Through the messages sent by Manager Qian from the disciples stationed at various bases of the Doomsday Watch, we learned that when the Doomsday Rain came, only two bases in the entire Tianqi City had activated their space shielding systems, making the impact of the Doomsday Rain minimal. In addition to Tianqi Base, which is a municipal base, there is also Tianlong Base, the second largest base in Tianqi City.
This world is technologically advanced and has a high level of mastery of space technology. Long before the end of the world, this world invented space shielding technology. This technology uses energy to shield a place or even an entire city for a certain period of time. During this shielding time, it can effectively prevent natural disasters and other attacks. However, it is very limited because of its huge energy consumption.
When the end of the world came, because human beings' prediction ability had not reached a very high level, only a few cities activated the space shielding system. Although it was shielded, it could not completely put the entire city in a state of space shielding. If completely shielded, the shielding effect will be poor. If perfect shielding is used, there will be significant limitations in area. Therefore, when the apocalypse came, despite the space shielding technology, the world was still affected by the apocalyptic rain.
A complete space shielding system is very expensive, and few cities can afford it. Only the Tianqi Base in Tianqi City has a complete space shielding system. The Tianlong Base found a small space shielding system from an army base while going out to look for supplies. Although it was not a complete system, it could still be used. None of the remaining bases in Tianqi City have this system.
But this time there was a warning before the apocalyptic rain came, and a dark red color appeared in the sky for just ten seconds. And it was within this short period of ten seconds that the Weather Base and Tianlong Base activated the space shielding system at the same time.
The apocalyptic rain only lasts for about 10 seconds. Tianqi Base has a complete space shielding system, so when the apocalyptic rain arrives, it will be less affected. The Tianlong base only has a small space shielding system, so the apocalyptic rain will still have a certain impact on the base, but compared to other bases, the effect is still considerable.
After this apocalyptic rain, the entire world has entered the second apocalyptic stage. Many small bases may disappear from now on. According to Manager Qian, some small bases even have only a hundred people and are surrounded by simple walls with fences. It’s hard to protect yourself on a daily basis, let alone in the second apocalypse.
It's not that those people don't want to live in other large bases, it's just that various factors are involved and they can't just go if they want to.
The first is the problem of cars. Those small bases were all established at the beginning of the end of the world, and there are many small bases that are very far away from the medium and large bases. A car is necessary to reach those bases safely.
Although there are many idle cars in the apocalyptic wilderness, most of them have been abandoned for three years, and whether they can be started is a question. Even if it can be started, fuel is extremely precious in the apocalypse.
The technology in this world is relatively high. Some new energy sources such as electric vehicles and small magnetically controlled vehicles have appeared, but after all, they are still very few. Even before the end of the world, only a very small number of people are using them. Most people can only afford to drive ordinary fuel vehicles.
And a small base like that cannot have fuel reserves. In this way, even if you have a car, it will be difficult to move the base to those medium and large bases.
If you rely on walking, the distance between bases can be as little as ten kilometers, or as many as tens or hundreds of kilometers. Although the zombies near the highway in the wild have been almost eliminated after three years of the apocalypse, who can guarantee that there will be no accidents involving powerful zombies.
In the last days, people cherish life more than before. To put it bluntly, people are selfish. They can live in the current environment, even if life is harder and more tiring, but people always feel that it is better than risking their lives to seek status.
This is just like Lin Feng's life in his previous life. Many people living deep in the mountains or other places are not actually rich, but only a few people choose to go out and find a new life in some big cities. Most people still prefer to stay at home, because they are used to living there. They also know that life may be better outside, but it is precisely because of this possibility that their ancestors have lived there for generations.
There are also a small number of people who insist on entering those medium and large bases. But after all, it is only a small part, and most people still stay in the original base. This is why the world has entered the last three years and there are still so many small bases.
But after this apocalyptic rain, the pattern of the world is likely to change. Some very small bases may disappear from now on, and it is likely that only some medium and large bases will survive.
Although the journey was 300 kilometers, and there were many first-level zombies scattered throughout the journey, Lin Feng and his convoy arrived at the Tianlong base before dark. Because they were in a hurry, no one got out of the car to pick up Huang Jing from the first-level zombies they killed along the way. Although this is very wasteful, there is nothing we can do about it.
Tianlong Base is worthy of being one of the four major bases in Tianqi City. The city wall alone is more than twenty meters high. From a distance, it looks majestic and looks like a castle in a novel. The city wall stretches as far as the eye can see, and I don’t know how it was built. Lin Feng didn't know how much manpower and material resources such a city wall would require, but it seemed like a lot of effort must have been put into it.
Lin Feng couldn't tell whether there were defenses on the city wall. There is a deep trench similar to a moat outside the city wall, and the bottom is covered with ground spikes made of wooden piles. The moat is thirty meters wide, which can effectively prevent zombies from invading. The gate of the base is thirty meters high, several meters higher than the city walls on both sides. The gate of the base is open, and one side of the gate rests on this side of the moat, resembling an ancient suspension bridge design. Countless iron chains are tied to both sides of the gate. When in danger, the suspension bridge-style gate can be pulled up through the iron chains. The entire Tianlong base is protected by a moat, and no one or zombies can pass directly.
But when he saw the countless people in front of the Tianlong Base gate, Lin Feng couldn't help being a little shocked. He didn't expect that there were so many people waiting to enter the Tianlong Base.
