Chapter 36 The Smelly Rain

The next day.

Lu Nange was cooking porridge under the tree, while He Zhuo and Gu Wan helped her and studied at the same time.

The group discussed it and decided that it was impossible for the younger sister to take care of them all along the way, so everyone would learn to cook and take turns cooking.

Lu Xici, Chi Yanzhou, and the others wandered through every corner of the factory, searching for materials that could be used to repair the driver's side window of the RV.

The group searched the entire factory thoroughly but only found a few sheets of sheet metal.

"There's a toolbox in the RV. Let me take it out and see if you can find anything you need."

Lu Nange shoved the iron spoon into Gu Wan's hand and turned to rush towards the RV.

In no time, she returned quickly, carrying a heavy toolbox, the metal tools clanging together inside.

Chi Yanzhou stepped forward, took the toolbox, and handed it to Chi Yi.

Chi bent down and selected a rivet gun from the toolbox.

After moving among several rusty iron sheets, I finally chose the thickest one.

The rivet gun made a regular "click-clack" sound in his hand.

The driver's side window was sealed shut, making it completely dark.

After breakfast, everyone packed their things and set off.

"Boom!"

A streak of purple-white lightning tore through the sky, and the clear blue sky was swallowed up by rolling dark clouds in an instant.

A sudden gust of wind arose, causing the red-painted iron gate to tremble violently and creak.

The branches shook violently.

All I could hear was the whistling of the wind.

"Quick! Get in the car!"

Someone shouted.

Everyone packed up their things as quickly as possible, but they were still a step too late.

Large raindrops were already falling, and by the time they rushed into the RV, their clothes were damp and cold.

"Why is this rain...black?" He Zhu stared at the black water streaks winding down his arm.

Gu Wan suddenly bent over and gagged: "It stinks!"

Lu Nange watched as the black rainwater twisted and crawled on the glass—the black rain was coming!

Plants and animals mutate, zombies evolve, and humans awaken their superpowers.

He Zhuo suddenly covered his mouth and nose: "Damn, this rain really stinks!"

Gu Qi stared at the eerie black rain outside the window, his voice tense: "This color is strange, could it be poisonous?"

Lu Xici: "Nannan, you and Miss Gu go wash up first! I'll take Aye to the room to clean up and change clothes!"

The black rain continued into the night without stopping.

Outside the RV, the sound of rain continuously pounded against the metal body.

Lu Nange sat in the corner, her gaze occasionally sweeping over Chi Yanzhou—he was quieter than usual, his knuckles slightly white, as if he was trying to suppress his discomfort.

Late at night, when everyone was asleep, Lu Nange came out of her room and, as expected, Chi Yanzhou couldn't hold on any longer.

He leaned back in his chair, breathing heavily, his pale skin flushed with an unnatural redness.

The stray hairs on his forehead were soaked with cold sweat and stuck messily to his brow bone.

Lu Nange took out some fever reducers, poured a glass of warm water, and went over.

"Chi Yanzhou," she called him softly.

He slowly raised his eyes, the corners of his eyes burning red, his usually indifferent peach blossom eyes now misty with tears.

His gaze fell unfocused on her face, as if through a veil, unable to be concentrated.

She lifted the back of his neck, placed the pill between his lips, and pressed the rim of the cup against his burning fingertips: "Drink water."

His Adam's apple bobbed as he managed to swallow the pill, but he lost consciousness the next second.

Before he lost consciousness, he vaguely felt warm water slide down his dry throat and a cool touch on his forehead—like someone's palm gently covering him.

"Nan Nan, what's wrong with A Yan?"

Gu Qi's voice startled everyone in the car.

He Zhuo and Lu Xici rushed out of the room.

Chi Yi and Ji Xian flipped over from the driver's seat!

All eyes were fixed on Chi Yanzhou—his eyes were tightly closed, his face was so pale it was almost transparent, and it had a sickly flush.

Lu Nange: "He has a fever! I gave him fever-reducing medicine, and he just fell asleep!"

Lu Xici patted his younger sister's hair: "Nannan, go to sleep! Your brothers will handle this!"

She gave a soft "hmm," her fingertips unconsciously tracing the edge of the medicine box.

Lu Beiye rubbed his sleepy eyes and slowly shuffled to Lu Nange's feet.

He tilted his little face up and let out a soft yawn, his eyelashes still wet with sleepiness.

The little hand gently tugged at Lu Nange's clothes, the force weak but persistent.

Lu Nange leaned closer, and the little guy immediately opened his arms and hugged her neck, rubbing his warm little face against the crook of her neck.

After she straightened up, Lu Beiye whispered in her ear, "Sister, he should be awakening his superpower!"
