Butler Qin came over with a broom to clean up. He Xiaobei felt it was a pity and finally fed it to Lightning.

Lightning's tail shook violently, not only eating the chick, but also licking the egg liquid clean.

At this time, He Xiaobei remembered that he seemed to have read on the Internet before that cats like to eat eggs and drink milk.

He had enough of these things in his own space, so he instructed Butler Qin to add a little milk and eggs to Lightning's meal every day.

But she didn't forget to tease him while stroking the lightning:

"Look at you. You eat and drink the best food every day, but it doesn't help at all."

"Every day, you eat and sleep, and you don't spend much time with me."

"Look at Yingying, now she can really guard the house and fight at the same time."

Lightning's tail stopped wagging, and he looked at her as if she were a scumbag, and even howled at her a few times:

"Before, you said I didn't need any use for it, but now that you have a tree, you despise cats, don't you?"

Unlike Yingying, Lightning is not able to communicate with He Xiaobei and express her thoughts. When Lightning calls, she relies entirely on guessing the other party's intentions.

He Xiaobei can guess the good things, but never guesses the bad things.

While the man and the cat were communicating, He Xiaobei's ears moved, and then he looked up at the roof. A drop of rain hit the ice outside the house.

Thinking of this, she paused petting the cat, then waved her hand to put the lightning into the space, and walked outside.

Qian Chenxi and Qin Yuan had reminded her early on that after the volcanic ash effect, substances such as sulfides and cyanides would combine with water vapor in the atmosphere, and coupled with the influence of atmospheric circulation, the current rain would most likely be acid rain.

Although this is the Arctic, the Ph value of acid rain is low and it will still fall in sub-zero temperatures.

He Xiaobei took out two sets of protective clothing, one for himself and one for the bodyguard.

When I went out, the rain was falling lightly, but not heavily.

She first arrived under the Yingying tree. Before she could ask, the X-shaped branches quickly stretched out in front of her, and He Xiaobei happily put it into the space.

Then she looked at her chicken coop and felt a little sorry for it. She had decorated it carefully and even put a small blanket in it.

But the chicks haven't hatched yet, so just pack up the things inside and rebuild the damaged igloo. It's a piece of cake.

Although acidic substances may lower the melting point of ice, in the Arctic, with such little acid rain, the ice may not melt as she expected.

For three days straight, the acid rain continued to fall in a sparse manner, making people very annoyed. It would be better to just let it rain directly and thoroughly, which is really torturous.

He Xiaobei would get up every day and use a telescope to observe the situation outside. After the rain, the haze was much smaller than before, and the visibility was also much higher than before.

The vehicles from several nearby scientific research bases have not been out for three days, and those who have just landed have little supplies on them, so they are afraid that they will not have an easy time.

Perhaps in a few days those “human traffickers” in the camp will not be able to control the situation, and even their own supplies may be lost.

The food is actually not bad, and sometimes I can bear being hungry.

However, with the continuous pollution of acid rain, the days when one could quench thirst by simply grabbing some snow from the mountains are gone. Now it is extremely difficult to drink a sip of clean water.

The Arctic had plenty of water before the acid rains, but many inland areas had already been suffering from severe drought. He Xiaobei had been at the Kyoto base, so he didn't feel anything.

Although the fresh water resources underground in the base are not as abundant as they were after the extreme heat, they are still sufficient for daily drinking.

But people in the wild will drink any kind of water. Not to mention water, if they are really thirsty, they will drink other liquids as well.

The acid rain is not very heavy now. If we collect some ice and snow immediately, we may have some to drink in the future. But if the acid rain lasts for a long time, it will be completely impossible to get water from the ground.

As He Xiaobei expected, five days later, before she even got up, she heard faint gunshots coming from the foot of the mountain.

After putting on protective clothing, he immediately went out to check the situation.

At a glance, at least several hundred people were gathered outside Hans's research base, shouting. Sounds traveled farther in the rain, so He Xiaobei didn't have to get close enough to hear what they were shouting.

"Open the door, you have to save us, we are one country."

"Give me some water to drink. If I don't drink any water, I'm really going to die."
