End of the World Cycle

After putting on tight self-heating warm clothes, Xie Qin directly put on a diving suit. After setting off, Xie Qin felt that the rain was heavy. Before they had driven a few dozen meters, the water in the raft was nearly 20 centimeters. The speed of the drainage outlet could not keep up with the rainfall. At this rate, he estimated that he would not be able to reach the port, let alone halfway.

After searching in the space for a while, he finally found a tube, tied it to the handle of the kayak, lowered the outlet as low as possible, sucked with his mouth, and let go only after water started to come out.

With the help of the pipe, the water accumulation was finally controlled to a certain extent, and the water level basically did not exceed ten centimeters. We arrived at the port safely. After a mental detection, there was no living creature in the port except the fish in the water, let alone people.

Xie Qin stood on a pile of containers that were not yet submerged. She glanced at the container doors and was afraid that if they were all opened, they would not be able to keep out the rain. So she took out a dagger and cut a narrow entrance in the top container with her bare hands that was suitable for her height.

The container was filled with stuff, all cartons. Xie Qin took a look and saw that they were all clothes. She didn't pick and choose and put them all in. In an instant, the originally full container was empty.

After a simple tidying up and debugging of the equipment, he found the prepared steel cable from the space and fixed it to the bottom of the container. The steel cable weighing thousands of pounds did not feel heavy at all in Xie Qin's hand. He turned on the navigation on his phone, put it in a waterproof bag, turned his back and went directly into the water. This was Xie Qin's first time for deep diving. Although he had watched many teaching videos and knew how to operate it, it was his first time in the water.

When she first entered the water, the huge pressure made her feel uncomfortable, but she quickly adapted. This port was huge, with hundreds of thousands of containers alone. The water was a bit turbid, and she couldn't see what was ahead, so Xie Qin had no choice but to sink to the bottom, holding the steel cable and slowly moving forward following the navigation.

Xie Qin collected all the containers he saw into the space. No matter what they were, he couldn't open them underwater to check. Because they were for sea transportation, the containers were waterproofed. Even though they had been in the water for several days, there should be no damage inside.

An oxygen cylinder can stay underwater for about an hour. After going up and down for nearly ten times, Xie Qin received nearly three thousand containers.

It was already dark, and the container I had opened up earlier was fortunately still about three meters above the water level. I took a shower in the container, changed into a loose T-shirt and glutinous rice pants, and finally relaxed. I tidied up and took out a fried shrimp lunch box from the space and placed it on the small table.

I made a pot of flower tea and ate it with the meal. The dim camping lights in the container were on, and the heavy rain hitting the container was particularly loud. I put on earplugs and got into the tent to have a good sleep. When I woke up after getting enough rest, it was already 10 o'clock in the morning of the next day.

The water level was only about half a meter away from the container. It seemed that we couldn't stay here tonight. After putting on his raincoat, Xie Qin climbed onto the top of the container and looked around. There was a taller container to the west, and hundreds of cranes weighing up to 500 tons along the coastline.

Although the crane is high, there is no other place to shelter from the rain except the cockpit, which is really inconvenient. Seeing the crane seemed to remind me of something, and I entered my own space and looked up. It seemed that there was no end to it. So could I take this crane away?

Thinking of this, Xie Qin drove the raft directly to the nearest crane. After reaching out to touch the crane, the crane disappeared instantly. Looking at the space again, the crane was indeed placed neatly in his space. Xie Qin was happy. This would definitely help him build his own base later.

It took nearly four hours to load all 120 cranes, and the system was immediately heard.

[Beep Beep Beep---60,000 tons of construction tools detected, 60 million reward points, unlock hidden branch mission (collect 5,000 pieces of furniture) Mission reward system produces a three-ton small submarine. ]

She really needed a submarine. A small one, basically enough to travel around the city without any restrictions. It would be very convenient to collect the hundreds of thousands of containers at the port if it moved quickly.

[Small Castle. Open the mall and search for submarines.]

[The mall is open, and the following models of ordinary submarines are searched for you. Large submarines with a displacement of 2000 tons are worth 1000 billion points, medium submarines with a displacement of 500 tons are worth 80 billion points, small submarines with a displacement of tons are worth billion points, and pocket submarines with a displacement of tons are worth billion points.]

[It’s so expensive... What’s the difference between the system rewards and these? ]

[The submarines you can buy are all existing ones, which are diesel-electric submarines with conventional power. The system rewards you with nuclear-powered submarines, which do not rely on air and can stay underwater longer. They are smaller and more flexible, and are more useful to you now.]

[Isn't it possible to buy system rewards myself? 】

[Yes, the system rewards are all produced independently by our Skynet production system. Because the production volume is small, it is only issued as a reward. ]

Without hesitation, Xie Qin looked at the map. Several large furniture stores in Dongyue City were very far away. The closest one was IKEA in the west, which was about 15 kilometers away. Xie Qin looked at the sea and saw only large cargo ships. The smaller ships or yachts he had seen before were washed away to unknown places.

Xie Qin looked at his dashboard and saw that he now had 120 million points, which was enough to start the next main mission.

[Xiaobao, what is the second main task? ]

[Master, the second main task is to recruit 500 initial personnel for the base. Master, do you want to start it? ]

[No need, Xiaobao, open the points redemption panel and search for yachts. ]

【Received, Master! Xiaobao introduces the current yacht models. 36-foot small yacht oil-electric hybrid, equipped with a three-level wind and wave safety system, one single bedroom, the price is 55 million points. 80-foot medium-sized yacht oil-electric hybrid, equipped with a five-level wind and wave safety system, one double bedroom, one bathroom, one kitchen and one dining room, the price is million points. -foot large yacht oil-electric hybrid, equipped with an eight-level wind and wave safety system, one single bedroom, one double bedroom, one kitchen and one bathroom, one terrace, the price is million points. Master, you can also purchase the optional facilities of the yacht frame. 】

Xie Qin took a look and found that the model and supporting facilities could be selected by themselves, and the price of each size was different. Xie Qin directly clicked on the self-selection option.

[40-foot frame, hybrid system, optional -level wind and wave positioning safety system, one single bedroom and one bathroom. ]

[Received! Director, the total is 38 million points, please confirm the purchase.]

【confirm. 】

Instantly, a yacht appeared in the water in front of Xie Qin. Its white and blue color scheme was no different from other yachts. However, Xie Qin's mental power could sense that the yacht seemed to be protected by a transparent protective cover. Even though the waves were huge, the yacht seemed to be unaffected in the water.

After entering the yacht, Xie Qin finally understood what this wind and wave safety system was. Simply put, this yacht was in such a rough sea, but the inside was as stable as if it was on the ground. The sharp rain hitting the hull only made a slight white noise, which sounded very comfortable.

After reading the operation instructions, Xie Qin got started right away. This yacht was surprisingly easier to drive than a car. It took less than 20 minutes to travel 18 kilometers on the water.

IKEA is next to a huge shopping mall and there are residential communities around it, but the buildings are not high and the terrain is very low, so all the residents in the surrounding areas have moved away.

Entering IKEA from the top floor, the four-story building was basically flooded. The fourth floor was filled with carpets and bedding, and many of the things floating on the water were stored directly in the space by Xie Qin.

After putting on the diving equipment, I went downstairs. The third floor was full of soft furnishings, all soaked in water. Fortunately, the water was not as turbid as the seaside, and it was clear under the high-intensity light. Regardless of whether it was good or bad, I collected all of them, hoping that they could be used again after being exposed to the sun.

Slowly going down, we finally reached the warehouse on the underground first floor. The warehouse was nearly ten meters high. It was filled with furniture bound together with wooden strips. Although it was soaked in water, most of them were in waterproof bags. It should not have been soaked in just a few days. Xie Qin pulled the shelves to pack up the five thousand square meters of warehouse very quickly. Before the oxygen cylinders were used up, they were all put into the space.

[Beep Beep Beep - Congratulations to the owner for completing the side quest. The quest reward has been sent to your space, please check it. ]

Xie Qin, who had just come up, was taking a shower in the yacht when he received the message from Xiaobao. He looked into the space and saw an oval submarine next to the container. The submarine was not big, about three meters high, three meters wide, and five meters long. It was about the size of a truck.

Compared to ordinary submarines, it is quite small. After taking out the space and entering, Xie Qin realized the meaning of what Xiaobao often said to her (system products must be top-notch).

This submarine can dive for 60 days after replenishing its raw materials, and it only costs points to purchase raw materials from the mall. This means that as long as you want, living in the water is not a problem.

Moreover, this submarine has its own defense and attack systems. Xie Qin used 30% of his strength to hit the submarine's hatch, but the strength turned back to his own hands. This was the first time that Xie Qin lost in terms of strength after gaining strength abilities.

The quality is really good. It seems that I need to do more side quests in the future.

[Xiaobao, can I buy the defense system separately?] Xie Qin knew that she would be away from home very often during this period. Now that it was the end of the world, her home was safe, but when these people ran out of food and supplies, they would always start with the people closest to them.

[Yes, master~ The security system is divided into 1~10 levels. Level 1 is 2 points, level 3 is 4 points, level 20 is 5 points, level 50 is points, level is points... Level is billion points. The safety range can be automatically set within meters.]

[So expensive? Why is the safety level of the yacht I selected so cheap? ]

[Because this is produced by the system, there is an internal price. It will be more expensive if you buy it separately. But master, if you just want to defend against ordinary smashing and chopping, the third-level security system is enough. The fifth-level defense system can resist guns. ]

[I understand. I will purchase a five-level security system, and select the 100-square-meter house where my mother and brother currently live.]

【Received! It has been set up successfully for you. 】

After entering the submarine, Xie Qin returned to the port. With the submarine, it was very convenient to load the remaining containers at the port. In two days, when Xie Qin felt tired and hungry, he returned to the surface and lived in the yacht. After a good rest, he entered the submarine and went into the water to collect containers.

On the fourth day, Xie Qin had to go back. She and her mother were only going to be away for three or four days, so she should report back that she was safe. There were still two-thirds of containers at the port, so she would have to stay here for about a week next time.

Four days ago, many people saw Xie Qin going out in a kayak, and everyone mocked him for going out in such cold weather and rain, which was a death wish. In the past few days, some people were bored and paid attention to Xie Qin, but they didn't see him coming back, and they thought he died outside.

Even the property management came to knock on the door and asked Zhang Mingfang, but Zhang Mingfang just said that she hadn't brought something important with her and her daughter went to get it. After saying that it was nothing, no one asked any more questions.

This time, Xie Qin came back in a luxurious yacht, feeling clean and refreshed. For a moment, I was a little envious of Xie Qin who could move freely in the flooded city.

The water had already reached the seventh floor. Thinking that he had to go out tomorrow, Xie Qin threw the anchor directly into the window on the eighth floor that had not been closed in time, and went straight home.

Zhang Mingfang saw the yacht from a distance as soon as it sounded. Although she couldn't see who was driving the boat, she knew it was her daughter. She quickly started cooking, and Xie Ran also sat in the living room obediently to peel grapefruit for her sister.

As soon as Xie Qin entered the door, she saw her busy mother and brother, and she couldn't help but smile. Others might not understand what was so happy about this, but the mother and her two children had been dependent on each other for so many years. It seemed that she was very happy that the family lived a carefree and ordinary life.

In her previous life, she wanted to be a superior person, so she did stupid things again and again and finally lost her life. In this life, Xie Qin thought that she should either be so high-profile that no one dared to make a move on her, or so low-profile that no one would even remember her.

However, this time, he had thrown out the news of the end of the world in advance, disrupting everything that had been predicted by all the reborn people, as well as everything written in the book, and severely damaging the power of those people. Even if someone coveted his power, it shouldn't be that serious.

Now that she had the system, she had to build an impenetrable fortress for herself and her family before true despair came.
