The dark age of mankind is coming

Chapter 279 Rising Sea Levels

As time went by, the temperature continued to rise and the air seemed to solidify, making people feel suffocating and unbearable heat.

Sweat soaked people's clothes, forming dark marks, but no one stopped working. Everyone persevered in pushing forward their tasks.

They know very well that only by making greater efforts can they survive the impending disaster.

Each person's strength is insignificant, but when everyone works together, they can gather into a powerful force to overcome all difficulties.

During this difficult time, Hope Base has demonstrated unprecedented unity and tenacity.

……

The days passed one by one, and in a blink of an eye, the maximum temperature of the day had soared to over 40 degrees.

Although the rate of temperature rise has slowed slightly, there is no sign of it stopping.

At the beach, a man, a dog and a flower stood quietly on the towering rocks by the sea, gazing at the deep ocean beneath their feet.

"Master, the sea level has risen again." Anzi said in a firm tone.

The golden beach on the seashore has now been completely swallowed up by the sea and become part of the ocean.

"Will we leave here?" Ever since being accidentally bought home by An Ning, Xiaohua has been living in the Hope Base and has long regarded it as its home. Thinking about leaving there soon, Xiaohua felt reluctant.

"It's possible." Although An Ning said she was uncertain, she was actually almost certain in her heart.

The Blue Planet has entered an extremely hot period. What does this mean? It means that global temperatures will continue to rise and sea levels will inevitably rise.

If the extreme hot period is long and lasts for a long time, not only their base might be flooded, but even the prosperous city of Rongcheng might become a vast ocean.

What's worse, the entire blue planet may become a mercury, because the amount of water stored in the glaciers at the North and South Poles is so huge that once they melt, the consequences will be unimaginable.

"Let's go back to the base." An Ning's face was solemn. She stepped on the Sword of the Queen Mother of the West and flew up on the sword.

The sea breeze whistled through her hair, and her eyes were determined. How could she be willing to leave here?

This place used to be her home and held so many memories and emotions.

But facing the impending disaster, she must make a choice for survival and for the future.

Xiaohua squatted on the head of Anzi who had spread his wings, and they left the beach together and headed towards the base.

Ever since the extremely hot speculation came out, in order to understand the sea level situation, the base arranges flying psychics to patrol the seaside every day.

They need to keep an eye on changes in sea levels and whether there are other abnormal conditions.

Although An Ning was not a person with flying abilities, he was already able to skillfully fly with a sword, so he naturally took on this task.

Especially when the temperature reaches 40 degrees, he would take Anzi and Xiaohua to the beach every other day to observe the changes in sea level. He would also collect some unused boats parked on the beach.

An Ning soared in the air, his sword sweeping over the increasingly ruined city, and soon the brightly lit base came into view.

During this period, all personnel of the base were mobilized. The flood embankment built based on the defense wall outside the base has been gradually completed, and boats and life-saving equipment are also ready.

An Ning controlled the flying sword and slowly landed above the base.

She leaped lightly and landed on the ground as gracefully as a graceful bird.

At the same time, Anzi also landed at the same time. He folded his broad wings and followed An Ning closely with Xiaohua, as if they were loyal guardians.

An Ning walked towards the command room in the center of the base. It was also a busy scene with people coming in and out, discussing the latest developments and plans.

An Ning walked through the crowd and went inside.

When people saw her come in, they looked at her with respect and greeted her warmly.

"Search!"

"Hello, Captain An!"

An Ning nodded in response, then turned to look at the big screen on the podium.

The screen displays real-time surveillance footage around the base, including every corner and important areas.

Since the number of personnel at the base has continued to increase and various talents have joined, the Hope Base, which has sufficient material and energy support, has re-spread monitoring equipment to every corner around the base, forming a double defense of people and electronic machines.

"What's going on today?"

A team member reported: "Captain An, a wave of zombies attacked the base this morning, but we have successfully repelled them without causing any casualties."

Since the temperature has risen, the zombies frozen in the ice have popped up like mushrooms after a rain as the ice and snow melt.

An Ning nodded slightly to show that he understood, then continued to look at the big screen, pointed to a spot on it and said, "This is our weak link in defense. If the zombies break through here, the consequences will be disastrous. We must strengthen the defense in this area and set up more traps and obstacles. We can't take it lightly."

"Yes!" the team members responded in unison and took quick action.

At this moment, a team member hurried into the command room with an anxious look on his face, "Captain An, it's bad. A large number of mutant beasts have appeared in the north, and they are approaching the base."

An Ning's face darkened, he turned and walked to the control console, quickly retrieving images of the north side of the base.

The screen showed a large black group of mutant beasts rushing towards the base.

"Send out drone reconnaissance to find out the specific situation of the mutant beasts! Notify all combatants to enter combat readiness!" An Ning ordered.

The command room suddenly became busy, with various commands and communications coming one after another.

Soon, the data sent back by the drone showed that this group of mutant beasts was not only large in number but also diverse in species, including some powerful individuals with special abilities.

An Ning pondered for a moment and made a decisive decision: "Immediately mobilize all heavy weapons and prepare to launch a full-scale attack on the mutant beasts! At the same time, quickly organize a rescue team and be ready to provide support at any time!" Her voice was full of majesty, making everyone present feel a sense of urgency.

The entire base was plunged into a tense atmosphere, and people were busy and orderly engaged in battle preparations.

The door of the armory was opened and various advanced weapons and equipment were carried out; medical personnel were all in place to respond to possible treatment of the wounded; the communication system remained unobstructed to ensure timely and accurate transmission of information.

The team members were armed with live ammunition and stood on the city wall with serious expressions, closely monitoring the movements of the mutant beasts.

After An Ning quickly made a series of arrangements, she took Anzi and Xiaohua to the north city wall.
