When the heavy rain in Norgate first began, no one expected it to last so long. This clearly abnormal weather was, at the time, confined to the vicinity of Norgate. Central City, Southreach, and even the Dead City were unaffected.
But in Central City, when Academician Warren of the Research Institute heard the news, he closed his eyes and sank into deep thought for a long time. Nadia, his new disciple, couldn't help but ask worriedly, "Professor, are you alright?"
"Don't worry, these old bones of mine can still hold up." Academician Warren opened his eyes, wearily rubbing the bridge of his nose. "However, we need to request permission from the Government. We must send people to Norgate to bring back local soil and water samples."
Nadia breathed a sigh of relief and nodded. "You're right. This rain in Norgate is very strange. I can't shake the feeling that something has happened."
