"Has the cycle of natural disasters begun again?"
The mood of everyone present gradually turned somber.
In order to cope with the increasingly dry weather, Lu Sheng could only arrange for helicopters to regularly carry out artificial rainmaking.
Rainwater mixed with sand and dust in the air, turning into mud droplets that fell to the ground. The whole city looked like it had rolled in mud, dirty inside and out.
Fortunately, the air quality has improved a bit, allowing residents to briefly get some fresh air.
But other areas weren't as lucky as City M.
The severe sandstorms intensified, and in just one and a half months, many plains areas had been completely desertified.
Due to the prolonged lack of rainfall, coupled with the severe combination of high temperatures and desertification, many areas are no longer suitable for human habitation.
Modern skyscrapers are rapidly weathering away in harsh weather; the world seems to be on accelerator, and human civilization is being rapidly corrupted by sandstorms.
"I was worried that those sea monsters would come back, but now the sea is almost filled in."
Han Hongguang emerged from the portal, looking travel-worn, and handed a large black plastic bag to Lu Sheng. "I just went to the Yangfan Base and checked. The coastline has receded by more than ten meters. The road is full of sand, and there are dried shrimp and fish everywhere."
As he spoke, he poured the plastic bag onto the table.
A whole bag full of fish, shrimp, and crabs, each about the length of an adult's arm, all dried out and hard as rocks, ready to be picked up and used as melee weapons for self-defense.
Zhang Xiaojuan curiously picked up a large bamboo shrimp and smelled it. "This thing is so distorted, yet it's still an arm's length long."
The group looked at each other in bewilderment.
I originally thought that the invasion of marine life on land would be a troublesome issue, but I didn't expect things to turn around so quickly.
As desertification in the surrounding areas intensifies, more and more bases are being forced to relocate on a large scale.
To ensure the safety of M City, Lu Sheng steadily expanded the city's scale while strengthening security measures around the city's perimeter.
We'll bring in suitable people to build a beautiful city, and expel those who are arrogant from the spot, driving them out of the safe zone.
Soon, more and more people with poor accents joined the migrating group.
"It seems to be a thief from the country."
Inside the Allied Forces' meeting room, Zhao Mujia pointed to the real-time monitoring system connecting to the entrance to the safe zone and spoke.
Han Hongguang looked up in confusion, "What does 'stealing from the Chinese' mean?"
“South Korea steals everything every day. They steal during the Spring Festival, during the Dragon Boat Festival, and even during history and culture. There’s nothing they don’t steal,” Zhang Xiaojuan explained from the side.
Han Hongguang was speechless for a moment.
He doesn't go online much and isn't familiar with these internet slang terms, but he also doesn't have a good impression of Koreans.
“There are more and more foreigners lately. Besides those who steal from other countries, there are also Russians and Americans.” Zhao Mujia muteed the monitor. “It is said that the area they live in has been completely desertified and cannot survive. Some large bases rushed over overnight while the sea routes are still passable.”
"Sister Lu had previously instructed that none of these should be accepted; they should all be expelled outside the safe zone."
"However, they are quite adaptable and quickly established themselves in the surrounding area. Now, several sizable forces have formed outside the safe zone, and they fight fiercely every day for territory and supplies."
Lu Sheng calmly nodded, "Go ahead and hit, the harder the better."
Those who are not of our kind will surely have different hearts. No matter how much resources M City has, we will not give a single share to these people.
...
Artificial rainmaking is a drop in the ocean compared to the escalating sandstorms, and as time goes on, M City is also rapidly and uncontrollably weathering away.
"In the past few days, many areas have reported that cracks have appeared in the buildings, and we are arranging manpower to speed up the repairs," Su Zheng reported early in the morning.
Aside from the weathering of the buildings, the area outside the safe zone has been completely transformed into a sea of sand.
Humans struggled to survive in this environment, but zombies underwent another evolution in the desert.
Following the natural law of survival of the fittest, almost all the low-level zombies died, leaving behind only zombies of level four or five and above. These zombies, in this round of elimination, all evolved into the more troublesome, hard-skinned zombies.
“People are dying every day outside the safe zone. Those guys don’t even bother to dispose of the bodies anymore; they just leave them on the sand.” Su Zheng frowned. “Some of the bodies mutated into new types of zombies that very night. We’ve been dealing with these sudden crises every day lately.”
Ma Dongmei tapped the table in confusion, "If they keep dying like this, how many of them will be alive? Could they all be mutants by now?"
