[4361] Episode 94: The River Flows Against the Current!
Far away, as far as the eye can see, he sees that the water tide of the Yangtze River is surging, the water level is high, and a lot of land on both sides of the river has been annihilated.
On the shore, you can see all kinds of aquatic creatures everywhere, huge shells, shrimp and crabs crawling around, and some strange aquatic creatures that can't be named.
"How can there be an unprovoked high tide, and besides, the water level has risen so much?" Xiao Lan felt an inexplicable heaviness in his eyes, and he vaguely felt that the human survivors in this world were about to face more severe survival challenges!
At this time, a huge whirlpool suddenly appeared on the water surface in front of him, and then, an indescribable huge shadow quietly crossed the water surface, leaving a rainbow-like water mark, and the water surface was agitated, setting off huge water waves, making a loud "whoosh" sound.
Xiao Lan consciously took a few steps back, and when he came back to his senses, the giant beast in the water had disappeared without a trace, and he consciously raised his hand and touched his forehead, which was covered with sweat.
Although it was only a glimpse, the unimaginably terrifying aura still made his heart beat violently and palpitate.
Slowly stepping back, Xiao Lan frowned, jumped on the roof of a small building, he looked at the wide river, at this time, he was shocked and inexplicably found that the rise of the water level was a bit too exaggerated, overnight, it had submerged more than 500 meters on both sides of the river! Note: Character anti-filter to watch the latest chapters
Some buildings near the riverbank are already soaked in water at this moment!
You must know that before the end of the world, most of these places were in a state of dryness, and only during the flood season for a period of time, there would be water tides, but it was only a shallow layer of cover, and it was impossible to achieve the current situation. What's more, according to the date, the flood season will arrive at least two months away, how can this happen?
He looked at the surface of the river carefully, and was shocked to find that the river had already stopped flowing, and even faintly, there was a phenomenon of backflow!
How is this possible? Don't...... As if remembering something, Xiao Lan's face couldn't help but change drastically, and he couldn't help but exclaim: "It's not good!" ”
The Yangtze River flows from Qinghai to the sea in the east, the terrain is gradually from high to low, although Jiangkou City is in the middle reaches, but the terrain is not low, the only possible reason for this situation is - the sea level is rising!
After the T virus spread throughout the world, the direct impact is the mutation of animals and plants, and the impact of the mutation of animals and plants is climate warming, and then the glaciers of the Arctic and Antarctica, after such a long period of melting, the sea level of the entire earth's oceans may have risen by more than one meter or two meters, and over time, it will rise further until the glaciers and temperatures form a new equilibrium.
Rising sea levels will have devastating consequences, as large areas of coastal areas will be submerged by the sea and become part of the ocean. For example, J City and Jiangkou City are located in the middle reaches of the Yangtze River, and their terrain is high, although they will not be submerged by the sea, but some low-lying plains and hills around will inevitably be submerged.
"In such a situation, this is the end of the human race!" Xiao Lan thought that his previous experience was cruel enough, but the facts in front of him gave him an even heavier blow.
It's really hard to imagine what the world will become in the future, but one thing is certain, with the continuous erosion of the ocean, countless survivor bases built on the coast will be submerged by the sea, and countless people will die silently, and with the increase of the ocean water level and the expansion of the water area, the living environment of the entire human race will further become worse.
He walked back with some loss, today's events made him feel as if he had met the end of mankind and was about to enter the twilight and sink.
It seems that you have to make a choice!
Xiao Lan's heart froze, and immediately summoned the brilliant mecha, in the sunset, he galloped all the way back to J City, and on the way, he killed several large mutant giant birds, which was regarded as a gift for the return trip.
Far away, the Yingxing Hotel was already in sight, and Xiao Lan was surprised to find that at the door of the Yingxing Hotel, two huge mutant white lions were patrolling.
"How did they get here?!" Xiao Lan was a little surprised, he landed in front of the hotel gate, disarmed, and the two mutated white lions approached with obvious intimacy, and let out a happy roar from their mouths.
"Da Bai Erbai, what's wrong?" At this time, in the building, a slender figure jumped out sensitively and quickly, it was the first human survivor Xiao Lan had saved: Su Yun!
I haven't seen him for a few days, maybe because he has eaten the flesh and blood of the mutated creatures he left behind, Su Yun's strength has greatly improved, and according to the comparison of data, his physical attributes are at least ten times more than that of ordinary humans.
"Brother Xiao, you're back!" As soon as he came out of the hotel building, Su Yun saw Xiao Lan, and when he couldn't help but shout in surprise, then, the building moved when he heard the sound, and many people came out in a bustling manner.
"Mr. Xiao, are you back?!"
Although they are all human survivors rescued by Xiao Lan, compared to Su Yun, who has been with Xiao Lan for the longest time, these people are obviously much more restrained.
"Well, I'm worried about everyone." Xiao Lan replied with a smile, he looked at everyone, obviously, after eating the flesh and blood of mutated creatures, their physical attributes have been greatly improved, especially young men and women, who can be increased to more than five times that of ordinary humans, plus wisdom and weapons, they already have the capital to struggle to survive in the apocalypse.
At this time, Yun Tao came out of the crowd and said with a smile: "We know that our strength is low, and we are already very ashamed that we can't help Mr. Xiao, if we don't even want to worry about it, how can we be worthy of Mr. Xiao's life-saving grace?" ”
"You're serious." Xiao Lan glanced at it, found Luo Shan in the crowd, and said with a smile: "What's the matter, I didn't lie to you, eating the flesh and blood of mutant creatures, you can become strong, as long as you keep eating, plus exercising and fighting, soon, you can have a certain strength!" ”
"It's all a gift from a gentleman!" Luo Shan said excitedly: "Without the flesh and blood of the first batch of mutant creatures given by Mr., we would not be able to become stronger at all, we would not be able to go out to hunt mutated creatures, and naturally we would not be able to obtain the foundation of struggling to survive in the apocalyptic world!" ”
"Yes, Brother Xiao!" Su Yun also said excitedly: "We can go out to hunt zombies and mutated creatures now, in the past few days when you have been out, some nearby areas have been cleaned up by us, and a few survivors have been rescued?" That's right! ”
As if thinking of something, she said with a little joy: "I also saved Da Bai and Erbai's children, so they decided to follow me, and I am responsible for taking care of their children, those little lions, it's interesting!" ”
"Really?" Xiao Lan nodded with a smile, then turned his head, and said with a bit of seriousness: "I came this time, in fact, I have something to tell you, the sea level has begun to rise sharply recently, and the waters have begun to expand, you must be careful, once the situation is not right, move to a higher place, the mutated creatures in the water are far more dangerous than those on land, you must be careful if you encounter them in the future!" ”
Seeing Xiao Lan's solemn words, Yun Tao and the others suddenly didn't realize it, and the calm Yun Tao hurriedly nodded heavily, and responded: "Mr. Xiao's reminder, we have remembered it!" ”
"That's good." Xiao Lan said in a deep voice: "I still have something to do, it's inconvenient to stay for a long time, leave you some flesh and blood of mutated creatures and antidotes, which can be regarded as my blessing to you, remember, unite and love, and survive well......"
