Chapter 151 Pollution

[This hailstorm came unexpectedly, without any signs before it started, and lasted for three days before it ended. Three days is not a long time, but it is not a short time either. The hailstorm outside was the size of a fist, falling from a height of 10,000 meters. There is no doubt that it is destructive to everything on the ground.]

[In just three days, the buildings in the city and the newly built shelters in various bases were damaged on a large scale. The roads on the ground became more potholed and uneven. Not only that, the skin of the people who were exposed to the hail began to itch and rot. No matter what method or medicine was used, it could only relieve the irritation but not eliminate it. Only timely excision could prevent the wound from continuing to expand.]

【Having seen the impact of the viruses carried by hail on humans, people reacted belatedly. They were so hurt by just touching the hail, so wouldn’t the pollution of freshwater lakes and soil exposed to the outside be even more serious?】

[Water and food will become more scarce and in short supply in the future. This is everyone's first reaction. Before they can get over the bad news of water and food shortages, another piece of bad news comes. People find that the slow-moving zombies have evolved again after the hailstorm. Even the lowest-level zombies have become as fast, hear, and react as normal people, not to mention the higher-level zombies.]

Shu Xin recalled the description of the aftermath of the hailstorm in the original book, and felt a chill in her heart.

This unexpected hailstorm has made the living environment and conditions for human beings even worse, making it more difficult for ordinary people to survive.

My mind was full of thoughts but I had no concrete idea. My heavy eyelids could no longer support me and I fell asleep.

The next day, the hail was still falling outside, and Shuxin and the others were already sitting in the conference room with breakfast in hand.

They all had things on their minds and could not wait for breakfast to be over, so they chose to hold the meeting while eating breakfast.

"Since the hailstorm last night, the intercom has stopped working, which means the magnetic field has been affected. Based on this, we can infer that the hail outside is not an ordinary natural disaster."

"The falling hailstones probably contain some energy that we cannot see with our naked eyes. If they fall on lakes and land outside, they are likely to be affected. In the future, we should not use water outside."

Yan Mo briefly explained the reason why they were not allowed to use water. They were all smart people and immediately understood what he meant.

They are powerless to change the pollution of water resources, and the chaos they will face after the water resources are polluted is what they should focus on.

The water resources outside have been completely destroyed. The only drinkable water is the mineral water produced and bottled before the end of the world and the water produced by water-based mutants.

Things developed just as they expected. After everyone discovered that the water resources outside were polluted, there was a rush to buy bottled water in the base. The price of a bottle of mineral water on the black market even soared to one hundred crystal cores per bottle.

Among many common elemental power users, water power users have not been very impressive in terms of attack power, but they have suddenly become the object of competition among various power teams and their status has risen sharply.

Some water-type esper who wanted to join a powerful team but had no way to do so started to think and find another way.

Taking advantage of their rising worth, many water-based psychics successfully joined the team.

The Dawn Squad and the Thunder Squad are the two strongest teams in the base, and many people want to join them. However, the Thunder Squad already has a water-type psychic and an ice-type psychic, so the need for a water-type psychic is not that urgent. Those who have ideas unanimously set their sights on the Dawn Squad.

There isn't anyone in the Dawn Team who openly has water-related abilities, so by comparison, the chances of them joining are greater.
