Chapter 161: Survive

Su Cheng's face looked very heavy. He just lied to everyone and said that it was the house without tempered glass that collapsed.

Ji Yanmo also came to the exit of the dungeon. He put his big hands on the wall and used his supernatural power. The lightning power penetrated the wall and came outside to find the place where the accident happened. Then he sighed. As Su Cheng said, the house without tempered glass had indeed collapsed.

The base is now riddled with holes and its original appearance is no longer visible.

The tempered glass has been corroded so badly that it will probably collapse tomorrow.

Ten days have passed since they moved into the underground city, and the heavy fog that the research team mentioned will not end for another ten days. In these ten days... the base will really be destroyed.

Maybe Hangzhou has disappeared.

Thinking about the situation after the thick fog ended, Ji Yanmo had a headache. Later, he found a suitable place and told Lu Xingtang about this matter. Lu Xingtang was also very heavy-hearted, but they had no good solution. They could only stay in the dungeon and wait for the thick fog to end.

Two more days passed, and they could still hear the rumbling sound. This time, it was the tempered glass being corroded. The house they had worked so hard to build collapsed in the thick fog and became a ruin.

After finally getting through the last ten days, Su Cheng was finally able to go out to check the base. He saw a mess and not a single building stood tall. Su Cheng's mentality collapsed immediately.

Even though they had anticipated this situation, how could they not collapse when they saw the Hope Base they had worked so hard to build destroyed?

Ji Yanmo let Su Cheng scream in pain. If screaming could make him feel better, then let him scream.

They looked around the entire base, and all the houses in the accommodation area, including their small Western-style building, were gone.

Fortunately, they moved all their daily necessities to the dungeon in advance, otherwise they would have nothing left.

The base hospital, base school and some commercial streets were not severely corroded, but it was not known whether they could hold out to the end.

Their plantations, farms, medicinal herb farms, major factories, etc. are all in good condition, because this is the foundation of the base. When making tempered glass, Su Cheng gritted his teeth and made three layers of tempered glass, so these places are all in good condition.

This was the only thing Su Cheng could be thankful for. Fortunately, he had withstood the pressure and built three layers of tempered glass in these places. If it were only one layer, it would have been gone.

After much hesitation, Su Cheng told this horrific news to all the survivors in the base so that they would know what was happening. At the same time, he told everyone to be frugal and not to waste food. If they wasted food now, they would all be waiting to die after the fog cleared.

Especially water, don't waste it. There is not much water left at the base.

The atmosphere in the dungeon suddenly became depressing. Except for the ignorant children who were still laughing and talking, the adults were silent, and even those who usually liked to make trouble quieted down.

Su Cheng walked through the crowd with a megaphone, constantly telling everyone, "The base is in trouble right now. I'm not asking you to share our hardships, I'm just asking you not to hold the base back! If you don't want to stay at Hope Base, you can leave after the fog clears."

For now, as long as we're at the base, please obey the base rules. Let's survive together, one day at a time! But please don't worry too much. As long as the fog dissipates, the base will definitely find a way to overcome this difficult time. Natural disasters are ruthless, but human beings are kind!

We hope that the base will not abandon any survivors, nor will they abandon the base. Even if Hangzhou is no longer viable, we will not give up easily."

Lu Xingtang saw that Su Cheng was so dedicated. Ever since the buildings at the base began to collapse, he had been so worried that he couldn't eat or sleep well. In just a few days, his hair already turned white.

At this moment, they deeply doubted whether it was right or wrong to hand over the base to Su Cheng.

Ji Yanmo silently comforted Lu Xingtang. No matter whether it was right or wrong, they had already done it. All they could do now was to follow Su Cheng and not leave Su Cheng alone.

Even if they were to flee, they couldn't leave even if the base collapsed.

So, they also found a megaphone and used it to shuttle through the crowd, working with Su Cheng to calm the worried survivors, telling them to stay calm and not cause trouble. At the same time, they also threatened those who liked to cause trouble, saying that if they did, they would be thrown out of the dungeon and corroded to death by the thick fog.

Maybe appeasement worked, maybe threats worked, or maybe no one wanted to die. Before the thick fog ended, even though there was a shortage of water and food, no one made a big fuss. There were some minor fuss, all because there was no water. But water is very scarce now and is only used for special groups of people.

"Why use water on them? We are also members of the base! Base Commander, you can't favor one over the other!"

"Base Commander, you must have hidden the water and deliberately refused to let us use it. Hand it over now! If you don't, don't blame us for digging up the dungeon!"

Seeing how tyrannical these people were, Lu Xingtang asked Assistant Fox for a gun and shot the man dead. "Who wants to continue causing trouble? Stand up, I'll give you a ride! The base is in crisis, and you parasites are actually wrongly accusing the base commander. If it weren't for the base commander, you would have died in the acid rain long ago! Being so conscienceless will be punished by God!"

Ji Yanmo directly ordered people to pull out the troublemakers and throw them out of the dungeon, regardless of their life or death.

Because of Ji Yanmo's behavior, those who wanted to use the disturbance to obtain supplies were scared and gave up the idea. The worse and more difficult the environment was, the less they wanted to die.

So we calmed down. The corrosiveness of the thick fog has eased in the past few days and is not as severe as before. But the fog was too heavy before, causing many buildings to collapse. Even though the corrosiveness of the thick fog has eased now, we can still hear the sounds of many buildings collapsing.

After enduring ten days of mild fog, three days of heavy fog came again. This time everyone pricked up their ears to listen to the noises outside. Perhaps because the buildings had almost collapsed, they did not hear much noise.

During these three days, Su Cheng felt like each day was a year, pacing back and forth. Because supplies were dwindling, water was gone, and people's hearts were unstable, their method of killing the chicken to scare the monkeys could only work temporarily, but not long-term.

There was water in Lu Xingtang's space, but it was not convenient to take it out and use it. The water tower in the base was guarded and no one was allowed to approach the water tower. Even if she wanted to add some of the water she had stored before to the base, she couldn't find a time.

Hearing the complaints outside and looking at the white hair on Su Cheng's temples, Lu Xingtang pursed her lips again. She would wait until the thick fog ended and then take good care of Su Cheng's body, so that he would not collapse before the natural disaster was over.

As everyone was counting the time on their fingers, the last three days of heavy fog finally passed.
