Chapter 537: Virus in the Rain

The omniscient AI did not respond directly, as if it was comparing the information in the database.

Lin Xiao hesitated again and again, and gave up saving the poor slaves below, because in less than a minute, the entire industrial area had become the world of those roots.

These roots are clustered together, each of which has a diameter of more than ten meters, which is still the volume of all the roots gathered into a ball, if it is completely extended and spread, each root has a length of tens of meters!

When the flesh of the men and slaves had been absorbed, the roots fell silent, and they fell from the sky, clinging to the ground, and then disappearing into the soil, leaving only the dry corpses everywhere.

Lin Xiao, who had palpitations, immediately gave up the search plan, the corpses below were his own lessons from the past, and he was not ready to become one of the corpses on the ground.

The omniscient artificial intelligence is still in the process of comparison, and has been silent, Lin Xiao decided to go back to the hotel to rest after a short hesitation, this place is a bit evil and scary, it is better not to take risks.

This trip out, first mutated mushrooms, then mutated plant roots, and after a while, I'm afraid that even the grass in this world will not be safe!

On Lin Xiao's way back to the hotel, dark clouds began to cover the sky, and there were thunderstorms under the sound of the wind, and it seemed that a downpour was coming.

Lin Xiao became more and more uneasy in his heart, rain means the crazy growth of plants, if it doesn't matter before the end, but now. , this thief, my God, don't you really want to kill all the human beings?

After returning to the hotel, Lin Xiao told Peng Ling what he had seen and heard in the industrial park, and Peng Ling was also stunned for a while, and had the same worries as Lin Xiao.

The heavy rain came soon, not for any of the rainstorms in Lin Xiao's memory, the pea-sized raindrops almost connected the city, standing in the hotel window and looking out, the visibility was only a few meters away.

"What the hell is wrong with this world!" Peng Ling's face was gloomy, and she couldn't help but think of her parents, her family, and everything before the end.

Before all this happened, the Peng family was a behemoth, not only owning several domestic foreign trade ports, but also having a variety of foreign businesses, and the family's children were all over all walks of life at home and abroad, controlling the economic lifeline of several provinces.

is such a huge and indestructible family, and it is as fragile as a child in the face of natural disasters!

In the first month of the cataclysm, the family members were torn apart, and in the second month after the cataclysm, there were only double digits left in the family members.

In the fourth month after the catastrophe broke out, the Peng family was left alone.

Thinking about it, tears flashed in Peng Ling's eyes. The rain outside the window seemed to be getting heavier, and the atmosphere became more and more deadly.

"No matter how the world changes, the dead are gone, and the living are self-reliant!" Lin Xiao noticed Peng Ling's emotional changes, and after thinking about it, he could only hold back such a sentence of relief that was not a relief.

"I know, it's just, it's just a little unacceptable." Peng Ling let out a sigh of relief, turned her back and touched the tears in her eyes, and when she turned to look at Lin Xiao again, there was only strength left in her eyes: "According to this amount of rainfall, the underground garage will soon be flooded by rainwater, do you want to drive the pickup truck out and move it to the lobby of the hotel?" ”

After carefully considering Peng Ling's proposal, Lin Xiao decided to give up the ninety percent new Raptor pickup, the car is a good car, but it may not be usable!

"Forget it, God knows if there are any harmful substances in this rain, so don't risk your life for a car!" Lin Xiao said faintly, seeing the horror of the mushroom and the roots of the plant, Lin Xiao didn't dare to take anything lightly now.

In this way, the two of them chatted without a word, and the day passed.

On this day, the torrential rain did not stop at all, the entire city ruins were completely filled with rainwater, and more than two meters of water accumulated on the streets.

After a night, the first thing Lin Xiao did when he woke up was to come to the window and look outside, the rainstorm still had no intention of stopping, the water on the ground was already five or six meters deep, and he also began to pinch a cold sweat for the Dark Rock Headquarters.

The Dark Rock Headquarters is about 500 kilometers away from here, and this distance is not far away, but it is not close to it, if the Dark Rock Headquarters is also invaded by such a rainstorm, can it survive?

Lin Xiao was not sure in his heart, he didn't know much about the infrastructure construction of the Dark Rock Headquarters, those things were all handled by Wang Dalong and Lao Gang, according to the veteran experience of those two people, they should take into account drainage measures, right? But the problem is, in the face of such a rainstorm, no kind of drainage measures will have little effect, right?

While Lin Xiao was worried about the Dark Rock Headquarters, Wang Dalong and the others were also worried.

The torrential rain enveloped the entire Eurasian continent, and the heavy rainfall that has lasted for nearly 20 hours has caused the water level of every river and lake to skyrocket, countless cities have been flooded, the Yellow River has burst its banks, and the Yangtze River has also entered an endangered state.

The only thing to be thankful for is that the nuclear power plant that Lin Xiao had worried about, the reactor that was about to explode due to the high temperature of the reactor, maintained the temperature at a safe line under the heavy rain, at least until the stagnant water receded, and the possibility of explosion was completely ruled out.

In the headquarters of the Dark Rock Headquarters, an emergency meeting was being held, and all the participants were solemn, and Wang Dalong was even more dripping.

"Let's talk about what is going on in the area they are responsible for!" Lao Gang lit a cigarette, and his voice was full of seriousness.

"The area I am responsible for is currently fine, the terrain is relatively high, so the water situation is still within the safety line for the time being, but according to the current rainfall, after more than ten hours, the prefabricated house will not be able to hold on!" Wang Dalong, who was in charge of the residential buildings in the central area, was depressed, and he pointed to the drip hanging on his arm: "This rain is very evil, I just drenched it for half an hour, and when I turned around, I began to have a high fever that did not go away, and I was still weak at this time!" ”

"That's right, what germs should be contained in the rain, and the garrison team in charge of vigilance has all experienced varying degrees of non-combat attrition, and they are all lining up to get a drip at this time! Moreover, our medicines are already in an emergency! The person in charge of the medical team also had an ugly face, as he was in charge of the medical security of the entire headquarters, he knew very well what it meant that there were no medicines, and all the medicines that could be collected in the surrounding area were basically swept away.

"The moat has overflowed, and I'm most worried about the wall right now!" Wang Dalong frowned, he had been to the wall before, and the water level in the moat had risen sharply, and it had submerged to half the height of the wall.

"Professor Yang, how is the situation in the laboratory now?" Lao Gang looked at Professor Yang, who had been silent, and asked, Lin Xiao was most concerned about the laboratory in the headquarters, and had told him more than once that the laboratory must not be lost, and that would be the cornerstone of the revival of human civilization.

Professor Yang's mood was quite stable, and he glanced at the people around him with a calm face: "The location of the laboratory is the highest, and there is no serious water accumulation at present, but we have conducted a preliminary laboratory test on the rainwater, which contains thousands of germs, and there are even many germs similar to smallpox that have been completely eliminated, and what worries me even more is that these germs are extremely active in the rain, which is why most people who are drenched in the rain will quickly develop symptoms." ”

"In other words, there are three biggest problems that we need to face for the time being, drainage, medicine, and shelter from the rain?" Lao Gang listened to everyone's narrative and came to this conclusion, his brows furrowed even tighter: "Can you blow a gap in the wall first to drain the water?" As for the skyrocketing water level in the moat, do you have any good suggestions? ”

"The wall can't be blown up! Pull a hair and move the whole body! Wang Dalong immediately objected to this proposal: "In many areas, the water level inside the wall is still lower than the water level outside the wall. ”

"Actually, there is another way, a solution to the root cause!" Professor Yang suddenly slapped the table: "The reason why the rainstorm is continuous is because it rarely rained in the past few months, and the clouds are too thick. ”

In the end, Professor Yang, who still had some confidence, also lowered his head, the more he engaged in technology, the more he knew how difficult the technical difficulty of this method was, it was easy to artificially promote rain, but if he wanted to artificially disperse the clouds, the technical difficulties were not to mention for the time being, this luck component also accounted for too much proportion, not to mention that the thickness of the clouds at the moment is simply unprecedented, according to this rainfall calculation, this is simply the carnival season of plant evolution.

"Since we can't think of a better way in a short period of time, we can't do nothing and do our best to obey the destiny of God!" Wang Dalong lit a cigarette, he took a few puffs with a gloomy face, shook his hand and snuffed out the cigarette butt: "Increase the number of patrols on the wall, the wall is the top priority, the wall must not be broken until the water level on the inside of the wall is lower than the outside of the wall!" Always ready for emergency repair work! ”

"In addition, let the factory stop the manufacturing of military uniforms and other daily necessities, and make a large number of full-coverage raincoats and rain boots, these raincoats are preferentially assigned to the teams and types of work that need to work in the rain, in addition, the medical side must keep up, don't care about the consumption of drugs, in the face of life, the stock of drugs has no meaning!"
