Chapter 693 [111] Acidic Snow Apocalypse, Young Master is Calling You to Move!
The impact of "Angel's Descent" on the West City was far greater than that on the East City.
The West City has a tradition of believing in the Ghad religion, but the East City does not. Although the people of the East City also believed that this was a celestial phenomenon, since there was no subsequent catastrophe, it was gradually forgotten in the midst of their busy lives.
The effects of persistent acid snow are far more severe than those caused by angels or anything like that.
"My house is leaking acid!"
My child's cough just won't stop!
Why doesn't the company's Bright Sky Canopy protect the outer city?
"May the Holy Son Qin Jiandan and the Holy Mother Loli bless you!!"
Open-air water sources are polluted, makeshift houses are corroded, and farmland is destroyed by carnivorous thorns...
The cost of accessing water and food for civilians has skyrocketed.
Respiratory diseases, skin ulcers, and phlebitis are becoming increasingly common.
The Night Dragon Society's mobile hospital can only provide emergency care, and it is far from sufficient in the scattered residential areas.
Most ordinary people in the outer city rely on odd jobs, markets, and recycling for a living. Acid snow caused road closures, market shutdowns, and the cessation of outdoor work, resulting in zero income.
Looting, brawls, and even turning into comical ghosts out of a sense of absurdity about the world... all sorts of incidents occur frequently.
Qin Jiandan did not send additional mobile hospitals. Even regarding looting and fighting that did not cause significant disruption, he adopted a low-intervention approach.
The entire East City is simply too vast. After the eldest brother led the Abnormal Group to occupy District 11, the Night Dragon Society had effectively controlled a total of eight districts.
The Night Dragon Society's organizational capacity is not limitless. While defending the company, sending additional personnel elsewhere would only expose their weaknesses.
Simply expanding territory is meaningless. Our ancestors taught us: "If you preserve people but lose land, you can preserve both people and land; if you preserve land but lose people, you can lose both people and land."
The prophecy has shown that the company is destined to unleash a catastrophe that will wipe out the East City and even the entire Outer City.
The most important thing is to get residents to move to the Eco Tower and the Border Town Special Zone on their own initiative.
Relocate as soon as possible.
Qin Jiandan provided some assistance to the various districts of Dongcheng that were in trouble, and also sent out a large number of "propaganda teams" to promote the benefits of the Border City Special Zone.
"Come to District 3 and live in the Border Town Special Zone, right next to the Night Dragon Society headquarters! The sooner you arrive, the sooner you can enjoy it!"
"The border town special zone is equipped with fog-catching nets and a 'bionic tree root groundwater collection system,' enabling it to supply its own water. Even if the canal becomes polluted again, it will not be affected!"
"The EcoTower Vertical Farm is already producing a stable supply of grain. We have no shortage of meat, eggs, poultry, or fruit! You can immigrate to the Border Town Special Zone and then work at the EcoTower!"
"The inner city has reduced the coverage area of the Bright Light Canopy Generator, and the Night Dragon Society has erected its own Bright Light Canopy Generator on the Ecological Tower. After the canopy is purified, the acidic snow will turn into non-toxic ordinary snow, and there will be no need to worry about being harmed anymore!"
The increasingly harsh environment and the proactive efforts of the outreach team have prompted many disaster victims to begin relocating.
Upon arriving in the border town special zone, they were pleasantly surprised to find that their previous concerns about insufficient housing were unfounded.
The third floor of the Eco Tower has been completed, and there is still a large-scale underground expansion that can accommodate a large number of civilians for refuge or temporary residence.
Relying on the Night Dragon Society's own bright sky canopy, the Border Town Special Zone is building a "hexagonal unit cluster" residential area in the endless desert.
The "mobile base vehicle" is a pioneer in transforming desert land. It spreads sand-fixing bacteria along the way, causing the desert to form a biological crust, and continuously pushing the residential area into the desert.
Above the biological crust, structures of six residential modules surrounding a common core proliferate.
The twin towers of Huanshi City stand side by side. The Eco Tower is like another cell nucleus, independent of the central tower, and is rapidly expanding its boundaries.
Qin Jiandan knew very well that doing so would reduce the Night Dragon Society's influence outside of District 3.
Jiang Chouyun and Chen Tangmu both had reservations, while Zhu Shengzhi strongly opposed it, saying, "The young master just wants to suck all the people away, leaving the other brothers with nothing to eat!"
The senior member of the abnormal group didn't say anything.
No wonder, just look at the weirdos in the Abnormal Group.
"Chicken Bro," "Sea Cucumber Bro," the cockroach painter, the corpse doll monster, the "Sonic Twin-Tailed" giant, the "Metal Stomach Bro" who eats weapons and poops in metal, the reindeer herder "Deer Tube Bro"...
These people probably don't care at all whether there are residents in their jurisdiction. As long as they can fight and have fun, that's enough for them.
Naturally, Xia, as the leader of the Cherry Blossom Group, had no objections.
Her goal was to become the young master's wife; nothing else mattered.
Furthermore, since the Cherry Blossom Group is right next to District 3, Xia Xia believes that even if a major catastrophe really occurs, District 2 will not suffer too much damage.
"Young Master, we can forget about other places, but we can surely protect the Tenshukaku, right? It's someone's dowry."
Qin Jiandan verbally agreed, but secretly instructed Kazama to expedite the relocation of the "whole wet parts storage room" and the prisoners inside from the basement of the castle tower. "Hmph, what a lousy castle tower! I've long disliked Japanese architecture; it's good that it's been blown to pieces by the enemy!"
On this day, after attending the completion ceremony of the third floor of the Ecological Tower, Qin Jiandan took the opportunity to check on the central hospital inside the tower, which was initially completed.
Upon entering the hospital, the first thing you notice is not the smell of medicine, but a rare sense of order.
The waiting area is divided into three zones—red, yellow, and green—by smart partitions, representing the level of urgency of the patient's condition.
The waiting line was quiet and orderly. Patients sat in nano-coated chairs, while LED screens overhead displayed "Guidelines for the Use of Special Drugs for Fuel Cell Disease" and "Tips for Acid and Snow Protection".
There were no arguments, no queue-jumping—because it would be recorded and affect the priority of obtaining "special economic zone resettlement housing" in the future.
An old farmer won a box of "Optimistic Growth Essence" through a lottery, a highly effective medicine for treating phytotoxicity. Although not perfect, it could fetch a high price even in the inner city. The old farmer had to inject it on the spot to prevent him from reselling it.
Artificial sunlight streamed into the corridor, where guards protecting against bounty hunters and corporate assassins patrolled quietly. They were mostly former special police officers who had followed Mu Yue to the East City, and were predominantly beast girls, very popular with children (and Fury fans).
At the emergency room entrance, on the flight platform, three modified police airships, painted with the words "Night Dragon Medical," were warming up their engines and ready to go.
Upon seeing Qin Jiandan, the beast girl pilot saluted and reported, "Young Master, workers on the edge of the desert are being attacked by mutated mosquitoes. Requesting assistance!"
After Qin Jiandan nodded, the ambulance quickly took off, leaving a white contrail in the distance.
Several technicians at the prosthetic repair station were disassembling scrapped prosthetics on their workbench, next to a sign that read: "Trade in old prosthetics for new ones, and get 20% off the cost of the old parts."
Qin Jiandan recognized one of them as Dr. Li's apprentice, who was adjusting the prosthetic joints of an extremely strong patient.
To put the patient at ease, he casually remarked, "That 'Ring of Imprisonment' thing the company is researching isn't entirely useless; at least I'm all for it. The supernatural medical disputes I've encountered before were truly terrifying!"
Outside the maternity ward, a father was handing out candy; a Furui family had given birth to a healthy baby with tiger ears. A kind-faced nurse reported to the young master, "There have been 30 perfectly healthy newborns this month, even more than before!"
A weak voice came from inside the ward: "We really have to thank the young master's hospital. We no longer have to go to the inner city to be ripped off."
In Gesang's "shamanic auxiliary treatment area," several elderly people sat on futons, and Gesang used the vitality of cockroaches to relieve their rheumatism.
When the young master passed by, the old men all put their hands together in prayer, their faces devout.
"Young Master is truly a Bodhisattva reincarnated, saving all sentient beings."
"I absolutely must buy a statue of the young master and enshrine it at home!"
"I heard that the Saintess Kazama body pillow is sold out, and you get two Young Master statues for free with the purchase of one Kazama body pillow?"
"Bah! That's Zhu Shengzhi's blasphemous act! He only knows how to make money, how could he know the young master's painstaking efforts to heal the world? I curse Zhu Shengzhi to have a son without an anus!"
Zhu Shengzhi was jealous that ordinary people were being drawn away by the border town special zone, and in order to cause trouble for the central hospital, he even sent a "famous doctor" over.
This famous doctor claims to have an ancestral secret recipe called "Nine Heavens Mysterious Grass" that can completely eradicate cancer cells and senile diseases.
The formula includes: filter residue discarded after the regeneration chamber has been used for 1000 hours, the sweat of the comical ghost, engine oil from the T-unit...
When he mentioned "Fury's nails" and "tiger penis," Chen Tom, who was present at the time, was startled, fearing that someone would pull out his nails and tiger penis because he was a Maine Coon cat named Fury.
Qin Jiandan didn't tolerate the "famous doctor" and directly ordered Chen Tom to beat him up and send him back to the Shengzhi Group's base.
When it comes to "famous doctors" and "quack doctors," Qin Jiandan has always believed that Dr. Li oscillates between the two.
Once, Qin Jiandan was observing a combatant's surgery at headquarters. Halfway through the operation, the combatant awoke due to anesthesia resistance. Dr. Li even had a moment to joke with him: "Young man, who knows, if I moved your liver here, you might have better feng shui!"
Just like the "Dark Cuisine World," there is said to be a "Dark Medical World" in Ringstone City, where they forcibly change the sex of patients or add extra arms to them when treating them.
Qin Jiandan strongly suspected that Doctor Li was a member of the dark medical world, or at least had done so before joining the Night Dragon Society.
Just as Qin Jiandan was leaving the Central Hospital and heading back to headquarters, she saw Zhu Shengzhi rushing towards her at the entrance of the Ecological Tower.
The last time I saw Zhu Shengzhi was when he was wearing the Fat Pig Armor and was forced by Qin Jiandan and Ibash to go to the inner city for a noble execution. Zhu Shengzhi was later taken back to the outer city by Ibash and returned to District 6, cursing and swearing.
Zhu Shengzhi did not show any obvious displeasure when he met Qin Jiandan this time.
He rolled his small yellow eyes, stroked the six ordination scars on his bald head with one hand, and looked ingratiating.
"Young Master, do you want to go and visit a brothel?"
"what?"
"Hehehehehe—" Zhu Shengzhi chuckled lewdly, his eyes almost disappearing from his head.
"I heard that the young master has been flirting with women everywhere lately, asking them if they'd like to have his children. It seems like 'to master a powerful martial art, one must first woo a woman.' For the young master's sake, I've already recruited 1000 ladies from the Nightingale Corridor… They're all eagerly awaiting your visit!"
