However, replacing the tires with steel tires does affect the driving speed. After all, steel tires make no noise when driving on the road, and they are extremely slow.
Being slow is one issue, but the most important thing is braking. If you're not careful, you'll slip away and not know where you'll end up.
Fortunately, there are no very high slopes in the base; the roads are all flat, so this impact is negligible.
The people hid in places where the sun couldn't reach them, waiting for the ice to arrive.
It's so hot, no one can stand it except for ice-type ability users.
They persisted like this for several days, and quite a few people died. Whenever it rained, the ground would start to steam and bubble.
"It's finally raining."
"Let's find a higher place to hide."
"Hmm... I've been exhausted these past few days. I've been taking it easy every day. Luckily, my partner Fan Jiajia isn't a troublemaker, or I would have been worn out."
"Hmm... The pair of sisters next to you, the older sister is the most disgusting. Doesn't she know how strong her younger sister is? Relying on her own strength, she kept ordering her younger sister to go easy on her until her younger sister lost her powers, and only then did she stop."
"Yeah, it's disgusting, but thankfully, that little sister is amazing. She actually broke through her superpower under these circumstances. It's really rare."
"Yes...ever since her sister's abilities became equal to hers, she hasn't dared to cause any more trouble."
"that is."
Everyone knew what a heavy rainstorm meant, so they all carried their belongings and headed for higher ground. Most of the tall buildings had collapsed due to the earthquake, and no one dared to climb the remaining ones.
What if the rain washes the building away?
The only solution now is to find higher ground, but that's not very safe either. After all, it's high ground, and if there's a mudslide or flood, that would be a real problem.
But there's no way around it; standing on higher ground is several times safer than standing on lower ground.
The rain has been falling for days without stopping.
Zuo Qingya also watched the water level slowly rise.
Zuo Qingya took out a sound transmission jade stone and called out to her mother.
"Mommy, Mommy, are you there?"
"Yes, what's wrong?"
Is it raining where you are?
"Go down."
Is it the same as here?
"The same."
Have you found a safe place to take refuge?
"No, you know our house is at the highest point of the base, it's fine, don't worry."
"Mom, how did you survive the extreme heat?"
"Don't you understand your mother's capabilities?"
Zuo Qingya thought about it and realized it made sense. Her mother had been through all of this, so she naturally had a solution. At worst, the two of them could just hide in their own space.
"That's good, I'll stop chatting now."
After hanging up the communication jade, Zuo Qingya came to Xia Hua's side and looked at the rain outside.
"When will this rain stop?"
"Mom said it will take about two months."
Seeing the heavy rain, Zuo Qingya was a little worried about her shop. Would it get soaked in the marinade?
In my heart, I started calling him "my little darling".
"My little darling, my little darling."
"What's wrong, host?"
"It's nothing, I just wanted to ask, with such heavy rain, won't the shops get soaked in the marinade?"
Little Darling said with certainty, "No, host, you have to trust the shops produced by the system."
"If it can withstand the extreme heat, what's a little rain? It will appear in another form."
Little Darling doesn't need to say anything, because she can already see her own shop.
"Zuo Qingya, look what that is?"
Xia Hua was referring to the small general store. "Zuo Qingya, look, that store is actually floating."
Wow, that's so high-class!
Look, it's actually floating over here.
"Huh???" Zuo Qingya didn't know what to say. Could she say that the shop was hers?
The small grocery store is like a small boat, floating on the water, moving slowly.
"My little darling, will it be okay for it to float like this? Won't it drift away to somewhere else?"
"Don't worry, host, it won't drift far. It will float around people, and you can exchange trash for items!"
"Is that so? That's quite high-end."
"That's right, anything produced by the system is guaranteed to be of high quality."
"Zuo Qingya, do you need to change anything? I still have some trash here."
Zuo Qingya nodded, "Yes."
"I wonder if I can get inside the little general store."
As soon as Xia Hua finished speaking, Zuo Qingya and Xia Hua saw a light screen appear in front of the small general store, displaying a dazzling array of item names, quantities, and the amount of garbage that could be exchanged.
Xia Hua selected the item she wanted to redeem, and just as she finished, she heard an electronic announcement.
"Exchange for two raincoats and two kilograms of trash. Please put the trash in the trash bin."
Xia Hua put the trash into the trash can.
The garbage dump has been reclaimed.
"The garbage weighs two pounds and two ounces. There are two ounces left over. Can I exchange them for sugar? If so, please say yes."
"Can."
"OK."
At that moment, Zuo Qingya saw a mechanical arm emerge from the small general store, holding the items Xia Hua had exchanged, as well as two pieces of candy.
Zuo Qingya was completely stunned. She had no idea that a small general store had this function? That's pretty cool!
"Zuo Qingya, aren't you going to exchange for something?"
Zuo Qingya shook her head, "No need."
"Okay, then!"
Watching the small general store float away, Xia Hua exclaimed, "The person who invented this store must be a mechanical genius or an alien. This technology is amazing!"
Zuo Qingya nodded, "Hmm..." The system is indeed very powerful.
"Here you go." Xia Hua handed a piece of candy to Zuo Qingya.
"Thank you!" Taking the candy, Zuo Qingya opened the packaging and started eating.
"It's quite delicious." Zuo Qingya only now realized that the extra kilograms of garbage were settled in this way, just like before the disaster when she bought things in the supermarket. The extra few cents were exchanged for candy.
The water level rose higher and higher each day, and Zuo Qingya and the others kept going up to higher ground.
Like many others, they thought the disaster would end after the earthquake, but unexpectedly, two years later, extreme heat and torrential rain occurred.
The extreme heat was alright, just a bit too hot. But this torrential rain just wouldn't stop, it kept pouring down as if the sky had a huge hole in it, pouring water into them!
Zuo Qingya jumped into the water, and her form changed; she became someone who could breathe underwater.
"Ahua, I'll go down and take a look."
"Hmm... alright then! Be careful."
Zuo Qingya gave an OK sign and then entered the water.
Perhaps because it was still raining, the water was a bit murky and it was hard to see clearly. But the deeper you went, the clearer it became. When Zuo Qingya saw trash, she didn't waste it and put it all into the transformation nest.
The seeds obtained were still rare, sometimes low-level rare seeds, sometimes mid-level or high-level seeds, all randomly, and Zuo Qingya couldn't figure out why.
