Bad News
"The alternation of day and night is a natural law, but nowadays there are only six hours of daylight."
"Yes, but I heard that the situation at the Fifth Shelter is the opposite of what we have here. There, the night is only six hours long. We're moving there tomorrow, and I hope we can be safer there."
Inside the Cao Family shelter, Cao Fengqi, in a relaxed mood, entered the front living room and heard his father and uncle talking.
"The Fengqi, come on."
Cao Jianjun saw him and smiled, gesturing in greeting.
"Uncle."
He walked over with a smile and asked, "We're migrating tomorrow. How are your preparations going, sir? Do you need any level 8 metal?"
Mining metal at the Radiant Mystic Gold is now extremely easy for him.
Mining several thousand tons a day is no problem.
"It's ready."
Cao Jianjun nodded. "Level 8 metal isn't necessary, Fengqi, don't worry about it."
"Hehe, it's nothing, sir, don't be so polite with me."
He sat down and said with a smile.
"Haha, I won't Fengqi, you're too kind."
Cao Jianjun smiled and said, "We also Fengqi your influence; we now live in the General's Family Compound."
"Generals' Family Compound?"
Cao Fengqi raised an eyebrow upon hearing this.
"Yes, it's the recently officially constructed 20,000-square-meter residential compound for generals' families, built on the foundation of Transcendent Source Metal..."
Cao Jianjun then introduced him to the man.
Cao Fengqi listened, a hint of surprise on his face.
Just as they researched artillery shells, the authorities also developed cost-effective shelters.
Transcendent Source Metal is extremely precious; even the official count of Transcendent Source Metal doesn't reach a thousand.
However, the official staff is quite large, so even if they were to build Transcendent Shelter, it wouldn't be able to accommodate too many people.
Therefore, the official team used the Transcendent Source Metal as the foundation, and installed the power system, formations, and other equipment on the solid foundation.
On top of the foundation, an ordinary Transcendent Shelter was built.
This removes the limitation of the Transcendent Source Metal's extensibility.
It can be covered up to a distance of one kilometer without any problem.
The Transcendent Source Metal extends to 3,000 square meters. 100 square meters is more than enough for a family. According to a family of four, the first floor can accommodate 120 people.
To put it simply, a 20-story building could house 2,400 people.
In this way, one Transcendent Source Metal can protect 2,400 people, and three hundred of them would be 720,000 people.
The resettlement of the families of these 720,000 people with extraordinary abilities should not be a major problem.
As for security, the remaining Transcendent Source Metal can be used to create level 9 strategic weapons.
This method is just as safe as building individual Transcendent Shelter, while also saving a lot of resources.
"This approach is somewhat similar to a movie I once watched called 'Mortal Engines.'"
Cao Fengqi thought to himself.
"Buzz!"
While chatting with the old man and the others, a message came through.
"Sister Fenghua... has a pre-relocation meeting?"
Cao Fengqi raised an eyebrow when he saw Sister Fenghua's message.
"Dad, Uncle, there's an official meeting I need to attend."
"Okay, go ahead!"
After telling his father and the others, Cao Fengqi headed straight outside.
"The changes on the official side in just two short days are huge!"
"So many skyscrapers! As expected of the official authorities, their operation is incredibly efficient!"
Cao Fengqi, sitting in his slightly outdated wheelchair, rushed to the official area.
He looked around at the changes, a look of surprise on his face.
Previously, the shelters were only five or six meters high, at most a dozen meters high, but now there are many high-rise buildings.
Some of the buildings occupy a vast area and are surrounded by arcane arrays.
Even the Transcendent Arsenal has been transformed into a large shelter that is tens of meters high.
Cao Fengqi arrived at the Transcendent Shelter of the Tianbei Governing Hall with practiced ease.
When he entered the meeting room, he saw that a group of generals had already arrived and were sitting there chatting casually.
Cao Fengqi spotted Sister Fenghua at a glance and sat down with a smile.
"Lieutenant General Cao!"
"Lieutenant General Cao."
Several generals around him also greeted him warmly.
Cao Fengqi responded with a smile to each of them.
They had met several times and were quite familiar with each other.
"Sister Fenghua, is there something important?"
Cao Fengqi looked at her and asked.
Xu Fenghua has been busy with the relocation these past few days, so I haven't bothered him to ask him to teach me swordsmanship.
"Nothing important, let's just have a brief chat about the current situation."
Xu Fenghua shook her head at him and said, "I called you over here to find out more."
"Oh? Is there any information?"
Cao Fengqi for an answer out of curiosity.
Judging from Sister Fenghua's expression, it doesn't seem to be anything good.
"This is not good news."
Xu Fenghua looked at him and said, "The Land of Dawn has been completely confirmed. It is indeed located in the Fifth Land of Shelter, but it lies along a coastline that is 100 kilometers long and 20 kilometers wide. Not only is it too close to the ocean, but even habitation is a problem."
Cao Fengqi was slightly taken aback when he heard this.
"Only 100 kilometers long and 20 kilometers wide?"
He frowned.
"Yes."
Xu Fenghua nodded, her brows also furrowed.
They had discussed the size of the Land of Dawn before.
If the Land of Dawn is relatively small, it will be extremely troublesome for humanity.
Once the eternal night descends, only the Land of Dawn will be able to cultivate that unpalatable grass, and only then can spiritual herbs and trees be grown.
It's 100 kilometers long and 20 kilometers wide, which seems like a large area, but... humans still need a huge area to grow food.
Otherwise, if they rely solely on finding food in the Lost Land, half of humanity would starve to death in less than a month!
Food is essential; without food, all order will collapse.
Cao Fengqi had experienced the migration from Liangmin County.
At that time, due to continuous torrential rain, the migration procession in Liangmin County collapsed due to lack of food.
In addition, evil spirits and beasts are rampant in the ocean, and their strength is exceptionally terrifying.
The Land of Dawn is located along the coast...
This is certainly not good news.
Cao Fengqi's face also showed a solemn expression.
Although he possesses a level 9 spirit field plate, ensuring his family will never have to worry about food again, in the face of Great Catastrophe for all humanity, no one can remain unaffected.
"This is also the last thing we want to see."
"The issues of food and the size of the Land of Dawn will trigger a series of upheavals."
Xu Fenghua showed a worried expression and said, "In addition, according to our information, the migration group from Tianzhu Country is heading towards our Fifth Land of Shelter Great Xia. Before the disaster broke out, although Tianzhu Country was not strong, they had one advantage: they had a large population."
Tianzhu Country?
Upon hearing Cao Fengqi's mind.
"It seems... we're in for some trouble."
He said softly!
