Chapter 976 - 498: North Island’s Snow, Poisonous Ant Catastrophe

Sangzhou Country.

The so-called "Sangzhou Country" was originally the North Island of the Ying Sang Kingdom.

According to the "Pingjing Treaty" signed by the Pioneer Alliance and the Ying Sang People, the North Island gained independence and formed Sangzhou Country together with some surrounding small islands.

The local Ying Sang residents of the North Island, after experiencing a super tsunami, were reduced to less than one million people, all relocated to the other three islands of the Ying Sang Duchy.

As a country under Great Xia’s trusteeship, the official language of Sangzhou Country is Great Xia Language, and all the place names have been changed to those familiar to Great Xia People.

For example, the largest city on the North Island previously named Shikuang, is now renamed Sangzi City, which is tentatively set as the capital of Sangzhou Country.

In the past half month, Great Xia has quietly launched an immigration project for Sangzhou Country.

So far, as many as 150,000 Great Xia People have migrated to Sangzhou Country, and in the coming years, more than five million more will move over gradually.

Meng Yuchen is one of the Great Xia People who relocated.

At this moment.

Within a hot spring hotel in Sangzi City.

Meng Yuchen and his newlywed wife Napatthan are soaking in the hot spring with content written all over their faces.

He is the cousin of Meng Xiaochuan. Originally, Meng Xiaochuan took an assignment from the Education General Administration to travel on a business trip to the Antai Kingdom and unwittingly got involved with an Antai Air Hostess.

When Meng Yuchen heard about this, he was quite shocked. Later, he begged the Antai sister-in-law to introduce him to an Antai Air Hostess, thus Napatthan became his girlfriend.

Later, the two were passionately in love for some time, with Napatthan often taking the initiative to fly over. Even most of the hotel expenses were paid by Napatthan, along with occasional gifts.

Meng Yuchen, unused to such gestures, soon fell for the Antai Air Hostess. Ten days ago, the two officially registered for marriage.

As the saying goes, "Good things come in pairs," Meng Yuchen recently successfully joined the much yearned-for Celestial Star Agriculture, becoming a part of this world-leading new agriculture enterprise.

The position he joined had one requirement; since Celestial Star Agriculture decided to enter Sangzhou Country, he must reside in Sangzhou Country for at least ten years.

But the position also had an additional benefit—it could help introduce a foreign girlfriend, and if married, assist with nationality issues.

Simply put, as long as they have two children, the foreign wife can obtain Great Xia nationality earlier.

This is much faster than the conventional "having three children."

Therefore, Meng Yuchen applied without hesitation for the overseas position and successfully received the employment notice. Two days ago, he had just arrived in Sangzhou Country with his newlywed wife and got settled.

Since there was no housing available temporarily, Celestial Star Company booked a hotel for the employees to stay for a month.

The Great Xia Engineering Corps is extensively constructing infrastructure on the North Island, including a large number of residential buildings, one of which is a community dedicated to the employees of Celestial Star Agriculture.

"...So far, there have been more than 360 volcano eruptions worldwide, with over 100 billion tons of volcanic ash entering the atmosphere.

"The volcanic ash scatters and emits sunlight, drastically reducing solar radiation reaching the surface of Canglan Star."

The voice of a female host came from the TV next to the hot spring pool.

The two figures in the pool were not watching TV but were entwined and engaged in indescribable actions.

"Splash～"

The water surface rippled with rhythmic waves.

It is normal for a newlywed couple, bathing skinnily in a hot spring, to generate a little spark.

"It is expected that in the next three days, temperatures in various parts of the world will drop below freezing point, and snowy weather will reoccur.

"Simultaneously, as the impact of the Sobbing Green Sea from the Primordial World on Canglan Star gradually weakens, the cold wave disaster is highly likely to reoccur within half a month.

"The good news is that as the influence of the Green Sea will persist permanently, the future global temperatures will be slightly higher than that caused by the cold wave disaster.

"According to the estimates by the Great Xia Superpower Research Institute, the future average temperature will be between minus 15 to minus 20 degrees, with daytime average temperatures between minus 5 to 10 degrees, and nighttime between minus 25 to 30 degrees.

"By then, global volcanic eruptions will gradually subside, and seismic activities will also trend towards stabilization..."

At this time.

A sudden "ah" sounded in the room.

The "splash" sound from the hot spring pool subsequently ceased.

After a short rest.

"Ding!"

The phone suddenly rang.

Napatthan glanced at it and laughed, saying, "The canine robot delivered the items."

Nowadays in Great Xia hotels, it is common to use robot dogs to deliver items to rooms because they are small, flexible, can take stairs in emergencies, and importantly, are relatively affordable.

In just her underwear, revealing large swathes of fair skin, she walked to the door and collected a wooden box.

Before closing the door, she didn’t forget to take a few pictures with her phone as creative material to showcase life in Great Xia.

Napatthan opened the wooden box to find several types of fruit, dried fish and shrimp, along with several exquisite pastries, totaling over ten items.

This is a luxury afternoon tea set supplied by the hotel.

She recorded a video on her phone, sweetly saying, "Honey, the benefits from your company are really enviable."

This set is one of the many employee benefits provided by the Celestial Star Agriculture Group.

Starting from last month, Celestial Star Agriculture began implementing "a weekly twenty-four-hour work system" on a full scale.

In other words, work four days a week, with three hours of work each morning and afternoon per workday, totaling twenty-four hours.
