Chapter 406 Not a Drop of Rain
So they started delivering supplies to the Lancheng base that day. After delivering the supplies, they asked Lu Xingtang and others to help find construction workers to come out of the underground city and reinforce the Lancheng base together with the people they sent.
Lu Xingtang cooperated in finding people. Everyone in their base used their construction experience and sent the strong men out to reinforce the Lancheng base.
The reinforcement base is not a construction base. The speed is very fast, and they are working overtime. Nearly 100,000 people are reinforcing the base together. The materials are delivered very timely and in place, so they completed the reinforcement work in one day.
Reinforcement work? They built three-story bunkers on top of the underground city. The bunkers were only two meters high, but very sturdy.
With the existence of reinforced bunkers, the worried survivors felt relieved. Lu Xingtang asked the management to comfort the survivors of the base, saying that GJ had not abandoned their Lancheng base, and that GJ would build a home for them after the natural disaster was slightly over.
After the survivors were comforted, Lu Xingtang and his companions continued to live in the underground city. Their GS province had sunny skies recently, with no signs of natural disasters, rain or wind, and the temperature was stable at around 16 degrees, which was not particularly cold, nor very hot.
The survivors lived very happily and comfortably, but only a few of them knew that although there was no natural disaster in their GS province, natural disasters occurred in other provinces one after another, and the situation was very serious.
For example, in Sichuan Province, a magnitude 7.6 earthquake occurred, and after the earthquake, river water backflowed.
The same thing happened in GD and FJ provinces. These coastal cities experienced an undersea earthquake, which triggered a tsunami. However, the damage was minor, and the Haicheng base remained intact. After the earthquake and tsunami, seawater backflow occurred, but this time it was much milder than previous backflows. At least Haicheng base remained intact, while other areas of GD and FJ provinces suffered.
Like GS Province, Meng Province was in a state of desolation due to acid rain and dense fog. However, while GS Province was experiencing clear skies, Meng Province experienced a three-day downpour, soaking the soil and cleansing it of the corrosive effects of the acid rain and dense fog. After the three-day downpour, Meng Province cleared up. After two days of clear weather, it began to rain again, and another three days of torrential rain followed.
The survivors in the safe house in Meng Province felt very complicated when they saw the heavy rain. They left the safe house to check the situation after the heavy rain stopped for three days. The grassland was completely destroyed, and the houses they had built were also eroded by acid rain and thick fog, leaving nothing behind.
Fortunately, GJ had them build a safe house in advance. The safe house was very safe and did not allow the acid rain and thick fog to endanger their lives or affect their normal life.
Lu Xingtang and his team flew to Meng Province and saw a torrential downpour. The rain had formed ponds on the barren land, leaving no grass or anything else above the surface. However, with the rain, Meng Province would soon recover as long as the climate returned to normal. They also discovered that the mountains and land had been corroded by acid rain and thick fog. Now, the land was flat and full of potholes. However, they didn't see the safe house, which was a blessing in disguise.
Lu Xingtang took out grass seeds from the space. Some of the grass seeds were purchased in Meng Province before the outbreak of the apocalypse. As the plane flew, the grass seeds fell from the plane and landed in the heavy rain, waiting for the grass seeds to take root in the soil and grow.
After all the stored grass seeds were spread, some tree seeds were sown. The grasslands in Meng Province became barren. When sandstorms blow in the future, people will not be able to live well without the shelter of trees.
Although the government will find ways to control desertification, it cannot be done overnight.
In addition, various grass seeds and tree species in the space, as well as camphor trees, white birch trees, pine trees, elm trees, red willows, poplar trees and other tree species suitable for growing on grasslands were scattered on the barren grasslands, hoping to take root and survive this year, and after the end of the world, they will grow wildly.
Meng Province is very large, and Lu Xingtang has limited grass seeds and tree species. All she can do is to spread grass seeds and tree species on the grasslands near GS Province, so that even transplanting in the future will be a little easier.
Due to the heavy rain, Lu Xingtang and his team returned to GS Province without flying in Meng Province for too long. The sky in GS Province was clear. Under the corrosion of acid rain and thick fog, many mountains, canyons and basins were greatly affected. Even though it did not rain, the alkalinity and corrosiveness of acid rain and thick fog still remained in various places.
"If GS Province also has a heavy rain, the damage caused by acid rain and thick fog will be eliminated, and we can live a normal life!"
Unfortunately, it doesn’t rain in GS Province, not even a drop of rain.
It’s true, those who are suffering from drought will die of drought, and those who are suffering from floods will die of floods!
Moreover, the temperature in GS Province has also risen slightly, which is different from the extreme heat, but if it continues for a long time, the ground will dry up, which is not conducive to natural recovery.
The President is also aware of the situation in GS Province. They have carried out many artificial rainfalls, but the effects are not very obvious. They have even transported water from next door to help GS Province restore its ecology, but the effect is not as fast as in Meng Province.
"It looks like we're facing a drought here in GS Province! I just hope it doesn't turn into a drought like the one during the extreme heatwave!" But even if it did turn into a drought like the one during the extreme heatwave, what would happen? They weren't gods; they couldn't summon wind and rain to change the status quo.
We can only pray that the drought will be shorter and the apocalypse will end sooner.
Back in the dungeon, Lu Xingtang talked about the situation in Meng Province and their GS Province. Su Cheng and the others sighed, "Since we are here, we should just make the best of it. Let's just wait in the dungeon!"
Lu Xingtang nodded, and they really didn't go out to check the situation again, nor did they let anyone go out to check the situation, for fear of encountering a natural disaster that was unavoidable.
In a blink of an eye, they had been in the underground city for seven days. On this day, there was still not a drop of rain, and the temperature in the underground city gradually rose. Ji Yanmo used his special ability to check the outside. It was indeed dry outside, very dry. The inside was completely dry, and the land was divided into pieces. The originally barren land seemed even more barren at this moment, as if it was a desperate place with few people.
The government and the government were also trying to reduce the drought, but the effect was still very poor, with no improvement at all. Later, they sent supplies and water to all the safe houses. Their base currently had no shortage of supplies, so no supplies were sent to them.
However, another earthquake occurred in the imperial capital. This time the earthquake was not as strong as before. The most severe earthquake was in Jinshi, next to the imperial capital. The aftershocks reached the imperial capital, and many adobe houses in the imperial capital collapsed. Fortunately, all the survivors were transferred to safe houses. Although the safe houses were shaken out by the earthquake, they were not damaged.
This is something that everyone should be happy about.
After confirming that the earthquake had passed, the survivors from the Imperial Capital and Jicheng went to the Imperial Capital to help with disaster relief and rescue, including other cities in HB Province, as long as they were close to Jinshi.
