Chapter 1: The Broken Continent

"Be careful, yes, be careful, go over a bit, ......"

"Lao Zhang! Shut up for me! If you keep arguing, I'll have an accident!"

"Okay, okay, I'll shut up...... To the right, you bastard!"

Next to a deep rift in the earth, an apparently patchwork crane truck towered over, on which a young man was carefully maneuvering the vehicle, and beside the vehicle, more than a dozen men and women were sorting out the things that the crane had lifted from the crack in the earth, whether it was metal, weapon wreckage, class creature corpses, or other materials, all sorted and transported back to the shelter by the mechanical transport force.

Half a month has passed since the cataclysm struck by the red dragon Servedi, and in this half a month, the surviving people can only accept everything in front of them, the Yaxi continent they live on has been turned into countless fragments, large or small, the only thing that is still complete is the area where the final refuge is located at present, the size is about the size of the two Taiwans on the earth in Hao Qi's previous life, compared to the Yaxi continent comparable to Asia, this area is actually small and pitiful.

The only fortunate thing is that the anomaly area of regional expansion still exists, although the interior of this anomaly area has also been invaded by a large earthquake, and there are many huge ground fissures, but after all, it is a complete continent, and the internal area of the entire anomaly area will not be smaller than the Yaxi continent, but it can only be used as a place to live, and the minerals or resources in it have not increased because of the anomaly.

As for the rest of the Yasi continent, the void islands or void boulders that are shattered into one by one are suspended, and there are tens to thousands of meters between each other, and between each other are bottomless abysses that can fall directly outside, requiring flying devices, or those who are close need to jump over, otherwise they will not be able to go to other suspended areas.

In addition to the geographical upheaval of the entire Yasi continent, the biggest change is actually another ...... The water source is gone.

Judging from the results that have been detected, the ocean around the Yasi continent has completely disappeared, and the remaining water sources, wells, and even some underground rivers on the surface have also disappeared.

Although the final death toll in this catastrophe is more than 50,000 people, there are still more than 100,000 people alive, of which more than 100,000 are infants, food, water sources, and the materials consumed are less than adults, but the daily consumption of more than 100,000 people is still not a small number, all the recyclable water sources have disappeared, and only those that can be used are the remaining ones as reserve materials, even if they are used sparingly, the remaining water can only be consumed for two months at mostAfter that, there will be no water available.

In addition to water, in fact, there are many difficulties faced by all human beings, the simplest one, in the end, the shelter is just a shelter after all, from the beginning when it was built to prepare a place base for refuge, everyone is actually crammed together in it, there is no private space at all, there is no outbuilding like on the island, not to mention all kinds of factories or something, this shelter alone cannot support these hundreds of thousands of people.

Food reserves barely last more than half a year, but energy is the last thing to worry about, and when the final shelter was built, almost most of the reactors were demolished here, which may be the only thing that can make everyone feel a little more at ease.

So the biggest question in front of everyone now is......

"Water! Recyclable water!"

Lan Ling'er rubbed her temples, she really felt a terrible headache, after this sudden catastrophe, she was left with such a mess, the island human government that had developed well, and now she had to start all over again, no, it should be a much more difficult situation than before, the original infrastructure is all gone, in addition to more energy than before, the materials are extremely scarce, not to mention that the water source of the entire continent is gone, this is the most urgent thing in front of us.

"...... is what I said, it is really unrealistic to find the water source lake buried underground, at least in a short period of time, even if you find it, you need to organize manpower and material resources to dig it out, and at the same time you also need to manufacture related equipment and factories, you must know that now all the islands are suspended piece by piece, to do this, we must have a lot of flying devices, water pipes, and even build bridges across hundreds of meters, thousands of meters, during which we have long been thirsty to death, so before that, we must first make a sewage purification plant and a drinking processing plant, at least to make our inventory of water can be recycled and consumed。 ”

This is a meeting in a conference hall in the shelter, and the people present are all the high-level government of the previous island government, except for a very few of them are from the internal qi realm, such as Canghua Daoren, Bai Silly Wang Zheng, and the rest of them are considered civilian personnel, so there are basically no deaths in this cataclysm, and the government team is quite complete, and this meeting is to solve a key issue that almost everyone in the shelter is currently arguing about...... The solution of water sources.

People can live for a month without eating, but people can only live for a few days without drinking water, for the lack of water sources, although there is information control, but more or less have been known to the people in the shelter, and for the underground lakes that have not been exhausted, it has also been explored, so whether to build a sewage purification plant and then a drinking processing plant, or to use this manpower and material resources to dig out the underground lake, this is also divided into two factions in the people, both have their own reasons, but no one can convince anyone for a while.

At present, a middle-aged man is speaking at the meeting, and he is also a high-level member of the government, and he managed the issue of people's biological resources before the catastrophe, so he has a clear idea of how much water stocks, how many materials, and how many manpower there are at present.

Others, however, disagreed, and one of the young women said, "Mr. Danyang, the data you said is true, and we all know this, but have you ever thought about a question?" In order to verify this problem, I deliberately submitted a report using a three-hour central host computer, and used the host computer to simulate the optimal recyclable loss and consumable time, remember, it is the most optimal recyclable loss rate...... The result is that even if we build a recyclable and purified factory, we can only support it until five months at most, and we all know the facts, even if there is not a single bit of water wasted, and the rationing of fresh water, as well as the recyclable purification of fresh water, we can only support about four months at most, and the data of five months is just data, and after four months, we will still die of thirst. ”

The middle-aged man known as Mr. Danyang immediately said, "But it's better than dying of thirst in two months, right?"

The young woman smiled softly, spread her hands and said: "This is our point of disagreement, Mr. Danyang, I am a martial artist, in the original United States of the Iron Curtain, although I was also a civil servant, I was first and foremost a martial artist, of course, I am not discriminating against a cultural person like Mr. Danyang, but this is actually the difference between the thinking of a martial artist and ordinary people...... We all know that our manpower and material resources have suffered great losses, especially in terms of materials, we either use these materials to create a recyclable water source, but in this way, at least four or five months we must re-collect or manufacture materials, and there is no way to carry out larger projects, or use these materials to create a groundwater extraction system and transmission system, there is no way to have a good water circulation system in the near future, this is a matter of choice, whether to live for a few more months, but when the time comes, there is nothing to do, or desperate to fight for a hope...... I'm a warrior, I'd rather fight everything, that's it, Mr. Danyang. ”

The middle-aged man's face turned a little red, as if he wanted to say something, but in the end he didn't say it, just expressed his opposition in silence.

"Then vote, according to the previous practice, the minority obeys the majority. Lan Ling'er spoke at this moment, and finally voted to decide one of the two proposals.

And Lan Ling'er's mind is actually not on this choice, in fact, as far as she is concerned, the water source problem is just a problem, not a life and death choice, with Hao Qi here, when there is really no water to drink, it is a big deal to waste an underground lake, Hao Qi directly lifted the island above the final shelter, and then broke the lake and led it out, forming water like a waterfall or rain to fall from the sky, but this is not to mention for the time being, it is better for them to decide the current matter first.

Lan Ling'er's mind thought more about other places, today......

It was the day when Hao Qi met with the scientist who claimed to be a remnant of the primeval era, and the other party ......

Are they really human, as they say? Is there really no hostility towards them?

Lan Ling'er was worried.
