Chapter 239 The Cold-blooded Mu Ci
In just that brief moment, everyone felt their eyes itching, and there was even a moment when their eyes went blank.
Mu Ci reacted quickly and immediately closed the door, blocking out the outside light.
Wang Jia's face was almost wrinkled like a rag that hadn't been washed for more than ten years. "How are you going to go back now?"
Her face showed regret and self-blame. She should not have prepared this meal earlier.
If anything happened to Shi Jiaojiao and Mu Ci on the road, she would rather die a hundred times.
Although it is only a short twenty meters.
Shi Jiaojiao and Mu Ci wore sunglasses when they went out, so they didn't have to worry about their eyes. However, this time they only wore sun protection clothing, and they didn't know if they could withstand the strong light outside.
But now that things have come to this, we have no choice but to charge forward, whether we can resist or not.
Tang Wei spoke up at this time: "Jia Jia and I have thermal blankets in our earthquake bags. It should be safer for you two to wear those."
Shi Jiaojiao waved her hand to refuse.
The thermal blanket was taken away by her and Mu Ci, so what would Tang Wei use?
Wang Jia looked at the two of them and said, "How about you stay here and go back when things get back to normal outside?"
Mu Ci refused, "We can't delay it. Now that the polar day has begun, the situation will definitely become more severe day by day."
They had to go back immediately; every second they stayed here would increase the danger.
After saying that, he glanced at Shi Jiaojiao, as if asking if she was ready.
Shi Jiaojiao nodded.
Wang Jia looked at the two of them eagerly, muttering to herself constantly. She had counted all the gods and Buddhas in heaven, hoping that they would be safe today.
Shi Jiaojiao and Mu Ci are both decisive people. Once they have made a decision, they will not hesitate.
As soon as the door was opened, the two rushed out.
Twenty meters is neither long nor short.
Shi Jiaojiao didn't even feel anything, and she and Mu Ci returned safely.
But when I entered the cave and stopped, I felt a burning pain all over my body, and my skin felt like it was being pricked by needles.
Mu Ci turned on the light and immediately looked at Shi Jiaojiao nervously.
Check the cheeks, neck, arms, and back inch by inch, not missing any part.
He was so cautious, as if he was treating a fragile porcelain vase.
When he checked the arm, he suddenly heard a "hissing" sound.
It was at this moment that Shi Jiaojiao noticed the blisters on her hands.
Most of them are on the back of the hands. Although they are not big, there are quite a few of them, which looks a bit shocking.
Shi Jiaojiao endured the pain and immediately tried to take off Mu Ci's clothes: "Brother, are you hurt?"
Only after she checked the other person did she feel relieved.
I don’t know if it’s because men are meant to have thicker skin and tougher flesh, but apart from some redness on the exposed skin on his body, there were no blisters.
Mu Ci pushed the man onto the bed, took out the burn ointment from the medicine box and applied it carefully. His eyebrows and eyes were full of heartache, and he wished that he was the one who got hurt.
Shi Jiaojiao couldn't bear to see him like this, so she smiled and changed the subject: "Brother, do you think that as a patient, you should get some special treatment?"
Mu Ci didn't even raise his head: "Tell me, what do you want?"
Shi Jiaojiao cleared her throat and asked tentatively, "Unlimited ice cream until your injury heals?"
Although she knew that this request was fantastic, it was not against the law to ask.
What if her brother feels sorry for her and agrees?
Mu Ci put away the ointment and said, "Don't even think about it."
The smile on Shi Jiaojiao's face disappeared instantly.
Sure enough, Mu Ci is still the cold-blooded and ruthless Mu Ci.
Within two minutes, Wang Jia's voice came from the intercom.
"Jiaojiao, are you guys back? Are you okay?"
Shi Jiaojiao said: "Don't worry, we have arrived home safely."
After hearing this, Wang Jia finally felt relieved.
Shi Jiaojiao thought of the wound on her hand, and then warned: "You and Tang Wei must wear sunglasses and thermal blankets when you go out. The light here is too harsh, and it is not even on the same level as the extreme heat."
Wang Jiaxin asked again: "Are you injured?"
Shi Jiaojiao did not hide her injury, and also wanted to remind Wang Jia and the others.
If I were injured, I still had medicine, but Wang Jia and the others had no space. The few medicines they had left were either expired or had lost their effectiveness. If I was injured, I could only endure it.
The situation outside was like that, and both of them felt a little heavy in their hearts, so they put down the walkie-talkie after a few words.
What they didn't know was that from the moment the sun turned orange-red, the white fog that had plagued S City for many days also dissipated instantly.
From this day on, the polar day officially arrives and the night completely disappears.
From now on, there is no distinction between day and night.
No one knows how long this disaster will last, or whether they can live to see the night fall.
During the two days of recuperation, although Mu Ci controlled the amount of ice cream and cold drinks Shi Jiaojiao ate, he still felt distressed when he saw the injuries on her hands, so he cooked every meal himself during the past few days.
Apart from foods that are oily or spicy and are not conducive to wound recovery, everything else can be said to be what you ask for.
With the bonus of the physical fitness enhancement pills, Shi Jiaojiao's recovery speed is faster than expected.
In just two days, all the wounds on her hands healed without leaving any scars.
After the polar day fell, Shi Jiaojiao also contacted Qin Jun once using a satellite phone.
Although the authorities made a lot of preparations in advance, they were still somewhat stretched in the face of such an unprecedented large-scale disaster as the polar day.
Fortunately, everything is still under control.
The survivors in the city, even those who did not enter the shelter, have found their own places to hide.
And the authorities have been working hard to pump groundwater.
However, as the polar day begins and the temperature rises, the groundwater level is bound to drop, so in order to store more drinking water, the authorities have filtered a lot of seawater in advance.
Although the filtered seawater still contains some substances that are harmful to the human body, we can no longer care about them under the current circumstances.
City S is close to the sea, so at least it can be supported by sea water. For other cities far away from the ocean, the situation will only be worse.
Regarding this, Shi Jiaojiao could only sigh and pray in her heart that the end of the world would end soon.
She has a golden house and is not short of water, but it is a dream to ask her to supply drinking water to a whole city or even the whole country.
Even if she drained the water 24 hours a day without sleep, it would not be enough.
Moreover, in the end times, people’s hearts are unpredictable. Once her space is exposed, it is hard to say whether it will be used to rescue her compatriots or eventually become a personal mobile reservoir for some senior official.
The impact of polar day is not just about water and food shortage.
If the external light is too bright, it will not only seriously affect sleep, but also make people more irritable and aggressive if they are exposed to sunlight for a long time.
There are also many cases of mental breakdown and group suicide.
With no end in sight for disasters that keep coming one after another, one will miss the peaceful and beautiful days of the past more and more. With too many sweet memories, one will not be able to bear the bitterness of today, and in the end, one can only seek relief through death.
Shi Jiaojiao and the other three lived much better than most people.
No matter how bright it is outside, once the door is closed, it is pitch black inside the cave and you have to live your life as usual.
With the help of air conditioning, I even feel that life here is more comfortable than when I was in Tiantai Community.
At least I don't have to worry about being targeted by survivors with bad intentions every day.
But there is one bad thing, which is that you can't notice the passage of time.
There was no day or night, and if their watches were not still working properly, they would not even know whether the day was over.
