After Chen Yiren and the others left the gate, Su Keke took the remaining two sets of protective clothing and went back to the attic with Grandma Qiao.
The two Chen sisters also hurried back to the laundry room to spin-dry the freshly washed sheets and quilt covers, because the electricity would run out in another ten minutes.
They need to be dehydrated quickly. It would be great if there is still a little time left to dry them. In foggy weather, they cannot be dried just by hanging them.
In the attic, as soon as Grandma Qiao returned to the room, she pulled Su Keke aside and asked, "Keke! Can this protective suit really prevent bee stings?"
"Of course I can! If they can block such highly corrosive acid rain, then this tiny stinger will certainly be no problem!"
Su Keke said very affirmatively.
"Grandma Qiao! I think this town is going to be in trouble! Should we evacuate?"
Su Keke placed two sets of unopened protective clothing on the table and asked Grandma Qiao with a serious expression.
"Ah? What kind of trouble is going to happen?"
Grandma Qiao looked at Su Keke in surprise. She really didn't see what kind of trouble was going to happen.
"Poisonous bees! I think there should be a lot of them, maybe even more than we thought."
Su Keke stared intently at the fog outside the window, feeling as if a storm was about to come.
The surrounding environment was so bright that even with the lights on, it was impossible to see the house opposite clearly. No one knew if a war between humans and bees was already going on in the house opposite!
"We have protective suits, don't we? There are probably natural disasters everywhere now, unless we stay in the capsule house and don't come out. But I still like this different life experience, Coco! Can we stay for a few more days? If there is any danger, we can evacuate immediately!"
Grandma Qiao couldn’t explain why she wanted to stay, maybe it was because of the new environment and the new people she met!
"Okay, Grandma Qiao! If you're not afraid, I can stay anywhere. But we still have to take the necessary precautions!"
Su Keke said as she went to check the doors and windows in the room, carefully checking not even the smallest gap.
"Okay! Then I'll go to the bathroom and see if the window is closed?"
Grandma Qiao was even more proactive than Su Keke. She ran to the bathroom in a flash.
After they checked the rooms, they started to eat lunch. It was already 2:50 in the afternoon, and if they didn't eat, the power would go out.
Su Keke took out two boxes of fast food from the space, including scrambled eggs with shrimp, stir-fried pork with green peppers, and several kinds of vegetables. It’s true, the fast food here tastes really good.
Grandma Qiao moved out the small stool from under the table, and the two of them ate lunch in the attic room.
…
In the fog on the other side, Chen Yiren and John each held a high-powered flashlight, protecting Alan, who was carrying Aunt Ji on her back.
Although visibility was low due to the fog, fortunately we didn't encounter any people or obstacles.
After Alan carried Aunt Ji on his back for fifteen minutes, he finally agreed to let someone else carry her at John's strong request.
"It's foggy, there's not even a ghost on the road, where did the poisonous bees come from? I think Su Keke is just worrying too much!"
After Alan handed Aunt Ji over to John, he felt more relaxed and started talking more.
"The girl is doing this for our own good! Stop complaining and just hold the flashlight and watch the road!"
Chen Yiren usually treats A Lan like a younger brother, so she didn't think there was anything wrong with the tone of his voice.
"Got it, boss! Are you tired? Let me help you hold the baseball bat!"
For Alan, who has always been in good physical condition, he can walk in such heavy fog without even getting out of breath.
But Chen Yiren didn't walk much on a normal basis, so she was indeed a little tired after walking for half an hour.
So she handed the baseball bat in her hand to Alan without hesitation.
"Boss! Aren't you stuffy in this outfit? Why don't you just wear goggles on your head like Aunt Ji? Anyway, we have to get to the hospital in half an hour!"
A Lan took the baseball bat and seeing that his boss seemed uncomfortable in the clothes, he gave a warm reminder.
"I'm fine! Aunt Ji fainted, but the protective cap would hinder her breathing, so she only wore goggles. This protective suit looks bulky, but it's actually not uncomfortable to wear."
Chen Yiren patted A Lan on the shoulder, indicating that there was no need to worry about her and that it was important to go to the hospital quickly.
"I say, can you two speak beautiful Mandarin? You've been talking so much all the way, I don't even know what you're saying."
John's physical strength was obviously weaker than Alan's. He had only walked with Aunt Ji on his back for about ten minutes and he was a little out of breath when he spoke.
"Okay, okay! A'lan, remember, when Mr. John is around, we must speak beautiful Mandarin!" Chen Yiren said with a smile.
"Got it, boss!" A Lan held a flashlight and walked on the other side of John, using his arm to help John bear some of his weight.
At this moment, Chen Yiren seemed to hear something running towards them.
"Alan! John! Did you hear that? There are footsteps getting closer."
Chen Yiren asked a little flustered.
"No! Where is the sound?"
John was now only busy catching his breath, and could not hear any sound.
"It sounds like someone is running! Are we really being robbed?"
Alan clenched the baseball bat in his hand and waved the flashlight around, but the fog was too thick and he couldn't see anything farther away.
"Go straight ahead. There is a traffic light 50 meters away. It is about 1,500 meters from here to our destination, Limo Hospital."
Chen Yiren looked at the navigation on her phone and said to John and A Lan, "Whether it's a robbery or not, we can't afford to waste time, let's go!
"John, let me carry you! I can handle the 1,500 meters."
Alan took Aunt Ji from John, and his speed was much faster than John's.
"Yi! Still...young people still have better physical strength!"
John panted, took the flashlight and baseball bat from A Lan, walked beside Chen Yiren and said helplessly.
"What are you saying? A-Lan is only four or five years younger than you. How can you be considered old? If you consider me old, I don't need to live anymore!"
Women are naturally very sensitive about their age, especially beautiful women like Chen Yiren who are over 40 years old, who care even more when others mention the word "old" in front of them.
"Oh! I said something wrong! Yi! Please don't be angry! I'll perform a nice magic trick for you when we get back."
"Boss! Hurry up and follow us. The footsteps are getting closer."
A Lan, carrying Aunt Ji on his back, actually walked faster than Chen Yiren and John. He was afraid of being caught up by the footsteps, so he kept moving forward with all his might.
"Yes, yes! John, let's go!"
Chen Yiren really wanted to slap herself unconscious. It was already this late and she was still worrying about a woman's age.
As long as there is life, age is just a number. If life is gone, there is no point in being young!
