But he didn't expect that within a few days, the news that Ning Tianhua was going to Night City would reach Zhao Yue's ears.
Zhao Yue himself didn't look very surprised.
Because before Ning Tianhua left for Night City, news broke that Ning Tianhua had received news from Dawn Sanctuary.
"It seems that Mu Taiqing told him something."
There are only a few well-known shelters in the country at present, so if Mu Taiqing wants to attract more people to come in and help, there is no problem.
After all, this is a matter involving everyone's life. On this issue, the interests of most people are absolutely the same.
Not long after, Ning Tianhua came.
As the leader of the Central Plains, Zhao Yue naturally had to receive him well, but what he didn't expect was that Ning Tianhua went directly to Zhao Yue.
"Let's not say any polite words."
“Just tell me if sea level rise is real?”
Ning Tianhua stared at Zhao Yue with burning eyes.
"Yes." Zhao Yue's expression remained unchanged and he nodded naturally.
Looking at the man with no powers at all, Zhao Yue's eyes flickered slightly.
If Ning Tianhua were replaced by himself, he would never be where he is now in the last days.
He admired Ning Tianhua.
After hearing Zhao Yue's exact answer, Ning Tianhua's cheeks twitched slightly, but he still maintained his composure.
"When I heard the news from Dawn Sanctuary, I thought they were joking." Ning Tianhua said with a bitter smile.
It turned out to be true.
"I heard from Mu Taiqing that you cooperated with him?"
"What cooperation?"
Ning Tianhua asked.
Zhao Yue's expression was calm, and judging from his attitude, he didn't intend to reply.
"Okay, I may know." Ning Tianhua seemed to have guessed something, sighed, turned and left.
As for whether Ning Tianhua's guess was true, Zhao Yue had no way of knowing.
Seeing Ning Tianhua leaving, the banquet was hurriedly dismissed before it even started.
In the next month, Zhao Yue's body experienced several life-and-death battles without any feedback.
So far, Zhao Yue has not even reached the entry level in planetary cultivation.
"It's difficult to break through just having a theory." Zhao Yue sighed slightly.
In this month, he has experienced more than ten life-and-death battles, one every two days on average.
But even so, Zhao Yue still couldn't get started.
He couldn't help but wonder if it was a structural difference between humans and Pan-Asian civilization creatures.
It is not impossible to conjecture that there is no response to planet-level cultivation.
But after all, these are just my own speculations without evidence.
After thinking about it, Zhao Yue gritted his teeth and decided to let the main body continue the life and death battle.
Now that we have reached this point, we can only take a gamble.
The situation across the country suddenly calmed down, and everyone was surprised to find that none of the five major shelters had any special news recently. They were as quiet as a pool of stagnant water.
Time continued to pass for another eight months, and the Dawn Organization, which had been silent for a long time, suddenly broke out a shocking news.
Dawn Sanctuary has developed an initial anti-nuclear contamination agent.
The potency of this agent remains to effectively remove 10% of nuclear contamination in the body.
As soon as the news came out, everyone was shocked. There was actually a breakthrough!
Although it is only a small 10%, it also gives everyone hope.
Perhaps one day, people living on the ground will no longer have to worry about nuclear pollution.
"10%?" Zhao Yue sat on the soft chair.
The development of Dawn Sanctuary was progressing faster than he expected, but there was still a long way to go before it could be completely eliminated.
The countdown to sea level rise has also come to two months.
During this period, clues were discovered in many shelters, the sea level has risen a lot, and many land masses are being eroded.
Although clues were discovered, no one would have thought that in two months, the entire planet would be completely submerged by sea water.
After all, the idea is too scary.
Dawn shelter, like a closet-sized glass incubator.
Several researchers in white coats paid attention to the changes in the instrument values.
"How about it?"
"any progress?"
Yu Shanzong walked in and said seriously.
"So far, the trial has been successful."
"The baby's physical signs are normal in all aspects and there are no signs of infection." The researcher reported the work seriously.
"That's good." Yu Shanzong breathed a sigh of relief and looked at the two sleeping babies, his eyes filled with unspeakable complexity.
Qishan Village, safe house.
As the time for the sea level to rise approaches, Zhao Yue almost doesn't stay in Night City anymore, and often comes to the safe house to accompany his family and friends.
Li Xuan and Li Guanghui, father and son, have remained the same. Fighting and scolding each other are their daily routine, and they live a very comfortable life.
Zhao Yue did not inform them of the rising sea level, just hoping that they could live happily.
"Son, it's time to eat. If you didn't want to eat, I would really hate to make braised pork ribs." Wang Wen's complaining voice came from the kitchen.
Zhao Yue smiled: "Mom, as I said, the supplies will last us a long time. You won't be able to eat them all in your lifetime, so don't save."
"If there's any shortage at the back, I'll have some sent over."
"You kid, you don't have enough food now, so save it." Wang Wen gave him a dissatisfied look.
Zhao Yue just smiled without explaining.
At a table, Zhao Yue, Zhao Yixiong, Wang Wen, Lan Bingxu, Li Xuan, Li Guanghui, and Sha Peng were sitting at the table.
Everyone raised their glasses and drank.
Wang Wen glanced at Zhao Yixiong quietly and said bitterly: "This kid has become more and more outrageous recently."
"Since I came back a few months ago, I have been spending a lot of money on food and drink."
Zhao Yixiong was stunned: "Is there any?"
After hearing this, Wang Wen turned away and said, forget it, it was all in vain.
After three drinks, the group put down their glasses and left one by one.
Li Xuan is not stupid. He has long seen the changes in Zhao Yue in the past few months.
But he didn't say that as a friend, he knew Zhao Yue very well.
Since Zhao Yue didn't take the initiative to say it, he naturally didn't want to say it, so Li Xuan didn't ask any more questions.
In the garden, Zhao Yue and Zhao Yixiong sat at the white round table, looking at the stars in the night sky.
"Dad, tell me, if a huge disaster comes and everyone will die, what will you do?"
Perhaps because of the drunkenness, both father and son's faces were red.
"It's not like we haven't experienced this before."
"Don't think too much." As a father, Zhao Yixiong raised Zhao Yue from childhood to adulthood. You can't see the changes in Zhao Yue in a few months.
"Actually, when I was in G city, I asked myself a question."
"What should I do if one day the end comes?"
"I was still young at that time. I thought about it for a long time. The more I thought about it, the more frightened I became. I felt that if the doomsday came, I would definitely not be able to survive."
"I didn't expect that at this age, a person would really encounter the end."
"And he was captured and imprisoned for research."
"Your mother and I were in the cell at that time, being pricked with needles every day and doing human experiments."
"The human spirit is getting worse day by day, but the two of us never thought that one day we would die."
"Because your mother and I have never thought about getting out alive. Death to us is just a matter of tomorrow or the day after tomorrow."
"I saw that your mother was not in good condition at the time, so I told her, guess how our son is doing now?"
"Don't tell me the result. From that day on, every time the two of us returned to the cell, in the dark environment, your mother would be there guessing what you were like today? What will happen to you tomorrow?"
"Normally, I always find your mother nagging, but during that time in the cell, I never felt that your mother was nagging."
"Originally, I thought that she and I would end our lives in this dark cell."
"I didn't expect the result until one day I saw you appearing at the door of the cell."
Zhao Yixiong was talking to himself, maybe because he was drunk, and his words were a little illogical.
But Zhao Yue listened with great interest and asked a question from time to time.
What should I do if Zhao Yixiong didn’t say the end was coming?
But Zhao Yue understood what he meant.
