The wind in Hidden Fog Desolate Region lasted for three days and three nights.
It lasted for a total of seventy-two hours. Sand and stones flew everywhere, and the sun and moon did not shine. The strong wind containing spirit energy could easily lift construction machines weighing more than one hundred tons into the air. Then, it would use an invisible hand to crush them into scrap metal and smash them on the heads of the humans who were running away with their hands covering their heads.
After the wind, it was the rainy season.
Dragon Citizens hated and feared the rainy season the most.
The heavy rain in Monster Mountain Range and the drizzle in the city were two completely different concepts.
When a crack appeared in the sky, it was as if a flood from the other side of the universe had poured out. The downpour lasted for ten days and ten nights, and it looked like it was going to continue for another ten days and ten nights or even a year and a half. By then, the entire world had turned into a country of water.
The roads that the humans had worked hard to build were submerged by the flood and destroyed by the mudslides.
The forests that had no path to begin with became muddy, and it was difficult to move even an inch.
Regardless of whether it was wheeled armored vehicles, caterpillar armored vehicles, or bionic fighting vehicles that relied on crystal engines and runic symbols to move forward, all of them were stuck in the mud and could not move.
Even if drones could fly, they would be riddled with holes in a very short period of time because of the acidic raindrops.
As the spirit energy magnetic field environment became increasingly chaotic, the wireless network would also face severe interference, and it blocked the humans' "eyes" and "ears".
Even the Heaven Realm superhumans who could rely on maglev to stand high in the sky did not dare to rise into the air when they ran into bad weather.
Since the sky was filled with invisible spirit energy magnetic field currents, they were like fatal traps. If superhumans accidentally entered them, there was a high possibility that they would temporarily lose their maglev abilities and fall from hundreds of meters in the sky.
Hence, during the rainy season in the past, Dragon City was always on the defensive. Everyone stayed in the main city area or the forward operating bases.
Of course, the monsters' attacks were also much weaker. Even Apocalyptic Beasts were no different from humans or pests in front of the might of the world.
Hidden Fog Desolate Region had always been the place where extreme weather was the most intense in Monster Mountain Range.
When the rainy season arrived, the activity of the spirit energy magnetic field in the area increased by ten times.
Although humans could use the "Weather Disruption Bomb" to temporarily control the climate here, it was still not enough.
But as the saying went, "It's better to let it out than to block it." If they kept suppressing the rampaging spirit energy underground and did not give it an outlet to vent, it would accumulate over time, and sooner or later, something would happen.
Hence, while the strange incidents in Ancient Ruins No. 2 kept happening and superhumans started losing control of their minds, the major forces of power in Dragon City decided to work together and announce that the entire Hidden Fog Desolate Region would enter a sealed state for a month.
During this period of time, not only would they no longer suppress the rampaging spirit energy underground, they would also have to use heavy artillery to accelerate the release of the rampaging spirit energy so that the extreme weather would become even fiercer.
Such a concentrated release might allow the Hidden Fog Unique Domain to welcome a longer period of stability after the storm, which would make it easier for humans to develop and utilize it.
It could also weaken the influence of the planet's magnetic field on Ruins No. 2, thus reducing the probability of the occurrence of mysterious events.
Of course, there was another reason that could not be made public.
It was to drive away those Transcendents who had not been approved.
In such bad weather, it was impossible for the stragglers who lacked organization, equipment, skills, and fighting strength to persevere in Hidden Fog Unique Domain, which was covered in lightning, torrential rain, mountain torrents, and swamps.
Most of the superhumans retreated to the perimeter of Hidden Fog Unique Domain and went to the military bases that were built to attack the monsters' nests.
Only a handful of superhumans remained in the sinkhole at the center of Hidden Fog Unique Domain.
They were in charge of taking care of the construction machines that were too big and heavy to be moved away.
Once they were activated, they could not stop the research machines.
And the stronger the extreme weather was, the more violent the spirit energy magnetic field environment was. To some of the cultivation maniacs, it was more suitable for them to fight against the heavens and break through their limits.
Meng Chao and Lu Siya were both such cultivation maniacs.
They stayed together and cultivated in the sky where lightning roared and golden snakes danced, the mountain streams where mud flowed, the cracks that kept tearing and closing, and the forests that grew madly at a visible speed. Their burning vitality magnetic fields stimulated each other and resonated with each other as they chased after each other.
Aside from that, they also worked with the other cultivation maniacs to ensure the safety of the construction machines, research machines, and Ancient Ruins No. 2.
The water flowed downwards, and the sinkhole was nearly one thousand meters deep. As the water flowed downwards, all the water and mud in Hidden Fog Unique Domain surged into the sinkhole, creating a majestic sight of more than one hundred waterfalls on the walls at the edge of the sinkhole.
Fortunately, there were a lot of caves and underground rivers in the depths of the sinkhole. Dozens of underground rivers meandered and led to Red Dragon River and Tiger's Rage River, which were two rivers that flowed endlessly.
Hence, the bottom of the sinkhole did not show any signs of serious water accumulation or blockage. The water level at the deepest part of the sinkhole only reached a person's calf.
Even so, when Meng Chao saw waterfalls that looked like aquatic dragons charging down from all directions and creating deafening bangs when they crashed into the bottom of the sinkhole, he could hear the sound of ten thousand horses galloping down.
He could also hear the sound of ten thousand horses galloping through the underground river under his feet.
The mighty power of nature was like the will of the entire planet. It was not something that monsters could compare to, and neither was it something that humans could fight against.
Speaking of which, the long and violent rainy season was not without its benefits.
Meng Chao noticed that in the face of extreme weather that even Deity Realm superhumans had a hard time dealing with, the conflicts between humans seemed to have become much smaller.
One time, because of the collapse of an underground river, the flood had nowhere to go. A lot of mud was spurting out of the underground like a volcano eruption. Everybody worked together to build dams, relocate construction machines, and blow up the blocked river.
At that moment, it did not matter whether they were from the mega corporations or the Red Dragon Army, or whether they were from rich families or poor families, they did not care whether they upheld the fighting ideals of the Overkill Style or the Ultimate Style.
While lightning flashed, thunder roared, and water roared, everyone's minds were clear. They knew that if they could not cast aside their former enmity with the people beside them, work together, and even live and die together, all of them would die.
At this critical juncture, even the superhumans who had fought fiercely in the cafeteria could only hold each other's arms tightly and release their greatest strength in the same direction.
As the extreme weather continued, the superhumans who belonged to different interest groups had to work together again and again to save each other's lives.
After all, the raging mudslide that was like a black aquatic dragon did not care about a human's name, nor did it care about a human's background, stance, conflicts of interest, or grudges.
The fight against the extreme weather and the cultivation in the incredibly complicated spirit energy magnetic field environment used up most of the superhumans' energy, and it also dissolved most of their ruthlessness.
Gradually, the cultivation maniacs who stayed in the sinkhole looked at each other with calm gazes.
The leaders of the various factions who were in charge of Dragon City also had clear heads and sharp senses.
The series of strange events that happened in Ancient Ruins No. 2, especially the chaotic battle in the cafeteria filled with ten thousand people, and the report from the ruins research center set off alarm bells for them.
It made them realize that the situation was gradually spiraling out of control.
From that day onwards, the factions of power clearly sped up the pace of negotiations.
The mining rights of many crystal mines, the tax rates of enterprises of different sizes, the exclusive rights of various strategic fields … Many of the seemingly messy issues that had been debated for months were resolved in a quick and decisive manner in just a few days.
The various factions changed their attitudes toward Heaven and Earth Corporation's scandal and the suspension of the Land Enclosure Law.
The war of words in the news media and the Survival Committee was still as intense as ever.
But everyone came with the attitude of solving the problem. They came to ask for an exorbitant price and return the favor. They did not want to split up and flip the table.
As long as they were willing to ask for a price, even if they asked for an exorbitant price, everything could be discussed.
Soon, Meng Chao learned from Blue Home, Battle God Palace, the Red Dragon Army, and Lu Siya's various channels that all the Deity Realm superhumans in Dragon City were holding a Deity Realm Conference.
It was said that the three-day Deity Realm Conference would completely solve the problem of how to divide the monster civilization's legacies. It would also set the foundation for Dragon City's future development and create a road map.
Regardless of whether the road map was correct or not, at the very least, with the guidance of the road map, the disputes in Dragon City would come to an end. Everyone would be united again, and they would be united.
This news caused Meng Chao to sigh in relief.
On the last day of the Deity Realm Conference, the closing ceremony would be held along with a grand victory parade.
It would then announce to the tens of millions of citizens that Dragon City had won the Monster War and obtained the most glorious victory!
Before this, even though they had conquered the monsters' nests and killed the mother's life force, there were still some defeated soldiers hiding in Monster Mountain Range.
But there were still some defeated soldiers hiding in Monster Mountain Range that threatened the safety of the explorers.
Regardless of whether it was the Red Dragon Army or the elite squads under the mega corporations, they had to carry out a lot of military missions. The flames of war were still raging around Dragon City, and the majority of citizens were puzzled as to whether the monster civilization would make a comeback.
At that moment, even though the sky above Dragon City was still raging, the dawn of victory was brewing in the horizon, and every citizen could see it clearly.
It was time to announce the good news of victory to the transmigrators from Earth who had fought for a full half a century!
Aside from boosting their morale, the official announcement of victory also meant that Dragon City would change from a wartime economy.
Even though there was a possibility that a new war would break out as they marched into the depths of the Other World, they would be expanding their territory.
But that was to expand their territory, and not to turtle up and defend.
A new economy meant new jobs, new resources, and new opportunities. Everything was possible.
Everyone rubbed their palms and craned their necks in anticipation.
