Rainstorms, extreme cold, earthquakes, mutated plants and animals, extreme heat, acid rain, blizzards… various natural disasters come one after another, the established order collapses, survival ...
Ye Lin was just considering this issue when he heard it arrive so quickly. He remembered the mudslide that had occurred during the hottest period of the year. Without hesitation, he said, "Go and communicate with Chen Yu. Ask him to send some ability users to assist you. Build the fortifications as soon as possible and keep them on standby. Try to minimize casualties."
The large amount of snowmelt flowing down from the mountaintop has already caused great trouble for their work. Due to the rising temperature, the snowflakes that were falling from the sky have now turned into torrential rain. This mountain was built by human hands, so how could it withstand such torrential rain and water flow? In just one hour, the soil on the mountain began to slide down with the water flow. It started from a small area at the top of the mountain and moved down further down, bringing with it more and more soil. This is how a mudslide was formed.
Although the mudslide was within the predicted range of the B City base, it still terrified the ordinary survivors in the base. Before, when they were in B City, they at least had city walls and houses to protect them. Now, they just stood outside their tents, watching helplessly as the sea of mud rushed towards them.
Li Wei hugged Dou Dou tightly. Dou Dou was so frightened that she buried her head in his shoulder and dared not look at him. Qian Li stood beside him. Now she could face such a scene directly. There were millions of people around them. In the face of such a natural disaster, running away was a luxury.
The superpowered members of the superpowered team were already waiting in their designated positions. As the mudslide rushed down, they immediately raised their various colored shields, and streams of superpowers shot into the sky, instantly connecting to form a huge barrier in front of the B City base camp.
The mudslide, which was terrifying to ordinary people, crashed heavily against the barrier, but the barrier remained as strong as ever. The mudslide eventually flowed to the sides of the barrier, perfectly avoiding the B City camp.
The mudslide didn't last long, stopping in just over ten minutes. The superhumans withdrew their powers, and the survivors behind them all breathed a sigh of relief. They were all thinking how lucky they were to have these superhumans. At that moment, they forgot all about how they had complained about how well the superhumans were treated and how lenient the punishments were when they were at the B City base.
Just as everyone breathed a sigh of relief, and Ye Lin was about to give further orders, bad news came from the laboratory: "We conducted a systematic test on the smoke and dust in the air and found that it contains a large number of harmful substances. These substances are not absorbed by the human body, but they will accumulate in the lungs and cannot be expelled. If the human body continues to inhale them, the consequences can range from being bedridden and requiring surgery to being life-threatening."
"Moreover, these dust particles are very small and insoluble in water. Once they are dispersed into the air, they are difficult to settle back to the ground. Currently, due to the heavy rain, the dust concentration is not high, but once the rain stops, the dust concentration will increase dramatically, making the situation difficult to control. Moreover, we have not yet found any chemical substances that can react with these dust particles, so we can only take physical precautions for now."
Upon hearing about such a threat, the several high-ranking officials present involuntarily held their breath, realizing they were now in such an environment.
"Is there any solution? Will the masks we made before be able to block this kind of smoke and dust?" Jiang Yue asked urgently, frowning.
The experimenter, holding the experimental report, nodded and said, "These dust particles are quite large. A slightly finer mask or face shield can block them. However, since the dust is everywhere, those masks and face shields will eventually have to be taken off, and some will still be inhaled."
Upon hearing this, Ye Lin's already furrowed brows deepened even further. "Then let's hurry up and get a few more batches of masks or face shields, at least enough so that everyone has two or three. As for the issue of taking off the masks, we'll figure out a solution later."
They didn't know when the smoke and dust would disappear, but the magma rising couldn't continue indefinitely. With such a large amount of water on the ground, it would eventually seal all the cracks, and perhaps then there would be some hope.
"Let's proceed according to our pre-arranged plan."
"yes!"
The entire B City base was in a state of chaos during this natural disaster, but they were considered relatively lucky. Many other bases had detected the existence of the cracks, but the area around the bases was already covered by snow for safety reasons, and they didn't have enough helicopters to take everyone away.
So when the lava surged, there were still many survivors in these bases. These survivors did not have any special abilities, and they had no way to cope with such a natural disaster. They could only watch helplessly as they were slowly submerged by the lava surging in from all directions.
The mutated plants that were already dormant were also unable to move, but the mutated animals, sensing danger, all rushed towards safety.
But in reality, these people had already died when they were engulfed by the lava. When the lava came into contact with the snow, the steam that rose up enveloped them first. The temperature of this white mist was over 100 degrees Celsius, and these people were scalded to death by the intense steam.
The lava eventually engulfed the bodies of these people.
Vast amounts of lava surged from the ground, instantly turning the surrounding area into a white world where nothing grew.
Many bases are unable to detect deep underground fissures due to insufficient equipment. When the fissures erupt, only a few superhumans manage to escape using their abilities, while the rest are swallowed up.
Even if those people escape, they don't know where the safe direction is. There are crisscrossing cracks everywhere, and it's very likely that they will fall into the tiger's den as soon as they escape from the wolf's den. The end of their escape may be the swallowing range of another crack.
Life and death are insignificant in the face of such a natural disaster. The lava gushing from the ground is like a scythe that harvests people's lives. Every swing takes away a large number of lives.
Two years after the blizzard, just as humans and mutated plants and animals were recovering and starting to develop, the natural disaster struck like a blow to the head, shattering their peaceful lives and breaking down their mental defenses.
Many people who survived this natural disaster had no choice but to break down in tears. Many others faced the pain of separation and death. And many newborns had closed their eyes forever before they even had a chance to see the beauty of this world.
Natural disasters and apocalyptic events occur one after another, like a net that is constantly tightening and a fishing line that is constantly being pulled. Just when people think there is hope for a new life, an even more severe natural disaster comes down, constantly tormenting all species living on this earth and making them lose all hope of survival.
