Happiness System

Chapter 93 The Stepping Stone of the Apocalypse Heroine (56)

After solving the insect plague, the base was afraid that the remaining insect eggs would multiply, so they asked the fire-type mutants to burn the outside of the cabin and even the battlefield outside. They also recruited a group of ordinary people to carry medicine and spray the road surface inside the cabin.

We originally thought that after the insect plague was over, the base would have a chance to catch its breath.

Unfortunately it backfired.

On the third day after the insect plague ended, the haze had mostly dissipated, and even the survivors of the dungeon came out to feel the 'long-lost' sunshine.

Many task forces also planned to travel around the surrounding areas, hunt some mutant animals, and dig up some edible mutant plants to improve their meals.

Before we could implement it, the alarm in the quarantine center sounded again. In less than a minute, hailstones as big as an adult's fist and as big as a head fell from the sky.

In this ice disaster, nearly a thousand people were crushed to death or trampled to death, and more than ten thousand were injured.

Although the buildings at the base were not seriously damaged, many facilities such as street lights were smashed.

For a moment, the people in the base fell into a strange atmosphere of depression and panic.

However this is just the beginning.

Just two days after the ice disaster, a black cloud floated in the distance.

As the survivors were guessing whether it was hail or rain, the base's alarm sounded again.

This black cloud is actually a large group of mutated mosquitoes, and the number is naturally calculated in billions.

Due to the huge number, the survivors are forced to live in confined spaces such as homes or offices.

In this way, this huge group of mutant mosquitoes kept hovering in the base for a long time and refused to leave.

The base tried various methods, and finally on the third day, it had no choice but to let the psychics go out to kill mosquitoes.

In a temperature of nearly 50 degrees, Qin Yunxi and his colleagues went out wearing airtight protective clothing that covered them from head to toe.

The heat is really hot, the discomfort is really uncomfortable, and the boredom is real.

They could only vent their anger on these mutant mosquitoes.

Qin Yunxi and Wen Yanbei worked together to direct the lightning through the water networks. In less than ten minutes, the dead mosquitoes had piled up to their calves.

Not to mention, even people with a keen sense of smell would feel craving for the aroma of roasted mosquitoes.

Foodies always act one step faster than others. While we were still wondering whether this mutant mosquito, which was two or three times larger than ordinary mosquitoes, was edible, someone had already run to the testing center with the mutant mosquito.

The mutated mosquitoes are indeed edible, but they require special processing and the taste is not very good.

Following the protein cakes after the last insect plague, the ordinary survivors of the dungeon had to eat black mosquito cakes.

"Bah, it's so disgusting! Damn it, all the fruits of my hard work have been given to those ants in the dungeon!"

A person with special abilities went to get a mosquito cake, took a bite and spat it out, then took out his own dry food while cursing.

After eating it, he ran out to kill mosquitoes to vent his anger. This time he even stepped on the mosquitoes a few more times on purpose.

This time it took a week to completely kill all the mosquitoes visible to the naked eye.

Just as the rain had subsided, acid rain fell, which not only caused some casualties but also polluted a lot of water resources.

This time it was Qin Yunxi who was cursing because she was caught again!

As a high-level psychic ranked in the top 50 of the Kyoto Psychic List, she does not have any human rights at all!

During the days when he acted as a faucet, Qin Yunxi had to come out and fight monsters every few days.

Except for large birds, flying insects and animals basically take turns visiting the base.

Don’t be so annoying those psychics. They don’t like to eat those insects. They are all given to those people in the dungeon!

It is difficult for them to buy food that suits their taste even with their points, so it would be more cost-effective to go out and hunt mutant animals!

For this reason, many people have suggested temporarily closing the quarantine center. There is a wave of flying insects every three days, a small earthquake every five days, or acid rain and toxic smog. It is really annoying!

But, it is easier said than done. The quarantine center cannot be opened or closed at will. The startup cost is too high and it cannot be opened!

Unless it is a matter of life and death, the base will not agree to close the quarantine center again.

After all this trouble, by the time Qin Yunxi had some free time, the second extreme cold had already arrived.

While the sea was still frozen, the Qin, Wen and Li families joined forces to go fishing.

This extreme cold also gave humans a chance to catch their breath.

Apart from the occasional wave of animals attacking the base, other natural disasters rarely occur.

Only at this time does the base have time to worry about people's livelihood issues.

You won’t know unless you do the statistics, but once you do, you’ll be shocked.

Before the end of the world, Kyoto had a population of more than 50 million, but now only less than one tenth of it remains, with less than 2 million people left!

According to preliminary statistics, Kyoto's population survival rate is already among the top three in the entire Xia Kingdom. The population of Xia Kingdom just exceeded 3.6 billion before the end of the world, but now there are less than 80 million left!

Xia Country is still relatively good. The survival rate of most of those free countries is less than one percent!

Due to this extreme cold weather, those foreigners no longer have the ability or care to fight for the territories of other countries.

In fact, there is no need for this. The second round of extreme heat and various disasters will basically affect all continents equally. Wherever you occupy, you need a safe shelter to help resist natural disasters. There is really no need to migrate.

The people at the top of the base were also a little confused when they saw the statistics: in less than two years, only 5% of the original number of people over 55 years old remained? Less than 10% of the people under 10 years old should be? The birth rate of newborns was minus 3,000%?

Is this going to break?

No, no! Absolutely not!

Having children must be encouraged!

The survivors were also a little confused!

The base pushed for the birth, after all, things have been much more stable recently, and the base has also established a special obstetrics and gynecology department and a nursery.

It can be said that as long as you can get pregnant, from the day it is confirmed, all the expenses of prenatal checkups will be borne by the base, and the base will also provide certain nutritional subsidies. Those with poor conditions can even live in the comprehensive delivery room specially arranged by the base...

but...

What does it mean to allow women of marriageable age to have multiple spouses?

Although women are unhappy about being used as reproductive tools, the base has even issued a regulation: women are not allowed to have abortions, and healthy women of childbearing age who have not become pregnant within a year will be fined...

However, the base has re-established a marriage registration center, where women can have multiple legal spouses, and after registration, 50% of the man’s income will be automatically transferred to the woman’s account.

Is it finally their turn to be so rich? !

Amidst everyone's mixed feelings of sadness and joy, on the first day the new marriage registration center opened, Qin Yunxi and Wen Yanbei were taken to register by several elders in the family.

It’s true, there were quite a few people registering, and there were even women who brought two or three men to register at the same time.

Under Wen Yanbei's warning eyes, Qin Yunxi retracted the envious saliva that was about to flow out.

Forget it, she is not fit for it!

The union of Qin Yunxi and Wen Yanbei did not cause any waves. After all, Qin Yunxi was not on the list of popular women.

She is one of the top three most ruthless and most untouchable women in the base, while Wen Yanbei is in the top ten of the high-level psychics.

There really is no one so blind as to come forward and cause trouble.

Even though both families had the ability, they did not choose to do it on a large scale.

Apart from taking out some food to feed relatives, friends and teammates, there was nothing special.

They are still very busy during this extreme cold weather.

When the third extreme heat came, even the eldest cousin's wife who had claimed to have never had children became pregnant again, but Qin Yunxi was still not pregnant.

Qin Yunxi did not feel any regrets. It was indeed not suitable to have a child at this time. She and Wen Yanbei had discussed this.

Even after the extreme heat, various insects and bugs still come frequently to deliver food.

This time the base was already quite experienced and it didn't seem hectic.

The superpowers and ordinary survivors can already tell what kind of insects are attacking from the rhythm of the alarms, and whether they should attack or hide back home...

In the fifth year of the apocalypse, the movement of the earth's crust became more and more intense.

New continents appeared in the ocean, and much of the original land sank and became oceans.

The Kyoto base paid a huge price to send a vanguard team out to explore the new continent, but in the end only fifty-two of the three thousand people survived.

Fifty people stayed in the New World to continue exploring, and the remaining two were the ones who returned and eventually survived and successfully returned to the base.

In recent years, natural disasters have become more and more frequent on this continent, with several disasters often occurring one after another, and even the time for recuperation from extreme cold has become shorter and shorter.

The population decline is becoming even more severe. The original estimated population of nearly 80 million has been reduced to only about 3 million.

In the extreme cold of the previous year, the blue planet suddenly lost weight, and even the oxygen was suddenly drained away...

After a short yet long two minutes, when gravity was restored, what returned was not oxygen but poisonous miasma.

This disaster caused the population of Xia State to drop by one third.

Qin Yunxi's grandmother and the old men of the Wen and Li families all died in this disaster.

Entering the sixth year of the apocalypse, the area twenty kilometers south of the Kyoto base has turned into sea.

Less than 10% of the entire Xia Kingdom’s territory remained, and thousands of bases were merged into ten bases.

In the second month of the extremely hot sixth year of the apocalypse, Qin Yunxi took a last look at the Kyoto base that had long since become a ruin and the dilapidated quarantine center, and got into the car without any reluctance.

Once they leave, they will say goodbye to this continent forever.

Not only them, but almost all the people in the Xia country set out for the seaside on this day. After boarding the ship, they set out to find the new continent that was said to be more suitable for human survival.

The journey of drifting on the sea route is naturally more difficult than that on land.

The mutated creatures in the ocean have no humans to suppress them, and are undoubtedly more ferocious than those on land. In addition, the weather at sea is not stable, and they often encounter huge winds and waves and need to dive.

Sometimes when they encounter wild beasts while diving in a storm, they can only shut down their kinetic energy and drift with the current. After the storm is over, the wild beasts will no longer pay attention to them, and the aircraft carrier will need to readjust its route after rising above the sea surface.

This process was repeated for a month, and all thirty aircraft carriers at the Kyoto base were dispersed.

The captain of Qin Yunxi's ship is Li Huan's father. After the storm, there was only one signal response after they sent out the signal, which means that apart from them, there is only one aircraft carrier within a radius of ten kilometers.

He smiled bitterly as he watched the signal light slowly approaching them, with only endless desolation in his heart.

Including the Kyoto base, there are a total of 200 aircraft carriers in the entire Xia Kingdom. In just one month, there were only two of their ships left nearby.

Perhaps, soon they may be left alone to fight.

Not only the captain became more silent, even Qin Yunxi, who had long been indifferent to life and death, became much quieter.

She felt like she would be leaving soon.

During this period, she tried her best to gather the relatives from several families together, and tried her best to prepare special meals for them to nourish their bodies. At the same time, she also started to move out the things in the space.

The first person to notice that something was wrong with her was naturally Wen Yanbei, her bedmate, but at this time he was more helpless than anyone else.

The fifth month of sea voyage is also the time when extreme heat and extreme cold alternate and when all marine life is at its most violent.

In a life-and-death battle, Qin Yunxi used all her water-based abilities to send the aircraft carrier away, and she blew herself up, perishing together with the giant beasts in the ocean and sky.

What she didn't know was that her force accidentally pushed the aircraft carrier to the correct direction.

The people on the aircraft carrier never knew that an aircraft carrier could travel faster than the wind. When the speed stabilized to normal sailing speed, someone saw the shadow of land in the distance.

When they confirmed that it was indeed a continent, Qin's relatives and friends cried uncontrollably.

Wen Yanbei, who was not a lively person to begin with, became even more silent. This direction was exactly opposite to their original route.

The wife sacrificed her life for everyone else's chance of survival.
