Lu Yuan nodded silently.
"Were these children also victims of the disaster?"
Chen Ling nodded: "Yes! These children were all in the air-raid shelter with me at the time. Who knew the earthquake would be so strong? We were all buried underground. Fortunately, these children hid in a triangular plot of land, and everyone survived in the end!"
Lu Yuan's heart skipped a beat, and he casually asked, "So, have you adopted all these children now?"
Chen Ling shook her head: "No, it's not allowed to raise so many children in the urban area! Each family can only raise one child at most!"
Upon hearing this, Lu Yuan was stunned: "What? You're not allowed to have two children? So if a family has two children, does that mean they have to abandon one? What about the other one?"
A smile suddenly flashed across Chen Ling's face: "You like children so much? Don't you have children too?"
“I don’t have children yet! It’s the apocalypse now, how can I dare to have children! If I can’t give my child a good life, am I just going to let them suffer after they’re born?” Lu Yuan said his thoughts without any hesitation.
"Wow! I didn't realize you were so insightful!"
However, Lu Yuan didn't dwell on this topic for too long. He wanted to figure out the whole story as soon as possible and help Han Wen find his child. But first, he needed to confirm that Han Wen's son was still alive, otherwise it would all be for nothing.
"By the way, where have all those children gone now?"
"Don't worry! The urban area is still very humane. They will send all the children to the second phase of the fortress. The environment and conditions there are much better than in the third phase. The children can go to school and find employment there!" Chen Ling's face shone with a saintly glow.
However, Lu Yuan didn't think so at all: "How do you know that the second-phase fortress is better than the third-phase one? What family would want to see their child sent to another place! It's practically a deprivation of their own flesh and blood! And you still think it's good!"
Chen Ling wasn't angry after hearing this. She simply took the water glass from the glass, took a small sip, and continued, "This isn't deprivation, but a better way for our race to continue! Do you understand? Earth isn't very safe anymore. In order to ensure the survival of the last human race, all of humanity has begun to work on building a new Earth in outer space!"
This was the first time Lu Yuan had heard of this plan, and he couldn't help but feel a surge of emotion.
"How could we not know? How did you find out about this?"
Chen Ling smiled charmingly: "Actually, you haven't been to the metropolitan area. Everyone in the metropolitan area knows about this. Every day, a large number of probes are being launched outside in order to find a better and more suitable living environment!"
Then the other person looked at Lu Yuan and asked, "Do you know how many people are left on Earth?"
Lu Yuan shook his head and casually guessed, "I guess there are still a few hundred million people left!"
The other person shook their head: "Less than 100 million people!"
"What? Less than 100 million?" Lu Yuan was shocked. He could hardly believe that so many people had lost their lives in the disaster. It turned out that the crisis on Earth was much more difficult than he had imagined.
"That's right! So, in order to continue the family line, we can only place all our hopes for the future in the laboratory!"
After saying that, the other person seemed unwilling to dwell on the topic, since talking about painful things too much would affect their mood.
After calming down, Chen Ling pointed to the vast ocean outside the window.
"Let's talk about cooperation! Do you have any good ideas on how to deal with this water?"
Lu Yuan quickly snapped out of his thoughts and took out a box from behind him.
"This is the key to solving the flooding problem here! But then this place might become a green ocean!"
Chen Ling was slightly taken aback: "A green ocean? What do you mean?"
Lu Yuan didn't speak, but opened the box, which was filled with seeds.
What is this?
"Water spinach seeds!"
"Water spinach? You plan to use water spinach to solve the flood problem?"
"That's right! It's water spinach! But this isn't just any ordinary water spinach! It's a mutated water spinach!"
After saying that, Lu Yuan took out a few seeds and threw them into the other person's fish tank.
"Now comes the moment to witness a miracle!"
Chen Ling was slightly surprised to see that several seeds quickly took root after sinking to the bottom of the water.
Then, after about ten minutes, the seed sprouted a small bud.
"Such a fast growth rate? Where did you get this from?"
"This is a trade secret! I can't tell you right now!"
Chen Ling's eyes, however, were burning with desire as she continued to stare at the water spinach in the water.
After waiting for about half an hour, the entire underwater greenery had been taken over by water spinach.
The water that was previously full had been absorbed by several centimeters without anyone noticing.
"This...this water spinach can absorb so much water?"
"Of course! This is just the beginning! Keep watching! By the way, you'd better find a place for the fish in your tank! Otherwise, they might dry out and die!"
However, Chen Ling didn't pay much attention to the value of these fish; instead, she was more interested in these water spinach.
Before long, the water in the fish tank decreased again, while the water spinach continued to grow, its roots becoming even thicker.
