This disaster has already caused a huge population crisis; the number of people who have survived on Earth is probably less than 100 million!
"Sigh, yes, I never expected this disaster to last so long, it's already the sixth year! I wonder how much longer it will continue!"
I hope we can live to see the day when Earth returns to normal! At the very least, I hope my daughter can grow up and live a safe life!
After the two chatted for a while longer, Lu Yuan asked softly, "Now that you're living in this place, do you have any other wishes?"
Upon hearing Lu Yuan's words, Xiao Shan was stunned for a moment, then turned to look at him.
"Hmm, what do you mean by that? Actually, living here is quite nice. After all, among the camps outside, our houses are the most sturdy and best!"
Lu Yuan shook his head: "Yeah, I've never felt a sense of belonging living here. I want to take you and our family to our old house. We haven't been back for a long time. The old house isn't far from here, so why don't we go back and take a look?"
Xiao Shan immediately became interested upon hearing this. The house they had built was meticulously constructed by Lu Yuan to withstand disasters, but they left that place in order to protect themselves from floods in the second year after the apocalypse.
Thinking back now, I wonder what happened to that place. The house that was built back then was of a very high standard.
"Okay, when are we going?"
"Haha, in that case, let's not delay and head over now!"
Xiao Shan immediately nodded in agreement.
So the two went back to their room, changed their clothes, and secretly slipped into the crowd.
Although there were still quite a few people outside holding signs asking Lu Yuan to return, the number had decreased significantly compared to the previous two days.
Having found a secluded spot, Lu Yuan led Xiao Shan and secretly sneaked inside.
The two of them, like thieves, moved cautiously through the crowd with expressions of excitement and trepidation on their faces.
They kept their heads down and had changed into hoodies. The lighting around them wasn't very good either, so they quickly left the crowd.
After leaving the crowd, Lu Yuan unfolded the map, shone a flashlight on it to confirm his location, and then immediately knew the direction to his right front.
"We'll reach their old house in less than five kilometers. Let's go take a look. I've been in Qingshui City for so long and haven't been there yet. I'll go check it out again and see how it is!"
Xiao Shan's face flushed red with excitement. She nervously clung to Lu Yuan's arm, saying, "Yes, I never expected that coming out with you would be so thrilling, it's like being a thief!"
"Haha, let's go take a look! But be careful on the way, there are just too many people looking for me! It wouldn't be good if we got caught!"
Upon hearing Lu Yuan's words, Xiao Shan immediately looked around and found that there were far fewer people than before.
Moreover, the few scattered tents nearby were clearly recently moved here. Since the relocation was not very long ago, there are still quite a few people packing up their belongings in this area.
"Let's go, keep moving forward!"
Xiao Shan nodded immediately and followed Lu Yuan, speeding off in the distance.
Soon, Lu Yuan and his companion arrived at a wasteland where there were not many inhabited places.
Their location here is at the junction between their own camp and Luo Xuan's camp.
There aren't many people living at this handover point, and there aren't any warning lines in between. Interactions between the two sides are basically based on their own initiative.
Through the dim light, Lu Yuan could clearly see that in the distance, both Luo Xuan's camp and his own camp, a fortress resembling a tortoise shell was being continuously built.
These fortresses are primarily used to withstand this superstorm, which is rated as level 20 or higher, based on joint research and calculations by meteorologists and architects.
This arched structure is better able to withstand this superstorm.
Looking at the rows of buildings that suddenly appeared, Lu Yuan couldn't help but sigh softly.
He knew that the arched structures were designed to withstand superstorms, and that there were deep drainage ditches and underground passages below. If the superstorm lasted for a long time, they would be in trouble once their food supplies ran out. Therefore, the construction of underground passages would ensure that even if the people below ran out of their own food, they would still have a chance to get some food from others.
Looking at the busy crowd, Lu Yuan waved his hand and said to Xiao Shan, "Stop looking, we need to hurry over and find our own home as soon as possible."
"Look at that house, how's it doing? There used to be lots of trees, flowers, and a fishpond there. I wonder how it is now!"
Xiao Shan nodded and followed closely behind Lu Yuan's pace, the two of them continuing forward.
The further you go, the more desolate it becomes. The area in the suburbs is the outermost edge of the entire fortress area, and it is very difficult to find any inhabitants nearby.
After searching the vicinity, Lu Yuan and Xiao Shan finally found a huge mound of earth, but there seemed to be some light flashing within it.
Lu Yuan checked the map and then observed the surrounding area. He finally confirmed that the mound of earth was the site where he had built his house before.
