Chapter 218 Noah's Ark

Zhen Jinli's heart skipped a beat when she heard Pei Ming's answer.

If she remembered correctly, her room was on the east side, while Pei Ming's room was on the west side of the hotel.

There is a reservoir on both sides of the hotel. Doesn't that mean that if the reservoir is full, the water flowing down will flood the entire plain near the hill where the hotel is located?

After a while, Pei Ming told Zhen Jinli the news he had heard from the other two team members.

"Fu Ling is in the south room. She said it's a sea view room. You can see the coastline outside by opening the floor-to-ceiling windows."

"It's just that because of the rain, there are not many people swimming on the coast."

According to Lan Ze's latest principle of maximizing the destruction and damage of copies, the reservoir is likely to be used for a one-time flood discharge.

As for the coastline, it is quite easy to launch a tsunami.

Wow, the buffs are fully stacked.

"What about the north? What's the situation in the north now?" Zhen Jinli asked.

Pei Ming said: "The north is inside the city. At present, there is nothing special."

This means that the hotel they are staying in is located next to the coastline, and if a tsunami or something like that occurs, they will be the first to be hit by the disaster.

In the face of the absolute power of nature, any additional rules seem so insignificant.

Zhen Jinli asked tentatively, "President Pei, if I told you that we might not be able to stay in this dungeon until the last day, would you give up on clearing it?"

Pei Ming was silent for a few seconds, then asked curiously, "Why?"

"So far, the only problem in this instance is the heavy rain. There haven't been any irreversible catastrophic events, right?"

"What on earth gave you such an idea?"

Zhen Jinli sat in her room, gazing at the huge water curtain hanging between the sky and the earth outside, her eyes blank.

"I just think if the rain continues to be heavy, it will soon flood the plains."

"Once the reservoir is full, the water in the east and west reservoirs will burst through the dam and pour down. By then, at least half of the hotel will be flooded."

"If a tsunami hits, the buildings along the coast will basically be destroyed by the flood. Then we will have nowhere to stay and will have no choice but to quit the game."

"Unless we can build a Noah's Ark in a short period of time, or find a huge ship-like transportation vehicle that can serve as an ark, so that many players can stay safely inside and hold on until the end."

According to the Book of Genesis in the Bible, as humans multiplied and expanded, they began to kill each other for their own benefit. Darkness and sin filled the entire world. When God saw this, he regretted creating humans.

Therefore, God cursed mankind and wanted to destroy them.

God decided to destroy the world with a great flood, but there was a kind and upright man named Noah who kept advising others to stop killing.

Under his influence, his family members also became kind and upright people.

Therefore, God told Noah in a dream that he was about to destroy the world with a flood, and asked Noah to build a huge ark to protect his family. After the flood receded, he and his family would build a beautiful new world together.

After telling Pei Ming the general story of Noah's Ark, Zhen Jinli reminded him, "Do you remember the hint we were given at the beginning of the game?"

"Welcome to Resurrection Paradise and build a beautiful new world."

"Only if we become the group of humans who survived the apocalyptic flood can we participate in the process of building a beautiful new world, right?"

Pei Ming was immediately shocked by Zhen Jinli's reasoning.

For the first time, he felt that Zhen Jinli's reasoning was actually very coherent, well-founded, and not outrageous at all.

What she said was very serious reasoning and she was not fooling him.

He took a deep breath and said sadly, "Okay, I understand."

"I won't force myself to finish this round. Let's just stay in the game as long as we can."

Zhen Jinli felt very relieved that Pei Ming had such awareness.

"Well, as long as you can prepare yourself mentally."

When Pei Ming told Li Pei that he probably couldn't complete this game, he was met with strong dissatisfaction from the latter.

"Pei Ming, although we respectfully address you as President Pei, we are actually your Party A, and you are the Party B who receives the membership fees."

Li Pei's concept is still stuck in the client's thinking. He thinks that since he has spent money, the other party must provide him with complete services, without considering the reality factors at all.

Or perhaps, realistic factors were never within his consideration. He only knew that if he took money from others, he had to help them eliminate disasters.

As for Pei Ming's difficulties and the things that need understanding, I'm sorry, what does it have to do with him?

"Since you can bring us into the dungeon, you have the responsibility and obligation to help us complete the game. Now you tell me that it may not be possible to complete this game. What's the point?"

"That's not how you shirk responsibility. We paid a lot of membership fees just to get the props provided in the game. Now you tell me that I can't get them. Shouldn't you refund my membership fee?"

Pei Ming said coldly, "Li Pei, I know this result may be difficult for you to accept, but this is the reality."

"From the very beginning, I clearly stated in the contract that clearing dungeons involves certain risks and uncertainties. High-scoring players can only increase your clearance rate, but they can't guarantee a 100% clearance rate."

"Li Pei, have the last few dungeons been so smooth that you feel like survival games are just playing house?"

"If you really can't accept the uncertainty of the dungeon clearance rate, then after you exit this dungeon, I will refund the rest of your membership fee."

"After this, I won't lead you through dungeons anymore. Please find someone else."

After hanging up the instant messenger, Li Pei was so angry that he kicked over the hotel's trash can and swept everything on the table to the ground.

"Braise!"

Li Pei couldn't help but swear.

He had made some money from his business before, and started a real estate speculation business, using leverage to buy three houses.

When the survival game came, the industry was in decline, and the economy was sluggish, he stopped paying his mortgage, and the three houses he bought in the name of his brothers and sisters were taken away by the court and auctioned off.

To make matters worse, due to the drop in housing prices, the final auction prices of his houses were not even enough to offset his mortgage.

In other words, not only did he lose his house, he also owed the bank hundreds of thousands of dollars in loans.

That's why he would borrow money to pay membership fees and ask players with high scores to take him to the survival game.
