Chapter 955 Drowning
After seeing Xuan Xi off, Jiang You finally calmed down and walked around Tingfeng City.
The hundred thousand mountains that merged with the abyss were a mixture of black and weirdness, like a grotesque extension twisted in the smoke.
No one knows whether something terrible will rush out from it in the next second.
The huge ancient trees growing between the buildings and temples of Tingfeng City and the mosses growing on the walls almost completely obscured their original appearance.
Wu Liang is leading a construction team to carry out emergency repairs.
I have to say that Wu Liang is indeed a very talented designer. Under her careful design, the small plants were uprooted.
The large ancient trees were directly transformed into tree houses. Looking around, the tallest tree house is even more than ten stories high.
These wooden houses are based on giant trees, and each one is cleverly designed with different styles.
The original orc tribe was broken by several giant trees that were hundreds of meters high. Wu Liang simply gave up on building on the ground and directly used those trees as fulcrums to build a huge aerial village.
These villages are currently less than half a meter above the ground, but according to Wu Liang, as the trees grow, the distance between these villages and the ground will become longer and longer, and she will then add floors in the middle.
The construction team members were like worker ants, busy and orderly repairing the city under the command of Wu Liang.
In just a few days, the migration and repair work was completed.
When Jiang You went there, the huge aerial nest of the orcs had been built, with layers of irregular tree houses exquisitely staggered together, and each house was built according to the different habits of the orcs.
Aman, they like the shade, so they are at the bottom.
The Leopard Head occupies the most sunlit house. The Bird Girl likes high places, so her house is at the top. There is also a medium-sized wooden terrace outside the house. She can take off directly from the terrace or land on it.
On several giant trees that are hundreds of meters high, scattered houses are connected to each other, giving it a sense of wonder.
The Longshan Tribe was envious of the newly built Orc Tribe.
Wu Liang collected those faintly glowing plants and distributed them in the green belts. The colorful little mushrooms, the fluorescent mimosa that curled up when touched, and other plants that looked weird and strange because of the integration of other animal DNA, were all utilized to the greatest extent possible thanks to Wu Liang's ingenuity.
Moreover, these plants from the abyss have taken the old woman's medical skills to a new level.
Everyone in Tingfeng City was working hard to repair this new city.
Jiang You walked quietly through it, and actually felt as if time was passing.
Yan Chi walked quietly behind her. No one spoke. They just walked quietly through the streets, big and small.
He was like a shadow, falling behind her.
For some reason, Yan Chi had an incredible thought. Jiang You seemed to be saying goodbye to the city they built with their own hands.
But this is her territory, doesn't she want it here anymore?
Where is she going?
Yan Chi really wanted to ask if he was overthinking.
He wanted to get a positive answer from Jiang You, telling him that she would stay here forever.
But he didn't say anything, because he felt that his guess was absurd.
On the other hand, he knew the person in front of him well enough. If she had really made up her mind about something, no one could make her change her mind.
But at least, if she leaves, she will call me.
He would love to say that he could go anywhere.
But after Jiang You turned around, he swallowed all his worries.
Jiang You stopped at the door of Chen's Wine Shop.
The stunningly beautiful proprietress Jiu Yue died during the sacrifice. Gu Mingshi's bones were burned by Suzaku and taken away together with Jiu Yue's ashes.
In the past, there were always a few mountain people sitting in groups of three or four on the steps outside Chenji Liquor Shop, drinking bulk liquor and laughing.
But now, the door is closed, and the sign of Chen’s Liquor Shop is still hanging on it, but it is covered with dust.
Jiang You stood at the door for a minute, then turned and left.
……
Time passes day by day.
It's still raining.
The water level under Longshan Mountain is getting higher and higher.
All the wild animals that could escape from the mountains ran away. Even the snakes in the snake cave and the black bear family had no idea where they had migrated to.
It’s the group of wild monkeys in the Wild Monkey Valley. The Wild Monkey Valley is not flooded, and the monkeys have been thinking about going up the mountain recently.
They hollowed out tree trunks and made small boats, which they would always wander around Longshan, launching surprise attacks whenever they tried, then being beaten half to death and thrown into the water, only to continue their surprise attacks when they recovered.
In the end, the Monkey King somehow made a friendly treaty with Xu Rizhao.
A group of wood-related mutants from the construction team led by Wu Liang helped to plant several saplings on the cliff.
While the saplings were growing, he used his supernatural powers to guide the growth direction of the trees, and managed to "grow" a unique cliff village on the cliff.
From a distance, it looks like just a large tangled mass of trees with lush leaves, but when you get closer you’ll find that it’s filled with monkeys.
Especially the Monkey King, since he had many interactions with Xu Rizhao, he actually developed the bad habit of smoking.
Especially the tobacco balls made of rat droppings are its favorite.
It is said that this kind of tobacco ball is pooped by rats specially raised in Tingfeng City. This kind of rats only eat specific medicinal herbs and tobacco. The rat feces are dry, and after a little drying, they become tobacco balls with a unique flavor.
Before the end of the world, cat poop coffee became popular all over the world.
After the apocalypse, Rat brand cigarettes became popular.
Xu Rizhao signed an agreement with the Monkey King, whereby the monkeys lived on the cliffs of Long Mountain and kept out of each other's way.
But you can regularly exchange some things for these tobacco balls in the Windy City.
In this way, the monkeys settled down on the cliffs of Long Mountain.
As the water level rose day by day, the monkeys not only learned how to row boats, but also learned how to fish and catch fish.
The only difference is that what they are fishing for are not ordinary fish, but mutated aquatic creatures.
A water turtle as big as a palm leaf fan, a carp covered with tentacles, a weird-looking turtle, all of them are high in protein...
But if a young monkey runs into the water for fun, it will almost never come back and will be eaten by the water creatures in the blink of an eye.
The nematodes in the water grew bigger than pythons. Their mouths, which used to only eat seaweed, were now covered with spiral fangs that could kill a pig with one bite.
There is also a kind of green fish that can imitate various sounds, and sometimes it will even imitate human voices to trick people into going into the water.
The water surface quietly swallowed up more and more land, mountains, and vegetation.
People live every day peacefully.
The sun and the moon still hung quietly on both sides of the sky.
It has been a long time since I last saw the night.
No one was screaming at the top of their lungs, no one was crying out in despair, everyone in Tingfeng City was extremely calm.
If it is a visible enemy, they can resist.
But this was a natural disaster, and they couldn't stop the black rain from falling.
There is no way to stop the water level from rising.
Human power is as small as an ant in front of nature.
After deep despair, they will feel calm, because they know they can't do anything but build the boat and live every day well...
But this peace did not last long.
Soon, more terrifying monsters began to appear in the water.
Those monsters that originally only crawled out of the cracks in the ground somehow adapted to the water, began to appear during the day, and learned to swim.
Being able to travel through water means that their freedom is no longer restricted.
In the past, these monsters could only live on land.
Many bases have dug moats to prevent these monsters.
But now, after evolution, they are not afraid of water anymore!
These monsters swam silently across the moat and climbed up the defensive walls...
