NOVEL WEB Chapter 308: A Great Catastrophe Is Coming.
"Is it really all destroyed?"
Yuan Buping's voice was low with some melancholy, perhaps he was the most distressed person, as he was the chief commander in building the Heavenly Palace. He had poured a great deal of affection and energy into this new home, and now it was gone, he felt as if he had lost a wife.
"Yeah."
Chen Miao's expression, however, was not too turbulent as he nodded lightly, "It's okay, we'll just find a new home after a while."
He definitely wouldn't want the Heavenly Palace that had been washed and soaked in urine, but he could sell it later for a good price. There were several of his clones in the Heavenly Palace that he mistook for Parus.
He also needed to find an opportunity to let them demonstrate their worth, otherwise, once the Heavenly Palace was sold, these Parus, who could only move within the territory of the Heavenly Palace, would lose their usefulness and their purpose.
An hour and a half ago.
He had thought of many methods, but without exception, none had the possibility of being implemented. In the end, he could only wait silently for the base to be inundated by the floodwaters. Although the situation was somewhat sad, he fortunately didn't let it defeat him.
As he said before, not everything has a solution.
It's just that this time, the situation might be worse than he imagined.
...
As time flowed day by day.
Soon, 60 of the 72 hours mandated by the Federal Government had passed, and despite countless efforts, they could not accurately locate the entity of the black hole in the high sky deep within The Land of Extreme Cold in reality.
It was as if the entity did not exist on Blue Star at all.
Nowhere to be found.
Not just the south, but nearly every city and village within human-occupied territories had been turned upside down by the Federal Government, still to no avail. With only 12 hours left, they had entered the final warning state.
The floodwaters emerging from The Land of Extreme Cold were increasing, and at its deepest points underwater, it had already reached 11 meters. Several cities near The Land of Extreme Cold, including the well-known Zhenba City, were also submerged.
Although the tallest structures were not yet flooded, they weren't much better off with time passing by.
According to the announcement, this flood would submerge the highest points on Blue Star, meaning that even those on the tallest mountains could not escape the disaster. There was no running away.
The flood was certain to come.
Once this was confirmed.
In the last 12 hours, the Federal Government directed local governments to safely and orderly cram everyone into "Death 79 Days," an F-grade Secret Realm, regardless of whether they were the elderly, children, pregnant women, Lifestyle Occupation workers, or Supernatural Occupation workers—all were shoved in indiscriminately.
Those from society with exceptionally high value were given some preferential treatment, being placed in the same Secret Realm with some high-level Supernaturals. As for the vast majority of the rest, they were randomly assigned to various Secret Realms.
It was all down to luck.
Maybe in your Secret Realm, out of 99 others, all are high-level Supernaturals.
In that case, the odds of survival would be higher, but this was virtually impossible. After all, anyone over level 20 were considered rare resources, and the Federal Government would not place all these individuals in one Secret Realm. That would be a waste of talent.
So, you just need to pray that there's a high-level Supernatural in your Secret Realm. If you're lucky, you'll have a great leader to follow; if you're unlucky and only have low-level Supernaturals, there's at least a chance to survive.
And if you're really out of luck and end up with only Lifestyle Occupation workers in your Secret Realm, without a single Supernatural Occupation worker.
Then you really might as well wait for death.
You'll be out of options, and not even Jesus can save you.
```
It's all fate.
This grand operation, named the "Human Great Migration" by the Federal Government, was, from a certain perspective, a true great migration, as all humanity was to be moved into the secret realm.
Under the coordination of AI big data, the plan was executed with extreme efficiency.
But who knew how many out of the nearly ten billion people would come out alive after entering?
...
Even at this moment, everyone still held onto a sliver of hope, thinking perhaps the black hole could be resolved soon. Many were reluctant to be among the first to enter, opting to apply for the last batch instead.
If one were to enter now and the crisis were somehow resolved, then it would be suffering 79 days of punishment for nothing.
Many held onto this thought.
Including Chen Miao.
However... as the countdown reached the final fifteen minutes.
Standing atop a tall building in the south, Chen Miao finally gave up, sighed softly, and looked down upon this extraordinarily quiet city that was made so due to the population transfer, feeling rather desolate.
The Federal Government had tried everything, and he had tried his best too.
Everyone considered the "79 Days of Death" a last resort, no one believed this secret realm would actually be used; it was just a global event, solutions were bound to be found.
After all, this global event provided a hint for the solution, one just needed to find the physical entrance to this hole in reality.
But still...
In the last fifteen minutes before the countdown ended, there were still no solutions. Thus, at this time, most of the Federal Government had already entered the secret realm; only a few who were not yet ready to give up were prepared to enter at the very last moment.
Local governments had begun to move all movable assets into the secret realm.
The great disaster was coming.
...
Chen Miao stood silently on the edge of the rooftop, lighting a cigarette. Directly below him was the Secret Realm Building, and standing silently behind him were Hungry Monkey and others, perhaps seeing their civilized society for the last time.
Upon their return from the secret realm,
who knew what this planet would have become.
In another three minutes, the deluge would arrive, and within a few short hours, massive floods would submerge the highest point on Blue Star, leaving no place to escape.
Looking into the distance, scattered figures could be seen on the rooftops of the city's tall buildings. These people had opted not to go to the secret realm; either they were too old or they felt that they would die in the secret realm anyway, preferring to die in their hometown.
They would rather die in their own home than in a secret realm.
The bitter scent of urine faintly wafted in the air, reminding everyone that the great flood was imminent!
He flicked his unfinished cigarette to the ground below and headed towards the security door at the back with Hungry Monkey and others, ready to enter the secret realm. In fact, they would be safe in Heavenly Palace, which was equipped with a pressure-resistant barrier that could withstand being submerged.
But... he personally couldn't accept being soaked in urine for seventy-seven days.
It was a form of torture.
Otherwise, he wouldn't have evacuated those from the base; staying there, they certainly wouldn't perish in a hurry, but without food reserves, they wouldn't survive the 77 days. Stay tuned to empire
