Ten minutes was a short time, but for the base cities on the Russian border, it felt like a century had passed. The streets of the major base cities were still in a state of panic. Cries and shouts of anger were heard continuously.
In the northern base city of Russia, all the higher-ups had taken most of the members to hide in the relic and closed the space entrance.
In the relic, the people on the streets were scattered, but there was no sound at all. It was dead silent, and the depressing atmosphere was like a big stone, piling up in everyone's heart.
Phew!
Phew!
There were slightly trembling breathing sounds, and everyone was frightened, as if they were afraid of disturbing something, waiting for the final countdown.
Nine points, eight points, seven points …
Compared to the dead silence of the entire relic, in the base city outside, the sound of mountains collapsing and the earth cracking could already be heard. All the people who had yet to enter the relic were like ants on a hot pan. In their confusion and panic, they heard the roaring of countless torrents and could not help but raise their heads in horror.
That one look was suffocating.
In the distance, at the end of the world, a white straight line was gradually expanding, surging with an overwhelming momentum. The waves were hundreds of feet high, and all the dilapidated buildings along the way were destroyed without any suspense. Behind the waves, there were a few black shadows, which were the Dragon Whales!
Those dragon whales were playing in the waves, rolling up layers of water and rushing over.
Boom!
The city walls of the base city were like paper, and they were broken through in an unstoppable manner. The seawater flooded into the city, and in the blink of an eye, the entire base city was submerged, and all the buildings were destroyed.
"Ah, ah …"
"Run …"
Everyone opened their eyes wide, and as if they had gone crazy, they turned around and ran for their lives, but in the blink of an eye, they were sucked into the flood and became food for the sea beasts inside.
"The countdown is over."
In the relic, the bell stopped ringing.
The entire street of the relic was silent, as if the end of the world had come.
In the China Base City, Guang Ming Base City in China, the people on the street were retreating quickly. Because they were prepared in advance, they were not too panicked at this juncture. They had all retreated into the relic early, leaving only one entrance to observe the situation outside.
Inside the tower of the base city, there was no one there. Waste paper fluttered in the wind on the streets.
In the center of the city of Atlantis, in the Temple of Light, a shadow was projected, hanging upside down over the city. On the shadow was a flood rushing from afar, destroying the city. The power of nature made everyone tremble, and they felt powerless to resist.
Everyone looked on with trepidation. There was silence, and they felt that the heavy atmosphere made it difficult for them to breathe.
A series of cold and cheerless chimes spread throughout the city through the loudspeakers. It was like the grim reaper announcing the arrival of the flood.
Silence!
Silence!
The whole world, except for this apocalyptic flood, was dead silent. Behind the gloomy clouds, there seemed to be a pair of eyes indifferently watching the land.
In the City of Light Base.
Everyone was nervous. They looked at the video transmitters installed in the Russian base cities and found that the flood had submerged and destroyed several major base cities in Russia. The video became blurry and there was no signal.
When the world was flooded, it would usher in a new era: the Ice Age!
The bell was ringing …
Everyone prayed silently …
In all major regions of the world, the sea level rose sharply, breaking through the coast and submerging many countries at the bottom of the sea. In the face of the power of nature, human strength seemed small and insignificant.
The Eiffel Tower in Paris, the Sydney Opera House in Australia, the Statue of Liberty in New York …
The buildings and cultures of the entire continent became history. They were destroyed by the flood and sank to the bottom of the sea.
The streets of the Guang Ming Base City were deserted. About half an hour after Russia was submerged, the roar of the flood came from afar. It was earth-shattering, and layers of white waves swept across. It was definitely a wonder of the world. Even the tide of the Qiantang River was child's play in front of it.
Boom!
The city walls collapsed, and the sea water flowed in. The base city was immediately submerged and destroyed. The blue sea water rose and submerged the towering city walls. Many sea monsters followed the current and swept past the base city.
When Ye Chen heard the final countdown, he guessed that the outside should have been submerged. He did not linger, but called for Xu Tianguo and ordered, "Get everyone to maintain order and count the population of the base city.
In addition, send trusted aides to the granary to count the food. Let the White Dragon and the rest be under my supervision. No one is allowed to hide anything! "
Xu Tianguo knew the desperate situation they were about to face. He nodded solemnly and turned to leave.
Following which, the entire ancient martial arts civilization fell into a state of reorganization.
Ye Chen went to his resting place and logged into the virtual battle tower. Due to the isolation of the plane, the communication device could not be transmitted. Therefore, he could only use the virtual battle tower.
The virtual world's construction was special. It could be connected even in different planes.
Within Yan Huang City.
Shua!
A man in black appeared out of thin air. He looked around coldly and saw that the streets were empty. At this time, no one would have the mood to cultivate in the virtual world.
Ye Chen muttered three times in his heart. Very quickly, a white light gathered beside him and turned into a beautiful girl. Her clothes were white as snow, and she looked like a fairy. It was Elvis.
"How is China Base City?" Ye Chen asked.
Elvis saw Ye Chen and was a little happy. She said, "Everything is fine in the base city. Little Snow is reorganizing. How about you guys? No one was hurt, right?"
"Mm."
Ye Chen nodded. After pondering for a while, he told Elvis about the construction of the virtual world. He said, "Now, the virtual world is the bridge between the various base cities. These things can be built in advance."
Elvis tilted her head and said, "Why do you want to build these training centers?"
Ye Chen shrugged and said, "This flood has flooded the entire world. It won't recede for two to three years. We won't be able to hunt outside for a long time. However, we can't neglect our battle skills. This virtual world is the only place where we can move around. Otherwise, being locked in a small ruin for a long time will trigger the violence and frustration in people, leading to riots in the base city."
Elvis spread out her hands and said, "Alright, it's just some procedures. Piece of cake."
Ye Chen nodded and said, "I have something to do first. I'll look for you next time. During this period, the base city will be a little chaotic. You can help Murong Xue with the management."
Elvis was a little reluctant. Her eyes were like water as she looked at him with hidden bitterness. She said, "You're always in a hurry. Hmph!"
Ye Chen rubbed his nose and said, "This, I'll accompany you next time. I've been busy recently."
Elvis's eyes lit up. She said, "Really?
Alright, it's a deal! "
As a robot, she didn't hear the perfunctory tone in Ye Chen's words. She couldn't help but smile happily. She stretched out her little finger and said, "Pinky promise."
Ye Chen was stunned. He didn't know whether to laugh or cry. He said, "Pinky promise was popular in your civilization?"
Elvis shook her head and giggled. She said, "Of course not. Sister Bing Yun gave it to me."
Ye Chen couldn't help but think of the violent woman who wielded a big hammer. He helplessly shook his head. He stretched out his hand to pinky promise and directly went offline.
After Ye Chen left, Elway stood in place, tilted her head, and pondered for a while. Suddenly, her eyes lit up with a strange splendor as she said joyfully, "I got it! If I can get that thing out, he will definitely be happy. Oh, but that program design is so troublesome, oh …"
Time passed quickly.
Five days later, the reorganization of Guang Ming Base City was more or less complete. Everyone had received their assigned houses and settled down.
The upper echelons held a meeting. Ye Chen sat at the head of the table. Below him were the heads of the various departments, as well as the upper echelons of the military camp. No one dared to breathe loudly. They were much more restrained than when they were in a meeting with Xu Tianguo.
There was no other way …
To be able to reach this position, they naturally wouldn't blindly worship others like normal people. Because they didn't have much contact with Ye Chen, they didn't understand his temper. They only knew that this person had a strange personality and didn't believe in gods. He definitely wasn't a benevolent Lord. If they angered him, he could easily change their positions with a single word. They might even lose their lives.
Xu Tianguo sat next to Ye Chen and handed a lot of documents to Ye Chen. Like an assistant, he reported, "The total number of people has been calculated. There are 1,029,400 people. 302,400 of them are civilians. The total number of people from the various departments in the base city is 545,600. The rest are people from the major guilds."
Ye Chen nodded slightly. The total number of people from the various departments in the base city accounted for half of the total. This wasn't surprising because the 500,000 people included the ordinary people who worked as receptionists in the various departments.
As for the 300,000 civilians, they were people who had migrated to the base city. They didn't join any forces and relied on their own labor to hunt.
"How about the food? How long can it last the 500,000 people in the base city?" Ye Chen asked the key question.
Xu Tianguo thought for a while and said, "If we calculate based on the crops, if we have three meals a day, it can last us three months …"
"Two meals a day!" Ye Chen said coldly.
Xu Tianguo nodded and said, "If we have two meals a day, it can last us four months. In addition to the bacon, fruit trees, and other food, it can last us eight months."
Ye Chen nodded slightly and said, "From now on, the high-ranking officials in the base city are exempted from the right to enjoy free food. In addition, you are responsible for guarding the food. You can't sell it."
Hearing this, many high-ranking officials in the base city looked a bit gloomy. Usually, they could eat and drink for free in the base city. With their status, they could ask a few young ladies to spend the night. This carefree life was built on their strength. But now, even if they had the strength, they were deprived of this right!
"President …" A strong man wanted to say something.
"Yes?" Ye Chen raised his head and looked at him.
When the strong man saw this, he suddenly felt a chill all over his body. It was as if he was isolated by the whole world. He swallowed the words on the tip of his tongue. He forced a smile and didn't say anything.
