Chapter 133 Exploring New Areas
Xia Shige and his family have been following the news for some time. This global large-scale volcanic eruption lasted for about a week and has only gradually subsided in recent days.
During this week, hundreds of millions of people lost their homes and became displaced, and countless people were killed and injured.
Many island nations near the sea are now considered dead. The beautiful beaches and bustling ports of the past have disappeared without a trace, leaving only broken walls, collapsed buildings and rubble all over the ground.
Those who survived the volcanic eruption and tsunami also fell into a state of anarchy, with victims everywhere, wailing and misery.
Due to the volcanic ash cover in the past few days, the sunlight cannot penetrate the ash cloud and the air temperature has begun to gradually drop.
Xia Shige closed the news page and casually browsed the owner group of Xindu Community. Everyone in the group had mixed feelings.
I am happy that I finally don’t have to turn on the air conditioner to prolong my life, which saves a lot of electricity bills. But I am worried that I don’t know when I can see the sun again.
“2-1908 Coconut Tree: The temperature has finally dropped in the past few days. Although it is still a bit hot, it is much better than before.”
“6-702 䲾月光: Yes, today is the first time I woke up without sweating. It’s really rare to feel dry and refreshed.”
"4-1209 is slacking off: What is waking up? I feel like I can't wake up at all. I've been in a daze these past few days because there's no sun. When I wake up, I don't know whether it's day or night. I feel like my biological clock is completely messed up."
"6-702 䲾月光: Me too, and I feel a little depressed and uncomfortable in my heart."
“4-1209 is slacking off: I used to think the weather was too hot and the sun was too bright, and I wished the sun would never come out. Now that I can’t see the sun, I feel worse. I feel so conflicted.”
“6-2702 Huanhuan: I heard someone say before that humans are day-dependent animals. They work when the sun rises and rest when the sun sets. Lack of sunlight can really affect our mood and make us more prone to depression.”
“2-1908 Coconut Tree: Think positively, at least we can save money on air conditioning. A lot of people have died from the heatwave around the world, but this heatwave disaster is finally over.”
"2-1408 Gao Meili: The temperature has dropped, and the volcanic eruptions have stopped. The earth will finally return to normal, right? When can we resume work and school?"
"4-1209 is slacking off: @2-1408 Gao Meili, why are you in such a hurry? The temperature has only just dropped for two days."
"2-1408 Gao Meili: Don't worry, my child has been at home for a while and has almost forgotten everything he learned. He only has less than ten days left before the college entrance examination. It's not good to continue like this!"
"12-1803AAA Brother Building Materials has ceased business: No, how can it return to normal? The temperature has dropped, but look outside, it's dark outside, how can it return to normal?"
“5-601 Susu: Indeed, the temperature has only dropped. Without rainfall, the water shortage problem has not been solved. Besides, in the current situation, without sunlight, the land still cannot produce crops.”
"2-1908 Coconut Tree: If it doesn't produce, then it doesn't produce. Now we have sand rattan cakes to eat, so we won't starve to death. This plant is really amazing, and it can grow in this environment."
"4-1209 is slacking off: Enough, stop talking, I'm desperate now, stop reminding me that I can only eat sandvine cakes."
"7-408 Past events go with the wind: I'm here to remind everyone, please be careful when you go out to collect supplies recently, there are people who steal things when it's dark. Today, when my family was collecting sand vine cakes, the phone in his pocket was stolen."
"4-1209 is slacking off: @7-408 The past is gone with the wind. Have you called the police?"
"7-408 The past is gone with the wind: I've reported it, but it's too dark and I can't see clearly on the surveillance camera. I can only admit that I'm unlucky. Everyone, please be careful."
Xia Shige frowned as he looked at the group chat. He didn't expect that someone would steal in the dark. Sure enough, the night was prone to chaos. Some people couldn't help themselves now...
******
After lunch, Xia Shige entered the Taoyuan space.
The cherries in the Peach Garden woods are ripe, and the fruits of Gisela Black Pearl are crisp and sweet.
Xia Shige put cherry gift boxes on the shelves in Taoyuan store, priced at 50,000 yuan per box, with a limited quantity of 200 pieces. They were sold out as soon as they were put on the shelves.
Then Xia Shige processed the vegetables in the farmland and packed and shipped all those that needed to be shipped.
Now Xia Shige is no longer short of money. She has more than 100 million yuan in her account, which is enough for her family to live a worry-free life for the rest of their lives.
However, her Taoyuan store was still operating normally, for the simple reason that the unlocking conditions for the next area of the Taoyuan space had not yet been triggered.
Previously, it cost 100 million to unlock a mine, and 1 billion to unlock a lake. The space always asks for a huge amount of money. Xia Shige is afraid that it will cost 10 billion to unlock it next time!
She could only save more money just in case.
The problem now is that the unlocking conditions for the next unlocked area have not been activated yet.
Xia Shige and Nimao discussed it and found that there was no area covered by Ni fog within their field of vision and all the surrounding areas had been unlocked.
Then, the remaining unlocked area is either on the other side of Taoyuan Lake or on the other side of Taoyuan Mine.
Xia Shige decided to take a boat to the other side of Taoyuan Lake to take a look.
When he first learned to sail, Xia Shige didn't dare to sail too far from the shore. But after a period of persistent practice, Xia Shige has mastered the basic sailing skills and can try long-distance sailing.
She filled the yacht with gas, took some daily necessities and food into the cabin, took the cat and set off!
Xia Shige sat in the cockpit, steering the boat while admiring the beautiful scenery ahead, occasionally putting a piece of potato chips into his mouth.
The area of this lake is really large. The lake surface is like a mirror, the water is blue, and the breeze blows, causing ripples.
Occasionally, you can see one or two fish suddenly jump out of the water, splashing crystal clear water, and then quickly dive back into the water and disappear without a trace.
These fish were previously released into the Taoyuan stream by Xia Shige. Since the Taoyuan Lake was unlocked, some fish in the stream swam into the lake and began to survive and reproduce in this larger body of water.
After sailing for two or three hours, the wide lake gradually became narrower, and the originally steady water flow became somewhat turbulent. Xia Shige realized that he had driven the boat from the lake into the river.
After entering the river, the originally smooth surface of the water began to ripple. The yacht also rose and fell with the waves, shaking more and more violently. Xia Shige was a little nervous for a moment.
She quickly calmed herself down and silently reviewed the emergency operations she had practiced before. She held the steering wheel tightly and adjusted the yacht's direction in time according to the changes in the water flow, so that the yacht resumed its stable forward movement.
The yacht drifted down the river, and both sides of the river were covered with lush and green grass, stretching endlessly.
As the breeze blows, the reeds on the shore sway in the wind, as if you are in a fairy tale world.
Xia Shige sighed in his heart, no wonder this place is called Peach Blossom Land, this place can indeed be called a Peach Blossom Land.
The yacht continued to sail in the river for about an hour. Suddenly, a thick fog appeared in front of Xia Shige's sight, and she hurriedly slowed down the yacht.
Xia Shige took out a telescope and observed the foggy area ahead.
I saw that the end of the river was covered by a mist, and the water at the edge of the mist was bluer and deeper in color.
Xia Shige looked at the dark lake water at the edge of the fog with some surprise, and she realized that this should be the mouth of the river!
Xia Shige had seen popular science on geography TV programs before. This kind of scene where two different colors of river water were intertwined basically appeared at the mouth of a river.
Due to the different densities of river water and sea water, there is a difference in water color. In addition, there are a large number of colloidal particles in the sea that are positively charged, while river sediment is negatively charged. At the moment when the river flows into the sea, the colloidal particles and sediment form aggregation, forming this visually impactful "water color front".
Therefore, Xia Shige guessed that the area covered by fog in front should be the sea!
Xia Shige was born in an inland city and rarely had the opportunity to see the sea. Now that a sea appeared in her own space, she was extremely excited.
Xia Shige held the cat and asked excitedly: "Xiao Xiao, what are the conditions for unlocking the fog in front? How much does it cost? 2 billion? 10 billion?"
The cat answered after testing:
[Unlocking condition of the foggy area ahead requires 100 peach blossom points. ]
