The violent storms and torrential rains descended upon the world like an apocalypse, submerging not only the first-tier city of Shanghai, but also turning many small countries into underwater ruins.
Junjue, along with Shangguan Wan'er and two local dogs, scavenged for anything usable in the un-flooded area before finally arriving at the official shelter in Shanghai three days later.
However, when the two of them arrived at the shelter hand in hand with their two stray dogs, they were shocked by the filthy and chaotic scene inside.
As I walked toward the hall where the territories were being distributed, I was met with a filthy and chaotic environment, filled with the sour smell of ginseng, and the survivors were arguing and screaming over territory.
This place is several times more terrifying than the Gliding Ridge Shelter in the capital. Perhaps because there are too many survivors, it is not only bustling with noise, but also filled with constant arguments.
The two men frowned, because the environment here was truly appalling.
Nevertheless, this is the highest point in Shanghai, and they have no choice but to take refuge here.
However, he has countless movable self-built houses in his space. After a week, there will be three months of torrential rain. When the rain stops, he can just take out a tin house and renovate it. But his girlfriend wants to live in a secluded place and not be crammed with those people for so long.
The shelter was filled with a cacophony of noises as survivors fought for every inch of territory, their cacophony of screams echoing throughout the space.
“Lord, this place is even more terrifying than the shelter you and the four captains built.”
"Wan'er, as long as you're by my side, I don't care where I am. If you ever want to leave, I'll take you with me without hesitation." Junjue frowned and glanced around; things were truly at their worst.
"Great! I think that family should know that the supplies have disappeared."
They have nothing now and it's not safe outside, so they probably came here to take refuge.
"I want to see how they're doing here. If they're too comfortable, I'll be very unhappy," Shangguan Wan'er said with a wicked smile.
He stroked Wan'er's soft hair and said with a smile, "Wan'er, don't worry. The natural disaster has only lasted a few months. Without the support of those supplies, that family will only get worse and worse, not better and better."
"Since we're here anyway, if they're having too much of a time, your boyfriend wouldn't mind making things difficult for them."
"Okay! Let's find a place to stay first! We don't know when this torrential rain will end."
"Wan'er, the rain will stop in a week at most. About a week after the rain stops, the global tsunami will arrive."
"This place is situated on high ground, with three mountains over 6,000 meters high. The tsunami shouldn't be able to submerge this place." After saying this, Junjue thought of how this place was a well-known base in the apocalypse in his previous life, so the tsunami wouldn't flood it.
"It would be best if it didn't flood, otherwise we'd have nowhere to go in Shanghai."
We're going to find a secluded place, somewhere we can avoid being crammed together with too many people.
Hearing his girlfriend's words, Junjue and Shangguan Wan'er looked at the chaos around them. Not wanting to get involved, they could only stand by and watch. They had no choice but to walk through the crowd of people fighting for territory.
Junjue carefully protected Wan'er, walking around the people lying on the ground to avoid accidentally stepping on them.
Despite the pungent, sour smell filling the air in the shelter, Junjue and Shangguan Wan'er still tried their best to keep their breathing steady.
Their brows were furrowed, and their eyes revealed helplessness and worry.
Junjue held Shangguan Wan'er's hand tightly; their palms were damp, reflecting the heavy and somber mood they shared.
Junjue said in a low voice, "Wan'er, we have no choice but to take refuge here for the time being. Let's hold out for a week, and then I'll take you to another place to stay." His voice was weak but firm, as if it had given the two of them strength.
Shangguan Wan'er nodded gently, her eyes revealing trust and reliance. "Junjue, no matter what difficulties we encounter, we must support each other and get through them together." Her voice was soft and warm, like a gentle stream warming hearts on a cold night.
The two huddled together, Wan'er's body slightly damp and trembling, both from the cold environment and from her inner unease.
They knew that this shelter was only temporary, and that many unknowns and challenges awaited them on the road ahead.
But it was because of each other's companionship that they had the courage to move forward.
The Duke looked around and couldn't help but sigh. They saw the once magnificent buildings in the distance submerged in the raging flood, leaving only ruins.
In the distant sky, flickering lights twinkle like scattered hopes.
The Duke's eyes hardened; he was determined to rebuild everything and use his own strength to protect his lover and the city.
Shangguan Wan'er gently grasped Junjue's hand, her gaze fixed on his eyes. "Junjue, we must believe that even in the darkest of times, there will be a glimmer of light." Her voice gradually became firm, as if carrying a touch of heavenly music, giving Junjue a sense of warmth and strength.
"Yes! Wan'er is my ray of hope. As long as you are willing, I will try my best to give you a bright future."
In this perilous environment, Junjue and Shangguan Wan'er decided to persevere.
They knew that only by supporting each other could they survive this apocalyptic disaster.
They will use their own strength to bring new hope to this land ravaged by storms. Despite the numerous difficulties, they believe that love and courage will be their support as they move forward.
No matter how many difficulties and setbacks they encounter, Junjue and Shangguan Wan'er will hold each other's hands without hesitation and walk through this difficult journey together.
They believe that after this disaster, they will be able to see a better future.
"Okay! I believe you!"
The two searched carefully for a long time before finally finding a small room.
Although this place is crowded with dozens of people, it's still much better than being in the lobby.
Despite saying that, when they entered the room, they found it filthy and filled with a pungent, sour smell. Because of its small size, it was only slightly better than the living room, which still made the two couples frown.
As Junjue looked around at the dilapidated furniture and messy clutter, his mood grew increasingly heavy.
The environment here is terrible. Not only is there no water like at the Gliding Ridge Refuge in the capital, but there aren't even many toilets. Because of the strong winds and heavy rain, people who urgently need to relieve themselves just have to do it in a hurry nearby.
Although the small house was still dirty and messy, mixed with all sorts of sour smells, it was much better than the main hall. At least there weren't as many people and it wasn't as noisy.
