Chapter 247: The Great Calamity - Hot Natural Disaster 4

Early August.

As Kayana, who came to the Hope Territory as a guest, returned to the seabed, the outdoor temperature on land had soared to 50C.

This is already a really hot temperature.

Water levels in rivers and lakes dropped further, some water-starved fields began to dry up and crack, and a silent panic began to spread around the world.

People are panicking and suppressing their emotions in a desperate situation, just like a balloon that is constantly inflating and expanding, until a certain critical point, the occurrence of turmoil has become inevitable in accidents.

——The lords and nobles of a small town-level territory under the capital of Sayinga were killed by the rioting territorial people!

This piece of news flew around the world like wings.

Even the remote Hope Territory has received relevant rumours.

Gu Mi's news channel came from the Harmony Firm. When she heard the news, she seemed very calm, as if she had expected it long ago.

"No matter what others do, we just need to take care of ourselves."

Along with the high temperature, the drought gradually appeared. The water level of the rivers and lakes in their territory had almost bottomed out, and the grain in the fields was also wilting. , it is still very sparse, I think the harvest result this time will not be very gratifying.

In addition, due to the high temperature, the daily life of the residents has also been greatly affected.

For example, people are prone to lack of water and heat, and for example, the scores of scalds and sunburns have surged recently...

Now the medical system in the territory is already overloaded, and if it goes on like this, if the territory cannot come up with an effective solution, the collapse of the medical system is a matter of time.

After all, machines can run 24 hours a day, but people can't.

"The trees around our territory are showing signs of withering." The old village chief reported with a heavy expression.

"The water resources in the territory are greatly reduced. If it continues like this, we will have to use the previously stored water resources." Zhang Rong said solemnly.

"The health of the territorial residents is very bad. The high temperature caused not only the physical health problems of most of the territorial residents, but also psychological problems. Now the weather is hot, and everyone's temper is also irritable, and it is easy to conflict with each other. Now the law enforcement agencies are all catching people everywhere, and the detention center in our territory is almost too full." Cheng Ke frowned.

...

Listening to everyone's speeches one by one, reporting on the problems and chaos in the territory recently caused by the occurrence of this hot natural disaster, Gu Mi's face showed an unprecedented coldness.

After listening to everyone's report, she immediately issued one order after another.

"You don't need to worry about the withering of trees outside the territory. It is good to ensure that the trees inside the territory are safe enough, especially for large trees with tree houses. Arrange people to water them regularly to prevent the trees from dying and affecting the houses built on them. "

If there are not enough water resources, the water stored before is released. It is necessary to ensure that the daily drinking water of the colonists and the irrigation water between the fields are sufficient. I don't know how long this disaster will last. We people have to live, and food cannot be lacking." "

If there are not enough detention centres, open prisons, and in troubled times, use heavy codes. I don't need to teach you this principle. Anyone who dares to make trouble and cause chaos in the territory will come in for me!"

"In addition, let the eighth and ninth legions join the law enforcement department temporarily, Help manage and maintain law and order within the territory."

...

As Gu Mi's orders were executed by his subordinates, there was still a faint sign of chaos in the Hope Territory.

But Gu Mi knew that the impact of this natural disaster on everyone had not been eliminated.

Fortunately, not long after, the beast tide broke out.

During the disaster, even the monsters may have been affected by the high temperature, and they have become a lot more irritable than before.

The way they attacked the territory was like falling into berserk mode, and it was a desperate and frantic rush forward.

If it were normal, there might be some people in the territory who would be frightened by this battle, but now, under the shroud of this ghostly weather, let alone demon beasts, even people have become extraordinarily irritable.

Therefore, this battle has completely become a vent for both sides.

Are you grumpy?

So I'm more irritable than you?

Everyone has a violent temper, and whoever is afraid of whoever does it will be done!

This beast tide and the aftermath of the beast tide lasted for a week in total. During this week, an unspeakable stench mixed with burnt odor wafted inside and outside the entire territory, so much so that people had to wear them on their daily trips. Masks, otherwise it will be difficult to breathe at all.

Because the weather is too hot, whether it is a demon beast or a human, the dead body will quickly rot and deteriorate, and the smell is enough to make people vomit.

When he found the first rotting corpse, Gu Mi realised something was wrong.

She immediately ordered people not to clean the battlefield, and directly controlled the Thunder Turret to blast a large pit with the longest range outside the territory, and then ordered people to transport all the corpses into the large pit for collective burning.

I would rather not have the spoils, and I have to deal with these rapidly decaying corpses as soon as possible.

It can be said that as long as this beast tide lasted, the fire in the pit burned for as long.

The billowing black fog almost shrouded this large area of the sky, and it took a long time to dissipate.

This is not the end. While disposing of the corpse, Gu Mi also urgently asked the pharmacists in the whole territory to stop all the work at hand, and instead prepared all the disinfectants with the same effect as disinfectant, and put them in the In the spraying pot, people are sprayed back and forth in and out of the territory for disinfection three times a day.

Facts have proved that Gu Mi's emergency treatment is effective.

Because not long after this beast tide, they heard that there were many territories outside where epidemics broke out after experiencing the beast tide.

The cause of the epidemic is that the corpses that have not been treated in time have rotted and grown a large number of bacteria and viruses, and have been infected by various means of transmission to people of all races.

The natural disaster has not yet passed, and the epidemic is raging everywhere.

This undoubtedly aggravated the difficulty of people's survival, and many territories were destroyed and disappeared from the world.

The world outside is already like a giant ship that is struggling to navigate through countless storms and torrential rains. With the merciless beating of the giant waves one by one, they have reached a precarious situation.

Many people on the boat who could not hold on to it were tossed down and sank into the bottomless seabed. Those who can still hold on to the boat are also struggling to support, and they are constantly praying in their hearts that the wind, waves and heavy rain will stop one day.

Unfortunately, the gods could not hear their prayers.

Early September.

The outside temperature rose to 53C.

An extremely frightening number.

I hope that the rivers and lakes in the territory have completely dried up, and even the salt lake can only see a shallow bottom.

One day, a resident of the territory found that the rivers and lakes in the territory were dry, and he was stunned in place. The next moment, he suddenly bursts into a scream of extreme fear, and then burst into tears. Shouting, while running towards the center of the city.

"Lord Lord, Lord Lord, the water is gone, the water is gone, the river is dry, there is no water in the lake, Lord Lord!

" Citizens' attention.

When someone heard his words, they immediately ran to the nearby river or lake to check. When they found that there was really no water in the riverbed and the bottom of the lake, and even the silt inside began to dry and cracked, they were hit. There are many more people who have been emotionally broken down.

More people joined the man who started running.

By the time they arrived in the city center, a large group of people had gathered, blocking the gates of the entire city center.

Everyone's faces were full of fear, despair, confusion, or bewilderment, but without exception, they all ran to find the person they admired the most.

At this moment, almost everyone thought that only she could save them from a desperate situation.

With such a big movement outside, Gu Mi naturally would not have been unaware.

Instead of going down with a teleport, she summoned Niya and descended from the sky aboard the giant griffin leader.

In an instant, the originally noisy crowd was attracted to her, and everyone quieted down for a while.

Taking this opportunity, Gu Mi waved her hand and used a skill "Rain Rain (Orange)" that she randomly acquired from the previous beast swarm.

The pattering rain fell from the sky, bringing water to people and at the same time bringing a touch of coolness to them in this extremely high temperature weather. Everyone's originally restless hearts calmed down, and their senses gradually recovered.

Seeing this, Gu Mi used his phonetic skills to expand his voice.

"Don't panic, everyone, the territory has long anticipated this situation, and has carried out a lot of water storage work before this, even if the rivers and lakes have dried up, but please believe that your daily water will never be short of water, just Now is an extraordinary period, I hope everyone can save water, as long as we can save one more drop of water, then we can all hope to have one more drop of water..."

The words of reassurance and reassurance calmed the emotions of the residents very well. , Everyone dispersed slowly under the persuasion of the Lord. After returning home, they turned on the faucet and found that the water was still flowing normally. Only then did they know that the Lord did not deceive them, and they were completely relieved.

However, like the Hope Territory, because of sufficient preparations in the early stage, there are still a few territories that can quickly resolve the outbreak of panic among the territorial residents.

As far as the recent information from the Harmony Trading Company, Gu Mi has learnt that there are no less than a hundred territories that have erupted in various turmoil due to the lack of water resources.

Some territories were severely damaged because of this, and some territories were directly destroyed because of this.

It can be said that all over the world are crying.

Whether it is the aborigines or the survivors, they all seem to be living in a fiery purgatory, enduring the burning of high temperature all the time, the threat of lack of water and food, not to mention the existence of various dangers such as demon beasts.

So almost every minute and every second, a large number of creatures in this world die because of this disaster, and people are just one of them.

One day, Gu Mi received a unilateral summons.

"Heavenly Territory: Lord Gu, does your territory have water storage? Can you sell some of the water resources to us? We are willing to pay a high price for it."

Gu Mi, who wanted to ignore this message, was on the other side. The next message paused. " Heavenly

Territory: I heard that there is a spring that can produce water permanently in the rich and powerful territory. You found it for them. I don't know. Do you hope that the territory also has such a spring?

"

Unexplainedly, he lifted up his chubby little body that was condensed into a mass of water, and a pair of big, clear eyes stared at its owner, revealing concern.

"It's alright." Gu Mi raised his hand and rubbed the round head of the water polo, and comforted it softly, ignoring another sentence sent by the heavenly domain.

"We also heard that your territory has sold a lot of water-based skill scrolls with a lot of water resources in private through the Harmony Firm. We were very curious. You have sold so much water, and your own water is enough. eh?"

Ignore it.

Anyway, the two pieces of long-distance communication she took out later were used to establish contact with the mercenary land, and the other was used to establish contact with the democratic territory. There was simply no extra to reply to the paradise territory.

However, the Paradise Territory seemed to have anticipated this situation for a long time. They quickly sent a piece of long-distance communication to the Hope Territory for free through a unilateral transaction.

Gu Mi naturally understood what this meant.

Other people's things naturally have to be used for others. She opened a long-distance communication with the heavenly territory, but she did not answer the other party's words, and only responded with a business attitude: "If you want to buy water, please buy it through formal channels. Water resources will only be supplied to the residents of the territory and not sold to the outside world."

As for the water that the Harmony Firm sells outside, what does that have to do with the territory they want?

People just buy water from the territory normally as a territorial citizen, but maybe they want to make more money, so they sell the purchased water to the outside world to earn a small price difference. I hope that the official territory does not sell water to the outside world.

What Gu Mi said was the truth.

"Heavenly Territory: Aren't you afraid that we will announce to the world that both your territory and the rich and powerful territories have springs with unlimited water? We have a world-wide loudspeaker. By then, both of your territories will become the target of public criticism in the world, right? "

Hope Territory: We also have loudspeakers around the world."

Fake news, who wouldn't?

Heavenly Territory was quiet, and he didn't know if he was angry or knew that Gu Mi couldn't make sense here, so he could only give up.

In fact, if they came to buy water with a good voice, Gu Mi would not have such an attitude, but who told them that they were already bad, and their attitude was so high, and they were even more coercive and enticing.

Makes people look at it and don't care.

And don't think that Gu Mi doesn't know, the Paradise Territory is also one of the territories that plan ahead and store a lot of water in advance.

They are still selling water at high prices abroad, making disaster money.

This time, I came here to buy water from Hope Territory. It's hard to say whether I want to be a second-order dealer to earn the difference, and Hope Territory won't be the one to take advantage of.

Their territory sells water to the outside world through the Harmony Commercial Bank. The original intention is to let more people survive this disaster. The water price set is slightly more expensive than usual, but it is basically a level that every household can afford.

It's not that they don't want to send water for free.

But if water is provided for free, it will be too eye-catching, it will cause endless contradictions, and even bring devastating disasters to their territory.

The premise of Gu Mi's willingness to help others is to ensure the safety of her own territory first. Once something threatens the security of their territory, even if it violates her conscience and principles, she will obliterate it and show no mercy.

Because before she was Gu Mi, she still wanted to be the lord of the territory.
