In the conference hall of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, the air was as depressing as the sky before a storm.

On the screen, images of the apocalyptic Xuanwu base are playing.

Black rain poured down, corroding the earth, burning the air, and destroying life.

White smoke continued to rise from the surface, and the cracks were scarlet, like a wound in hell.

Screams and alarm sounds intertwined into a doomsday symphony.

All the pictures are chilling.

"This is no ordinary acid rain."

Professor Ji Wen's voice broke the oppressive silence.

He pushed up his glasses and said in a serious tone: "We can't even explain the composition of this rain with current technology."

His finger pointed at the analytical data next to the screen.

"No water molecules."

"The main components of rainwater are a variety of unknown chemicals. These substances can not only corrode the surface, but also react violently with oxygen and carbon dioxide in the air, directly destroying the atmospheric circulation."

He paused, with a hint of disbelief and horror in his eyes:

"This is a miracle of chemistry beyond modern technology, more like some kind of deliberate means of destruction."

His words elicited a round of inhalations.

The scientists present looked at each other, shock and helplessness written all over their faces.

"Is this man-made?" someone asked in a low voice.

Professor Ji Wen shook his head:

"From the data, this has surpassed our understanding of chemistry. I can't determine its source, but I can be sure of one thing - this is the most direct threat to life in the end times."

Outside the conference hall, live broadcasts were also being broadcast simultaneously, and the audience's comments had already filled the screen:

[Is this the acid rain of the end of the world? It's so scary! Can we still survive this? ]

[Why is there such a thing? It's so sudden! ]

[Save them! We can’t let our future generations die like this! ]

Gu Man stood quietly in a corner of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, staring at Song Lufeng's stern face on the screen.

His command was calm and decisive, but she knew that the Xuanwu Base was at a critical moment of life and death.

There are more and more voices on the screen:

[Gu Man, please! Help them! ]

[You must have a solution, right? You are the savior! ]

Gu Man took a deep breath.

"I didn't expect that the awakened forest would come in handy so soon."

It seems like guidance from somewhere.

Not long after she awakened the trees, a devastating acid rain fell without warning in the apocalypse.

She didn't believe it was accidental.

She had a hunch that this was a deity from another world hiding behind the scenes, and she couldn't help but take action.

She picked up her phone and sent a message to Song Lufeng.

"Lufeng, I have a way to deal with acid rain."

Song Lufeng on the other end of the phone was silent for a moment: "What can we do?"

"Do you remember the forest where I awakened earlier?"

Gu Man said quickly, "Those trees, although they look no different from ordinary trees, they have acquired a special ability - purification."

She paused. "They absorb pollutants from the air and may even protect against toxins released by acid rain."

"300 years of evolution should be enough to deal with this acid rain."

Song Lufeng's eyes flickered slightly, and he asked in a low voice: "Then I will try to find them."

Xiaozao, who was standing next to Song Lufeng, gently shook his leaves.

"I'll go, I'll go!" he volunteered.

Song Lufeng looked at him, frowning slightly: "Can you do it?"

Xiaozao waved his hands, raising the leaves high, and spoke with confidence:

"I am the awakened Jujube Tree. My abilities are already quite powerful!"

"Besides, this acid rain is just a mixture of mist and toxins. My leaves can support a green barrier."

Song Lufeng nodded: "Okay, then it depends on you."

Song Lufeng and Xiaozao teleported outside the base.

As soon as we landed, thick black fog hit us in the face, acid rain fell densely, and the ground was full of pits of corrosion.

It waved its branches, and a layer of light green light spread out from between the leaves, forming a natural barrier.

The raindrops hit the barrier, making a sizzling sound, but were quickly broken down into harmless water droplets.

The jujube tree shook its trunks, trying hard to open the green light shield and disperse the surrounding poisonous fog bit by bit.

"This acid rain is pretty strong!" he muttered, but did not stop.

Song Lufeng looked up and saw Xiaozao holding up the barrier, and a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes.

"Can you stop the acid rain?"

"Of course!" Xiaozao shook the leaves proudly, "Hurry up, I'll take you to that forest!"

Song Lufeng jumped onto the trunk of the jujube tree without hesitation.

"Let's go."

Xiaozao held up the barrier all the way and shuttled through the cage of acid rain.

The surrounding land has been corroded and riddled with holes, and the remains of buildings destroyed by rain can be vaguely seen in the black mist.

"We're almost there!"

The jujube trees waved their branches and leaves to keep the surrounding rain water further away.

"Hold on a little longer!"

Ten minutes later, they finally passed through the range of black fog and a lush forest appeared before them.

This forest is totally different from ordinary trees.

A faint green light flickers between their branches and leaves, and the lines on their trunks faintly flow with a golden glow.

There is a fresh fragrance in the air, as if even breathing can become smoother.

"It's right here." Xiao Zao paused, a hint of pride in his voice, "The Awakening Forest."
