Chapter 148 More Serious Than Previous Life

When acid rain first comes, even if it can corrode tempered glass, the speed will not be that fast. What's more, the acid in acid rain is sulfurous acid and carbonic acid, which cannot react with SiO2 in glass.

How could Lu Xingtang let Ji Yanmo check alone? He took out another flashlight from the space and checked with him.

Acid rain did not penetrate in. She was more worried that acid rain would seep in through the gaps between the tempered glass, not that the acid rain would corrode the tempered glass.

After making sure there was no problem, she returned to the room with peace of mind, lying in Ji Yanmo's arms, listening to the sound of acid rain hitting the tempered glass.

Neither of them could sleep. Ji Yanmo lowered his eyes, looked at his beloved, and asked softly, "In your previous life, how did you survive the acid rain?"

Previous life? Lu Xingtang said calmly, "At this time in my previous life, I was working at the base hospital. The base hospital is a key protected area of the base, so nothing happened to me!"

But when the acid rain stopped, the Sheng family fled. He was forced to stay by Song Youwei and others and did not leave with the Sheng family. After the acid rain, the high-level officials of the base who were left behind took them to escape. They experienced thick fog on the way and many people died.

This time, she had no one to protect her and was forced to scavenge for supplies. Her skin was burned to the point of decay by the intense heat. If only the abandoned management, knowing she was a doctor and had done a good job at the base hospital, hadn't given her some medicine and let her mix it herself? When the fog cleared, she went to the mountains to search for herbs, but the herbs and mountain plants were all eroded by the acid rain and fog, and nothing could be found. She was completely disfigured.

Raising her hand to touch her face, Lu Xingtang snuggled tightly in Ji Yanmo's arms. Ji Yanmo understood the moment Lu Xingtang raised her hand to touch her face. He hugged her tightly and gave her warmth: "I won't ask anymore in the future. Past lives are all dust. Don't think about it. Live in the present!"

Lu Xingtang hummed. It was impossible not to think about it. Sometimes she would be so angry at her own stupidity that she couldn't sleep.

At seven o'clock in the morning, the two got up to make breakfast. The breakfast was very simple. They cooked a pot of millet porridge and took out the vegetarian and meat-filled buns they had stockpiled to eat with the millet porridge.

After breakfast, the two sat at the gate, watching the acid rain hitting the tempered glass and flowing down the tempered glass. The ground had been corroded into potholes of various sizes, and they took out a telescope to observe the distance.

The trees and rocks on the opposite mountain were corroded and shattered, leaving it bare.

In her previous life, she was busy at the hospital and had little time to observe the acid rain. But based on her memory of the intensity of the acid rain, Lu Xingtang frowned and said, "Mo, I find that this acid rain is much more severe than in my previous life, and the corrosiveness has also increased."

Hearing this, Ji Yanmo frowned: "The acid rain will continue for at least seven days. If it continues at this level for seven days, I don't think we can live on the top of the mountain for long. We must move to the base."

Lu Xingtang was a little reluctant to leave the home they had worked so hard to build, but the home should be able to be stored in the space.

"Let's see how corrosive the acid rain is first. If we really can't continue living here, we'll have to move! But as long as I can be with Mo, anywhere is fine!"

Ji Yanmo was coaxed sweetly by Lu Xingtang, "I wonder what the situation is like at the base?"

Base? Su Cheng and the management were inspecting the base in protective gear.

"Base commander, don't worry that the base will be corroded and destroyed by acid rain!" The loyal assistant comforted the uneasy Su Cheng.

Because the tempered glass was made in advance and installed before the acid rain came.

Whether in the poor or rich areas, no one has been corroded or damaged by acid rain. This also includes the planting areas, farms, base hospitals, base schools, major factories, and so on. Everything is covered with tempered glass. They had already checked before looking for Su Cheng, and they were sure there was nothing wrong.

Su Cheng knew that tempered glass would not be corroded by acid rain, but he was still worried and had to see it with his own eyes before he could feel at ease.

This time, all the rich people who had complaints against Su Cheng gave him a thumbs up. If Su Cheng had not searched for materials for making tempered glass in advance, spent a lot of time and effort, and used all his manpower and material resources to make tempered glass day and night, they would all have died in the acid rain.

In order to test the corrosiveness of acid rain, one of the rich families threw their hamster out of the window. They clearly saw that the hamster was corroded in less than ten seconds, leaving no bones or hair.

They were so scared that their faces turned pale. They strictly instructed their families not to leave the house and to be frugal with food and drink. The base had told them that the acid rain would last for seven days, but what if it lasted more than seven days?

Su Cheng nodded slightly to the rich man's praise: "Don't go out. If you need anything, let the patrol know and we will make arrangements as soon as possible!"

When they went to the poor area, the people there were so scared that they hid at home. When they saw them coming to care for them in the acid rain, they all told them to go home and not come out, saying that even with protective clothing, they were not really safe.

Su Cheng said that he would feel relieved only after he came to check it out, and asked them to write down any requests in the notebook downstairs. They would send someone to collect the notebooks, and no matter which household needed supplies or was sick, they could write it down.

They were not allowed to go out, except for the workers who had to go to work, but they were all given protective clothing to prevent them from being burned or corroded by acid rain.

After wandering around the poor area for a long time, Su Cheng finally felt relieved after confirming again and again that there was no problem.

Then he went to the broadcasting studio, took the microphone, and gave a clarification to the people at the base: absolutely not to go out during acid rain, and even if they did, they must wear protective clothing. The people working to earn supplies must not be afraid, as every area is shielded by tempered glass. Acid rain can corrode the ground, walls, supplies, and people, but it definitely cannot corrode tempered glass. They can definitely survive seven days of acid rain...

I returned to the base office, stood in front of the window, and looked towards Qing'an Peak. Lu Xingtang and the others had already taken precautions, so they should be fine.

Even if the bunker built by Lu Xingtang and Ji Yanmo was destroyed by acid rain, they would be fine and could hide in space, but Su Cheng didn't know.

Because they took precautions in advance, they survived the acid rain safely, but other survivors were not so lucky.

Especially for the survivors who had no place to shelter from the rain and kept walking towards the base, the acid rain hit them like a torrential rain, and their clothes were instantly burned into a hole. The acid rain did not hit them drop by drop, but fell on them from all directions on the ground.

After their clothes were corroded, acid rain fell on their skin, burning them and making them scream: "It's acid raining in Hangzhou, everyone, quickly find a place to hide!"

However, as soon as they finished shouting and had time to run away, the acid rain mercilessly took their lives, corroding their bodies, and their corpses soon merged with the earth.
