Chapter 71 Second uncle’s family is his relative.
"Upgrade the entire building? How else can this building be upgraded?"
"I don't know either. I got a reminder when I got here," Bai Miao said, looking at the upgrade reminder on the panel. "Maybe after the whole building is upgraded, there will be electricity?"
"Possibly." Bai Xi guessed and nodded. Bai Miao had read many books about this dimension over the years, but he still didn't know much about the origin of the shells. He only guessed from the descriptions in some books that the shells might have come from a higher dimension.
As for the function of the upgrade card, they also speculated based on the use of the upgrade card in recent years.
Anyway, every time an upgrade card is used, the item being used will undergo further changes.
However, they have accumulated a lot of upgrade cards over the years, and all the supplies for this building have been handed over, so it is understandable that they are used for this.
“How many sheets will it take?”
"One is enough." Bai Miao took out an upgrade card and put it on the ground to try it out.
[Upgrade] "Upgrade."
After the use was confirmed, the whole building shook slightly, and then quickly returned to calm.
Bai Miao and Bai Xi quickly walked to the window and saw many people standing downstairs, but there was no wind outside. They soon realized something was wrong and went back into the house.
At the same time, the two turned on the surveillance on the panel.
The people who just came in from outside the building were talking.
"Not the wind?"
"It can't be the wind. This building has never been disturbed by strong winds since people moved in. There's no way this could happen today."
"Yes, and there's no wind outside. How could this building be blown by the wind?"
"If it's not the wind, then what's the cause? Ever since this building was filled with people, there haven't been any unusual incidents. This time... wait, have you submitted the materials for the building upgrade?"
"Submitted. When I submitted, the progress bar had reached 98%."
“It was already 100% when I submitted it, but there were no abnormalities after submitting it.”
"What's that sound?"
"The elevator, it's the elevator that's lighting up!"
"The lights in the room are on now. After the building was upgraded, the entire building has power!"
"Is that all that has changed?"
…
"Is this the only change?"
"Not only that, the scope of upgrades has been greatly expanded, and they can submit the houses they want to upgrade according to their needs, which can accommodate more people. If there is enough space, their lives will definitely be much better than now."
"That's good. This way, the people in this plane will have a much better life in the future."
"Of course."
While the two were talking, the tenants also learned this important information from the prompts on the rental panel, and soon some people took action and began looking for people to cooperate.
Ever since the sudden appearance of the evil wind, many people in this world have had to move their living environment from the ground to underground. Although many people live in this building, only those who are invited can come, and each room can only accommodate a limited number of people, which is far smaller than the underground space.
If they can choose to upgrade their houses according to their needs, they can use the original base as the upgrade point. After the upgrade is successful, there will be water and electricity, which can accommodate more people while providing relatively complete conditions.
With this idea in mind, these people quickly took action.
Not long after, Bai Miao and Bai Xi received a large amount of supplies for their upgrade request.
Fortunately, Bai Miao has plenty of upgrade cards, and he will accept any upgrade request.
After some large bases were successfully upgraded, the entire city began to operate, and the people who had lived underground for years without seeing the sun were transferred to the new bases.
Although the living conditions in the new base are limited, they are much better than before.
At this point, many people in this dimension have returned to living relatively normal lives.
They still don't know who the owners of these upgraded houses are, but as long as they can live a life where they can see the sun, they are willing to do so even if they have to pay supplies as rent every month.
The plane here was gradually changing, and on the other side, Bai Yu finally arrived at the destination where Bai He and the others might have appeared before after a long sea voyage.
In addition to looking for Bai He this time, the fleet she brought also had a large amount of supplies on board, which could be traded with the countries here. This way, even if she couldn't find anyone, she could bring back some other things, so the trip wouldn't be in vain.
But if she had a choice, she would rather find someone here.
So after stopping the boat, she immediately sent people to carry the portraits of Bai He and her second uncle and ask along the way.
…
Bai He and others that Bai Yu wanted to find were actually nearby, but because they were unfamiliar with the place, they did not dare to show off too much.
Fortunately, as their lives stabilized, they found that the people around them were easy to get along with, so they slowly started looking for jobs, interacting with people nearby, and revealing their true selves.
However, the one who interacted with the most people when going out was Uncle Bai.
So when Bai Erbo went out, he soon met a kind person nearby who took him aside and told him that someone was looking for them.
"Looking for us? Why would someone come looking for us?"
"Those people are holding portraits. I think the person in one of them looks like you, but I'm not sure. They have several other portraits. Aren't you a drifter here? You can go and take a look."
"Impossible," Uncle Bai shook his head subconsciously in denial, "It's impossible for our family to come here."
After all, when they were drifting on the sea, they encountered a storm. After they finally survived, they completely lost their way. They happened to meet a passing cargo ship and drifted along with it.
Over the years, they have roughly understood their location. Apart from anything else, just looking at the eating habits and temperature conditions in the four seasons that are completely different from those in their hometown, they know that this place must be far away from their hometown.
At such a long distance, the chances of relatives coming to find you are very slim.
What's more, they were all forced to go out to sea, and no one knew anything about the ocean. It was difficult for them to survive, let alone form a team to find people.
Despite his thoughts, Uncle Bai Er still held some hope in his heart.
After hurriedly returning home, he put down the things in his hands and quickly said, "I heard that someone is looking for someone outside now. People nearby said that one of the portraits looks like me. I have to go and take a look. You guys should be careful at home. What if... it's the people who made us go out to sea in the first place? Don't go out."
"How can they still find it?"
"Not necessarily. Maybe it's someone else," Bai Erbo said uncertainly. "If Big Brother and his crew stumble upon a kind-hearted fleet, perhaps they can convince them to come looking for us."
"That would be great," said the aunt eagerly. "If we can find them, we can go look for Xiaoyu and the others. I'm not too worried about the others. Although none of us are familiar with the sea, fortunately we originally lived on the water and can barely make a living out there. But Xiaoyu and the others, three girls, aren't very familiar with the water either, so the chances of them encountering danger are greater."
Uncle Bai nodded.
Worried about who was looking for him, he quickly went out again, but he was also afraid that it was his enemy, so he didn't dare to be too conspicuous. He could only wear a hat and hide carefully to watch.
Soon, he saw the person holding the portrait and asking questions.
Following the curious crowd, he soon saw the person in the portrait.
It is a portrait of Bai He.
Uncle Bai Er looked at the person in the portrait in surprise, then looked at the person asking the question, thinking that if it was an enemy coming to look for them, it would have taken a lot of effort to draw this portrait alone, and the person who brought them out didn't seem to have seen their appearance clearly.
But he still didn't dare to be careless and tried to ask: "If we see someone who looks like this, how should we tell you?"
The person being questioned quickly replied, "We're staying in a hotel not far from here. You can see it when you get there. We've booked the entire hotel. There's a flag outside with the exact same words on it."
Uncle Bai Er looked at the handkerchief the man took out from his arms and was shocked by the word "Bai" on the handkerchief.
He clearly remembered that the people who had asked them to go out to sea did not know their surnames. In this way, it would be impossible to find them under the name of the "white" flag.
So this "Bai" is definitely not an enemy, but his relative.
Thinking of this, he immediately took off his hat and asked in his hometown language: "Who is looking for someone?"
The person who was walking suddenly stopped and replied in a not very fluent way: "You are...?"
"It's him." The person next to him took out another portrait, which showed the appearance of Uncle Bai Er.
Bai Yu received the news and rushed over. At a glance, he saw his second uncle and second aunt standing side by side.
“Xiaoyu——!”
"It's me, I'm here to find you," Bai Yu ran up to the two of them and hugged them. "It's really you. I thought I'd get nothing this time."
"How are you? I've been most worried about you these past few years." Second Aunt took her hand and looked at her carefully. "You've grown taller and fatter, and you look quite energetic."
"Very well, we are all doing well. We have not only lived well these years, but also established a fleet to do business. It was during this process that we got the news about you, and we have been looking for you." Bai Yu let her second aunt pull her to take a closer look, a smile on her face. "Where is Bai He? Is she okay?"
"Well, she's working for someone else to earn money, so it's pretty stable. Someone's already called her," Second Aunt said with a smile. "Our neighbors are all very nice, and life has settled down over the past two years."
"That's good." Bai Yu breathed a sigh of relief. As long as he could settle down, it meant that his life was not bad.
Soon, Bai He was called back. The moment she saw Bai Yu, she immediately rushed up to her and hugged her and cried.
When they were still in the inland, Bai He had the best relationship with the three sisters. After they separated, Bai He was most worried about the situation of Bai Yu and the other two. Now, looking at Bai Yu standing in front of her, it was like going back to the past, and her heart was filled with indescribable happiness.
