The sky in the wasteland is still that dim yellow color, and between the sky and the earth, after the ice and snow melted, the land once again returned to the emerald green everywhere. Pin Shu (w W W . V o Dtw . c o M)
After the severe winter in the city, after the extreme cold, the steel forest that used to be is now a little more humid and depressed.
Covered by heavy snow and ultra-low temperature, those cities that are no longer inhabited and maintained are gradually being replaced by weeds.
A large amount of ice and snow melted in the city, bringing dust and mud along with the melted snow, covering every corner of the city, even the gaps in those urban buildings.
Even those high-rise buildings are the same. The cold air condenses the moisture in the building cement into ice, causing the gaps between the cement to expand, and the dust brought in gathers inside.
Vigorous weeds are gradually covering the entire city. In the wasteland of Iraq, where Cai Ruichen can observe near the base, except for the re-inhabited counties of Erle and Moza, other cities , all weeds growing up everywhere.
Before last year's cold winter, Mosul, which looked like a new city, seemed to have aged thirty or forty years after half a year of cold winter, becoming a very old man.
Weeds thrive in cities, even on concrete streets.
In just three months, there was only this single species of weed left in the entire land, which looked a bit like grass.
After growing during the day, from just sprouting in the cold winter to the present, these weeds, which present a piece of verdant green between the sky and the earth, have grown to a height of half a meter.
Super exuberant life, even just a handful of soil in one hand, can make a weed like this grow super lush.
Cai Ruichen has also made in-depth research on this weed that occupies the wasteland world. This weed is just a very ordinary plant, and it has no other characteristics at all except that it grows with viruses that absorb the air.
After this weed is transplanted into a closed space, all the viruses in the space are absorbed. Weeds will slowly wither.
So far, Cai Ruichen has not discovered the means of reproduction of this weed, and the roots do not have the ability to grow separately.
On dry land, even if it is meaningless sand and gravel, without any watering, as long as there is air virus, this kind of vegetation can continue to grow.
And the vitality of this weed is very strong. There is no difficulty in surviving even in deserts, and it can also grow in water. I haven't seen such vegetation in the sea yet.
It is also because of this characteristic that such weeds can quickly survive in the city and become the most powerful killer of the city in the wasteland.
According to inferences, it will take less than ten years for all cities in the world to be completely covered by this weed.
The buildings in the city will also be due to the lack of human care, and the extreme weather of high temperature and severe cold. Most of the buildings in the city will collapse at an extremely fast speed.
This is nothing to the current human beings, because there are not many human beings who can live in these cities.
Even if all the cities in the world are gone, it will not have any impact on the current existence of human beings.
But one thing is certain, for those mutants in the city. This is definitely not good news.
Qianhe had said earlier that she didn't like these growing weeds, and all the mutants under Qianhe's command also disliked these weeds very much.
But the mutants never thought of clearing these weeds in the past, and they were still ordinary mutants in the city every day. wandering aimlessly.
Cai Ruichen is not very interested in this kind of vegetation. Perhaps it is just a variety of every vegetation on the earth mutated under the virus.
For the normal existence of human beings at present,
It will not bring any negative effects, and even because of its ability to absorb viruses, it is still a beneficial herb in the current wasteland environment.
but. Whether it is really beneficial to the future of mankind, Cai Ruichen is not sure, and neither can anyone else.
Because for this kind of vegetation, it can only be described by God, as for others, there are still many unclear points.
Therefore, Cai Ruichen only asks people to remove the weeds that affect the normal living environment. For those weeds in the wild, there is no need to specially clean them up.
But for cities, this weed is the king of destruction. At this moment, Cai Ruichen stood on the wall built around Mosul, looking at the city in front of him that he almost didn't recognize.
The city, under the big reinforced concrete forest, is covered with vegetation, all of which are all weeds, making the withered city a little more green.
Even the wide main road in Mosul is almost covered by this kind of vegetation. The height of weeds exceeds the tires of the cars piled up in disorder, and weeds even grow up on the shriveled car bodies.
A city that has lost humans for more than three years has become a huge garbage dump, and the environment that no one takes care of is becoming primitive.
If this time continues for another ten or twenty years, I am afraid that the huge city in front of me will completely disappear, and there will be no evidence of the existence of the city anymore.
In front of my eyes, there is already a little outline of the future city completely disappearing, so desolate that it seems that I have come to a society that has completely lost human beings in an instant.
Everything is dead still, and of course, mutants are no longer human.
In the city in front of me, the only things that can be moved are those mutants who seem to be doing routine work every day. Other things have not been moved for several years.
On both sides of the street, there are neon signboards that have rusted to the point of dangling. The screws locked on the outer wall of the building have all been loosened. Driven by the airflow, there is a piercing sound of metal friction. No one knows these huge signboards in the next second , will not fall.
On the surface of the wall, the beautiful tiles are gradually losing their original luster under the ultra-low temperature in the cold winter. There are more criss-cross cracks on the surface of the cement, and the wet traces of water in the wall are spreading on the wall at a very slow speed.
"In another twenty years, all the cities in this world will not exist." Looking at Mosul in front of him, Cai Ruichen felt a little sad, and said with emotion.
Cities all over the world cannot escape the fate similar to Mosul before them. These cities built with countless costs are destined to become a thing of the past. (To be continued.)
