I Become a Landlady in the Game World

Charlot listened, completely bewildered.

Another world, 7 billion people.

The shock was indeed vast.

"What does 'apocalypse' mean?" Once Charlot had recovered, he continued to ask.

"The day of death or annihilation, our world is facing the danger of destruction," Zhou Bai explained.

"Then could our own world be facing the same danger? Is that why everyone is strengthening themselves to cope with it?" Charlot inferred subconsciously, his heart skipping a beat unaware.

Such a speculation was horrifying!

He wanted to dismiss it from his mind, but the more he thought about it, the more likely it seemed.

Only then could it explain why his family did not let him establish a new territory but instead to improve his personal strength, and why the Harrington family had diverted resources from one of their territories.

Because both their families were preparing for this apocalypse.

"What forms can an apocalypse take?" Charlot pressed on.

"In our world, the most speculated are natural disasters: floods, high temperature droughts, earthquakes, tsunamis, hurricanes, etc.," Zhou Bai replied, then seemingly casually added, "Stan Continent has similar weather patterns! I wonder when these special weathers started? And it's been quite a while since the last occurrence of special weather, has it always been like this before?"

With these questions, Zhou Bai was indeed probing for information from the mouth of Charlot, a noble.

After realizing it earlier, she had actually done some investigation, especially asking the local residents about their memories. However, in their memories, it had always been this way and their primary concern was survival. They wouldn't delve into such profound questions, so most people were unaware, and even those few who did know did not have the capacity for further inquiry.

After listening to Zhou Bai, Charlot was stunned once again.

The questions raised by Zhou Bai were truly unknown to him, and he had never considered them.

After all, special weathers were not seen as threats to them. The required equipment was always prepared well in advance, and they even looked forward to the arrival of special weather because it meant more special and better resources compared to normal weather.

Given this situation, they certainly had not considered when special weather began, whether it had a pattern, or if it was detrimental to the world.

Realizing this, Charlot's expression became somewhat serious before he shook his head, "I don't know."

Zhou Bai listened, her expression stilling, Charlot's answer within her expectation.

The vast majority of people would not pay attention to such minor details in daily life, and in their subtle complacency, how could they notice anything was amiss?

Only a very few people would be privy to such information and after knowing it, they would never disclose it externally. Disclosing it would only cause social unrest, unfavorable for their rule. They preferred to keep such secrets concealed.

The current situation might indicate that there indeed existed a group on Stan Continent who knew the secrets behind it all, but they were silently preparing.

And what could the apocalypse of this world be?

A hint of worry flashed through Zhou Bai's eyes.

"I will inform my friends of this information, and we will discuss how to report to our families. If... we have the chance to learn more in-depth information, I will let you know. And if you come across any relevant news, will you do the same?" Now revived from shock, Charlot proposed his idea to Zhou Bai.

In fact, he and Harrington were not wrong in thinking that they might learn of news unknown to others through these new territories, and given the potential of Hope Village, forging an alliance and binding their interests together might prove to be a hidden boon for the future.

Many people were willing to invest in territories for the sake of future returns.

He was no exception.

More importantly, Hope Village could provide returns to him now.

"Alright," Zhou Bai agreed without hesitation.

She felt that this Charlot in front of her could offer her much more than she could offer in return.

"Since that's the case, shall we sign a contract?" Charlot suggested.

A contract could truly bring peace of mind.

"Hmm," she was just thinking of suggesting that herself!

After they had made their decision, the two discussed the details of the contract and finally settled on the terms.
