Chapter 57 Heavy Rain
See here.
Nan Yao stared in disbelief, her hands trembling. "Water! It's water! Don't stop me, I have to take a bath!"
She wanted to jump into the hand as soon as she saw it.
Wash away the stench from your body.
Another loud rumble came from outside the door.
Ji Zai was stunned. She put down the showerhead, her voice trembling slightly. "That thunder was so loud, it startled me. Did something happen?"
Nan Yao felt a chill run through her body for some reason. "I don't know."
The two were stunned.
I looked towards the horizon.
In the endless darkness, bursts of cold light pierced through the night.
It was lightning.
This kind of weather always gives people a sense of foreboding.
Ji Zai looked at the showerhead in his hand and said, "Nan Yao, go back first. Tell everyone to hurry back to the dormitory. The thunder is too loud, so don't turn on the air conditioner."
Nan Yao nodded. "Okay, be careful too."
soon.
Then the lights came on in the dark.
Ji Zai looked at the showerhead in her hand, took off her clothes, and took a shower first. The water temperature was just right. She washed her hair and her whole body was clean.
When I came out, I felt completely refreshed.
This is the only clean set of pajamas.
Ji Zai looked at the pile of dirty clothes.
I soaked it in the remaining water and waited until the next day to wash it.
The thunder outside was still very loud.
It sends chills down your spine.
Ji Zai was startled, and a sense of foreboding crept into her heart. She stood on the balcony, gazing at the lightning in the sky, a vague feeling welling up inside her.
Ning City.
Shelter.
"Report, Major General, there have been sudden mutations among the people in the shelter, and more than one..."
"Major General, the number of people undergoing zombie mutation is increasing..."
"Major General, the shelter can't hold out any longer, run!"
Inside the shelter, screams echoed one after another, like a scene from hell on earth.
Amidst the flashes of lightning, the zombies'狰狞 (zhengning, meaning ferocious or hideous) expressions were revealed, making them utterly terrifying.
The surrounding cries, shouts, and pleas for help were mixed together.
Su Mai trembled as he watched the riot. Seeing this horrific scene, he cried out, "The laboratory!!"
But shouting louder now won't help.
They had no idea why the zombies had suddenly appeared.
Why did a shelter that had shown signs of improvement turn into hell overnight?
Su Mai stood upstairs, with countless people dressed in black behind him. They were government officials, but also people who couldn't show their faces.
Before the city was locked down, they were given enough guns and ammunition.
They need to protect the people of Ning City.
But now, they can only watch helplessly as the people of Ning City mutate, go mad, and die.
Su Mai felt a chill run through her body. "Why? The lab is so far away from us, so how can they still turn people into zombies!"
No one could answer his question.
The thunder was so loud it was despair-inducing.
Ji Zai wanted to get himself some water, but for some reason, he couldn't hold the cup properly.
With a snap.
The glass shattered on the floor.
As Ji Zai observed this situation, his sense of foreboding grew stronger.
She paused for a moment, then put on a raincoat late at night, wrapping herself up tightly, and went to the research lab.
It's those partitioned-off research rooms.
She gently put on her gloves and placed the raincoat under the microscope.
Then, a strange microorganism was detected in the rain.
Ji Zai paused, then closed his eyes. "So, it really is spread through rainwater?"
She took a deep breath.
I dare not go back.
He took out his phone.
Thunder rumbled overhead.
The leader of the Ningmeng Alliance has logged on again.
The thunder cast a dim light on Ji Zai's face. Her fingers moved, and a message ignited the entire city of Ning.
[Leader of the Ning Alliance: Rainwater is a contagious substance; contact with it will activate the zombie virus within the body.]
[Leader of Ningmeng: Using other people's things to swindle and deceive, the lab really has a lot of prestige, a bunch of thieves]
After Ji Zai finished speaking, he threw away the entire phone.
He took off his raincoat without any expression.
I sat down in front of the research room.
I didn't sleep a wink all night.
The message spread rapidly.
When Su Mai received the message, he remained silent for a long time, then said, "Rain..."
He chuckled.
I looked at the torrential rain.
He closed his eyes.
"They're really asking for it."
Ji Zai didn't know what was happening outside; all she knew was that by the time the rain stopped, it was already very late.
She looked at the condensate generator she had just made.
He remained silent for a long time.
The rain has stopped.
She finally got back to her dorm.
As soon as Ji Zai entered, he saw the dormitory lights were on, and as soon as he walked in, he saw Liang Qiyue.
She said in surprise, "You're awake?"
Hearing the door open, Liang Qiyue turned around. "Yeah, I was startled awake by the thunder. Eat something quickly. What are you doing out in this heavy rain?"
Ji Zai nodded and locked the door.
As she ate the porridge Liang Qiyue had cooked, she sighed, "The zombies are back..."
The sound of rain has ceased.
The faint sounds of zombies could be heard throughout the city.
It sounds like a wolf howling.
It sends chills down your spine.
Liang Qiyue heard it as soon as she got up. While eating her porridge, she said fearfully, "I heard this sound as soon as I woke up, and it scared me so much that I shuddered. Why are they here again?"
It's impossible not to be afraid of zombies.
The record understands her fear.
Because she didn't know to what extent the zombies could mutate this time.
So all night long.
She was uneasy.
Liang Qiyue sensed the subtle atmosphere. "Ji Zai, are you afraid too?"
Ji Zai sighed, "No one can help but be scared. I thought that once we got through the high temperatures, there would be fewer zombies outside, but I didn't expect that after the rain, it would be even more terrifying outside."
"Agreed, thankfully we have sufficient supplies now."
Liang Qiyue felt a sense of relief when she thought about the rice she had worked so hard to carry. Having rice was their greatest source of confidence.
No matter how many zombies are outside.
As long as they don't go out.
Then the zombies can't hurt them.
As Ji Zai ate her rice, she still felt uneasy. After a while, she let out a sigh of relief. "Forget it, the zombie virus is too far away for us. Let's focus on the present."
"I stayed up all night to figure out the water dispenser and purifier."
"After the air conditioner water is purified, it can be used for showering, and the water dispenser can be used for daily drinking water."
Ji Zai frowned slightly as he said this, "But even so, water is still very scarce. It's impossible to take a shower once a day. We can only take one shower every few days, and we have to carry water to the top floor to filter it through a water purifier before pouring it into the water tank."
Their school's warehouse has a lot of stuff.
However, no matter how many parts there are, they cannot support large industrial equipment.
Therefore, the two pieces of equipment that Ji Zai created were only the size of a small refrigerator. Even though he tried his best to save money, a lot of materials were still consumed.
Upon hearing this, Liang Qiyue clapped for Ji Zai and said excitedly, "Old Ji, don't worry, we don't mind. In the current situation, having water is good enough, what's there to complain about!"
To be honest...
She wants to take a shower right now.
Seeing her agitation, Ji Zai shook his head. "It's not quite possible. The hygiene problem in our dormitory is very serious right now. If it's not cleaned up, the whole dormitory will stink. So I still need to solve the water problem."
She thought for a moment and said, "There's also the issue of electricity. It's been raining continuously with no sunshine, so the stored electricity won't last long."
"So I've been hesitating between increasing water and electricity supply."
"The remaining materials can be used to make something else, such as a water pump or a small generator. We need to consider that."
Liang Qiyue, feeling much better now, thought for a moment upon hearing this and said, "Then let's use a generator! Although water is the source of life, we have some now, albeit not much, but it's enough to sustain our daily lives. What we obviously lack more now is electricity. Without electricity, the air conditioner can't work, and we won't be able to get condensate water..."
"That's why I think electricity is more important."
At night, countless zombies appeared.
Ning City has become a living hell.
However, this hell has not yet reached Ningda.
Ji Zai knew this, but at the moment, she was unable to intervene in these matters and could only take care of herself first.
Ji Zai fell asleep while thinking about it.
There was a loud bang outside the window.
Thunder rumbled again.
The raindrops pattered loudly against the window.
