195: Chapter 195 Fire Seals the TopOn the large screen, a string of red characters flickered frantically:

[Moisture-proof partition zone: Estimated time to stability < 20 minutes]

[Sector C communication relay tower main core board has melted through]

[Acid rain pH dropped to 3.5 · Corrosion index entered critical red zone]

Lin Sui gritted her teeth and slammed her hand onto the table: ”Cut power to the entire surface!”

”Switch to the independent underground power grid immediately—bring all backup plastic-sealed boards online!”

”Throttle all ventilation systems, close Entrance 3, and force-seal the pedestrian path at Entrance 5.”

”Protect the underground!”

”Save our people!”

She paused, took a deep breath, and then gritted her teeth again, whispering:

”It’s not about repairs anymore.”

”It’s about sealing.”

”This rain... it didn’t come to kill people.”

”It came to—kill ’hope’.”

The glass on the facade of the high-rise began to crackle and shatter, with corrosive trails trailing white smoke seeping down along the aluminum window frames.

Rainwater flowed down the exterior walls into unsealed gaps; plastic sheds, external pipes, and thermal insulation coatings—all turned into bubbling, mushy shells.

A dull thud came from the surface walkway:

[Boom—]

The steel floor of Channel 6 suddenly sank two centimeters, and rainwater poured in through the cracks like a viper.

There was no longer any footing on the surface.

The surface of the Shelter was no longer a space for humans.

It had become—a [Corrosion Pool] created by the toxic rain.

She sat in front of the screen, watching the structural diagram that was constantly collapsing.

Suddenly, she whispered:

”If we can’t hold out through this round...”

”The little bit of human civilization we have left will truly become—a legend.”

She didn’t cry.

But her whole being felt as if it had been pressed by the rain into a deep, crumbling well.

At this moment, Orchid Rock:

Surface Area: Completely abandoned, designated as a [Non-Human Activity Zone].

Underground: Level 3 critical lockdown initiated.

Food: No longer heated, switched entirely to cold distribution for energy saving.

Water Source: Only emergency outlets maintained, rainwater collection completely halted.

Communication: Satellite signals severely interfered with, half of the shielding array forced to shut down.

The only thing humans could hold onto in the end was a few layers of old underground concrete—

But no one knew how long it could hold out.

The acid rain didn’t wash away human bodies.

But it was trying to wash away the nerves and will of this civilization.

The rain hadn’t fallen through yet, but the first metal roof of Tianlang Mountain Base had already been corroded through by the acidic water.

”Bang—!” The alarm sounded instantly.

Ye Nanxing, while directing the surface lockdown, called up the batch of special glass materials recovered previously from Yellow Sand Town.

”Let’s try that.”

”That batch of ’special glass’ wasn’t designed for acid rain, but it has a complete heat and corrosion-resistant structure. There’s still hope.”

Chu Yunting’s eyes lit up, ”Right! It wasn’t designed for acid rain, but its heat resistance, alkali resistance, and impact resistance are all above Level 5. Theoretically, it can hold for a while!”

”Theoretically?” Zhang Tianjin charged out, carrying a glass panel, ”Now is not the time for writing a thesis!”

Zhao Wei roared, ”Who cares if it works or not! Just block it first!”

The Research Team, Combat Support Team, and Logistics Team responded simultaneously.

More than a dozen 1-meter-square special glass panels were quickly pulled up to the south high-wall platform, and the first ”test wall” was erected within five minutes.

Everyone held their breath.

”Clatter—!”

The rain poured down, hitting the surface of the special glass. Unlike the metal, it didn’t emit corrosive smoke, leaving only a faint water mark.

Three minutes later, the data on Shen Qingyan’s detector finally popped up:

[Acid pH: 3.2]

[Erosion rate: 0.7 mm/hour]

[Internal layer integrity: 99.1%]

[Calculated stable defense time: 17-18 hours]

Shen Qingyan looked up sharply: ”It worked!”

”Pressure capacity is stable! The glass isn’t penetrating!”

Lin Xiao immediately shouted: ”Medical pods, water wells, power control rooms—deploy priority!”

Zhang Tianjin had already kicked open the door to the supply warehouse: ”All special glass, move it all!”

”This rain today isn’t a washing; it’s a beating!”

”I don’t believe we can’t withstand it!”

The rain fell harder and harder, and the temperature rose instead of falling. The wind, carrying a scorched smell and a corrosive sensation, stirred up layers of water vapor and mist.

All over the dozen corridors, platforms, and connecting walkways of Tianlang Mountain Base were figures braving the rain to piece together the glass.

Some people’s hands were scalded red; some people’s fingers were shaking so much they couldn’t lift them.

But no one retreated.

They carried the panels, stepped on the water-soaked platforms, and piece by piece—”pieced together the roof.”

Zhao Wei gritted his teeth and roared: ”Today we aren’t just withstanding high temperatures; we are withstanding the sky!”

Shen Qingyan, while recording data, shouted a reminder: ”Don’t use metal at the glass joints! Solder won’t work!”

Just as Shen Qingyan shouted ”Solder won’t work,” Chu Yunting had already turned his head toward the rooftop.

”Let him come.” His tone was firm, ”Flame Born.”

Ye Nanxing frowned slightly, her eyes flickering.

—Flame Born is fire.

—Rain is the natural enemy of fire.

Moreover, this rain was acid rain.

”His body hasn’t fully adapted to the world’s field yet,” Shen Qingyan whispered a reminder.

”But we can’t hold up the assembly ourselves,” Lin Xiao gritted his teeth, ”The assembly edges are the weak point. Once water gets in... the entire protective structure will collapse.”

While they were at a stalemate, a faint light suddenly appeared in the platform corridor.

Flame Born appeared.

He had changed into a simple thermal-insulated battle robe, his fire patterns suppressed to a minimum, but his aura remained stable.

”I can do it.” He looked at Ye Nanxing, his voice youthful but firm:

”Sister, I am fire.”

”As long as I don’t extinguish—I will be here.”

Ye Nanxing’s eyes wavered for a moment.

”Are you sure?”

Flame Born nodded, revealing a rare smile:

”I can help.”

”I’m happy.”

Flame Born stepped through the water mist, walking step by step toward the glass array.

Raindrops hit his protective flames, making a ”hiss—hiss—” sound, as if fire and water were tearing at each other, clashing.

His firelight was constantly extinguished and then reignited.

Ye Nanxing stood on the steps, her knuckles clenched tightly: ”This acid rain isn’t ordinary rain. Flame Born’s essence is fire; one injury could be devastating.”

”His body hasn’t fully fused—”

Zhang Tianjin roared: ”I’ll take the hit!”

He slammed a wide special glass panel onto his shoulder, ”I’ll shield him!”

”He pieces the glass, I’ll risk my life!”

Flame Born turned to look at him, didn’t speak, but nodded earnestly.

Chu Yunting stepped forward as well, saying in a deep voice: ”This won’t work.”

”We can’t let him stand here too long—have him retreat to the core assembly area.”

”Fuse the small glass pieces into large modules indoors first.”

”Then come out at the end to use the fire seal on the joints.”

Shen Qingyan clapped her hands: ”Right, that way the direct contact time with the acid rain can be cut by more than half.”

Ye Nanxing looked at Flame Born: ”Can you control the temperature and precision?”

Flame Born said softly: ”I can.”
