The blazing sun beat down on the earth, and the scorching heat seemed to distort the very air it baked.
Prolonged exposure to sunlight results in extremely high temperatures, creating a significant temperature difference between the sea surface and the land, which over time generates strong sea breezes.
The sea breeze that formed on the sea surface was pointing directly at the location of City B. The strong wind on the sea surface drove the waves, and wave after wave of huge waves blew towards the Yanshan Mountains, thus forming a massive storm surge.
The water level at the foot of Yanshan Mountain was already over 60 meters and was still rising. With the arrival of this storm surge, the water level rose even faster, quickly increasing by 3-5 meters.
At the same time, a strong sea wind swept across the entire Yanshan Mountains, blowing sand and stones from the mountains into the air, making the sky hazy and obscuring everything.
The rocks that had fallen from the mountain were also swept up by the strong wind and flew into the air. Some of them tumbled in the sky, while others crashed heavily to the ground.
Many of the slightly more fragile mutated trees were broken by the hurricane, but these mutated plants had already developed intelligence. They knew that in the face of such a strong wind, they had to hold on to the ground as tightly as possible. So they began to shrink their branches and leaves on the ground and transfer all their essence to their roots. The roots of countless mutated plants grew deeper and deeper, firmly gripping the ground, thus avoiding being uprooted by such a strong wind.
The small mutated beasts in the forest didn't care how dangerous these plants were. At this moment, these plants were their lifeline. They desperately bit or grabbed at all the mutated plants they could get their hands on to prevent themselves from being blown away by the strong wind.
The large mutated beasts were not in danger when faced with such strong winds because of their weight; they were just restricted in their movements. Only some small mutated beasts were blown away by the wind, while the vast majority of them still managed to survive.
"Quick! Close the underground base gate." Jiang Yue followed the soldiers and closed the underground base gate. Strong winds were blowing in from outside, making the gate, made of underground ore, shake constantly.
Fortunately, the B City base detected the weather changes in advance and notified all survivors a day early not to go out and to take refuge in the underground base, which reduced the casualties at the base.
The buildings on the base, constructed of massive stones, were being torn apart by the strong winds. Some of them had already been overturned, and stones from the sky were constantly falling and hitting these buildings on the ground, making a "thump-thump" sound.
The survivors outside the base, having learned a day in advance that a strong wind was coming, had made preparations in advance. Most of them had dug deep burrows in the ground and were now shivering in their burrows.
Only a few people, due to prolonged lack of food and strength, were too slow in digging their dugouts, or because the dugouts were too shallow, were unable to protect them when strong winds blew them into the air. In the end, whether they lived or died was entirely up to fate.
The survivors at Qiyuan Base were not as lucky as those at City B Base. By the time they realized the strong winds were coming, it was too late to take any other measures. How could they possibly outrun the wind?
Many of the survivors on the outskirts were blown away. The people living in the inner and outer layers of the city lived in rather rudimentary houses, which they built themselves.
In such strong winds, the house was no match for the wind and was quickly overturned. The survivors inside could only desperately grab onto anything they could to avoid being blown away.
In comparison, the inner buildings were more sturdy and remained standing in the wind, which caused many survivors to run to the inner layers, resulting in chaos in the Qiyuan base.
Dust filled the air, making it impossible to see the surrounding environment.
The superhumans used their abilities to protect the base's supplies and its key personnel.
Yang Songming and Zhu Zhengzhong stood in the inner building of the base, looking at the tragic scene outside. Their faces were extremely grim. After the last time the sea monsters came ashore, their Qiyuan base had just recovered some of its strength after all these days of development, and now they were facing such strong winds again!
But misfortune never comes singly. A soldier rushed in and reported to Yang Songming, "Base Commander, a large number of large mutated beasts have been spotted charging towards the base. According to the ability users, there may be several thousand!"
"What! Mutant beasts are attacking the city in this weather! These mutant beasts are practically sentient!" Zhu Zhengzhong was frantic, pacing back and forth. What could he do?!
Yang Songming's face turned ashen. It must be that tiger that had its sights set on their base! It had been the one opposing their base all along!
"Gather all available ability users and send them to guard the city walls! I'll take command!"
To prevent being blown away by the strong winds, everyone was fully armed, with heavy metal chains binding their bodies. One end of each chain was firmly embedded in the ground, and all of these chains were made by metal-type ability users.
In addition, there are wood-type ability users who are also responsible for growing vines to wrap around these ability users and protect their safety.
As soon as the superhumans reached the city wall, they saw a mutated tiger leading a group of enormous mutated beasts charging towards the Qiyuan Base.
"Roar!" The mutated tiger stood at the back of the mutated beasts and roared, causing the mutated beasts to charge madly towards the Qiyuan Base.
These superhumans also unleashed their abilities to engage in a fierce battle with the mutated beasts. The wind continued to blow, and the fighting was extremely brutal.
In such strong winds, these gigantic mutated beasts had an advantage over humans, so the superhumans also struggled quite a bit and could only put up a stubborn resistance. Fortunately, the Qiyuan Base had been developing well during this period and had recruited many more superhumans, including a rare light-type healing superhuman who could quickly heal injured superhumans, which gradually turned the tide of the battle.
Otherwise, once the strong winds stop, the Qiyuan Base would probably no longer exist.
The strong wind came quickly and went quickly. In less than half an hour, the wind gradually weakened and the storm surge slowly receded. Then, a tiger's roar was heard again from behind, "Awoo!"
The fiercely attacking mutated beasts began to retreat rapidly. Once they were completely gone, the entire Qiyuan Base was in a state of utter chaos. The ability users were all exhausted, especially the healing type, whose face was extremely pale. In the end, he had to be helped back by his companions.
Yang Songming stood on the city wall, looking at the corpses of the mutated beasts and superhumans on the ground. His face grew even uglier. Zhu Zhengzhong also sighed deeply. This tiger's intelligence was comparable to that of humans. They had tried to find this tiger before, but all their efforts had been in vain.
Just when they thought the tiger might be dead, it would give them a big surprise, causing them heavy losses.
They had no idea how they had offended such a vengeful tiger!
Back in his office, Yang Songming sat in his chair for a long time before finally closing his eyes, picking up the radio next to him, and calling the base in City B.
Ye Lin was also assessing the losses when he received Yang Songming's call. His brows furrowed as he wondered what this man was up to now.
After answering the call, he heard a voice on the other end say, "Ye Lin, your underground ore reserves are almost gone, aren't they?"
