I can find treasures in my dreams.
Chapter 498 Snow on the North Island, Poisonous Ant Disaster
Sangzhou country.
The so-called "Sangzhou Kingdom" was originally the northern island of the Cherry Blossom Kingdom.
According to the Treaty of Pingjing signed between the Pioneer Alliance and the Sakura people, Beidao gained independence and formed the Sangzhou Kingdom with some surrounding small islands.
After the devastating tsunami, less than a million residents of the original Cherry Blossom Island remained, and they were all relocated back to the other three islands of the Cherry Blossom Principality.
As a country under the trusteeship of the Great Xia, the official language of Sangzhou is the Great Xia language, and all place names have been changed to names that the Great Xia people are accustomed to.
For example, Ishihara, formerly the largest city in the northern island, has now been renamed Kuwaji City and is temporarily designated as the capital of Kuwaji Province.
In the past two weeks, Great Xia has quietly launched an immigration program for the Kingdom of Sangzhou.
To date, as many as 150,000 people from the Great Xia have migrated to the Sangzhou Kingdom, and more than five million more will move there in the coming years.
Meng Yuchen was one of the people from Daxia who had moved here.
At this moment.
Inside a hot spring hotel in Sangzi City.
Meng Yuchen and his newlywed wife Napatan were enjoying a relaxing soak in the hot spring.
He is Meng Xiaochuan's cousin. Meng Xiaochuan accepted a mission from the Ministry of Education to go on a business trip to the Kingdom of Antai, where he ended up having a relationship with an Antai flight attendant by chance.
Meng Yuchen was quite shocked when he heard about this. Later, he begged An Tai's sister-in-law to introduce him to an An Tai flight attendant, and Napatan became his girlfriend.
Later, the two were deeply in love for a while. Every time, Napatan would fly over on his own initiative, and he would pay for most of the hotel expenses and give her gifts from time to time.
Meng Yuchen had never experienced anything like this before, and he was quickly won over by the flight attendant An Tai. Ten days ago, the two officially registered their marriage.
As the saying goes, "good things come in pairs," and Meng Yuchen recently successfully joined Tianxing Agriculture, the company he had always dreamed of, becoming a member of this world-class new agricultural enterprise.
The position he was hired for had one requirement: because Tianxing Agriculture had decided to enter Sangzhou, he had to be stationed there for at least ten years.
However, this position also has an additional benefit—it can help introduce foreign girlfriends, and if they get married, it can also help resolve the nationality issue.
Simply put, as long as a foreign wife has two children, she can obtain Chinese citizenship ahead of schedule.
This is much faster than the conventional "having three children".
Therefore, Meng Yuchen applied for the overseas posting without hesitation and successfully received the job offer. Two days ago, he arrived in Sangzhou with his newlywed wife and settled in.
Since there was no accommodation available at the moment, Tianxing Company booked a hotel for its employees to stay there for a month.
The Great Xia Engineering Corps is building infrastructure on a large scale on the North Island, including a large number of residential buildings, one of which is the exclusive staff housing for Tianxing Agriculture.
"...To date, more than 360 volcanoes have erupted globally, with a cumulative total of over 1000 billion tons of volcanic ash entering the atmosphere."
"Volcanic ash scatters and emits sunlight, causing a sharp reduction in solar radiation reaching the surface of the planet Azure."
The voice of a female host came from the television next to the hot spring pool.
The two figures in the pool weren't watching TV; instead, they were intertwined and making inexplicable movements.
"Wow~"
Rhythmic waves rippled across the water's surface.
Newlyweds are in the honeymoon phase, and it's perfectly normal for a little bit of passion to arise when they soak naked in a hot spring.
"It is expected that temperatures around the world will gradually drop below freezing over the next three days, and snowfall will reappear."
"At the same time, due to the gradual weakening of the influence of the Green Sea of Lamentation in the Primordial World on Azure Star, the cold wave disaster will most likely return within half a month."
"The good news is that because the effects of the Green Sea will be permanent, future global temperatures will be slightly higher than those caused by the cold wave disaster."
“根据大夏异能研究院的估算,未来平均气温将在零下15度到零下20度之间,白天平均温度在零下5度到10度之间,夜间则在零下25度到30度之间。
"By then, global volcanic eruptions will gradually cease, and seismic activity will also tend to stop..."
at this time.
Suddenly, a scream rang out in the room.
The splashing sound of the hot spring water stopped.
After resting for a while.
"drop!"
The phone suddenly rang.
Napatan glanced at it and laughed, "The robot dog delivered the things."
Nowadays, hotels in Daxia commonly use robot dogs to deliver items to guest rooms because robot dogs are small and agile, can use stairs in emergencies, and are relatively inexpensive.
She walked to the door wearing only her underwear, revealing a large expanse of fair skin, and picked up a wooden box.
Before closing, she didn't forget to take a few pictures with her phone to use as creative material to showcase life in Daxia.
Napatan opened the wooden box and saw several kinds of fruit, dried fish and shrimp, and a few rather exquisite pastries, totaling more than ten kinds.
This is a deluxe afternoon tea set offered by the hotel.
She took out her phone and filmed a video, saying sweetly, "Honey, the benefits at your company are really enviable."
This meal package is one of the many employee benefits offered by Tianxing Agriculture Group.
Starting last month, Tianxing Agriculture began to fully implement a "24-hour work week".
That is, working four days a week, with three hours each in the morning and afternoon of each weekday, for a total of twenty-four hours.
On days off, employees can enjoy a deluxe afternoon tea set provided by the hotel.
Napatan put down her phone and clicked her tongue a few times: "Such a lavish lunch, there are very few hotels in the entire Kingdom of Antaeus that can provide it."
Meng Yuchen replied casually, "Many places in Great Xia have begun to build large-scale breeding farms, and the meat supply is no longer scarce. You can't compare Great Xia with the Kingdom of Antai."
Napatan placed the wooden box by the pool, entered the pool to continue soaking in the hot spring, and then took out food from the box and placed it on a small wooden table.
Knowing her husband loved shrimp, she peeled the shrimp, dipped them in a delicious sauce, and fed them directly to him.
Meng Yuchen doesn't have to do anything; he just needs to enjoy himself.
Napatan gazed at her husband with a smile, her eyes filled with tenderness and affection; she was clearly very happy to do this.
This Antai flight attendant—no, she should be called a former flight attendant, because she resigned after marrying Meng Yuchen and is extremely satisfied with her current life.
Da Xia offers absolute security and enviable benefits, and her husband has a very well-paid job.
She still vividly remembers the obvious envy on the faces of her relatives and friends in the Kingdom of Antai when she told them that her husband worked at Tianxing Agriculture.
Napatan's favorite thing to do is to film her daily life in Great Xia and its various cutting-edge technologies, and post them on the social networks of the Kingdom of Antai. Of course, she also makes sure to let her friends and family see them.
Every video she posts makes the people of Antai extremely envious.
"It's snowing outside!"
Meng Yuchen suddenly called out.
Napatan glanced at the large one-way mirror and immediately saw many black dots falling down.
She gave a soft "hmm": "Looks like the weather is going to get cold again."
In the past, changes in the weather would have caused her great anxiety, as they were often accompanied by devastating disasters, with countless people potentially dying.
She felt no emotional fluctuation at the moment, because for Da Xia, this was truly just a change in the weather.
Meng Yuchen sighed again: "When I was in elementary school, I read an article called 'The Snow of Beidao,' which described how romantic and peaceful Beidao was, and practically depicted Beidao as a paradise on earth."
"Back then, Daxia wasn't as developed as it is now. After reading the article, I developed a deep longing for Beidao and even thought about bringing my family to Beidao to enjoy the snow in the future."
He couldn't help but laugh as he said this: "Who knew that North Island would now become part of the Great Xia Dynasty?"
Everyone knows that Sangzhou is just a front. In a few years, a referendum will be held here, and the final result will inevitably be only one—merger into Great Xia. Napatan stuffed another piece of shrimp into her husband's mouth and expressed her opinion: "I feel that the snow on the North Island is just so-so. The snow scenery in Great Xia is much more beautiful."
She also gave an example: "During the cold wave disaster, I was still working for Royal Air Antai. One evening, I flew over the province of Da Xia Guangnan."
"Looking out the window, I saw snow-capped mountains, and the setting sun was shining down on them, turning the peaks golden. It was the most beautiful snow scene I had ever seen in my life."
Napa stated unequivocally, "I don't think the North Island has snow like this."
Looking at his wife's face, Meng Yuchen suddenly remembered a saying—everyone has a pure land they yearn for in their heart.
During his youth, he was brainwashed by advertorials, and the Pure Land he believed was Bei Dao's snow, while his wife's Pure Land was Da Xia's snow.
"Om~"
The hot spring pool suddenly trembled, and large ripples spread across the surface of the water.
Napatan muttered under her breath, "Another earthquake."
The global earthquakes are not over yet, and small aftershocks frequently occur in most parts of the world; she has become accustomed to this situation.
Moreover, this hotel uses an ultra-high strength frame structure and new materials from an extraordinary era, which are strong enough to withstand a magnitude 9 earthquake, so she was not afraid at all.
Meng Yuchen stood up from the pool: "I'm not soaking anymore! My skin will get wrinkled if I soak any longer."
Napatan quickly picked up a towel and carefully helped her husband dry off.
Meng Yuchen hugged his wife and gave her a kiss, which earned him a sweet smile in return.
He was about to speak when he suddenly heard the alarm sounding in the room.
"Woo~"
at the same time.
"Beep! Beep!"
Both of the couple's phones simultaneously emitted urgent alarms.
Meng Yuchen blurted out, "Disaster is coming!"
Napatan was a little nervous: "Is the volcano on the North Island about to erupt violently?"
The North Island already has several volcanic clusters. With the increasing activity of global tectonic plates, the volcanoes on the North Island have experienced several small-scale eruptions. Many people are worried that a large eruption like the Taefukusan volcano in Pyeonggi City may occur.
To this day, the eruption of Mount Taefuku has continued for as long as twenty days, and Pyeongkyō Castle is covered with a layer of volcanic ash.
Adding to the devastation caused by the super tsunami, the capital of the Cherry Blossom people had already become dilapidated, and the Cherry Blossom Principality was even privately discussing whether to choose a new location for its capital.
Meng Yuchen quickly picked up his phone, his pupils immediately contracting.
He saw an unexpected message: "It is expected that in twenty minutes, due to fluctuations in the spatial barrier, the ant calamity that is erupting in the Black Sand Sea of Death will appear in some parts of Azure Star. A spatial rift has appeared over your country of Sangzhou, and the ants may enter Sangzhou."
Napatan peeked out and was immediately stunned: "What kind of monster is a poisonous ant?"
But as ordinary people know, creatures in the primordial world are generally vicious and ruthless, and poisonous ants must be terrifying monsters that kill without blinking an eye.
The former flight attendant, who wasn't particularly composed to begin with, suddenly panicked: "Honey, what should we do?"
Meng Yuchen hugged his wife tightly, his face calm: "Don't worry! The country has definitely made preparations. We just need to strictly follow the disaster relief guidelines."
Napatan was somewhat calmed by her husband's composure: "Okay."
Meng Yuchen began instructing his wife: "Bring me my smart glasses; they're more convenient for browsing information."
The "smart glasses" he mentioned are a low-end version of metal neural smart glasses, priced at a whopping 6 yuan.
Tianxing Company, with its deep pockets, directly purchased a large quantity and distributed one to each employee.
Napata said "Oh," and immediately found her husband's smart glasses.
Meng Yuchen put on his glasses, instantly verified his identity, and a series of information immediately appeared in his field of vision.
The first point made him frown: "Please be aware that most Black Sand Sea ants have a strong sense of life, so gatherings of people can easily attract Black Sand Sea ants. Therefore, it is recommended to find a hiding place nearby and avoid gathering with others."
Meng Yuchen couldn't help but curse, "Holy crap!"
The hotel is located in a place where people gather, so if poisonous ants appear nearby, the probability of them coming to the hotel is very high.
The problem is, he and his wife are completely unfamiliar with the city, so where can they hide?
He asked the AI through the metal neural network: "Disaster Relief Guardian, my wife and I want to find a quiet place to take shelter nearby. Do you have any recommendations?"
The Daxia disaster relief system has undergone several iterations and updates, and now it fully utilizes super intelligent AI, possessing very powerful guidance capabilities and able to provide "customized" response solutions for each individual's situation.
The "disaster relief guardian" he mentioned is the name of the intelligent AI.
The voice just fell.
Napatan cried out in alarm, her voice filled with fear: "Honey, what's going on outside?"
Upon hearing the sound, Meng Yuchen looked over and immediately saw that the sky, which had been somewhat dim, had turned a yellowish-brown color.
In the distance, one can vaguely see what appears to be a continuous, towering mountain range.
"Woo~"
Even through the well-sealed windows, you could still hear a somewhat mournful sound of the wind.
Meng Yuchen's heart skipped a beat, and he instantly realized that something very bad was about to happen.
He moved his lips, intending to ask the AI.
His pupils twitched, a flash of utter horror passing through them.
Because he saw a message: "We're sorry, your network connection has been interrupted."
Meng Yuchen knew that since the Tower of Babel network went online, there had never been a network outage in the world, unless electronic devices ran out of power.
But now, the impossible has actually happened before his eyes.
*
More than 4,000 kilometers away.
Kunlun Yaochi Base.
Yang Fan was in the same room with Zhao Xiaoying, pointing out to her how to better train her internal energy.
The two had already engaged in intimate relations the previous night, so the long-legged girl made no attempt to hide it. She was only wearing a tight-fitting outfit, which clearly revealed her perfect curves.
The way this girl is dressed might not be entirely without a seductive intent.
Yang Fan gazed at Zhao Xiaoying and spoke eloquently: "Each warrior has a different physique and different soul qualities, so the internal energy they cultivate will be more or less different."
The long-legged girl asked a question out of curiosity: "Jing Gang is the power generated by a strong physique, so why is it related to the soul?"
Yang Fan corrected him, "It seems you have a slight problem with your understanding of supernatural power. The body and soul are not opposites, but rather two sides of the same coin."
He thought for a moment, then smiled and said, "Let me give you an example."
Yang Fan reached out a hand and placed it on Zhao Xiaoying's shoulder, saying, "Open your mind."
The long-legged girl took a light breath and said, "Okay."
Yang Fan's eyes flickered, and his lips moved slightly.
Zhao Xiaoying exclaimed in surprise, a blush rising to her cheeks.
Because she clearly felt her lips being kissed, and the feeling was very real.
However, in reality, the two did not kiss.
Zhao Xiaoying said thoughtfully, "I think I understand."
Yang Fan smiled slightly, about to speak, when he suddenly turned his head to look east, his expression changing drastically: "Something's wrong!" (End of Chapter)
