House Witch

Chapter 519 518. The end is coming

Just like that, the end has come.

At first, it was just a volcanic eruption that no one cared about, but when people came to their senses, the entire world had been occupied by various natural disasters.

Drought, flood, tornado, earthquake, tsunami, meteorite, acid rain, hail

Various disasters that only occurred once in a hundred or even a thousand years are now gathering together, taking turns in just one year, destroying the entire world.

During this process, the world cried and howled, all creatures were devastated, hell became a reality, and the post-apocalyptic era began.

A year ago, the total population of the Sorcerous Republic was nearly 50 billion, but now, the remaining population that can be counted is less than 5 billion.

Pandora City, as the capital of the Sorcerous Republic, this holy city is still extremely prosperous even in this post-apocalyptic era. Even in this short year, this already huge city has expanded by dozens of times. times.

On the outskirts of the original old city, satellite cities connected to it have sprung up. However, after all, it is a city built in a hurry, and it inevitably has many problems. The most obvious problem is probably these new satellite cities. The buildings are simply too dense.

The rows of towering residential buildings are neat and uniform, as if someone pressed copy on the computer and directly copied countless copies of the same template, and then filled these satellite cities with them.

Urban planning, green living, and all the things that cities in the old era should have no longer exist in these satellite cities. Everything here is only to meet one purpose, and that is the most basic survival.

If you look down at these satellite cities from a high altitude, you will find that these so-called residential buildings are more like "pigeon nests", or more like lifeless tombstones.

"No matter how many times I see this scenery, it still looks lifeless."

Hela stood on the balcony, looking up at the sky that was very dark because of the volcanic ash, and it was difficult to see the sun, and then she couldn't help but complain like this.

"Of course, it's the end of the world after all."

My sister Agatha, who was busy in the room, heard her sister sighing, and she also said a little sadly.

However, the little girl soon readjusted her mentality, and then smiled and enlightened her older sister, who had always been a little depressed.

"At least we can still see the sunshine and enjoy the wind occasionally, right? This is much happier than those who are assigned to underground shelters, where there is no real sunlight."

"That's true."

After stopping her sister's comfort, Hela nodded, somewhat agreeing.

Not all cities are strong enough to stand firm under the continuous natural disasters. In fact, there were originally tens of thousands of cities in the Sorcerous Republic, but now there are only ten cities of various sizes left.

Those ten cities were originally the most prosperous first-tier cities in the Magic Republic in the past. The city construction was very complete and all kinds of defense facilities were complete. Even the end of the world would be difficult to destroy these top cities that had established their own system.

After the doomsday comes, countless small town refugees who have lost their homes naturally converge towards these ten giant cities.

In order to accommodate these refugees, satellite cities of various sizes were built around these giant cities.

But even though these satellite cities have abandoned all non-essential facilities and all the space is used to house people, there is still not enough space. After all, it is really difficult to cram 5 billion people into just ten cities.

Therefore, being forced to have no choice but to dig deeper, the major cities began to dig downwards, and countless underground shelters were built, barely giving everyone a place to stay.

Although these residential buildings, which are as small as pigeon cages and look like tombstones as a whole, are often complained about, happiness really comes from contrast. When I think of those "soil poachers" who are really "buried" in underground shelters, they are often criticized. Rats" and "caged pigeons" suddenly felt a sense of superiority in their hearts.

the only problem is

"It's so cold."

The biting cold wind blew by, and Hela shivered, then tightened her coat and walked back into the house.

"It doesn't matter if the wind doesn't blow, there's nothing good about it."

It would be fine if it was a normal wind blowing on your face, but in this horrible weather where volcanic ash blocks the sky and the temperature plummets all over the world, wind is not a good thing.

Even though the strong wind that could have blown the thin man away had been greatly reduced by the weakening of the windbreak wall outside the city, the biting chill in the wind was still unacceptable.

Thinking about it this way, it seems that the "groundhogs" living underground are actually living more comfortably.

"Okay, sister, it's time to eat."

At this time, Agatha in the room had also finished breakfast, and she greeted her sister.

"Well, what are you going to eat today? Well, it's mushy again."

Hela, who had just been hit by the cold wind and was rubbing her hands to breathe, walked to the dining table. The original meal time should have been relatively happy, but when she saw the two bowls of white goo on the table that were really uninteresting, , suddenly crossed his face.

"It's a liquid nutrition meal. Well, it's actually a bit of a mush."

Agatha corrected her sister, but the little girl looked at the two bowls of unappetizing mush herself, with a hint of disgust on her face.

But there is no way. Who said it was the end of the world? Food resources are not sufficient to begin with. Under such circumstances, it is already very difficult to feed everyone. As for eating well, then don’t Think about it.

"Thank you, Prime Minister, for your gift, so that we don't have to endure hunger."

Agatha reached out and clenched her fist, lightly punched her chest three times, and then prayed like this.

"You are really pious. Don't you think it's troublesome to do this before every meal?"

Hela looked at her sister's movements, blinked her eyes full of dark circles, and then yawned, feeling this way.

Although she did have to admit that although everyone now had two meals a day, at least they did not have to go hungry thanks to the Prime Minister who just took office a year ago.

The new Prime Minister took office at the beginning of the end, and the investiture ceremony at that time was also the last celebration of the Sorcerous Republic.

But this Prime Minister is indeed very capable.

As soon as she came to power, she established the Ten Giant Cities as the center, requiring all resources of the Sorcerous Republic to be concentrated in the Ten Giant Cities as much as possible. She also formulated a food priority strategy, requiring each major city to vigorously build underground ecological farms, and must ensure that food security, but also

In short, those inexplicable strategies caused an uproar throughout the Magic Republic. Many people thought that the Prime Minister might be a fool who didn't understand anything, and they were clamoring for her to step down.

But now, when the doomsday has really come, people look back on the past and realize that the Prime Minister's decree is really superfluous. It is these policies that were criticized by everyone at the beginning that now maintain everyone's survival.

Moreover, in this post-apocalyptic era, people are always insecure. They need a belief to place their hope, and the Prime Minister who saved everyone's lives is a good choice.

"The Prime Minister is not only the Prime Minister, she is also the Pope of our Mechanicus. It is absolutely right to believe in her."

Agatha explained her sister's complaints like this. When she mentioned the Prime Minister, the little girl's eyes lit up.

"hehe."

In response, Hela just smiled and said nothing. She lowered her head and started to drink the bowl of paste in front of her.

Well, even though it doesn’t look good, it’s actually not unpleasant to drink. Even if you don’t drink it every day, you’ll get a little tired of it. This thing can even be considered delicious.

And just like its famous name "fluid nutrition meal", this thing is indeed nutritionally balanced. After one bowl, people with small appetites will not feel hungry throughout the day.

"By the way, Agatha, how have you been at work recently? Are you not too tired?"

Hela thought of something and asked.

In this post-apocalyptic era, there are no resources to support idle people. Everyone has to work. Even the sister opposite has just grown up, but she has also been assigned a job. As the older sister, she feels it is necessary to care about her younger sister's work. .

"It's okay. I just grow vegetables on the farm. It's not as hard as your sister, moving bricks at the construction site."

The little girl shook her head and said that she was fine, but it was her sister who had worked hard.

"I'm actually pretty good at it. I quite like my current job."

Hela smiled when she heard about her sister's relationship. She reached out and rubbed her sister's head to comfort her.

In this way, in this kind of sisterly filial piety, the two sisters drank the glutinous rice together, then simply cleaned up and prepared to go to work.

only

"Huh, acting is so damn tiring. Fortunately, this cheap sister didn't notice my flaws."

As soon as she went out, the originally soft and weak Agatha breathed a sigh of relief. She looked around nervously, and when she saw that no one was looking at her, she turned around and went into a small alley nearby.

Then, a magically dressed girl wearing a neat green uniform rode a jet broomstick and flew quickly towards the central city of Pandora in the distance.

As she flew closer to the city, many girls in magic costumes who were also wearing green uniforms greeted her respectfully when they saw her.

"Hello, Agatha-senpai."

"Good morning, President."

"Hello, Mr. Minister."

Well, that's right, although on the surface she is just a young girl who has just grown up, in fact Agatha has another identity, that is, she is a witch, and she is also an outstanding student who is ranked high in the witch academy.

She is the vice-president of the Wine of Fertility Club, one of the top ten clubs in the college, and the potion master known as the "Witch of the Woods".

Of course, leaving aside the responsibilities of the academy for the moment, she is also the Deputy Minister of Agriculture of the Magic Republic, and she is now responsible for the construction and cultivation of all underground farms.

Well, to a certain extent, she really didn't lie to her sister. She is indeed a farmer now.

"Agatha, aren't you tired from running so far every day? Why don't you have a showdown with your sister? It would be nice to move to the city together."

As soon as Agatha arrived at the Ministry of Agriculture, a graceful green-haired beauty came up to her and said to her.

This is Daphne, the president of Wine of Abundance, Agatha's current boss, and the current Minister of Agriculture of the Sorcerous Republic.

"It's not necessary, President, who asked me to come and occupy the body of my sister? I have to play this role well, and my sister is also a very good person."

Facing her friend's words, Agatha shook her head and refused.

If she could, she still didn't want to ruin the normal interpersonal relationship of this descendant. Moreover, she had always been an only child in the past and now she had an older sister, which felt quite novel.

The most important thing is.

Well, sister, she is really beautiful.

"Okay, work, let's talk later. Today I'm going to improve the taste of the liquid nutrition meal. I'll try out a few more flavors to eat, otherwise I'll really get tired of it."

Agatha said this, and then she was ready to go to work.

But Daphne stopped her.

"Wait a minute, follow me to the palace first. Today is the regular meeting. Didn't you give me a brand new breeding plan a few days ago? I'm not as proficient in the field of planting as you are. You can tell it to the Prime Minister yourself. .”

"Ah this? Entering the palace? Doesn't that mean?"

Thinking that she might face her idol later, Agatha's spirits were shaken, and then she was a little ecstatic.

As a mechanical monk, she admires the Grand Pope, as the Minister of Agriculture, she admires the Prime Minister, and as a witch student, she admires the eldest lady.

But because the Archpope is the Prime Minister and the Eldest Lady, a trinity, the three points of admiration merged into one and became Agatha's current mood.

Yeah. It's a great day today.

And the other side.

"Huh, having a sister actually feels not bad. At least I don't have to worry about life after coming out of the laboratory."

Seeing that her sister had already gone out, Hela was relieved. Then she waited for a few minutes before opening the door.

However, what was connected behind her door was not a normal corridor, but a gloomy and silent underground space.

Even if you listen carefully, you can hear the wailing sounds of various souls very clearly.

Most people might be startled by this kind of supernatural event, but Hela was used to it. She strode out of the room, and then, a judge wearing a skull mask and a dark uniform walked into the underworld. space.

Zhanxing raised his head and looked behind him, but he didn't see the door he came from. Behind him there was only a huge door that looked ancient and majestic, and there were three big characters on the door.

gate of hell.

"Tsk, what a bad taste, Mr. Clown."

Zhanxing shook her head, and then strode forward. As one of the main architects of the New Hades Plan, she was very busy at work. If she didn't hurry up, she would have to work overtime again tonight, and her sister would tell her if she went back too late.

He has taken over someone else's sister's body, so he always has to be a good sister.

Well, she didn't lie to her sister before. She was indeed a brick mover at the construction site, but she moved the soul bricks instead, so the building she built was named Hades.

However, she had just taken a few steps when a magic knight in black robes walked towards her opposite.

"Urgent notice, Zhan Xing, please follow me into the palace for a meeting first."

"Okay, Director Qiong."

Zhanxing had no choice but to stop, and then said respectfully to this majestic and beautiful mature woman who looked about 30 years old.

Well, although she is a witch, and the mature manager opposite is just a plot NPC in Witch Night, this still does not hinder the respect of Zhan Xing, after all

Tsk, this is the ancestor.

The judge is in a complicated mood

After thinking about it, I still can't bear to give up this second leave request note. Now is not the time to use it. I have to save it until the end of the month.
