518. The end is coming(1/2)

Just like that, the end has come.
At first, it was just a volcanic eruption that no one cared about, but when people came to their senses, the whole world had been occupied by various natural disasters.
Drought, floods, tornadoes, earthquakes, tsunamis, meteorites, acid rain, hail...
Various disasters that only occurred once in a hundred or even a thousand years are now gathering together, taking turns in just one year, destroying the entire world.
During this process, the heaven and earth howled, all life was devastated, hell became a reality, and the post-apocalyptic era began.
A year ago, the total population of the Sorcerous Republic was nearly 50 billion, but now, the remaining population that can be counted is less than 5 billion.
.....
Pandora City, as the capital of the Sorcerous Republic, this holy city is still extremely prosperous even in this post-apocalyptic era. Even in this short year, this already huge city has expanded by dozens of times.
times.
On the outskirts of the original old city, satellite cities connected to it have sprung up. However, after all, it is a city built in a hurry, and it inevitably has many problems. The most obvious one is probably these new ones.
The buildings in the satellite city are really too dense.
The rows of towering residential buildings are neat and uniform, as if someone pressed copy on the computer and directly copied countless copies of the same template, and then filled these satellite cities with them.
Urban planning, green life, and all the things that cities in the old era should have no longer exist in these satellite cities. Everything here is only to satisfy one purpose, which is the most basic survival.
If you look down at these satellite cities from a high altitude, you will find that these so-called residential buildings are more like "pigeon nests", or more like lifeless tombstones.
"No matter how many times I see this scenery, it still looks lifeless."
Hela stood on the balcony, looking up at the sky that was very dark because of the volcanic ash, and it was difficult to see the sun, and then she couldn't help but complain like this.
"Of course, it's the end of the world after all."
My sister Agatha, who was busy in the room, heard her sister sighing and said a little sadly.
However, the little girl soon readjusted her mentality, and then smiled and enlightened her older sister, who had always been a little depressed.
"At least we can still see the sunshine and enjoy the breeze occasionally, right? This is much happier than those who are assigned to underground shelters, where the sun really never shines."
"That's true."
After stopping her sister's consolation, Hela nodded, somewhat agreeing.
Not all cities are strong enough to stand firm under these successive natural disasters. In fact, there were originally thousands of cities in the Sorcerous Republic, but now there are only ten cities of various sizes left.
Those ten cities were originally the most prosperous first-tier cities in the Sorcerous Republic in the past. The city construction was very complete and all kinds of defense facilities were complete. Even the end of the world would be difficult to destroy these top-level cities that had formed their own system.
After the doomsday comes, countless small town refugees who have lost their homes naturally converge towards these ten giant cities.
In order to accommodate these refugees, satellite cities of various sizes were built around these giant cities.
But even though these satellite cities have abandoned all non-essential facilities and all the space is used to house people, there is still not enough space. After all, it is really difficult to cram 5 billion people into just ten cities.
Therefore, being forced to have no choice but to dig deeper, the major cities began to dig downwards, and countless underground shelters were built, barely giving everyone a place to stay.
Although these small residential buildings, which are as small as pigeon cages and look like tombstones as a whole, are often complained about, happiness really comes from contrast. When I think of those "soil poachers" who are really "buried" in underground shelters, they are often criticized.
Rats" and "caged pigeons" suddenly felt a sense of enigmatic superiority in their hearts.
The only problem is....
"It's so cold."
The biting cold wind blew by, and Hela shivered, then tightened her coat and walked back into the house.
"It doesn't matter if the wind doesn't blow, it's actually not good at all."
It would be fine if it was a normal wind blowing on your face, but in this horrible weather where volcanic ash blocks the sky and the temperature plummets all over the world, wind is not a good thing.
Even though the strong wind that could have blown the thin man away had been greatly reduced by the weakening of the windbreak wall outside the city, the biting chill in the wind was still unbearable.
Thinking about it this way, it seems that the "groundhogs" living underground are actually living more comfortably.
"Okay, sister, it's time to eat."
At this time, Agatha in the room also finished breakfast, she greeted her sister and said.
"Well, what are you going to eat today? Well, it's Huhu again."
Hela, who had just been hit by the cold wind and was rubbing her hands to breathe, walked to the dining table. The original meal time should have been relatively happy, but when she saw the two bowls of white lake on the table, she was really uninterested.
After that, his face suddenly crossed.
"It's a liquid nutrition meal, okay, actually it can be considered a lake."
Agatha corrected her sister, but the little girl looked at the two bowls of unappetizing huhu herself, with a hint of disgust on her face.
But there is no way. Who said it was the end of the world? Food resources are not sufficient to begin with. Under such circumstances, it is already very difficult for everyone to have food to eat. As for eating well, then don’t
Think about it.
"Thank you, Prime Minister, for your gift, so that we don't have to endure hunger."
Agatha reached out and clenched her fist, lightly punched her chest three times, and then prayed like this.
"You are really pious. Don't you think it's troublesome to do this before every meal?"
Hela looked at her sister's movements, blinked her eyes full of dark circles, and then yawned, feeling this way.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Although she did have to admit that although everyone now eats twice a day, at least they do not have to go hungry thanks to the man who just took office a year ago.
Prime Minister of.
The new Prime Minister took office at the beginning of the end, and the investiture ceremony at that time was also the last celebration of the Sorcerous Republic.
But this Prime Minister is indeed very capable.
As soon as she came to power, she established the Ten Giant Cities as the center, requiring all the resources of the Sorcerous Republic to be concentrated in the Ten Giant Cities as much as possible. She also established a food priority strategy, requiring each major city to vigorously build underground ecological farms, and must ensure that
Food security, but also...
In short, those inexplicable strategies caused an uproar throughout the Magic Republic. Many people thought that the Prime Minister might be a fool who didn't understand anything, and they were clamoring for her to step down.
But now, when the doomsday has really come, people look back on the past and realize that the Prime Minister's decree is really superfluous. It is these policies that were criticized by everyone at the beginning that now maintain everyone's survival.
Moreover, in this post-apocalyptic era, people are always insecure. They need a belief to place their hope, and the prime minister who saved everyone's lives is a good choice.
"The Prime Minister is not only the Prime Minister, she is also the Great Pope of our Mechanicus. It is absolutely right to believe in her."
Agatha explained her sister's complaints like this. When she mentioned the Prime Minister, the little girl's eyes lit up.
"hehe..."
In response, Hela just smiled and said nothing. She lowered her head and started to drink the bowl of Huhu in front of her.
Well, even though it seems to be cheap, it's actually not unpleasant to drink. Even if you don't drink it every day, you'll be a little tired of it. This thing can even be considered delicious.
And just like its famous name "fluid nutrition meal", this thing is indeed nutritionally balanced. After one bowl, people with small appetites will not feel hungry throughout the day.
"By the way, Agatha, how have you been at work lately? Are you not too tired?"
Hela thought of something and asked.
In this post-apocalyptic era, there are no resources to support idle people. Everyone has to work. Even the sister opposite has just grown up, but she has also been assigned a job. As the older sister, she feels it is necessary to care about her younger sister's work.
.
"It's okay. I just grow vegetables on the farm. It's not as hard as my sister, moving bricks at the construction site."
The little girl shook her head and said that she was fine, but it was her sister who had worked hard.
"I'm actually pretty good at it. I quite like my current job."
Hela smiled when she heard about her sister's relationship. She stretched out her hand and rubbed her sister's head to comfort her.
In this way, in this kind of sisterly filial piety, the two sisters finished drinking the lake together, then simply cleaned up and prepared to go to work.
only......
"Huh, acting is so damn tiring. Fortunately, this cheap sister didn't notice my flaws."
As soon as she went out, the originally soft and weak Agatha breathed a sigh of relief. She looked around nervously, and when she saw that no one was looking at her, she turned around and went into a small alley nearby.
Then, a magically dressed girl wearing a neat green uniform rode a jet broomstick and flew quickly towards the central city of Pandora in the distance.
As she flew closer to the city, many girls in magic costumes who were also wearing green uniforms greeted her respectfully when they saw her.
"Hello, Agatha-senpai."
To be continued...
