Chapter 72: World-destroying Acid Rain
On the third day, at 4:30 in the afternoon, the acid rain came again on time.
All the survivors watched from the window in fear.
Fear, worry, and despair surround everyone.
But Shi Jiaojiao and the other three are different.
Several people stood by the window, and Mu Ci stared at the timer.
Outside the window, there was a row of empty cans hanging.
The mouth of the bottle was tied with circles of wire and clamped in the gap of the window.
This is what Shi Jiaojiao suddenly thought of.
Ever since the acid rain began, she had been in a state of anxiety and couldn't even think calmly.
Now that I have discussed countermeasures with my friends, I feel much calmer.
Although there is no guarantee that their plan will go smoothly, they have done their best.
The rest is up to fate.
When all thoughts were sorted out, Shi Jiaojiao suddenly discovered.
Although acid rain brings disaster, it is not useless.
The days ahead will undoubtedly become increasingly difficult.
The bottom line of humanity has been lowered again and again.
And acid rain is the best weapon.
Just imagine, if you meet someone who wants to come upstairs and pry the door open, you don’t even need to draw your knife, just throw a bottle of acid rain at them.
Just ask, who can bear it?
After the acid rain ended, Mu Ci spoke first, "Two hours."
Shi Jiaojiao thought, if nothing unexpected happens, the acid rain will last for four hours tomorrow.
Increase exponentially.
This result filled everyone with a sense of urgency.
They don't have much time left.
If the pattern is correct, then the day after tomorrow will be 8 hours, and the day after that will be 16 hours.
What's the final result?
Will the acid rain continue all day?
Shi Jiaojiao took out a few pairs of protective gloves and distributed them to everyone.
Tang Wei touched her lovingly, "Wang Jia was right in giving you a nickname."
Shi Jiaojiao put on her gloves and subconsciously asked, "What's your nickname?"
"Doraemon."
Tang Wei and Wang Jia answered in unison.
Shi Jiaojiao was speechless and explained helplessly, "My brother and I are both adventure enthusiasts. Isn't it normal to have something like this?"
The two nodded, not knowing whether they believed it or not.
But Shi Jiaojiao didn't care. She had already explained it anyway. No matter how outrageous Tang Wei and Wang Jia were or how imaginative they were, they would never guess that she had a space.
The four of them carefully brought the cans in through the window.
However, due to the strong corrosiveness, the iron wires on two bottles were burned off.
As soon as the bottle is brought in, close the window immediately.
In just a moment, the acidic gas had drifted into the room through the window gaps.
Even though everyone wore two layers of masks, their throats still felt a little uncomfortable.
After Shi Jiaojiao cleaned the bottle, she tested it again with pH test paper.
Today's pH value has increased again, to 1.
This is the only good news.
If it's 0.3 intensity acid rain every day, there's no need to resist, just lie down and wait for death.
Even if you can escape acid rain, you can't escape acid gases.
In the end, only nine cans were left.
Shi Jiaojiao divided the bottle into four parts.
As the extra bottle was Shi Jiaojiao's, everyone unanimously decided to give it to her.
Shi Jiaojiao did not refuse.
However, everyone is now facing a serious problem.
That's the acidic gas that's permeating outside.
After some discussion, they decided to go out two hours later.
The air outside is now at its most acidic level, and going out would undoubtedly be seeking death.
Everyone was not idle either, and they all went home to prepare their equipment for going out.
Three hours later, the rain on the ground had evaporated.
The acidity in the air also dropped significantly.
Although there are still some, the damage caused is minimal after wearing a mask.
Before leaving, Shi Jiaojiao turned the electric grid outside the iron gate on the corridor on the 19th floor to the highest level.
Try to catch one and electrocute him to death.
This time I went out, I only drove a Hummer.
The Hummer was modified, and the best materials were used at the time, and the tires were also corrosion-resistant.
Tang Wei’s SUV is not so good.
Although there is less space for transporting goods, it is also a helpless move. We can only speed up and make as many trips as possible.
Try to collect all the materials within one day.
The noise of the car driving out of the community was heard by many people.
Some smart ones have already followed the pace of the people on the 20th floor and went out to search for supplies, such as Yang Fan and his wife.
Some people think that the people on the 20th floor are just bored and would be seeking death if they go out now.
Moreover, the government distributes relief food on time. Wouldn’t it be better for us to just stay at home and do our homework?
There were also some people who secretly cursed Shi Jiaojiao and the other three.
I hope they will never come back this time.
However, Shi Jiaojiao and the other three ignored the gazes of others.
They are racing against acid rain, so they have no time to care about those little vegetables.
After coming out of the garage and seeing the scene outside, the four of them fell silent.
All the cars, street lights, billboards, and long-dried trees on both sides of the road that were exposed outside the building... were all severely corroded.
The car parked on the side of the road was corroded and full of potholes. The paint on the body of the car had peeled off, leaving marks. The steel rims of the wheels were rusted and the tires had lost their original shape.
The trash cans and street lamps that were originally neatly placed on the street could no longer be seen in their original shapes.
It's like an ice cube melting bit by bit.
The already dry trees have turned into charred skin, as if they had been burned by a fire.
The outer walls and tops of many low-rise buildings were damaged and looked shaky.
Who would have thought that one day the earth would have such terrible acid rain.
The streets were silent except for the occasional sound of the body collection truck. It seemed as if they were the only ones left in the world.
Shi Jiaojiao and the other three looked at the city that they were once familiar with, but now it had become dilapidated and no longer had any trace of the city they remembered.
A feeling of sadness welled up in their hearts.
Mu Ci drove quickly and his first stop was the villa area where Wang Jia used to live.
This is Shi Jiaojiao's third time here.
The world-destroying acid rain treats every region indiscriminately.
No matter how high-end and expensive this place was in the past, it still has to face the invasion of acid rain now.
Including the residents in the villa, there is no difference between them and ordinary people outside.
Of course, except for that small group of elites at the top of the pyramid.
They probably already have found a better place, or have been protected by the state and moved away in advance.
As for the rest of the people, no matter how rich they were in the past or how much property they held, they now stayed in their houses in fear like other ordinary people.
They kept praying that the acid rain would stop and that the house would be stronger and able to withstand the corrosion of the acid rain.
Shi Jiaojiao and the other three ignored the prying eyes from other people in the villa.
They have no intention of competing for other people's survival supplies.
The four of them headed straight for the target villa.
Fortunately, no one else has moved into the villa since Wang Jia left.
The two men took the lead in climbing onto the roof and began to remove the PVC tiles.
This kind of tile comes in a large piece, so it is easy to disassemble.
Wang Jia took Shi Jiaojiao into the warehouse in the villa.
However, good luck does not always come.
Apparently, there were no materials left in the warehouse.
Because the tiles are too large to fit inside the car, they can only be tied to the roof.
This time, in addition to the tiles, all the glass that could be removed was also taken away.
The four of them passed through like a swarm of locusts.
Although, many things in the villa had been searched and taken away by others.
But the four of them still didn't let it go.
It’s not easy to get out now, so I will never leave behind anything I can take away.
The curtains can be taken down and used as blankets, so you can light a fire without having to go back.
All kinds of furniture were chopped up on the spot with an axe and taken home to be used as firewood.
The four of them didn't leave until the car was packed completely without any space left.
