Just as Jiang Wu finished lunch and was about to leave, a deafening clap of thunder startled him.
Walking to the window and lifting the curtain, Jiang Wu realized that the sky was now covered with dark clouds.
Why did the weather suddenly turn like this?
Not long after the previous clap of thunder, another bolt of lightning ripped through the dark sky.
Thunder roared, as if an unknown behemoth was howling in the clouds.
Is it going to pour rain? It's more like a thunderstorm.
Jiang Wu frowned as he looked at the dark clouds in the sky, hesitating whether to go out.
As I continued to ponder, the sky grew increasingly dark.
It was still midday, but there wasn't a ray of sunlight in sight.
The dark, thick clouds filled the entire sky, looking so heavy that they seemed about to fall at any moment.
"Splash..."
Suddenly, the rain poured down, with raindrops the size of soybeans pounding everything violently.
The wind howled, lightning flashed and thunder roared, trees were blown about by the wind, and the sound of rain and thunder resounded throughout the sky and the ground.
This also shocked Jiang Wu, who was originally eager to make a move.
He even thought with a hint of schadenfreude, "With such a huge storm, you zombies must be dumbfounded!"
I glanced at the zombies downstairs.
They all stood quietly in place, tilting their heads back and gulping down the rainwater.
Some weaker zombies were blown to the ground by the strong wind, but they just lay there drinking the rainwater.
Starving and having no flesh to eat, they ate rainwater?
Could there be something in the rainwater that's beneficial to zombies?
A thought suddenly popped into Jiang Wu's mind.
As if possessed, Jiang Wu stretched out his right hand to catch some rainwater.
As soon as his hand touched the rain, Jiang Wu felt a burning pain in his outstretched right hand.
Startled, Jiang Wu quickly withdrew his hand and wiped it dry on the curtains.
Even after the rainwater was wiped clean, my right hand still burned as if countless hot oils had been poured on it.
This rain is strange!
Could there be a highly corrosive substance inside?
High acid rain?
Jiang Wu endured the pain in his hand and stared in horror at the torrential rain outside.
If this were directly exposed to rain like this, it would absolutely be excruciatingly painful.
Even with an umbrella and a raincoat, it's useless, because the gale that can blow down trees is terrifying.
It seems we can't go out until the rain stops.
Jiang Wu took out his phone and sent a message to the chairman with his still-painful right hand.
[Jiang Wu]: It's pouring rain, and the rainwater is highly corrosive, so we can't get out for the time being. Chairman, don't worry, wait for me.
Bai Feiming was using an empty mineral water bottle to catch rainwater from a leak on the second floor.
She was glad that the small sales office was not completed.
With this rainwater, the water shortage will be alleviated, and we can last for a few more days.
Unfortunately, there wasn't much bread left.
Upon seeing Jiang Wu's message, Bai Feiming frowned slightly.
She reached out her right hand and touched a few drops of rainwater; just a few drops made Bai Feiming grit her teeth in pain.
Bai Feiming wiped the rain off her hands and looked coldly at the raging storm outside the window.
God, do you really not want to give me even the slightest chance?
I sat down on the sofa, picked up my phone, and scrolled through all the messages Jiang Wu had sent.
A slight smile gradually appeared on Bai Feiming's cool, oval face.
[Wei]: I'm waiting for you.
Meanwhile, Jiang Wu went up to the fourth floor to continue practicing his so-called spear and sword techniques.
The sole objective is to stab and cut accurately.
7:00 AM on July 23rd.
The torrential rain has been falling for three days in a row.
For the past three days, Jiang Wu has been unable to complete system tasks or go fishing.
The wind and rain were truly excessive.
If you go out directly like this, even if you wear a raincoat and a straw hat, you'll definitely get soaked by the acid rain.
Even a little bit of acid rain hurts terribly; if it soaks your whole body, you'd be in excruciating pain.
Fortunately, the system does not penalize you for not completing the task.
He took the binoculars and walked to the window.
Through the raging wind and rain, Jiang Wu could clearly see that some car bodies had already begun to rust.
Even with the protection of the paint, the exposed iron castings were rusted beyond recognition.
Jiang Wu then looked at the zombies who were still drinking rainwater.
Several days of acid rain gave the zombies' skin a faint bluish tint, and their clothes became tattered.
Moreover, I don't know if it's just my imagination.
Jiang Wu felt that some zombies seemed to have grown taller, while others had become shorter, as if they had shrunk.
This change puzzled Jiang Wu. Could it be that the zombies were slowly evolving?
Animals evolve; if zombies also evolve, what will humanity do?
As I was pondering this, an SUV drove up from the direction of the city.
It drove at full speed, smashing through zombies that blocked its path, and steadily made its way toward Jiang Wu.
In the midst of the raging storm, the zombies' senses seemed to have diminished considerably.
The zombies often only react when the sound of a car is several meters away.
Jiang Wu watched this scene thoughtfully.
It seems the driver also discovered the zombies' weakness, which is why he resolutely chose to break out of the city in this weather.
The SUV stopped in front of a three-story self-built house, about 100 meters diagonally opposite Jiang Wu's self-built house.
The building had a sign that read, "Fatty Huang's Grocery Store".
After the car came to a stop, three people wearing rubber raincoats and gas masks got out of the car.
