167: Chapter 167 Global Panic, Jingwei Filling the Sea

After receiving the SSSSS-level secret telegram from the Naval Department Base.

All major aircraft carriers immediately began emergency maneuvers.

The Dragon Cry stopped at a port near Somalia.

The Dragon Soul stopped at Sakura City.

The Dragon God stopped at the Antarctic landing point.

Sister Li, leading the Chiyao Aircraft Carrier, stopped at Sri Lanka.

The other aircraft carriers being refitted at Penglai Port, led by the Tongtian Aircraft Carrier, headed north all the way to Zhujiang Port for safety.

[What's going on? Why is Dragon Country's Dragon Soul aircraft carrier fleet docked in our Sakura City?]

Netizens from Sakura City were very curious.

Since the United States aircraft carrier was taken out, Sakura City hasn't had an aircraft carrier stationed there for a while.

Seeing a Dragon Country aircraft carrier move in suddenly gave them the sensation of enjoying dripping wax again.

Painful yet pleasurable.

[What's the big deal? Who cares why it's docked here? Isn't it just changing a dog leash?]

The Heisei-era shut-ins were calm, even unable to resist adding an extra Wallace chicken drumstick to their dinner.

But soon.

As news of the Dragon Cry and Sister Li stopping came in sequence.

Global shipping groups also began releasing announcements about rising shipping prices.

[What's the situation? A jar of kimchi I bought from Kimchi Country had $100 added for shipping halfway through? Why don't you just rob me?]

[Yeah, I just realized I was automatically charged a shipping fee. How bizarre, raising prices mid-transit?]

Facing the questions of many netizens.

Official accounts from the United States, Western Europe, and Dragon Country issued relevant warnings in turn.

"Earth's oceans are expanding; shipping prices are skyrocketing without stopping. Tourists are advised to be cautious when going out to sea..."

Meanwhile, some private media outlets reported that after the ocean expansion, some private cruise ships were stranded at sea without energy supplies because they hadn't returned to port in time, leaving them waiting for rescue.

[Damn it! I was planning to go out for National Day, but now the ocean has suddenly grown larger, and my round-the-world plan is ruined!]

[Forget the round-the-world plan. If the ocean keeps expanding, will the land be submerged?]

[Holy crap! You're right, my house is by the seaside.]

[Hahaha, fortunately, my home is at the foot of Mount Everest. It's very safe!]

After briefly complaining, netizens suddenly realized: if the ocean keeps expanding, wouldn't it threaten the land?

Some coastal residents immediately fell into a panic and began planning to migrate inland.

Air tickets leaving the coast instantly rose from a few hundred to several thousand.

It was even hard to find a ticket for tens of thousands of yuan.

People could only take trains to head inland.

Such events began to occur in various countries around the world.

At first.

Countries would step forward to reassure everyone not to panic.

But as shipping prices continued to rise, people found that the ocean was still expanding, routes were still growing longer, and some shipping groups even faced large-scale resignations of sailors.

After all.

With the ocean suddenly expanding, a single trip out to sea could last months, and if they couldn't make it back...

[Everyone, don't panic. Our country's aircraft carriers are on the front lines of the ocean. If there's a problem, we will definitely notify everyone as soon as possible.]

Dragon Country issued a notice.

Although the officials weren't quite sure how the ocean would expand, they didn't stop coastal residents from migrating inland.

After all.

Faced with a crisis of survival, any person would subconsciously move away from danger.

"Honey, I'm going back to the country first. You stay at the port and don't wander off."

After seeing Sister Li and the Chiyao Aircraft Carrier enter the port in Sri Lanka, Jiang Chen said to Xue Yao.

Jiang Xiaoran was still in Zhujiang City.

If the ocean really expanded and submerged the coast, he was worried something would happen to Jiang Xiaoran.

Xue Yao also knew Jiang Chen's plan. She said to him, "Don't worry, hubby, I'll take care of myself. Hurry back to the country."

"Mhm."

Jiang Chen gave her a kiss.

He rubbed her belly and smiled, "This sudden ocean expansion will definitely go down in human history. How about we name the boy Jiang Haipeng?"

"Jiang Haipeng? Ugh, what a rustic name!"

The two were affectionate for a while.

After leaving five Terracotta Warriors for Xue Yao, Jiang Chen drove the small fishing boat back to the country.

He also brought the experimental box from the Scientific Research Station back to the Longke Academy.

Jiang Chen handed the items to Xia Zhongxun immediately.

"Dean, Professor Shen asked us to bring this back. Please hurry and study it."

"As far as I know, they've almost figured out some of those old monsters from the Heavenly Court."

After Jiang Chen finished explaining.

He left the Longke Academy.

Xia Zhongxun looked bewildered.

The Longke Academy had always had collaborative research with the Scientific Research Station.

"What old monsters from the Heavenly Court?"

"What is this kid blabbering about?"

"Could it be that Old Shen and the others actually managed to research a monkey?"

Xia Zhongxun shook his head with a smile.

Professor Shen Wanyu mainly researched crops and dealt with plants and fungi all year round.

How could he research old monsters from the Heavenly Court?

...

After Jiang Chen returned to the Qingyu Residential District.

He found that Jiang Xiaoran was not at home.

He checked the date.

It happened to be working hours.

So he gave Jiang Xiaoran a call.

"Xiaoran, where are you now?"

From the other end came Jiang Xiaoran's somewhat immature but firm voice: "Uncle, I'm not at the Tianshen Group. I'm currently at the Zhujiang City Flood Control Volunteer Center!"

Jiang Chen was stunned.

He thought Jiang Xiaoran was still selling Mengpo Soup at the Tianshen Group.

"Flood Control Volunteer Center? What kind of flood can a little girl like you fight!"

Jiang Chen asked irritably.

If the ocean expands, the coast will be submerged.

This is hardly flood control!

This is clearly Jingwei filling the sea!

Jiang Xiaoran said loudly, "Exactly! Our operation is called Jingwei Fills the Sea! Even if we have to carry rocks in our teeth, we will fill in the overflowing ocean."

"Wait there, I'll help you fill it."

Jiang Chen headed straight for the Zhujiang City Flood Control Volunteer Center.

In the hall, there were already many young men and women wearing life jackets, seemingly doing drills and training.

"Next, let's welcome Jiang Xiaoran, the captain of our Jingwei Fills the Sea Team, to come up and say a few words."

A volunteer staff member said to the audience.

Jiang Xiaoran stood up with a solemn expression and took a stride, wanting to dash up handsomely.

As a result.

With a thud.

Her instep hit the step, and she fell flat on her face.

"Ah!"

Everyone hurried forward to help her up.

Jiang Xiaoran waved her hand and stood up through gritted teeth. "I'm fine, I'm fine. Now, let me say a few words..."

As Jiang Xiaoran was speaking, she noticed a young man walking up.

With a quick step, he reached out and grabbed her ear.

"Hey, hey, hey! Let go of me!"

Jiang Xiaoran yelled.

Jiang Chen pulled her ear. "You, filling the sea? Even ten thousand of you wouldn't be enough to fill it."

He glanced around at the surrounding volunteers.

"And you guys."

"Hurry home."

"Everyone go back to your own homes and find your own mothers!"

Seeing this, the volunteers said indignantly, "Who are you?! We're doing charity work, flood control, and disaster relief!"

Jiang Chen gave them a flat look.

"Even if the sky falls, the aircraft carriers on the front lines will hold it up. Just hurry up and evacuate inland."

After saying that.

He left while pulling Jiang Xiaoran by the ear.
