Time passed, and it was already mid-August.
Fang Ning was finally tired of surfing the net.
There was nothing fun to surf the net, so he laid down in the internet cafe like a salted fish.
The internet was no longer filled with celebrity gossip, but doomsday crisis guides.
Many survival videos started to become popular.
Bear Grylls' Man vs. Wild was an old series, and many people reposted it.
The most popular one recently was "Building a survival base from scratch".
Fang Ning watched it before, and the content was simple and rich. It used the most basic materials, wood and stone, to teach a person how to go from the Paleolithic Era to the Neolithic Era, and then to the Feudal Era …
All in all, as long as a person had a normal IQ and patience, they could learn dozens of videos from start to finish.
They could learn how to drill wood to make fire, build wooden houses, make tools, boil water, cook rice, make pottery, make bows and arrows, hunt beasts, cultivate wastelands, plant crops …
They could even learn how to smelt iron, provided they could find iron.
Other than the lack of modern medical care, and the need to pay attention to colds and fevers, they had all the basic survival skills.
These videos were full of practical knowledge, and they catered to the current needs. Once they were released, they immediately became popular, and their fans quickly exceeded ten million.
To others, these videos were necessary knowledge for survival in the future, and it was difficult to learn from books …
However, Fang Ning had no interest in it at all.
He had three bases to hide in, one in the System Space that could store food, one in the Draconic Arcane Realm that could be used for farming, and one in the Morality City that was under construction.
Moreover, he had Sir System to take over, and many powerhouses to support him, so he did not need to use these primitive survival skills.
As the saying went, "Why not eat minced meat", it was referring to people like him …
He only wanted to read the latest novels, watch the latest movies, and play the latest games.
However, all of these had already died down.
Most online games had shut down, novels had stopped updating, and standalone websites did not have any new creative games.
There was no other reason than the decrease in customer base.
The crisis was imminent, but with the Dragon God, it was not the end of the world. As long as a person worked hard, they could still be saved.
Under these circumstances, as long as one was not too heartless, how many people would still have the mood to play?
Most people needed to escape from the virtual world, return to reality, and spend most of their time preparing.
Even if he didn't have much money, he should at least move a few more boxes of instant noodles to save, right?
Although the Dragon God had said "the sky will not fall", he did not say "the sea will not rise" …
There were more and more news about the changes in the tides on the internet. The moon had not set yet, but the waves were getting higher and higher. Many coastal cities had already started to close their beaches.
When the seawater came, if they wanted to escape, they would have to buy dry rations first.
I'll buy it later. Do you want to buy 51 bowls of instant noodles?
He was afraid that he wouldn't be able to buy it when the time came.
As the saying went, when the city gate caught fire, the salted fish would be implicated.
Fang Ning was like this now. The internet connection was still there, and the electricity was still fine, but there was nothing he wanted to play or watch.
After a while, he got up out of boredom and said to a certain fellow who was practicing, "Give me the body."
System Notification: [The System has stopped seizing.]
Fang Ning was very satisfied with this, but he was also a little confused.
"Why are you so obedient today?"
"I've always been an honest and obedient system."
"You're only honest with yourself, and you only listen to yourself. You must want to borrow money from me again," Fang Ning muttered, and then he took over his body and opened his eyes to look at the world.
He walked out of the bedroom and went to the farm villa.
The air outside was very good, and the sky was blue with white clouds.
This was rarely seen in Qi City in the past.
Since the beginning of the new era, many old national enterprises had stopped production, and their manpower and capital were transferred to the new Vitality industry.
The Vitality industry may have many flaws, but there was one thing that the old industries could not compare to, and that was cleanliness and less pollution.
Fang Ning took a few breaths of fresh air in the farm, and then walked around the farm.
At this moment, a farm worker in his forties with a plain face walked towards him, a little scared.
Of course, Fang Ning was not worried that the other party had bad intentions … Would something like this happen under the System's eyes?
He looked at the other party and immediately remembered.
This was Master Luo, Luo Xingrong, who was in charge of the villa's landscaping. He had chatted with him once before.
Fang Ning was not bragging when he said that his memory was so good that he could memorize an entire library.
He asked, "Master Luo, what's the matter?"
When the farm worker heard this, his face relaxed, and then tears welled up in his eyes.
He did not think that the mysterious Vigilante, who came and went every day, would remember his name after only hearing him say it once.
The man in his forties rubbed his eyes and said, "Vigilante, it's a little hard to say."
Fang Ning waved his hand and said, "Just say it."
Master Luo rubbed his hands and said, "It's like this, I want my wife and children to move to our farm … Of course, I won't let them live and eat for free, just deduct it from my salary."
As soon as he said this, Fang Ning immediately understood.
As expected, something as big as the moon's return, how could the world be at peace with the appearance of the Dragon God?
Young people surfed the internet, students saved videos, and old people were used to looking for acquaintances and connections.
Was there any place safer than where Vigilante A was?
Fang Ning thought about it and nodded, "This is a small matter, you can ask Butler Zheng to arrange it."
Master Luo quickly left with a thousand thanks.
Fang Ning looked at his back and could not help but let out a deep breath.
Compared to most people, he was already very happy, why was he still not satisfied?
No novels to read, no games to play, he really could not be satisfied …
Did he have to build a team just to satisfy himself?
No, it was not that Fang Ning had never secretly spent money to customize games or novels.
However, he quickly got tired of the things that came out.
There was no other reason, it lacked the most important sense of novelty and anticipation. Only in a large collection of samples would he have a higher chance of producing high-quality works.
Damn, even the appearance of the Dragon God could not calm the overflowing hearts of the people.
What should he do to let the people return to their previous stable state of life?
Fang Ning was troubled by the problem that he should not be worrying about.
…
"How can I make those guys outside calm down? Go back to their factories and continue working? "
America, New Netherlands City. America's Special Affairs Joint Investigation Bureau Headquarters.
Director Hook was also troubled by a similar problem.
Outside the headquarters building, one could hear the sounds of protests.
Fortunately, the headquarters building was a confidential unit, so the protests were not directed at him.
Before the natural disaster, the neighbor opposite used the natural disaster to successfully show off. Whether the effect was good or bad, at least on the surface, there was not much chaos.
The people of America, on the other hand, could not.
They knew that they did not believe in the Dragon God, and when the time came, the Dragon God would not necessarily care about their lives, so they could only rely on the country's government.
After China's sacrifice, after more than a month of anxious waiting, they realized that the country's government had not come up with any effective measures. Their emotions gradually fermented, and now they had completely exploded.
There were all kinds of demonstrations every day, asking for specific measures to be introduced, so that they could see the hope of fighting against the crisis.
The relevant agencies had already pushed this problem to Director Hook, because this was originally a special matter.
They really did not understand the difficulties of the higher-ups. Couldn't they just obediently wait for death at home? Did they think that by making a scene on the streets, they would not die?
Those who deserved to die would definitely die, how could they save everyone?
This thought crossed Director Hook's mind. He frowned, and casually flipped open a report submitted by his subordinate.
"Mars Biosphere No.3 Plan."
"Wishful thinking!"
The moment he saw the title, he wanted to throw the report into the trash, but he suddenly stopped.
"Hey, convert, convert. Combined with the recent news, I can totally use it to fool those guys who are protesting, and at the same time, get a sum of money." Director Hook had an idea.
…
A few days later, several authoritative American television stations began to broadcast a few famous experts' speeches at the same time.
"The Eastern Dragon God promised that the sky will not collapse, but in fact, the waves are getting higher every day. There is accurate data to prove this, but we can't see what useful things it has done?" An old professor shook his head.
"I think it's just empty talk, and after seeing the moon, it went home to sleep. It did not do anything useful," another young scholar affirmed.
"We can't pin our hopes on this mythical creature that only knows how to talk big. Americans need to be united. We have the world's most advanced technology, we want to go to the moon again. But this time, the target is Mars! We want to replicate the Earth's biosphere on Mars! "A third middle-aged expert raised his arms and shouted.
"As long as we can migrate to Mars, what happens on Earth has nothing to do with us. We can continue to be glorious and isolated like during World War II. Oh, I went too far. Sorry, what I really meant was that we can leave the best seeds for the continuation of mankind. "The old professor apologized.
These speeches from authoritative television stations quickly spread on the Internet.
Soon, countless knowledgeable people began to laugh at them.
"You want to fly to Mars? The fastest spaceship would take at least half a year, right? The crisis will erupt in a year, how many people can you transport? "
"Not to mention the transportation problem, there has been a biosphere plan in the past, and the US has failed twice. That was an enclosed environment built on Earth. Now that it's built on Mars, won't it fail even faster? "
In response to the negative comments on the Internet, the US quickly released some important news!
"We have discovered our country's Arcane Realm, it has a unique feature! It had two entrances and exits. One is in the US, and the other is on Mars! "
There was no picture, no truth. Accompanying the news were pictures of the Arcane Realm.
One was a portal that opened in a grassland somewhere in the US.
The other portal opened in a fiery red desert, and an astronaut was coming out from it. Looking at the surrounding environment, it did not look like Earth.
"Hiss?!" Seeing this, countless people were shocked!
Most ordinary people did not know much about the Arcane Realm, and did not even know the concept.
In order to deal with the domestic chaos, the US actually released this important news, and it immediately caused a carnival of entertainment and a feast for the media.
"Arcane Realm, what is that?"
Countless columnists began to publish articles, and began to use the bits and pieces of information they obtained to popularize the general public.
Arcane Realms were a special kind of space, similar to the dimensions in various sci-fi movies.
Some of the Arcane Realms that had been discovered had similar temperature and sunlight to Earth, and could temporarily be considered as sharing the environment with Earth.
However, different Arcane Realms had their own characteristics. The Vitality inside was very strong, and there were often extremely strong demons.
They usually had multiple entrances and exits, but most of them were on Earth.
It was rare to see a Arcane Realm like the US, where the entrance was directly on Mars.
Some people could not help but think that there might be Arcane Realms that could open further?
If that was the case, would they not be able to surpass the physical limit of the speed of light, and achieve interstellar travel?
Thinking of this prospect, many Americans began to get excited.
It was as if the imminent crisis had become less important.
After all, they could escape to Mars.
At this time, they subconsciously ignored the problem of how to farm on Mars, where there was almost no water or soil.
When Director Hook saw the feedback from the big data, he immediately let out a sigh of relief. It was not easy to fool this group of idiots.
