After returning to his study, Lu Yuan took out his dimensional crystal.
There was a small knife on the table, and Lu Yuan cut a gash in his palm.
He now has dozens of wounds on his palms, some of which haven't fully healed before Lu Yuan cuts them open again.
The intense, piercing pain made Lu Yuan grit his teeth, and large beads of sweat kept pouring from his forehead.
Lu Yuan desperately endured the pain and dripped his blood into a white porcelain plate.
At the center of the porcelain plate was the dimensional crystal, now a dazzling red, illuminated by the blood.
After a long while, the blood stopped flowing from Lu Yuan's wound.
As he watched the blood being absorbed little by little by the dimensional crystal, Lu Yuan simply assumed that the dimensional space of the dimensional crystal would reopen.
Then, after all the blood in the porcelain plate had been absorbed,
Xiao Shan went to the side, picked up the dagger, and made a cut in the same spot on her palm.
If their family members saw them doing this, they would definitely try their best to stop them.
Fortunately, neither of them said anything, and they always carefully held their hands together to prevent their family from seeing the wounds.
After absorbing the blood, the dimensional crystal became much brighter than before.
Lu Yuan and Xiao Shan both tried desperately to get their consciousness into that dark area.
However, whenever they came into contact with this dark area, they felt a powerful energy pushing their consciousness outward.
Lu Yuan didn't know why this was happening, and he couldn't understand what was wrong with the dimensional crystal.
"Sigh, it still doesn't work!"
Lu Yuan sighed softly and held the dimensional crystal in his palm.
The dimensional crystal's surface glowed almost exactly the same as before, but it remained completely still, and the cloud-like area in the mind was still the same size.
The only change is that the surface luster of the dimensional crystal has become more translucent.
Nothing happened that night, and the next morning...
Lu Yuan continued to go outside to observe the situation; the water level had completely submerged their house.
Through the murky water, you can see a lot of debris and pebbles floating around.
A huge whirlpool would occasionally form a column of water in the water, sucking everything in the vicinity in.
After reading all this, Lu Yuan felt even heavier.
So, out of boredom, he went to find the old man again. After playing a few games of chess, the old man looked at Lu Yuan with a displeased expression.
"You keep getting distracted; this isn't a good time to play chess. Is something wrong?"
"Sigh! It's still about these torrential rains. The rain has already flooded our house! I'm worried that if this continues, the concrete inside might be destroyed by the whirlpools!"
The master sighed helplessly upon hearing this.
"Sigh, who can argue with that? When will this damn disaster end? Is it really that hard to have a peaceful life?"
The old man put away the chessboard, then stood up and silently looked outside.
But the thought of going out would consume his oxygen again made him silently sit back down.
Several more days have passed, and the water level has risen to an unknown height.
Anyway, Lu Yuan always felt that when he looked at the water surface through that glass, he could hardly see what was in the water.
Every now and then, the bottoms of ships would pass by, and he felt that this was the last hope for survival for the people in the fortress.
And at this moment, it is inside the core fortress.
Chen Zhongzheng looked at Wang Mingming with a serious expression.
How many people know about this?
"I'm not entirely sure either, but the soldiers on duty outside already know!"
"Damn it, did you tell them this can't get out? If it gets out, the whole fortress will be in chaos!"
Wang Mingming immediately nodded and said.
"No, I've already told them that this matter cannot be publicized or told to anyone, not even their own family members!"
Chen Zhongzheng nodded slightly.
"In that case, let's get started on the preparations right away!"
The fortress can't hold on any longer; there are just too many leaks!
Every day we have to invest a lot of manpower and resources to deal with these water outlets, but the blockages are only getting worse. We must leave this fortress as soon as possible!
"Uncle Chen, do you mean we should start building our own ark? But building an ark would require a huge commotion!"
Chen Zhongzheng nodded slightly, got up and walked around the room twice before finally having an idea in his mind.
He went to his desk, gathered his thoughts, and then spoke softly.
"In that case, you should immediately get to work on this matter and relocate all the people from the buildings near the factory."
"Gather as many people as possible into the building and tell them that the building will have air conditioning for ten hours a day and unlimited oxygen. I don't believe they won't be tempted!"
Upon hearing this, a hint of joy flashed across Wang Mingming's face.
"Okay, Uncle Chen, I'll take some men and get it done right now!"
"Yes, and also, the shipyard matter can't be delayed. We need to clear all those people into the building as soon as possible."
The construction of the Ark must not be disturbed, and we can only sacrifice a portion of our people!
Remember, this matter cannot be discussed publicly yet!
If this gets overheard, it will severely impact our next steps!
Wang Mingming nodded firmly, then left with the orders.
Then the mobilization of personnel throughout the fortress began.
A look of despair crossed Chen Zhongzheng's face.
He picked up his phone and checked the time; it was already May 2032.
This superstorm has lasted for three months.
If this continues, they probably won't be able to hold out in this fortress for much longer.
His desk is now covered with various locations where the fortress is leaking.
Moreover, even if they invest a great deal of manpower and resources to repair these loopholes, it will basically be to no avail.
The water level inside the fortress is now about one meter high.
The journey back and forth is mostly done by motorboat.
Instead of wasting manpower and resources to patch up the loopholes, it would be better to make plans as early as possible and build a shipyard to deal with the troubles to come.
