The heavy rain lasted all night, and Gu Yuze and Cong Jing did not sleep all night. They stayed in the living room on the first floor of the villa to watch over the three directors.
Although the three directors were handcuffed and shackled, theoretically there was no possibility of forcibly breaking free.
But they are level three awakeners after all, and no one knows whether they have some unknown means or special abilities. Therefore, arranging people to keep watch and closely monitor them is the safest approach.
The three directors felt relieved when they saw that the small group did not kill them directly after questioning them, but kept them on the first floor for supervision.
What they were most worried about was that after the small group had obtained information related to the Blackthorn Company, they would think that they were no longer valuable, so in order to avoid future troubles, they would simply kill them all at once.
Since the people in the small group did not do so, the three directors thought that the possibility of the other party killing them became very small.
The most likely approach is that the other party will exchange them with the Blackthorn Company, using them as bargaining chips to gain enough benefits from the Blackthorn Company!
Similar things have happened before.
In addition to regular trade between their Blackthorn Company and the Brotherhood further north, minor conflicts would occasionally break out.
Since their strength is very close, the Brotherhood in the North has two level fours, but their Black Thorn chairman is more powerful individually, so both sides will always exercise restraint when a conflict breaks out.
Whenever awakened people are involved, neither party will kill the other. At most, the loser will be captured alive.
In this case, the winning party will naturally use the captives in their hands to exchange for benefits.
Both the Blackthorn Company and the Brotherhood value their own awakened ones. Once a tacit understanding is reached, they are willing to spend an agreed-upon ransom to redeem their own awakened ones.
With this judgment, the three directors behaved very honestly.
Anyway, you can go back safely, so why do some meaningless actions that will only arouse suspicion and make yourself unhappy?
What's more, this group of people are very cautious. Even at night, they would assign two people to stare at them without blinking.
Even if they wanted to try, it would be impossible to hide it from each other's eyes.
So the three directors were actually quite relaxed, not even realizing they were captives. They simply fell asleep when the time came...
The main reason is that you are too hungry. The process of sleep can greatly reduce the body's energy consumption and relieve hunger to a certain extent.
The people who captured them obviously had no intention of giving them food. So instead of starving while awake, it would be better to sleep a little longer. This would consume less energy and keep them more alert... although it was of no use.
Nothing happened that night. Early the next morning, the rain outside began to noticeably subside.
However, the heavy rain only turned into light rain, and the sky did not clear up after the rain.
The raindrops from the sky no longer fell to the ground with a "crackling" sound, but were as sparse as the prostate of a middle-aged man who could not bear the burden.
In fact, in terms of the degree of danger, as long as it is this kind of "black rain" mixed with radioactive clouds and cumulonimbus clouds, no matter how heavy or light the rain is, it will have the same killing effect on the survivors.
Therefore, the only meaning of heavy rain turning into light rain is that it is meaningless.
"How long will this rain last?"
The small group of people sat around the dining table in the living room eating breakfast. Chen Yan looked out the window at the continuous rain and couldn't help but ask.
Because the rainstorm came too suddenly yesterday, no one in the small group went back to spend the night.
Except for Gu Yuze and Cong Jing who served as guards for the whole night, everyone else found a room and stayed in Fei Changyuan's villa for the night.
"Based on the cloud density detected, it will rain at least all day. If it's early, it will almost stop tonight. If it's late, it won't last until dawn tomorrow."
Fei Changyuan answered.
Chen Yan was speechless: "In other words, today is wasted again? Apart from staying in the villa, there is nothing else to do?"
Fei Changyuan said as if it was normal: "This is life in the wasteland. If you want to live well in this land, you must be careful and cautious enough. Although for the awakened, the amount of 'black rain' that can cause danger is not much.
In addition to radiation, the corrosive substances contained in rainwater must also be significantly above the standard to pose a threat to the Awakened. As for the toxicity of nitrogen oxides, it can basically be ignored. However, no one is willing to take the risk unless it is absolutely necessary.
The damage caused by the 'black rain' is difficult to immediately show up on the body's surface. As the rain adheres to it, the damage will quickly penetrate the skin, muscles, bones, and blood, and then accumulate, erupting within the next few days to months.
Because of this, whether ordinary survivors or awakened ones, there is a certain lag in their perception of the damage caused by the "Black Rain". Therefore, the best way to deal with the "Black Rain" is to avoid being caught by it.
Chen Yan thought for a moment and said, "What about the survivors of the Blackthorn Camp? Or rather, all settlements like the Blackthorn Camp? Most of the survivors there live in shacks, and very few can live in brick or board houses. Shacks are prone to leaks, right? A light rain might be okay, but what if it leaks during a downpour like last night?"
Fei Changyuan said meaningfully, "What else can we do? Of course, we should accept our fate. As long as the leak is not too serious, we can just hide in the leaking area and avoid being wetted by the rain. If the leak is very serious, we should also try to avoid exposure to rain as much as possible.
If you're really unlucky and your shed collapses, forcing you to bathe in the rain, at least you'll have time to leave your last words. After all, those caught in the 'black rain' won't die immediately, provided someone needs their last words.
Chen Yan was slightly stunned, and then fell into silence.
I was able to travel freely in this wasteland for more than half a month.
Chen Yan originally thought that his speed of adaptation and the extent of his progress were amazing. In such a short period of time, he was able to face killing with almost a normal mind.
But at this moment, listening to Fei Changyuan's absolute disregard for life, Chen Yan realized that he still needed more time to truly adapt to the rules of survival in this wasteland world...
