"This problem isn't too difficult to solve. Why don't we in Haicheng learn from Licheng and implement a polyandrous system?"
A girl can have 10 husbands if she wants; if she doesn't, she can have one or none at all.
Lord Song looked at his son thoughtfully and said.
"I think so too. We'll implement this policy when we go there, so that more newborns can be born."
Otherwise, once this batch is gone, there probably won't be many people left for the next batch.
Lord Wu of Shuicheng expressed his agreement, saying that many people in Shuicheng also needed to resolve their marriage problems.
"Wouldn't that be treating women as reproductive tools? If this continues, women might be imprisoned simply because they are considered precious."
Therefore, we should still explore other methods of reproduction, such as directly using genes to breed children.
Ye Ziming had actually been considering this issue before; the problem of the low number of women must be solved.
Otherwise, nobody knows how things will end up, but it will definitely be terrible.
"Indeed, gender equality can still be achieved now, but that may not be the case in the future."
"If men could have children together, I wouldn't mind finding a man to spend my life with, just like being buddies for life, that would be great."
"Indeed, there are too many issues that we need to consider and study."
Everyone started discussing it, little did they know that these discussions would eventually become reality.
Instead of returning to their respective camps to rest that night, they dismantled everything and built a large communal sleeping area at Fang Xiyue's camp.
Everyone fell asleep quickly in bed, and it was very quiet around them, so they slept very well.
——
"Wake up, everyone! The water's coming in!"
Around 11 p.m., Qian Zhanlai got up to use the restroom and stepped directly into the water, which was quite deep, reaching up to his knees and almost submerging the heated kang bed.
Upon hearing the sound, the Light System threw out two orbs of light, and then everyone saw the water inside the house.
Looking out the window, the ground outside was also flooded; except for the higher hills, all the flat areas were submerged.
Is the tide coming in? Why is there no sound at all?
The water level is still slowly rising, and it's not safe for them to stay inside like this.
"I don't think the water level has risen; rather, the island we're on is sinking."
Jun Nanxuan glanced at the sea outside and said, "If it were high tide, the sea wouldn't be so calm; there are only a few ripples."
"Everyone, take your things and let us leave by helicopter."
Fang Xiyue immediately decided that if no one woke up, they would probably all have to drink some seawater.
They didn't go outside; instead, they simply opened up the roof.
Fang Xiyue launched the helicopter, and four pilots boarded first, followed by the others who lined up to board. By this time, the water level had already submerged the heated brick bed.
The helicopter soared into the sky, but they didn't leave because they were all curious about what was going on.
Even if she wasn't curious, Fang Xiyue wouldn't leave, because the system notification indicated that the Overlord had appeared.
[Fang Xiyue: Where is the overlord? I can't see him.]
Fang Xiyue used her mental energy to look again and again, but still couldn't see it.
[Host, the overlord is the island you just lived on. This isn't an ordinary island; it's the shell of a mutated giant tortoise!]
The system was also seeing such a large turtle for the first time and was very curious.
[Fang Xiyue: A turtle? So big? That's unbelievable.]
With so many rocks and such on its shell, this turtle probably doesn't like to move around much.
Why did it suddenly move this time? Is it hungry and hunting?!
Everyone pressed their faces against the window, watching as the island outside was gradually and completely submerged into the sea.
"Sister Yue, what will we do if your island sinks?"
Everyone knows that the island belongs to Fang Xiyue, so their first thought is that Fang Xiyue will be heartbroken if the island sinks.
"It's okay, it will rise again later, don't worry."
Fang Xiyue was confident in this, after all, the giant turtle couldn't stay at the bottom eating fish forever.
Fang Xiyue channeled her spiritual energy into the sea and finally saw the giant turtle's head. It was so big that it was almost unrecognizable without careful observation.
Those eyes were so big that Fang Xiyue questioned her existence; she estimated that even a truck would look like a shrimp in front of them.
The giant turtle opened its mouth, and seawater, along with fish, was sucked directly into its mouth like a bottomless pit.
It seems the giant turtle wasn't full at all, mainly because it was too big; the fish weren't even enough to fill its teeth. If there had been mutated fish, it might have been a little better.
Fang Xiyue didn't intend to waste any time, so she directly used her mental power to talk to the giant tortoise.
"Grandpa Turtle, I can feed you, would you like to come with me?"
This tortoise must be at least ten thousand years old. It would be such a pity if it starved to death.
"Girl, are you serious?"
An aged voice reached Fang Xiyue's ears, giving her the feeling of hearing her ancestor speaking.
"Yes, as long as you follow me, you can return to your previous size. I will prepare a place with plenty of food for you."
Fang Xiyue's voice was firm, so that Grandpa Turtle wouldn't think she was lying to him.
“Alright, I agree. This old man has lived for tens of thousands of years and has always been active in this sea area. I’ve seen enough of these places. It would be good to live somewhere else. It would be good.”
Grandpa Turtle's voice brought tears to my eyes. A turtle has lived here for tens of thousands of years, and it must be very sad to watch generation after generation grow and die.
Fang Xiyue directly put Grandpa Turtle into her spatial storage, and the island on Grandpa Turtle's body, without support, sank directly to the bottom of the sea.
Fang Xiyue silently signed in, believing that one day this island would gradually accumulate and eventually resurface.
[Congratulations, host, you have successfully checked in and acquired ownership of Island #3.]
"Let's go straight to Island 4 and rest there for the night."
Fang Xiyue immediately ordered the pilot to head to Island No. 4.
——
On November 10th, the 151st day of the apocalypse, at 3 a.m., they finally arrived at Island 4.
Everyone was so tired that they took a nap on the helicopter, but they still felt very sleepy.
So as soon as they landed on Island 4, everyone built houses and went inside to continue sleeping.
The island on island number 4 is covered with trees and looks like it has plenty of supplies. Fang Xiyue felt that it was very likely that she would not be needed to provide supplies.
Everyone slept until after 9 a.m. before getting up. It was raining outside, and the sky was gloomy.
"I didn't even realize it was already past 9 o'clock if I hadn't checked the time."
When it rains, people can't go out and can only stay indoors to absorb the jade and pass the time.
"I don't know how long this rain will last. If it rains during our team or group matches, it will be really difficult to attack other teams and collect food."
Now, when people encounter problems, they start to think about the possibility of facing the same situation in the International Superpower Competition, so they can start thinking of solutions now.
