It's dawn, and residents in the city are waking up one after another.
The sanitation workers who got up early to clean the road are still busy, but it is almost over at this time.
There are some people selling breakfast in some places in the streets and alleys, and they have started business early.
In the green belt not far away, there are some birds perching on the trees, jumping around on the branches and chirping happily.
A sprinkler truck appeared at the end of the street, and the water spray fell on the ground, preventing dust from flying up.
When these city cleaning workers finish their work, they can see that there are more passers-by on the street.
The migrant workers who got up early to go to work hurriedly bought some breakfast on the roadside and ate while rushing to the company.
Because of the rush hour, some intersections with heavy traffic will have traffic security officers responsible for directing traffic.
Lin Fei was standing in line on the roadside to buy breakfast. He found that there were a lot of vehicles on this road this morning, and he was a little confused.
Usually when he comes here to buy breakfast, he doesn't see so many cars like now.
At this time, he heard the people in line in front of him chatting about something, and he quickly understood what was going on.
It turns out that there is a street nearby that needs to have its drainage pipes renovated. Now the entire road is under construction, making it impossible for vehicles to pass through. Therefore, vehicles that want to pass must go around the road.
Now everyone has come to this road, making it somewhat congested.
Lin Fei waited in line for a while, and finally it was his turn to buy breakfast.
Now when he buys breakfast, he buys a lot at once and then buys again after he has finished eating.
But today he couldn't buy a lot at once like before, because there were a lot of people queuing up behind him. If he bought a lot at once, others wouldn't be able to eat.
Another street was under construction, so the breakfast stalls had to suspend operations.
Without the stall selling breakfast, those who buy breakfast can only come here to buy breakfast, so the queue has become even longer.
"Young man, there are a lot of people queuing up today..." the aunt selling breakfast said to Lin Fei implicitly.
Lin Fei used to buy a lot of breakfast every time, so the breakfast seller also knew Lin Fei.
"Just five servings today." Lin Fei didn't want to buy a lot of breakfast today, so he simply ordered five servings.
I paid, took my breakfast and left.
When I walked into the community, I saw a parent with a child hurriedly walking out of the corridor.
"Mom, please walk slower!" A little boy followed quickly behind.
The pace of adults is so fast that it is difficult for children to keep up.
"If you go any slower, you'll be late," the little boy's mother said, then picked up the child.
Lin Fei looked at the mother and son who were leaving in a hurry. Seeing that their figures had disappeared, he looked back and muttered to himself.
"The roads outside are very congested now, and they will most likely be late."
…………
There was a sound in the quiet living room, and the beautiful news anchor was broadcasting some hot news.
Yesterday, Lin Fei and Ning Yu made an appointment to have dinner, but the other party had something to do temporarily, so they had to reschedule it to a later date.
It’s hard to say what the specific matter is, and I can’t reveal it until I finish my work.
Lin Fei guessed that it might have something to do with alien beasts, because a lot of the news he had read in the past two days was about alien beasts being restless.
On the edge of the city, alien beasts began to gather as psychic energy became more and more intense.
Some villages located on the edge of cities now have to consider relocating.
Although some people can be arranged to guard those places, this consumes too much manpower and material resources.
Direct relocation saves manpower and material resources, and there are fewer people living in those villages. Moving them closer to the city center can better improve their living environment.
Lin Fei saw the news host broadcast a content about the relocation of the village, and found that the department responsible for the relocation also invited investigators from the Superpower Administration for help.
Because strange beasts frequently appear on the edge of the city, there is no chance that any strange beasts will approach during the relocation of the village.
Investigators are asked to be vigilant around the area to prevent casualties if strange animals appear.
After Lin Fei read the news, he thought that there were many villages on the edge of the city.
Although there are very few people in the village now, it will take a lot of time to move them all.
"Dinglingling..."
The cell phone placed on the table suddenly rang, interrupting Lin Fei's thoughts.
He picked up his phone and looked at the caller ID and found that it was Han Xue calling.
"Hello?"
"Good morning!"
"Morning, what can I do?"
"That's right. Didn't you go to the spirit world to help me deal with the insect swarm before?"
"Yes, what happened?" Lin Fei heard Han Xue mention the matter in the spirit world, and then he asked, "Did the insect swarm attack the stronghold again after I left?"
"That's not true." Han Xue said with a smile, not expecting Lin Fei to think of this.
"What is that?" Lin Fei asked.
"It's like this. Didn't you discover a cave before? Later, I sent people to explore it and found that there are indeed many valuable resources there as you said." Han Xue said.
The two chatted for a while, and Lin Fei learned from Han Xue that when the cave was fully developed, the reward would be paid to him.
After making the call, Lin Fei said to himself with a smile, "The reward should be quite a lot."
Although he has a lot of wealth now, who would think that he has too much money?
…………
Spiritual world.
In the endless wilderness, strong winds and rains continued to baptize large areas.
The fields originally covered with weeds turned into swamps, and then the water level continued to rise, all of which were submerged and turned into lakes.
Not far from here, there is an area with relatively high terrain, and there are many caravans crowded here at the moment.
Guards patrol the perimeter constantly to prevent conflicts between caravans.
Originally, the area where they were stationed was relatively wide. As the rain continued to fall and the water level rose, many places were flooded by rainwater, so they had to move their station.
The circle shrinks, and then these people meet each other.
There were some conflicts between the caravans at the beginning, and they were very dissatisfied when they saw each other. However, with the current natural disaster, it is difficult to have any more disputes.
Several big businessmen held a meeting and finally decided to gather their strength together and find ways to resist the rising water levels.
There is currently a solution that is more feasible, which is to build an earth wall around the area where everyone is stationed.
Such a project is very large, and it would be difficult to complete it without everyone getting together and working together, so a few leading businessmen would get together for a meeting and negotiation.
As a result, everyone agreed to work together. Thinking about it, if anyone still objects now, they will definitely be squeezed out.
Rather than being pushed out and ending up with a bad outcome, it is better to nod and agree.
…………
"Boom..."
There was lightning and thunder, and a bright silver-white electric light flashed across the sky.
The pig-headed captain, who had a brown birthmark on his forehead, was awakened by the thunder. He stood up and looked outside the cave.
It started raining heavily yesterday and it was still raining this morning.
It had been brewing for a long time, but it had not rained yet. At that time, it was expected that this heavy rain would last longer than ever before.
The pig-headed captain with a brown birthmark on his forehead came to the entrance of the cave and looked at many places outside that were flooded by rain.
The rain curtain had previously obscured the view, but now that it was dawn, the view could be seen further.
The rain has weakened a bit compared to when it started, but it's still heavy.
The pig-headed captain with a brown birthmark on his forehead stretched his hand out of the cave. Within a few seconds, a lot of rainwater gathered in his palm.
Shaking off the rainwater in the palm of his hand, he looked at the gradually expanding lake in the distance, and his worries gradually increased.
The pig-headed captain with a brown birthmark on his forehead said to himself, "I thought before that a lot of rain would gather around here and form a lake, but I didn't expect it to come so quickly."
Because this situation was expected from the beginning, when choosing the cave, I specifically chose this relatively high place.
But now that I see the rain gathering so quickly, I originally thought that there was no need to worry about this where I am now, but now I have changed my mind.
"Let's see again! If the situation is particularly bad, I will have no choice but to move."
The pig-headed captain with a brown birthmark on his forehead said somewhat depressedly that he had been forced to choose a new place because the rain was about to flood the cave.
Now that I have found a new place and settled my family here, the crisis is still coming, which is really a headache.
Although I woke up early, I was still hungry.
The pig-headed captain with a brown birthmark on his forehead averted his gaze, then turned around and went to the innermost part of the cave, picked up some wood from the ground and went to the bonfire.
I added some wood to the bonfire and blew a few breaths to make the flames burn brighter.
The smoked dried meat that was previously placed in the backpack was now taken out and skewered with branches and roasted next to the fire.
The wild fruits collected are quite fresh. If it rains for a long time, the wild fruits must be eaten in advance, otherwise they will rot.
The oil is coming out of the barbecued meat, and the fragrant smell of meat fills the cave.
At this time, the sound of wind and rain outside was still there, and even if the smell of meat floated out of the cave, it would be washed away immediately, so there was no need to worry about some strange beasts coming to the door after smelling the smell.
The pig-headed captain with a brown birthmark on his forehead blew on the fragrant dried meat and enjoyed his breakfast happily.
Sometimes it's actually quite comfortable to eat while listening to the sound of the storm outside.
After breakfast, it was time to clean up the messy wood in the cave.
Yesterday there was a sudden earthquake and the pile of wood fell down.
I was too lazy to clean up at the time, but now I have a good night's rest and am full of energy.
If you have nothing to do, you might as well re-stack the scattered wood.
The pig-headed captain with a brown birthmark on his forehead bent down to pick up pieces of wood and then piled them up.
It took more than ten minutes for all the wood to be piled up.
The pig-headed captain with a brown birthmark on his forehead looked at his results with satisfaction. Suddenly, the ground began to shake.
"What's going on?"
The pig-headed captain with a brown birthmark on his forehead quickly stretched out his hand to support the wall, with a look of surprise on his face.
Some gravel on the ground rolled, making a tinkling sound.
The shaking became more and more violent, and he could no longer stand still. The pig-headed captain with a brown birthmark on his forehead chose to sit down directly.
The earthquake lasted for half a minute this time, longer than yesterday.
As far as earthquakes are concerned, the force is too small.
The pig-headed captain with a brown birthmark on his forehead had encountered earthquakes in the forest before, and the power was very scary.
The earthquake at that time directly changed the topography. Now the ground is shaking, which makes people unable to stand steadily. In many places, the change is not big.
No, speaking of changes, there is one place where the changes are very obvious.
The pig-headed captain with a brown birthmark on his forehead thought of the crack he had seen before, and he hurried to the entrance of the cave.
Looking through the rain curtain, I looked at the bottomless cracks in the distance.
After one night, the crack has not yet been filled with rainwater.
The strange cracks revealed made people feel uneasy after seeing them. The pig-headed captain, who had a brown birthmark on his forehead, was very cautious. If it hadn't rained heavily now, he would definitely go over to investigate.
If you still find nothing, there is a high probability that you will choose to stay away from the crack.
As for this new residence, because it is a bit close to the crack, if you feel that the crack is dangerous, you will definitely find a new place to live.
…………
There was an earthquake in the morning, but it didn't happen again after that.
Because of the heavy rain, the pig-headed captain with a brown birthmark on his forehead cannot go anywhere now.
He had nothing to do in the cave except warming himself in front of the campfire.
As evening approached, less rain fell from the originally gloomy sky.
However, even though the rain has reduced, it is still not suitable for going out.
The pig-headed captain with a brown birthmark on his forehead had prepared enough food to stay in this cave for a long time.
So there is no need to go out in the wind and rain to find food just because you are worried about the lack of food.
I drank a lot of water before and now I feel like going to the toilet.
The pig-headed captain with a brown birthmark on his forehead threw a few logs into the bonfire, then got up and went to the entrance of the cave to deal with it.
"Huh?"
There seemed to be something on the lake formed by the rain in the distance, which immediately stopped the action of unbuttoning his belt.
The pig-headed captain, who had a brown birthmark on his forehead, squinted his eyes and observed carefully, and found that it was a wooden boat.
“How can anyone boat in this weather?”
"No, how come there is a boat in this place?"
The pig-headed captain with a brown birthmark on his forehead was confused and couldn't figure out why the ship appeared at this time.
Soon, he discovered a black flag on the ship.
This flag looked familiar, he seemed to have seen it somewhere.
The pig-headed captain with a brown birthmark on his forehead thought hard and finally remembered where he had seen this flag.
