Cave Refuge

Perhaps because they had already eradicated most of the Old Faction members in Southern Stick, the area essentially fell under the iron hoof of Basin Chicken, achieving the territorial expansion their ancestors had never accomplished.

As a result, many Old Faction members of Basin Chicken became arrogant, gradually starting to look down on the New Faction members of Southern Stick who had helped them, and, having confiscated a lot of weapons from the Old Faction of Southern Stick, they began to disregard their own New Faction members as well.

The New Faction members of Basin Chicken's family, who had been immersed in the "second dimension" prior to the disaster, were not surprised by the behavior of their Old Faction members. In fact, they had already prepared a plan to deal with it.

As the invasion progressed, they not only brought the Old Faction members into the antagonistic roles of the "second dimension" but also played the roles of antagonists themselves.

Knowing their own Old Faction members well, they had anticipated such an outcome. Thus, when the New Faction of Southern Stick began to gravitate towards them, they started to make secret contact with the New Faction members of Southern Stick.

With the increasingly arrogant behavior of their own Old Faction members, they knew that unless they continued to fight like this, they would have no good outcomes once they decided to cease fighting and return home.

Because of the poor attitude of their own Old Faction members, and also because they were of similar age to the New Faction members of Southern Stick, they unintentionally formed a defensive and offensive alliance with them.

As the saying goes, 'Whom the gods would destroy, they first make mad.' Just when the Old Faction of Basin Chicken thought they had successfully expanded their territory and were about to celebrate lavishly, both New Faction members attacked them simultaneously.

Because they carefully selected the time of the surprise attack, when their adversaries were most off guard and least vigilant, they achieved unprecedented success.

Although they did not eliminate all of the Old Faction members of Basin Chicken, those who fled in haste ended up hiding in obscure corners just like the Old Faction members of Southern Stick did.

When the battle ended, and the New Faction members of Southern Stick were on high alert to prevent any backstabbing attacks from the New Faction members of Basin Chicken, to their surprise, the Basin Chicken's New Faction members, as initially agreed, casually took the confiscated spoils of war and set off on their return journey.

Honestly, now that Blue Star is all submerged by floodwaters, the landscape looks the same everywhere. However, perhaps due to the sentimental attachment to one's native land by the older generations, most survivors from before the disaster, unless absolutely necessary, choose not to leave their homeland.

Zachary once came unexpectedly to the maritime border between Basin Chicken and Rabbit's Home, where he eliminated a fleet of Basin Chicken's Old Faction—specifically, their warships.

On East Asia Zoo's side, although Rabbit's side had already drawn up a disaster relief plan before the catastrophe, the death toll of Rabbit during the flood still reached a staggering thirty percent.

However, compared to other Zoo survivors where the survival rate was less than fifty percent, it could be considered well-managed.

Looking at the entire Zoo, apart from East Asia, the losses in other Zoos were even more severe; it might be said that those Zoos where several yachts had been docked before the disaster managed to have that many animals survive the flood.

Yes, you heard correctly: the Zoos with more survivors were not the ones with the most yachts, but those where the most had been moored.

After the flood, the property rights from before the disaster became worthless paper. Whoever held the yachts controlled the boarding rights for the other animals.

Although some animals survived on templates or other floating objects, this was, after all, a minority. Additionally, they lacked supplies and the necessary environment for survival, so death was only a matter of time.

Given the harsh conditions now, everyone knows what will happen if they continue to stay here. Based on the pre-disaster conditions, they know the environment in East Asia Zoo is definitely better than where they currently are, so they unconsciously started moving towards East Asia Zoo.

Even before the disaster, East Asia Zoo was known as the 'monster house.' After the disaster, the conditions here were indeed slightly better than in other Zoos.

The reason is simple: it's the difference in cultural heritage, unlike other Zoos where they didn't like to keep work logs.

The managers on East Asia Zoo's side, starting from the first animal in the Zoo, meticulously recorded everything in the Zoo through work logs.

And because the logs were also written by animals, they would write articles with a slight personal bias, based on their preferences.

For example, about the expansion affairs of Rabbit's Home, if the expansion was successful, the rabbit holding the pen would only write in the notebook: On a certain year, month, and day, under the leadership of which Rabbit, the Zoo expanded by a certain area.

But if the Zoo's expansion failed, or even if a wall originally built for it collapsed, allowing other animals into Rabbit's Home, especially if they encroached on the place where the rabbit wrote,

then the rabbit writing the work log, furious because his desk was knocked over, would begin to write vehemently and at great length.
