Chapter 57: Acid Rain Falls
"Yes, Count Blackwing told me that their father and daughter were hunted down when they first left the palace. We captured hundreds of Assassins while we rescued them, and we are holding them down. They confessed that the mastermind behind the scenes was Jasmine! Yan Xi was a little reluctant to mention the ex-fiancée, and her face showed disdain.
"Jasmine! She actually dared to assassinate the nobles of the empire, she was still an earl, her position was much more noble than her, she was just a king's mistress! General Rongsheng said angrily, his voice amplified, and he didn't care if it would be heard by anyone present.
"Oh! I see......"
"That's right......"
"Tsk, Jasmine is really vicious!"
The magicians present were talking to each other about the Count of Blackwing's father and daughter being hunted down by Jasmine.
The dome of the magic fortress was still expanding, and General Rongsheng's army of 200,000 and the revolving restaurant were quietly covered by the dome, and the soldiers were unaware.
The construction of the dome is in a race against time, and Brigitte's magic factory copies the construction equipment of the dome and produces it in large quantities, and also selflessly sends the equipment to all the survivor bases of the dragon kingdom in the name of the magic guild.
Thanks to the efforts of the Magic Guild, twenty percent of the land of the Dragon Kingdom has been shrouded in a dome.
Tacheng has replaced almost the entire desert with primeval forests all over the world, covering an area of the two dragon kingdoms combined.
It's just that most of the dome hasn't had time to clean up yet, and there are still many zombies and mutant beasts inside, and there are even many survivors hidden in the depths.
Of course, the replacement work uses Tower City's secret weapon, the Quantum Scale Shooting Gun. The staff of Tacheng will wrap the selected primeval forest in a dome, emit a shrinking ray to shrink the dome, and then transport it back to the desert for placement.
The construction of the dome is in progress against time, and the coverage is constantly expanding.
But then, the long-planned global acid rain fell relentlessly, with a downpour mixed with thunder and lightning, and raindrops beating the earth.
The zombies seemed to be attracted by some mysterious aura and walked out of the building to receive the acid rain in the open air, while those who could not get out of the room struggled to stretch out part of their bodies to absorb the nutrients from the rain.
The entire planet seems to be altered by some mysterious virus, and the size of insects, ants, earthworms, bees, ladybugs, mosquitoes, cockroaches and other insects in the trees has increased exponentially.
Flowers and trees also seem to come to life under the nourishment of rain, and rattan branches and leaves are slowly swaying.
"Boom!" Thunder roared over Morisui Castle, and everyone in the revolving restaurant heard it.
"It's raining! Go out and check it out! General Rongsheng suggested.
"Huh? Why is there only thunder and no raindrops? The senior general, sitting by the window, asked.
"Ahh Don't worry, we're under the protection of the dome now, so there's no rain here. Yan Xi knew that the dome was spreading and expanding, and the lack of rain meant that it was already under the dome.
"Oh, I'm curious what this dome looks like!" General Rong Sheng was the first to run out of the restaurant, looking up at it, with a look of joy on his face.
I saw that all the raindrops were blocked in the air for 200 meters, and I only heard the faint sound of raindrops when I stood on the ground.
"President Yan! What a masterpiece! Can this dome withstand the attack of the zombie horde? General Rongsheng asked.
"Yes, it's indestructible! It can be its own set of ecological circulation system. Living in it is like a small isolated planet. See that slowly moving artificial sun? It can provide plants with the light they need for photosynthesis. Yan Xi introduced.
"Tsk, that's great!" General Rongsheng was very envious, this dome was much better than the damp and gloomy underground shelters of the Empire.
"Didi!" Everyone's communication watch important information prompt sounds.
"Huh? Xiao Xu sent a message! "Brigitte clicked on the information to see.
"This is an analysis report on the composition of acid rain! It says that in addition to the ingredients of ordinary acid rain, there is also a mysterious virus! Mina tensed.
"What virus and what are the consequences?" Dormammu was curious.
"The report says that I don't know what kind of problem will go wrong for the time being, but it is certain that the zombies like this virus very much, and they will not move when they stand outside in the rain!" Mina continued to interpret the report.
"I think this acid rain will cause zombies to evolve faster, become stronger and have more abilities!" In her previous life, Brigitte had heard about zombies becoming more powerful after being exposed to the rain.
"Wow, isn't that all over the ground high-level mutant crystal nuclei picked up?!" Dormammu specializes in collecting mutant crystal nuclei for Brigitte.
"So to speak! But the human situation is even more dangerous! Brigitte looked worried.
Outside the revolving restaurant, Yan Xi told General Rong Sheng and others about the rainwater composition test report.
"This rain actually contains another virus?!" General Rongsheng was shocked.
"I wonder what happens when people get rained?" Yan Xi worries that humans will be infected by the new virus.
"Can you try it with a critter first?" General Rongsheng brought a flying search dog and wanted to release it out of the dome to rain.
"Don't take any chances, let's wait for Tacheng's experiment report!" Yan Xi circled.
On the iron tower on the top of the tall building near Yanya Volcano, a dried corpse tied up by five flowers raised its eyelids, and was baked by the heat wave of magma for 4 days after being tied up for 4 days, and it finally rained heavily today.
He raised his head and gulped down the rain, realizing that it contained a mysterious treasure.
He greedily enjoyed the baptism of the heavy rain, and every inch of his body absorbed the mysterious power in the rain, constantly evolving and becoming stronger.
The shriveled muscles swelled rapidly, the hole in the chest healed quickly, and the steel fishing rope tied to the body was torn by the tension of the expanding muscles.
"Heaven will not stop me! I've got a new ability! Juli Fighting! Ahahahaha! Zhu Shicong looked up to the sky and roared, and the earth trembled slightly.
He tried his best to break free from the wrist-thick line, but he couldn't.
This steel fishing line is made from hundreds of fine lines that are used to catch whales and can withstand tens of thousands of tons.
"Looks like we're going to have to stay here!" Zhu Shicong said disappointedly, but his heart was full of hope, because as long as the rain continued, the faster he evolved, the faster his ability improved, and one day he could leave the tower with his own strength.
Far away in the southern city, Yan Nu was drenched in the rain on the top floor of the mall with a group of high-level mutant zombies, and they absorbed the nutrients from the rain to continue to evolve and become stronger, and let out a low roar full of power.
The survivors looked out from the dome and saw a dense crowd of zombies in the open air, raising their heads and opening their mouths in the rain, and roaring from time to time.
"Oh my God! The light of the crystal nucleus in the brains of these zombies is getting brighter and brighter! Brigitte closed her eyes and felt it.
"They're getting stronger! And a handful of high-level mutant zombies can have multiple abilities! Yan Xi went to the inner hall to prepare to share the experiment report of Tower City with Brigitte and them.
"Isn't it!" Mina shouted in surprise.
"Not only zombies, but also mutant beasts, insects, and even a few flowers and trees that have not withered can move freely!" Yan Xi continued to tell them the contents of the report.
"All living beings are mutating! Is this to take the devouring life energy to the extreme? Dormammu suddenly thought of a question: "If all living beings in the world have crystal nuclei containing life energy, then the one who harvests the most must become the overlord who dominates everything!" ”
"That's right! The virus contained in this rain, it was created specifically for this! Yan Xi confirmed Dormammu's conjecture.
"So where does the virus in the rain come from?" Brigitte asked.
"I don't know for the time being, but it's certain that someone added it on purpose!" Yan Xi had a feeling that she was being bullied but couldn't find the culprit.
"Damn!" Dormammu banged the table in indignation.
"Alas, I wonder what will happen to ordinary humans or sea elves when they get drenched in the rain?" Mina asked helplessly, worried that the rain flowing into the sea would mutate her relatives and friends who lived under the sea.
"Survivors who have previously escaped the zombie virus in the air have a 20 percent chance of becoming Abnormal if they get drenched in the rain or drink contaminated water, and the other 80 percent will become physically strong." Yan Xi felt a little speechless, this virus was actually used to stimulate abilities.
"Huh? Isn't that a panacea! "Brigitte is a little lucky, as long as she doesn't turn into a zombie, becoming a stranger is also a way to live.
"Fortunately, humans have become stronger!" Mina let go of her heart hanging in mid-air.
"I've never heard of a virus that can also strengthen the body, there must be some other purpose!" Dormammu didn't believe the virus makers could be so kind.
"This virus will also make the battle between zombies and humans more intense!" Brigitte speaks his mind.
"Most of the land and rivers of the Earth Star have now been polluted by acid rain, and even the sea has been affected. Our top priority is to clear the land and rivers protected by the dome before turning them into a base for growing crops. Avoid famine in the future. Yan Xi proposed the next step.
"That's right! Here we go! Start with the dome closest to the fortress. Brigitte agreed.
Together, the magicians cleaned up the zombies and mutants trapped in the dome, leaving behind plants and insects that had not been attacked by the new virus.
This global acid rain has been falling for ten consecutive days, and when the rain stops, the dome of Longguo and Tacheng has been cleaned and renovated.
At this time, General Rongsheng sent someone to report to King Delie about Jasmine's assassination of Count Blackwing.
Delie was furious and smashed the large wooden table in the study.
"It's the other way around! She doesn't have me as a king in her eyes! Delie walked towards Jasmine's bedroom with a straight face.
Jasmine is dressing up in front of the magic mirror, with a beautiful face, a bumpy figure, and long black hair elegantly tied in a bun.
In the face of such a delicate beauty, as long as she is a normal man, she will have a good impression of her and feel pity.
Jasmine greeted Dere with a smile when she saw her, and walked towards him with a graceful posture.
However, Delie walked in angrily and slapped her in the face without saying a word.
Five reddened fingers were dazzling on her delicate cheeks.
"Why are you willing to hit me?" Jasmine covered her face and wept to denounce Dere.
"If I don't beat you, you won't have a long memory! Is Count Blackwing the one you can move? Well, the entire Black Wing Clan has been forced by you to join the Magic Guild! Our empire is supported by the four major families! As soon as you came, you drove away the two major families in a row! Do you still have me as a king in your eyes? "Delie is not the kind of fool who just wants a beauty and doesn't want a country.
