Chapter 270: Acquiring Food in the Future
The rain outside the window was still falling like a constant curtain over the city almost in complete ruin. Grandpa Chu looked outside and used his divine sense to check what was happening. Finding that the flood water had reached the fourth floor and was faster approaching the fifth floor, he lamented at the quietly festering city.
All the glory and majesty of such a big city had been buried under water. As someone who had survived through the great war, famine, and various economic crises, he felt overwhelmed by the sheer destruction of the apocalypse.
He was glad that his ancestors sacrificed so much to learn about the future and made preparations by forging the soul ring. He was almost sure that after the flood and probably some other disasters, the soil would not be suitable to grow crops.
At that time, food will become even more scarce. They were lamenting about having excess food in the soul ring but in a couple of years or even less, they might have to plow more land in the space to plant more crops.
Thinking of such a situation, they probably had to recruit some trustworthy people who can work as farmers in the space to ensure that crops are planted and harvested at the right time. The animals would also be taken care of and their produce well handled when required.
However, at the moment, they had other things to do. Therefore, Chu Zheng stopped letting his thoughts run wild and walked to the living room to sit with the younger generation.
The Li siblings were surprised when they saw the four elders of the Chu family. They looked much younger than when they last saw them.
Grandpa Chu and the butler looked like they were in his fifties and not an old man in his seventies. Chu Mo and his wife He Yan looked like they were in their thirties. It was unscientific to age backwards the way this family had.
Indeed, the Chu family was not as simple as it looked. They had deep secrets that could cause a war to break out if exposed. The fact that they were willing to share some of these secrets with them proved that at least they had a certain level of trust in their family, which was a good thing.
If they proved to be loyal friends, they might gain more and their family could survive easily in the apocalypse.
"Hello grandpa Chu, hello grandpa Cheng, hello auntie and uncle."The three Li siblings stood up and greeted the elders together when they saw them approaching.
Although they had many thoughts in their mind, they couldn’t forget their manners.
"Hello hello...sit down. No need to stand on ceremony with grandpa." Grandpa Chu said with a hearty laugh before inviting them to sit back down.
