My Post-Apocalyptic Shelter Levels Up Infinitely Novel! - Chapter 253
Chapter 253: Unprecedented in History, Three Disasters!
“Sure enough, the timeline of the future is ever-changing and not at all predictable! Not even by the talisman’s simulation!”
“The flood disaster really disappeared and has now been replaced by a new kind of disaster!”
Su Mo listened to the series of prompts. Looking at the new disaster warning function that appeared in the game panel, Su Mo was shocked.
The talisman’s simulation only predicted the emergence of the source energy fruit orchard. This complete change of the disaster, however, was far more outrageous; it basically reshaped the future!
The past was changed after Su Mo traveled to it personally.
The future was also changed after the system shielded him from the probing golden light.
The three timelines had now undergone huge changes thanks to Su Mo, and they were now starting to become independent of one another!
“No. If the game lets this continue by default, it would mean that the timelines may not be what I understood them to be.”
“But if it goes on like this, it won’t be my problem if the world really does fall apart!”
Various accidents occurred frequently. Su Mo did not know if the changes within these timelines were good or bad. However, regarding the situation at hand…
He had finally survived unharmed.
“After this, I should always have three to five thousand points saved up in case I encounter the golden light’s scanning again. I must have a means of defense.”
500 points saved him from being annihilated. It was truly money well spent!
Su Mo slowly exhaled all the stuffy air that had accumulated in his chest and calmed his racing heart as he shut down the game panel.
The source energy fruits were now ripe. This was a good time to harvest them.
He called Moore over. This time, they were both careful, as they were afraid that the fruits would be bruised.
They harvested the fruits from the first tree to the last. Su Mo was relieved when all the fruits were collected.
The fruit harvest was good. A total of 386 third-stage fruits, 41 second-stage fruits, and 46 first-stage fruits were harvested.
Su Mo tossed two second-stage fruits to Moore, who had worked hard and was waiting to eat the fruits, and then two more to Oreo.
Su Mo picked up a first-stage fruit and went back to the workbench on the third floor. Su Mo opened the game panel as he ate.
The sweet first-stage fruit could cleanse the body and rid it of “waste”. However, after drinking psychic energy water over a long period of time, this fruit could only be considered a snack with some minor supplementary effects.
After finishing the fruit, Su Mo’s eyes flashed, and his fear was completely swept away and replaced by a sense of confidence.
He had avoided being caught this time. So what if the golden light was targeting him?
With the system’s help, he could grow rapidly and gain enough strength to resist the golden light when it eventually returned.
After reading all the notifications, Su Mo did not rush to check his messages. He first clicked on the newly appeared disaster warning function and examined it carefully.
Its previous place was in the top right corner of the game panel, but the game panel now had a special small function that listed disaster information forecasts.
Su Mo clicked on it, and on it was displayed the so-called forecast of the three upcoming disasters.
…
[Countdown to the fourth disaster: 21 days]
[Disaster: Awakening of the “God of the Ocean”]
[Description: As the sun and moon change, as the earth rises and falls, the gods that died on the wasteland have begun to revive, summoned by the world’s power. In the current version of the game, the God of the Ocean, who was once seriously injured and forced to sleep underneath the veins of the earth, is about to “awaken”. Under the divine power of the God of the Ocean, the sea, which once covered the entire wasteland, will become a dominant force in this world again.]
[Disaster Information: Within 24 hours, all places in the wasteland will be covered by the ocean. The depth will be 18,888 meters at the eye of the ocean. Sea level will be determined based on the area’s distance from the eye of the ocean. After 108 hours, 20% of the uninhabited areas will surface and become new continents.]
[Assessment: The current location of Player “Su Mo” will be submerged by the ocean. (Sea Level: -18m).]
…
[Countdown to the fifth disaster: 24 days]
[Disaster: Foreign Race Attack]
[Description: With the advent of the ocean’s emergence, the races on land will undergo a harsh survival test, which arises not only from the ocean covering the entire wasteland, but also from the appearance of foreign races in the ocean, whose domination of the ocean will not only bring despair, but also an endless supply of marine “food”. Seize the opportunity and this can be transformed into a different kind of “welfare disaster”!]
[Disaster Information: Within 72 hours, more than 50 million members of foreign marine races will enter the wasteland. Within 108 hours, five hundred and seventy-five trillion tons of additional marine life will follow.]
…
[Countdown to the sixth disaster: 81 days]
[Disaster: Tsunami]
[Description: Rumor has it that the pulse of the “God of the Ocean” is reflected in the high and low tides of the ocean. The closer one gets to the place where the “God of the Ocean” sleeps, the more terrifying the waves will become.]
[Disaster Information: Over the course of seven days, the closer one is to the place where the God of the Ocean resides, the greater the magnitude of the tsunami.]
[Assessment: The height of the tsunami at player “Su Mo’s location: 28m, 29m, 35m, 22m, 18m…]
…
“Holy sh*t, these three disasters are getting increasingly horrible!”
“I originally thought that the flood disaster was the limit! I didn’t expect a tsunami, which is way more outrageous!”
Su Mo noticed that there were quotation marks around the words “God of the Ocean”. He took out the Sea Wave Horn, which was awarded to him during the previous airdrop reward, his eyes narrowing in thought.
The description of the Sea Wave Horn showed that the user would gain a portion of the authority of the God of the Ocean to a certain extent.
Su Mo originally thought that the God of the Ocean was just a fabricated existence, but now the God of the Ocean was actually going to be resurrected.
In addition, even before the resurrection, the God of the Ocean would bring with Him an ocean that would cover the entire wasteland!
The peak water level of the flood disaster was more than thirty meters. The third disaster here, the tsunami, exceeded even that. Here, in the basin, the tsunami’s height would reach a terrifying 35 meters!
What did 35 meters mean?
The super tsunami in Chile that left two million people homeless and swept away tens of thousands of people was only…
25 meters high!
The Ryukyu tsunami, which was the tsunami that was most clearly documented in human history, was only 85 meters high.
The Indian Ocean tsunami that had killed hundreds of thousands of people was only 10 meters high!
With this information in mind, it was obvious that this 35-meter tsunami would be devastating for the basin area!
“Even though the basin’s elevation can be considered above average, the height of the tsunami waves that will form is already terrifying. This means that the tsunami waves that occur downstream might be…”
“More than a hundred meters high!”
The impact of a tsunami that was more than a hundred meters high would be no less than the impact of a small-yield nuclear bomb.
Although he was reluctant to believe this speculation, reason told Su Mo that even the foreign races, who knew how to swim, would be crushed into mincemeat. Ships that sailed on the ocean’s surface would disintegrate in an instant.
Humans living close to the deep sea could only pray.
If they were lucky, they would be able to find a mountain several thousand meters high and hide on it. Those who were unlucky could only try to survive by migrating to this so-called new continent.
There were still eighty-one days until the tsunami struck. If Su Mo started to build a ship now, he would still have less than sixty days till the ocean flooded the continent.
Judging from the rate at which the tsunami would weaken, if Su Mo got on the ship sixty days before the tsunami and fled, he might survive!
“The situation’s changing faster than my plans can adapt. This time, the birth of the ocean is more significant. I’m afraid that even if I use the Mountain and Sea Painting Scroll card, I won’t be able to build a barrier for humans to resist the disaster.”
“I must migrate!”
“All races, including humans, must migrate to this new continent!”
Su Mo pulled out the topographic map that he had drawn after using the Mountain and Sea Painting Scroll card in the ruins of time.
Within a few seconds, Su Mo found the direction that the Tundra Shelter had migrated toward and its location, basing his search on approximate points and distances.
In this area, they would be at least 300-500 meters above sea level if the ocean flooded the continent.
Su Mo followed the direction where the deep sea was located. He only encountered mountain peaks that were above sea level at a distance of about 5,000-6,000 kilometers away.
The sea would be deeper there too, and thus the magnitude of the tsunami there would be even greater. He might not survive.
It seemed that the Tundra Shelter could only migrate to the New World!
This route … also happened to be in the direction of the basin area!
“This is a very simple middle school math problem.”
“It is a given that I will go down this path. Under the condition where I am equipped with an engine, under tailwind conditions, I can maintain a speed of about 20 knots throughout the day. The Tundra Shelter will travel up this path, under headwind conditions, and their speed should only be about 2-5 knots.”
“If I factor in the possibility of changing course midway to avoid the strong currents, then the distance between the two sides can be calculated to be approximately 15,000 kilometers.”
“One nautical mile equals 1853 meters, one knot equals 1.853 kilometers per hour, and the speed of both sides adds up to 40 kilometers per hour.”
“Fifteen thousand kilometers divided by 40 kilometers…”
Su Mo’s hands moved slightly. When he saw the data really jumping off the paper, Su Mo could not hold back the excitement in his heart. He slapped the table fiercely, suddenly standing up, his eyes full of excitement.
“I only need 15 days. When the ocean emerges, I can finally fetch my sister!”
“After fetching my sister, there is still a full 45 days for me to evacuate, and even return to the basin area. I can also pick up all the refugees in the Candlelight Shelter. I have one month’s time to escape.”
“I have… A lot of time!”
He had previously predicted that he would need twenty-five days at best and thirty to forty days at worst but, after the update, it would only take him fifteen days to cross this distance of thousands of mountains and rivers to meet up with the people living in the Tundra Shelter.
The two weeks saved could reduce many variables and increase the safety of the operation exponentially.
“I thought that the flood was a great opportunity for me to find my sister.”
“I didn’t think the game would be so understanding.”
“This ocean is full of both risks and opportunities. As long as I can fetch my sister, I can and will go everywhere!”
After repeatedly confirming that the two red lines intersected in the right place, Su Mo put away the map, returned to the sofa and sat down, clicked on all the game panel prompts, and examined all the information.
The disaster was a foregone conclusion. The next step was to check all the contents of the second version of the game and, from tomorrow, he would be able to upgrade the level of the shelter and start building a ship that could sail across the ocean…
The Destroyer!
At that point, everyone else would be on rafts and small rickety boats. Those who fared a little better could probably sail on wooden fishing boats or large sailing ships.
Meanwhile, Su Mo’s Destroyer would shock the other creatures at sea greatly.
As he was lost in thought, the information finally loaded and was displayed on screen.
