Will the Saviors reclaim the core of this world?
Gou Fugui's thoughts were interrupted by the world consciousness's renewed questioning. He listened to the question, which seemed devoid of any life or emotion, and for a moment he could hardly understand it.
It's like a dying patient asking him, "Do you want me to have euthanasia?"
Don't people instinctively struggle and cry for help when they are about to die?
The correct way to ask this question at this point would be, "Is there any way I can still save him?"
The savior, Fugui, did not voice his doubts, but it seemed as if the consciousness of this world heard his thoughts.
Then, the calm voice seemed to suddenly gain a slight fluctuation, and it asked the savior, Fugui, a question that touched the soul:
Even if I wanted to be resuscitated, would you be willing to risk your life to do it, and would you be certain that I could be saved in the end?
Gou Fugui had no words to reply.
He's not a superhero, how could he possibly save the entire world from collapse all by himself?
Even a real superhero couldn't do this here, because this is a disaster that human beings simply cannot solve.
But he's unwilling to take it back now.
Even if I can't save him, I hope I can at least do my best to save him.
If you're capable of doing anything, how can you possibly leave willingly?
The world's consciousness did not answer his question, nor did it ask a third time whether to reclaim the world's core.
Until Gou Fugui asked a question:
How can we repair the core of the world?
Didn't we say before that as long as we survive long enough, we'll have enough power to repair the core of the world?
Although most of the world is now submerged by seawater, life still exists in some high-altitude and plateau regions.
Even if plants cannot leave the earth, and even if animals do not have ships to save them, there should still be many humans.
In Washington state alone, there are still at least three or four hundred million people alive.
Isn't the power of these lives enough?
[Ineffective life force.]
The world's core lacks sufficient life force.
The wealthy and beautiful woman frowned: "But there will only be fewer and fewer people, and the power of life will only decrease. This is a paradox."
The number of organisms providing life is sufficient to maintain the basic ecosystem.
Even if 99% of the world's life were to die, it still wouldn't be enough to sustain the basic ecosystem.
Gou Fugui gasped, but he also understood the meaning of world consciousness.
That's roughly the difference between quality and quantity.
Even if there are many living beings, if they are not beings that can provide special life force, then they are not considered life.
Even if most of the life in the world has died out, as long as there is something that can provide special life force and life, the core of the world can still be restored.
The savior, Gou Fugui, figured this out and then thought it was both amazing and fucking ridiculous.
So what exactly is this special life force? Some people have it, some don't; it's even possible that some people don't have it now but will have it later, or have it now but won't have it later...
This is not the power of life, it is the power of Schrödinger!
Moreover, Gou Fugui could hardly imagine what kind of life force could make one person equal to countless others.
But whatever kind of life force it is, he has already found the core of the world, and since he can take back the core of the world at any time, he will of course take a gamble.
"I need to repair the core of the world. I won't take it back now."
Gou Fugui made his decision. The world consciousness seemed to be silent for a moment, and just when Gou Fugui thought the world consciousness had disappeared, the emotionless voice reappeared.
If you can successfully save me, I will grant you a small appreciation of world consciousness.
Gou Fugui: "???"
The world seemed cold and ruthless, but why did the art style suddenly change at the end?
But after that, Gou Fugui never heard any voice from the world consciousness again.
He drifted off to sleep while pondering the very nature of "life force."
He was woken up very early the next day by the noise from the "dormitory". When he opened his eyes, he saw the light blue inner wall of the capsule. After exiting the capsule, he saw a large group of people lining up to wash up.
The wealthy beauty pressed her temples, once again wishing she could transform into Otter Fugui and float on the sea.
Today is the third day since the major earthquake struck your province. It is also the first day the government announced that everyone should begin boarding ships.
During the day, when he was free to go out and find food and supplies, Gou Fugui saw the other seventeen super-giant ships, "Mountain," begin to carry people.
It was a truly breathtaking scene; through the hazy rain, the dense crowd seemed to stretch on and on.
Gou Fugui suddenly thought of the ants that swarmed towards the anthill; the crowd now heading towards the giant ship was just like those ants.
However, in the grand scheme of things, aren't humans as insignificant as ants?
Anthills can be trampled flat by a single foot or submerged by a cup of water, and human homes can be destroyed by a relentless downpour and rapidly rising sea levels.
Thinking about it this way, it seems as if they really are ineffective lives, as if they are dispensable to this world.
Gou Fugui shook his head violently, realizing he was probably obsessed with life energy. There was no need to belittle himself before seeing any results.
The most important thing now is to hurry up and collect food. Unlike Grandpa Jin and Jin Fugui, he doesn't have a year's fixed amount of free food rewards. He also has to support his family and raise twelve animals. He has to fish diligently every day!
With this thought in mind, Gou Fugui activated the orca bloodline bonus. Compared to the cute little sea otter, orca was much more suited to hunting and survival.
Let's go swimming around somewhere a bit further away today, and hopefully catch a fish even bigger than that swordfish!
In some ways, wealthy and beautiful women are quite persistent in their pursuit of competition.
After a day of wandering outside, the orca Fugui brought back three king salmon in the evening.
You might not be familiar with the name King Salmon, but its other name sounds delicious.
"Damn! Bro, I need to switch the fish! Fresh, live salmon! I can eat five pounds of it by myself!"
When Gou Fugui returned with the fish, the black dog and husky, who had been waiting very attentively at the boarding gate, came to greet him.
Two cats were perched on the backs of the two large dogs. When they saw the two king salmon that their eldest dog was holding, the eyes of all four cats lit up.
But there was someone even faster than the cat: Jin Mantang, who stretched out his hands covered in rings. Gou Fugui looked at those incredibly familiar hands and heard those incredibly familiar words, and he really had the urge to roll his eyes.
However, he still randomly picked a ring and put it in his pocket.
Why not take advantage of this opportunity? These things will all turn into money when you get back.
Afterwards, Gou Fugui used the heads and tails of two king salmon to exchange for a day's worth of food for five dogs, two squirrels, and a parrot.
The four cats happily ate salmon slices with their boss, while Grandpa Jin, Jin Mantang, and Xie Tianlang also enjoyed the blessings of their wealthy boss.
Song Sanchuan, eating the super fresh salmon slices, was deeply moved: "Brother Gui! You're even better at catching fish than our boss! Following you feels even better than following our Captain Xie!"
Brother Fugui was very pleased with the flattery from Xie Tianlang's underling, and he raised his chin and eyebrows to look at Xie Tianlang.
Xie Langren thought Yuanyuan was cute and accepted the challenge with a smile.
But compared to the pleasantness of their corner, the other guests around them felt somewhat resentful.
Besides the fact that they had all packed light and didn't carry much food, relying on doing various jobs on the ship to earn contribution points to buy food, what made these people most resentful was the twelve animals that ate better than humans.
"Young people are so willful! They have so much extra food, yet they feed it to dogs instead of people. They haven't experienced the suffering of famine back then!"
“My grandson loves salmon, but now he can only eat instant noodles and ham, while a cat can eat salmon.”
"Look at that husky, it's quite good-looking. We could make a hot pot of dog meat with it, right?"
"That parrot would probably taste good roasted, hey... why are you glaring at me, kid? I was just saying, I didn't actually roast your bird!"
Most of the people who were able to reach the third mountain had earned large contribution points by donating urgently needed items. In other words, most of them were people with some power and wealth.
These people naturally possess an arrogance stemming from their wealth and power.
Especially those young heirs of wealthy families.
As a second-generation rich kid himself, Jin Mantang turned to look at the young man and woman in the capsule cabin opposite them, a hint of disgust flashing in his eyes.
The wealth and virtues accumulated by our ancestors are meant to help their descendants to do better, not to be squandered by them.
But many children from wealthy families fail to understand this point.
Jin Mantang reached out and patted the head of the husky that was obediently lying at their feet playing with its tail: "From now on, you two will stay in the cabin and guard my grandpa and not run around. Otherwise, not to mention you silly husky, even a brave German Shepherd might inexplicably turn into a pot of dog meat one day."
When the husky heard the word "dog meat," its body, which had just become a little rounder, trembled. The German Shepherd and the Labrador sat up even straighter, their faces showing a wary expression.
Gou Fugui glanced around, patted the black dog, and said nothing.
The day after everyone started boarding the ship, Gou Fugui went out for another day, but this time he took Hei Bei with him. When they returned, in addition to bringing back a big fish, Xie Tianlang noticed that Hei Bei had a dog bite ball the size of an apple hanging around its neck.
Jin Mantang also noticed the ball and was very interested in touching it, but was refused by the most serious German Shepherd with its paw.
It seemed the German Shepherd took the ball very seriously. Even the husky, who usually played around with it, tried to bite the ball, but the German Shepherd swatted it away with a fierce paw.
The husky felt more aggrieved than ever before and nestled in the arms of the wealthy boss, whimpering.
After carefully observing the ball, Xie Tianlang's eyes showed surprise, but that surprise quickly turned into a kind of indulgent, appreciative, and ambiguous smile.
On the third day after everyone boarded, all twenty super-large ships were fully booked. But many more people were still heading this way.
Countless people cried and begged to board the ship, but there was simply no room for them.
Fortunately, in addition to these twenty mountain ships, there are tens of thousands of different ships, speedboats, cargo ships, lifeboats and all other vessels that can sail at sea that the authorities can find in this huge coastal port of Qingchuan.
Those who come here can board these ships and stay alongside the giant mountains, which is one way to preserve their lives as much as possible.
Some were unwilling to board those ships that seemed incapable of weathering the storms and planned to find a way to climb the mountains. Others gritted their teeth and boarded the non-specially designed ships, following the majority of the group, which was better than staying on the only remaining plateau land, living in fear.
In short, some people chose to stay, while others chose to leave.
Those who remained pinned their hopes on the newly built, specially designed mountain-going vessels, believing they still had some time. But disaster never gives anyone a moment to breathe—
When the deafening roar of the landslide exploded like thunder in his ears, Gou Fugui, who was fast asleep, once again felt the earth-shattering tremor.
He suddenly opened his eyes and heard screams beside him and the piercing alarm sounding in the cabin.
Then, amidst the announcements inside the ship instructing everyone to stay in their capsules and not move around, Gou Fugui activated the Orca bloodline enhancement. He once again heard the sounds of mountains collapsing and the cries and roars of countless marine creatures.
There were also sounds of mountains closing in, sealing off, and slowly descending.
In the deep sea, the power of giant waves and collapsing rocks is greatly reduced.
This time, Gou Fugui didn't even knock himself unconscious; he survived the eight-hour period of chaotic shaking solely thanks to his bloodline enhancement.
When all the disasters seemed to have stopped and the world returned to peace, the giant mountain began to rise slowly.
When the ascent stopped and the mountain reappeared on the sea, Gou Fugui and Xie Tianlang, who still had the strength, rushed to the window of the giant ship.
Then, Gou Fugui saw a vast ocean that seemed to have no end.
The long-haired youth's eyes widened involuntarily as he ran along the circular window of the giant ship, looking out in disbelief.
He finally stopped abruptly when he reached due west.
He finally saw land ahead of him.
However, all that remained of the land before him was the last mountain peak piercing the sea.
It resembles a giant sword that refuses to perish and is broken.
"The Qingchuan Plateau collapsed overnight?"
This was Jin Mantang's shocked and terrified question as he staggered over.
