Chapter 54 Rain

The torrential rain lasted for almost a whole day.

Perhaps because of the scorching heat that lasted for a whole month, leaving Ning City barren, the rain came as a form of revenge.

Ji Zai waited for a whole day.

The rain finally stopped.

The moment the rain stopped, she pushed open the door, and a wave of heat hit her. As soon as she stepped outside, she saw a puddle of rainwater.

Looking into the distance, all that could be seen was a blanket of white mist.

After she opened one door, another door opened.

Ji Zai subconsciously looked over, "Xue Nai?"

Yukina shook her head. "I think I slept for a long time, so I came out on purpose. My head is still a little dizzy."

The timing of Xue Nai's illness was almost the same as that of Nan Yao.

She's feeling really uncomfortable because she hasn't moved in so long.

But compared to the time I was sick.

She felt that this was already paradise.

Ji Zai thought of Liang Qiyue and sighed, "You're lucky, at least you've woken up. There are still many people who are still unconscious."

The two looked at each other for a while.

Then suddenly he moved closer, squinting as he stared at the other person.

Then I breathed a sigh of relief.

Ji Zai grasped Xue Nai's hand and wept bitterly, "Heroine, I almost forgot what you looked like. This past month has been far too long, far too long, to the point that I had forgotten what you used to look like!"

She clenched her fist, then smelled a scent and quickly moved ten meters away from Xue Nai.

Looking at Yukina, who had become unrecognizable.

Ji Zai couldn't help but say, "Time is a cruel mistress. In just one month, you've become so ugly. Your eyes are sunken, your gaze is unfocused, and you even smell bad."

"If I didn't remember your voice, I would have thought you had been in the junkyard for a month."

Upon hearing this, Xue Nai sneered a few times, "Don't I know I'm ugly and smelly? But is that something I can decide? This damn heat has robbed me of my beauty and dignity."

"Leaving behind only a smelly me."

Her face contorted in pain. "One day, I will be reborn, and I will make Wen Gao kneel before me, weeping bitterly!"

Ji Zai was shocked. "Heroine, are you planning to conquer the heatwave?"

Xue Nai sneered, "You wish! I was just saying. High temperatures are something no human can conquer."

"Unless you're like central air conditioning."

Ji Zai was speechless. "Then why did you say that..."

"I'm just venting. I can't beat the heat, but I can still curse a bit. The heat is like a jerk, making my dignity vanish in the wind."

The record was greatly shocked.

Then I realized the female knight-errant was right.

After all, besides helplessly complaining about the high temperature, all they could do was suffer under its torment.

As they were arguing, Nan Yao pushed open the door and came out.

Upon seeing her, Ji Zai asked, "How is the president?"

"She's asleep; she's too weak to get up."

Ji Zai nodded, and then smelled a mysterious odor.

She covered her nose and backed away twenty meters. "Oh my god, it stinks!"

Upon hearing this, Nan Yao's face darkened. Her hair was greasy, and she looked very unkempt.

She knows she's stinky.

You don't need to say it in front of her!

Nan Yao looked at Ji Zai with a gloomy expression, "Alliance Leader, we're both equally stinky. If you don't want others to know about this dark history, you'd better shut up, or we'll both perish."

Everyone is cooped up in air-conditioned rooms.

I haven't showered for a month, just like everyone else.

No one should look down on anyone else.

Ji Zai went to open the fire hydrant, and sure enough, there was no water.

She wiped her greasy hair, despairing, "My God, there's no water, there's really no water, this is terrible!"

The fire hydrants were finally completely exhausted.

This means that the dormitory's water supply has reached a dead end.

They can't wash their hair or take a bath; they can only watch helplessly as they become smelly.

Thinking of this, Ji Zai was filled with despair.

"Oh my God! Are we really going to smell bad? No way, that would be awful."

Now I know the truth.

Nan Yao and Xue Naitian both collapsed, their eyes trembling.

You know, they already smell bad enough.

Does it have to keep smelling like this forever?

Oh my god.

I'm too ashamed to face anyone.

Upon realizing the lack of water, everyone present, including Ji Zai, was completely stunned.

The three people looked at each other in bewilderment.

Then Ji Zai ran his hair, which was so oily it could be used for frying vegetables, took a sniff, and almost fainted. "It really stinks! Now there's no hope left. God, how cruel you are."

You can smell a odor as soon as you get close.

Ji Zai dislikes himself now.

I've never seen myself look so disheveled.

The blankets, pillows, and mattress all stank.

If you don't wash it, you can't use it later.

Ji Zai lamented, "It's truly a disaster."

Before she could even react, she saw a beam of light that looked like it was being photographed, followed by a series of crackling sounds.

Look over there.

Then, Xue Nai, looking disheveled, said seriously, "Let's take a picture to remember this moment and show everyone just how disheveled it is to not shower or wash your hair for a month."

This is truly a once-in-a-lifetime event.

If it were in the past...

Who would have thought that there would be situations in the South where people couldn't even take a shower?

This is a once-in-a-millennium occurrence.

Upon hearing this, Ji Zai felt even more desperate. "The water we have now can only last us about half a month. If we can't find a water source within half a month, we won't be able to handle our sanitation problems and we'll get bacterial infections."

I longed to come out during the previous high temperatures.

However, after the high temperature...

We must consider practical issues.

Everyone's probably sick now.

Only a handful of people managed to get out.

If they don't bathe for a long time, they will become breeding grounds for bacteria.

Perhaps we don't need to wait for the zombie virus to break out.

They were filthy to death.

Nan Yao frowned and straightened herself up. "Indeed, we're very dirty right now. Even the blankets and other personal items in the dorm are filthy. If we don't wash them soon, we'll get a bacterial infection."

Ji Zai frowned as he pondered.

She looked at the rainwater on the ground, which had almost soaked the floor, but the rainwater was too dangerous to use now.

After a moment, Xue Nai asked, "Is air conditioning water okay?"

Upon hearing this, Ji Zai shook his head, "It won't work. Air conditioner water is condensate, and condensate is soft water. It doesn't contain the minerals that our bodies need."

"But in an emergency, it can be used after disinfection."

"I still don't recommend it unless you're at your wit's end."

Hearing Ji Zai say this, Xue Nai was somewhat disappointed.

She stood helplessly on the balcony, frowning. "That really is a big problem."

Ji Zai also sighed.

The scene was quiet for a moment.

In the stillness, a roar came from somewhere.

Upon hearing this voice, Ji Zai's expression changed, and he blurted out, "Zombie!"
