After cleaning the fireplace, she piled up a lot of dead wood next to it. There was still a lot of dead wood in the space. She had consciously stockpiled it for a while before, but this blizzard was going to last for two years. She would need to use fire for heating for two years, which required a huge amount of combustibles.
The dead trees in the space were definitely not enough. She turned to look at the barren hills outside that had been corroded by acid rain. Even if some mutated plants were still alive, only their roots remained. It would take a long time for them to grow back to their previous state, not to mention that the blizzard that followed would put them into a state of "hibernation" and they would not grow at all.
This means that it is almost impossible for Lin Ruo to collect dead trees outside the space for fuel. Fortunately, she still has the coal she had stockpiled in her space. Because she consciously conserved it during the extreme cold, there is still a lot of it left.
In addition, the various trees she planted in the space before have grown into large trees after so long, and with Lin Ruo usually watering them with lake water. Even if the coal is burned out, these trees will be enough for Lin Ruo to burn.
He meticulously listed all the items he needed in the space and stored them in the most conspicuous place in the still space before withdrawing his mental energy from the space.
Snow disasters are actually a very common natural disaster. In fact, before the apocalypse, some places would be snowed in every winter, with snow a meter high being a common occurrence.
The reason why most people died during the blizzard in the previous apocalypse was mainly because the blizzard lasted for too long. In his previous life, Lin Ruo heard people say that in some uninhabited areas, the snow thickness had even exceeded 100 meters due to the altitude.
Moreover, the snow hadn't melted and was fluffy all over. Under these conditions, unless one was a superhuman with special abilities, it would be difficult to move an inch in such snow.
If you're not careful, you'll be buried in the snow, unable to move, and unable to find your way. You can only wait to freeze to death. Even if you stay in your own home, you don't know if the entrance will be blocked by heavy snow after one night. If no one comes to your rescue, you will never be able to get out, and the whole house will become a burial ground.
In such an environment, ordinary survivors had no ability to go out and find supplies and crystal cores. Without these things, they could not survive at all, and a large portion of those who died starved to death at home.
Even if those superhumans were able to go out, the acid rain and blizzards ahead caused both mutated plants and animals to hide out of fear of natural disasters, making them virtually impossible to find outside.
In the previous life, the A City base was like an isolated city during this blizzard. Everyone was trapped in this city and struggled to survive, relying on the food produced by those wood-type ability users.
The fortress is currently located in the center of the eastern mountain peak, but it is not the highest point of the entire mountain. There are still mountains tens of meters above it. During blizzards, she will have to pay close attention to the snow accumulation above in order to prevent avalanches.
Every so often, the surrounding snow needs to be cleared away. Fortunately, her stationary space is infinitely large; otherwise, clearing all the snow would be quite a task.
While Lin Ruo was busily preparing for the blizzard, the acid rain outside was coming to an end, and the intensity of the acid rain had decreased again, now only a light drizzle.
The base in City B finally breathed a sigh of relief. If the rain had continued for another day, it would have been questionable whether their underground base could have survived.
Although the rain hasn't stopped, it has given people a glimmer of hope.
The rain continued for another half hour before finally stopping, but the survivors dared not go out. Although the rain had stopped, the soil outside still contained a lot of acidic substances, and they would probably still get hurt if they stepped on it.
When the acid rain stopped, Ye Lin breathed a sigh of relief. He subconsciously looked at the terminal on his wrist, which showed the time as early as midnight. The acid rain had started and ended at midnight.
He led his men to open the gate to the underground base, and a strong odor wafted out, causing Ye Lin and Jiang Yue behind him to frown and cover their noses.
Then they saw the scene outside. At this time, apart from the underground base area, experimental warehouse, and breeding area, which were relatively intact, the rest of the B City base had been melted away. Only the underground warehouse canopy that had been built earlier had fallen to the ground, which looked rather desolate.
The ground was full of potholes, and acid rain still lingered in these potholes, constantly corroding the soil around them and making a sizzling sound.
Seeing this scene, Ye Lin and the others felt a chill in their hearts. Even these buildings with rain shelters had been completely corroded. How could the survivors outside possibly survive?
"How could this be?" Jiang Yue frowned. He thought that with the underground ore protecting these buildings, they could at least hold out until the acid rain stopped, but now there was no trace of the buildings left in front of him.
Considering that even such a safe place as the underground base was almost eroded by acid rain, it's uncertain how many people would still be left in this underground base if it weren't for the perseverance of these superhumans.
After the acid rain, the weather didn't seem so hot anymore. Even the dark clouds in the sky hadn't dispersed, and there was a gentle breeze from time to time. Unfortunately, the breeze still carried that pungent smell, which made people extremely uncomfortable. The dark clouds in the sky also gave people a sense of oppression, making them fear that the acid rain would continue.
Ye Lin looked at the white smoke still rising from the ground and said, "We can't go out now. We'll wait until the ground outside is drier before we go out and take a look."
Not only Ye Lin, but people from other bases thought the same way. Their situation was even worse than that of the B City base. Some smaller bases were even completely wiped out by the acid rain.
Ye Lin originally wanted to wait a couple of days before sending someone out to assess the losses, but the meteorological bureau expert impatiently knocked on Ye Lin's office door.
"Base Commander, we've calculated the next natural disaster: there's an 80% chance it will be a massive blizzard! And judging by the sky, it might be arriving very soon. We need to take immediate precautions!"
