Chapter 235 It’s not over until blood is shed!
After being submerged for two years, City S finally saw the light of day again.
The sun shines on every inch of land, but it does not bring new life.
But once again, despair.
Shi Jiaojiao looked at the strange yet familiar buildings around her, and a feeling of sadness welled up in her heart.
How long does it take to build a city?
I wonder how many generations of joint efforts it will take for City S to finally become so prosperous.
But what about destroying a city?
Two years?
No, shorter.
When acid rain appeared, the city was doomed.
Or to be more precise, human civilization is heading towards extinction.
There were many survivors on the street, rushing in the same direction with their families.
His face showed panic and anxiety.
They don’t know when this kind of life will end, nor do they know if they can live until the day when the world returns to normal.
At this moment, human beings seem so small, like a drop of water in the ocean or a grain of sand in the desert.
There is no other way but to go with the flow.
Mu Ci said softly: "They should all be taking refuge in the subway station."
Shi Jiaojiao nodded: "We have to go there too, remember the route, so that if there is any accident on the mountain, we can rush over in the shortest possible time."
Although they had thought of basically everything they could think of when digging the cave.
But if you want to survive in the end times, you have to find a way out for yourself no matter when and where.
Sometimes, a retreat may very well become a way to survive.
The two followed the survivors and soon arrived at the entrance of the subway station.
There were already five long queues here, and there were many soldiers with guns standing around to maintain order.
There were many staff members at the front of the line who were busy registering information.
Each survivor must check in with an ID card.
Of course, the authorities are not completely unkind.
If you have lost your ID card, you can provide your ID number.
In the more than two years since the end of the world, relief food has been distributed countless times, and the identity information of all survivors in S City has been registered.
Unless you haven't received any food.
But is that possible?
Even robbers couldn't resist the temptation of relief food, let alone others.
And today, the official also announced the news that the polar day is coming soon.
This news was like a drop of water falling into a frying pan, instantly shocking everyone.
For a moment, various emotions such as fear, panic, anxiety, despair, and collapse were intertwined together, weaving into an impenetrable net that tightly enveloped the entire city.
Everyone realized the seriousness of the matter.
Midnight sun is coming!
Although I haven’t experienced the polar day, who hasn’t watched a few disaster movies before?
That's the Extreme Hot PLUS version.
Therefore, there were basically no troublemakers in the line in front of the subway station. Everyone followed the instructions obediently just to get into the shelter earlier.
Of course, entry to the shelter is entirely voluntary.
Many people with better conditions did not come because they did not want to crowd with other survivors.
The authorities had anticipated this situation and had been broadcasting safety tips for avoiding polar day on a loop.
Basements, underground garages, cellars, any underground buildings that can block the sun's exposure can serve as shelters.
Shi Jiaojiao memorized the route and prepared to leave with Mu Ci.
Unexpectedly, as soon as the two turned around, they heard a familiar voice coming from behind them.
"Shi Xiao, Mu Ci?"
Shi Jiaojiao was also stunned for a moment, then turned around and found that it was Qin Jun.
Qin Jun walked over, his face showing signs of exhaustion. He forced a smile and said, "I thought I had made a mistake, but I didn't expect it was really you."
Shi Jiaojiao explained: "We heard you say that the water had receded, so we came down to check out the situation."
After saying this, she paused for two seconds and then asked, "The accumulated water is gone, but what about the silt left behind? I'm afraid there will be a plague if the temperature rises."
Qin Jun smiled and said, "Don't worry. We are now sprinkling the new anti-epidemic powder sent from the capital, which can curb the occurrence of the plague to the greatest extent. And the temperature is getting higher and higher. It won't take a day or two for the silt to dry up."
Mu Ci seemed to be thinking about something, and then he took over the conversation: "Can we buy this kind of powder? We can exchange it with points or supplies."
Qin Jun was a little puzzled: "We can sell you some, but we will sprinkle this anti-epidemic powder three times throughout the city. Aren't you wasting your points?"
Mu Ci said: "It's okay, we just bought it for peace of mind."
Qin Jun did not try to persuade them much. He had seen how cautious this brother and sister were. Bai Wu was wearing a gas mask and protective clothing at that time, so it was normal for him to want an extra layer of protection now.
So he nodded in agreement.
In the end, Qin Jun used his connections to approve more quantities for the two people, spending a total of 200 points.
After getting the medicine powder, Shi Jiaojiao and Mu Ci prepared to leave.
Qin Jun looked at the two of them, sighed deeply, and finally uttered two words: "Take care."
Shi Jiaojiao nodded and said with a smile: "See you after the polar day is over."
On the way back, the two could still see many survivors heading in this direction.
Of course, there are also some brave survivors who are busy in various buildings.
These buildings, which have been soaked in water for more than two years, are now the best places to hunt for treasures.
If you want to get rich quickly, you must seize this opportunity.
But opportunities always come with risks.
Good luck means opportunity, bad luck means death.
If you accidentally get scratched by something while searching for supplies, it would be like stepping into the hell.
The problem that could be cured by a shot of tetanus before the end of the world has now become almost incurable.
It’s not that the authorities can’t provide medicine, it’s that the medicine is scarce. Why would people who can afford it take such a big risk to search for supplies?
Not to mention that those things have been soaked for two years, and who knows how many bacteria and mutated viruses are contaminated on them. It is even unknown whether the tetanus tube will be effective.
After Shi Jiaojiao had a general understanding of the situation outside, she prepared to leave with Mu Ci, with no intention of searching for supplies.
There are already enough things in my own space, and I can say that I have no worries about food and clothing. Why should I go and clean out other places like a swarm of locusts?
She didn't want to be a saint and selflessly serve others, but she also didn't want to do things that would cut off other people's livelihoods.
Mu Ci rode a bicycle and Shi Jiaojiao sat on the back, and the two began to rush out of the city.
The ground is all mud now, so the speed of riding a bicycle is not very fast, but it is still better than walking.
Shi Jiaojiao felt that apart from their bicycles which were a bit conspicuous, their entire attire was very low-key today.
In order to prevent the skin from being burned by the sun, the two of them wore long-sleeved shirts and long pants with patches on top of patches on the outside. She also grabbed a handful of dirt and rubbed it on her body and face.
I'm just afraid of encountering some blind people who come and cause trouble.
The weather is so hot now, instead of wasting time cleaning up the place, she might as well go home early and have something good to eat.
They didn't expect that this would happen, they were still being targeted.
Before the two drove out of the street, they heard footsteps coming from behind.
Mu Ci increased his speed, trying to shake those people off.
But those few people refused to give in and even ran after him, cursing him in foul language.
"If you guys know what's best for you, stop right there. I'll give you a quick death in a minute!"
After saying that, he swung the kitchen knife in his hand forward.
Shi Jiaojiao kicked the kitchen knife that was about to fly to her with a cold face, then poked Mu Ci's back: "Brother."
She didn't say anything else, but Mu Ci understood what she meant.
It's not easy to ride a bicycle on this road. No matter how fast you go, you won't be much faster. And judging from the attitudes of those people, they won't give up.
The hot weather already makes people feel irritable, and then there are those blind people who come to cause trouble.
A hint of murderous intent flashed in Shi Jiaojiao's eyes.
Today's matter will not be over until blood is shed.
