Chapter 239 Jinjiang Exclusive Release

Lu family.

The Li family, the Zhang family, Lu Xuan, Lu Qing and others stood in front of the large window in the Lu family's living room, watching the heavy rain outside.

The heavy and dense rain kept washing the awning outside the Lu family, making it impossible for people inside to see the situation outside, but the several drones released by Lu Xuan in advance clearly captured the changes brought about by the heavy rain.

Through the magnified screen, the people present could clearly see that the plastic awnings set up at the doorsteps of each house in the village had many tiny holes appearing under the highly acidic rain, and these holes were growing larger and more numerous at an extremely fast rate.

The Lu family’s awning is more sturdy than that of others. It is made of polycarbonate panels, the same as the processing shed outside the greenhouse.

However, this material also cannot withstand the corrosion of acid rain, but the corrosion rate is not as fast as cloth, and it can last about three to five days longer.

Zhang Chengming gasped. "Is acid rain so powerful? If someone goes out in the rain, won't their skin get soaked?"

Ye Ping, Wu Yinyin and other female relatives couldn't help but rub their arms when they heard this, "It shouldn't be that serious."

"That may not be the case." Lu Xuan said.

When it first started to rain, he took some rainwater and tested its composition using a tester he bought at the mall, and found that it was extremely corrosive.

Ordinary acid rain may only cause redness and itching of the skin, or in severe cases, blisters or rashes, but acid rain during the catastrophic period can actually cause skin ulcers.

Exposure to rain can cause permanent eye damage, and inhaling acid rain components or consuming food or water that has been exposed to acid rain can be life-threatening.

After hearing Lu Xuan's explanation, the others couldn't help but gasp.

The audience in the live broadcast room also shook their heads.

I thought that with last year's experience, this year's rainy season would be easier, but I didn't expect the disaster to escalate.

Li Jing asked worriedly, "So, we can't collect rainwater for use?"

It was understandable that their village had collected a lot of water in advance in order to sell it for business, but other disaster victims were just waiting for the rain so that they could have free access to water.

The rain is coming down now, but it is acid rain that corrodes the skin. You can’t even use it to take a shower, let alone drink it.

Li Tuo looked nonchalant. "Brother, you forgot. Didn't Brother Lu say that acid rain doesn't fall every day?"

Li Tie took out the dates Lu Xuan had mentioned for acid rain, which he had recorded in advance, and said, "This acid rain will continue for three days, and then it will be normal rain for the next two days."

There were two days of heavy rain, enough water to collect for drinking.

Miao Jinfeng was still a little worried. "I'm afraid we won't be able to go out to pick fruits or hunt when it rains acid, right?"

Wu Yinyin said firmly, "Wild vegetables and mushrooms will be inedible after being soaked in the rain. It's useless to pick them. Animal fur will also corrode after being soaked. In serious cases, it will rot into the meat and become inedible."

Lu Qing, who was about to give birth, held her belly carefully and said, "Even if the meat is still edible, going out hunting is likely to get caught in the rain. The risk is too great. We are not short of meat, so there is no need to take risks."

Li Tie frowned. "We can put hunting aside for now, but we need people working in the fields every day, and I'm afraid the raincoat won't be able to withstand the corrosion..."

Lu Xuan said: "Change into corrosion-resistant protective clothing and put on a helmet to cover your entire body. It won't have much impact if you're just going out for a short time."

Li Tie's brows relaxed, "That's right."

While they were talking, most of the awnings outside had been corroded to the point where they could no longer maintain their original shape and began to collapse one after another.

Li Tie noticed that some people still had jars or other supplies in their sheds, so he quickly called them and asked them to put the things away before the sheds were completely corroded.

As for the anti-corrosion protective clothing, it was inconvenient for the villagers to go to the grocery store to exchange it, so Lu Xuan went to the west and delivered it to every household using a drone.

The villagers, equipped with new equipment, quickly came out and moved around again.

I wouldn't dare to just hang around outside, but at least I could clean up the shed that had been corroded beyond recognition. After that, the children should go to class, and the young men should go to training.

You can't let a living person die from holding his urine, so you still have to get back to doing your daily things.

Soon the village returned to its normal pace of life. Apart from occasional complaints about the trouble caused by acid rain, no other substantial damage was caused.

In contrast, other gathering places for disaster victims were more chaotic.

Luochuan.

The people in the city were in high spirits since the temperature dropped, and when the raindrops as big as beans began to fall, cheers could be heard everywhere.

Some people even couldn't wait to run out of their homes to get caught in the rain.

The others were horrified. "Are you crazy? Come back! It's acid raining! Have you forgotten everything in the notice sent by the government office?"

"What acid rain?" The victims who ran out grinned foolishly and opened their arms to bathe in the rain, but soon they felt a burning pain in their arms.

When I looked down, I found that there were several holes in my sleeves for some reason. The acid rain fell through the holes and onto the skin inside, bringing waves of burning pain.

As the clothes on his body were corroded more severely, the pain began to come from his shoulders, waist, abdomen, thighs, etc.

The victims were so frightened that they crawled to the nearest eaves, their faces filled with pain and panic.

"What happened to me? My clothes are soaked and my body hurts!"

The other victims who did not dare to get too close to the eaves were speechless.

"The government office has long since informed us that the rain for the first three days was acid rain, corrosive and dangerous. We were told not to go out in the rain, and if we had to go out, we had to cover our heads with something. This could save lives, didn't you pay attention?"

The disaster victims who were caught in the rain said anxiously: "It was too hot before. I stayed at home every day and didn't go out for a long time."

Feeling the increasingly intense burning pain in their bodies and the dense blisters that appeared on the backs of their hands, which were completely exposed to the rain, the victims looked terrified: "I'm already wet in the rain, what should I do? Will I die?"

A soft-hearted disaster victim took out a tube of ointment from his bosom.

"This is the ointment I bought from the clinic. I heard it can heal skin damaged by acid rain. Use it first, and I'll give you another one later."

The other party took the ointment with ecstasy on his face and quickly applied it to his hands, arms, shoulders and other places that were in severe pain.

Almost as soon as it was applied, a cool feeling spread across the skin and the pain quickly subsided.

The other party immediately breathed a sigh of relief, his face full of relief for surviving the disaster.

But not all disaster victims were as lucky as the other party to meet someone who kindly gave them ointment.

Government office.

Liu Wenchi learned that many people in the city had problems due to acid rain, so he quickly arranged for the government officials to put on anti-corrosion protective clothing that they had exchanged from Lu Xuan in advance, and went to provide support with ointment.

While helping out, Li Jingli couldn't help but complain, "We sent out the notice a long time ago, but these disaster victims still refuse to listen and insist on going out in the rain."

Liu Zimo, who was also busy arranging personnel, sighed, "There's nothing we can do. With a population of hundreds of thousands in the city, there are bound to be places where notifications aren't being made."

Furthermore, after waiting for the rain for several months, it is very likely that in the excitement of it, we forgot about the acid rain.

All they can do is try to minimize the losses.

Li Jingli shook his head, his expression helpless. "They don't even value their own lives. These people have just seen life for a long time and have lost their vigilance. If something really goes wrong, they will cry."

While the Luochuan government office was busy rescuing people all over the city, the situation at the other gathering places that Lu Xuan had visited was relatively good.

Due to its geographical location, Licheng is not too short of water, so its desire for rain is not that crazy.

Even if you are envious of the rain, you will just take out a basin to collect the water. Then you will soon find that the wooden basin changes color and even has tiny holes after collecting the rain water. Realizing that something is wrong, you will quickly throw away the water and stay away from the rain.

Yangshan County was the first gathering place to receive the disaster date given by Lu Xuan, so it attached great importance to every abnormal climate.

As early as a few days before the acid rain came, Mr. Chen and others informed everyone to stock up on ointments for treating corrosion, emphasized not to go out after the rain, and used corrosion-resistant materials, which was the largest number they had, to build a long corridor extending quite far.

With this corridor, although people gathered at the gathering place did not dare to get wet in the rain easily, their range of activities was not greatly restricted.

If you accidentally get caught in the rain, you can quickly apply the ointment you carry with you to avoid worsening the injury.

Even with such preparations, although accidents still could not be avoided, only a little over a hundred people were injured among the more than 70,000 people, which was the best they could do.

As for Fengxian County.

Except for the people Ye Feiluan arranged to live in the greenhouse two days in advance to facilitate the operation of the plant protection machine, the rest of the people either ate and slept at home when the acid rain fell, or put on holographic helmets and played immersively in the holographic world.

The disaster victims in Fengxian had already survived many battles, and no one would act as foolishly as the people in Luochuan after receiving the news of the disaster in advance.

The greenhouse has harvested several times, and everyone has enough food to last at least ten days, half a month, or even several months.

Since there is enough food, they can just stay at home for as long as the acid rain lasts.

I'm really feeling uncomfortable holding it in anymore. I'll wait for a few days for normal rain and then go out for a walk, and then go back home to stay.

Ye Feiluan is not a very saintly person. If someone insists on going out in the rain without listening to his advice, it is their own choice whether they die or get hurt. He will not care.

This seemingly passive response actually resulted in almost no one being injured by acid rain in Fengxian County.

Similarly, the capital city is also very comfortable.

The miracle Lu Xuan performed at that time left a deep impression on the people in the capital.

The new emperor issued an imperial decree in the name of Yunxian Hou receiving advice from the immortal to explain the acid rain issue, and none of the people dared to take it lightly.

When the acid rain came, there were basically no other accidents except for a few naughty kids who went out to play when their children were not paying attention and cried loudly after being injured by the acid rain.

Lu Xuan contacted his acquaintances in various gathering places and stopped caring about it after confirming that the problem was not serious.

However, these large gathering places were able to remain safe and sound thanks to the various supplies and information provided by Lu Xuan, but it was different for other gathering places.

The towns that the young and strong people had visited were fine, but Yunlu Village was a gathering place that they had never been to and knew nothing about acid rain. The victims rushed into the rain without any preparation... the result can be imagined.

In order to prevent other settlements from suffering heavy losses due to acid rain, Huo Tiankuo, who had been busy suppressing civil unrest during the hottest season, rushed to the towns and cities that had not yet restored communication to provide assistance.

There was no time to explain the disaster in detail, the change of dynasty, or to understand the local forces. At least we could send them a batch of ointment to meet their urgent needs.

However, as a result, the demand for the ointment suddenly increased a lot, so he could only ask Lu Xuan to buy more.

Huo Tiankuo looked at Lu Xuan on the other side of the screen with shame, "I already troubled you once last time, and I didn't want to bother you again..."

Lu Xuan didn't care. "I said, last time it was just a matter of mutual benefit. General, don't take it to heart. It's the same this time."

Huo Tiankuo thought that Lu Xuan was just saying polite words because he was afraid that he would have a psychological burden, so he thanked him sincerely again.

In fact, Lu Xuan was not just speaking for politeness.

Not to mention that the ointment this time was not given for free, let’s talk about the last time, Huo Tiankuo discovered a county town completely occupied by evil forces and led troops to suppress it by force. The reason why Lu Xuan rushed over to help was ultimately to increase the recommendation effect.

Lu Xuan only discovered later that although the 72-hour pop-up reward could be divided into three recommendations, it could not be postponed indefinitely, but had to be used up within two months.

If he just broadcast the daily life of the village casually, it would inevitably waste the recommendation effect. He contacted his acquaintances in various gathering places at that time, and happened to discover Huo Tiankuo's suppression plan, and immediately arranged the second recommendation on the day of action.

Not only did the live broadcast audience see the authentic battles of ancient times, but also, in accordance with the audience's expectations, a variety of different superpowers were used to assist, allowing the audience to appreciate a violent aesthetic.

As for the last recommendation, Lu Xuan placed it on the day when the prince signed the contract with the vampire vine.

The results of both recommendations were pretty good, but probably because the interval between the last recommendation was not long, the increase was not as great as the first time.

After all 72 hours were used up, Lu Xuan failed to increase the number of fans to 5 billion in one go, but stopped at 4.2 billion. The number of online fans just exceeded 20 billion, and the total balance of points recovered to more than 11 billion.

Therefore, Huo Tiankuo really had no need to thank him. Instead, Lu Xuan gave Huo Tiankuo a discount and sold a large batch of ointments at a 20% discount.

·

After the rainy season began, the temperature dropped all the way down to below 20 degrees Celsius.

This year's rainy season has almost no light rain. Instead, it starts with heavy rain, followed by heavy rain, heavy rain, heavy rain, heavy rain, heavy rain, and heavy rain every day in a continuous cycle.

The heavier rainfall than last year caused water to accumulate rapidly in the village. In less than five days, all the villagers, including Lu Xuan, had to move onto the big boat.

The Lu family still lives in Boat No. 1 from last year, but the rest of the villagers have moved to a larger and more comfortable vessel that the village chief bought with 200,000 kilograms of public property and can carry more than 500 people.

A group of female relatives looked at the cabin, which was more spacious than last year, with excitement on their faces.

Grandma Lin sighed: "Last year I lived on a boat for more than two months. I was not used to floating on the water all the time. Now I am going to start living on the water again. I miss it a lot."

Aunt Liu looked at the guest room, which had a large double bed and plenty of spacious space, and said happily, "This year is different from last year. Isn't this room much more spacious than Ship 2?"

Aunt Zhang smiled and said, "After all, it's a new boat that I spent several times the price on, so of course it's bigger."

Miao Jinfeng said, "Public supplies are piling up. They're just sitting there anyway. If we buy a bigger ship, everyone can live more comfortably. They won't have to stay in a small room all day. It's really cramped after a while."

The others nodded in agreement.

However, the water level is less than two meters now, so the boat cannot float for the time being.

Although we say we are starting to live on water, in reality, there is not much difference from living on land.

With the tonnage of the new ship, it will need to wait until the flood actually comes and the water depth reaches at least ten meters before it can float.

·

Almost immediately after the villagers of Yunlu Village moved onto the boat, the victims in the Huo family army camp also moved in by taking out the boat that Huo Tiankuo had purchased earlier because water began to accumulate on the ground.

The area where the Huo family army camp is located is at a higher altitude than Yunlu Village, so there is no need to worry about the greenhouse being flooded.

But when the civil servant sent by the new emperor to manage the camp came to Yunlu Village specifically when it was raining to inquire about the situation there, he was shocked.

It's not surprising that the villagers moved onto the boats, but... where did all the houses in the village go?
