The sea under the moonlight was bustling with activity. Ships carrying teams of superhumans from various bases were heading towards Yanshan in City B. However, one wooden boat was heading in the opposite direction, slowly sailing into the distance.
Lin Ruo sat on the wooden boat, spreading her mental energy outwards and using her water-based abilities to propel herself further away from Yanshan. She kept a close eye on the density of the mutated sea monsters underwater, as well as the people passing by.
She noticed that the number of mutated sea monsters below had not increased but had actually decreased significantly. She sighed slightly, realizing that her trip had been in vain, as all the mutated sea monsters had escaped.
Four months have passed since the last mutated sea monster came ashore, and a year has passed in the blink of an eye.
For the past four months, there hasn't been a single cloud in the sky above City B, as if the last heavy rain had squeezed out all the moisture from the sky.
During the day, the area is exposed to intense sunlight. The hot weather causes the water temperature at the foot of the mountain to rise continuously, while the water level continues to drop, shrinking the living space for these mutated sea creatures.
In addition, Lin Ruo often went into the water to hunt during this period. Every time she hunted, she used her water-based superpowers to transform herself into different mutated sea beasts, which caused these mutated sea beasts to have mental breakdowns. Over time, many sea beasts left this area and migrated to a more distant and closer direction to the sea.
Lin Ruo expanded his mental power to its maximum and continued to explore underwater. The seawater on the surface was about 50 degrees Celsius, even at night. Only the temperature in the deep water area more than ten meters below was lower.
The sea level has dropped by more than 5 meters due to the intense sun exposure over the past few months, and the rate of drop is still increasing.
Having experienced a past life, Lin Ruo couldn't help but wonder. In her previous life, during the extreme heat and blizzard, it snowed heavily for two consecutive years. So, was the current situation about accumulating moisture for that blizzard? But there was still a year until the blizzard. The amount of moisture accumulating in the sky over such a long period was simply terrifying.
Soon her wooden boat passed by Yin Chuan and his yacht. Only then did she notice that the people standing on it were superhumans from the A City base. A City and B City are so far apart, yet they all came all this way. It seems they really value this place.
Lin Ruo looked up at them, then turned back to continue monitoring the underwater mutated beast, while the wooden boat continued to sail away into the distance.
Two weeks ago, the B City base announced on radio that they had developed a new communication device—a communication terminal. This device can cover the entire globe, achieving barrier-free global communication. They will hold a trade fair, where important R&D projects will be announced.
Lin Ruo also heard the broadcast from the B City base on the radio at home. When she heard the news, her first thought was that after a year of extreme heat, the B City base was going to announce how to use the crystal cores.
Presumably, after this trade fair, many people with superpowers will emerge from all over the world, and this will be the time when the number of people with superpowers is the largest.
Moreover, the first thing they did after developing this communication terminal was to broadcast it to the outside world, with the aim of distributing the terminal to every base so that the bases could communicate with each other and share resources, thus jointly combating such a large-scale natural disaster.
Once the broadcast was released, the B City base naturally became the focus of everyone's attention.
Since that day, people with superpowers from other cities have been arriving at Yanshan one after another. Yanshan was not peaceful to begin with. With the two major bases and various small forces, and now people with superpowers from other bases arriving, these people have different thoughts. Yanshan is going to be lively for a while.
Not only was the main peak of Yanshan bustling with activity, but even this remote side peak was frequently visited. The mutated plants on the mountain seemed to relish these visitors, as they enriched their diet.
Several months have passed, and the environment on Yanshan Mountain, which was previously destroyed by large-scale mudslides, has begun to recover. The vitality of these mutated plants is so strong that Lin Ruo is amazed.
Lin Ruo even discovered that many small animals were born on Yanshan Mountain. Due to the mutated animals' physical condition, their reproductive capacity had become much stronger.
Once, while she was practicing her superpowers on her mountain peak, she clearly saw a pair of bears running out with seven bear cubs of roughly the same size. Before the apocalypse, bears could only give birth to 2-3 cubs per litter, but now that number has more than doubled.
Moreover, because they have been fed well since they were young, these mutated animals have a very short growth process. For example, her son Alu has grown to more than five meters long in just a few months and has now reached the peak of level 2. He will soon be able to upgrade to level 3.
She has visited the B City base very few times in the past few months. The B City base is developing better and better, and the extremely hot weather seems to have been completely overcome for the B City base.
Even though wildfires, hurricanes, storm surges and other disasters have occurred frequently in the past few months, constantly threatening people's survival, they have not stopped the B City base from moving forward. They have overcome fear and fought against natural disasters time and time again. Now Lin Ruo finally understands the saying that the difference between humans and animals is that humans are good at thinking and creating.
The B City base perfectly exemplifies this statement; they are able to utilize every available resource to ensure their survival.
Having experienced two apocalypses, Lin Ruo never imagined that the apocalypse could be experienced in this way.
Lin Ruo knew that the base in City B was researching the possibility of replanting crops. They had been collecting soil samples from various places in the Yanshan Mountains and even sent ability users across the ocean to other continental cities. However, without exception, the conclusion was that the soil lacked the nutrients that ordinary plants depend on for survival. Where had all those nutrients gone? Why could mutated plants thrive in such soil?
