Chapter 2844 Ten Days After The Catastrophe
They then shifted their gaze back toward the world. Indeed, it had undergone major transformations, looking far better than before with plants everywhere.
However, the prettier it seemed on the surface, the eerier it felt.
They could not help but feel that something was hidden behind those lush and vibrant vegetations.
It was no longer the same world they were familiar with.
Instead, to them, it was a completely foreign planet.
Nobody knew for sure if it would be safe for them to return rashly.
At that moment, someone piped up, “Look at how much the plants have changed! I bet the people and animals have undergone some transformations too! This is a dangerous and alien planet to us now! We can’t go back!”
“Yeah! For all we know, those mutated plants might just eat us up!”
The crowd shuddered at the mere thought of that.
Defenders of the Galaxy had been observing the changes in the world throughout the past few days.
They grew especially curious when they saw the pillars of light coming down from the sky through the transparent dome.
Even the high-rank officials from Zarain were shocked because the changes that took place in the world were simply far too huge.
Nonetheless, they still did not dare to disable the protective barrier as they feared it was still dangerous out there.
“The energy levels are still insanely high! Our instruments are all malfunctioning. We can’t test anything, but it seems the energy is gradually diminishing.”
All of Zarain’s units continued to observe the situation outside, making sure to check every single detail.
They were able to get a much better view than those at the space station, especially since they were located on the edge of the desert.
A simple glance outside was all it took for them to see the desert that had turned into a stunning oasis.
D*mn, you won’t find such a nice environment even if you search all of Zarain! Barren desert on one side, and heavenly oasis on the other… The contrast between the borders is so ridiculously huge that it feels surreal!
Everyone from Zarain was dumbfounded and bewildered by the view before them.
“My goodness! The energy within the super-spiritual ley line is insane! I mean, it turned a barren desert into an oasis like it was nothing! I doubt we could create a man-made oasis like that even with huge funds! Do you think we might’ve missed out on something?” someone asked.
What if we ended up blocking out a huge opportunity when we shielded ourselves against the energy storm?
“Should we go outside and have a look?” someone suggested.
“No! What if it’s dangerous? We could get ourselves into huge trouble! Besides, this equipment was built to protect all of Zarain as a whole! It is a single unit, so disabling the barrier here will disable the entire barrier protecting Zarain!”
Eventually, they decided against venturing outside.
“Look! Despite the huge change that has taken place, do you see anyone out there? There isn’t even a single animal in sight! This must mean it’s dangerous out there!”
Someone pointed out a frightening problem.
It was true that no human nor animal could be seen outside even after everyone had witnessed the transformation, especially in the aspect of vegetation.
The area outside was so quiet that the silence actually felt eerie, which discouraged them from heading out even further.
Having no other choice, they could only wait and continue observing the situation outside for more details.
Digital God, too, was flabbergasted when he saw the changes in the world.
Lab of Gods had assumed the world would be destroyed, yet it had been revamped instead.
Why is this happening? Why has everything become better instead? Where is the catastrophic destruction that was supposed to happen? What’s going on here? How did this turn into a blessing in disguise?
Meanwhile, the Erudians inside the Shelters had regained some basic information like the time of the day, but they still had zero knowledge about the changes outside.
That was mainly due to the Shelters being completely isolated from the outside world.
“Let’s wait a little while longer! We’ll see what happens ten days later!”
The Erudians decided to carry on waiting.
As time passed, the pillars of light gradually dimmed.
The energy surrounding the world remained in the air even though it had weakened, but all the other abnormalities slowly vanished.
Ten days soon went by in the blink of an eye.
