But before that, water transportation was no longer available.

At the port, within a few days, a large number of cruise ships were visibly added. Nearly a hundred passenger ships and cargo ships of all sizes were docked there, waiting for the day when the port would resume operations.

For artificial islands at sea, the loss of water transportation is undoubtedly fatal.

Food, clothing, commodities, etc., 99% of the resources of Genshin Island rely on sea transportation. The paralysis of the port means a significant tightening of resources.

The most critical issue is that there is a big problem with food reserves.

It is true that there is air transport, but for the 560,000 people on the island, even if the five airports are operating at full capacity, it is still not enough to feed so many mouths.

As a result, the entire Genshin Island is currently in panic, food panic is spreading across the island, and the prices of food in supermarkets are rising rapidly.

"Oh, if only water transport could be restored soon! Brother Gucheng, listen to what they say. The fish they bought today is twice as expensive as before. Is this possible? Is it right? Do businesses that profit from disasters really have no conscience at all?"

The Akatsuki family is located in an apartment building on the artificial island of Nanyu, where only Akatsuki Kojou and Akatsuki Nagisa live.

At the beginning of the new year, Nagisa Akatsuki started chattering and angrily criticizing the current situation on the island.

"That's strange. I heard that Genshin Island should have a storage warehouse for emergency food."

"Brother Gucheng, you're so out of touch. Didn't they say that on TV a while ago? The grain warehouses were also on Dongyu Island, and they were affected by that incident. The fire spread, burning down several warehouses. Coupled with the port being paralyzed, the direct economic losses reached tens of billions! I mean, you really should watch more TV!"

Xiao Gucheng lay lazily on the sofa, waiting for lunch to arrive.

Because of what happened on New Year's Eve, Nagisa and him were in a cold war for a long time. Finally, at the cost of popsicles for the entire month of January, the relationship between the brother and sister was restored.

Having said that, due to the current shortage of resources, even the price of popsicles has risen sharply, and ice cream assassins are everywhere on the island. It seems that he is destined to not be able to save his pocket money.

"Did the TV say when it would be restored?"

"It'll probably take at least another week! By then, spring break will be over, and we'll be able to move on to senior year. Gucheng-ge will have to go to high school, right? It'll be a bit troublesome to move to middle school later!"

It’s okay if it’s just a week, I can still save some money and buy snacks for Agulola, Xiao Gucheng thought happily.

"I am back!"

A cheerful shout was heard, and the front door of the Xiao family opened from the outside.

A woman with carefree manners walked in. She was wearing a wrinkled white dress and a pair of glasses on her youthful face. She looked lively and energetic.

"Shinsen, why are you back today?"

Nagisa Akatsuki popped her head out of the kitchen in surprise, a soup spoon still in her hand.

"Oh, Nagisa, now that he's older, doesn't that mean Mommy is no longer welcome?"

Xiao Shensen showed an expression that looked like he was about to cry.

"No, it's just that I didn't see you send a message in advance!"

Nagisa Akatsuki turned a blind eye to her mother's antics, as if she was already used to it.

After saying welcome, she returned to the kitchen, where the clatter of pots and pans continued.

"Mom, why did you come back today? Dad's not here!"

Xiao Gucheng stood up from the sofa and moved Xiao Shensen's suitcase into the room.

"It doesn't matter whether that idiot comes back or not. I just want to ask, have you invited Ali to come over to our house?"

Xiao Shensen looked down on the stinky idiot and asked with anticipation about letting Xiao Gucheng live in Bengbu.

"no!"

Xiao Kojou growled as if he was devastated.

"Mom, can you be more reserved? The person you're with is my classmate!"

He didn't dare say this out loud, because Nagisa didn't know that Akatsuki Fukamori had fallen in love with someone else. If he knew, he might faint on the spot!

"That's a shame!"

Xiao Shensen's face was full of disappointment, and she completely ignored her son's indignation.

She took a popsicle out of the freezer and put it in her mouth.

First lick around, then focus on licking the front end, and then lick back and forth from top to bottom and from bottom to top.

"……What are you doing?"

Xiao Gucheng looked for a while, and suddenly felt unable to sit still, with a look of horror on his face.

He is not a child anymore and knows a lot of ways to eat popsicles. Ordinary people would never eat popsicles like this!

"Don't worry, I'm just practicing. My skills have been wasted over the years!"

"What technology? Hey, what technology! What are you trying to do to my classmates?!"

Xiao Shensen looked calm, as if he didn't take the dirty joke seriously at all. Xiao Gucheng couldn't help but roar loudly.

"Mom, I want to ask you something, answer me seriously!"

Xiao Gucheng remembered his old father's instructions and suddenly became serious.

"It depends."

Xiao Shensen said vaguely.

"If Ali asked you to die, would you be willing?"

"If it's about committing suicide for love, then I can consider it."

Xiao Shensen's expression was calm, as if he was talking about something very ordinary.

Is it possible?

Xiao Gucheng was suddenly shocked and his face turned grim.

"What if he makes you eat shit?"

Xiao Shensen's movements suddenly stopped, and her tongue, which was licking the popsicle, seemed to smell a strange smell for a moment.

"Gucheng, even if you have that kind of XP, could you please not say it in front of me, especially when I'm eating?"

The look of as if she had eaten shit on her face clearly showed that she was thinking of some strange scenes that made her feel sick.

"I don't have that kind of perverted XP!"

Akatsuki Kojou, eager to prove his innocence, couldn't help but yell.

However, this made him feel relieved.

My mother was obviously unwilling to do this.

If what my stinky dad said is true, once someone is bewitched, she will not refuse any request, then she will not hesitate at all even if she is asked to eat shit. Xiao Shensen is obviously not like that.

This proves that Xiao Shensen was not bewitched.

That's fine.

The huge stone that was hanging on Xiao Gucheng's heart fell back into his stomach.

But then he became emo again.

Since she wasn't bewitched, doesn't that mean that my mother fell in love with Ali of her own will?

This is also the end in another sense!

"What are you guys doing yelling about here? Come wash your hands and have lunch!"

After a while, Xiao's lunch was ready.

The hostess, Akatsuki Fukamori, and the only male, Akatsuki Kojou, sat at the dining table, enjoying the meal completely.

Akane Nagisa, who has been taking care of the household chores all year round, is an excellent cook and can easily cook all kinds of dishes.

Akatsuki Nagisa casually turned on the TV next to her, which was reporting information about a war somewhere.

Chapter 827: The War Around the Body

2023-06-01

"It's New Year's, and a war has already broken out. This year is going to be very unusual!"

Akatsuki Nagisa seemed to have sensed something and said with a bitter face.

Xiao Shensen glanced at the content on TV and nodded in understanding.

"A war over the body?"

She murmured quietly.

Xiao Gucheng suddenly pricked up his ears and his expression became extremely serious.

…………

"Woohoo, what are you doing?"

After dinner, while Nagisa was clearing the table, Akatsuki Kojou entered Akatsuki Fukamori's room.

I was shocked when I entered the room. This woman took out everything from the wardrobe and closet and threw them on the bed in a mess. She was lying under the bed, as if she was looking for something.

"Oh, Gucheng, you're here just in time. Where did you put the red suitcase I used last year?"

"Why are you asking this now?"

"In a few days, we'll have our company team building. I can fit more stuff in that suitcase. I love it!"

"That's something I'll have to ask Nagisa. Speaking of which, why are we still having a team building right now? Aren't the ports closed?"

"MAR sent a private jet over!"

"That's okay."

Xiao Gucheng complained in a low voice, "Capitalists are really enviable, but no, their faces are really ugly!"

"Mom, what did you say at the dinner table just now?"

"A war over the body?"

Xiao Shensen crawled out from under the bed and sat on the bed covered in dust.

Nagisa will definitely be furious after this, Akatsuki Kojou thought.

"The Extermination Dynasty unilaterally declared war on the Nilepusi Autonomous Region, led by Prince Iblisbel Yazid, whose territory is the Caucasus. His Highness even went to the battlefield himself. It seems he was angered."

Xiao Shensen took a breath for a while. It was really tiring to rummage through the drawers.

"How to say?"

"The Ninth Prince of the Extinction Dynasty is extremely arrogant. He simply disdains to wage war against the Xiongnu. He did this because the Xiongnu must have angered him. At this stage, there's only one possible reason that could have angered the Ninth Prince: Nilepuxi stole the two bodies in the Ninth Prince's care!"

Xiao Shensen spoke very logically and analyzed the situation on the Eurasian border bit by bit.

Nilepsi is a Hungarian autonomous state established by the arms dealer Zaharias. It has only a history of more than ten years and has not been recognized internationally.

Because of seizing the territory of the Karyana clan, Nilepusi has been in territorial dispute with the War King Territory and is currently at war.

With the military strength of Nilepusi, it would be very difficult to deal with the War King's Realm. This is based on the fact that the opponent is just a noble in the War King's Realm. Generally speaking, they would never dare to provoke the Extinction Dynasty at this time!

But the Ninth Prince still dispatched a large army to attack.

This means that Nilepusi has set his eyes on something very valuable in the hands of the Ninth Prince, so valuable that it may even be more valuable than a country!

In that case, there is only one possibility that can be thought of!

The Ninth Prince was the candidate for the Emperor chosen by the Extinction Dynasty to participate in the "Flame Banquet"!

And Nilepusi took the body from the Ninth Prince!

Even if they have to throw their country into the crater to roast, they will still help the Fourth True Ancestor to resurrect with their own hands, so as to gain the merit of following the dragon. In this way, the destroyed country can be easily resurrected and even become even better!

"I see!"

After hearing this, Xiao Gucheng immediately looked like he had gained some new knowledge.

He always knew that his mother was a very capable person who could make amazing remarks from time to time. He didn't expect that he could see so much from just one piece of news!

"Oh, I heard that from someone else, too!"

Who knew that Shen Sen would laugh and reveal his true nature.

She had known earlier that the Huns had stolen the Ninth Prince's body. Deducing this information from the news was, of course, much simpler than analyzing it.
