An Jingzhi didn't look very good when he came back from get off work.
The production plan of the base has been suspended in the past few days. The old man has been busy at home for several days, concentrating on making boats.
Fortunately, the house is made of special materials and has excellent sound insulation, so the neighbors next door didn't know about it. The materials were also transported using Xin Ruoyao's space, so the surrounding neighbors didn't react much.
"What's wrong? Why do you look so unhappy?"
"My superiors wanted to talk to me today. There's a real problem at the base. Now the base is divided into two factions. It's a matter of life and death. Everyone should vote..."
Although the military chief of the Peacock Mountain Base controls the army, he is no match for public opinion.
Everyone agreed to build the ark together to preserve the chance of survival for a few people, but also try to save the rest, at least to give them time to prepare and make a small boat for themselves.
When disaster strikes, you can follow the ark and win a chance of survival.
As the captain of the patrol team in District 2, An Jingzhi also received a boat ticket, which allowed him to bring two family members.
After hearing this, Xin Ruoyao frowned, feeling a little regretful: "If I had known that I would be transferred to District 3 as a team leader, I would have gone there. That way, our family could all be on board."
An Jingzhi put his arm around Xin Ruoyao's shoulders. "What's the big deal? Didn't our family build our own boat? I haven't read all those books in your space in vain over the years. I'm sure our boat will be stronger than that Ark."
Xin Ruoyao gave up being the team leader in District 3 in order to take care of her family nearby.
"Jingzhi, when the time comes, you just need to bring your father-in-law and mother-in-law on board." Xin Fenlan said proactively.
Tang Dan's face was full of disapproval: "Mother-in-law, what are you talking about?"
"Your health isn't as good as mine. You go up with Jingzhi and the others. I'll stay down there."
Old Man An said quickly, "If you want to get on the boat, it should be you two. How can I, an old man, compete with you two for a seat?"
Everyone pushed and persuaded each other, and no one was willing to take the boat ride, even though they knew that the ride represented a chance of survival.
In the end, it was An Jingzhi and Xin Ruoyao who finalized the plan to let Old Man An take the other two elderly people on board, while the two young people would stay below in their own boat.
No matter how stable the small boat made by An Jingzhi is, it is definitely not as good as a big boat.
…
After getting the boat tickets, An Jingzhi, Xin Ruoyao and their family quit their jobs and concentrated on preparing for the disaster.
Just when they thought today would be peaceful again, there was a sudden earthquake and Tang Dan fell to the ground while standing in the living room.
"Go downstairs quickly!" Xin Ruoyao made a quick decision, grabbed Tang Dan with her left hand and rushed downstairs.
An Jingzhi also set up Xin Fenlan and followed closely behind Old Man An.
They rushed out quite quickly, and since they lived in a low building, they were the first wave of residents to go downstairs.
"Water! There's a flood coming!"
"Help! Don't step on me!"
"Everyone, retreat to the open space!"
“Aa ...
The screams of the crowd and the sirens on the radio resounded through the sky.
When Xin Ruoyao and the others hid in the open space, they immediately took out a buckle that had been prepared long ago and tied the buckle around everyone's wrist to prevent them from getting separated.
It's also easy to get free, just touch the button with your other hand to undo it.
"The land is sinking." Feeling the movement from the ground, An Jingzhi's face looked grim.
This is the worst possibility, but I didn't expect him to guess it right.
"What?! Isn't it a tsunami?!" Old Man An exclaimed in shock.
Feeling the vibrations from the ground with his feet, An Jingzhi knew clearly in his heart that the last bit of luck had disappeared.
"It's not a tsunami, the land is sinking. Mom and Dad, let's go to the Ark landing port and I'll take you on board."
Pushing through the screaming crowd, An Jingzhi led the way. Although the ground was shaking, they were lucky that the ground under their feet did not crack.
The three elderly people were safely brought to the boat. Each of them had a backpack on his back, which contained various emergency supplies.
After checking their tickets, the three old men were pushed onto the boat by the crowd. They came to the deck in panic and looked at An Jingzhi and the other two waving below.
"You guys have to keep up!"
"Jingzhi, son!" Tang Dan couldn't help choking.
Xin Fenlan's eyes were filled with tears: "Ruoyao."
Although they had experienced many life-threatening natural disasters before, they had never been separated so far. This was the first time, and everyone was feeling very anxious.
"Close the door! The boat is overloaded! If more people get on board, the whole boat will sink!"
The water in the river gathered more and more, and the ark, which was originally placed there and sunk at the bottom, was now floating.
"Why won't you let us go up!" Someone tried to force his way up, but was pushed down mercilessly by the people above.
Although they have issued a notice asking everyone to build their own boats, most people are busy accumulating supplies, and so far, not even a small raft has been made.
Feeling the ground shaking again, An Jingzhi took Xin Ruoyao and the others to a temporarily deserted place and immediately released the boat.
The hull is simple, but sturdy enough and has a roof to protect against wind and rain.
As soon as they got on the boat, they found that the water level where they had just stayed had risen a little. In fact, it was not the water level that was rising, but the land that was sinking.
"The ground is collapsing!"
"Ah—this is my family's boat! Don't steal my boat!"
Those who had boats quickly rowed out their own boats, and those who didn't have boats could only steal others'.
For the group of people living in Area 1, the boat can not only accommodate people, but also a lot of supplies.
