Xu Qian paused, put down her chopsticks after finishing the last bite of noodles.
"Did they say what kind of natural disaster it was?"
Guan Weiyun shook his head. "There's no concrete evidence, it was just determined based on the sky and wind speed."
Xu Qian leaned back in her chair, her eyes narrowing slightly.
Three and a half years into the apocalypse, what natural disaster could Hope Base possibly face?
She remembered... there wasn't anything like that, was there?
Suddenly, "Patter patter patter————"
The sound of heavy rain came from outside, very suddenly.
Xu Qian frowned and got up to open the window.
A strong, sour stench flooded her nostrils. Xu Qian coughed lightly, covering her mouth and nose.
She focused her gaze and saw the rain hitting the ground with a sizzling sound.
It was highly corrosive.
Acid rain?
"Acid rain."
Guan Weiyun sighed. The land, already difficult to cultivate, was now even more challenging.
Acid rain had already fallen a year ago.
That acid rain had changed the soil, and nothing could be grown on any land.
Fortunately, Hope Base was entirely made of brick houses. As long as they stayed inside and didn't come out, the acid rain would stop on its own.
"Let's go, we should head back."
Xu Qian raised an eyebrow and asked, "Don't we need to deal with it?"
Guan Weiyun's brows furrowed, and he shook his head. "There's no way to deal with it."
No wonder she had no impression of it in her past life. She only remembered the base issuing an order for everyone to stay indoors, but she had forgotten the specific reason.
"Bang, crash, clatter—"
"Clang—"
Suddenly, glass shattered all over the floor, and a fierce gust of wind swirled towards them.
Both of them were people with strong abilities; no matter how strong the wind was, they quickly stabilized themselves.
Xu Qian gripped the stone pillar beside her and said coldly, "Acid rain and a tornado."
Truly, quite devastating.
The acid rain was blown into the villa by the wind, and the floor sizzled as it was corroded.
Guan Weiyun's expression changed slightly, and he instructed, "Don't move, I'll let Xiao Hei in."
Xu Qian was quite surprised that he was still thinking about Xiao Hei at a time like this.
The leopard den was integrated with the house. As long as the inner door was opened, Xiao Hei could crawl in from there.
After the black panther came in, Guan Weiyun immediately pressed the smart control button on the wall, and the entire villa plunged into darkness.
There was no sound of wind, no sound of rain.
It was sealed up tight.
Guan Weiyun fumbled his way to the computer in the dark, quickly conveyed instructions for the situation, and then finally relaxed.
Hope Base had an air-raid shelter every ten meters, where people could take shelter.
With too many natural disasters, they absolutely could not just wait for death.
"Boss Guan?"
Guan Weiyun started, remembering that his wife was still leaning against the wall.
Xu Qian turned on her flashlight and shone it inside.
The living room was in ruins, and the neatly arranged decorations had been blown onto the floor.
【Ding, a mandatory sub-quest has been activated. Please assist the bases in G Province in escaping danger. Reward: 10,000 points.】
【Ding, thirty buses and anti-corrosion umbrellas have been stored in the space. These vehicles are windproof and rainproof. The heat-insulating vehicles have been upgraded to be heat-insulating, cold-insulating, windproof, and rainproof. Host can use them with confidence.】
Xu Qian: ...Another sub-quest?
【How long will the natural disaster last?】
【Ding, approximately one week.】
【I remember there wasn't a tornado in my previous life, why is it so severe this time?】
Acid rain + tornado, are they not going to let anyone live?
【Ding, the ecosystem has been disrupted, and natural disasters will naturally increase. Moreover, due to the host's presence, the timeline has been accelerated.】
【What do you mean?】
The system did not respond further.
Xu Qian calmed her mind and walked further inside. Guan Weiyun also walked towards her.
"Weiyun, I need to go out for a bit."
Guan Weiyun froze. Going out in this weather was simply courting death.
Xu Qian was not an impulsive person; she must have her reasons for doing this.
