Rebirth of the Legend of the Red Age

Chapter 331, Ocean Changes

Autumn came in the blink of an eye. The environment outside the city was even worse. The trees were generally over 5 meters tall. The short shrubs no longer existed. They were all small trees of 10 to meters in height. The weeds were more than one meter tall.

Not to mention the animals in the wild, whose attack power and size are far beyond human imagination.

Highways are now basically unusable for transportation between cities, because most of them have been severely damaged by plants and animals, making it almost impossible for vehicles to pass through.

Another thing is that cars are relatively small in size, and even trucks have no advantage over today's animals, and the risk factor is relatively high.

As for airplanes, because high-tech electronic products cannot be used after the weather changes, the performance of airplanes has dropped sharply. In addition, the attack capabilities of birds are now even more exaggerated, making it impossible for ordinary airplanes to fly.

Nowadays, transportation between cities mainly relies on trains. In order to ensure local control, the government has tried every means to eliminate all plants within 50 meters on both sides of the railway tracks, completely creating a vacuum zone.

In addition, the train itself is huge in size, can be equipped with powerful attack weapons, and can carry more powerful humans, so it can barely run.

Even so, rail transportation is often interrupted because the tracks are often damaged by large animals, and it takes a lot of effort to continue operations.

Taking the train has now become a very luxurious behavior, the main reason is that the operating and maintenance costs are too high.

This has also led to a sharp decrease in population mobility. If it were not for the telephone, telegraph and railway connections, the central government of Dragon Kingdom would have lost its ability to control the local areas long ago, and it would have easily led to the apocalyptic chaos described in the novel.

But thanks to the foundation and strength of the Longguo government, these foundations for maintaining social stability have been preserved, so that society is not so chaotic.

But what is mentioned here is not particularly confusing, it mainly refers to inland areas. Because now all the big cities near the ocean have completed their migration to inland areas.

As they migrated, a large buffer zone was left between humans and the ocean. This was caused because plants and animals underwent tremendous changes after the dramatic changes in the world.

As the ocean with the richest biological resources on the blue planet, the changes that have taken place are even more astonishing. Take the whale, the largest marine creature in the past, for example. Before the great changes, the largest whale was only more than 200 meters long. However, after the great changes, through observations with telescopes, giant whales over meters in size have appeared in the coastal areas.

It should be noted here that at this time the navies of various countries had become completely useless, because the ocean was too dangerous and no country's warships dared to leave the port.

It is precisely because of the drastic changes in marine life that marine life often attacks coastal cities.

As a result, the coastal cities that were originally the most economically developed suffered the most serious losses and were the most chaotic in society.

Even the original Demon City has been relocated hundreds of miles inland to rebuild the city.

In short, looking at the whole country, except for some cities that were originally close to the ocean, which still have some unrest, other inland cities have become stable.

Of course, the stability mentioned here refers to the stability of the overall environment. It is normal for some agricultural reclamation corps that are often attacked by wild beasts, as well as the protection departments of transportation, to have deaths.

In particular, the Agricultural Reclamation Corps was in a state of stagnation two years ago. The reason was that they had little experience in dealing with wild beasts and the fortress protection measures were not good enough.

This resulted in a serious reduction in grain production in those two years, forcing the entire Long Kingdom to tighten its belt for a long time.

During that time, because of the preparations made by the Wang family in advance, just like during the previous famine, when others were not able to get enough food, the Wang family still lived comfortably.

They also used most of their resources to help their close family and friends get through the difficult times.

It was also during that period that the Wang family's reputation was once again raised, and Wang Li's eldest son, Wang Jianguo, had more influence in the team.
