As Mike walked along, the security personnel and servants in the corridor stood upright when they saw General Mike, saluting expectantly.
Several security personnel could not suppress their excitement and said: "General Mike, I heard that the sea level has dropped. Is it true?"
"General Mike, can we go out now?"
"General, can we leave this shelter?"
Everyone's eyes were full of expectation, and their once numb eyes became radiant.
They usually don't dare to talk to other big shots, but General Mike is the only approachable member of the Jishi Society. He will talk and laugh with them in private, and occasionally give them some uneaten food, and even give it to them in a
When the maid's child was sick, she secretly sent a box of expensive medicine.
At this moment, these servants could not suppress their excitement, hoping to get answers from Mike.
Mike smiled and said seriously: "Everyone, I promise here that as long as it is true that the sea level has dropped, as long as there is a glimmer of hope, I will try to let you out."
Rockefeller Building, top floor conference room.
A meeting to decide the fate of 100 million people is being held.
"boom!"
General Mike kicked open the door and ran in with a hurried expression.
Everyone has already sat down. Before Mike could sit down, he could not wait to say in a deep voice: "The global sea level has dropped, right?"
"Haha, Mike, don't worry." The old man smiled and then pressed the button: "Everyone, let's take a look."
"Whoosh!"
As the button is pressed, the glass curtain wall surrounding the hall instantly turns into a display screen. Looking around, there is an endless expanse of sea water.
And at this time.
The waves that had been raging for a year have subsided, and the entire ocean is quietly retreating like a tired giant beast.
Revealing the silt-covered land beneath.
The dark clouds parted, and the warm sunshine poured down, making Mike unable to move his eyes, as if he was inside it.
Everyone's breathing quickened.
"Everyone, this is the holographic picture captured by the camera we installed on the top of the Rocky Mountains." The old man said calmly: "As you can see, the sea level has dropped, but the sea water has still receded."
For a while.
"Haha, great!" Mike laughed excitedly: "Everyone, our home is back! Our land is back!"
"Everyone, we can go out!"
"We can finally get out of this underground shelter that never sees the light of day!"
But, no one spoke.
Except for General Mike, other family representatives, including the old man, all looked at the receding sea water on the screen with complicated expressions. There was no joy on their faces when they should have been happy, but instead they looked a little irritable.
"What's wrong?" Mike was stunned, and then sighed: "I know that you are really worried that this land washed by the sea has become unable to grow crops and has become an uninhabited saline-alkali land."
“But it’s precisely because we completely gave up on this land that it became like this!”
"We need to compensate this land for our actions."
"We can think of ways to cultivate plants that can be grown in saline-alkali lands, and we can think of ways to heal this land. By the way, the Europeans must also have this need, and we can work with them to study how to restore the land."
"With the combination of our technological capabilities, I can believe that we can make this land livable again!"
"Although it may be difficult, at least we still have hope!"
Mike's eyes were filled with heat!
But all the family representatives did not respond, but looked at General Mike with puzzled eyes, as if wondering why General Mike was so happy?
In the end, the old man who was the leader sighed: "But what about our interests?"
As soon as these words came out.
Other members of the Jishihui also nodded in agreement with ugly expressions: "Yes, we can make huge profits in this underground shelter."
"Everyone here works for us. We only need two bottles of water and a piece of bread to completely control a person. We don't even need to pay! If we let them go, where will we find such cheap workers?"
"That's right," the woman from the Wal-Mart family took a sip of red wine and frowned: "During this period, the sales of my Wal-Mart family have been a hundred times higher than before. A bottle of fresh water with a filter membrane that costs just a few cents can be sold.
For hundreds of dollars, our profits have more than doubled!"
"Here, we can completely control their destiny. We are the masters here!" When the person in charge of Monsanto said this, he couldn't help it anymore. He smashed the cup and gritted his teeth to look at the receding sea water and the exposed land.
, said angrily: "How can this sea water recede? If it recedes, how can we still make profits! They don't even need to pay for the beds!"
"That's right! Without the sea water, it will be safe outside, and those under our control can leave here!"
"They stay here and work hard for us unconditionally every month. They don't even have time to rest, just for the simplest food and water! Even just a bed, they have to pay hundreds of dollars every month!"
"How can we make money if they go out?"
"Why was this damn god completely killed by Daxia?"
For a moment, everyone cursed angrily, as if the retreat of the sea water was the biggest disaster!
Daxia, who killed the gods, became the biggest enemy of the Free Country!
Mike was stunned for a moment. He never expected that these people would be so crazy!
When disaster strikes, they are overjoyed, but when disaster passes, they are so angry!
While everyone was happy to be able to leave this murky, humid, sunless underground, they were furious.
"No," Mike organized his words and said in a deep voice: "We can't just think like this, we must also consider our homeland and our people!"
"They can obviously bathe in the sunshine outside, organize dinners on the lawn, and eat cheap but delicious barbecue with friends, but they can't stay in this dark underground..."
Before Mike could finish speaking.
"That's none of our business!" Mr. Roosevelt said coldly: "Do you know why they live comfortably when they go out?"
"It's because of that vast land!"
"They can build their own houses, they can grow their own crops, they can raise their own cattle and sheep!"
"We, at most, sell some seeds, building materials, and feed to make a profit from them!"
"And here, they depend on us for everything!"
"In other words, the reason why they live so comfortably outside is because we are footing the bill!"
Mr. Morgan on the side also smiled and said: "Yes, I didn't feel so uncomfortable when I was outside before, but now, since entering the underground shelter and feeling how much benefit those people can provide us,
Only then did I realize...how unfair the outside world is to us!"
"We could have made bigger profits!"
"And outside, we can't do it at all! It's because of that damn vast land that raised us!"
"Those poor people, without spending any money, can breathe the same fresh air as us, stand under the same sky as us, enjoy the blue sky with us, and drink the same water as us."
"If we want to seek benefits from them, we have to hide them and use various means to harvest them in a subtle way."
"But here...the class gap does not need to be concealed!"
"If they want to breathe fresh air, they have to spend money! If they want to drink clean water, they have to spend money! If they want to bask in the sun on an artificial beach, they have to spend money!"
"We don't need to hide, we don't need to harvest with cover! Because we control their destiny!"
"Here, they are our property! They are our property and our people mine! How can we let them leave!"
