For the past few days, Junjue, Dizhantian, Dongfang Ao, Suye, and Yeyuan, these four good brothers, have been monitoring the situation of all the shelters in the monitoring room of the Doomsday Fortress.
They sat in their seats with rows of screens in front of them, displaying images of various shelters.
These screens show the shelters atop ten peaks, where tens of thousands of people are barely surviving, battling the horrors of corrosive acid rain.
Su Ye rubbed his temples wearily, a bitter smile playing on his lips: "This world has changed so much! We used to be the gods who ruled over everything, but now we can only sit here and watch others struggle to survive in this corrosive acid rain environment."
Di Zhantian sighed deeply: "Yes, we were once brave and invincible warriors, but now we can only watch helplessly as these people struggle in a terrifying environment."
Dongfang Ao raised his head, his eyes flashing with determination: "We can't continue to sink into despair. We must find a way for these people to survive."
Junjue gently tapped the table: "Although we already have a lot of supplies, after the corrosive acid rain, everything can be purchased for free."
We need more resources, especially water and food.
Only in this way can the people in these shelters survive in this harsh environment.
From now on, these ten mountaintop shelters will only house more people, and we are making all sorts of preparations.
Looking at the display screen in front of him, Ye Yuan remained silent for a moment before saying, "We need to develop a plan to connect all the shelters."
Only in this way can they jointly resist the threat of this apocalypse.
"Look, the acid rain has lessened a lot. The people in that shelter are on an adventure." Ye Yuan pointed to a screen, his voice revealing a hint of excitement.
Di Zhantian frowned. "How come these people don't know the power of corrosive acid rain? They should be staying in the shelter instead of risking going out."
Su Ye smiled. "Humans always want to explore the unknown, even if that unknown means danger to their lives."
“That’s true,” Ye Yuan agreed. “However, they might make some discoveries, or find some way to combat acid rain.”
Dongfang Ao remained silent, deeply immersed in his own thoughts. A mysterious light flickered in his eyes.
On the screen, a group of people slowly walked out of the shelter. They were wearing heavy protective suits, holding special goggles, and their eyes revealed a hint of unease and anticipation.
The Duke watched their every move, a strange emotion welling up inside him. "They're really brave, daring to go out on only the fourth day?" he murmured.
Di Zhantian nodded. “Jue, they will starve to death if they don’t go out. Didn’t you see that it’s only been four days since the corrosive acid rain started falling? Many people are already eager to take advantage of everyone’s supplies.”
Ye Yuan suddenly stood up. "Oh no! They've encountered acid rain!"
On the screen, a dense rain of acid rain fell like arrows, forcing the people to jump into a pre-prepared shelter. However, this shelter could only protect them temporarily; given enough time, they would still meet their doom.
"How long can they hold out?" Dongfang Ao's voice sounded strange.
The crowd silently observed the living conditions of those on the screen. Acid rain relentlessly assaulted their protective suits, corroding their bodies. The pain and despair on their faces were clearly visible on the screen.
"It's only been a short time since the natural disaster! Has humanity already started to become distorted and morality already declining?" Su Ye stared at the various robbery scenes on the screen, somewhat dumbfounded, and said in surprise.
Dongfang Ao suddenly stood up, his gaze resolute. "These people are really too impatient, aren't they?"
"What's so strange about that? You'll see something even more terrifying in a while. After all, I once said that one cookie could buy you a school beauty, and I wasn't kidding," Junjue said nonchalantly.
Dongfang Ao stared at the screen with a serious expression. "What were those girls thinking? Without any family to protect them, they dared to come here and dance with wolves?"
He left the monitoring room with firm steps, leaving his four good brothers puzzled.
"What exactly is he trying to do?" Di Zhantian was filled with questions.
Back on the screen, they continued to observe those struggling to survive in the shelters. Their figures gradually blurred in the acid rain, but their will remained unwavering.
"Don't waste your time and effort. The corrosive acid rain will be over in three days."
The corrosive acid rain has stopped, followed by a week of light rain, and then about three months of torrential rain.
"That week we'll go searching for supplies. When we take the helicopter, we can just take some people from the shelter to search for supplies as well." The Duke's voice was full of determination.
During his week-long free shopping spree, he was looking for all sorts of things; he wouldn't let go of anything useful.
Di Zhantian nodded, and the four good brothers clasped each other's hands in tacit understanding. They knew that only by uniting as one could they overcome the darkness of this apocalypse.
Tens of thousands of people have gathered in shelters atop the ten peaks of Glide Ridge. Five days and five nights of corrosive acid rain have continued relentlessly, and their food and water supplies are dwindling.
Hunger and despair gradually eroded their hearts, and the ugliness of human nature began to quietly emerge.
The people in the mountaintop shelter had originally gathered together to escape the disaster and hoped to get through the crisis together.
However, as food dwindled and hunger took hold, the ugliness of human faces began to emerge, and the law of the jungle began to take place in the refuge.
A wicked man began to rob a defenseless young girl of her food. He brazenly snatched the bread and water from her hands, ignoring her pleas and entreaties.
Others also witnessed this, but chose to remain silent, as if doing so would protect their own food supplies.
The atmosphere in the shelter grew tense and hostile, and the arguments between people intensified. They turned the struggle for food into a desperate fight, treating each other cruelly. Moral and human boundaries were abandoned in this moment.
In a corner of the shelter, a couple got into a heated argument over a bottle of water.
They were once a loving couple, but now they are strangers.
They both forgot the other's existence, leaving only their own desires and longings.
"This is my water!" the man roared, shoving the woman violently to the ground.
"We all need water!" the woman cried, trying to grab it.
They were no longer each other's partners and supporters, but two wild beasts driven mad by hunger. They fought for survival, and this struggle revealed the ugliness and cruelty of human nature.
The entire shelter was shrouded in chaos and despair. The fighting and malice between people were suffocating, terrifying, and filled with hopelessness. They were no longer named individuals in society, but humans transformed into beasts.
