Chapter 1890

After Lords 1-10 replied that they had received the message, Wen Wen Nengjie, who was hiding in the basement, immediately went online, "I've already checked, no one here exceeds 18%. We've stayed in the territory for two years, and regardless of whether it's good or bad, we've been eating natural food, so everyone's physical resistance has improved compared to when we were in the Safe Zone."

"That's indeed the truth." Shi Zuo followed up and asked, "Has everyone picked up the big tree branches knocked down by the hail in your territories?"

If the fallen big tree branches aren't picked up, they might very well be rolled up by the gale in a moment and smash into houses and greenhouses, directly destroying them.

Zhao Ze went online, "Picked them up, and also cut down the ones hanging on the trees that hadn't fallen."

Zhao Mu went online, "May the Divine Wolf bless us, may everyone and the greenhouses and houses in our territories safely survive the acid rain period."

Facing a natural disaster that human power cannot resist, at this time, one can only pray to the gods.

A few minutes later, the Level 17 gale, rolling with orange-level torrential rain, smashed fiercely toward the Northern First District territories. People huddled in the sturdiest shelters in their respective territories, hoping that their houses and greenhouses could safely survive this natural disaster.

The roaring sound of the gale and torrential rain drilled into the desolate village building in Territory No. 3. Xia Qing, wearing her territory's headset-style walkie-talkie on her left ear and the Ninth Center's headset-style walkie-talkie on her right ear, with the lord's walkie-talkie hanging on her left arm, shouted into her phone screen with her head down, "Plucker, Little White Fur, Little Huang Niu, don't be afraid, the gale will pass very soon. Little White Fur, call the Plucker back to the nest and have it protect the cubs with you."

In the sheep shed, the Little Huang Niu, frightened by the commotion outside, mooed loudly, and after hearing Xia Qing's voice, its cry became even louder.

Little White Fur, hiding in the grass nest, poked out its snow-white little head, barked twice at the Plucker weasel that was jumping around, and called it into the grass nest.

Xia Qing, seeing this scene through the camera, let out a heavy sigh of relief and switched the camera to check the situation on the farmland side.

The windbreak net hung on the wooden stakes was bulging northward under the gale. The greenhouse on the north side of the windbreak net showed no obvious deformation, and the acid grass growing around the greenhouse was not tilted northward to a significant degree, and the wave patterns formed were not as obvious as the acid grass on the south side of the windbreak net.

Xia Qing's tense nerves relaxed a bit. Judging from this situation, even if the wind speed were two levels higher, this net woven from vines and tough grass would be able to protect the greenhouses and conservatories.

The yield of the two types of toughest acid grass in the territory certainly couldn't meet the needs of the lords and the Ninth Center for weaving windbreak nets. After the acid rain ends, they can organize personnel in the territory to go outside the iron mesh wall to clear the acid grass around the territory.

Pulling as much as each territory needs is a good thing that kills two birds with one stone.

This kind of windbreak net can be promoted to other bases. If the vines and acid grass in their areas don't meet the requirements for weaving windbreak nets, the Northern First District can harvest the high-toughness acid grass in the surrounding evolved forests and sell it externally...

"Everyone, a post for hanging windbreak nets in Territory No. 26 has snapped, destroying a greenhouse. No casualties have been reported."

The disaster report issued by Tang Huai on the lord's walkie-talkie interrupted Xia Qing's train of thought.

Wen Wen Nengjie, hiding in the basement, asked, "Twenty-six?"

Zhao Ze, who was leading the team to clear the newly built territory, immediately pressed the walkie-talkie button, "It's definitely not waste in the construction area. I can't guarantee the other areas."

It had nothing to do with Zhao Ze if waste in other areas was blown away by the gale.

Wen Wen Nengjie responded, "It's good that it's not. Territory No. 26 might file a claim for compensation. Brother Zhao, prepare the evidence in advance; there are quite a few people eyeing your position."

Zhao Ze, feeling uneasy, responded, instinctively wanting to call his good neighbor and hear her say a few words.

Zhao Mu raised her hand and covered her son's mouth. After her son released the walkie-talkie button, Zhao Mu spoke, "Xia Qing is busy, don't bother her with such groundless things. This is the Northern First District, Xia Qing has the final say. As long as you don't make any work mistakes, no one can take your position."

Zhao Ze behaved himself and didn't go online again.

Zhao Mu of Territory No. 10 went online to pray, "May the Divine Wolf bless us."

"The windbreak net on the south side of Dormitory Building No. 2 has snapped, creating a wind gap!" The personnel responsible for monitoring at the Ninth Center reported the disaster situation on the walkie-talkie.

It was Brother Yue Brother Yue Haiying's rest time, and Xia Qing was responsible for directing the disaster relief. She immediately pressed the walkie-talkie button, "Is there anyone in Dormitory Building No. 2 who hasn't taken shelter in the basement?"

Office Director Yan Brother Yue responded, "When checking the headcount five minutes ago, all personnel in Dormitory No. 2 had already taken shelter in the basement."

"Received." Xia Qing ordered, "The area within 100 meters north of Dormitory Building No. 2 is designated as a restricted zone. Snipers and observers performing defense missions in that area must take cover immediately. Notify the medical team to prepare for emergency rescue."

Security Minister Guo Guo Chongjun replied, "Received, notifying immediately."

Yan Brother Yue replied, "Received, notifying the medical team immediately."

Just as the Ninth Center's walkie-talkie channel quieted down, the cold voice of Xin Yu came from the lord's walkie-talkie Xia Qing was wearing on her arm.

"Team Tan, the central dividing wall of Territory No. 8 has collapsed, two people are dead, and the outer wall of the bacterial powder factory is damaged. No support is needed for the time being."

Tan Tan Junjie went online and responded, "Received."

Xia Qing picked up her phone and sent a voice message to Xin Yu, "Is someone taking the opportunity to cause destruction?"

The north side of Territory No. 8 is the bacterial powder factory, staff dormitory area, and planting area, while the south side is Xin Yu's living area. The dividing line between the north and south is a brick wall four meters high.

The quality of the cement used to build this wall was better than the cement Xia Qing used to build the chicken coop and sheep shed, so it was unlikely that the wall would be pushed down by the gale.

Xin Yu quickly replied to Xia Qing, her voice extremely calm, "I had people knock the wall down. The ones who were crushed to death were personnel bought off by Cao Ying."

After confirming that the situation in Territory No. 8 was under control, Xia Qing continued to pay attention to the situation in the Ninth Center and Territory No. 3.

30 minutes later, the torrential rain stopped, but the gale continued.

The wooden boards blocking the doors and windows of Dormitory Building No. 2 at the Ninth Center were shattered by the gale, and the building was damaged; six territories reported losses of houses and greenhouses.

The duration of this gale had already exceeded the time predicted by the weather forecast, and the wind speed was still increasing!

43 minutes later, twelve territories reported losses. Xia Qing, through the monitor, watched helplessly as the double-layered windbreak net on the south side of Territory No. 3 was torn to shreds by the gale. The gale, blocked by the windbreak net, found a breakthrough and rushed fiercely toward Greenhouse No. 19.

46 minutes later, the rainproof tarp of Greenhouse No. 19 was torn and blown away by the gale, leaving the entire greenhouse with only the hardness-evolved bamboo frame. Then, the gale, which had already risen to Level 18, rushed toward Greenhouse No. 18 on the north side of Greenhouse No. 19, and Greenhouse No. 18 began to deform.

At the same time, the Ninth Center reported, "The windbreak net on the south side of Greenhouse No. 368 has ruptured, two greenhouses have been destroyed, and four greenhouses have already deformed..."

The disaster report on the walkie-talkie hadn't stopped yet when Xia Qing heard a loud "bang," and the shelf building in her territory where supplies were stored had been hit.
