“Acid rain is coming!”
This thought suddenly popped up in Su Keke's mind.
Fortunately, their SUV was parked not far away, so Su Keke quickly pulled Grandma Qiao towards the SUV while there was still time.
"Manager Zhou, please get everyone to a safe place to hide. It's raining acid!"
Su Keke and Grandma Qiao ran while shouting loudly to Manager Zhou behind them.
"What? What acid rain?" Manager Zhou was still standing there in confusion. Why did these two suddenly run away? Weren't they going to meet the person in charge of the construction site? Why did they suddenly run away?
"What's going on?"
In the first tent on the left, Li Zheng had just finished dinner and was about to take his lunch box to the construction site kitchen to get some boiled water. There was a boiler there that would provide hot water at night.
People on the construction site can drink water or take some home to wash up.
There is spring water in Lanshan. The government workers who came to survey the area early on had already led a spring to the foot of the mountain, so they have relatively free access to water when building the base here.
But Li Zheng came in a hurry this time and forgot to bring a water cup. Now he could only follow the example of his co-workers and come over with his lunch box to get some water after dinner, otherwise he would choke after eating these two steamed buns.
"Minister Li, two people just asked me to bring them to you, saying they wanted to donate things to our construction site. But when they arrived at your place, they suddenly ran away, saying something about acid rain. I don't know what they want to do."
Listening to Manager Zhou's nonsensical words, Li Zheng suddenly felt like he was struck by lightning, and remembered the anonymous letter at the beginning of the natural disaster.
Acid rain seems to have been mentioned above. The government is now preparing for future earthquakes, but it ignores the acid rain that occurred before the earthquakes.
Is acid rain really coming now?
At this moment, two drops of steaming acid rain fell right in front of Li Zheng and Manager Zhou. The soil on the ground instantly melted into a circle, and with a crackling sound, a burst of white smoke came out.
"Is it...really acid rain?" Manager Zhou finally understood what Su Keke meant by what she had said to him just now.
"Quick! Blow the whistle and tell everyone in the tent to hide in the small cave where we store supplies."
Li Zheng suddenly realized the seriousness of the problem and quickly took out his satellite phone to call Mayor Chen Guodong.
There had been no sign of acid rain there yet, so Chen Guodong immediately sent someone to drive a car and place loudspeakers in the streets and alleys of Lingcheng after receiving the call.
"Extreme warning! Extreme warning! Strongly corrosive acid rain is approaching. All citizens are requested to return home immediately to avoid it. If you are still on the road, be sure to find a shelter. Acid rain is highly corrosive. Do not use wood or plastic to block the rain to avoid danger."
At the Lanshan base, Su Keke and Grandma Qiao ran into the off-road vehicle safely.
"But what should we do now? There are only tents here, which can't protect us from the erosion of acid rain. Where can so many people on the construction site go? Chen Da is still in the tent! Chen Li just called us and asked us to keep an eye on him!" Grandma Qiao said anxiously.
Outside the off-road vehicle, several drops of acid rain were slowly falling intermittently.
Su Keke and Grandma Qiao could both feel a loud wheezing sound coming from the back of the car. Soon, several steaming dents appeared on the roof of their SUV.
"Granny Qiao, don't worry! We have stockpiled acid rain protection suits!"
Su Keke quickly replaced the military rations that were to be sent to the base in the back seat and trunk of the car with acid rain protective clothing.
Su Keke and Grandma Qiao entered the space, changed into protective clothing, and hurriedly drove to Chen Da to pick him up.
Chen Da and his companions had just finished the meal sent by Grandma Qiao. Before they had time to pack up their lunch boxes, a hole suddenly appeared in the tent above their heads.
"Oh my god! Who threw a cigarette butt into our tent? There's a big hole in it. It's going to leak when it rains!"
Wang had just finished complaining when there was another loud noise behind him and a hole appeared in the tent above his head.
"Who the hell is wrong! Is this going to stop? Smoking a few cigarettes is a big deal! Do you still need to show off like this? Be careful or I will report you to Manager Zhou!"
Xiaojun's anger was rising rapidly due to the two holes. He wanted to go out and find the person who threw the cigarette butt and give him a good scolding!
Suddenly, a sharp whistle sounded outside, followed by Manager Zhou's shout, "Attention! Strong corrosive acid rain is coming, everyone please pay attention to safety, find shelter and leave the tent as soon as possible, and take shelter in the cave behind!"
"What is acid rain?"
Old Li had no idea about the horror of acid rain and didn't take it seriously at all. He was still thinking about helping Chen Da wash the lunch boxes outside.
"Rain that tastes a bit sour? I've never tasted it before!"
Xiaojun was thinking that when the acid rain falls later, he would try some. If it tastes good, could it be used as a drink or something?
"Be careful! This acid rain is not a good thing. The two holes just now were probably burned by the acid rain. It would be terrible if it dripped onto someone."
Chen Da packed his lunch box into the bag given by Su Keke and hid it under his bed together with his bag.
This camp bed is a folding bed made of metal and wooden frames. There is a quilt on the bed, which should be able to block the acid rain a little.
He still remembered that before the rash virus, Su Keke had sent them several sets of protective clothing. There were two types at the time, one for anti-virus and the other for anti-acid rain.
But Chen Da didn't care much about it at the time. Now he thinks it would have been better if he had brought a set of protective clothing to protect against acid rain.
“Ah…ah…it hurts!”
"Oh my god! There's a hole burned on my shoulder!"
"Help! Why is this acid rain like sulfuric acid? My legs! Ah!"
It was already in chaos outside, and some of the people who ventured out were injured by the acid rain.
The holes above the tent of Chen Da and his three companions were becoming more and more visible to the naked eye.
Lao Li and Wang Gang planned to run to the small cave where the supplies were stored that Manager Zhou mentioned.
They opened the tent and just took a right foot out when there were a few crackling sounds and several drops of acid rain brushed past the feet of Lao Li and Wang Gang and fell down. A few wisps of white smoke rose from the ground, scaring them so much that they quickly retreated back into the tent.
"Let's hide under the bed first. The acid rain is getting heavier. If we go out now, we will definitely be burned like a hornet's nest."
After Chen Da shouted at them, he quickly hid under the camp bed.
Seeing this, the other three quickly hid under their beds.
Boom boom boom! Chila chila!
Chen Da heard the acid rain getting heavier under the bed, and the bed board above his head was filled with the smell of burnt quilts.
"Keke, I don't know what's going on with Aunt Qiao and the others."
Chen Da finally breathed a sigh of relief and remembered Grandma Qiao and Su Keke. They seemed to have gone to the construction site kitchen.
Hearing them say they were going to look for Manager Zhou, they must have already gone to hide in that small cave.
"That's good!" Chen Da finally breathed a sigh of relief, feeling that Su Keke and the others should be fine.
"Ahem! Ahem! The quilt on my bed seems to be on fire!"
Old Li was choked by the thick smoke and could only cough. The others were not much better. The situation in the tent was not optimistic.
