Chapter 47 Lou Yuncheng
For a time, the news of the collective relocation overshadowed all the disaster news in Muzhou and Xiren provinces.
Some people who had decided to move to the western plateau cities because of the doomsday prophecy video but were stranded in the hilly cities for various reasons were now furious.
The authorities have been blocking their travel to the plateau cities for so long, and it is difficult to get a pass to enter the city. They have almost emptied their savings after spending time in these cities, but now they suddenly announced such news.
Many people's first reaction was not to be happy that the relocation policy was finally opened up, but to be angry that this time the relocation policy treated the people of the entire Hua country equally, and even had so many more preferential policies.
Those who wanted to relocate earlier encountered many obstacles and suffered a lot. Now that the policy has been implemented, there will definitely be many people who had no plans to relocate who will consider moving.
After all, Muzhou Province and Xiren Province are frequently hit by hurricanes and huge waves. Instead of staying in places that have become seaside cities and are prone to natural disasters, it is better to take advantage of this relocation boom and catch up with the new preferential policies.
These people, who have always lived in their own cities and have never had to migrate, now only need to go online, move their fingers and upload some information to get a pass like them.
This is not fair to those who are stranded due to migration.
For a while, there were all kinds of voices on the Internet. Some people complained, while others said that luck is also a part of strength. Many posts turned into insults...
The situation in Louyun City was the same, but among the people stranded in the city, some were indignant and busy complaining and arguing, while others reacted quickly. They immediately logged on to the designated website and entered their information to submit their declaration.
Many people only spent half a day waiting for their electronic transportation permits and city passes, and those who had the permits in hand were ecstatic.
Most of these people have decent financial conditions and cars, so while waiting for the review, they quickly packed all their luggage, went out to refuel, went to the supermarket to buy a large amount of supplies, and then loaded the car and set off as soon as they got the documents.
While some people were still cursing the world online, these people set off early and became the first group of people in this relocation operation.
After the announcement of the opening of relocation quotas, Shu Fu's WeChat started ringing non-stop again.
Zheng Feifei was the first one to send her a message. She had been waiting for a new opportunity and looking forward to Shu Fu's visit. She didn't expect that this opportunity would come so soon.
Although Fengshang Plateau, where Xizhou Province is located, has the largest area, there are very few well-developed cities, so only seven cities are open this time. Zhicheng and Shacheng are not among them.
But it doesn't matter. Another small town about 200 kilometers away from Zhicheng is also one of the open cities. Zheng Feifei sent a message hoping that Shu Fu could move to that city first. In short, we should first reach a safe city, and then we can slowly think of a way to reunite.
Zhang Tian's family had connections, channels, and money, so they went to Shacheng early in the morning. They had previously thought about how to get Chen Fa and Wu Shaoshan over there, but Chen Fa and Wu Shaoshan each had parents and families. Although they traveled together during the evacuation, their hometowns and families were not in the same place, so they had to separate in the end.
Wu Shaoshan is currently in Xiangzhou Province, and Chen Fazha has gone to Lankou Province. These places are safer than Muzhou Province where Shu Fu is.
Therefore, she became their number one target of criticism, telling her to leave quickly and not to procrastinate. Even Lu Ce secretly sent her a message after Lu Zheng and Yao Ruoyun contacted her, asking her to go to Pincheng as soon as possible. He also said that if she went to Pincheng, he had a big secret about Lanlan that even her brother didn't know to tell her.
Shu Fu replied helplessly: Pincheng is no longer on the list of cities to move to...
Lu Ce said that he would not listen, he would not listen, he would not listen. If he could not go to Pincheng, he should go to Lucheng first. Lucheng was the nearest relocation city to Pincheng. After going to Lucheng, he could find a way to go to Pincheng.
Shu Fu: ...
Doesn’t she want to go now?
She can't go now!
Not to mention Pincheng, Lucheng and Xizhou Province, she couldn't even step out of the suburbs of Louyun City!
In the end, even Liu Shuang called her.
**
This is the fourth day after the official announcement of the opening of relocation. Liu Shuang learned about this just after completing a mission. She said that Cheng Yu is still out of contact during the mission, but if he is also online at this moment, he will also suggest that she immediately go to any plateau city to settle down.
Compared with the unreasonable attacks of others, Liu Shuang's reasons were much more normal.
She said that the authorities would not release such news and policies for no reason. Water-blocking dams can effectively withstand huge waves. If there were no other reasons, the dam plans in those cities would not have been stopped before they even started.
Even though Liu Shuang was very reluctant to admit it, she still told Shu Fu that the doomsday prophecy video that had been circulating on the Internet was very likely true.
The rainstorm will not stop, and the water level of the planet will continue to rise. No matter how solid and high the dam of Louyun City is built, as long as the flood outside reaches the limit, even if the dam can block the flood, the hills next to it cannot block it.
Once the flood discharge begins, Louyun City will also become a vast ocean.
Liu Shuang's analysis was correct. This was something Shu Fu had thought about before moving into the family building of the B&B.
Lou Yuncheng's current situation is like a small house placed on one side of the glass partition wall in the swimming pool. When there is no water in the swimming pool, the small house is safe regardless of whether there is a glass wall or not. When someone starts to release water towards the other side of the glass wall, the water-blocking effect of the glass wall becomes apparent.
But this glass wall can hold out for one day, two days...or several months, but it cannot hold out forever. Once the water level on the other side of the glass wall rises to a critical point, the water on the other side will rush over the wall and submerge the cabin in an instant.
In Shu Fu's opinion, the authorities probably really believed the doomsday prophecy video, or perhaps they really found several humans with time-travel experience, or it may be a backup action made after analyzing data from all aspects.
In short, when even the officials are shouting to run, the time has come when you have to run.
However, the conclusion of the end of the world will never be put on the table no matter when.
Because human hearts are too complicated and too difficult to grasp, what the authorities want is to solve the problem rather than just drop a bomb and plunge all the people into a state of disorderly madness.
Shu Fu guessed that Liu Shuang had guessed the reason behind this, which was why he called her so cautiously.
Under the current circumstances, Shu Fu really had no way to fool Liu Shuang. She could only tell her that she was selecting a city and would take action once she had chosen one, so that she could rest assured.
However, this excuse could not last too long, as the procedures for declaring relocation are now very quick, taking as short as half a day and as long as twenty-four hours.
After three or four days of sending a series of short messages including "selecting a city", "purchasing supplies", "considering whether to drive or take bus", "thinking about whether to take the bus or the train", Shu Fu received another call from Liu Shuang.
The other party said that he had to go out on a mission again, and this time he might be out of contact for about ten days, or even longer. She was worried about her, so she called her again and urged her to speed up the relocation.
Now that most people are moving away, the order and security situation in Louyun City will gradually decline as people move away.
"I understand, Sister Liu Shuang. You must be careful when carrying out the mission and don't be distracted by my affairs. There is no danger here, and I will push forward the relocation as soon as possible." After she responded in a serious tone, Liu Shuang hung up the phone.
Now in Louyun City, except for a few people who are unwilling to leave, most other people are caught up in the relocation craze.
Some of those who were unwilling to leave had a fanatical and blind trust in the dam, and felt that as long as the dam was there, Louyun City would be fine.
Some of them are afraid of long-distance travel due to their age, and are reluctant to leave the city and home where they have lived for most of their lives. While choosing to stay, they are also mentally prepared to face disasters in the near future.
Some of them were just rebels. They didn't believe the official statements and wanted to go against the official statements. Of course, some of them wanted to stay and fish in troubled waters after others left Louyun City.
After most people gradually begin to relocate, in addition to hospitals and banks, many supermarkets and shopping malls originally under official supervision will also be partially closed. However, it is impossible to evacuate the supplies from those closed places immediately, and it will definitely take some time to arrange and transfer.
Those people stayed behind with the intention of picking up some bargains, wanting to see if it was possible to make a fortune before moving on.
Even though she had never experienced this situation, she could imagine what the future would hold for the order in Louyun City as the number of people in the city decreased...
That night, Shu Fu lay on the cushion beside the floor-to-ceiling window of the wooden house, looking at his mobile phone and lost in thought.
She definitely can't leave.
But she couldn't give a reason for not leaving.
Shu Fu looked at the names on WeChat one by one, lingering over and over again, and finally reached out to turn off the phone and took out the SIM card.
The last time she lost contact, she was calm and composed. Even though she knew she would have to spend the future alone in Suicheng, she was still happy and relaxed about the upcoming leisurely life alone.
But this time, when she did the same thing again, she felt a lot heavier in her heart.
Humans are indeed emotional animals. Once they are bound by friendships, they will experience an emotion called guilt when faced with certain choices they have to make.
I don’t know how long this loss of contact will last.
According to her previous calculations, it would take at least five months for Louyun City to experience a flood.
I don’t know when the remaining progress bar tasks will arrive in these long 5 months.
At this time, Shu Fu did not expect that the new progress bar task would come so quickly.
Four days later, at noon on another rainy day, this time the rain had lasted for two days. The temperature outside rose because the heavy rain stopped, exceeding 25 degrees again and approaching 30 degrees.
The air was very humid and it was hot and stuffy outside.
When her bracelet vibrated, she was lying on the cushion next to the bookshelf in the Drifting Island House, choosing a TV series to watch for lunch on her tablet.
The sudden task caught people off guard.
[Within two hours, choose one of the three locations: Chu Xiufeng in Louyun City (longitude XX east, latitude XX north), Mufeng Farm (longitude XX east, latitude XX north), and Sun Garden (longitude XX east, latitude XX north) to arrive, place the raft and check in, and you will get a 15% progress bar for level 3 raft. (Current progress of level 3 raft: 85%)
Note: Failure to complete this task will deduct 100% of the progress bar. 】
Shu Fu: ? ?
**
When she received this extreme task, it was just after noon and she had launched the raft for less than ten minutes.
Because the arrival of the rain-free period is always accompanied by heavy rain, hurricanes and huge waves, Shu Fu now leaves the 12 hours of daily usage time behind during the rain-free period, so she spent the night in the B&B room last night.
After the relocation news was announced, the already deserted homestays became even less crowded. Some rescue team members who had not been dispatched to other cities also began to relocate their dormitories because their work focus shifted to the urban area, mainly from the low-altitude eastern suburbs to the high-altitude western suburbs.
Shu Fu has moved here for nearly a month and has not interacted with anyone except Han Lan. After Han Lan left, she stayed indoors most of the time. Anyway, no one on the same floor knew her. After the move began, other people were too busy with their own affairs to pay attention to her.
As the relocation progressed, Louyun City inevitably fell into a state of disorder. Supermarkets, restaurants, and other places where she used to hang out and stock up on supplies had now become places with a high rate of accidents.
So during this period of time, Shu Fu completely stayed indoors and lived a stay-at-home life again. She lay down every day, surfed the Internet to read the news, made herself some delicious food, and was happy and comfortable every day.
In this situation, the impact of the newly appeared progress bar task on her was huge, like a bolt from the blue.
She took a quick look and what surprised her most was not that she would get 15% of the progress bar after completing the task, but that 100% of the progress bar would be deducted if the task was not completed!
In other words, once you complete the mission, your raft will be upgraded to level 3 immediately. If you fail to complete the mission, you won’t even be able to keep it at level 2. After the deduction, you may even regress to level 1!
Let alone watching TV series, she didn't even have the appetite to eat. She immediately got up and started a countdown of 1 hour and 50 minutes on her mobile phone, taking into account a slight error from the vibration of the bracelet to now. Then she checked the three locations given in the task on the tablet.
Obviously, she not only had to choose one of the three locations to arrive at within the limited time, but also had to place the raft at the specified longitude and latitude to complete the task.
Time was too tight, and she didn't even have the time to figure out why this kind of task came up, and she just focused on looking up and comparing locations.
