Inside a government conference hall in the capital of the Dragon Kingdom, an old man looked at the horrific scene outside the government building. A torrential downpour of red, corrosive acid rain suddenly poured down from the sky, like blood-red waterfalls, carrying a strong corrosive odor.

Rainwater dripped onto the ground, immediately corroding a smoky cave and releasing plumes of rotten, pungent stench.

Some people on the bustling streets didn't have time to escape, their skin corroded and rotting away inch by inch. Those around them screamed in terror as they scattered and hid. Stampedes were happening everywhere; it was a living hell.

He was extremely anxious, but there was nothing he could do but urgently engage in dialogue with all the top leaders. He was the highest-ranking leader in the capital, a wise man and a decision-maker.

"We must take immediate action to thwart this disaster!" The old man frowned deeply.

"Sir, where does this corrosive acid rain come from? Are we capable of combating it?" a high-ranking official asked.

"This is an unknown force, possibly some kind of vicious creature or a man-made disaster. We need to organize research immediately to find a solution. At the same time, notify all citizens to evacuate to a safe area immediately!" the high-ranking official speculated.

"This highly corrosive acid rain is global and could not have been man-made. What country has the ability to bring such a destructive substance to the whole world?"

However, the most important thing now is that we need to organize research immediately and find a solution.

"At the same time, notify all citizens to evacuate to a safe area immediately!" the old man objected.

The high-ranking officials nodded in agreement; they all knew the old man's wisdom and decisiveness. The entire city was quickly evacuated, and the government began organizing a team of experts to conduct research.

In an underground laboratory, scientists are working intensely. They are analyzing the components of acid rain, trying to find ways to combat it.

"We've discovered a substance that can neutralize corrosive acid rain!" a young scientist exclaimed excitedly.

"Bring it here quickly! We need to manufacture enough to protect the city's safety as soon as possible!" The old man's voice was full of determination.

In the emergency, scientists worked day and night to conduct experiments and manufacture the substance. Finally, they successfully synthesized a substance that could neutralize acid rain.

"Unfortunately, this is a global phenomenon, so the research can only be used as a sample now. That person said the acid rain only lasted for a week, followed by three months of massive global torrential rains," the old man said with some distress.

"Sir, what should we do next?" someone asked anxiously, seemingly having heard the old man's words.

"After the rainstorm comes the flood disaster. That person said that the corrosiveness of acid rain will decompose to the point that it is harmless to human skin after being mixed with the rainstorm in three days at most."

"We'll mobilize everyone to search the whole country for edible materials. Otherwise, after the torrential rains stop, not only will the tsunami following the floods cause toxic marine pollution, but everything will be contaminated," the old man said, gazing into the distance with a leisurely plan.

"Understood!" After saying that, all the senior executives went to attend to their respective tasks.

After news of acid rain and other natural disasters spread, tens of thousands of young people, upon learning that a major acid rainstorm would occur in a few days, set off several days in advance carrying their largest hiking backpacks and various supplies.

They all headed towards the refuge on the ten highest peaks of the famous tourist attraction, Gliding Ridge Imperial City.

These shelters range in altitude from 7,800 meters to over 6,000 meters, and were later built to prevent flooding.

Tens of thousands of people climbed for two days, and some with poorer physical condition even climbed for three days. Finally, when they reached the top of the ten gliding ridges, it was already pitch black.

The rain poured down, accompanied by thunder and lightning, making all the shelters on the mountaintop appear exceptionally solemn, like isolated fortresses.

"Great! These ten mountain peaks really do have shelters, and there are dozens on each mountaintop. It seems that the news released some time ago was true."

"These shelters look very high-tech and sturdy. They should be able to withstand acid rain corrosion!" a young man said breathlessly as he packed his backpack.

“This place is much more fortified than where we live. If this place can't hold out, then nowhere can.”

I heard that the properties here belong to Junjue, the head of the five major conglomerates in the capital. He knew in advance that the acid rain and torrential rain were coming, and only a few months ago did he have professionals build shelters here, and then announce the shelters to the public.

"Since we'll be drowning sooner or later in low-lying areas anyway, we might as well bring more supplies here and avoid future floods and tsunamis."

Before the group could finish speaking, dark clouds began to gather in the sky, accompanied by lightning and thunder, foreshadowing a terrible disaster that was about to befall them.

People entered the shelter one after another, and the noise gradually subsided. The hall was filled with luggage and people, and all the seats and beds were occupied, leaving people to lean against the corners or on the floor. A sense of oppression and unease permeated the air.

Several hours later, a torrential downpour of red, corrosive acid rain suddenly poured down from the sky, like blood-red waterfalls, emitting a corrosive, pungent stench.

"This acid rain looks a hundred times more terrifying than any previous torrential downpour," a middle-aged man whispered to the person next to him.

“Yes, even the capital is being corrupted. I wonder if it’s safe here?” his companion replied.

The people in the shelter talked to each other, and everyone was filled with worry and fear.

At that moment, a girl stood up. She looked to be only fifteen or sixteen years old. She was tall, with long hair flowing over her shoulders, and her eyes shone with a determined light.
