Apocalypse Descent: Farming with My Harem

Chapter 501 - 226: After the Disaster, Large-scale Construction!_2

Facing the howling storm, he worked within the territory.

At the same time.

The same scenes unfolded across many territories.

Some territories saw their watchtowers and elemental arrow towers, along with other high-rise buildings, being blown down one after another.

However, they did not have the strength of Cao Xing’s territory.

The severity of the disaster grew increasingly dire.

Survivors were struggling with all their might to stay alive.

Even the once lively chat channels fell silent.

…

…

Meanwhile, in a slightly smaller territory, a young girl quickly emerged.

Her territory was also affected by the storm.

Since her territory was near a forest, the gale blew down large trees, crushing her territory’s buildings, causing widespread damage.

Seeing this scene, Qiu Yating frowned slightly, her youthful face showing a hint of gravity.

Hesitation flashed in Qiu Yating’s eyes.

In the strong wind, she muttered to herself, “Should I use the power of that crystal ball?”

“This thing is mighty, but the consumption is terrifying. Using it once depletes a vast amount of my resources.”

After struggling for a moment, Qiu Yating bit her lip lightly, seemingly making a decision.

She quickly retrieved a blue crystal ball from her backpack, and held it high above her head.

As her red lips parted, she seemed to be chanting some spell.

The crystal ball began to emit a dazzling blue light.

In the next moment, a blue energy shield appeared around the whole territory as if out of nowhere.

“Buzz!”

This blue energy shield blocked the snowstorm that filled the sky.

Qiu Yating breathed a sigh of relief.

“Fortunately, it held up. That crystal ball, though its consumption is terrifying, holds a powerful force.”

“No wonder it’s an orange quality item!”

…

…

Time slowly passed…

In the blink of an eye, dusk arrived.

Cao Xing looked outside through the window.

The howling gale finally showed signs of abating.

Even the snowfall had lessened somewhat.

This gave everyone hope.

It wasn’t until one or two in the morning that the storm finally ceased.

The chat channels erupted in cheers.

Because they had finally survived this terrible storm!

They became survivors.

Cao Xing glanced at the number of online users.

[Zone 17 Online Users: 208,315/229,713]

…

Excluding the survivors who died due to various monsters earlier, this storm took nearly twenty thousand lives.

You must know, these people had survived two updates, yet still didn’t make it through this time.

It showed just how harsh the weather could be in this world.

The survivors, exhausted after two days, could finally sleep soundly.

Including Cao Xing, who also soon fell asleep.

…

…

A night without events, everyone fell into a deep slumber.

The next day…

The familiar system prompt appeared again.

[Attention Survivors, you have survived the eleventh day of the official period. The storm has stopped today. This afternoon, the power of the giant dragon will again descend near your territory. Please make good use of the time to rebuild your destroyed buildings to withstand the assault of the Ice Nest.]

[Attention! Although the survivors have successfully weathered this storm, it is not the most severe natural disaster in this world. Due to various factors, more severe natural disasters such as “Erosion Snow Disaster” and “Cold Silence Cold Wind” may occur. Please be ready.]

[Weather forecast: Snow and wind have stopped. Today’s temperatures range from -47°C to -56°C. It is suitable for building houses and development.]

…

Seeing the system prompt, all the survivors realized one thing.

That this storm was not the most severe natural disaster, more challenging ordeals awaited them.

However, at least this time, they successfully survived, gaining much development time.

Survivors quickly utilized the time, rushing out from the Lord’s Hut to rebuild their territories as every minute counted.

Cao Xing also turned to the beauty beside him and said, “Let’s go, Muxue.”

“Let’s go out and see the extent of the damage to our territory.”

Upon hearing this, Liu Muxue frowned slightly, then nodded gently.

These past two nights, Cao Xing also heard the sound of several watchtowers collapsing in the territory.

Clearly, even their territory suffered some damage.

After simple washing up, they quickly left the Lord’s Hut.

“Whoosh—”

A chilling breeze greeted them.

The sight was all white, clad in snow, and white sheathed in silver.

Apart from the central zone inside the territory, other border areas were covered in snow.

Even the city walls were stacked with thick snow.

Outside the territory, the snow’s thickness reached a staggering level.

It was as if the storm was attempting to bury the entire world.

At that moment, a large group of subjects had already stepped out from their homes and waited outside the Lord’s Hut.

They all knew that the Lord was about to come out and lay out the day’s tasks.

As those familiar figures appeared, joy filled the eyes of the subjects.

They respectfully said, “Lord, may you have good health.”

“Lord’s Wife, may you be as beautiful as the stars in the sky.”

Facing their greetings, Cao Xing nodded.

Then he glanced around his territory.

He found that a few [Lighthouses] had been blown down, collapsing a few two-story residential buildings.

Luckily, those residential buildings were vacant, with no one living in them.

Meanwhile, several [Watchtowers] and [Ice Arrow Towers] had also collapsed, damaging the city walls.
