Reborn: I Stock Up and Bully the Trash to Dominate the Apocalypse

Now he remembered and nodded: "Have you asked about the situation at the base? Is there any news about Xiao Xiao and Ming Yue?"

Qi Mingyu shook his head: "The population outside the base is less than 200 people, and the rest are scattered outside."

Xiaoliu heard this and interrupted, "We went out to see it during the day, too. We saw the ocean everyone had been talking about! There were quite a few people gathered by the beach, but only about two or three hundred at most. Very few people were able to escape this earthquake."

Zhang Jia then said, "What do you think of those suddenly appearing mountains and seas? Many people are already heading to the seaside. Since there's a sea, there are fish. Living by the sea, there's no need to worry about starving!"

Qi Mingyu then told Zhou Shuwan about his and his speculations, then shook his head at the end: "But it's not recommended to go to the seaside right now. The seaside is low-lying, and with the temperature rising in the past few days, countless water flows will definitely flow to the seaside, which is very similar to the floods of the past year... People still have to hide in high places to avoid the floods..."

"That being said!" Xiao Liu considered another aspect. "This snow water is contaminated. Who knows how many viruses it contains. If it all flows into the sea, would we dare to eat the creatures in it? Wouldn't that also be contaminated?"

That's true.

The drought in the past was caused by the fact that all water sources were polluted and there was no technology to purify seawater.

"Even if we go to the beach right now and stockpile fish, how much can we possibly gather?" Sangzi frowned slightly. "Without the right tools, even a busy day won't yield much. But once the temperature rises above 0 degrees, it'll be like a torrent of water in an instant... We need to discuss this carefully."

Zhou Shuwan pondered for a long time before speaking, "Now that we have the sea, we'll naturally have to rely on it for our livelihood. However, if we allow so much polluted water to flow into the sea, who knows how long it will take for the sea to naturally purify itself. We truly need the ocean's resources to survive! Why not think of a way to stop the torrent and redirect it so it flows into the cracks in the ground created by the earthquake..."

Today, the continent is full of cracks, some tens of meters wide, some only a few centimeters wide, and even entire mountain peaks have been cut into valleys...

It is not a fantasy to say that we can stop the torrent.

Because the continent opposite was obviously newly formed, with mountains and seas, the temperature was suitable, and there was no layer of ice and snow as thick as a floor. All they had to do was cut off the torrent here.

Several people in the tent fell into deep thought.

Finally, Qi Mingyu said, "We can mobilize the hundreds of people we've met so far to work together. We're very familiar with the terrain here. For half of the terrain, with a little guidance, we can ensure that the melted ice and snow can flow into the cracks in the ground. For the other half, we'll have to laboriously dig ditches manually."

"But we must first send the elderly, weak, sick and disabled to higher ground."

"That's it. Time is running out, so we split up."

They need to go to the seaside and the base, persuade the survivors to move to higher places immediately to avoid the coming flood, explain the situation, and mobilize them to participate in the task of digging ditches and draining the flood.

But how to persuade those who have escaped death is a difficult problem.

Sang Zi continued, "Yes, some people have finally found a place that can shelter them from the wind and snow, and I'm afraid they won't be willing to leave easily."

"Everything depends on human effort. We can only try our best." Qi Mingyu said.

"Okay! Then let's do it." Zhang Jiafeng was in a hurry, and only then did he have time to tell Zhou Shuwan what was really in his heart: "Wanwan, don't worry too much about Auntie and Mumu. Just take care of them slowly in the future, and they will get better."

Zhou Shuwan smiled at her: "Okay, I know, thank you, Jiajia."

Zhang Jia added, "Sister Fen has also been worried about you, but she has a lot of things to deal with over there. She's also worried about Sister Hong, who hasn't been seen since she disappeared..."
