"According to experts at the B City base, only underground mineral deposits can effectively protect against this acid rain. If there are no underground mineral deposits, you can choose to dig a hole at least ten meters deep underground to take shelter. Since the arrival time of the acid rain is unpredictable, please try to stay underground and do not go out..."

After listening to the entire broadcast, Lin Ruo was surprised. Jiang Yue and the others had even announced that underground minerals could resist acid rain. The bases that had found underground minerals were going to be in for a big commotion.

Although the B City base in the previous life also predicted acid rain, it only notified the senior management of each base, and did not announce it in a high-profile manner through broadcasting as it has now.

In the previous life, only the base's high-ranking officials, those with superpowers, and a few survivors close to the center of power knew that acid rain was coming. Out of consideration for power, these people in power did not let all the survivors know about it, for fear of causing panic and unrest.

Therefore, while those in power hid in underground bases tens of meters deep or under underground ore to avoid the acid rain, the ordinary survivors were caught off guard by the acid rain and corroded one by one, leaving not even bone fragments behind.

In this life, the people in power in City B have changed, and their methods are naturally different from those of the previous people. Ye Lin and his group want more people to survive this acid rain.

She turned off the radio that kept repeating itself and took out the communication terminal from her spatial storage. She had put the terminal away in her spatial storage before she went into the deep sea. At this moment, the terminal was displaying several unread messages.

"Sister Ruo, the acid rain is extremely corrosive this time. Experts here have found that only underground minerals are completely unaffected. If you don't have any there, you can come to the B City base for refuge—Jiang Yue."

"Base B is gathering all survivors to reinforce all buildings with underground ore, and has also moved many important items into the underground base. This acid rain is very strong. Sister Ruo, why don't you come to Base B to take shelter?" — Zhao Hui.

"Miss Lin, have you heard about the acid rain? If you don't have any underground minerals, you might consider taking refuge at our C City base. We sincerely welcome you—Xu Chenfeng."

Besides the messages from Jiang Yue and Zhao Hui, she also received a message from Xu Chenfeng. Seeing that the three of them unanimously suggested that she go to the base to take shelter, Lin Ru chuckled. It seemed that they all thought that the arrival of this acid rain was a good opportunity to recruit her, but she already had her own plans.

She thanked the three people in the terminal, but did not tell them her plans for the future.

She looked up and gazed through the window at the mutated forest where it was still raining heavily. Over the past six months, she had transplanted all the mutated plants that could be researched for medicinal properties into the mutated forest, partly to expand the forest's area and partly to accelerate the growth of these mutated plants.

The mutated forest surrounding the fortress has now expanded to a depth of over one kilometer. Combined with the width of the firebreak, Lin Ruo's spatial domain, standing within the fortress, can just cover the outermost edge of the mutated forest.

The upcoming acid rain will be global in scope. The plants that will be hardest to survive in this acid rain are the mutated plants. While people and animals can find places to take shelter from the rain, these plants can only stay in place and directly suffer from the erosion of the rainwater.

Although they can take root downwards, they can only preserve their root system at best; most of their bodies will still be dissolved in this acid rain.

And those mutated animals, although they can move, the corrosiveness of this acid rain is too strong. Ordinary shelters will collapse after a short time, not to mention that there are not enough shelters on this mountain to accommodate so many mutated animals.

The mutated plants and animals on the eastern mountain actually get along very well with Afu, Ashou, and especially Alu. Many of the mutated animals always stay around Alu and obey his commands.

Alu also shoulders the responsibility of protecting these mutated animals. She hasn't forgotten how many times mutated animals from other mountains have tried to attack the fortress, and it was always Alu leading these mutated animals to stand in front of it.

The mutated plants all follow the lead of A-Liu and Old White Horse, and even inform A-Liu and the others when they encounter any changes in the feng shui.

When intruders enter the eastern peak, these mutated plants can keep them out, serving as the first line of defense for the mountain.

So when acid rain comes, she actually hopes that they can survive.

With her level of ability, she could naturally store the entire mountain in her space. However, she couldn't trust the mutated plants and animals outside the mutated forest to that extent, unless there was a way to guarantee that they wouldn't damage her space after entering.

Even after the mutated plants in the mutated forest were stored in her space, she still had Ah Liu and Lao Bai go in to guard them, let alone the other mutated plants.

Lin Ruo rubbed her temples slightly, thinking of a way to satisfy both sides. This acid rain was going to last for three days, and with such a large area of ​​mutated forest, it was impossible to rely solely on superpowers.

She went into the living room, took out some puffed snacks from her storage space, and also took out a notebook. While eating, she wrote and drew in the notebook, constantly thinking of feasible solutions.

This mountain range is so vast that the acid rain in my previous life wasn't a heavy rain, but it wasn't light either; the rainfall was probably moderate. Given the conditions in this mountain forest, the soil and rocks would definitely be corroded.

No one knows how much the land will be corroded. Acid rain seeps into the soil, and even if the ground can be blocked by underground minerals, the roots will still be corroded by the acid rain in the soil.

After much thought, Lin Ruo would write down each method on the paper, only to cross it out again due to various issues.

An hour passed, and Lin Ruo looked at the scratches all over the paper, slowly closed her eyes. All the methods were based on the premise of keeping these plants on this mountain. No matter how she calculated, in the end, none of them worked. The best result was that all these mutated plants could retain their root systems.

She rubbed her temples, thinking the best solution was to transplant them all into her spatial dimension.

However, if she transplants all these mutated plants into the space, although she can control the space at will, she cannot pay attention to what is happening in the space all the time. How can she make them stay in the space obediently and not cause harm to the plants and animals in her space?

After thinking for a long time, she realized that she still needed underground ore and crystal shells to stop these mutated plants. She had already used a lot of underground ore to reforge the fortress, and she didn't know how much underground ore she had left in the space.

After her several upgrades, she had accumulated quite a few crystal core shells, but she could still estimate their quantity in her mind.

Thinking of this, Lin Ruo placed the bag of snacks in her hand on the coffee table in front of her, took out a wet wipe from it to wipe her dirty fingers, then leaned back on the sofa and focused her mental energy into the space.
