Shortly after Su Ling and the others finished their breakfast, they arrived at the port of Lucheng.
Originally, with the mobile castle's speed, they should have arrived much earlier.
However, Su Ling deliberately slowed down the program, causing them to arrive later than the estimated time.
Su Ling did this because the tsunami had swept through, and it was estimated that the port city of Lucheng would not escape disaster.
If they had arrived early, they would have had to wait for the aftershocks of the tsunami to subside.
Therefore, it was better to slow down their journey and arrive gradually.
This way, they could enjoy the sea scenery and, upon arrival, avoid being impacted by the tsunami's lingering effects.
As Su Ling had guessed, this tsunami not only submerged the islands at sea but also destroyed the port city of Lucheng. The entire coastal city was in ruins and devastation.
From its tragic state, it was clear that the impact and damage caused by the tsunami were beyond human resistance.
Humans, in the face of nature, are inherently insignificant.
Especially in the face of natural disasters, once encountered, it truly spells annihilation.
The port they had left was no longer visible, completely submerged by the rising sea. Even the city on the port had been covered by the water, becoming an underwater world.
As for the ruins of the Lucheng survivor base, they had long been razed to the ground by this tsunami.
Su Ling and her companions stood within the castle walls, their gazes sweeping across a scene of utter devastation.
This tsunami, with its surging waters and rising sea levels, had submerged more than half of the coastal cities of Lucheng.
Peng Yansheng and Brother Tian, among others, looked at the fallen Lucheng with lingering fear, trembling.
They dared not imagine what their fate would have been if they had not left Lucheng for the island at sea in pursuit of revenge.
It was evident that they would have become casualties of this tsunami.
The mobile castle moved from the sea onto land, traversing the vast expanse of Lucheng.
Half of Lucheng was submerged in water, while the remaining half, which had not succumbed, was situated at higher ground, inaccessible to the rising sea.
According to the initial plan of Su Ling, her group, and Zhang Wenbin, the port of Lucheng was to be developed into a base connected to the island at sea. However, this plan was now completely defunct.
The tsunami had swept through, turning the entire island at sea into an underwater island.
And the port of Lucheng had not been spared, with half of its city submerged.
The mobile castle, following Su Ling's commands, continued to move away from the coast and towards inland cities.
Su Ling and Shang Qi had already arrived in the control room. Su Ling was examining the route map, searching for a suitable place to settle.
They still needed to go to the southernmost city and could not keep Zhang Wenbin and his group with them indefinitely.
Therefore, the best approach was to find a relatively stable city and develop it into a new survivor base.
After reviewing several options, Su Ling finally decided to return to the popular city that they had to pass through on their way to Lucheng.
That city was at a higher elevation and not too far from Lucheng. It was quite suitable for developing into a survivor base.
While Su Ling was re-planning their route, Shang Qi had already left the control room to inform Zhang Wenbin of the news.
After hearing Shang Qi's description, Zhang Wenbin and his group unanimously agreed with Shang Qi and Su Ling's decision, and the mobile castle had already reached the popular city, City A.
Shang Qi had already provided Zhang Wenbin with the city map of City A.
It was midday, and the mobile castle had stopped and had not entered the city. Instead, it was parked on an open space outside City A.
Zhang Wenbin was currently discussing and planning the site selection for the base with Su Ling and Shang Qi.
