Restart the Disaster of Another World

At Jing Yao's suggestion, the young and strong men in the village gathered together. They were divided into two groups, one group shouldered the heavy responsibility of exploring the outside world, and the other group stayed in the cave to protect their families. Everyone was aware of the importance of the task and devoted themselves to the intense and orderly work.

The outgoing team carefully patrolled the mountain to check the flood-affected areas. They carefully observed the surrounding environment and looked for possible food sources. At the same time, the people who stayed in the cave were also busy. They sorted out supplies and prepared to meet the outgoing team.

They had been in the cave for six days and had not seen anyone other than the first group they met.

Obviously, even if everyone fled to the mountains, their directions were not consistent, and the probability of them colliding with each other was a small event. After all, the Xishan Mountains were vast, and the people living here had already divided their territories and left their own retreat routes.

Jing Yao had been out on patrol several times but had found nothing. This man was the first person they had met in these days. Seeing that he had been drifting for so long, he must know the situation outside, so everyone rescued him without hesitation and wanted to find out what the situation was like outside.

When the man calmed down, Jing Yao helped him sit down slowly, then asked softly, "Where are you from?"

"At the seaside... the tsunami came too fast. Fortunately, we were far away and quickly drifted down the river. We were lucky enough to avoid the turbulent and terrifying waves. When we left, we witnessed the large-scale collapse of the coastline. If nothing unexpected had happened, those people at the edge would have been swept into the sea and lost their lives."

"The island we lived on also collapsed," said the people who came from afar to take refuge, crying bitterly. "With a loud bang, half of the island sank into the sea."

Upon hearing the news, Jing Yao and others were extremely shocked: "Why did the island suddenly collapse?"

"I really don't know. It just collapsed without any warning! It completely broke apart!" The man who was speaking was very emotional and almost collapsed. He covered his head tightly with his hands. "I have no idea what to do next!"

It is impossible for an ordinary tsunami to destroy the entire island. It must be a huge tsunami caused by a strong earthquake to cause such serious consequences. Even if the tide recedes, it is hard to imagine how dilapidated and messy the ground environment will become.

"When I came out, it was raining heavily, as if God was venting his endless anger and sorrow. The big raindrops hit my body violently, but fortunately, I was wearing a straw raincoat and carrying a wooden bucket, which allowed me to scoop out the rainwater accumulated in the boat. Every time I scooped out the accumulated water, it was a fight with death, because only in this way could we ensure that the boat would not sink and continue to move forward with difficulty.

The first two days were pretty smooth. I still had some food to eat, and the rain also solved the problem of drinking water. However, when the third day came, my food had been consumed and hunger was like a demon. I could only row desperately to find a way out. Gradually, my physical strength was exhausted, so I could only leave it to fate and let the boat drift.

When I drifted to the foot of the mountain ahead, the scene in front of me was horrifying - countless corpses were floating on the water, they were soaked beyond recognition and exuded a disgusting stench. Fear enveloped me, and I paddled desperately to the side, not daring to look at them any more. Although I tried my best to stay away from these terrible scenes, they seemed to be chasing me, getting closer and closer. A sense of despair surged in my heart, and then I paddled frantically like a ruthless man, and finally succeeded in escaping from that horrible place.

However, the bad luck did not end there. Just when I was a little relieved, the oar suddenly broke, which undoubtedly dealt me ​​a heavy blow. Without the oar, I could no longer push the boat forward and could only let it drift. In the next two days, I could only pray silently, hoping that fate would bless me and take me to a safe place.

Finally, after a long wait and drifting, I came here. This experience is like a nightmare, deeply imprinted in my heart. Whenever I recall those horrible scenes and helpless moments, I feel lingering fear. But no matter what, I survived, maybe this is God's blessing to me! "

Listening to his story, everyone showed admiration. It was unbelievable that this man had gone through so many hardships in just a few days and yet still survived with such tenacity. It was truly admirable.

However, judging from the news he conveyed, the situation outside was also quite serious. Several villages and coastal areas ahead were all submerged by floods.

At this moment, heavy rain is still pouring down from time to time. No one knows when it will stop, and there is no way of knowing when the flood will recede. Everyone's mood is getting heavier.

Seeing that everyone was silent and depressed, Jing Yao hurriedly said, "Everyone, let's go back for now. This brother has been wandering for many days and is very tired. We need to prepare some food for him so that he can have a good meal and rest."

When everyone heard this, they nodded and said, "That's right, let's go to our residence quickly to rest for a while, enjoy some delicious food, and then have a good sleep."

Hearing that there was food to be had, the man's eyes lit up and he said happily, "I'm Li Yong, thank you all so much, you are really kind people!"

"You're welcome. You said that even God won't accept you, so we should naturally treat you well." Jing Yao said softly with a smile on his face.

His words were like a spring breeze, making Li Yong feel warm. Li Yong nodded vigorously and said firmly: "I will definitely live well. What does this little bit of wind and rain mean to me? I grew up by the sea, and I am least afraid of wind and rain."

When everyone heard this, they were all shocked. Yes, they all grew up by the sea. Although they did not make a living by fishing, they would go to rivers, lakes or the sea to fish in their spare time, so they could be considered half fishermen. Half of their lives were spent with water, so why should they be afraid of a tsunami or flood? What if the flood flooded and their homes were submerged? As long as people were still alive, as long as there was still a breath, there was hope.

They are not afraid at all, and their hearts are full of hope for the future. When the tsunami recedes and the floods dissipate, they will be able to rebuild a new home on this land that was once ravaged by disaster.

Although they will face a long and arduous reconstruction task next, it is unknown how much effort it will take to restore this once vibrant village to its former appearance.

But no matter what, life must go on, and hope will always be born in adversity.

Jing Yao was very satisfied to see that everyone's emotions had been fully aroused. He said nothing more, but silently led everyone back to the cave.

Li Yong's arrival made the originally silent cave suddenly boil. With excitement flashing in people's eyes, they rushed to him and eagerly asked about the situation in the outside world.

"Little brother, where are you from? What's the situation outside now?"

"How are the other villages down the mountain? Have any government officials come to provide disaster relief?"

"Do you know Ping'an Village? What's the situation there?"

"Has anyone been to Shangliu Village..."

Everyone was talking at once, and questions were pouring in. Seeing the chaotic scene, the village head couldn't help but frown and said sternly: "What a disgrace! All of you, disperse! Don't run around! With so many people crowded together, what if someone gets hurt by mistake?"

These days, the villagers live together and there are many things to do. Jing Yao is well aware of this situation and has specially found a few popular science stories, especially emphasizing that crowds are prone to trampling, in order to warn everyone.

Now, everyone has understood that even if they are extremely anxious, they must not act impulsively, but must maintain order and obey orders. Therefore, when the head of the village shouted, everyone returned to their original positions and did not dare to act rashly.

The head of the village showed a satisfied look on his face, and then he led Jing Yao and the others to a makeshift chair, slowly sat down, and began to ask about the details.

The villagers had already prepared the food and brought it to the stone table. The food was hot porridge made from canned food and rice, which exuded an enticing aroma. Li Yong took the food without hesitation and ate it without even raising his head.

Jing Yao took the initiative to undertake the task of conveying the information and told the village head everything that Li Yong had told them.

After hearing this, the village head couldn't help but sigh deeply: "Although we already knew that the situation outside was difficult, we didn't expect it to be so bad. I really don't know how many people in the surrounding villages can survive."

Because their village acted quickly and responded in time, the people who survived the earthquake basically caught up with the main force, successfully saving a considerable number of people. However, the situation of other villages was unknown, which made the village head very worried.

Li Yong swallowed the last mouthful of rice in the bowl, then looked up at the people in front of him and said slowly: "When I came here, I saw some figures swaying on the nearby mountains, but those mountains were too densely covered with trees, and it was impossible to cross them, nor could I find the way up the mountain. There was a mountain on the way that was easier to land on, but unfortunately I couldn't float there, so I was sent here. There were still many survivors in the villages we met along the way, but they were all scattered everywhere, not as united as you are."

At first, when he first saw the crowd, he thought to himself that it would be quite remarkable if only a few hundred people survived. However, he was surprised to see tens of thousands of people gathered here! He could not help but admire this village.

Hearing this, everyone felt relieved. In the face of such a huge disaster, everyone hoped that more people would survive. One more person alive means one more hope for humanity.

Li Yong picked up the bowl again and drank the porridge in big mouthfuls. Jing Yao reported to the village head about their patrol situation. After learning that everything was still normal, he didn't say anything more. After arranging Li Yong's accommodation, everyone returned to their respective residences to rest.

When Jing Yao returned to his residence, he found Wenquan concentrating on imitating Wen Xing in weaving a mat with straw. The mountains of straw in the cave were all brought up by the villagers with great effort last autumn, and they had originally planned to keep them until spring to make fertilizer for farming.

However, now the straw has become a great material for people to spend their leisure time. Every day, they use straw to make a variety of daily necessities, among which straw mats, baskets, straw sandals and curtains are the most common.

Jing Yao marveled at the infinite wisdom of the working people and deeply realized the truth that "everything can be woven with just one piece of straw." Today, almost all items in the temporary home where Jing Yao and Wen Qun live are made of straw.

Wen Qun has organized the limited space in an orderly manner, placing items in an orderly manner so that they can be seen at a glance. Although this is only a temporary shelter, he still cherishes this warm little nest.

Jing Yao walked over slowly and carefully took out a plant with a few small red flowers on it from his arms. Then he took out an exquisite little flowerpot woven with straw and put a few bright flowers in it.

He discovered these flowers by chance while patrolling outside. At that time, they were attacked by heavy rain, and the soil at the roots was almost washed away, leaving only the white and clean roots clinging to the rocks. Jing Yao felt pity for them, so he picked them up without hesitation, thinking that Wen Qun would definitely like them.

When Wen Qun saw the flowers, he was delighted and asked curiously, "Where did you get these flowers from?"

Jing Yao smiled and replied: "I found them outside. I also brought back some soil. We can try to keep them alive."

Wen Qun nodded excitedly, "Yes, let me see how to plant it."

When he carefully observed the straw flowerpot, he couldn't help but wonder. Although the flowerpot looked very beautiful at the moment, it was made of straw after all. Once it was soaked in water, it would start to rot within two days. After thinking for a while, Wen Qun resolutely decided to give up using the flowerpot, turned around and walked into the house to start looking for a more suitable replacement.

After a lot of searching and inner struggle, Wen Qun finally gritted his teeth and decided to use a soup bowl as a flower pot. This soup bowl is a very valuable property in their current home. The two of them only have three rice bowls, one soup bowl and a plate.

Although he was reluctant, he knew that this was the only way to ensure that the flowers had a stable and suitable growing environment.

Jing Yao looked at him and couldn't help but feel a little funny. Although his space was filled with all kinds of bowls and pots, in such a difficult adversity, Wen Qun was able to make full use of limited resources and do his best to make life better.

Jing Yao was deeply touched by Wen Qun's optimistic and positive personality. He did not intend to interfere with Wen Qun's actions. Instead, he enthusiastically accompanied him to chisel a small hole in the extremely precious soup bowl to allow the flowers to breathe.

Before long, a delicate potted plant was completed. They gently poured the right amount of water on it and then gazed at the gorgeous flower together.

At this moment, their eyes met, and their faces were filled with satisfied smiles. This smile seemed to have thrown away all the fatigue and worries, leaving only the love for life and the expectation for the future.
