Chapter 78 Heavy Rain

Not long after Qiao Yu and the other three returned from the back mountain, they heard a knock on the door.

Cheng Sinian went to open the door, and as soon as he opened it, he saw Lin Han outside.

No one knew when she woke up. At this moment, she was being supported by Deng Minglang and standing at the door of the house.

Her face was still a little pale, but she looked much better.

She bowed slightly to Cheng Sinian, "Mr. Cheng, thank you for saving my life that day."

"Don't be so polite." Cheng Sinian waved his hand and raised his eyebrows. "We are good people. We didn't save you just to get your thanks."

Deng Minglang nodded immediately upon hearing this. "Yes, we understand. We just wanted to come over and say thank you. Lin Chi has woken up too and wanted to come over, but his injuries looked a bit serious, so I didn't let him get up."

Cheng Sinian nodded. "Don't bother with this nonsense. You should go back and have a good rest. Once you've recovered from your injuries, we'll continue our journey. Don't worry about anything else for now."

"well!"

Deng Minglang thanked Lin Han profusely and helped him back.

After Cheng Sinian saw them off back to the house, he looked up at the sky. He felt that the sunlight today wasn't as strong as before.

Cheng Sinian's feeling was correct.

Because in the afternoon, it started raining outside.

"What's going on?" Cheng Sinian stared at the sudden downpour outside the window, frowning. "The sun is shining brightly, and it's raining so hard... Could it be like the red rain, carrying some virus?"

"No virus! Go get the Lin family to store water!"

Qiao Yu was originally taking a nap with Jiang Zhan in the sleeping cabin. After sensing the rain through the jade vine, he immediately crawled out of the cabin.

"After the apocalypse, there will be very little rainfall, but as long as the rainwater doesn't fall to the ground, it's uncontaminated. After filtering and boiling, it's completely drinkable!" Qiao Yu clung to the hatch, his eyes shining. "Tell the Lin family to find water tanks in the village and collect the rainwater for future use. We should also save some!"

Although they are not short of water, such rainwater is a good thing in the base and can be sold for a lot of crystal cores!

Cheng Sinian raised his eyebrows upon hearing this and said jokingly, "Understood!"

Then he went to knock on the Lin family's door with an umbrella.

Deng Minglang was overjoyed when he heard the news. While urging the men of the Lin family to go out, he shouted to Cheng Sinian, "Brother Cheng, we can still do this. Just wait in the house. We will collect the rainwater and pack it up for you."

"Okay." Cheng Sinian was happy to be free, so he turned around and went back to the house.

The noise in the yard startled Fang Lin and the others. After a discussion, the three of them braved the rain and went outside to look for a water tank.

"The rain is quite heavy." Cheng Sinian closed the door and shook the rain off his legs.

"The weather after the apocalypse is very extreme." Qiao Yu nestled in Jiang Zhan's arms, crunching potato chips. "It's either a rainstorm or a snowstorm, and this is just the beginning."

Cheng Sinian walked over, held Luo Zhenzhen in his arms, rested his chin on the top of her head, and said lazily, "From what you said, this rain will continue for quite some time?"

Qiao Yu nodded and said, "Normally, it will take about a week."

"A week?" Luo Zhenzhen asked in surprise, "Won't there be a flood then?"

"No." Qiao Yu said calmly, "The mutated plants will absorb all the rainwater and won't allow it to accumulate on the surface."

"Cherish the rainy days now, because they may only come once every one or two years."

Qiao Yu gently patted the potato chip crumbs on his hands and turned to look at the heavy rain outside the window.

The sound of rain was fast and heavy, as if carrying a destructive force.

But this is the source of life-saving for mankind.

The end of the world has been here for more than two months, and many people have died from severe dehydration.

Many of the remaining survivors were on the verge of severe dehydration.

This rain can save many lives.

God allows despair to spread among the people, yet in the midst of despair he saves dying humans.

What is this?

Is there always a way out?

Seeing a hint of sarcasm on Qiao Yu's face, Jiang Zhan touched her face and asked in a low voice: "Ayu, what's wrong?"

Qiao Yu came back to his senses, rubbed Jiang Zhan's chin like a kitten, and shook his head, "Nothing, I just suddenly felt... God's will is playing tricks on me."

Jiang Zhan didn't say anything after hearing this, but just kissed her forehead and slowly stroked her long hair.

--

When the Lin family and Fang Lin and the others came back, each of them was dragging two large vats with various pots, pans, and utensils in them.

Even Pan Yu and Wei Sisi could each drag a large vat with a lot of rainwater accumulated in it.

Qiao Yu couldn't help but sigh that human potential is indeed infinite.

Deng Minglang and the Lin family put the big vat they dragged back in the yard, took out all the pots, pans, and utensils inside, laid them out one by one, and told the women of the Lin family to watch the rainwater and remember to take it back and bottle it if it was full.

Then he went out again, saying that he hadn't finished taking it yet.

When Cheng Sinian went out to see, he found that the Lin family was simply moving back all the water containers in the village.

Not only did they arrange the yard so that there was almost no place to stand, but outside the house there were also a large row of water vats and basins, almost surrounding the entire house.

As Qiao Yu listened to Cheng Sinian's retelling, he felt deeply that this week's heavy rain would probably provide the Lin family with enough food to drink for several months.

The rain was indeed heavy, and continued all day and all night.

By night, even the common daily fog had disappeared.

The Lin family was divided into four groups, who took turns on duty morning and night. When they saw the water tank was full, they poured water into mineral water bottles and empty buckets.

Two days passed like this, and all the empty bottles in the car were filled.

The Lin family began to look for clean bottles and cans everywhere, wishing they could stock up more.

Qiao Yu couldn't help but feel a little worried. Would they wait until they left and move even these water tanks away?

In addition to the rain, another good news for the Lin family is that Lin Yingjie finally woke up after being in a coma for four days.

In fact, Qiao Yu did not expect that under Duoduo's treatment, Lin Yingjie would remain in a coma for four whole days.

It can be seen how seriously he was injured this time.

After Lin Yingjie woke up and heard Deng Minglang talk about what had happened in the past few days, he almost got up and kowtowed to Qiao Yu.

In the end, it took several younger members of the Lin family to hold him down and promise to invite Qiao Yu over, which finally made Lin Yingjie give up the idea.

When Qiao Yu and Jiang Zhan were invited into the house by the Lin family, Lin Yingjie had already sat up and was waiting for them.

Lin Yingjie was exhausted and lost a lot of weight in just four days. His originally plump figure is now almost shriveled.

Seeing Qiao Yu and Jiang Zhan come in, he forced a smile on his face.

"Boss Jiang, Boss Qiao, thank you so much for this!" Lin Yingjie looked a little uncomfortable, but he still struggled to hold his body up and insisted, "It's all my fault this time for being so arrogant. I almost got the four of us killed... and I caused you so much trouble..."

Lin Yingjie leaned forward, held Deng Minglang's hand, sat down and bowed to them.

This time he was the one who held back, and he had to apologize. Otherwise, Qiao Yu and the others would probably think that they were holding back and were unrepentant.

With the wisdom of Qiao Yu and others, it is impossible for them to continue to cooperate with such "pig teammates".

Then the Lin family will really have a hard time.

"You're welcome." Seeing him like this, Qiao Yu felt a little sorry and frowned slightly. "But you really need to be more careful in the future. After the apocalypse, there is no safe place at all. If you have any difficulties, you can tell us directly. Since we promised you that we would cooperate, we will seriously consider any reasonable request within our capabilities."

"Okay. Thank you, Boss Qiao. I will definitely remember this lesson and never make the same mistake again!"

Lin Yingjie secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Since Qiao Yu can say this, it means that they have no plans to part ways for the time being.

The Lin family is still safe.
