"boom!"
A clap of thunder streaked across the sky, followed by a continuous stream of large raindrops falling from the heavens. The rain intensified, gradually turning into streaks of water that flowed incessantly to the ground.
In the seventh month after the extreme heat arrived, City B was once again hit by a torrential rain. The soil on the ground, which had been dried and hardened by the intense sunlight and had developed cracks, began to soften slowly under the nourishment of the rain, and the cracks gradually disappeared.
The soil on the mountain began to soften, some even turning into mud. The mutated plants on it were frantically absorbing this water, which would supply them for a long time to come.
The survivors in City B all took out all the containers they could hold and began collecting rainwater. Some of them had sunburned skin that was cracked and bleeding. They kept washing their bodies in the rain, washing away the grime that had accumulated over such a long time. It was a gift from nature.
Although City B is located by the sea and is not short of water, there is still a great risk involved in going to the beach to fetch water. Now that rainwater is falling from the sky, we naturally need to collect more.
The mutated animals also emerged from their hiding places, enjoying a rare moment of coolness during the extremely hot season.
But the falling rain was not salvation, but the clarion call of death, as all the survivors in City B knew.
Because with the heavy rain, not only will those terrifying mutated sea monsters come ashore again, but mudslides will also occur. They are on the mountain, with the sea below. With large mudslides sliding down, they have nowhere to escape.
Lin Ruo stood by the window, watching the rain stream down the glass, and felt a sense of calm.
Afu, Ashou, Aliu, and Laobai were intently watching the TV at home, completely oblivious to the torrential rain outside. Their owner's presence at home gave them a strong sense of security.
After months of scorching sun, the water level at the foot of the mountain has dropped by more than five meters. I wonder how many days this rain will last.
The last time the sea monster came ashore was on the third day after the heavy rain. After these months of development, this time it is very likely to happen earlier.
Since the torrential rain began, the B City base and the Qiyuan base had been making preparations. At the reserved artillery emplacements in the middle of the city wall, crystal energy cannons were placed, ready to defend against the approaching sea monsters.
The houses built inside the two bases are mostly made of stone or underground ore, so they are not afraid of rain. However, many survivors on the periphery built their houses with mud. How long can these houses last under heavy rain?
Now that their living standards have improved, they naturally start to pay attention to their living conditions. From the moment the heavy rain starts, they begin to search for stones to build their houses, trying to minimize the risk of water seepage and collapse in their earthen houses.
The dugouts beneath the houses were also walled with stones. Although the dugouts might leak due to the increased moisture in the surrounding soil, they chose to stay there in order to survive.
Now that the rain is getting heavier, if the sea monsters come ashore again, the B City base might use heavy weapons that could damage their houses. If the houses collapse, they could be buried underneath. They need to add a layer of material and another exit to their houses so that they can survive even if the houses collapse.
It was raining heavily outside, but everyone was busy in the rain, trying to increase their chances of survival.
Everyone knew what this torrential rain would bring, especially these low-level survivors on the periphery. Every rainstorm was a scythe that would reap their lives. If they were not prepared enough, they would die in the downpour for various reasons.
The heavy rain lasted for two whole days, and the soil in the mountains became increasingly loose. Although the roots of some plants were deeply embedded in the ground, the continuous downpour washed away the soil, creating long gullies in many places. The water and soil in these gullies were increasing and expanding, and these mutated plants simply could not hold them back.
The B City base has also detected geological changes in the past two days, discovering that a massive mudslide is about to form on the Yanshan Mountains. These mudslides are mainly flowing down steeper slopes. Both the B City base and the Qiyuan base are located halfway up the mountain and are very likely to be hit by the mudslide.
"Quick! All superhumans, follow me!" Chen Yu led the superhuman team from City B base rapidly toward the mountain directly above City B base.
"Fifteen earth-elemental ability users manipulate the soil to solidify the soil within this area of over ten kilometers as much as possible. Remember, the depth must be deep!"
"All metal-type ability users go up and build a metal wall tens of meters high. It must be very thick and deeply embedded in the ground. It should be placed horizontally above the base to block mudslides from attacking our base."
"After the earth-type ability users condense soil, you wood-type ability users must quickly encourage plants to grow on the soil, making sure the roots penetrate as deep as possible..."
...
One order after another was issued by Chen Yu, and the superhumans around him left in batches, turning around to throw themselves into the mission.
Although Qiyuan Base does not have geologists, they had reached an agreement with City B Base when they traded before. When City B Base detected a natural disaster, they would notify them and they would provide City B Base with underground minerals as payment.
Upon discovery, the B City base notified Qiyuan Foundation in accordance with the agreement.
Qiyuan Base also immediately took action, but since they didn't have as many superhumans as the B City Base, their actions were somewhat hampered, so they chose another method.
