Just as the city was being built in full swing, Chen Feng's new order undoubtedly became the focus of everyone's attention.
Build a ditch.
Chen Feng wanted to build a huge ditch around the city.
The rainstorm was just the beginning. Global warming was the main culprit of this natural disaster. In just a few months, the sea level rose by almost ten meters.
What did this mean?
The rise of sea level had a significant impact on the economy, natural environment, and ecosystem of coastal areas.
First of all, the rise of sea level could flood some low-lying coastal areas. The enhanced marine dynamic factor would push towards the beach and erode the coast, thus turning "mulberry fields" into "blue seas". Secondly, the rise of sea level would intensify the intensity and frequency of storm surges. It was self-evident that the threat to the lives of people in coastal areas was serious.
Although they did not understand why Chen Feng had issued such an order, they knew that Chen Feng had absolute control over the city. As such, they stopped what they were doing and started working on the construction of the dam and the ditches.
The work began.
If such a project relied on ordinary people to dig, it would take at least three years, and countless equipment and tools would be used. However, in this world, there were professionals. Some of the earth elementalists could dig out dozens of tons of ordinary soil in a day's work. Humans and aborigines only did some finishing work. In just three days, a drainage system running through the city had been roughly completed.
The drainage ditch was actually a very simple matter. As long as it was distributed reasonably, dug deep and handled well, there would be no problem.
However, in the post-apocalyptic world, very few people cared about such a simple point.
In that chaotic era, everyone lived a precarious life. Instead of wasting time building these useless ditches, it was better to organize the forces and go out to the wild to catch more food.
Everything had a cause and effect.
Of course, when the natural disaster came, the drainage system had been neglected for a long time and had long been abandoned. This led to many residents' houses being washed away. Even the precious food was swallowed by the water source in the flood.
…
Half a month later.
Just as the drainage system was about to be completed, a rainstorm hit the city. Each drop was the size of a thumb. It poured down from the sky like a waterfall. It was terrifying to the extreme.
The drainage system came into play.
Because it was connected to the river in the city, most of the excess water was drained into the river along the ditch.
People always thought that the rain would stop soon. However, one day passed, two days passed, and until the third day, people's expressions became a little panicked.
This heavy rain had lasted for three days. In these few days, the river in the city was about to overflow. Some low-lying areas had been filled up and formed a lake.
Chen Feng's power of faith was skyrocketing.
After a short moment of surprise, they were sincerely grateful to Chen Feng. If it wasn't for his preparation, after the Zerg Tide, Order would face a new crisis again..
But now …
Although there were signs of collapse in many places, it was much better than the previous situation. At the very least, people had the opportunity to prepare and evacuate.
A few days passed..
The sun.
The heavy rain that lasted for a week finally stopped.
Chen Feng stood on a high ground and looked at the scenery in front of him. A large number of houses were flooded. From time to time, he saw some insects rolling in the water. These insects were flat. They used to hide in the soil and sleep. But now, the flood had flooded their homes and forced them to the surface.
Because they were not aggressive, some ordinary people would even pick them up and make them into meat.
What?
These insects were white and looked like maggots. It was a little disgusting to look at.
This was the end of the world.
Not to mention insects, when they were extremely hungry, some people would even eat grass roots and tree barks to fill their stomachs.
In history, every time there was a famine, a large number of people starved to death. Did they not know to eat grass roots and bark? Ah, that was because grass roots and bark could only relieve hunger for a short period of time. If they ate grass roots and bark all year round, they would still die. Not to mention, there were as many as seven hundred thousand people in the escape team. It would be strange if there was enough grass roots and bark to eat along the way!
This was especially true for the girls. They were spoiled since childhood and lacked tempering. Their digestive system was far inferior to men's. Making them eat grass roots and tree bark was simply asking for their lives. Some people ate poisonous mushrooms when they were starving. As a result, their stomachs swelled to the size of three watermelons. They screamed and wailed for a long time before their intestines and stomachs were torn apart …
In this case, although the worms were a little fat and ugly, they could provide the protein and nutrition that people needed after they were cooked. Therefore, they were very popular.
Chen Feng stood at the side and watched all of this without stopping them. There were many of these insects. If they organized a force to salvage them, there would be at least a thousand pounds.
However, with Chen Feng's current status, the experimental field of Stop's Gate was the main target of protection. Because the drainage was good, only a small area was washed away by the rain. The rest of the land, under the stimulation of energy, could obtain more than ten thousand pounds of food every week. The hunting in the wild continued. The members of the Exploration Department could also bring back a thousand pounds of meat every day. Although there were many insects, they were still not enough to enter Chen Feng's eyes.
Suddenly, Chen Feng heard the sound of rapid splashing coming from the river not far away. He raised his head abruptly and said with a solemn expression, "Don't worry.
"Giant fish!"
Along with the wanton energy, the fishes in the lake had also mutated. Some of the fishes had even mutated into Silver-tier. In the river, ordinary powerhouses could not do anything to them. In the past, because of Li Siqi, these big fishes had been hiding at the bottom of the lake and did not do anything excessive.
But now, because the water level had skyrocketed in the past few days, and some survivors were salvaging nearby, disturbing the monster's sleep, it was directly angry.
This was a loach.
It was originally a delicacy on the human dining table, but now it had become a ten-meter-long behemoth with glowing triangular eyes. Its mouth was extremely huge, and its mouth was covered with layers of ring-shaped sharp teeth. Many sword-like limbs extended from its body. It looked like a living centipede in the water!
Furthermore, with the mutation, it had a new name.
Earth Dragon!
"Oh? This loach has already reached silver-rank. I didn't expect there to be such a powerful creature in the river. Now, the water level has skyrocketed, and the environment has strengthened again. Perhaps it won't be long before it reaches the peak of silver-rank! "
Chen Feng shouted and faced it solemnly. A normal loach might not have any outstanding points, but this mutated life form had unfathomable strength in the water. Not only did it have an astonishing defense and a huge body, but it was also able to control the water flow and release a rather powerful water energy.
