Chapter 255 The Flood Erupts
At midnight.

The countdown has ended, and the primordial era has officially begun.
The moment the flood broke out, the entire misty world seemed to fall into apocalyptic chaos.
Dark clouds rolled across the sky, thunder roared and lightning flashed, and torrential rain poured down, as if the entire sky were cascading down.
Moreover, from an unseen underground source, water of unknown origin, aided by a mysterious force, rapidly surged towards the surface.
Whether it's the ocean, islands, land, forests, plains, or deserts, all kinds of terrain and landforms display completely different scenes under the impact of floods.
Although it was midnight, few people could sleep peacefully. The survivors, in their desperate struggle for survival, employed various methods and made ample preparations to cope with this disaster.
The once calm sea quickly turned violent under the onslaught of the torrential rain, with waves roaring like giant beasts as they crashed into anything floating, even islands.
Some islands are low-lying and were submerged almost immediately upon the onset of the flood.
Survivors could only climb to the tops of trees or high places on buildings in an attempt to escape the flood. However, as the water level continued to rise, trees and buildings were gradually submerged, and many people were swallowed by the flood in despair.
Those shelters built on high islands, even if they can withstand the impact of the waves, appear precarious under the slowly rising sea level.
Another group of survivors were also well-prepared, as their shelters were bound to form stones, and their second form was the ship form.
When the floodwaters rise, these shelters quickly activate, transforming into floating boats that rise and fall with the waves, managing to survive the raging sea despite the turbulent conditions.
However, the waves were much higher than they had imagined, and many level 3 and even some level 4 ship-shaped shelters were capsized. Survivors were thrown into the icy sea and desperately clung to the floating wreckage.
Some shelters, lacking the ship-like functionality, were directly swallowed by the giant waves.
Survivors have no choice but to abandon their shelters and rely on their pets, which can fly or float on water, to save their lives.
However, what's worse is that the flood disaster is not just a simple matter of flooding.
The turbulent water was filled with a large amount of rubble, tree debris, and even ferocious beasts swept in by the flood.
Not only did they have to fight the floods, but they also had to face these sudden threats. Many shelters were directly destroyed by huge, ferocious beasts, and survivors were swallowed up amidst their desperate screams.
Some survivor shelters have special features, such as the ability to deploy a waterproof barrier or float directly in the air.
These shelters became "lifeboats" on the island, attracting a large number of survivors seeking help.
Some survivors chose to build makeshift rafts or small boats. However, the giant waves at sea rendered these rudimentary tools ineffective, and many were swallowed by the waves during their escape.
......
Survivors on land were not spared either. Floods surged in from all directions, and low-lying areas were submerged first, turning once lush, dry lands into a swamp in an instant.
Some shelters built on higher ground have temporarily escaped the floodwaters. However, as water levels continue to rise, these higher grounds also face the risk of being submerged.
......
The survivors in the forest, however, were not immediately overwhelmed, but faced a different predicament.
The floodwaters poured down the mountain, quickly inundating the low-lying forest areas. Trees became the survivors' only refuge, and they climbed to the treetops in an attempt to escape the flood.
However, the force of the flood was too strong, and many trees were uprooted, with the survivors being swept away along with them.
......
Survivors on the plains have virtually no advantage in terms of terrain. Floods surged in from all directions, quickly turning the entire plain into a vast expanse of water.
......
The desert survivors initially believed they could escape the threat of flooding, but they soon discovered they were terribly wrong. Torrential rains turned the desert into a swamp, and the floodwaters quickly submerged the dunes, transforming the entire desert into a vast expanse of water.
Some shelters built on the sand dunes temporarily escaped the floods. However, as the floods continued, even the shelters on the dunes became unsafe.
......
In this flood disaster, survivors used all sorts of ingenious methods to stay alive.
Mo Ming didn't sleep. He sat by the window of his second-floor bedroom, staring blankly at the torrential rain outside, constantly analyzing all the possible scenarios in his mind.
"Shangshang, open the barrier! Don't let the water and debris from outside impact the territory!"
Suddenly struck by a brilliant idea, Mo Ming craned his neck and shouted loudly towards Shang Shang, who was rooted in the courtyard downstairs.
With the advantage of high altitude, coupled with his superior King of the Realms talent, his Sky Island might be the safest place in this flood disaster, given the current situation.
No matter how much the sea level rises, it can't possibly threaten the altitude of nearly a thousand meters!
Beep beep!
The bracelet suddenly beeped.
"Hey!"
"Hey! You're still alive!"
You seem disappointed?
"Tch! You don't know what's good for you. I was just showing you concern!"
"Oh, thank you so much!"
"You're welcome. What can I do? I'm just so kind, beautiful, generous, and understanding..."
"That's enough, there's a limit to bragging... Let's get down to business, how's your shelter doing?" Mo Ming sighed and touched his forehead, changing the subject.
"A shelter? That's good, nothing should happen! I have a secret weapon..."
Here we go again, damn it, are you a secret weapons wholesaler?
"Another secret weapon? Can you tell me what kind of secret weapon it is?"
"Since you've asked so sincerely, I'll mercifully tell you. The secret weapon is... ta-da... ta-da..."
As soon as he finished speaking, Mo Ming received a screenshot from Song Yufei.
[Water-Avoiding Golden-Eyed Beast: Radiant Orange Level]
Introduction: The Water-Avoiding Golden-Eyed Beast possesses a special ability that allows it to completely envelop everything within a certain range of itself in a special domain.
Within this domain, water is repelled by a mysterious force, creating an absolutely dry space from which neither floods, torrential rains, nor the pressure of the deep sea can penetrate.
"Awesome! The Bull Demon King's awesomeness!"
Mo Ming couldn't help but be a little surprised. What kind of luck was this? He even managed to run into Old Niu's Water-Avoiding Golden-Eyed Beast.
It must be a coincidence, just that they have the same name and similar abilities...
"Hehe, you've seen it. By the way, how's it going on your end? Don't tell me you have a similar ferocious beast? It took me a lot of effort to tame this Water-Avoiding Golden-Eyed Beast."
"I don't have that, but the description would be too weak. I can only say... my shelter is located in a very high position!"
"Tall? How tall?"
"Gao Cuilan's tall!"
"..."
