Chapter 292 Force
Motown's relocation policy did not progress smoothly at first.

After all, no one wants to leave the hometown where they've lived most of their life.

But an unexpected event soon occurred, forcing them to relocate.

Because it's raining.

This is not ordinary rain.

The guards at the city gate are checking caravans entering the city.

In the past two days, I've heard that Motown has fully recovered and merchant caravans from other places are gradually returning.

Upon seeing the familiar guards, the caravan leader stepped forward to greet them.

The two began to chat familiarly.

"You're the first to enter the city, that's pretty fast," the guard joked.

The caravan was led by a portly middle-aged man who smiled like Maitreya Buddha.

He doesn't seem shrewd, and has a somewhat simple and honest demeanor.

He spoke with a smile on his face.

However, this time it was a bitter smile.

"The road was not safe, and the rain was strange. I spent a lot of money to get here as quickly as possible."

The guard glanced at the weather and said, "The rain isn't heavy, why are you in such a hurry?"

The rain was sparse and didn't seem to be heavy.

The middle-aged man said helplessly, "The rain isn't heavy, but the water is strange. It stings when it gets on people. My trucks are full of fresh fruits and vegetables, and I can't let them get wet."

Although the guards had a good relationship with him, they didn't let their guard down during the inspection.

He opened and inspected each car one by one.

They discovered that some fruits and vegetables were indeed rotten, amounting to more than half a truckload.

Fresh fruits and vegetables aren't cheap these days; it's heartbreaking to see them so expensive.

No new caravans entered the city afterward, and the guards weren't in a hurry, continuing to chat with the middle-aged man.

"How come so many things are broken? We've never encountered anything like this in previous years."

The guards have been standing at this gate for over ten years and are very familiar with these caravan captains.

They know perfectly well who is a smiling tiger, who is generous, and who has strong connections.

The middle-aged man, named Scott, was experienced, kind, and generous.

They were very cooperative during the examination.

The guards love this kind of person.

Once Scott finished the inspection, he told his men to hurry into the city, fearing they would get wet in the rain again.

This city has a high-level city-state protective shield, and the weather in the city is like spring all year round.

Sure enough, as soon as they entered the city, the rain was kept outside the protective shield.

As the guard looked at the rain, a bad feeling suddenly welled up in his heart.

The original caravans from Mo City used to line up for a long time at the gate, but no new caravans arrived until the afternoon.

Instead, the rain started to get heavier.

Occasionally, families would come from outside the city.

But they were in a hurry, looked disheveled, and had red spots all over their bodies.

The guards almost thought they had a contagious disease and were afraid to let them in.

They pleaded, "Sir, no one in our family is sick; it's just that we got caught in the rain."

The gaunt old man knelt down and begged the guard, "Sir, there really are no sick people in our family. If you don't believe me, look at my grandson. He's clean and healthy."

He pointed behind him, where a young mother and child stood.

The child looked to be less than a year old and was being held in his mother's arms.

Beside the woman stood a man, holding an umbrella for them.

This umbrella is also very worn out, with several holes.

But because there was a piece of clothing draped over the umbrella, no raindrops fell.

The woman looked earnest; her arms were wet with rain and had red spots.

But the child's body, face, and neck were all completely clean.

The guard was unsure what to do, so he simply called over a young man and said, "Go and fetch the doctor from the clinic so he can take a look."

There was only one clinic in Mo City, which was easy to find. The guard looked at the children with a bit of pity. "You can take shelter from the rain here first, but you can't go into the city. If something happens, I can't take responsibility."

Although they couldn't enter the city, they could take shelter from the rain under the city walls.

The family expressed their gratitude profusely and nodded quickly.

The guards stood under the city wall, protected from the rain.

He tentatively rolled up his sleeves and used his hands to catch the rainwater outside.

Sure enough, I felt a burning pain shortly afterward.

Red spots began to appear in the areas that had been rained on.

He felt a little relieved; it seemed the family wasn't lying.

But soon he realized something was wrong.

This rain is so strange; people outside the city will definitely be affected.

Caravans also cause delays in the journey.

"No, I have to report this message right away."

News of the strange rain quickly reached Ji Jia.

She is in charge of guarding Mo City and has been busy establishing her authority and training the guards these past two days.

I didn't have time to watch the channels, so I just turned them off.

Upon receiving the news, she immediately realized that this might be a new natural disaster!

When she opened the channel, she found that everyone was discussing this matter.

This rain hurts so much!

Stop talking, I'm such an idiot, I went out in a short-sleeved shirt and already got a lesson in manners.

I feel like I've turned into a fish that's been boiled until it's red-hot.

This isn't rain, it's clearly sulfuric acid!

sulfuric acid?

The moment this word appeared, it quickly brought another word to mind.

[Is this going to be acid rain?]

Help! Things only calmed down a few days ago!

Don't forget, this is a survival game, how can it possibly be peaceful? XD

If it really is acid rain, it's just causing red spots and a bit of pain.

In a few days, it will probably really turn into sulfuric acid.

Ning Yun also saw these messages.

Motown has a high-level protective shield, which should be able to protect the residents.

But those villagers who still live outside the city are likely to suffer.

"Pass down the order: everyone must relocate and move into the city today!"

We can't worry about that now; if even one person dies, the prosperity of Mo City will be affected.

With its prosperity level low, Namo City's upgrade to level four seems a long way off.

Furthermore, Ning Yun did not regard the residents of Mo City as NPCs.

These people are all living, breathing human beings.

Having the ability to save them but choosing not to is not Ning Yun's style.

She immediately ordered the guards to bring all the villagers back today, while the acid rain was still relatively mild.

If you encounter a caravan on the road, protect them and ensure their safe arrival in Mo City.

Upon receiving the order, Ji Jia immediately summoned all the guards!

"An army is trained for a thousand days, but used for only one! I have seen everyone's training these past two days, and now it is time to test the results!"

She divided the guard into ten teams, eight of which were responsible for going to eight villages and bringing the villagers back to the city.

The other two squads patrolled outside the city, persuading any caravans or lone individuals they encountered to return to the city.

If they don't listen, then enforce it!

Make sure the task is completed today!
After these few days of grueling training, the guards obeyed Ji Jia's orders almost unconditionally!

The entire Mo City Guard was mobilized, making a great show of force that could be seen by all the city's residents.

People were talking amongst themselves, "Why are there so many people? Is there going to be a war?"
