Chapter 245: Continent sank
At this moment, everyone heard the system announcement:
"Dear survivors, system reminder, you have five minutes to board the Noah’s Ark. Please carry your tickets and board within the specified time!"
"Special reminder, survivors without any tickets, if attempting to enter the Noah’s Ark privately, will face dire consequences. Please proceed with caution!"
"Finally, starting from this moment, the system will open up the entire East Zone, allowing all survivors from the East Zone to freely communicate and trade items!"
"Haha, I’ve been waiting left and right, but I finally made it! These past few hours, the earthquakes have been relentless, my head is spinning."
"Yeah, the earthquakes are terrifying, they just won’t stop! If this continues, I’m afraid I’ll go insane."
"Wow, what a huge ship! I love it!"
"This ship has such a futuristic feel, but it also feels safe!"
At this moment, the survivors, who had been on the verge of going crazy from the constant earthquakes, felt an immense sense of relief. Finally, they could board the ship.
Survivors with tickets boarded smoothly. Some of those with fourth-class tickets, upon entering their rooms, instantly began to lament.
"Oh my god, why is my room so small? Can people even live here?"
"Yeah, mine’s tiny too! Is this what fourth-level tickets get you?"
"This is insane, how can anyone live in a place like this? Seriously!"
"Come on, guys, let’s be grateful! At least we have a place to stand and survive. The fate of those without tickets, I can’t even imagine!"
"Haha, true. But that’s just how this world is. Survival of the fittest, the strong prevail. Without strength, you can’t get a ticket, and being eliminated sooner or later was inevitable. Now, we’re just eliminating them a bit earlier!"
At this moment, those who were boarding the ship unconsciously began to feel a sense of superiority.
In fact, that’s indeed the case. Those with strong abilities can naturally secure a ticket, while those lacking strength can only watch others board in despair, resigned to their fate.
At this moment, someone asked curiously, "I heard that there are five first-level tickets on each Noah’s Ark, is that true?"
"Really, a friend of mine has one first-level ticket. Unfortunately, our relationship isn’t great, so I didn’t have a chance to cozy up to them."
"Wow, is that for real? What are the rooms like for first-class ticket holders?"
"Yeah, tell us, buddy. First-class tickets are super exclusive!"
"That’s right!"
At this moment, many people became highly interested. Everyone has a curious mind, especially when it comes to those who are strong. Seeing so many people eager to learn more about this aspect, the person who claimed to know a first-class ticket holder replied one by one.
"The rooms are very spacious! Extremely spacious! Besides that, first-level ticket holders can also bring several other survivors to stay with them. Most importantly, and what everyone is very concerned about, is that first-level tickets come with a lot of privileges. They’ve already enjoyed them before we entered the Noah’s Ark!"
They listed a long list of privileges and benefits that come with first-class tickets. Suddenly, the comments section fell silent.
Indeed, No comparison, no hurt.
Some survivors who were previously a bit conceited couldn’t help but feel less enchanted with their tickets after seeing all the privileges others were enjoying. In the end, they could only console themselves, saying, "Well, they have the strength!"
After boarding the Noah’s Ark, the survivors seemed to have countless complaints. Most of them were dissatisfied with their living conditions. Survivors with fourth-level tickets complained about their tiny rooms.
Those with third-level tickets complained that their rooms were too small, and many couldn’t fit their belongings.
Second-level ticket holders complained about their rooms not being very spacious and having plain decorations.
At this point, a first-level ticket holder chimed in, saying, "Actually, the first-level rooms are just like that, they’re not much better than villas. Honestly, I’m a bit disappointed!"
The entire comments section was left dumbfounded for a while. Only after some time did people start commenting:
"Wow, this is a shocker!"
"Highlighting disappointment; this is what we need to remember!"
"Isn’t that the legendary Kunknife Silva? Haha, Silva is still as adorable as ever. Every time he shows up, he brings us joy!"
"Haha, so true, Silva is a true legend!"
"The most down-to-earth one is Silva. Even though he’s incredibly strong, he always mixes with us!"
The comments section quickly heated up. However, some people were puzzled because they didn’t know who this person was. Others explained it to them. Just then, the system issued an abrupt announcement:
"All survivors, please take note! A super tsunami will arrive in five minutes. Please prepare yourselves!"
"A tsunami is coming!" Waldo and the others were suddenly alert. Is it finally coming? How terrifying is this super tsunami?
At this moment, Alanna and Helen both looked quite nervous, but they weren’t exactly scared. At least they were on the Noah’s Ark.
The Noah’s Ark was evidently designed to withstand the appearance of a super tsunami. If even the Noah’s Ark couldn’t withstand the tsunami, then there would be nothing left on Earth to survive it.
In Waldo’s room, there was a window that allowed them to see the distant sea. At this moment, Waldo and the others came to the window, gazing into the distance. There was curiosity, nervousness, and worry in their expressions, a complex mix of emotions.
In their line of sight, the Dawn Ark, a massive and futuristic vessel, was shrouded in a grayish haze. In the distant horizon, the sky was overcast, and the clouds were heavy, with barely a ray of sunlight breaking through.
Just then, a white line appeared in the distance, rapidly approaching the Dawn Ark. As it drew nearer, Waldo and the others were shocked to see that it was an enormous wave towering over a hundred meters high.
"It’s here!" Waldo’s eyes widened, and a strong sense of trembling quickly spread. In a deafening roar that made it seem like the very heavens and earth were shaking, the entire space quivered.
In an instant, the Dawn Ark was violently shaking as it struggled to resist the enormous wave. Everyone’s hearts were in their throats as they silently prayed for the Dawn Ark, knowing that their survival depended on it.
Zooming out the view, one could see that at this moment, the tsunami covered the sky and rolled in, reaching heights of several hundred meters and moving at a terrifying speed toward the continent.
Meanwhile, dozens of massive Noah’s Arks were anchored on the sea’s surface. They appeared gigantic, with a displacement of up to 100,000 tons. However, in the face of the colossal tsunami, they seemed incredibly fragile, like small boats. Every Noah’s Ark was now violently bobbing in the waves.
Some of the Noah’s Arks faced frequent danger, nearly being swallowed by the massive waves multiple times. However, the outcome was unexpectedly miraculous—they miraculously managed to survive each time. Perhaps this was the extraordinary aspect of the Noah’s Ark—despite facing numerous crises, it always managed to avert disaster.
However, the story didn’t end here. As the tsunami approached, the entire continent experienced an unprecedented earthquake. At one moment, the entire continent split apart along the seemingly bottomless chasms, breaking into numerous smaller pieces.
A vast expanse of plains on the continent, collapsed entirely. The boundless plains became fragmented and the once-thriving cities turned into ruins. The entire continent seemed like a hell on earth, utterly devastating.
Soon enough, the super tsunami arrived with a deafening roar. In an instant, it swallowed vast coastal plains. It continued its advance, engulfing the hilly terrain ahead. In a matter of moments, hundreds of kilometers of coastline turned into a vast expanse of destruction.
But it didn’t stop there. The tsunami kept advancing.
"Oh God, save us!"
"It’s useless, no one can save us! We’ve been abandoned, abandoned by everyone!"
"Why, why is it like this? I refuse to accept this, I really do! Why? Why can’t we board the Noah’s Ark?"
"Sob, sob, I want to live, I want to survive! What do I do?"
"This is a garbage system, I curse it!"
At this moment, the survivors left on the continent, looking at the colossal wall of water reaching to the sky in the distance, fell into utter despair. They knew that there was no escape for them, no matter what. As a result, many of them became hysterical, cursing and screaming in despair. However, the fate of everyone was sealed, unchangeable.
Further inland on the distant continent, tectonic plates suddenly ruptured, and countless volumes of seawater gushed forth from the cracks. The entire continent began to sink.
As time passed, five hours later, the vast continent was completely submerged by the rushing waters. Land disappeared, sinking beneath the ocean’s surface. Where land once stood, there remained nothing but a vast expanse of water.
From that moment onward, everyone entered the era of the oceans. In the face of this devastating and overwhelming force of nature, all resistance was futile.
Some had delusions of escaping by taking hot air balloons into the sky just before the tsunami struck, hoping for a slim chance of survival.
However, they were swiftly swept up by the fierce winds and engulfed by the colossal waves, meeting a tragic end with no resting place for their souls.
