◎Happy Day 48: Old Popsicle's Revenge Plan◎
"Let's go, let's go!" Jiang Muyun pulled Chu Buwen and ran away.
Dabai simply hid in Chu Buwen's pocket and refused to come out. Xiaobai ran faster than both of them and was almost knocked over by Jiang Muyun.
Halfway through, Jiang Muyun's eyes flickered, and a ball of orange-red color passed over his head.
When she looked up, she found that a cable car extended from the top of Nanshan Mountain to the small hill opposite. There was indeed a person dressed in orange and red, wearing a safety buckle and carrying a large bag, sliding out of the cable car.
The two men and the dog ran wildly in the rain, and Jiang Muyun almost fell into the cave.
The two of them looked so embarrassed when they rushed into the cave that everyone in the cave was frightened by them.
Someone trembled and asked, "What, what happened? Is there a tsunami?"
Jiang Muyun was barely catching his breath when he said, "It's even worse. There's an oil leak and a fire is burning outside."
Everyone in the cave gathered around in an instant.
The staff member who brought them here was shocked: "What do you mean? What do you mean by oil spill? Is it that the oil is leaking from the mountain?"
Jiang Muyun shook his head and pushed the person away. "It came with the tsunami. There's an underwater oil pipeline leak. You'd better prepare early and go to the innermost part of the cave."
After saying that, without waiting for the man to ask any more questions, the two of them squeezed into the corner with the help of Qin Shiwen.
"Take out towels, clothes and other things and put them down as cushions. Do you have an emergency blanket?" Jiang Muyun looked at Chu Buwen.
Chu Buwen opened the outer pocket of his backpack and took out four tightly packed blankets and several packages of ordinary thermal blankets.
Jiang Muyun breathed a sigh of relief: "That's enough."
The emergency life-saving blanket looks similar to an ordinary thermal blanket, but its heat insulation and cold insulation are much stronger than those of a thermal blanket. To put it bluntly, it is professional thermal insulation.
It is versatile, easy to carry and lightweight, making it a common configuration in escape backpacks in high temperature environments.
Jiang Muyun also had a few pieces in his escape backpack, but they were originally used to prevent them from hypothermia in the water. He didn't expect that they would now be used for heat insulation.
Jiang Muyun felt the movement behind her, and she quickly moved to the side, grabbed the man's outstretched arm and twisted it. Not surprisingly, she heard the other person cry out in pain.
"Stop shouting, it's not a big deal." Jiang Muyun let go of his hand and continued to do his own thing.
She knew that the people in the cave would not suddenly attack and hurt anyone at this moment. She just attacked out of habit and deliberately restrained her strength.
The man was a stranger, covered in mud and looked extremely miserable.
He covered his arm, gasped, and asked, "Explain yourself clearly. What oil? What's on fire?"
Jiang Muyun's hands kept moving as he removed the emergency blanket. "Have you ever tried stone pot chicken? When the fire comes over soon, the mountain outside might turn into a stone pot, and we'll be the chicken in the stone pot now."
The only thing we can hope for is that the mountain is thick enough so that the innermost walls of the cave will not be burned.
After Chu Buwen took out the clothes, he spread a life blanket on the ground, then directly laid down the four suitcases, squatted on the suitcases, and piled all the clothes against the wall.
Once the wall temperature gets too high, these things are the last layer of protection from getting burned.
Jiang Muyun spread a life blanket on the pile of clothes, but it slipped down several times. Only then did she realize that her hands were shaking slightly.
She took a deep breath, forced herself to calm down, and turned to look at the people still panicking in the cave. "When we saw it, the fire had already reached the city of Nanshi. It will be here in a few minutes. If you don't want to be burned, hurry up and build something to insulate yourself. Try to get to the innermost part of the cave."
It is said for others to hear, and also for yourself to hear.
There is no point in being afraid at this time. You must stay calm and find a way to survive.
Even if you haven't eaten pork, you have seen pigs running. If you are caught in the fire and burned without any preparation, you can imagine what the outcome will be.
After Jiang Muyun said this, no one else had the energy to get to the bottom of the pipeline leak. They should just follow Jiang Muyun's example and make a thermal insulation device. Saving their lives is the most important thing!
Not everyone has the habit of preparing an escape backpack. Without an emergency blanket, everyone can only spread clothes on the ground layer by layer.
Those who had suitcases with them also followed Jiang Muyun and the others' example and used the suitcases as padding on the ground.
Some people even set their eyes on Jiang Muyun and the others' emergency life blanket, and no one knew what they were planning.
Just when everyone was busy insulating themselves, another person stumbled into the cave entrance.
The man was wearing an orange-red heat-insulating suit and holding a large bag of unknown substance in his arms. He gasped in fear and said, "It's coming...it's burning...quickly use it as a cushion!"
After saying that, he turned over his pocket and the contents fell to the ground. Someone immediately recognized it: "It's a life blanket!"
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone immediately put down what they were doing and rushed over like a swarm of bees to grab the emergency blanket.
The person who brought the life blanket was directly drowned in the crowd.
The military personnel were standing higher than them and should have been the first to discover the sea of fire.
Ninety-nine percent of the soldiers were assigned to organize the evacuation of the masses, and the government had few manpower available.
The fact that there was no loudspeaker to announce this just now probably means that the military has used all the manpower it can mobilize to dispatch and transport emergency life blankets.
Just like the man Jiang Muyun and the others saw when they returned to the cave, sliding down the simple cableway to the opposite hill.
Jiang Muyun and his friends had enough emergency blankets, so there was no need to fight with others. They were busy organizing their own insulation layer.
Jiang Muyun took out a knife, disassembled a few life straws, and poured all the composite filter material inside onto the mask.
Chu Buwen knew what she wanted to do when he saw her actions.
It was too late to go outside to collect rainwater.
Chu Buwen unscrewed a bottle of mineral water, wet the towel and handed it to Jiang Muyun. He poured the remaining water in the bottle directly on Jiang Muyun's back.
The others followed suit, unscrewing the water bottles and pouring the water on themselves and the clothes around them. Now was not the time to save water.
Jiang Muyun wrapped the mask with a wet towel and handed it to a few people: "Use this to cover your mouth and nose later."
Burning oil will produce harmful gases, and now they have nowhere to find gas masks. Unless Jiang Muyun dares to expose the space in public and perform magic with his bare hands, they can only make do with this for now.
The composite filter material in the LifeStraw also contains a large amount of activated carbon, which should be able to filter out some toxic components.
Judging from the scope of the tsunami that Jiang Muyun and Chu Buwen had just seen, it was impossible for crude oil to spread over such a large area and burn from Haishi all the way to Nanshi. It was impossible for it to burn for several days and nights like it would in a static state.
Judging from the momentum of this tsunami, it is impossible for these small hills in the western suburbs to stop it. It will definitely continue to advance inland, and it will most likely not stop until it reaches an area with no or shallow water.
This is a disaster for countless people, but it is also their way of survival.
There was nothing flammable on their side of the mountain, which meant that as long as they could survive the tsunami, they would have a chance of survival.
Perhaps because of the approaching tsunami, Jiang Muyun felt a slight tremor under his feet.
Jiang Muyun covered himself from head to toe with a life-saving blanket: "Here I come, put on the life-saving blanket!"
Several people lowered their center of gravity, curled up their hands and feet, and lay down on the suitcases with their heads buried in their arms, trying to use their bodies to retain a piece of air at normal temperature for them to breathe.
They were wrapped in a life-saving blanket, and then covered with a regular thermal blanket for double insurance. The suitcases were also padded with partitions above and below, wrapping themselves up tightly, pressing down every corner with their bodies, leaving no space at all.
The two chickens were placed in the corner, with an emergency blanket covering the cage and clothes all around. It depended on themselves whether they could survive.
Dabai hid in Chu Buwen's arms, curled up into a small black ball. Xiaobai was protected by Jiang Muyun, not daring to move.
Jiang Muyun and his companions seemed to be the guide for everyone in the cave. The people who were just looking for something to bedding, immediately followed Jiang Muyun and his companions and lay down on their mats as soon as they saw their actions. Some people followed their example and covered their mouths and noses with wet towels.
Maybe it was because the city was flooded, but Jiang Muyun didn't hear the legendary loud noise before the tsunami. Instead, his ears were filled with a buzzing sound like the earth shaking.
The moment the waves hit the mountain, all the sounds disappeared. Jiang Muyun felt that he was briefly suspended in the air, and then fell heavily on the suitcase.
She could even feel the shape of the vacuum-packed rice bricks inside the suitcase.
The inside of the cave was suddenly illuminated in a strange orange-red color.
Jiang Muyun pressed the corners of the emergency life blanket with her body, covered her mouth and nose with a wet towel filled with filter material with one hand, and covered Xiaobai with the other hand. After the tremor, she even couldn't keep her balance and had to use her shoulders to slightly lean against the mountain wall.
Once the sea of fire arrives and heats the mountain, the clothes placed against the mountain wall may not provide much protection, but it is better than falling to the ground due to unstable center of gravity and becoming barbecued in a stone pot.
However, when the entire mountain was burned, no matter how much padding they used, it was useless.
There is only a difference between the scattered pieces of meat roasted in a stone pot and a whole roasted suckling pig in the oven.
Although the latter looked intact, her expression must have been very ugly when she was roasted to death, and it doesn't seem to be a dignified way to die.
The temperature around her gradually rose. It was not known whether it was the steam condensing into water droplets on her body or sweating due to the high temperature, but liquid kept sliding down Jiang Muyun's forehead, drop by drop falling in front of her eyes, forming a small puddle.
Jiang Muyun felt dizzy and his mind was full of random thoughts.
The sea water flows from east to west, and fresh water continuously fills the water wall that covers the sky and the sun. At the same time, it also continuously cools down the boiling sea water. The water vapor evaporated back and forth covers the sky and the sun. Now the visibility in the cave has been reduced to the lowest.
Suddenly Jiang Muyun's body trembled, and the suitcase she was lying on tilted slightly.
It seemed that a small area in the lower left corner closest to the mountain wall was softened by the heat, and then it was flattened when she pressed it.
Jiang Muyun moved forward slightly, but unexpectedly felt a sharp pain in his left shoulder.
She tilted her head slightly. Perhaps she had used too much force just now, and her left shoulder was broken. Blood was seeping out from under her clothes.
Fortunately, only her shoulder was scratched and the life blanket was still intact, otherwise her shoulder would have been cooked by now.
Jiang Muyun managed to keep his center of gravity steady and keep his skinned left shoulder away from the cliff.
Although keeping her left shoulder against the wall would help her maintain her balance and numb her pain, Jiang Muyun didn't want to throw in the towel yet. If she injured her bones and left any sequelae, it would be difficult to deal with in the future.
Looking at it this way, the humidity and heat when it just rained was nothing. Now she was the real crab being steamed in the pot, unable to move at all.
Jiang Muyun had to protect Xiaobai under him and also hold down the life blanket wrapped around her.
Once she loses the protection of the emergency blanket, the outside temperature is likely to burn her instantly.
Jiang Muyun was not able to move, but the tilt angle of the suitcase did not change.
She could feel herself gradually sliding downward to the left.
Jiang Muyun had no choice but to press Xiaobai's head into his arms, then free his hands to grab the front of the suitcase and adjust its position.
Chu Buwen, who was standing opposite Jiang Muyun, suddenly reached out and pulled her forward.
Jiang Muyun was shocked.
In just a moment of reaching out to rescue the person, Chu Buwen's arm had begun to turn red.
But at least Jiang Muyun was able to completely stabilize his body center of gravity.
She was not the only one whose suitcases melted in the cave.
Qin Shiwu's body suddenly trembled, and then he couldn't help but raise his head and look forward, trying to move to stabilize himself.
But before Qin Shiwu could make a move, he was startled by the scorching hot steam coming towards him and quickly buried his head again.
Qin Shiwen's body shifted slightly and supported herself behind her brother, allowing Qin Shiwu to find his center of gravity again.
The even more miserable ones had no suitcases and were not careful when wrapping themselves with the life blanket, so they failed to wrap themselves completely in it. They could only rely on the clothes they had laid out earlier to provide some insulation, and then stick close to the inner wall of the cave, using the relatively cool stone wall to barely avoid the high temperature.
Someone was so numb from the pain that they were completely unaware of their injuries. By chance, they caught a glimpse of the horrific wound on their right hand, which was clutching the emergency blanket, and lost control and raised their body.
The scorching steam instantly seeped into the gap and enveloped him, causing his already severely injured right hand to feel even more excruciating pain.
The man couldn't help but scream.
Witnessing with my own eyes a part of my body first turning red, then turning from red to white and gradually becoming cooked, the psychological pressure was greater than the physical pain.
The moment his legs went weak and he knelt on the ground, everyone in the cave seemed to hear a "sizzling" sound.
This time, the man's shouting was cut off halfway.
It was as if his throat was blocked and he could only squeeze out a frightened roar.
The hotter and more painful he felt, the more he wanted to breathe deeply and scream for help. His throat was filled with so much scalding steam that it was filled with blisters.
Now the temperature of the mountain walls and the ground is only the surface temperature, and the interior of the mountain has not yet been heated.
As long as the man could hide in a corner as soon as he was injured and protect himself with a life blanket, he would have a chance of survival.
No matter whether the wound will get infected later, at least he won’t die now.
Everyone understands the principle, but cannot do it.
He saw with his own eyes that part of his body was steamed, how could he still have any sanity left?
A middle-aged man near him listened to the whole process of the man's death with his head down.
The middle-aged man couldn't help but want to look at his numb hands, but he couldn't guarantee that he could remain calm after looking at them. He was afraid that he would end up like that man.
A sob escaped from the middle-aged man's throat. He closed his eyes tightly, wrapped himself tightly in the life blanket, and curled up against the stone wall, forcing himself to ignore all sounds from the outside world.
The thick mountain trapped them in the cave, like a bunch of meat stewed in a pot.
But such mountains also protected them, blocking the terrifying temperatures from the outside world.
Scalding steam rushed in from the small hole.
However, it is these water vapors that quickly cool down and condense into water again after encountering the stone walls in the cave, which in turn stops the temperature of the mountain from rising.
Jiang Muyun used her elbows to support her upper body on the life blanket. Suddenly, she heard a click and her upper body sank again.
This time it was the front of the trunk that was melted.
Just with such a simple movement, Jiang Muyun's back rubbed against the life-saving blanket, and a piercing pain and itching climbed up from her tailbone and slowly occupied her entire brain.
My back must have been burned.
The burned skin is already fragile, and when she moved just now, she probably scraped the skin somewhere on her back.
A life-saving blanket only provides thermal insulation, not some mysterious property like invulnerability to water or fire. At this temperature, getting burned while wrapped in a life-saving blanket is perfectly normal.
As long as he's not scalded to death, everything will be fine, Jiang Muyun thought with a smile on his face.
It’s best not to boil it. To cut off such a large piece of meat from her back, she would have to take anti-inflammatory drugs like meals to survive.
Of course, it would have been better if she hadn't moved just now. She was used to the burn, and she wouldn't pay special attention to her back unless a new type of pain appeared to make her presence felt.
Now it hurts and itches but I can’t scratch it. It’s really hard to bear.
A warm and cool touch fell on her cheek. Jiang Muyun tilted her head slightly and found that it was Xiaobai's tongue.
She was startled. Hadn't she been covering Xiaobai's mouth and nose?
When she tried to move her left hand again, she found that her left arm was numb, and the slightest movement felt like it was being bitten by ants.
Xiaobai licked her twice more, and Jiang Muyun realized that the other half of her face was also wet.
She blinked, as if her eyes were a little sore.
It must be because of the pain that I just shed tears.
Jiang Muyun's heart was melted by Xiaobai's sweetness. It really wasn't in vain that her sister loved her so much.
Jiang Muyun reluctantly moved his numb arm and covered Xiaobai's mouth and nose again.
Son, don't be clingy now. You have to stay with your sister for a few more years.
Sizzle——
Water flooded into the cave.
The stone wall at the entrance of the cave, which was heated by the high temperature outside, made a harsh sound when it came into contact with the water.
However, judging from the fact that the temperature in the cave has not continued to rise for the time being, there should be no oil floating on the water.
And it's not the water on the surface that is burned to boiling hot.
Jiang Muyun didn't know whether to be happy or sad.
If this water was brought in by waves, it would be a life-saving rain from heaven.
But if the water was caused by a tsunami that caused the water level to rise rapidly and poured directly into the cave, then they would be boiled in water.
The steam in the cave made her feel a little short of oxygen. She struggled to use her slightly dull brain, and even pulled the life blanket on her body, using the pain to stimulate herself to stay awake.
one two three……
Jiang Muyun counted down silently in his heart.
The water rushed in by the waves must be small and discontinuous, so the water level in the cave cannot rise very quickly.
But if the accumulated water from outside flows back into the cave, the water level will definitely rise very quickly.
At that time, instead of waiting to die in the cave, it would be better to rush out and dive into the water. Maybe you could still fight for a chance of survival.
A hand suddenly grabbed Jiang Muyun's wrist, and before Jiang Muyun could look up, the hand that was burned red wrote three words on her wrist.
Water, ten, walk.
These three words made no sense, but Jiang Muyun understood them.
If the water comes up within ten seconds, we leave.
Chu Buwen's thoughts coincided with Jiang Muyun's.
Jiang Muyun shook his wrist to indicate that he understood.
Neither of them reminded Qin Shiwen and Qin Shiwu.
What's burning outside is oil. There's no telling how much nitrogen oxides and lead compounds are floating in the air right now. Moving the towel away to talk is tantamount to seeking death.
And Qin Shiwen and Qin Shiwu couldn't possibly keep up with her and Chu Buwen's thinking when it came to escaping. With so little time, instead of wasting time writing these nonsensical hints for them to guess, it would be better to just drag them out when the time comes.
Jiang Muyun began to move his numb body slightly.
A few seconds later, Jiang Muyun felt water flooding the suitcase and soaking her knees.
Just before she was about to lift the life blanket and run away with her people, a thin and weak voice sounded in the ears of several people.
"Meow."
A small black ball of fur came out from Chu Buwen's arms, nimbly jumped in front of Jiang Muyun, and patted her gently through the life blanket.
Jiang Muyun paused.
"Meow."
Seeing that she didn't respond, Dabai called out again, and then jumped back and forth on the suitcase as if to demonstrate to the others.
Although they didn't look up, the water level had already shallowly covered the suitcase, and they could clearly hear the sound of Dabai jumping in the water.
After jumping around for a while, Dabai crawled back onto Chu Buwen in disgust and used his clothes to wipe all the water off his fur.
Jiang Muyun's oxygen-deprived brain finally reacted at this time. Was Dabai telling them that the temperature had dropped?
Jiang Muyun raised her head, and the scorching hot steam rushing towards her made her feel like her brain was burned.
The situation of Dabai and Xiaobai is obviously mutation. It is possible for mutated animals to develop the ability to withstand high temperatures, but humans cannot do that.
Dabai jumped back and forth and successfully stopped the two from running out.
Because Jiang Muyun discovered that the rising trend of water level in the cave had stopped.
And after a few minutes, Jiang Muyun, who was already numb from the heat, vaguely felt that the temperature in the cave seemed to have dropped a certain amount because of the water.
Maybe it's cooked but not fully cooked?
Jiang Muyun suddenly wanted to eat Sukiyaki, especially the tender beef in the pot that was not yet fully cooked. The moment it was taken out of the pot, it was rolled in the egg liquid before being eaten. It looked fishy, but as long as the ingredients were fresh enough, it would be surprisingly delicious.
Fortunately, she prepared fresh beef.
She just didn't buy sterilized eggs, and she didn't know if ordinary eggs would work.
Jiang Muyun felt something unusual in his arms. He looked down and saw Xiaobai twisting and turning his head to move it out, grabbing Jiang Muyun's sleeve and pulling it aside.
Jiang Muyun had the experience of having his face washed by steam before, so he didn't dare to stick his head in rashly. He only dared to lift a small gap in the thermal blanket to let the outside air in and feel the temperature first.
It seems that it is not that uncomfortable anymore.
Still hot, but not as scorching as before.
"Gone?"
Jiang Muyun heard someone talking in the cave.
This person started it, and then others bravely stuck their heads out one after another.
"It's over!"
“It’s really over!”
"I'm alive!"
Jiang Muyun struggled to stand up, swaying twice before she finally settled down. She had been supporting herself with her elbows, and now both arms were a little numb, so it was difficult to maintain balance on such a wobbly suitcase.
Chu Buwen looked like he wanted to help her, but when he stretched out his hand he didn't know where to put it.
The injuries on Jiang Muyun's body looked a bit scary.
The movement she made earlier, coupled with the pulling of the life blanket by herself, caused friction between her already burned skin and clothes. Now, there were faint traces of blood on Jiang Muyun's clothes on the back.
Jiang Muyun wanted to cross her legs, but accidentally rubbed the red and swollen outside of her calf, and the pain made her jump on the spot.
"Help, save my life..." Jiang Muyun hugged her calf with a painful look on her face. The movement affected other wounds on her body, and she was in so much pain that tears were about to burst out.
The force of this unintentional rubbing against the wound was more painful than the one she pulled intentionally.
Qin Shiwu coughed softly twice and said in a hoarse voice, "Let's go up the mountain first and cover your mouth and nose. The burning of oil will produce a lot of nitrogen oxides. Let's go to a ventilated place on the mountain first, and then treat the wound."
Acute nitrogen oxide poisoning often only has mild symptoms at first, and the symptoms will disappear as long as ventilation is carried out in time.
However, if you let your guard down, pulmonary edema and methemoglobinemia will occur after an incubation period of four to six hours or even longer.
There are not enough medical conditions now. If the symptoms really break out after the incubation period, we can skip the treatment period and enter the waiting period.
Nitrogen oxides are less dense than air and sink downwards, so now they have no choice but to go up the mountain to get fresh air.
"good."
Several people wrapped the blood-stained life-saving blanket on the tattered suitcase. Jiang Muyun covered himself with one hand, and with the cooperation of Chu Buwen, he struggled to tie the cloth strips around Xiaobai with the other hand.
The situation was urgent just now, so Jiang Muyun had to cover Xiaobai's head manually. Now they had to carry the luggage up the mountain, which was a physically demanding task, so naturally they had to tie the cloth strip around Xiaobai's head.
Many people in the cave stood up one after another.
The middle-aged man in the corner had half of his body submerged in water. He listened to the noise outside getting louder and louder, and more and more people cheering that he was still alive. He was finally sure that this was not an illusion.
He opened his eyes tremblingly and looked straight into the hideous face of the man who had died earlier.
The man was now half floating on the water, with a layer of skin on the side of his face burned away, revealing vague flesh that had been soaked and turned white.
He didn’t know if it was an illusion, but the middle-aged man could vaguely see that the layer of skin and flesh that had been burned off the man was stuck to the ground under the water.
The middle-aged man was the last person to stand up in the cave.
The rest either couldn't survive the heat and humidity, fainting and never regaining consciousness, or suffered severe initial reactions from nitrogen oxide poisoning: dizziness, palpitations, and laryngeal edema, coupled with the lack of oxygen in the cave, leading to their death from hypoxia.
There are even more unfortunate people who are in a relatively low position and lack protection against high temperatures, causing the muscles in their limbs, waist and back to be burned and necrotic. When the water floods in, they cannot get up and are directly drowned in the accumulated water.
Jiang Muyun didn't know how much time had passed, but the sky outside was dark and it looked like it would be dark soon.
"Let's go first. It's not safe to go up the mountain after it's completely dark."
Seeing that everyone had packed their suitcases, Jiang Muyun said in a hoarse voice.
Chu Buwen shook the bag and pulled out a few disposable raincoats: "Put on your raincoats before you go out. The rain outside hasn't stopped yet."
Nitrogen oxides dissolve in water, and while the rain outside helps them reduce the toxicity of the gas, it also increases the possibility of wound infection.
Several people wrapped themselves up with difficulty and packed up their things to prepare for migration.
They all have back injuries now, so they can't carry their backpacks and can only put them on the suitcases.
What surprised Jiang Muyun was that the two little chicks had not turned into roast chickens yet.
Not only did he not turn into a roast chicken, he was even more energetic than anyone else present.
Jiang Muyun took a closer look and saw that the beaks and feathers of the two birds had a faint metallic luster.
Could it be that it has inhaled too much toxic gas and turned into a poisonous chicken?
Jiang Muyun was worried.
Not to mention laying eggs, she was afraid she wouldn't even dare to eat the two chickens themselves.
Big loss!
Several people stumbled out of the cave. The survivors behind them heard what they said and gritted their teeth to pack up their things, preparing to go up the mountain.
Qin Shiwu looked at Xiaobai, who was walking briskly, and smiled bitterly: "Animals' ability to adapt is indeed much stronger than humans."
They all had some symptoms of hypoxia now. Just the short walk out of the cave made him feel dizzy and disoriented, but Xiaobai was still alive and kicking, and even the two chickens were fine.
Jiang Muyun thought to himself that of course, after the apocalypse, animals and plants adapted to the environment faster than one another, and their mutations were diverse. Even the common mutation of not being tasty had successfully increased their survival rate.
Qin Shiwen nudged him lightly with his shoulder: "Talk less. You just told me not to breathe the poison gas."
Qin Shiwu coughed twice again: "Okay, okay, don't hit this unlucky child, you really are not afraid of pain."
The plastic covering the wheels of their suitcases had long been deformed, making it very difficult to drag them.
Jiang Muyun now uses his suitcase as a crutch, walking for a while and then taking a break, and he is so tired that he is panting and sweating.
This sweat is not just from being tired.
Jiang Muyun found that the higher they went up the mountain, the higher the temperature became.
Jiang Muyun leaned over and took a look down the mountain.
Well, no wonder water poured into the cave just now.
Judging from the reflection on the water surface, Jiang Muyun estimated that the water level was about three meters away from the cave entrance.
In other words, when the sea of fire rushed over, they were just in the inner flame position with the lowest temperature.
No wonder the temperature gets higher the higher you go in the mountains.
By this calculation, the top of the mountain might be the place with the highest temperature.
Fortunately, the mountain is now barren, and the only combustible materials are official reserve supplies and fuel.
Jiang Muyun didn't hear any explosion. It was getting dark and there was no fire on the mountain. It seemed that the authorities had preserved the supplies very well.
If the fuel stored on the mountain exploded, they would really be doomed.
Fortunately, the rain outside never stopped, and the temperature on the rock surface dropped quickly. Not long after they walked, the scorching heat disappeared.
A breeze blew over, and it was even a little cool.
Jiang Muyun's back was soaked with water mixed with blood, and the plastic raincoat was completely stuck to her body. When each drop of rain fell, Jiang Muyun could clearly feel the force of it as if it was smashing through her flesh and falling on her bones.
Jiang Muyun could even guess which part of her back was scratched based on the pain levels in different parts of her body.
Chu Buwen pulled out the life-saving blanket to try to shield her from the rain. Jiang Muyun could smell the bloody odor on his body, which was no less than her own. She took two breaths and said, "Don't waste your energy. Let's get up the mountain as soon as possible."
Her injuries looked scary, but they were only superficial.
If she hadn't moved a few times, her back would have been like the other parts of her body wrapped in the life blanket, at most just red and blistered, instead of looking scary and bloody like it is now.
When it was completely dark, they finally reached the top of the mountain.
Jiang Muyun put down his hands that had been covering his mouth and nose, and took a deep breath towards the wind blowing from the top of the mountain.
Survived, it's another beautiful day.
Jiang Muyun's throat was hoarse and his laughter was intermittent. "Tonight... really, really, I want to eat eight old popsicles! The kind that I suck one, throw one, and bury one!"
As she spoke, she secretly picked out all the old popsicles in the space and put them in the other side. She wanted to kick the old popsicles out of the ice cream family and let them wander alone!
The rain hurt her so much that now when she saw "popsicle", she would think of "water stick", as if someone was hitting her with a stick from behind.
Qin Shiwen also laughed and coughed: "What does it have to do with me, Old Popsicle! The Old Popsicle Protection Association has issued a strong condemnation!"
Chu Bu Wen choked on a gust of wind as he laughed. After coughing awkwardly for a while, he lowered his head and began to rummage through his bag: "Hurry up and build a piece of ground to shelter from the rain. You need medicine for the wound on your back."
But now the large viewing platform on the top of the mountain is flat, with nothing but a few deformed prefabricated houses and an oversized loudspeaker in the distance.
They didn't mind the weird shape of the broken house, but the problem was who knew whether the material baked into that shape was poisonous.
They went to such great lengths to run to the top of the mountain to breathe fresh air, not to hold a respiratory poison competition or to breed poisonous insects in their own bodies.
"After applying the medicine, I will use an old popsicle to ice it and grind it into ashes!" Jiang Muyun added bricks and tiles to her revenge plan while looking for waterproof cloth.
"Throw all the used sticks into the fire as firewood?" Chu Buwen poured out the tent poles.
"Then I'm going to light eight fires tonight. I'll pour out the fire on one, and I'll leave the other one alone and ruin its future!" Qin Shiwen searched the suitcase for a floor mat, but couldn't find any. Then, Qin Shiwu found two. After searching for nothing, Qin Shiwen raised his head and fiercely declared his revenge.
Speaking of lighting a fire, Jiang Muyun suddenly became interested: "What are we having for dinner tonight?"
