Inside the warm and comfortable fortress, the TV in the living room was still playing the previous anime. She was just about to sit down and finish watching the rest when she suddenly smelled the pungent odor on her body. She scanned it with her mental energy and found that she was also covered with a layer of tiny "dust". These things were attached to her clothes and were so fine that they were invisible to the naked eye.
She frowned slightly and strode towards the bathroom. After taking a shower, she also carefully cleaned her clothes.
While cleaning, she discovered that the dust was insoluble in water and just floated in the water. This made her wonder what it was. If it entered the body through the respiratory tract and was not easily soluble in water, how could it be expelled?
After she finished everything and came out of the bathroom, Afu and the others had already returned to the fortress. Lin Ruo used her spiritual power to look out and found that the mutated plants and animals were now very well-behaved, except that they were more active on the mountain peaks.
Lin Ruo asked curiously, "Are you all so at ease?"
A-Liu gestured with a willow branch to Lin Ruo. After seeing this, Lin Ruo raised her eyebrows slightly. She didn't expect that they were quite clever. They actually made the mutated animals and mutated plants supervise each other. As long as they caught the other making a mistake, they would get to eat mutated beast meat.
"So smart." Lin Ruo patted them gently, her smile reaching her eyes. As their levels increased, they became smarter and smarter. Before, they only knew how to suppress with force, but now they know how to check and balance each other.
She then sat comfortably on the sofa, watching TV with them. She held a bag of snacks in her hand, her eyes fixed on the anime on TV, but her thoughts had already wandered off.
...
Meanwhile, the B City base was located on a barren mountain in a neighboring city. Everyone was busy at work, with the busiest group being the military tents in the very center.
One by one, the superhumans and the higher-ups rushed in and left, all to follow the instructions of those inside.
"Base Commander, according to the last images detected by our remaining equipment, the entire city of B has completely fallen, and the sky above the city is completely shrouded in white fog. The temperature is extremely high, and reconnaissance aircraft cannot get close for the time being."
"We have just detected a large amount of volcanic ash spreading in our direction. Because we do not know what hazards may be present in this volcanic ash, we recommend that precautions be taken as soon as possible."
“We detected that the energy level in the air has completely exceeded the standard. The plants brought out from the base have begun to react. If this continues, these mutated plants and animals may become violent due to the excess energy, and the situation will be very difficult to control.”
...
Messages were carried into the command tent of the temporary base with the footsteps of these people. Ye Lin, sitting at the front, had a serious expression and was thinking of countermeasures.
"City B has been completely overrun. Let's put the testing on hold for now and have all the reconnaissance planes return to base. We'll fly over there once we see the smoke clear."
"The laboratory is working hard to study what substances are in this volcanic ash. If a fundamental solution cannot be found for the time being, we will use physical barriers first and distribute face shields or masks to every survivor."
"As for the mutated plants, first increase the dosage of the medicine to inhibit their absorption of this energy. Quickly contact the base in City C to see if they have completely escaped. If they have already settled down, explain the energy issue to them, that the medicine to inhibit the plants came from them, and see if they have any solutions."
As orders were issued and people came and went, Ye Lin felt like his brain was about to explode.
Although they started migrating two days ago, there were simply too many people in the base, and ordinary means of transportation simply couldn't be used in such thick snow. So it took them quite a while to move all the personnel out, and they haven't had time to build any fortifications yet, even after they've moved to this mountain.
Currently, tents are still being used throughout the entire base, including Ye Lin's area.
The tent was finally empty. Ye Lin turned to look at the national map on the wall next to him and walked over. In the past two days, he had received a lot of requests for help from bases that had discovered cracks around their bases. However, his base was already struggling to take care of itself and had no energy to help others.
His gaze swept across the rest of the map before finally settling on City B. They had ultimately failed to hold City B. City held a special place in the hearts of the people of Z country. After such a long period of perseverance, they had finally succumbed to natural disaster.
Although they had previously calculated that City B would be completely swallowed by lava, they did not expect it to happen so quickly, especially the entire Yanshan Mountains, with such a high altitude and such a large area, yet it still could not hold out for long, which shows how powerful this natural disaster was.
In the past two days, they have moved to a neighboring city, where there is also an artificially constructed mountain, which experts have calculated is the easiest place to escape this disaster.
The city is sandwiched between two massive fissures, hundreds of kilometers away from each of them, so the lava shouldn't have reached here.
However, this was not the whole story of the natural disaster. Although the lava was far away, this place was sandwiched between two fissures, and they could not escape the other natural disasters brought about by the fissures.
This energy and soot all came to the surface with the lava. While the high energy content is good for humans, the harm it brings is also obvious. They even brought out all the mutated plants from the base, since these mutated plants are now an important "food producer" for the base.
To prevent these mutated plants from absorbing too much energy and then attacking humans, they can only temporarily suppress their growth.
Besides these, there's the ever-rising temperature and the continuous torrential rain...
Just as Ye Lin was getting increasingly stressed, Jiang Yue strode into the tent with a very serious expression. "Base Commander, the temperature is rising rapidly, and all the snow is melting in large quantities, especially the snow on the mountain, which is melting faster than the snow at the foot of the mountain. The melted snow is flowing down the mountain. In order to prevent mudslides, we must build strong fortifications as soon as possible. Otherwise, these tents alone will definitely not be enough to withstand the mudslides, and it may cause a lot of casualties."
