After seeing the person off, Zuo Ling's face darkened.

Pei Nansheng said, "It seems we have no choice but to leave."

During the meeting, Bai Hongwei mentioned that the earthquake in Japan and the nuclear power plant leak had already affected the surrounding waters.

Authorities have detected rising sea levels and suspect possible plate tectonics. This has not been publicly announced to avoid unnecessary panic should the assessment prove incorrect.

Furthermore, national reserves are running low and can no longer support a large-scale relocation. Abandoning them was a choice made by the top leadership out of sheer desperation.

Looking around, the two little ones, Snow Night and Waterfall, were playing carefree.

Having stayed in this home for over two years, Zuo Ling truly couldn't bear to leave.

Having understood what his older siblings were saying, Xiao Hao pouted, his eyes reddening. He couldn't bear to leave such a wonderful home.

Pei Nansheng was also reluctant to part with them. Since he could remember, the days he spent with his younger siblings on Noah's Ark were the happiest days of his life.

Zuo Ling was not one to drag things out: "Since you've decided to leave, pack your things and leave today."

Bai Hongwei and the others never expected that two hours after they left, Zuo Ling's family would disappear from their home.

Many people are struggling to make a living, and there are many people coming and going in the community.

With planes constantly flying overhead, their attention was largely diverted, and Zuo Ling and her family left quietly.

Zuo Ling didn't care whether clearing everything out of the house would arouse suspicion.

Take a speedboat out of the community, walk to a quiet and deserted place, and transfer to a 10-person shuttle boat.

Pei Nansheng and Xiao Hao stared wide-eyed at the sight of the shuttle.

The lesson learned from Pei Nansheng and his group's previous encounter served as a wake-up call for Zuo Ling. The fact that the shuttle could travel underwater would reduce a lot of unnecessary trouble.

Xiao Hao, along with Xueye and the waterfall, couldn't wait to jump onto the shuttle, exclaiming "Wow, wow!" repeatedly.

"Sister, we have such a wonderful boat at home."

Do you like it?

I love it so much!

This wasn't the first time I'd seen a boat gliding down the waterfall; it remained calm, swishing its tail and sniffing around in the snowy night.

Pei Nansheng, on the other hand, was interested in how to drive.

Zuo Ling directly selected the diving mode. The shuttle's power system was a diesel engine that converted into electrical energy, but she didn't understand the specific principles behind it.

He explained things to Pei Nansheng while driving.

Since buying it, she had never driven it, and her memory of it was hazy. Zuo Ling was afraid that Pei Nansheng would nag her, so she had to pretend that she was very familiar with it.

The shuttle was a novelty to Pei Nansheng, and he no longer had time to think about Zuo Ling.

After driving for more than half an hour, Zuo Ling became increasingly skilled at operating the vehicle.

The shuttle is mainly for the general public, and driving it is not meant to be difficult. It is relatively easy to operate. Pei Nansheng can learn it after watching Zuo Ling operate it once.

More than two hours later, Zuo Ling and his group appeared in a flat area in Xishan.

After more than two years of extreme cold and darkness, followed by more than three months of toxic fog, the fog dissipated and torrential rain followed. The revival of vegetation was far off, and the landscape was desolate.

Zuo Ling was unwilling to leave like this; she hadn't had enough of living in Noah's Ark's house yet.

"Brother, let's stay here for a while and see what happens."

"good."

Since everyone is essentially a wanderer, people tend to stay in familiar places until danger strikes.

This place is far from the crowds, and you can leave whenever you want, so Pei Nansheng naturally followed Zuo Ling's lead.

Upon hearing that they wouldn't be leaving for the time being, Xiao Hao excitedly ran around like crazy, with Xueye and the waterfall taking off to chase after him.

"Xiao Hao, don't run too far. Play where your older brother and sister can see you."

"Okay, got it."

The child's raised voice softened the sorrow of parting.

Zuo Ling casually released four tall shipping containers, each with an internal length of 13 meters.

“Brother, when we go to the Northwest, I don’t want to be crammed into a shelter. I want to use it to build our own home, a home that we can move to anytime.”

Each shipping container is 2.3 meters wide. Four of them can be joined together to form an interior space of over 100 square meters, enough for a family to live in.

Pei Nansheng's eyes lit up. "That's a good idea!"

He couldn't help but ask, "You even thought of a shuttle, but why didn't you think of buying a mobile villa? Is it because you don't have enough money?"

Zuo Ling denied it: "No, I heard that there are requirements for the installation of mobile villas, and they are not suitable for installation everywhere."

Pei Nan was hearing this for the first time, and he didn't understand it either.

Zuo Ling then said:

"Mobile villas are all too beautifully made, too conspicuous when displayed, and they don't provide adequate insulation in extreme weather. With frequent natural disasters, they're not very practical. The conversion process takes too long, which I can't afford to wait for. Container houses are less conspicuous, easier to disguise, and can be modified however I want."

Pei Nansheng expressed his agreement.

“However,” Zuo Ling frowned.

"But what?"

"How are your manual skills? I'm terrible with handicrafts. I can help you out, but don't expect me to be the main operator."

Pei Nansheng laughed loudly: "There are things you can't handle too. It's okay, isn't this what your brother needs right now? Watch me."

The materials Zuo Ling downloaded contained many examples of container houses converted into homes.

The brother and sister studied everything, planned the layout and precautions, and then began to modify it.

Four shipping containers were welded together, leaving only one entrance and exit, with four small windows on the south side.

Each small window corresponds to a room; Zuo Ling's bedroom and living room are on one side, while Pei Nansheng and Xiao Hao's rooms are on the other side.

The waterfall is where Zuo Ling lives, and the snowy night is where Xiao Hao lives. The bathroom, kitchen, and training room are on the shady side.

A wastewater tank and a diesel generator are installed on the north side exterior, with ventilation openings on the top of the tank.

It's easier said than done. We have to consider extreme weather conditions, such as extreme cold or heat, as well as the possibility of being attacked.

Adding solar panels, installing air filtration systems, and fixing water and electricity supply and drainage are actually minor issues.
