Don’t raise unruly people in extreme cold weather

Chapter 570: A Swamp

The overwhelming tsunami dealt a devastating blow to the entire city of Langton.

At least the inner city area had the old city walls to protect it, so it did not immediately face the horrific tsunami.

Moreover, the terrain is relatively high, and there is an outer urban area as a buffer. Except for the areas near the river that are hit by the rising tide, the situation in other areas is relatively not too serious.

The tide did flood into the city and submerged the streets, but it did not completely submerge the buildings on both sides of the streets. Most of the people were moved to higher places in time, and only a few people were washed away.

The only problem was the energy tower. These large buildings, which already had very deep foundations, were soaked in water. The boilers that were originally still working were directly poured with large amounts of seawater. Not only did the furnaces go out instantly, but the sudden change in temperature also caused the steam pipelines and even the boilers to explode.

This scene made the workers who were working hard to build the energy tower extremely heartbroken. Many of them even risked their lives and wanted to rush over to do something, but most of them were stopped.

Only a very small number of people actually rushed over, but they were unable to achieve anything. They just turned off some valves and the like. Apart from preventing further damage, they really couldn't have any greater impact.

As for the temple shelters built by the church, although they were also attacked, overall there were not many problems.

Most of the churches are located on high ground. Even though the city of Langton is located on a plain, there are still some high hills and small slopes.

Although these places are gradually invisible with the development of the city, their height will not change.

When the tsunami hit, many temple shelters were fortunately not flooded. Although the underground shelters may have been flooded, the extent was still within the range that the underground shelters could withstand.

As for those shelters that were not high enough or were not in a good location and were completely flooded...

There is nothing we can do but pray for their good luck.

After all, it was a tsunami that was nearly 100 meters high, and human power was completely unable to fight against a disaster of this scale.

At this time, in the outer city area, the strongholds of those evil cults were also severely impacted.

Because most people were accustomed to digging out an underground space in the ground to use as an altar, the large amount of sea water brought by the tsunami directly swallowed up these underground spaces, and many altars of evil gods suffered devastating blows.

Perhaps even the evil gods themselves had never thought that the disaster caused by their return would directly flood their own altars with the first wave of impact.

However, for these evil cults, they are not completely without ways to deal with this kind of disaster.

They either summoned "God's messengers" or sacrificed themselves to receive God's descent. After using various means, some evil god sects did succeed in keeping their strongholds and did not suffer huge losses.

But even so, they have used up a lot of their cards, and overall it is really hard to say whether it is worth it.

The people who suffered the most were the lower-class people living in the outer city. They had no time to react when the tsunami came and were directly swallowed up by the nearly 100-meter-high waves, and their houses and streets were washed away.

Conservative estimates show that at least hundreds of thousands of people were affected by the disaster, and at least half of them were swept away by the tsunami. Their chances of survival are slim. As for the affected area? Most of the city is submerged in water. The affected area is no longer a big deal. The entire city is now considered a disaster area.

"Is this the power of a natural disaster? A mere tsunami can have such power. Can humans really survive the end of the world?" Sandriyong had been devastated and had lost confidence. He looked very confused and helpless.

This is easy to understand. After all, she was just a demigod alchemist who lived for more than a hundred years before the first industrial revolution.

Although her life experience is indeed profound, what she has seen is really limited.

Not to mention that such a tsunami of nearly 100 meters is a rare occurrence for humans in a thousand years, and there has never been such a horrific disaster in historical records. Where can she go to experience the power of nature?

Even a demigod could only save himself from death when faced with this devastating disaster.

Want to fight or even eliminate the disaster? If she could do that, then Sandrillon could really call herself a god.

Even if she wanted to deny it, people would think it was God's humility.

"Respect nature. Even if mankind develops for another hundred years, it will still feel insignificant in the face of the might of nature." At this time, Perfect recovered faster than Sandrion and made himself rational and firm again.

But at some point, a crown appeared on her head.

"What should we do now?" Seeing Perfecto regain his spirits, Sandrion felt like he had grabbed a life-saving straw.

"First, rescue the disaster, and we can deal with the rest later." Wearing the crown, Perfecto was very calm and rational at this time, and ordered the captain directly: "Immediately mobilize all the troops in Langton City to rescue the disaster in the name of the Earl of the North, whether it is the city guards, the guards, or the standing army, all of them, move!
Evacuate the people to the high ground that has not been flooded yet, and send all the airships out to rescue the trapped people in the city. Also, have them announce to the entire city that I have arrived in Langton and am leading the disaster relief! I will give a speech to the whole city later."

After saying this, Perfect looked at Sandrion and ordered her without hesitation: "Return to the Alchemist Association immediately and mobilize all the alchemists who can be mobilized to make water pumps.

Although the accumulated water caused by the tsunami will recede within a few days, it will take too long to wait for the water level to recede on its own, and it is impossible for some flooded underground shelters to be completely drained.

So we need a lot of pumps to drain the water as much as possible, and quickly, because this disaster is just the beginning."

Perfect knew that after the storm surge, a typhoon would make landfall. If the water accumulation problem caused by the backflow of seawater could not be dealt with as soon as possible, the damage would be even greater when the super typhoon that caused the storm surge began to land.

Moreover, the sudden drop in temperature will cause people who lack shelter to freeze to death, and may even freeze the entire city in ice.

So now we have to race against time to carry out disaster relief and try to rescue as many things as possible.

Especially those shelters and energy towers that were flooded, if one person could be rescued, more people would survive later.
