Sky Dome Barrier, Biological Virus

"Yan Country, a nation on the wasteland!"

"The population has reached over one million, and the land area is three and a half million square kilometers!"

"Humans are really amazing, they actually established a government in the wasteland! And such a huge country at that!"

The black characters on white paper printed out the Chinese characters were very neat and upright.

Without a doubt, these people, like Ma Gu, belong to Earth in another parallel universe.

Each group will have different approaches; the Expeditionary Force chose brutal resistance in order to uncover the secret.

This group of people chose to resist, a resistance in order to survive.

From these familiar words, Su Mo seemed to see the scenes of these Yan Country countrymen from Yan rising up to resist in the face of disaster after disaster.

They chose not to compromise, nor did they choose to search for secrets; they only wanted to survive tenaciously in this wasteland and rebuild humanity's home.

Of course, the fact that there are no traces of their survival in the wasteland now shows that this generation also failed, but this does not affect the precious spiritual wealth and memories they left to future generations!

The wasteland has no memory, but it has writing. Humans don't have a memory inheritance like wasteland creatures, but they have paper records. That's enough!

"Ma Fei's generation forged a path completely different from that of the Expeditionary Force."

"Using mystical abilities, they established a nation and have been protecting over a million Yan Country!"

"And they successfully survived the Ocean Disaster and reached the New Continent!"

"They went further than Ma Gu, and they went further than we did!"

It can be seen from Ma Gu's diary that the generation of the Expeditionary Force was actually a failure. They went down the wrong path from the very beginning. At least Ma Gu, as one of the top 1%, did not persevere until the arrival of the ocean to go to the New Continent, which is outrageous.

Of course, for those on the "expedition," finding the secrets of this world is the primary mission, but survival is the prerequisite! "We know that two previous groups of our fellow Chinese have participated, and this is invaluable experience."

"Absorb, I must fully absorb their shortcomings and deficiencies. Only then can I go further and discover the true secrets of this wasteland."

Su Mo was not afraid of death.

What Su Mo feared was that after his death, he would be like these people, leaving behind his wealth for future generations to solve.

This kind of empty expectation is the greatest torment for a higher primate, a torment far more painful than the absence of hope.

Especially after acquiring such a magical system, Su Mo's petty bourgeois mentality gradually faded, replaced by curiosity about this world and a desire to explore the unknown! With excitement, after browsing through the remaining Yan Country legislation rules on the first page, Su Mo opened the second page.

On this second page, all the machine-printed text disappeared, and the handwriting of "Ma Fei," the mayor of Liangfang Town, began to appear.

"On January 5th of the fourth year of the Doomsday New Calendar, Liangfang Town was officially established. Liang means good and Fang means trade, implying that good trade can be born here. This city, spearheaded by Tianxi Province and funded by Xiangping City, hopes to facilitate trade between Tianxi Province and Shanbei Province, becoming a bridge for mutual exchange between the two provinces. As the first mayor sent down by the organization, I am honored and also apprehensive."

"On March 1st, the fourth year of the Doomsday New Calendar, the first trade agreement was reached with Hanwu City, Shanbei Province. This route passed through three tribal strongholds. A 5% toll was paid per trip, totaling 15%. The handover was made by Wang Chuan. Everything went smoothly!"

"On May 5th of the fourth year of the Doomsday New Calendar, the fourth trade agreement was reached with Jiangqian City, Shanbei Province. This route passed through five tribal strongholds. A 7% toll was paid each time, totaling 35% in tolls. The handover was conducted by Meng Kaixing, and everything went smoothly (measures: negotiate tolls, reduce transportation costs, or directly change the route)."

"On June 1st, 4th year of the Doomsday New Calendar, National Day, trade is cancelled. The 8,600 villagers of Liangfang Town will celebrate National Day, consuming the following resources: rice xxx, flour xxx, vegetables xxx (Measures: Strengthen management of the migrant population, report and strengthen the maintenance of the Sky Dome Barrier to ensure no accidents occur)."

"On January 1st, the fifth year of the Doomsday New Calendar, the ninth trade agreement was reached with Hanwu City, Shanbei Province. This route passed through two alien strongholds. A toll of 13% was paid each time, totaling 26%. During the handover negotiations, Wang Chuan, the person in charge, died unexpectedly. (Measures: Investigate the cause of Wang Chuan's death; activate the Sky Dome Barrier for 24/7 protection; raise the threat level of the Flower Tiger Race to Level 1; raise the threat level of the Mountain Pig Race to Level 1)"

"On March 5th, the seventh year of the Doomsday New Calendar, the twenty-second trade was reached with Yangyue City, Shanbei Province. This route passed through a tribal stronghold. A toll of 50% was charged per trip. The person in charge of the handover Li Feiyu. (Measures: The toll was too high, and Li Feiyu protested, but the protest was not approved. He was also surrounded by the Sman Pigmen for one day and two nights. The Sman Pigmen's threat level was raised to level one. This trade route was temporarily suspended, and the anomaly was reported to Hualian County.)"

"On March 7th, Year 8 of the Doomsday New Calendar, a sudden disaster will occur: volcanic activity (Disaster Threat Level: Level 2; Sky Dome Barrier: Level 1 Protection; Estimated Success Rate of Surviving the Disaster: 100%). Current population of Liangfang Town: 54,355 (Measures: Reduce to 35,000)"

"Doomsday New Calendar June 1st, the 9th year of the apocalypse (National Day), the 31st transaction with Yangliu City, Shanbei Province, was completed, but contact was lost during the transaction. (Measures: Feedback to Xiangping City and Tianxi Province; alert level raised to Special Level; current population: 32,000; disperse all outsiders and all invasive species; no one without Liangfang Town household registration is allowed to enter; all buildings outside the Sky Dome Barrier must be demolished; Mayor Ma Fei is to report to Hualian County.)"

" On Doomsday New Calendar), the team that came to hand over supplies lost contact. Currently, the supplies in Liangfang Town are insufficient to sustain the daily operations of 5,000 people. The energy of the Sky Dome Barrier is critically low (Measures: Demolish all outer buildings, continue to shrink the area, and continue to relocate 3,000 people to Hualian County to ensure the daily operation of Liangfang Town)."

" On Doomsday New Calendar, a new disaster has occurred. This disaster is a terrifying one that humanity has never faced before: Biological Virus. The higher-ups have not yet issued any statement. Hualian County is out of contact, and Liangfang Town has not received any material support for three months. I must do something. (Measures: Disband another thousand people to maintain the thousand-person scale, further reduce the protection range of the Sky Dome Barrier, and Mayor Ma Fei goes to Xiangping City to seek assistance.)"

The document, spanning thirty-six pages, meticulously records Ma Fei's thirty-one trade dealings with Shanbei Province since becoming the mayor of Liangfang Town, as well as his complete handling of five disasters that slightly impacted the operation of Liangfang Town.

This spans a period of five and a half years, or more than 2,000 days.

At its peak, Liangfang Town had a permanent population of over 50,000 and so much material wealth that 20,000 people could do nothing but eat and sleep for a whole year.

Even when the last transaction was lost, the population was still just over 30,000.

"Fifty thousand people! Liangfang Town has been reduced to such a terrifying state by Ma Fei!"

"A single grain trade can reach nine million kilograms! What does that even mean!"

The Town Chief Handbook mainly records things for his superiors to see, so the wording is extremely formal, and it indicates the quantity of each type of traded item.

The barrier enveloping Liangfang Town is referred to in the manual as the "Sky Dome Barrier"! The Sky Dome Barrier is not a patent of Liangfang Town, but is uniformly distributed and established by the Yan Country, and even its later maintenance requires professional personnel to operate.

As for the barrier's defensive properties, they are amazing. At least in the face of a volcanic eruption, the fact that it can resist disaster 100% is astonishing enough.

Just like Ma Gu's notes, what's written on paper doesn't lie.

Finally, seeing Ma Fei's hurried handwriting and the note about his trip to Hualian County to report on his work, Su Mo had some guesses about the abandonment of Liangfang Town.

Ma Fei is indeed dead, and he died outside.

As for why this situation has come to this, one can see some clues from the increasingly scarce goods and fees charged by different tribes each time.

The disasters are getting more and more severe.

Moreover, the types and characteristics of the disasters seem to have changed, far exceeding previous human predictions.

The transformation from a geological disaster to Biological Virus represents such a huge leap that it is extremely difficult to quickly establish a response mechanism.

Resources are needed not only by humans but also by other races. If this balance is ever broken, the two sides will inevitably fight to the death.

Yan Country's technology has reached a bottleneck. After developing the Sky Dome Barrier horizontally, it has made no progress for a long time and has remained stagnant, with no one knowing what it is doing.

Given this predicament, at a certain point in time, when the critical value of the disaster exceeded the tolerance of the Sky Dome Barrier of Liangfang Town, it was only natural that people would migrate without the management of Mayor Ma Fei.

"Biological Virus? I thought this kind of thing only appeared in movies, but I didn't expect to see it in the wasteland."

"The Sky Dome Barrier can only defend against external natural disasters, but it's completely helpless against this kind of human-to-human transmissible virus!"

As Su Mo carefully examined Ma Fei's description of the Biological Virus, a chill ran through him.

The Mutated Creature outside the Sky Dome Barrier are not real; they are images of the outside world recorded during the final contraction of the barrier.

Without any administrator's control, and with energy dwindling, maintaining the white light disguise in the weak points consumed too much energy, so they began playing these pre-stored images of the outside world.

"Good heavens, if all the creatures are driven to the New Continent and Biological Virus breaks out, there's nowhere to run away."

"So this was the ultimate purpose of this migration, how ruthless!"

Closing the Town Chief Handbook and looking at the gloomy house, Su Mo couldn't help but tremble.

But this trembling is not fear.

On the contrary, I'm excited!
