Chapter 66 The Second Cataclysm

"There are 38 hours until the second cataclysm descends."

"Please pay attention, Host, and upgrade the shelter level and defense forces as soon as possible to cope with the arrival of the second cataclysm!"

The next morning, when Li Tianran woke up from his sleep, he saw a blood-red warning message from the system interface, which was directly displayed on the ceiling.

A dozen seconds later, the blood-colored words gradually faded away.

"Even the system is reminding me that the current farm's defenses are not enough to cope with the second cataclysm…" Li Tianran muttered to himself, anticipating that the terror brought to the world by the second cataclysm would be far greater than the first.

As the shelter level continues to increase, the level of disaster brought by the cataclysm will also gradually increase.

According to Li Tianran's calculations, humanity's current technological level can only be maintained until the third cataclysm, and the existing civilization may completely collapse.

Because what the cataclysm destroys are the necessary resources for creatures on Blue Star to survive.

Food, water!

What about the third cataclysm?

Minerals? Oil? Coal?

Li Tianran didn't dare to think about it any further.

If it really came to that point, the technology of the entire Blue Star would be completely paralyzed. Without the proud driving force of technology, humans would have no advantage when facing mutant beasts!

Checking his mall points, 7,980,000!

He was only a tiny bit of points away from upgrading to a level 2 shelter. As long as the crops matured again, Li Tianran could complete the upgrade immediately.

Time to get up and cook.

Li Tianran's breakfast has always been simple: ten tea eggs and ten meat buns, plus a large bowl of millet porridge. He ate it in a few minutes and was only half full.

"What should I do today..."

After eating, Li Tianran sat at the dining table, feeling a sense of idleness.

It was not yet time to harvest the crops, and the fish fry and livestock were newly exchanged seedlings that had not yet grown. The room didn't need cleaning either…

In the past two days, because of the cult case, his spirit and body were in a state of extreme tension. Now that he suddenly relaxed, he didn't know what to do.

…

Nancheng High-Speed ​​Rail Station.

At this time, two staff members in the empty waiting hall were dozing off.

Since the world changed and mutant beasts appeared, most people have reduced their travel, hiding in their homes and waiting for the dark age to slowly pass.

The station, which used to be crowded and bustling at all times, was now deserted, with almost no one appearing.

Yuan Wen sat on a cold stainless steel chair, looking at the ticket in her hand, and then at the dead station, a bitter smile appeared on the corner of her mouth.

"This is... such a familiar scene." Yuan Wen whispered to herself, with a self-deprecating smile on her face.

Yuan Wen is not a native of Nancheng.

She was born into such a family, with a father like Yuan Zhenghong, and received extremely strict education since she was a child.

Perhaps because Yuan Zhenghong himself was a military policeman, knowing how hard and dangerous this job was, he didn't want his daughter to follow the same path, so he never supported Yuan Wen becoming a military policeman.

It's just that Yuan Wen likes this profession. She chose a police academy in college. After graduation, she rejected Yuan Zhenghong's order to let her stay with him and do clerical work. She resolutely left Handong Province and came to Nancheng, wanting to realize her ideals.

Her stubbornness angered Yuan Zhenghong.

Three years ago, when Yuan Wen rushed to Nancheng from Handong Provincial Station, no one came to see her off. She took the bullet train alone with her daily necessities.

But three years have diluted Yuan Zhenghong's anger, and he has gradually begun to accept this result.

This time, it was not that Yuan Zhenghong didn't want to see his daughter off, but because after the trial against Li Tianran ended last night, he was urgently summoned away by the provincial department, and he and Yuan Yi had already left Nancheng in the middle of the night yesterday.

And the colleagues in the Nancheng Military and Police Bureau were so busy that even the time for rest and meals was squeezed out, and it was impossible to put down their work to hold a farewell ceremony for her…

"Coming alone and leaving alone... it's no big deal, I'm used to it." Yuan Wen smiled and said to herself.

After a long silence, a low sigh sounded.

After all… it's still very sad.

In three years, she left the best time of her life here, almost dedicating everything she had, but when she was about to leave, she was still alone.

How can people not feel sad?

"Sister Yuan!"

Just then, a sudden voice rang out.

Yuan Wen looked back.

She saw two figures, one large and one small, standing at the entrance of the waiting hall, which was filled with sunlight.

Li Tianran, Hanhan.

"You...you..." Yuan Wen stood up in a panic. Since the last time they separated at the Military and Police Bureau, Li Tianran had never contacted her again. His appearance at this time surprised her very much.

Yuan Wen不动声色用手背抹了一下眼角，脸上露出一抹勉强的笑容：“你们怎么来了？”

Yuan Wen wiped the corner of her eye with the back of her hand without showing any trace, and forced a smile on her face: "Why are you here?"

"I happened to hear that you resigned, and I happened to hear that you were leaving Nancheng, and I happened to know the time of your ticket, so..." Li Tianran spread his hands, carefully considering his words, and then said decisively: "Hanhan insisted on coming, so I had to accompany her."

Hanhan rolled her eyes, glanced at Li Tianran sideways, and raised her hand to Yuan Wen and said, "I'm reporting, Big Brother specifically called that poker-face brother to ask for the time, confirming it three or four times in a row, because Big Brother was too embarrassed to call Sister Yuan..."

"Pa!"

Li Tianran took a tea egg from the lunch box in his hand, and directly stuffed one into Hanhan's mouth, and said expressionlessly: "Didn't you say you weren't full this morning? Come on, Big Brother will feed you..."

"Wu..." Hanhan's mouth was full of tea eggs, unable to speak, she could only wave her small fists to protest!

Seeing this scene, a truly happy smile appeared on Yuan Wen's face.

"Thank you for coming to see me off." Yuan Wen smiled and said, "At least, you didn't let me go alone."

"Sister Yuan hasn't eaten yet, has she?" Hanhan finally swallowed the tea egg in her mouth, trotted over, dodged the lunch box from Li Tianran's hand and handed it over: "This is Big Brother's breakfast, especially for you..."

"If you can't finish it, it's leftover." Li Tianran interrupted Hanhan extremely decisively: "See if it suits your taste, if you don't like it, it doesn't matter if you throw it away."

Hanhan frowned.

She really couldn't understand why Li Tianran clearly felt sorry for Yuan Wen and cared about her, but when the words came to his mouth, they made people feel cold!

Hanhan still doesn't understand at this time that there is a kind of creature called "straight man" in this world. This kind of creature usually says things in front of women that are completely different from what they think in their hearts because of their "dignity" as men.

A few days ago, Li Tianran had said sharp words to Yuan Wen at the Military and Police Bureau, and it would definitely be very embarrassing to meet again at this time. Li Tianran was afraid that his kindness would be rejected or ignored by Yuan Wen, and he would lose face.

Therefore, he had to pretend to be indifferent and cold first, so that even if Yuan Wen threw his kindness on the ground, he could maintain his dignity.

This approach is actually very naive, but it is already the best way Li Tianran can think of.

"Silly boy..." Hanhan shook her head helplessly.
