Chapter 312 The Arrival of the Ark

After the Chinese New Year, Yao Tao and Bai Lin continued to live a carefree life in their little nest in the tree hole.

Yao Tao took some time to make a lot of snacks for herself: spicy dried fish and spicy meat strips.

Because they contain spicy ingredients, they escape the fate of being eaten by the white scales.

Of course, she also made some non-spicy snacks.

In addition to keeping these things for herself as snacks, she also plans to sell them in the Ark market in exchange for Doomsday Coins.

In addition to making dried fish and dried meat, she would occasionally bake some bread, cakes, and various snacks to satisfy Bai Lin's cravings.

Standing on the balcony at the top of the tree, Yao Tao felt the change in the wind.

The biting north wind finally faded away, and the spring breeze blew across the entire jungle.

The early morning sun shines through the thin clouds, giving the jungle the vitality of a new day.

The birds were the first to wake up, flapping their wings and flying into the sky.

From time to time, the roars of wild beasts could be heard in the forest.

Yao Tao counted the days: the day when the Ark would arrive was approaching.

As the weather warmed up, Yao Tao and Bai Lin changed out of their thick clothes and put on lighter coats.

"I'm going somewhere today. You can't go with me, and you can't use your powers to pick me up. Remember that?" she asked Bai Lin before leaving. "If I don't come back at night, there's food in the kitchen, and there are snacks you like in the cupboard. But you must not use your powers to suddenly appear in front of me."

She rarely asked Bai Lin to do this. Bai Lin seemed to realize something and asked, "Is it dangerous?"

"Maybe."

"I can protect you."

"I know your abilities, but I'm going to the Ark, where people from Organization F are also there... When the Ark first arrived, there were very few survivors. They'd easily notice you if you went there. I'll go and scout out the situation first, and I'll take you there later when more people have gone."

In order to convince Bai Lin, she had to promise to make a cream cake for him when she came back.

Bai Lin fell in love with the taste of her homemade cream puffs ever since he had one, but her cake-baking skills were really not that good, so she rarely baked them for him.

Bai Lin stayed behind to guard the house, and she flew away alone using a hang glider.

She still remembered where the Ark had docked.

The hang glider landed near the anchorage point, and Yao Tao took out a telescope to observe the sea.

There is a small dot in the distance that looks like an island.

That's it.

She checked the time and saw that it would still take some time for it to reach the coast, so she quickly disguised herself.

Those were the costumes and props she had prepared in advance, all of which were clothes that looked rather old.

An hour later, the Ark appeared in her sight like a small island.

Some survivors on the beach also discovered the Ark and gathered on the beach shouting.

Some are ecstatic, some are frightened and uneasy.

None of them knew what the arrival of this artificial island meant.

Soon an artificial suspension bridge extended from the ark, leading directly to the shore.

Several vehicles drove over the suspension bridge, with many workers on board. After reaching the shore, they quickly built a temporary dock.

A person who looked like a staff member also put up a sign with an official notice on it.

The survivors all crowded over to read the notice.

Yao Tao did not join them because she already knew the content of the notice.

It simply tells the survivors that the Ark will be officially opened in a month to accept survivors.

The survivors cheered.

"We are finally saved!"

"That's great! We don't have to suffer from cold and hunger in the resettlement site anymore!"

Yao Taoxin said, unfortunately, you are wrong.

No matter where you are, you will never be able to eat for free.

If you want to live well, you have to hand over your supplies in exchange for doomsday coins to buy a house.

Those who really have no money can rent a temporary shop.

Each bed is paid monthly.

However, there is no privacy in this kind of environment. Men, women, young and old are all mixed together, which makes it easy for disputes to occur and even result in deaths.

A better option would be to rent a long-term space.

These beds have curtains and are shared by twenty people in a room.

Similar to a dormitory.

The rooms Yao Tao liked were not these. What she wanted was a real room with its own door and window.

Only those staying in the high-end rooms can enjoy privacy, and they will also be protected by the armed personnel on the Ark.

When the Ark staff finished posting the notice and were about to go back, Yao Tao walked over and started a conversation with them.

"Excuse me, can I register to enter the Ark now?"

"Don't you have eyes? It's written on the notice." The staff member pointed impatiently at the notice board. Suddenly, he saw Yao Tao holding the Ark's priority boarding letter of introduction. His expression changed instantly, "Of course, you can come with me."

Under the astonished gazes of many survivors, Yao Tao got on the staff's car and drove towards the ark in the distant sea.
