Chapter 48 Chapter 048【VIP】

Mingzhu shook his head, indicating that a price increase was impossible. If he did, the prices he had set in the beginning would have been very high, not cheap.

After all, the purpose of building the "Taoyuan Base" was not to make huge profits, but to set a very high price from the beginning.

Wouldn't it be easier to learn from other bases and exploit ordinary people? If it's like this now, then it will always be like this.

"Take your time. There's no rush."

Mingzhu made another Buddhist speech, which made everyone in Jinsuanpan speechless.

"You're just playing it down," Jin Suanpan said speechlessly, "You've mastered the game of playing it down."

"Isn't this good? At least I'm not tired." Mingzhu sighed, then added, "You don't know, back in the interstellar battlefield, I spent at least 18 of the 24 hours a day killing bugs. Eating? Hey, it was completely nutrient supplements instead. The occasional days off, when I enjoyed a nice meal, were also roasted bugs. Back then, I could see the end of the world every day when I woke up."

"That's a bit exaggerated!" Jin Suanpan commented, "but it makes sense."

Mingzhu snorted, then said, "But even if it's ruined, it won't last long. Wait a few days, and maybe it won't be long before we're busy again."

"What do you mean?" Jin Suanpan asked thoughtfully.

"There's a song that goes, 'Sunshine always comes after the storm.' After the snowstorm, there will be sunny days. And when the snow melts, it's usually the coldest time."

Yes, Mingzhu’s guess was correct.

After a few days, the blizzard stopped, and the whole world was severely devastated, with potholes everywhere, as if it had been ravaged by a prehistoric monster.

The heavy snow stopped and the sun came out for the first time. The temperature rose a little on the first day of the sun, but it was not enough to melt the thick snow.

On the contrary, compared with the previous snowy season, it is even colder. But the temperature shows that it has warmed up.

The next day, the sun was still shining and there was no snow.

The temperature rose again, and the snow on the surface began to melt, taking away the slight heat in the air.

Compared to yesterday, the second day was even colder.

In this way, time passed day by day, and the temperature kept rising. When it reached minus 20 degrees Celsius, it was so cold that it felt like being naked in the ice and snow.

It's funny, but it's true.

Soon, on December 20th, the temperature officially rose back above zero. The scorching sun hung in the sky, and the snow, which had been melting very slowly, melted at an extraordinary speed.

Finally, on January 3rd of the following year, it completely melted.

At this time, the temperature seems to have risen to 5 degrees, but the perceived temperature may exceed minus 100 degrees.

It's true that it's not cold when it snows, but when the snow melts it's the coldest. Even if you're soaking in a hot spring in a hot spring resort, you still feel cold.

That kind of coldness is psychological. Even if the body is not actually cold due to the effect of the hot spring, it still feels like a shiver in the mind.

In this world, the four seasons are pretty simple: spring from January to March, summer from April to June, autumn from July to September, and winter from October to December.

Now, on January 3rd, spring has naturally arrived. As for Mingzhu, as early as December 30th, he had posted a warning about the natural disasters that would occur in the next quarter, and as considerate as ever, he had set a countdown.

On January 5th, the snow completely melted and the temperature suddenly soared to 10 degrees Celsius. To be honest, compared to the terrible cold weather, this temperature is not bad.

Everyone is still feeling uneasy, and the reason is related to the water formed by the melting snow.

They gathered together quickly in a short time, and soon formed a mighty torrent that hit this broken world.

Especially since January 8th, the rain has officially started. From the initial drizzle to the heavy downpour, it only took a day.

Being in Taoyuan Base, residents could clearly see that the confluence of countless streams and the heavy rain soon submerged the two-meter-high area outside the Taoyuan Base.

"Hey, what is that thing?" someone suddenly exclaimed. "It's a shark!"

"What shark?"

Those who heard this began to search.

There was indeed a shark, and not just one.

They swam around happily with their bloody mouths wide open, and from time to time they would bump into the protective shield, and then be electrocuted and numb all over by the rebound force of the shield.

After that, the rain continued to fall for about a day or so before it finally stopped. By then, the Taoyuan base had been flooded.

To be precise, the raging flood tightly surrounded the Taoyuan base.

"What the hell is that!"

"Sharknado!"

"What?"

"The shark was caught in the tornado and landed with the tornado. I was very confused about how the shark came from. After all, our Taoyuan Base is inland. Today, the shark tornado gave the answer. It turns out that he

"...this damn world."

"

"Do you still want to go out today?"

"What else?"

"There's nothing we can do. Look at this awful weather. Even if we can swim, if we go out...

"indeed."

Mingzhu rarely came out today, and as soon as he came out, he saw a shark swimming happily above his head.

Mingzhu: “…”

"Zhu, I want to eat shark fin." 184 squatted on Mingzhu's shoulder, looking at one shark fin after another with greedy eyes.

"Do you think we can get out of this situation?" Mingzhu was speechless, suddenly wanting to beat up 184. What a little jerk, always trying to trick the host.

"Oh! They are so tempting."

184 When in the presence of outsiders, he would never call the host Mingzhu, but would call him "Zhu Ah" and refer to himself as "I".

Very humane, doesn't look that stupid! But it pits the host's heart, at this moment 184 is unprecedented.

Mingzhu: “…”

"No matter how tempting it is, you can't go out now," Mingzhu said clearly. "It's already an underwater world. If there were submarines, we could go out, but unfortunately, we don't have any."

184: "......"

"Boss," the residents who had come out to watch the sharks greeted Mingzhu after seeing him. "Boss, you've got the leisure time to come and watch the sharks!"

"I heard there was a sharknado that brought sharks from the sea to land, so I was curious and came out to take a look."

Mingzhu replied with a smile and also gave a thoughtful reminder, "It's best not to go out for the next seven days."

"Boss, will this water recede?"

"It will recede, but it will probably take several days." Mingzhu did not hide anything and explained the reason why the water would recede.

"There will be cracks in the ground, and once the ground cracks, the water will be sucked into the ground."

It may form lakes, or it may form abundant groundwater resources. It can be said that the arrival of the ground fissure is actually a good thing.

If there had not been a crack in the ground following the flood, who knows whether this world would have become a water world.

However, most people, including Mingzhu, were not happy about this. It was the same feeling as when they learned about the arrival of the "extreme cold weather": their eggs were frozen solid, and the slightest pull would cause them to crack and shatter.

"Wait until the ground fissure comes and the flood is sucked into the ground before you say anything about getting out. Otherwise..." Mingzhu pointed at the super arrogant sharks swimming around in the water.

"Who knows if they have any mutations."

"It looks just like the sharks before the apocalypse!"

"There are many species of sharks. The smallest shark known so far is the sperm shark, which is 15 to 22 centimeters long."

Some residents began to popularize what they knew.

"Look at them, aren't they different from great white sharks?"

The great white shark, also known as the man-eating shark or the man-eating shark, has a body length of 140 to 600 cm, and the longest great white shark can even reach 800 cm.

The dorsal side is bluish brown or dark brown, and the lower side and belly are light gray to white. If people swim in the sea, they will mistake them for seals and then hunt them.

The small sperm shark, with its slender, conical body and skin covered in tiny shield scales, resembles a fish. The sharks that constantly swarm around the Taoyuan base aren't great white sharks at all, but they mostly range in length from 3 to 6 meters.

It is almost certain that they are all mutated little sperm mermaids.

It's both a good thing and a bad thing!

In the past, the small sperm sharks were indeed harmless and were raised as ornamental fish, but now, who knows if they will eat humans after they mutate.

So really, while we are glad that they are not great white sharks, we cannot guarantee whether the mutated sperm sharks have changed their diet.

If nothing changes, that's fine. But if something changes...

Tsk, it seems like there is no other way to survive except fighting to the death!

Mingzhu once again stared at the shark (a mutated small sperm shark) swimming outside, and only looked away after a long time.

"Yes, the old man is right. If you think you can breathe and walk underwater, you can go out and try it."

"You'll die if you try?"

Those who stand by the road and watch the "excitement" don't have the courage to try to go out when they know that they may die if they go out.

"Oh my god, what is that?"

Suddenly someone in the crowd exclaimed again.

Mingzhu looked in the direction of the finger and saw a huge sea snake flashing with colorful lights, trying to attack the protective shield. Even though it was electrocuted by the protective shield every time it hit the shield, the sea snake still did not get tired of it.

"...It must be doing it on purpose!" someone said hesitantly. "It's just like a human quirk. Maybe it just enjoys that moment of numbness and trembling from the electric shock!"
