The Witch's Taste

Chapter 297

When the starship left the atmosphere, Chen Ziang looked down through the porthole again.

I saw that the planet Gaotianhara below was rapidly changing towards the direction of hell - two-thirds of the surface was covered by raised volcanic ash.

It is conceivable that soon there will not be any white left on this planet, and all the frozen soil and snowfields will probably turn into a charcoal purgatory.

Of course, geothermal eruptions cannot cover all of the earth's surface.In the future, the Bakht Group will re-establish mining sites here, and it will definitely be able to protect the survival of some human residents.

But for the vast majority of residents, their fate seems to be doomed.

A large number of painful sobbing sounds could be heard in the cabin outside.

If the people who left Takamagahara before were just happy and frightened to have escaped rebirth, then the people who saw Takamagahara falling into hell at this time were dominated by some kind of great fear and sadness.

This land that raised our ancestors, our fathers, and us...

...Since then, it has ceased to exist.

We don't have a home anymore.

Returning to the Forever flagship and settling down this group of residents, Chen Ziang came to the bridge command room and saw Tsukimiya Suzuna teaching Tenjoin and Hana:
"You don't have to believe whatever they say! What do you mean by 'letting us take advantage'? How much are their broken ships worth? They sell them at a discount of [-]% and no one wants them!"

"What's wrong?" Chen Ziang asked.

"One of the ship owners said that they don't have to return the ship." Suzuna Tsukimiya said impatiently, "I want to convert it into shares and invest in our fleet."

"I guess they saw the destruction of Gao Tianyuan and expected that the star port would soon lose value, so they wanted to run away with us." Chen Ziang replied.

"You want to run away, why did you go there so early?" Suzuna Tsukimiya said dissatisfiedly, "The contract has been signed, and now you want to go back on your word, how dare you get involved in my ship? If you sell their broken ships as scrap metal, all of them can be Is it worth a fraction of the price of the Forever?”

"Just refuse." Chen Ziang waved his hand, "The last group of people has arrived. Let's discuss the next plan."

Xia Zili and Xia Qingyu also came in. Tsukimiya Suzuna originally wanted to act coquettishly, but she had no choice but to give up when she saw this.

...It doesn't matter, after boarding my ship, I will have many ways to deal with you in the future.

"Let's make a summary first." Tsukimiya Suzuna said with a smile.

The capacity limit of the Forever is about 3600 million people. Of course, it is actually impossible to transport people according to the limit. Some space must be left for other reserves.

There are currently about 1200 million people on board the ship, mainly due to insufficient carrying capacity. If it had not signed an agreement with the star port ship owners, I am afraid that even 1000 million people would not be able to be saved in the end.

However, the quality of these 1200 million people is very high, not to mention the military and civil servants, but also university professors, technical experts, etc. All occupations that take more than ten years to cultivate are basically the same.

In terms of racial ratio, the mainland people and the island people are almost 1:1.Since those who board the ship are basically bringing their families with them, the age and gender ratio is also very healthy, which is completely enough to form a society of its own.

Not only that, the supplies he carries are also sufficient.In addition to the mountains of canned food, there are also hydroponic crop production lines suitable for space environments, food processors, etc. It is expected that it can last for about three months without supplies, even if it means sailing to Aegelaos to replenish it. It's more than enough.

Of course, compared to the favorable material conditions, the spiritual aspect is already in a mess.

For most people, the house they are still paying off is gone, the car they just bought is gone, the job they have worked for for many years is gone, as well as all the colleagues and friends they have known for so many years... Generally speaking, it is In addition to the knowledge learned in the past half of life, all the rest of the accumulation was burned with the explosion of Takamagahara.

Where to go next?What to do?What kind of fate will it have?Don't know anything.

According to the observation and surveillance of the ship's Zeta, half of the 1200 million people were in a daze, and the other half suffered from various collapses, including but not limited to hysterical crying, crazy smoking, drinking, playing games with the opposite sex, and questioning the officers and soldiers on the ship. Ask for cigarettes and alcohol.Obviously, at this time, most people have entered a state of "confused thinking".If you want to do something to win over people's hearts, now is the best time.

"Well." Chen Ziang thought for a moment and said, "Morale is indeed a big problem. If nothing is done, self-destructive tendencies will soon become popular. As for this propaganda work, I think it can be handed over To Xia..."

"I'll do it." Xia Qingyu said suddenly.

"...Well, leave it to Xia Qingyu." Chen Ziang was a little embarrassed, because this thing is about affinity, so he originally wanted Kiritani Maki to hold a concert or something, which would definitely be very effective in boosting morale.

However, it is rare for Xia Qingyu to take the initiative to ask for help, but it is not easy to reject it rashly, otherwise she will be completely ruined in the future - this woman is not Suzuna and Zili, and needs to be treated with caution.

Everyone discussed other matters for a while, and then dispersed and left.

------

To accommodate 1200 million people, if Datongpu was not built, just preparing separate rooms for each household would be a huge project.

However, the Forever is possessed by the Zeta family of metallic beings. Zeta can manipulate metal atoms to move freely through electromagnetic force, just like a child kneading plasticine, so this aspect is not a problem.As for beds, bedding, etc., they have to be counted and distributed by the warehouse, so not all of them have been completed yet.

Chen Ziang has a special status. Of course, he doesn't have to get daily necessities like ordinary people. The room has been decorated long ago. The conditions are similar to those in a hotel, and even better than his home in Gunma District.

My younger sister, Chen Xiaozhu, was sitting on a chair, facing the porthole next to her - it was said to be a porthole, but in fact it was just a display screen, showing the universe and the stars outside in real time.

"I'm back." Chen Ziang said to his sister.

Chen Xiaozhu did not answer, but it seemed that his mood was stable and there were no signs of homesickness or sadness.

Although it had been expected before, the disillusionment shown by the people on the ship after losing their home far exceeded Chen Ziang's expectation. Now he can only hope that Xia Qingyu's propaganda work will be effective... Huh?

and many more.

Is it really okay for Xia Qingyu to come here for publicity?With her style, she might just set up a shipboard radio to give a "motivational speech", and her first sentence might even be "You are all rubbish"...

Chen Ziang was horrified and quickly turned around and left the door to see what Xia Qingyu was promoting.

After about ten minutes, a cheerful voice suddenly sounded outside:

"Senior, I'm off work~ How are you and your sister-chan living? Do you want to go to my room and have a look..."

Tsukimiya Suzuna opened the door and saw Chen Xiaozhu sitting alone on a chair. There was no one in the room.

Yes, no one.

There's nothing under the bed, and there's nothing in the closet.

Let me just say, how could senior avoid me on purpose? It must be because he hasn't come back yet due to something.

Tsukimiya Suzuna turned around and was about to ask Xiaozhu "Where is your brother?" when she suddenly heard a clear voice from outside:
"Chen Zi'ang, have you had dinner? I brought it to you..."

The door was opened from the outside again, and as soon as Xia Zili walked in carrying a lunch box, her eyes met Tsukimiya Suzuna.

The room was silent for almost half a minute, and Chen Xiaozhu finally spoke up for a rare moment:
"Go out and fight."
