Cave Refuge

Although Rabbit had launched a communication satellite, since communication equipment could only be manufactured domestically, the only way to restore communication with other countries was to rely on airplanes to first gift the communication equipment to them.

This situation was actually quite simple before the natural disaster, but afterward, it presented a slight complication, namely if relying on airplanes to transport those communication devices.

Even as Rabbit took the initiative to gift the communication devices, there would be no issue when the plane delivered them, but upon returning, refueling was necessary, and it was not certain that the other parties would provide fuel for Rabbit's plane.

After all, in accordance with common reasoning, since Rabbit had already gifted the communication equipment for free, then out of courtesy, they should also provide the fuel for the return trip of Rabbit's transported planes for free.

Not to mention those distant countries, let's talk about the countries in Asia's Monster Room surrounding Rabbit. Even before the disaster, how many of them could be self-sufficient in fuel? The vast majority still relied on imports from abroad.

And when the flood came, the fuel in their countries was even scarcer, being depleted as it was used, so Rabbit did not arrange for planes to send communication equipment. Instead, they equipped the first wave of foreign exploration teams with many communication devices.

The Imperial Court did not assign them any specific tasks but merely told them that during their explorations abroad, if they encountered the courts of other animals, they could gift the surplus communication devices to them.

For every additional animal they could contact, upon their return, the Imperial Court would issue some extra rewards.

There was no exploration team that would refuse this plan from the Imperial Court because it was not a compulsory task, and if they incidentally discovered something, they could just conveniently do it.

That was actually how contact was made with Northern Stick, since Northern Stick had bordered Rabbit even before the disaster, and re-establishing contact was only expected.

Of course, the first ones Rabbit met were not Northern Stick but Basin Chicken. However, whenever Rabbit encountered other animals, they generally showed kindness, except in the case of Basin Chicken, where they openly displayed hostility, especially when Basin Chicken initiated provocation.

The reason was quite simple. Unlike Rabbit, who had started building the Water Base on the prophetic advice, Basin Chicken had long encouraged everyone to leave the land and seek refuge at sea because they couldn't withstand the recurring natural disasters on land.

Compared to Rabbit's escape to the sea involving either a Water Base or giant cruise ships, Basin Chicken dared to venture far from the coastline with just a small fishing boat.

Moreover, since the youth in Basin Chicken were heavily obsessed with anime, the initial losses when encountering Mysterious Ships were not large. Instead, many people seized this opportunity to obtain their own Companion Spiritual Treasures.

It should be noted that in this period, possessing a Companion Spiritual Treasure was the most fundamental cornerstone for safe survival. After acquiring a Companion Spiritual Treasure and the capability to extract various resources from the Fusion Mystic Realm,

some who were formerly known as residents of the City Abandoned House, were living much better now than before the disaster because, at this time, they just needed the will to struggle to secure all the necessities for survival.

Even in this era of brute force, the privileges formerly exclusive to them before the disaster swiftly shattered into fragments, as if glass had fallen and broken on the ground.

Because of this, many young people, who had previously lived dissatisfying lives before the disaster, transformed instantly as if energized, each adopting a desperate demeanor.

Also, due to this, undeniably, at the initial stage of the flood, the level of Companion Spiritual Treasures of Basin Chicken was far ahead of other animals in the Zoo.

However, as their own strength continually grew, the characters of these young Basin Chickens evolved from initially weak to gradually becoming strong.

As the old saying goes, with contentment comes lechery; as the levels and evolution of their Companion Spiritual Treasures continued, they became unsatisfied with the current state. After all, having an advantage in each hand was never as comfortable as actual combat.

Unlike before the disaster, when there were special places set up for firefighting, during this period, the individuals capable of extinguishing fires were mostly trapped on the ships of the nobility.

Unless they didn't mind settling for less, let alone finding an angel, even finding someone appealing was difficult.

After all, before the disaster, if one wasn't physically attractive, they could still make up for it with makeup, but at this time, not to mention wearing makeup, just having enough to eat and drink to maintain a healthy body was considered good.

Although airports are expensive, most people still preferred watermelons that they could hold in their hands and enjoy anytime.

The situation on Basin Chicken's side was different from Rabbit's. If a comparison had to be made, it was actually quite similar to the scenario with White Elephant, where the majority of statuses and roles were hereditary.

This meant that an individual's achievements were mostly determined at birth, so now, the Basin Chickens who could stay on large ships definitely had indubitable social statuses and roles.

Because of this, after the appearance of Mysterious Ships, those people would absolutely not risk their lives to enter Secret Realms to obtain Mysterious Cores.

But those young Basin Chickens, willing to take risks because of their past addiction to anime, had thoughts significantly different from traditional Basin Chickens.

So, after they gained power, they chose not to selflessly dedicate it but to use it to enhance themselves.
