Yinchuan Plain
Looking down from a high altitude, the Yellow River presents a "ji" shape here. A large amount of sediment has been impacted by the river water on the river bank for many years, forming a large and fertile flat land.
Compared with the two major river basins of the Yangtze River and Pearl River that are frequently invaded by sea monsters along the coast, the Yellow River is an area that is difficult for sea monsters to invade. On the one hand, the huge underground river channels in the Bohai Sea were destroyed by Zhang Xiaohou. The Bohai Sea is no longer the main area for sea monsters. On the other hand, the large amount of sediment and impurities in the Yellow River will seriously hinder the Kraken's upstream march.
The Yellow River is rapid, difficult to control, and floods all year round, causing disasters. Such unrestrained and rampant waters make it difficult for a large number of low-level sea monsters to swim freely.
After all, the Kraken army still needs those huge Kraken tribes to carry out the general attack. The low-level Kraken are already exhausted when they swim upstream of the Yellow River. How can they invade the towns on both sides of the Yellow River?
Of course, this is the collapsed area of the plateau. Although it is called a plain, the altitude is actually more than a thousand meters above sea level. It is difficult for the sea monster to reach this area.
No civilization can do without water.
Only where there is water can we irrigate, breed, generate electricity, and transport...
Where do the waters come from? Some rivers in the interior rely on rainwater, but in places where rainwater is scarce, they rely on ice and snow on the mountains.
When the temperature rises, the ice and snow accumulated on the major mountain ranges will melt, and the melted snow water will flow to lower areas to form streams. The streams will converge at one place to become a river, and the rivers will converge at a certain place. It is the great river.
At the intersection of great rivers, as long as the environment is suitable, there will be a prosperous city. This has been the case since ancient times.
However, now a cold wave is sweeping across China, making it difficult for icebergs to melt. Many rivers have dried up and have no source of input, resulting in the death of many crops and blocked river transportation.
Even though sea water is balancing the temperature difference along the coast, the coast is being attacked by sea monsters in large numbers!
The interior is cold and the watersheds are frozen, so frozen is the lifeblood of mankind.
The coast was directly invaded by sea monsters, and the living space was reduced to only five base cities.
The alliance between the Extreme Southern Emperor and the Pacific Protoss is tantamount to directly strangling all people's ways of survival.
Abandoning the east coastline and retreating to the interior, can humans really survive in such a harsh environment?
…
Looking at the cold water of the Yellow River, Zhang Xiaohou, who had worked as a cadre both inland and along the coast, fell into deep thought.
A large number of paper talks have appeared on the Internet. They have proposed retreating from the east coastline, focusing all their forces on exterminating the demons in the interior, and seizing territory from those demons that are weaker than the sea demons, thereby easing the current situation.
There are many, many seemingly wise men who make suggestions for the country, analyze the situation, and control the overall situation, and are supported by many people. These supporters begin to question the government's decisions and the country's decisions.
But in fact, their proposals are narrow and one-sided.
They have not conducted on-site inspections, they have not seen the cruelty of the inland demons, nor have they seen the helplessness and despair of the farmers when they look at the icebergs that are no longer melting...
Wherever there is a place of peace, wherever there is a place to hide, what this country needs is not those suggestions, nor does it need to support extremely high voices. What it needs is people who can truly solve the iceberg, solve the monsters, and solve all the difficulties before them!
There is a need to discover new cold-resistant crops, a method to melt icebergs, a better water conservancy project, and more strong men to fight against demons... There are so many needs, but there is no shortage of wise men with such suggestions.
The mainland is not optimistic at all, and as the cold wave continues, the upper reaches of the river basin may freeze into ice. By then, there will be no water for irrigation of crops, the dams will not be able to generate electricity, and civilization will regress. Even if the sea monsters do not wipe out all humans, they will Won the final victory.
"So Speaker Shao Zheng was not impeached, he was just sent to a place that needed him more. He always sees further than others." Zhang Xiaohou said to himself.
"Hey, what are you doing there?" Jiang Shaoxu's voice came from not far away.
Zhang Xiaohou came back to his senses and found that the two girls had crawled to the ground at some point, and seemed to have found some traces left on both sides of the river.
"There are no monsters nearby. I checked." Zhang Xiaohou said.
"Well, then we went down. Lingling and I found a river monument embedded in the solid soil. It should be what we are looking for this time." Jiang Shaoxu said.
"Okay, I'll continue to stand guard up there. If anything happens, call me." Zhang Xiaohou said.
"You are a veteran. You have lured away all the Yellow Sand River Demon Tigers that are entrenched here. How did you do it?" Jiang Shaoxu asked with a smile.
In the wild, being able to avoid the demon tribe is a very important ability. Even if the cultivation level is extremely high, the demon tribe can be easily killed. The fluctuation of magic and the smell of blood will attract a larger demon group.
"When I first joined the army, I was a scout. This is what I am best at." Zhang Xiaohou also laughed, saying that he was still very proud of his ability in this area.
"Well, you continue to play with those Yellow Sand River Demon Tigers, and we can leave after we copy the text and patterns on the river monument." Jiang Shaoxu said.
"Is it a clue to the holy totem?" Zhang Xiaohou couldn't help but ask.
"It must be." Jiang Shaoxu said with certainty.
"good!"
…
…
At the eastern foot of Helan Mountain, a large mass of black people poured out of the valley like a million crows migrating. They had pairs of pupils glowing with sinister deep purple. When they flew into the air in groups, they looked like a ball of night carrying There is a strange starry sky.
It happens to be noon now and the sun is shining brightly. The contrast is truly heart-stopping!
"You fucking tricked me, Helan Mountain Insect Valley is not a small tribe at all!" On the plain, three tiny figures were speeding.
The strange star worm swarm was in the air behind them, and there were some blood beasts wandering on the plains, trying to hunt some stray buffalo. When they saw the strange star worm swarm coming, they were also trying to escape.
But their speed was too slow, and the strange swarm of star bugs blew by like a black wind, leaving behind only a piece of white skeletons, and even the surrounding turf was gone. It was extremely scary!
"You have time to scold me, why don't you use your fire magic to destroy them? I remember that your flame has a special effect and is the nemesis of these insect creatures." Mu Bai shouted.
"Are you kidding me? Their eggs were hatched in the rock fire of the valley. If they are afraid of fire, why should we run away!!" Mo Fan cursed.
"Isn't it because your fire is not strong enough?"
"Haha, you can do it, why are you running?"
"I just don't want to get entangled with them." Mu Bai said without changing his expression.
