Most of the people at the foot of the mountain were still venting their inner dissatisfaction, and also pinning their hopes on the fact that the gate of the scientific research base would eventually open to them.

Some people have begun to form small groups and move away from the crowd, finding a place to settle down and starting to build stone houses.

But just when they started to build it, there was movement in the research base.

The base expressed its willingness to recruit a group of 80 workers, with the requirement still being that they must be under 35 years old and in good health.

After hearing this, a group of people immediately rushed to the gate of the base, not caring about the occasional acid rain falling from the sky, and blocked the door with screams.

Many people even raised their hands. When the acid rain hit their skin, it would turn red and blister in a short while. If it was treated in time, it would not be too serious.

But given current conditions, it's impossible to find a competent doctor, let alone clean water to rinse. Burned skin can only fester and become inflamed over time, leading to high fever and even death.

The people in the base didn't care about it at all. They just opened a small hole that was barely big enough for one person to get in. The moment the hole was opened, there was a gun pointed at the entrance.

People are only allowed to enter one by one, and the next person will be called in only after inspection. Anyone who dares to trespass will be killed the moment he puts his head in.

He Xiaobei was astonished. This hole might have been the entrance and exit for the large police dogs that used to be raised in the base. The people nowadays were so skinny that they could easily get through the hole.

The people inside the scientific research base were leisurely strolling around, while the people outside the gate were so exhausted from thinking about getting into this dog hole that their brains were beaten into dog brains.

Only 80 people could be recruited from a team of hundreds or thousands of people, not to mention how many people finally got in. The fighting outside was very scary, with constant gunfire, and more than 80 people died.

The noise of fighting outside even caused laughter from people inside the wall.

When the first person lay down, some people who were extremely hungry and thirsty pounced on him immediately and sucked frantically at the bleeding part of the corpse with their mouths.

The smart people also reacted at this time and began to secretly drag the corpse away from the team. As for what they were dragging it away for, it was naturally to be eaten by someone.

For a moment, the people outside fought more fiercely, and all the resentment, despair, and anger in their hearts burst out.

In the end, it was the people inside the base who stopped the brutal fight. The base said that although they could not accept so many people for the time being, they could set aside an area for them outside the base and provide them with several plastic sheets to keep them out of the rain and cold.

Sometimes, when conditions permit, they would even be given some drinking water to tide them over, and only then would this group of people slowly put down their weapons.

It is impossible to provide food. No place can claim to have sufficient food right now, but it is no problem to filter some clean water within the scientific research base.

Finally, the outside of the base became completely quiet. There were a lot of plastic sheets provided inside the base. The desperate people just covered themselves with the plastic sheets, while those who still had hope in their hearts began to build simple shacks.

Some survivors passed by the team that built the stone house before, and began to build their own homes by imitating them.

Suddenly, a shrill howl was heard, followed by other people's screams one after another, and along with the sound, there was the crackling sound of raindrops hitting the ground.

The rain suddenly got heavier, from a drizzle to a heavy downpour, and the wind was howling.

People’s previous means of defending against acid rain instantly became ineffective. Those who had built shacks and fixed boards were fine, but those who covered themselves were instantly blown away by the strong wind.

Those who had no boards to shelter themselves from the wind and rain began to snatch others' raincoats or plastic sheets. In panic, they tore each other's clothes, and most of them were torn to pieces, so no one could use them.

But human nature is often bad. When he can't get what he wants, he takes it out on you. If he doesn't have a raincoat, he will just start to take off your outer clothes. The skin of the person whose clothes are taken off is exposed to the heavy acid rain.

The heavy rain hit their faces and bodies, just like someone poured a bucket of boiling water on them.

The burning pain spread throughout his body, and within a few breaths he collapsed to the ground. He struggled to his feet, reaching out to nearby survivors. Everyone retreated to avoid him, and after a few more steps, he collapsed into the rain again, unable to stand up.

“Ahhhhhh, save me, please save me…”

The sound changed from miserable at the beginning to as thin as a mosquito, and finally faded into the rain.

People are not killed directly by acid rain, as heavy acid rain cannot reach this level.

However, people are vulnerable to long-term malnutrition, coupled with tremendous mental stimulation, due to the pain and mental collapse in the presence of concentrated acid with a pH value close to 4.
