Upon seeing the cracks in the ground, the group gasped in shock.
Some of the cracks were unfathomably deep, and one wrong step could send you tumbling down. Behind them lay the enormous crack from which they had just emerged.
Within it is a huge oval, which is our family circle.
Mr. Wei: "It's like God isn't giving us a way to survive!"
Bai Jiu: "Maybe that huge crack was created by the pressure of an ellipsoid."
Mr. Liu: "That's possible."
Due to the earthquake, the earth's crust tore open with many cracks, and the structure became loose. Under the force of the huge elliptical weight, one crack continued to expand, resulting in the current situation.
Bai Shuang and the others took out their phones and took photos.
Everyone else looked at Bai Shuang, wondering what to do next.
"We need to find temporary settlements with stable geology, and most importantly, they need to be close to a water source, otherwise, all these people will die of thirst."
The others nodded, but as far as the eye could see, there was no water. The seawater had seeped out due to the cracks.
Lu Yu: "In this situation, there won't be a suitable place within a few miles."
And in the distance, the ground is so hot and unsafe to drive on; how long would it take us to walk there?
The others also frowned and nodded.
Bai Shuang looked at everyone and said, "I suggest we go by plane."
Mr. Ling: "But with this kind of ground, it might be difficult to find a landing site."
Bai Shuang: "Use my plane. It has a parachute system and can land without weight."
The two geologists said, "Thank you very much, Mr. Bai."
The group returned via the Heavenly Ladder. The workers below, who were building the second Heavenly Ladder, were surprised, and the person in charge ran over.
"What happened?"
Mr. Ling: "There's no suitable place nearby, so we'll go back and apply for a plane."
The man also looked suspicious.
Grandpa Lu and the others were having a meeting when Bai Shuang and Lu Yu went in, explained the situation, and displayed the photos they had just taken on the screen in the conference room lobby.
Commander Wang: "If that doesn't work, send Yuwen's family."
Bai Shuang: "Grandpa, since Commander Wang speaks so highly of the Yuwen family, let them go. Let's go home and rest."
"No! This concerns the lives of hundreds of thousands of people; how can we treat it lightly?"
Grandpa Lu said seriously.
Bai Shuang: "But Commander Wang doesn't trust us. If we don't let the Yuwen family go, he will be resentful, and we will also be left with nothing to show for it."
Everyone looked at Commander Wang; in this critical moment, this man was really meddling.
Bai Shuang: "How about this, we split into two groups and each go find their own."
If opinions differ, then Commander Wang will live with the Yuwen family, and the others can live wherever they wish.
Old Lu: "No, the base cannot be divided."
"What if Commander Wang wants to withdraw from the base?"
"He can leave the base, but only on his own behalf."
Commander Wang gritted his teeth and shouted, "Who said I was going to leave the base?"
Lu Yu wanted to laugh, but reached out to protect Bai Shuang, "If Commander Wang doesn't want to leave the base, fine, but don't scare my wife."
Commander Wang, ...Your wife is so fierce, how could I scare her?
Although Bai Shuang was not afraid of Commander Wang, she still felt good being protected.
Alright, enough with the chit-chat. It's getting late, and we have important business to attend to.
Lu Yu: "Everyone has seen the situation outside. If we rely solely on our two legs, we won't be able to find a suitable place even in ten days."
Old Lu: "What do you mean?"
"We can't drive cars, we can only fly airplanes."
"Can planes land on that kind of land?"
Old Lu asked the same question that Ling Liyuan had just asked.
"Shuangshuang's private jet is fine."
"Approved. The fuel will be supplied from the base, and the aircraft will be replenished with 10,000 credits per day."
Old Lu then turned to Commander Wang and said, "Didn't you say the Yuwen family is very capable? If they're willing to go, that's fine too. We'll split into two groups."
They could use the same treatment as their salary if they had a zero-gravity landing aircraft.
Commander Wang: "I heard that Li Wenyuan has another plane like this."
Bai Shuang: "My master's plane is not for rent."
After saying that, Bai Shuang and the others left, as they still had time to get things done.
After the group boarded the plane, Bai Shuang asked them, "Should we find the nearest water source first?"
The person behind nodded, "Yes, we can't do without water."
Bai Jiu piloted the plane, while Bai Shuang, holding a compass, sat in the co-pilot's seat, guiding the direction.
The plane flew back and forth in the air. Bai Shuang repeatedly tested the compass and even saw the Yuwen family's group walking below.
I also saw that in the distance, on the seabed, there were lakes formed by the land.
But that place was too far from the base, and the terrain was too low and extremely uneven.
Finally, it was decided that the landing site would be about 100 miles away from the base.
"Find a place to land, preferably in the shade, it's very hot outside."
Although the plane landed on the shady side of a high slope, a wave of heat still hit us the moment we opened the cabin door.
Mr. Wei: "Thanks to Boss Bai, how long would it have taken us to find this on foot?"
Bai Shuang: "This is the closest place to us with water."
Bai Jiu: "Miss, where is the water?"
"Water doesn't necessarily have to be on the surface, but you can dig a well to get it."
The two geologists took out their instruments and inserted them downwards.
Mr. Wei said, "The underground water source is not deep, but this place was originally the seabed, and the terrain is relatively low. If the water rises, it is easy to be flooded."
Bai Shuang: "You're right, but where would we get water from up here?"
Mr. Liu: "Ms. Bai is right, we have to consider the present."
