Chapter 13: Glacial Omen
"At the beginning, Bai Lan said that this dragon pill requires a 3000-level physique to be swallowed, otherwise the body will explode and die!" Ye Chen's heart was surging. Now that he was tempered by the dragon's essence and blood, even if his physique still did not reach level 3000, he could still swallow the dragon pill. What's more, he was already level 60!
Ye Chen stretched out his hand and grabbed the dragon pill, taking it out. The rich devouring power flowed through his five fingers and penetrated into the dragon pill, crushing its insides and refining them into pure dragon energy, which he absorbed into his body!
As the dragon energy floated in, a layer of faint golden light appeared on Ye Chen's skin, which became smoother and rounder. The aura was heavy and filled with oppressive majesty. Just standing there, he gave people a creepy aura of an ancient ferocious beast!
This dragon energy is extremely powerful, carrying a breath of tearing. After it is absorbed into the body, it turns into sweet dew, seeping into the tendons and bones, as if coated with a layer of gold, which doubles the improvement of the skin membrane and bones, completely tempering the physique without increasing strength!
However, the better the physique, the stronger the vitality, and the strength will gradually increase.
Time passes...
When Ye Chen swallowed the dragon pill, the outside world also underwent a huge change. Over the past few days, the Guangming Base City has expanded rapidly, and the territory it occupies has increased dramatically, from the original small Shennongjia to the entire Wuhan City, and far beyond, even occupying nearby surrounding cities.
A large amount of rice is planted in the circle. At first glance, it looks golden, with no trace of the dilapidated city with broken walls and ruins.
With the expansion, many problems followed, such as water shortage and locust control.
Xu Tianguo was busy every day and left the water resource problem to the water conservancy projects below. He sent people to deal with the locust monsters and borrowed a few flying monsters from Xiao Hei. They hovered over the rice fields and would rush over to fight if a large army of bird monsters approached.
However, in addition to these problems, some other huge problems also arise.
On March 18, the first year of the Dark Calendar, a drought occurred in Qichun, Hubei Province, and the temperature rose suddenly. According to the detection by geologists, there were suspected signs of underground volcanic activity!
On March 21, the first year of the Dark Calendar, a sandstorm occurred in Nanchang, Hubei. It moved towards the east of the Bright Base City and entered Wuhan City. It was eventually destroyed by the Black Snail Legion and the Purple Cloud Island Master and others, which prevented the crops planted in the city from being destroyed.
On March 23, Year 1 of the Dark Calendar, a volcanic eruption occurred in Qichun, Hubei, causing landslides, collapse of mountains, and the scattering of animals...
The bad news came one after another, which made Xu Tianguo terrified and he quickly reported the situation to Ye Chen.
After a week of practice, the dragon pill had been completely absorbed. The rich energy made Ye Chen's body strength increase dramatically. He had a metallic luster, his skin became smoother, and he had a calm and majestic aura.
Cell strength and genes have all transformed, and the physical fitness has reached level 7000!
A full 800 levels higher!
The later the strength is, the harder it is to improve. It is extremely rare to be able to increase so much with the Dragon Pill. In addition, Ye Chen also swallowed some other treasures, but the effect was not great, only increasing the strength by a few dozen levels.
squeak!
The door was pushed open, and Xu Tianguo walked in with an unpleasant look on his face. He glanced at Ye Chen, then stood aside obediently, waiting quietly. Although he was extremely anxious, he did not dare to make a sound to disturb him.
After a while, Ye Chen exhaled lightly, opened his eyes, and said calmly: "What's the matter?" He stood up slowly and shook his body. He had been sitting cross-legged for seven days and his body was almost numb.
Xu Tianguo hurriedly said: "Today, an earthquake occurred in the east of Wuhan City. Many crops were destroyed and the losses were heavy!"
Ye Chen frowned and asked, "What magnitude is the earthquake? How much damage was caused?"
"A magnitude 4 earthquake!" Xu Tianguo said with a pained expression, "Thousands of acres of crops were lost. Fortunately, the earthquake did not cover a large area, otherwise, I'm afraid that all the crops in Wuhan would have been destroyed."
Ye Chen heaved a sigh of relief and said, "It's okay, just plant more."
Although several thousand acres are a lot, it only takes one day to plant them. The difficulty lies in waiting for several months for them to mature, and we don’t know if it is suitable for planting in this season.
Hearing the reports from the past few days, Ye Chen felt depressed and asked Xu Tianguo: "Agricultural experts say how long it will take for the crops to mature?"
Xu Tianguo said bitterly: "It will take at least another month!"
Ye Chen couldn't help but sigh in his heart. Judging from the current situation, the geographical environment has become extremely unbearable. He didn't know when the Ice Age would come. In the past few days, natural disasters had occurred in several areas in Hubei Province alone, not to mention other places. One can imagine what kind of environment the whole world is in.
Droughts and earthquakes everywhere...
"One month. I hope the ice age won't come within this month." Ye Chen was silent for a moment, then ordered: "Recruit some talents down there to monitor the situation of the Arctic glaciers at all times. Once they melt, report immediately!"
Xu Tianguo nodded and said, "We are already monitoring this. The Arctic has warmed up and is gradually showing signs of melting. I don't know if it can last for a month. Otherwise, these crops..."
Ye Chen waved his hand and said, "Do your best and leave the rest to fate."
Xu Tianguo's heart trembled, and after thinking about it, he nodded and said, "Yes! By the way, should we inform Huaxia Base City about the Ice Age? If not, they will definitely wait until the crops are fully mature before harvesting them. By then, a flood will submerge the land, and everything will be too late. With so many people and no food, they will inevitably fall into misery. By then, our food will be an advantage, and we can negotiate from the most advantageous position."
Ye Chen nodded. It was undeniable that this was a good way to strike at the other base cities. Without thinking twice, he said, "Notify them and ask them to prepare in advance and release more."
Xu Tianguo couldn't help but be stunned. He looked at Ye Chen strangely, somewhat puzzled. This was actually a very good idea. Once the opportunity was seized, the Huaxia Base City would be completely suppressed, or even taken over directly to become a branch of the Guangming Base City. Such a good opportunity, but Ye Chen didn't want it?
He thought of Ye Chen's ruthless slaughter of the enemy, and felt bitter. He didn't know whether this man was a villain or a gentleman. He couldn't guess...
Ye Chen ignored Xu Tianguo's thoughts. After all, he had lived ten more years. With his current superior status, he had a longer-term vision and would not do anything stupid like killing the goose that lays the golden eggs.
After Xu Tianguo left, Ye Chen rested in the base city for two days, without doing anything, completely relaxing. He stretched his facial muscles, disguised himself as someone else, went shopping with his sister, drank with Bai Long and others, or went to Mo Feng's research institute to watch him do experiments...
Life is leisurely and comfortable.
However, Ye Chen was always thinking about the Ice Age in his heart, but he didn't show it - instead of saying it out loud and making others worry, it would be better to worry by himself.
There are people coming and going everywhere on the streets.
Ye Chen felt emotional in his heart. In his previous life, he was also one of the countless people in the world, but now, he was the one looking down on everyone else!
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
Ye Zhu followed beside him, holding some accessories in her hands. They were all inexpensive things that she bought for fun and to reminisce about the peaceful days.
Suddenly——
"Hey!" An arrogant voice sounded from behind, "Girl, come and smile for me."
Ye Chen turned his head and glanced, only to see three young men wearing leather armor and holding swords. They were quite imposing and looked quite powerful. The leading young man had sharp eyebrows and bright eyes, and was quite handsome, but there was a rogue's habit at the corner of his mouth. He was holding a blue Liqun in his mouth and had an arrogant look in his eyes.
"Beauty, you are so beautiful, it's not good to follow a pretty boy. As long as you follow me, I promise to let you eat and drink the best food and drink!" said the young man proudly. In the end times, eating and drinking are undoubtedly the most attractive things. If it were a peacetime era, who would say such clichéd words.
A playful look flashed across Ye Zhu's eyes. He turned to look at Ye Chen and said with a grin, "I didn't expect to encounter such a situation in my own base city."
Ye Chen looked at the young man and the others indifferently. After hearing what Ye Zhu said, he felt helpless and rolled his eyes at the girl. Then he turned around and waved his hand. An invisible force controlled the three young men and threw them far away, with their heads falling to the ground with bruises on their faces.
When the three stood up in shock, they could only look at the backs of the young man and the woman in white leaving hand in hand. Their hearts sank. How powerful was he to be able to throw them away with a wave of his hand? Although they were arrogant, they still had some basic brains. They were so scared that they bowed and apologized repeatedly, and then ran away.
"Hehe..." Seeing this scene, Ye Zhu took Ye Chen's arm and smiled with her eyes narrowed.
Ye Chen rolled his eyes unhappily and asked, "What are you laughing at?"
Ye Zhu was not afraid at all. She stuck out her tongue and said jokingly, "I am laughing. A dignified guild president is actually being treated as a mere bystander in his own base city. Hahaha..."
Ye Chen's face was full of helplessness. Because he was resting, he was wearing very ordinary clothes, ordinary silk clothes, not leather armor. In the end times, silk clothes were the lowest grade of clothes, so those people dared to speak wildly to him.
After two days of leisure, a piece of explosive news suddenly reached Ye Chen's ears: the dark army is coming!
This day, early morning.
Ye Chen was still wearing a light white gown, sweatpants, and flowing black hair. His eyes were as clear and bright as stars. He stood on the top of the city wall, gazing straight ahead into the distance. The strong wind was blowing, making his gown rustle.
The soldiers around him stood aside, not daring to breathe, looking at Ye Chen in awe, with their brows lowered.
According to the information reported by Xu Tianguo, a large group of monsters were gathering in the north, led by a human-like figure. Based on previous experience, he deduced that the human was most likely a dark creature!
Apart from the dark creatures and Ye Chen, there is no one else on earth who can subdue a level 5000 monster as a mount!
This news was not obtained by Xu Tianguo, but was discovered by Xiao Hei when he was taming a monster in the wild.
…
The third update is finished, please support.
Today is a total lunar eclipse. Lao Gu observed the celestial phenomena at night and found that something bad is happening. A monster has appeared in the north. Brothers, please remember: do not go out late at night, drink a bowl of boiled water before going to bed, eat more than three bowls of food, and go to bed before 12 o'clock.
Lao Gu took the lead, retreated, and fell asleep.
