Perhaps because they had been stuck in one place for a long time, after the flood receded, the survivors of Pengcheng, like wild horses free of their reins, began to appear all over Penisual.
After the flood, no one wanted to be crammed into small spaces with other people. The vast majority of survivors decided to move back home. Although their houses had been submerged by the flood, and the dampness inside hadn't completely dispersed, it was, after all, home.
Just like the saying goes, even a house of gold or silver isn't as good as their own doghouse.
When the flood receded, the office area that had been temporarily relocated to the top floors of skyscrapers was no longer suitable. After all, nobody wanted to climb thirty or so flights of stairs to get to and from work every day.
