Chapter 597: Arrival
The incident he encountered at this moment made Dong Tianyu suddenly feel somewhat unable to accept it. Although Dong Tianyu had just managed to escape from the seal of that thing, it was only a narrow escape. If it came to a direct confrontation, Dong Tianyu really hadn't thought of an appropriate way to respond.
With the disappearance of that thing, the originally cloudy and thunderous sky instantly cleared up.
However, although the surroundings became sunny, Dong Tianyu's heart was filled with gloom.
But now that thing had left and vanished, and Dong Tianyu had no way to locate it, so he could only put this matter aside for the time being. If he encountered it again in the future, he would think of a way to respond.
Although it was already a significant delay, Dong Tianyu still continued toward the land of the Eagle Sauce Family.
It was only when the tablet's location clearly showed that he was in the Eagle Sauce Family's territory before the natural disaster that Dong Tianyu put the tablet back into the Storage space. He then lowered his flying altitude and activated the Invisibility Technique to search for other boats on the water.
Before the natural disaster, the Eagle Sauce Zoo was already sparsely populated, with only a few population centers, and the vast majority of the area was uninhabited.
After the natural disaster hit, the Eagle Sauce Zoo suffered even more due to the "happy education" implemented before the disaster, resulting in a severe polarization among the animals there.
Ordinary animals, having mostly received this happy education, all had very basic manual skills as long as they completed the education.
These so-called manual skills referred to their ability to make everyday tools and items. Perhaps due to the high cost of labor before the disaster, those lower-class animals often used tools to manufacture or modify common items in their daily lives.
Also, because the area was sparsely populated and there were many forests and lakes, many households owned small boats.
Most of the boats owned by the lower-class families were only manual paddle boats that could carry three or four people, possibly because they were mostly stored in warehouses.
Even though those boats had suffered damage after so many natural disasters, the sudden onset of the flood allowed ordinary people to patch them up with tools from home, turning them into makeshift safe havens amidst the flood.
Initially, there wasn't any wild storm when the flood appeared, just a continuous rise in the water level.
This situation posed a threat to those hiding at high points in buildings or mountaintops, but for the survivors in the boats, even the smallest of vessels were not affected.
Aside from the ordinary people, the elite had long before the disaster boarded helicopters or other vehicles, retreating into their privately purchased luxury yachts.
Thus, even with the rapid rise in the water level, the casualty rate among the elite was actually not very high.
In addition to these two groups, there was another group of chimpanzees in the Eagle Sauce Zoo. Before the disaster, these chimpanzees mostly led lives of indifference, following the motto of living for today, indulging in the present because of zero-cost shopping.
This lifestyle was sustainable before the disaster. After all, the noble protected animals of the Eagle Sauce Family, in order to secure their status, turned a blind eye to these chimpanzees.
Initially, this strategy of lifting by praising was intended to subtly eliminate them.
This sinister tactic of the Eagle Sauce Family, applied to any other Zoo and against any species within, would have been extraordinarily effective.
Just like in the White Elephant Zoo, where the lower-class animals were completely subjugated under the noble White Elephant's feet.
However, for some unknown reason, perhaps due to a genetic flaw inherent in those Eagle Sauce Zoo chimpanzees, they not only managed to completely ignore such lethal flattery but willfully indulged in the benefits it brought.
Unfortunately, this kind of praise was only bestowed when those plotting the scheme were willing, or when someone higher up enforced it. Only then would someone put aside immediate benefits and lavish such deadly praise.
When one natural disaster after another began, most people were too preoccupied with their own safety to take an interest or have the ability to continue lavishing praises on those chimpanzees.
And when they lost this invisible benefit of flattery, the so-called violent genes of those chimpanzees became a joke to both the ordinary animals of the Eagle Sauce Family and the elite protected animals.
People say chimpanzees are violent, but back in the era of the Plantation Garden, weren't those chimpanzees used as labor? Why didn't anyone mention their violent genes back then?
In the Plantation Garden, didn't those chimpanzees dutifully toil in the fields without causing trouble like they do now?
It all came down to habituation. As for why they indulged and flattered those chimpanzees initially, it was to encourage them to leave the Plantation Garden and enter the factories.
After all, when the north and south Zoos had their disputes, one side wanted to maintain the traditional Manor life, where the Manor Lord had absolute power of life and death within his land.
And at that time, most Manors, like separate kingdoms, although their cultivated products varied, were generally self-sufficient.
