Tomorrow's Ark is too real

Chapter 35
The dark clouds ahead are close at hand. After 2 days of driving, the Glasgow gang finally arrived at the destination of the trip, Mandel City.

It was only afternoon, but the sky outside the car window had become very dark, and traces of people's habitation began to appear on both sides of the road.

Scattered simple houses can be seen everywhere on the side of the road. At the end of the road extending from the road, there is a large area of ​​bungalows. It seems to be an abandoned village a long time ago. The roofs are incomplete and most of the walls have collapsed. It looks like a ghost village that often appears in movies.

Judging from the size of the passing villages, Mandel City in its heyday should have been very prosperous. There were at least 7 or 8 large villages not far from Mandel City along the way, and there were countless small villages.

Xia Feng quietly looked at the ruins of the village outside the car window. With the dim sky, his eyes were full of a scene of the end of the world.

"Hey, it may take several generations of hard work to build a village, but because of a natural disaster, so many houses were abandoned."

Kate, who was driving, looked ahead and replied blankly.

"There is no way to do this. The land after the natural disaster cannot be cultivated. Moreover, Mandel City has fallen. The residents of these villages must abandon their homes if they want to continue to live."

Xia Feng sighed.

"I understand the truth, but seeing this tragic situation with my own eyes, how can I put it, I still feel quite complicated in my heart."

Wei Na patted him on the shoulder.

"Xia Feng, I know it's your first time entering such a dangerous place and you will inevitably be a little nervous. Relax and don't think about it, we will be there soon."

"kindness."

Soon, the terrain began to get higher, and there were large areas of dead trees on both sides of the road, which seemed to be climbing up a hill.

The field of view began to be sharply restricted, and the three vehicles increased their horsepower and drove up a long uphill at a constant speed.

5 minute later.

When the terrain finally leveled off, Kate pulled over to the side of the road, followed by two other cars.

Opening the car door, Wei Na stepped down first, and when Xia Feng was the last to jump out of the car holding Guigui's hand, she was completely shocked by the sight in her eyes.

"This is."

"This is Mandel City."

Under the hillside, a magnificent and huge city appeared in front of everyone.

The endlessly extended streets intersect in the city, and buildings of different heights stand on both sides of the street, and the edge cannot be seen at a glance.
A long-dried river passed through the city, dividing Mandel City into two urban areas, the north and the south.

Looking down from a distance, the layout of the whole city is very regular. From the shape of the buildings, you can roughly distinguish schools, parks, hospitals, and high-rise commercial areas, residential areas, central squares, etc.

However, the hustle and bustle of the past is no longer there, and Mandel City, which has been baptized by two natural disasters, has turned into a grayish white full of death and despair.

The walls of the buildings are dilapidated, and some have collapsed. The whole city is silently destroyed. The bleak cold wind passes through the streets, as if playing a final song.

Xia Feng had imagined the appearance of Mandel City countless times in his mind before, but after actually seeing it, he was still a little shocked.

The city is too big.

Seeing Xia Feng's surprise, Kate next to him explained in a deep voice.

"27 years ago, Mandel City was the largest trading city in the north of Ursas. Because it was very close to Kjerag, the goods transported from the holy mountain of Karan were basically transshipped in Mandel City. In addition, the surrounding minerals are rich. Natural resources are abundant, and the level of economic development here was once ahead of all inland cities in Usas, and the scale of the city has also expanded again and again, and finally developed to the level you see now."

"That's really amazing."

"Not only that, because the logistics of Mandel City was developed back then, many businessmen went here, and the foreign population even surpassed the natives of Ursas. As time went on, it gradually became a multi-ethnic and diverse city. In the end there was even an exclusive law that only applies to Mandel City."

Xia Feng nodded. If you want to compare it, Mandel City is like a special administrative zone. This northern city standing on the border of Ursas has formed its own exclusive culture.

However, with the advent of a natural disaster, all of these were reduced to ashes.

Wei Na just glanced at the ruins of Mandel City blankly and said nothing.

She took out a small box from the trunk of the jeep, opened it and put it on the ground.

Xia Feng approached curiously.

"Vina, what is this?"

Wei Na took out a bunch of arc-shaped metal plates from inside, and distributed them to everyone one by one.

"This is an air shield to prevent Originium infection. Remember, no matter what happens after entering the city, don't take it off. If you have to take it off, the interval should not exceed 3 minutes."

Xia Feng took the protective mask carefully and held it in his hand. He felt that this kind of thing was much thicker than ordinary masks, and it couldn't be folded at will.

When worn on the face, breathing is completely unaffected, and the voice of speaking can also be transmitted normally.

After Xia Feng put it on by himself, he took out another one from the box, leaned down and prepared to put it on for the turtle next to him.

Turtle shook his head.

"I do not need this."

Xia Feng was taken aback for a moment, then immediately remembered that Guigui was already an infected person.

After distributing the protective shields to everyone, Wei Na took out a small bottle from the box and distributed the pills in the bottle to everyone.

"Everyone takes one. This is a drug that inhibits the fusion of blood and origin stone substances. Although there will be slight side effects, it is better than contracting ore disease."

Xia Feng took a pill.

"What are the side effects of this medicine?"

"If you are a person with poor physique, you may experience symptoms such as dizziness, weakness in limbs, and chest tightness caused by increased heart load after taking it. However, you must eat it. This is an order."

Xia Feng nodded and swallowed the pill.

Wei Na watched everyone take the medicine very responsibly. For her, she no longer wanted to see her companion contract the terrifying ore disease.

At last.

Wei Na took out a needle tube from the bottom layer of the box.

"This is the ore sickness inhibitor that I bought from Columbia at a great price, and it is also the last resort once someone among us is confirmed to be infected with ore sickness."

Wei Na held the small needle, looked at everyone seriously and continued.

"Our protective measures are unprofessional. Whether it is masks or medicines, there is no [-]% guarantee that we will not be infected with ore disease. Please remember what I am going to say next."

Everyone looked at Wei Na seriously.

"Listen well, if you confirm that you are infected with ore disease, before the origin stone material is fused with the blood, please inject this inhibitor immediately. This is the top biotechnology in the world at present. It will instantly kill your whole body. within 24 hours, the medicine in the injection will automatically separate the origin stone material from the blood, and the success rate is as high as 80%."

Just as Xia Feng was about to say something, Wei Na's next words immediately interrupted him.

"However, there are some things you need to know in advance. We only have about 5 minutes from being infected with the ore disease to fusing the origin stone material with the blood. That is to say, once the infection exceeds 5 minutes, the injection will be lost. If it doesn’t work, then we can only accept the cruel fact that we have completely become an infected person. There is one more thing to explain, if a person who is not infected with ore disease is injected, it will cause huge damage to the blood cells of ordinary people, so everyone’s judgment You must be rational, decisive, and accurate, do you understand everything?"

"Understood!"

The crowd answered in unison.

Wei Na held the syringe in her hand and looked into the eyes of everyone.

"There is one last thing, and the most important thing, that is, this inhibitor is the only one in my hand!"
