As time passed, the rain finally stopped.
But the cessation of heavy rain did not mean the end of the world. No one knew why the water level did not drop, but remained at about the same level, reaching the 17th floor.
And...the height of 17 floors means that most of the buildings in this city have been submerged under water.
Everyone became very, very anxious.
The Pearl Hotel is the best because they have a spatial connection with other worlds, so the supplies are complete and everyone doesn't have to go hungry.
It can also indirectly provide power to everyone. After all, various powerful batteries are charged from another world and then brought to this world, with couriers making the handover in the middle, so this aspect is currently very stable.
At this time, information on various social platforms in the world has become very slow, and it is impossible for most people to communicate on them.
The first is that the signal is cut off, the second is that everyone is out of power, and... most of the people are dead.
But there are still many people who can access the Internet, either because they have been reminded by time travelers and have made excellent preparations.
Either they received good protection because of their special identities, or they were the first group lucky enough to enter some buildings where they could hide. In short, no matter what, those who are able to survive now are the lucky ones, and those who can access the Internet are the well-treated people. This is absolutely certain.
But there are fewer people talking about it now. They used to be joking around, but now everyone knows that they are facing the end of the world, so the topics they talk about are becoming more and more serious.
And now basically all the people who can survive are in various small bases. It’s okay to call them bases, after all, they have been divided. If you want to go back to the previous state, that is definitely impossible. However, there are some people who survive alone and they are really amazing. These people have a combination of luck and ability, which is really extraordinary.
"The sea is very calm now. Many of us have boats, and we've pulled them over to the platform and temporarily secured them together. We can live on the platform, but the boats are ours too. I heard we'll continue to build more, but I don't know if we have the materials. Anyway, we're salvaging any metal or wood floating on the sea."
"What does this mean? Are we going to build a large, survivable base on the sea?"
"This is inevitable, because the sea level is still rising. Maybe the increase is not obvious, but if you pay close attention, you will notice that it is still rising. The rain has stopped for three days, but the water depth here is still rising. It has risen by about one foot now. If you think about one foot every three days, what about 10 days, 100 days?? So, we still have to find a large landing area that can float on the water. This is the most important thing right now."
"Being able to float on the sea is very important, and the sea is calm now, which is very strange. This kind of calm sea is usually hard to find in the area we are in now. It seems that there has been a big change now. However, there is a lot of debris on the sea surface now, and the closer to the original inland area, the more there is. So the salvage work is ongoing, and those who are still in the house can actually make plans early."
"We were originally on the cruise ship, and we all thought we wouldn't have enough supplies and would starve to death. But now it seems that things are pretty good. We have a lot of fun picking up trash on the sea. The happiest thing for everyone every day is scooping up all kinds of things. But we are out here as a family, so we haven't had any other problems so far."
"Even if it's the end of the world, being together as a family is the best. I don't know what to do at other times. Anyway, judging from the current situation, I can accept all of this. After all, we can still support each other when we're together. But if we were to separate, it would be too painful. I don't know if we'd ever have the chance to see each other again in this lifetime. The scenario I'm talking about is if everyone survives. After all, such conditions are extremely difficult and harsh."
"When the apocalypse came, I was on a business trip. There was actually one last flight back home. After all, most people in the world didn't believe it. Even the high-ranking officials who knew the apocalypse was coming didn't care about its authenticity, or they hadn't yet confirmed its authenticity, so everything became very, very awkward. Because I really can't go back now, but fortunately my family is very, very safe... I can still contact them now, but I don't know what to do if I can't contact them in the future. If this offshore platform is built smoothly, we will have the opportunity to meet each other, right? But if we can't contact each other, then it will be difficult to meet each other. I can only go from platform to platform to find them."
"Wait a minute, you just said we're looking for platforms one by one. Are there a lot of places with such platforms? More than one?"
"Of course, wherever conditions permit, platforms are being built, using various wooden planks and boats as foundations. However, offshore platforms have the best foundations because they utilize a lot of high-tech technology. Unfortunately, such platforms will never be built again. And what we build later certainly won't have the same capabilities and carrying capacity, so we can only use various boats as the foundations. I'm sure this won't be an easy task, but no matter what, this is the best solution right now."
