Chapter 182 Chapter 182 Flood
Half a month later
The first batch of ferry tickets were officially put on sale, and within ten hours, they were shown as sold out on the ticket purchasing channel.
Su Guizhi couldn't help but sigh, "I didn't expect there are so many rich people in our country?"
After saying that, she looked at the packed suitcases and handbags in the living room and couldn't help feeling sad again.
"Xiaoxing, when do you plan to board the ship?"
Miao Yueze and Wei Mingjie worked at the shipyard, and the government had forced them not to resign. Otherwise, they and their families would be blacklisted, and they would have to wait for the third batch of Noah's Ark, which was far from over.
But Miao Yuexing is a freelancer with no restrictions, and he also has a ticket for the first Noah's Ark.
"Maybe in a while."
It is very troublesome to go out to sea to fish after getting on the boat. He Junxia wants to make more money before the two worlds are completely integrated.
After all, no one knows what kind of huge changes will be brought about by the complete integration of the two worlds.
Su Guizhi walked over and took her youngest son's hand. She sighed and said, "I know you have your own ideas, but can you please get on board soon?"
"You can never make enough money. No amount of money is as important as having a safe and happy family."
He Junxia looked down and saw the worry hidden in the woman's old face. He nodded and smiled gently, "Okay, I'll board the Noah's Ark as soon as the second batch of tickets go on sale."
Su Guizhi was barely relieved.
However, the reality is worse than humans expected.
Just thirty days later, while the second batch of Noah's Ark was still being built at a rapid pace, terrible storms and floods struck again.
Although the government had issued an early warning and evacuated people from the danger zone, the intensity and scope of the tsunami far exceeded the equipment's predictions.
This horrific disaster caused the country's land area to shrink to 1/20 of its former size, and its population plummeted again. More than two million people died, millions were injured, and nearly 900,000 were missing.
During that time, white sails and crying were everywhere, and sadness enveloped the entire country.
However, after receiving the government's disaster warning, He Junxia immediately boarded the Noah's Ark, which was ranked 12th in the first batch, to reunite with his family.
Miao Yueze and Wei Mingjie were at the shipyard and boarded the second batch of Noah's Ark that had been built when the tsunami hit, so they luckily escaped the disaster.
This time, the disaster sounded a wake-up call to everyone: underestimating the power of nature will only push oneself into despair.
Those who failed to board the first group of Noah's Ark began to panic, and the state machine operated even more frantically.
Finally, 15 days after the tsunami ended, the second batch of Noah's Ark tickets were officially sold. Pregnant women and children had priority purchasing rights, and the tickets were 50% off.
The boat tickets sold out even faster than the first batch, and were sold out in less than two hours.
However, the second batch of Noah's Ark still cannot accommodate all the residents, and a large number of people still have to stay on the country's remaining land.
Panic gradually spread, and evil began to breed...
Those who felt hopeless about the future no longer cared about the laws of the human world, committing all sorts of crimes, including murder, looting, and arson. Some even used the name of a cult to maliciously cause trouble, and even police stations were attacked several times.
For a time, people were in panic.
Fortunately, the government responded very promptly. Those who should be punished were punished, and those who should be killed were killed. Anyone involved in the eight major crimes was sentenced to death.
This quick, accurate, ruthless and merciless attitude severely frightened a large number of people, and the various evil cult forces that were previously causing trouble also retreated into hiding and dared not show up again.
But everyone knows that this apparent stability is extremely fragile, like a crumbling Leaning Tower of Pisa.
A tough attitude can only solve simple problems. Only by slowly pumping out the soil at the bottom of the north side of the Leaning Tower and using various foundation stabilization technologies can the Leaning Tower stand firm.
The government has obviously thought of this.
They released the news that the third batch of Noah's Ark was under construction and said that people with no criminal records would be given priority to board the ship.
At the same time, the government also launched another project: building small boats
Although this type of small ship is certainly not as risk-resistant as Noah's Ark, and can accommodate fewer people than Noah's Ark.
However, the government also stated that it would allow Noah's Ark to sail near small boats to enhance their ability to withstand risks. Furthermore, if a large tsunami storm were to occur, the Noah's Ark near the small boat would immediately pick up the people on board and send them back after the storm passed.
The speed of building the boats far exceeded that of the third batch of Noah's Ark, which was still far away. Faced with the government's forced choice between the two, choosing the boats or Noah's Ark was a question worth pondering for all those who stayed.
Most people with criminal records chose the small boat without hesitation.
After all, there are no restrictions on small boats, and the third batch of Noah's Ark will first accept people with no criminal records, children and pregnant women.
Although these people are still somewhat dissatisfied with the country's policies, at least they have a way to survive and will not become desperate and endanger society.
Everything is proceeding in a busy and orderly manner.
God finally favored mankind. It was not until the third batch of Noah's Ark was officially built that the barrier separating the two worlds was finally broken.
A huge amount of flood water from another world flowed into the vast ocean. In the blink of an eye, the sea level rose rapidly by hundreds of meters.
The only remaining skyscrapers of mankind also collapsed completely in the flood. Huge blocks of stone and cement smashed into the water, but the noise they made was far less than the waves splashed by the surging sea surface.
This is the power of nature.
The people in Noah's Ark stared at this scene in amazement, their hearts filled with nothing but relief.
But after a brief moment of relief, a deep sense of confusion came over me.
The land is gone, and the roots are gone.
Where should they go?
Su Guizhi looked at her granddaughter's big watery eyes and felt a little sad and bitter.
Will children in the future only be able to see the land in the classroom and in videos?
"Don't worry, Mom."
He Junxia smiled and said, "Every century has its own opportunities. Although Xiao Chunsheng won't be able to see many land animals, she will be able to see the more brilliant and glorious ocean world."
Su Guizhi felt much better immediately. Her youngest son was right. There is gain and loss.
Many diseases that were once declared to have a life expectancy of less than six months, such as various malignant tumors, are no longer incurable. Even blind patients may have the possibility of seeing the light of day again.
As long as you are alive, there is hope.
*
The fusion of the two worlds cannot be completed overnight. Almost every three months, a huge storm and tsunami will arise from the calm sea.
But these have little to do with ordinary people living in Noah's Ark.
Noah's Ark, built with various new materials from fish, is indestructible and can protect everyone steadily every time.
It's okay for people living on small boats.
The so-called small is only relative to Noah's Ark. In reality, the ships are not small. Each one can accommodate more than 20,000 to 30,000 people.
These boats usually sail near Noah's Ark. When they detect that a storm or tsunami is about to occur, Noah's Ark, to which the small boat belongs, will open the channel to accept the people on board as promised.
The boats are treated using a special method in which a layer of mucus secreted by a giant jellyfish is coated all over the boat.
This mucus will wrap the boat tightly and react with the nearby seawater, allowing the boat to float firmly on the water without shaking violently.
Several Noah's Arks then sandwiched the small boat in the middle to prevent the boat from being irreversibly damaged by the storm.
One year, two years, three years...
Time flies, and the little baby who looked at people with big watery eyes has become the most naughty child in cabin 100-200 in area 6.
He Junxia looked at the face in the mirror with cat whiskers painted on it and the word "王" on its forehead, and couldn't help wiping her face.
fraud
It must be a scam
Where is the quiet little angel you promised me?
How could he become a naughty monkey that is annoying to everyone and hates everyone, and likes to jump around?
"Miao Weiyan, come out here."
The little girl hiding behind the curtain stuck out her tongue and moved her body in small steps, once again reducing her presence.
He Junxia looked at the swaying curtains, with the corners of her mouth slightly raised.
He deliberately increased the weight of his steps and walked step by step to the curtain. Out of the corner of his eye, he saw the little girl quietly tiptoeing.
"Is there someone hiding behind the curtains?"
"No, no."
The little girl answered crisply.
The young man's eyes were full of smiles: "There is no one here, so the uncle can only eat the dumplings alone, and Chun can't eat any."
"No, no, I want to eat too."
The curtains were suddenly pulled open, and the little girl threw herself into He Junxia's arms: "Uncle Daxing, the best Uncle Daxing in the world, I want to eat xiaolongbao."
"I'm not Uncle Daxing, I'm a tiger. If a tiger wants to eat a child, I'll eat you in one bite."
"Bobo"
Chunsheng leaned his face on the young man's shoulder: "Uncle Daxing, I love you the most. Take me to eat dumplings. I want to eat meat."
He Junxia picked her up and said, "Okay, I'm going to make Chunsheng into steamed dumplings and eat him, woooo."
"Waaaaah, grandma, help me, there's a big tiger trying to eat me."
Su Guizhi and Zhuang Daiyu, who were picking shrimp threads in the kitchen, completely ignored her cries for help.
Even if her uncle Daxing was eaten by a tiger, she would never let her be eaten by a tiger.
However, happy times are always short-lived, and the day of parting finally arrived.
He Junxia took out two passbooks and handed them to Su Guizhi: "Mom, this is for you, and this is for Chunsheng. No one can touch the share for Chunsheng. Give it to her when she turns 25."
By then the little girl will have grown into a mature lady and will know how to make good use of the money.
Su Guizhi seemed to sense something, and her eyes instantly turned red: "Are you leaving?"
"Um."
He Junxia hugged her for the last time: "Mom, rebirth is God's mercy. I'm already very happy to be able to live a few more years."
"I want to take advantage of the last few days to go out to the sea and see a different world."
Su Guizhi closed her eyes and refused to face it.
He Junxia wiped away the tears from her eyes: "Today, our family will have a good reunion dinner."
After dinner, the young man was still smiling as he picked up his almost five-year-old niece for the last time.
"Goodbye, Xiaochunsheng."
"Why do we have to say goodbye, Uncle Daxing? Wherever you are going, I want to go too."
