Chapter 111: The Demon Capital Has Fallen
Dark all round.
The magic capital has been prosperous since ancient times.
Not only during the day, but at night, the high-rise buildings are brilliantly lit, and dozens of floors of buildings are piled together, looking from a distance, like a row of swords pointing to the sky, the city is a sword pool.
The lights are brighter than the stars.
Tonight, however, is different.
The time had just entered the evening, which was supposed to be the evening rush hour, but the red clouds in the western sky could not be seen at all, even the sun, and there was almost no left.
Dark clouds enveloped the city like a block.
It was pitch black and gloomy, and the originally prosperous city was almost like a ghost.
The wind was blowing and the rain was raining, and the water on the ground was not shallow.
The magic capital naturally has flood discharge measures, but at this moment, it seems that it can't play any role at all.
The location close to the city center is ok.
Because it's dark.
The buildings were lit up, and in the heavy rain the lights were dim, and the windows were either thick curtains or faces standing in front of the windows.
Older faces tend to have a worried expression.
The young and immature children did not seem to feel frightened, and even shouted for joy and surprise.
If it's too noisy, you'll probably be scolded by your elders and pulled away.
Then the window was replaced with the melancholy of the adults.
It's not like people haven't seen typhoons, but today, it's too big.
Looking out the window, you can clearly see the trees on the side of the road snapping, the blown trees rolling up, hitting the billboard of a building, and sparks flying everywhere.
Those trash cans, clothes hanging outside that they didn't have time to put away...... They were all blown out into the streets, in the alleys, and were beaten to the ground.
The glass on the surface of some buildings was shattered by the wind and torn, revealing black holes.
Standing water spreads, and the wind and rain are fierce.
It's like a sign of doom.
But most people are at ease.
The human body was too fragile, so reinforced concrete houses were made and sheltered from the wind and rain.
Outside there was a terrible flood, but inside it was quiet and peaceful.
The soft lighting, the soft bed, and the sound of spatulas colliding in the kitchen are all soothing and relaxing.
Many people hide indoors and log on to the Internet with nothing to do.
Major media outlets have already prepared fresh articles to present to users.
"Once in a thousand years! Typhoon landfall en masse! γ
"Typhoon No. 23 is freshly baked, I invite you to name her!" γ
"The Central Government Issued a Red Weather Warning! You need to know these ten knowledge points! γ
"Disaster Relief Drills Organized by Local Governments"
Popular Science: Why is the weather so weird this year? γ
Heavy Rain? It's better to listen to the songs, these classics are for you"
β¦β¦
Media writing, chasing hot spots.
Netizens are happy to click, retweet, and comment.
The fit is seamless.
Merely......
Those who have a wide range of channels or have a keen sense do not participate in the heated discussion on the Internet, but have a heavy heart, like a heavy stone.
β¦β¦
Inside an old residential building facing the street.
A toddler was leaning on the window, looking intently.
In the kitchen, my mother brought dinner to the table: "It's good food, don't look at it, go wash your hands and eat!" β
After saying that, the woman turned her head to find that the child had not moved at all.
She couldn't help but sink her face and walked to the window: "Did you hear that?" Let's go eat! β
The child suddenly turned his head and said, "Mom, look, there are many people on the street." β
When the woman heard this, she crossed her waist and said angrily: "What nonsense? How can anyone be outside in this weather? β
"Really, look!"
She walked over suspiciously, looked out the window, and was surprised to see that there were really a lot of people on the street.
There are dozens of them, arranged in three neat queues.
These people were all dressed in black raincoats and ran through the fierce winds.
The wind and rain outside were so strong that even the vehicles did not dare to drive.
This group of people can go against the wind without being blown away, and they are extremely fast.
"Smack."
"Smack."
The rain on the road had already accumulated beyond the surface of the feet, and the people in black were running, up and down, and every step made a huge splash.
Suddenly, a wind blew up one of the man's raincoats, revealing the small lapel uniform underneath.
The woman's face in front of the window changed slightly.
These people turned out to be cultivators from the government?
What are they going to do with such a big storm?
β¦β¦
"One team to Target Point One!"
"Team 2 goes to Target Point 2!"
"Quickly investigate the flood situation and report it every five minutes!"
Running to an intersection, the leader of the small lapel suddenly shouted.
They were the personnel sent by the Second Division to investigate the situation.
In this kind of weather, ordinary people can't walk at all.
The vehicle cannot be driven.
You can only rely on the practitioners.
"Yes!"
"Yes!"
In the wind and rain, the three teams of small lapels immediately divided into three lanes and ran in different directions.
And the ultimate goal is to be close to the sea.
β¦β¦
Mountains.
"The port of Modu is flooded."
"I see it."
"Many ships capsized and sank."
"I see it."
"The sea is coming ashore, is there a factory over there? Also flooded. β
"I see it."
"Look at that building, it's all washed down, it's miserable."
"I see it."
"The whole village was washed away."
"I see it."
"The houses over there have also been washed away, and the sea seems to be spreading, which is terrible."
ββ¦β¦β
"Why don't you speak?" Cheng Lin looked at Qiao Ya, who was shutting up, and asked.
The hat of Joya's raincoat was lifted by the wind at some point, but she didn't bother to care at all, the cold rain slapped on her face indiscriminately, her forehead, and hair penetrated through the gaps in the raincoat, and she was wet.
It seems like a long time has passed, but in reality it is only ten minutes.
She witnessed the whole process of the landing of the "Poseidon".
The typhoon group, which was enveloped in the power of heaven and earth, set off a huge wave and caused a tsunami, which instantly washed away the ships, washed away the entire port, and then spread to the shore, beginning to engulf the buildings and lives on the shore.
The village had been dim enough to be seen before, but it was gone in a blink of an eye.
That building is about a dozen floors, a superior sea view villa.
The flood rushed in, and the terrifying waves more than ten meters high, or even tens of meters high, forcibly broke the villa building from the middle!
The entire building was cut in half, cut off, collapsed with a bang, and was engulfed.
Dark all round.
Thunder tears through the dark sky.
The wind seemed to be black, obscuring her vision, and she could only see a vague vision, but it was enough to make her heart tremble.
This......
This is really not a normal typhoon anymore.
The breath of destruction is terrifying.
This is simply a realistic recreation of the apocalyptic scene in the movie.
Don't say ordinary people.
Even Qiao Ya, as a third-grade cultivator, couldn't help but sway, and her blood faded.
"Oh my God......"
Qiao Ya muttered, the thunder of the angry sea reflected in her moist eyes.
Cheng Lin looked at her face, looked down at something else, then looked away and reached out to help her pull the hat of the raincoat back on.
"Put your hat on......"
Cheng Lin said slowly.
Qiao Ya suddenly seemed to come back to her senses, and grabbed Cheng Lin's arm violently, her fingers were pale from the rain, but they were extremely hard.
"What do you mean...... It's true?
Is that prophecy true?
The Great Flood Destroys the World? β
Cheng Lin was in pain by the arm she was holding, grinned, and then said, "Of course." β
"Impossible!"
Joya suddenly seemed to regain her composure.
She said: "I believe that the flood will inundate one place and one city, but it is impossible for the whole world to be flooded by a major flood!"
The Earth's ecosphere is conserved,
In the final analysis, global rainfall comes from the evaporation of seawater.
But this evaporation is not sustainable,
The rain won't go on like this forever,
It's always going to get smaller, it's always going to stop,
The most important thing is that the land will not be flooded.
There is only so much water in the world, even if all the glaciers at the poles melt,
It is impossible to flood all the land! β
Cheng Lin looked at her quietly, and then echoed: "It makes sense, in fact, I'm quite curious, but what will happen, let's just watch quietly, and besides, the inland may still survive, but the demon capital will definitely not." β
Qiao Ya looked at this mysterious young man fixedly, gritted her teeth and asked, "Who are you?" β
Cheng Lin tilted his head slightly and thought about it, then grinned, revealing a mouthful of white teeth: "I am the man you will never get." β
ββ¦β¦β
Qiao Ya's eyes widened, but she didn't expect that the other party was still in the mood to joke at this time.
At this moment, Joya's communicator suddenly rang.
She took it out and looked at it, and her face suddenly changed.
Immediately, she turned sharply and was about to leave.
Cheng Lin was surprised: "Where are you going?" β
"Go home! My house is flooded! You're right, whether it's the end of the world or not, but the devil can't stay! I took my family away immediately! β
Joya didn't look back.
It's just flying away.
Cheng Lin shouted again: "Then you won't arrest me?" β
Maybe it was too far away to hear it, or maybe it was because she didn't want to go back, in short, Qiao Ya didn't say a word, and left with her fastest running speed, and the departing figure was unusually hurried and anxious.
"It seems that I am in a real hurry."
Cheng Lin shook his head and sighed.
The three-rank cultivator ran fast, and in the blink of an eye, he had disappeared into the dense forest.
Cheng Lin looked at the angry sea under the mountain again.
The information in my head is like smoke.
γCongratulations on completing the mission (4)γ
[Mission (Part 5): After three days, the tide of refugees will move inland, and in the meantime, you need to blend in with the citizens of the Demon City and travel west together. But before that, you feel a little tired and decide to go back to the safe house to rest for a while, listen to the music, and read the book]
Cheng Lin shook his head, took one last look at the turbulent sea, turned back, and disappeared into this realm.
β¦β¦
Inside the safe house.
Cheng Lin stood quietly at the door.
The raincoat became a transparent and illusory state, and so did the rain, which accumulated an illusory puddle on the ground.
Cheng Lin took off his raincoat and hung it at the door.
Then I took out my phone, opened the music player, and clicked on a melodious tune.
To soothing music, he walked to the window.
The wind and rain outside the window were completely isolated.
It's miserable and rainy outside.
The interior is warm like spring.
Cheng Lin brewed himself another cup of hot drink.
After taking a sip, my stomach warmed up.
He looked back at the nameless hardcover book on the table.
But I saw that it was spread out at the moment.
"Huh?"
Cheng Lin walked over and found that what was presented was page 22.
There are no words on this page, only pictures.
Similar to the watercolor painting style, it is like an illustration from a fairy tale book.
At the moment, this illustration is a raging sea.
In the corner of the painting, a brightly lit city trembles.
The rain soaked the windows and the world blurred.
[Three hours after Poseidon wrapped the remaining two typhoons into landfall, the remaining four typhoons arrived]
[Storms and tsunamis are like no one, the momentum is like bamboo, the sea level rises, first several major ports fall, and then the waves roll in, spreading to deeper cities]
[The wind and rain have not lessened, but have a tendency to increase]
[More than ten coastal provinces in Xia were hit by marine disasters that had not been encountered in a thousand years at the same time, buildings collapsed, marine life landed, countless casualties were lost, commercial activities were completely stagnant, hundreds of millions of people along the coast were trapped in their houses, and the government's disaster relief operations were completely impossible to carry out in such a wind and rain, and when the sea god was angry, no one could stop it]
[In the territory of the magic capital, it instantly turned into a Ze country]
[Two hours later, the Chongming area fell]
[Three hours later, the Baoshan area fell]
[Four hours later, the Nankai area fell]
[Five hours later, the Pudong area fell]
β¦β¦
[47 hours later, the Demon Capital fell!] γ
