Chapter 977 - 498: North Island’s Snow, Poisonous Ant Calamity (2)

On rest days, employees can enjoy a luxurious afternoon tea set provided by the hotel.

Napatthan put down her phone, clicking her tongue a few times. "With such a lavish afternoon tea, there aren’t many hotels in the entire Antai Kingdom that can offer this."

Meng Yuchen replied casually, "In Great Xia, many places have already started building large-scale breeding farms. Meat supply is no longer that scarce. You can’t compare Great Xia with the Antai Kingdom."

Napatthan set the wooden box by the edge of the pool, then slipped back into the water to continue soaking in the hot spring. After that, she took the food out of the box and arranged it on a small wooden table.

She knew her husband loved shrimp, so she first peeled the shells, then dipped the shrimp in the delicious sauce and fed it straight to his mouth.

Meng Yuchen didn’t need to do anything; he just had to enjoy.

Napatthan gazed at her husband with a beaming smile, her eyes filled with tender affection. Clearly, she was very happy to do this kind of thing.

This Antai Air Hostess—no, she should be called a former air hostess, because she resigned after marrying Meng Yuchen—was extremely satisfied with her current life.

Great Xia offered absolute security, enviable welfare, and her husband had a job with exceptionally generous benefits.

She still clearly remembered the looks of obvious envy on the faces of her friends and relatives in the Antai Kingdom when she told them her husband worked at Celestial Star Agriculture.

What Napatthan liked doing most in her free time was filming all kinds of everyday scenes from life in Great Xia, as well as Great Xia’s various pieces of Black Technology, and posting them on social networks in the Antai Kingdom—of course, making sure her friends and family saw them.

Every video she posted would make the Antai People incredibly jealous.

"It’s snowing outside!"

Meng Yuchen suddenly called out.

Napatthan glanced at the large one-way glass and immediately saw many black specks drifting down.

She let out a soft "mm": "Looks like the weather’s going to turn cold again."

In the past, changes in the weather would definitely have filled her with anxiety, because they often came hand in hand with brutal disasters and unknown numbers of deaths.

Now her mood didn’t ripple at all, because for Great Xia, this really was just a change in the weather.

Meng Yuchen sighed again. "When I was in elementary school, I read an essay called ’The Snow of North Island’. It talked about how romantic and tranquil North Island was, practically painting it as Heaven on earth.

"Back then Great Xia wasn’t as developed as it is now. After reading that essay, I developed a deep yearning for North Island and even thought about bringing my family here one day to travel and admire the snow."

He said this, then couldn’t help laughing. "Who could have known that North Island would actually become Great Xia’s territory now."

Everyone knew Sangzhou Country was just a front. In a few years a public referendum would be held here, and the final outcome would inevitably be only one—merging into Great Xia.

Napatthan stuffed another piece of shrimp into her husband’s mouth and offered her own opinion. "I feel like the snow here on North Island is just so-so. The snow scenery in Great Xia is still prettier."

She even gave an example. "Back during the cold wave disaster, I was still working for Antai Royal Airlines. One evening we flew over Great Xia’s Guangnan Province.

"I looked down from the window and saw mountain after mountain blanketed in snow. The setting sun was just right, casting the mountain tops into gold. It was the most beautiful snowy landscape I’ve ever seen in my life."

Napatthan spoke with utter conviction. "I don’t think North Island has snow scenery like that."

Looking at his wife’s face, Meng Yuchen suddenly remembered a saying—everyone has a pure land they yearn for in their heart.

In his youth, after being brainwashed by those advertorials, his pure land was the snow of North Island; his wife’s pure land was the snow of Great Xia.

"Vmm~"

The hot spring pool suddenly trembled, and ripples fanned out across the water’s surface in an instant.

Napatthan muttered under her breath, "Another quake."

The global earthquake had yet to fully end, and small aftershocks frequently occurred in most regions worldwide; she had already grown used to this.

Besides, this hotel was built with an ultra-high-strength frame structure, and its building materials were new materials of the Supernatural Era, enough to withstand a level-nine strong Zhen, so she wasn’t afraid at all.

Meng Yuchen stood up in the pool. "I’m done soaking! If I keep going my skin’s going to shrivel."

Napatthan quickly picked up a towel and carefully helped her husband dry the water off his body.

Meng Yuchen wrapped his arms around his wife and gave her a smacking kiss, earning a sweet smile in return.

He was just about to say something when he suddenly heard the alarm in the room.

"Wooo~"

At the same time.

"Doo! Doo!"

Both their phones started blaring urgent alerts simultaneously.

Meng Yuchen blurted out, "A disaster is coming!"

Napatthan grew a bit nervous. "The volcano on North Island isn’t about to erupt in a big Burst, is it?"

North Island already had several volcanic clusters. As global tectonic movements grew more active, the volcanoes on North Island had undergone several minor eruptions. Many people were worried there would be a major Burst like that of Mount Taifu in Pingjing’s Capital City.

To this day, the eruption of Mount Taifu had already lasted twenty days, and Pingjing’s Capital City was covered in a layer of volcanic ash.

Coupled with the devastation of the super tsunami, the Capital of the Ying Sang People had long since fallen into ruin. In private, the Ying Sang Duchy was even discussing whether they should choose a new location for the Capital.

Meng Yuchen quickly grabbed his phone, and his pupils shrank at once.

He saw an unexpected piece of news: "Estimated in twenty minutes, due to fluctuations in the spatial barrier, the Poisonous Ant disaster currently breaking out in the Sea of Death Black Sand will appear in certain areas of Canglan Star. A Spatial Rift has already appeared in the sky over Sangzhou Country where you are, and Poisonous Ant may enter Sangzhou Country."

Napatthan craned her neck for a look and froze. "What kind of monster is a Poisonous Ant?"
