Chapter 455 The "Aftermath" of the Natural Disaster

Darkness enveloped the earth; people faced pitch blackness, unable to see their own hands or fingers, and could not see any light at all.

Faced with such a natural disaster, many survivors have given up, no longer clinging to any will to live. Their homes are gone, their families are gone, and they are all alone. Now they can't even survive on their own.

In the hearts of these people, this natural disaster could never stop, and perhaps they would only be truly free when the flame of their lives was extinguished.

But the world did leave humanity a way out; this devastating magma attack did not last long.

It took only a week for the magma to erupt violently from the various fissures and be completely covered by water. The outward surging stopped, and the scorching magma turned into layers of black rock underwater. Although the temperature of these rocks and the surrounding water was very high, they no longer posed a threat to humans.

In just one week, the world has undergone tremendous changes. The snow that once covered the ground, reaching depths of tens of meters, has now all melted into a boundless ocean, merging with the previous ocean. In some places, the depth has even reached hundreds of meters.

In these places eroded by magma, even the high mountains have been swallowed by huge cracks and magma, and then covered by seawater. The land on which people depend for survival no longer exists.

Only in those lucky cities where there are no cracks nearby will the mountains within the region emerge from the water, once again becoming a haven for people, allowing those who survived this natural disaster and the plants and animals to continue living there for a short time.

However, it is not so easy for these people to survive, because the natural disasters have not completely disappeared. Such a massive outbreak has left behind serious aftereffects.

First, the energy that surged out with the underground magma did not disappear. Due to the excess energy in the air, the mutated plants and animals began to grow rapidly, at an extremely fast pace, completely outpacing the growth rate of humans.

On the high mountains where the survivors lived, all the mutated plants that had shrunk into the soil due to acid rain and blizzards have revived and emerged from the soil. The humans living around them have become the nutrients for their growth. Although the superhumans could barely maintain a balance at first, as the gap in strength between the two sides widens and the number of mutated plants increases, the balance will inevitably tilt towards the mutated plants.

At that time, it will be difficult for humans to survive on this entire remaining mountain.

Moreover, there are the mutated sea monsters that have returned due to the expansion of sea levels. They are stronger and more terrifying than these mutated land monsters.

These factors have all had a significant impact on human life and development since then.

Secondly, the smoke and dust that were billowing out had not disappeared. The B City base had discovered that these things were harmful to the human body and had issued a statement to spread the word within the past seven days. However, under such circumstances, how many people could live with their faces covered all the time? No matter how careful they were, inhaling smoke and dust was inevitable; it was just a matter of how long they could survive.

Finally, there is the severe reduction in land area. Although many humans died or were injured in this crisis, many were lucky enough to survive. However, the reduction in land area means that their survival resources will be drastically reduced. In such an environment, they will not have enough to eat or wear, and there will be no medicine available, making life even more difficult.

The only positive change is that the temperature has now returned to normal, at only 15-20 degrees Celsius, and people are no longer bothered by extreme temperatures.

The blizzards that had lasted for two years and the torrential rains of the past few days have now stopped, the sky has cleared, and the warm rays of sunlight are shining on people.

The fact that a natural disaster leaves behind so many problems undoubtedly makes human survival much more difficult.

Lin Ruo entered the space as soon as the lava erupted, and she would come out of the space every day to observe the situation outside, hoping to see when this natural disaster would end. She had personally witnessed the entire city of B being submerged by seawater bit by bit.

When she discovered that the lava had been completely suppressed, she still decided to move the mountain peak outside to live. She didn't know when all the natural disasters would end. Although the space was nice, she couldn't stay inside forever.

Compared to the space inside, the energy changes in the outside air are more suitable for those mutated plants and animals, allowing the strength of the mutated plants and animals on the entire mountain to increase rapidly.

Before that, she needs to find a place to settle down. Right now, she is still above the location of her previous mountain peak. This is the downside of entering a space: you enter a space from where you come out.

Now, she was surrounded by a vast ocean. If she didn't want to be submerged, she needed to find an island or a piece of land first, and then place the mountain on it. Thinking of Hengshan, Lin Ruo's eyes lit up. This location was good. If they were placed here, their strength would definitely increase faster.

With each breath, she felt her water-based superpowers flowing rapidly through her body, a warm current repairing her. Only then did she notice the thick layer of smoke and dust in the air. She frowned slightly; this stuff was indeed harmful to the human body. She had only been without a mask for such a short time, and it had already reached the point where she needed her water-based superpowers to repair her body.

With a thought, the water beneath her feet immediately surged, creating a wave that enveloped her and completely kept the smoke and dust out of the water film.

Then a wooden boat appeared out of thin air on the water, gently swaying with the current. Lin Ruo landed steadily on the boat, and the water around it immediately calmed down, with the boat no longer swaying.

She sat cross-legged on the wooden boat, and a two-meter-wide wave immediately appeared behind the boat, propelling it forward at a speed even faster than her flying speed.

For Lin Ruo, being surrounded by water was more comfortable than being on land, especially now that she had the power of the water domain. She felt that water was an integral part of her body, and she didn't need to think about it at all; she could use it however she wanted.

Before she could enter the space, she needed to rest on the boat during long voyages, considering comfort and safety. Now that she can enter the space, she no longer needs to worry about any of that; a small wooden boat is enough.

The wooden boat glided swiftly across the water toward Hengshan.
