Everyone was stunned. In such a short time, the sand on the ground had grown to a depth of nearly one meter.
This sandstorm really does seem different from ordinary sandstorms.
So, everyone quickly arrived at the vegetable and fruit greenhouse in the distance, where only the roof remained.
Fortunately, the height inside the greenhouse is about 1.5 meters. Now nearly 1 meter has been buried, but it is still easy to get in.
After digging through the sand at the entrance, everyone entered the greenhouse.
The temperature in the greenhouse is acceptable.
However, the battery level inside is slightly low.
After checking the battery level in the power reserve, Lu Yuan felt somewhat anxious.
"Our power reserves are running low! It seems we'll need to be more careful with our power usage in the future!"
Everyone turned around and looked, then nodded in agreement.
"No problem, we've already stockpiled a lot of food. From now on, we can just eat in the house! We'll minimize electricity consumption as much as possible! We'll just keep the battery power to ensure we have enough for our essential needs!"
Shi Quan nodded: "Okay, I'll go back and make some adjustments!"
Next, Lu Yuan and his family packed up all the ripe fruits and vegetables in the greenhouse and took them back.
Lu Yuan then led his men to the other greenhouses.
These greenhouses are planted with a wide range of crops such as wheat, rice, and soybeans. However, these crops are still not ripe, which makes Chen Luo worry.
Everyone took all the ripe fruits back with them, planning to spend some time outside.
Then, things didn't go as planned. Soon, the sky outside was once again shrouded in yellow sand, and the earth was covered in a desolate landscape.
Lu Yuan waved helplessly to everyone, and they all went home.
The doors and windows were tightly shut, and no one went out. Apart from a few children running and shouting excitedly, everyone fell silent.
"If you have nothing to do, go to the gym and work out! It'll help recharge your batteries and relieve stress!"
Lu Yuan glanced at everyone's state and helplessly put forward an idea.
Soon, bored family and friends filled the gym to capacity.
"It all looks so boring!" Xiao Shan said helplessly, leading Qi Qi and a group of children.
Lu Yuan could only laugh it off: "Yeah, it's so boring! I hope this kind of life can end soon!"
So, over the next few days, everyone would go out and clean up the sand whenever it was light.
To prevent their greenhouse from being covered by sand, they came up with an idea: to add a barrier on top, which would effectively prevent sand from hitting the greenhouse.
The sandstorms lasted for nearly a month, and the whole world was basically buried in sand.
Lu Yuan took advantage of the sand being relatively small that day to go for a walk outside, and that's when he discovered some lights in the distance.
Because the sandstorm blocked out the sunlight, although it wasn't pitch black outside, lights were still needed to see the road clearly.
Lu Yuan pointed in the distance and asked, "Is that our territory?"
He was a little confused about where his territory was, so he pointed and asked.
Hei Zi, standing nearby, glanced over with his night-vision binoculars and said, "No, that's another villa over there. I guess they've already been buried in the city!"
Then, Hei Zi used his night vision binoculars to look around and discovered that there were people in more than one place. Many people had come from all directions, and they seemed to be a group of refugees rushing in.
"Wow, they've come to move as a group! So many people!"
As he spoke, he handed the binoculars to Lu Yuan, then pointed in the distance: "Look, so many people, what should we do next?"
After glancing at it, Lu Yuan's face showed a serious expression.
"We can't drive them away. It's alright, we just need to guard our own territory. Anyway, we have such high walls here, we're not afraid of them attacking us."
"Just mind your own business and push as much sand out as possible. We'll see how much sand comes out; it'll probably keep raining for a few more days!"
Hei Zi nodded, then packed up his things and continued working alongside the others.
The very next morning, just after the sandstorm had subsided somewhat, someone from the neighborhood came to pay a visit.
Lu Yuan had no choice but to go out and deal with the people who came.
There were more than a dozen people who came, and judging from their attire, they all seemed to be quite wealthy.
So Lu Yuan led them to the lobby on the first floor as guests.
The room was not decorated very luxuriously; it was just average.
After these people entered the room, they didn't ask any questions. Everyone just came over to introduce themselves, so Lu Yuan wasn't worried.
A tall young man said with a slight smile on his face.
"Hey bro, since we've all moved to this area, how about we create a group chat? That way, we can help each other out if anyone has any problems with their families, what do you guys think?"
His words immediately drew nods of agreement from everyone. After all, having a helper in this apocalyptic world would be invaluable. However, Lu Yuan was worried that these people had ill intentions.
Because they have prepared enough on their own, they don't need anyone's help. If they can't even handle it themselves, asking others will be of no use.
However, he couldn't express it that way; he could only nod slightly and go with the flow.
So the other party took out their communication equipment and left their contact information and numbers. As a means of communication, they created a new group chat, and everyone was in the same group.
Now Lu Yuan asked them why they moved.
Later, through their conversation, they learned that this sandstorm had struck very rapidly and lasted for a long time, resulting in too much sand in the city.
These sands are extremely absorbent; when they fall into the water, they absorb almost all the moisture in their city.
Several riots have occurred in the city, and the army has been forced to suppress them with heavy forces several times, but to no avail. On the contrary, the number of rioters is increasing, leading to chaos in the city.
These wealthy businessmen, feeling increasingly threatened, fled the area with their belongings. Fortunately, they still had villas and houses on this private property, so they moved here together as a group.
