Chapter 149 Ark Advancement

After experiencing a flood, the wind and rain have slowed down. Everyone in the shelter has their own duties. Zhang Shi is not idle either. He counts the supplies with Lao Bai and considers the next plan.

The sudden flood caused Zhang Shi to suffer heavy losses, but fortunately most of the important supplies were taken away. Even if they are exhausted, the more than 300 people on the Ark can survive for a long time. Wu Qing quickly planned an area on the deck, built a nursery with wood, spread high-quality soil in the nursery, and transplanted all the high-quality crops taken away to the ship.

The livestock and poultry in the shelter were also received by Zhang Shi in the White Tiger Space at a critical moment and escaped.

After such a long period of breeding, the livestock has become large-scale. The original few single seedlings have also grown and reproduced with the blessing of various BUFFs, which can provide some meat, eggs and milk for everyone in the shelter. For this reason, Zhang Shi also specially cleaned out the bottom cabin as a breeding space.

The craftsmen's smelting and manufacturing are still proceeding in an orderly manner, but Zhang Shi is not sure when the flood will recede, so he specifically asked Gong Yi to make some fishing and hunting tools. If the wilderness world really becomes a water world in the future, they can also rely on these tools to catch fish and survive longer.

Zhang Shi stopped recruiting in all barracks and stables. On the one hand, there is no hidden danger of foreign enemies for the time being, and on the other hand, Zhang Shi cannot support too many people.

So far, although everyone was forced to leave the shelter, everything is still moving in a good direction. Zhang Shi is confident that even if the environment changes, he can still lead everyone to live well.

…

On the fifth day of the rainstorm disaster, there was still a violent storm outside. Although the rain was not as violent as yesterday, it showed no sign of stopping. There was chaotic black water everywhere around, and the ark drifted aimlessly in the ocean, not knowing the direction.

The props Zhang Shi received after signing in turned out to be two small landing craft. According to the system's sign-in rules, Zhang Shi had a bad feeling in his heart, guessing that the flood might not recede in a short time, and the wilderness world might really turn into a water world.

Because the shelter was abandoned, the Ark where Zhang Shi was located was identified by the system as a new shelter. The territory control module also automatically recognized and merged with the Ark, making it more convenient and quick for Zhang Shi to operate.

Because the interior space of the Ark is large, the craftsmen participated in the planning, and all the spaces were fully utilized. From the canteen to the public activity area, to the bathroom and dormitory, the entire Ark has a large space and complete facilities. With the help of the farmer module and the light of the giant sunflower, crops can also grow as usual. It can be said that everyone's life is just a change of residence, and other aspects are no different from in the shelter.

Zhang Shi only glanced at the regional channel when he was free.

As expected, the survivors suffered heavy casualties. After the impact of the flood, the original 100,000 people in the division were less than half. The chat channel was filled with lamentations. The efforts of countless survivors for many days were destroyed. Once they returned to the time before liberation, the survivors either floated on a small boat or found a place with higher terrain to hide.

However, no matter which method they used, they all faced the same dilemma - insufficient resources.

Most survivors did not have large vehicles such as the Ark. They could not take away too many resources with just the grids in the system backpack. Therefore, the survivors who had survived in the wilderness for a month were facing the dilemma of food shortage. In the trading market, a piece of bread had been sold at a price of 1 gold coin. Despite this, it was still in short supply. The reason was that there were too few channels for obtaining food at the current stage. Many people were eating up all the food they had, and it would not take long for it to be consumed. Many survivors were prepared to stock up in advance in order to survive longer.

Against this background, the Alliance of Light, which had been silent for a long time, re-emerged and began to recruit people in the regional channel. Their slogan is: as long as you join the alliance and work for the alliance, you can be taken into the alliance shelter without any threshold and be protected. The alliance will provide food and a stable residence for every member, and there is no need to worry about the flood.

Upon hearing this news, many survivors were full of enthusiasm and took the initiative to ask for membership. Some smarter people also indirectly questioned the position of the Bright Alliance and the confidence to do so.

Finally, Liu Yu personally appeared and explained to everyone the current environment of the Bright Alliance.

It turned out that their headquarters was set up on the top of a high mountain, with a drop of up to a thousand meters from the ground. As early as a few days before the rainstorm disaster, Liu Yu had the foresight to transfer all the alliance members to the headquarters, retaining the living force to the maximum extent. Based on the lessons of the previous zombie raid, he arranged a large number of defensive measures and built the headquarters into a survival base. Without his permission, no survivor could come in quietly. This is also his basic plate for regaining hegemony after the flood reshuffle.

After learning that the Bright Alliance had a survival base that almost ignored the flood, many survivors began to get restless and chatted privately with Liu Yu frantically, boasting about themselves to the sky, fearing that they would be rejected.

Zhang Shi did not expect Liu Yu to act so quickly. He took action the day after the flood arrived. It seemed that he had been prepared for a long time.

"This Liu Yu is really capable."

Zhang Shi had a high opinion of Liu Yu. What he didn't know was that Liu Yu also obtained a large number of barracks and continued to recruit soldiers every day. This was one of the reasons why he dared to be the first to come forward. Even if there was an insider who exposed the location of the base, with a large number of troops, those other forces that came to the door would not be opponents.

Zhang Shi turned off the chat channel and realized that he had to work harder. Thinking of his title and refreshing the CD, Zhang Shi decisively chose to upgrade the Ark.

"Swish!"

The upgrade scene this time was particularly eye-catching. The sky was full of pink light covering the Ark, and the people on the ship were so bright that they couldn't even open their eyes.

After a full ten seconds, the Ark completed the upgrade and evolved into a divine artifact-level prop in one fell swoop. The hull became larger, almost as large as two aircraft carriers, and the shelter was a bit empty for more than 300 people. Most importantly, the power system of the Ark changed from the original wind sail to the engine, and the fuel consumed was unlimited. As long as it was a resource that could provide heat, it could be used as fuel supply. What Zhang Shi lacked the most in his home was various types of coal ores and charcoal. The resources he had accumulated were enough for the Ark to sail on the water world for many years.

What surprised Zhang Shi was that the side of the Ark was actually equipped with gun ports, as if it had really turned into an aircraft carrier. With the giant cannon in his hand, the Ark even had the ability to attack.
