Chapter 402 The Worst Plan
Because the Lancheng base is designed as a bunker and has tempered glass to protect the interior of the base, the Lancheng base is the only place in GS Province that has not been corroded by acid rain, excluding the safe house, which is very safe.
But GS Province and Meng Province suffered heavy losses. All their resources were destroyed and corroded by acid rain, leaving nothing behind. But before the acid rain completely stopped, thick fog arrived.
According to the research team, "Although the thick fog is corrosive, it's not as corrosive as acid rain. It's just that the thick fog will last longer, probably around half a month!"
The past half month has been enough to make GS Province and Meng Province suffer. In addition to GS Province and Meng Province, other provinces have also experienced acid rain, but the acid rain they have is corrosive. At most, it will cause blisters and redness and swelling on the body, and it will not corrode the body. Thick fog is expected to appear, but it is a world of difference compared to GS Province and Meng Province.
Lu Xingtang stood atop the tallest building in the base, telescope in hand, observing the dense fog. It was indeed approaching, surging towards their Lancheng base at a visible speed. However, its speed was currently very slow, and the fog was very thin, coming from all directions. It was unclear whether the fog possessed the power of a devastating corrosion. However, all the plants, animals, mountains, and land outside the base had become potholed due to the acid rain. Once the fog arrived, I was afraid...
Lu Xingtang's mood became very heavy. "We used a telescope to observe the thick fog. The speed at which the thick fog emerged was not very fast. At present, the visibility is at least one thousand meters!" The scientific researchers in their base were also measuring the visibility of the thick fog. They determined that the visibility was about 1,200 meters. It was very slowly covering the land area of Lancheng. Compared with the thick fog that Lu Xingtang and his team faced at the Shuanglong base, it was much better.
Back then, the Ssangyong base was corroded by acid rain and thick fog, which destroyed the entire base and caused extremely heavy losses. Compared to that, they are very happy now.
Because there was heavy rain before the acid rain, the base had no shortage of water resources. Even if the acid rain corroded the GS province and made the water resources completely undrinkable, their base and major safe houses had stored a lot of water and were not worried about water shortages at all.
On the second day of the fog's arrival, its density increased slightly, but its speed toward them remained slow. Visibility was now at one thousand meters. Lu Xingtang and Ji Yanmo, donning protective suits and gas masks, chased the fog for a while, conducting an experiment in the fog to test its corrosiveness. A piece of fresh pork corroded instantly in acid rain. In the fog, however, the pork showed only a slight corrosion. After an hour, the corrosion was not serious, only the outer layer showing a slight corrosive effect, but it was basically intact.
Lu Xingtang and the others figured it out and returned to the base.
After returning to the base, they told Su Cheng and the others the news. However, they were not relieved. "The visibility and speed of the thick fog are indeed very slow now. It seems harmless, but if the fog suddenly changes its speed and quickly covers the base, even tempered glass may not be able to stop it! I hope the lessons learned from the base will still be remembered!"
Thinking back to the time when Lu Xingtang and Ji Yanmo helped him take down the Sheng brothers, helped him take down Shuanglong Base, handed Shuanglong Base over to him, made him the base commander, and allowed him to rename Shuanglong Base to Hope Base. How much had he sacrificed for Hope Base? Witnessing Hope Base's destruction under acid rain and thick fog with his own eyes, the destruction of that year was unforgettable to him. Sometimes, when he thought about it, he felt a chill in his heart, and he was often awakened by dreams.
Lu Xingtang knew what Su Cheng was worried about and said calmly, "We all live in the underground city, don't we? The bunker base and tempered glass can't stop the erosion of the thick fog, but the underground city can! All the major planting areas, farms and factories have transferred their supplies to the underground city! Even if our Lancheng base will follow the same fate as the Hope Base, the current H country is not the same as the previous H country. H country is rich in supplies, all of which were retrieved by A Mo and me! The President will not ignore the life and death of our Lancheng base!"
Su Cheng hummed, "Then prepare for the worst!"
Before the thick fog completely arrived, Lu Xingtang and his team gathered everyone in the base and moved all the supplies that could be moved to the underground city. The supplies that could not be corroded by the thick fog did not need to be moved.
This transfer took them three days, and during these three days the thick fog advanced towards them, still very slowly, but visibility gradually decreased every day, and now it has reached 400 meters.
However, the corrosiveness of the thick fog is indeed not as strong as before, but there is thick fog everywhere. Lu Xingtang and his companions did not dare to take the risk, so they asked all the survivors to return to the dungeon and start living in the dungeon. If it were not for the end of the world, Lu Xingtang might have asked everyone to study how to grow vegetables and food in the dungeon. Many vegetables do not like sunlight. If they are cultivated on a large scale, the base can also relieve some of the pressure.
Thinking of this, Lu Xingtang searched in the space and finally found many vegetables that did not like sunlight, such as garlic sprouts, leeks, bean sprouts, radish sprouts, peppers, eggplants, okra, cucumbers, spinach, lettuce, watercress, sesame seeds, water celery, cabbage, Chinese cabbage, shepherd's purse, green onions, leeks, etc.
Lu Xingtang picked out the seeds of vegetables with the least stock, such as garlic sprouts, leeks, chives, green onions, lettuce, spinach, etc., and let every household grow them at home, whether they were grown in soil or hydroponically. Therefore, he also specially invited agricultural experts to teach everyone how to grow vegetables in the underground city without sunlight.
In the dungeon, no one has anything to do, at least most people have nothing to do. Growing vegetables that don’t like sunlight at home is also a way to pass the time.
After Lu Xingtang distributed the seeds, he asked agricultural experts to keep a close eye on them and minimize waste.
The atmosphere in the dungeon was very harmonious. While Lu Xingtang was busy, Ji Yanmo wore protective clothing and went out of the dungeon to observe the situation of the thick fog.
Thick fog has completely covered the base, and visibility is very low, reaching a distance of about 20 meters. However, the corrosiveness of the thick fog is indeed not as strong as acid rain, nor as strong as the thick fog of that year. A piece of pork was not completely corroded after three hours. However, people are not allowed to come into contact with thick fog without any protection. Just because it is not highly corrosive does not mean it is not corrosive.
Ji Yanmo even went outside to check and used his special abilities to investigate the situation nearby. There was no problem at the safe house at the moment.
Ji Yanmo went back and told Lu Xingtang about this situation. Lu Xingtang looked at Ji Yanmo with resentment and said, "Don't leave the dungeon casually in the future. You are an ordinary person. You don't have an iron vest to protect your life!"
