Chapter 244 Thunderstorm
The wind gradually grew stronger, and the dark clouds moved faster under the strong wind. In just a few minutes, the dark clouds were almost overhead.
The sound of thunder and lightning became louder and more frequent, as if someone was chasing Xia Xiaoman and beating drums and gongs.
“Ahhh!!”
Thunder mixed with screams sounded behind him. Xia Xiaoman subconsciously turned around and saw a black corpse lying on the ground not far away. Behind the corpse, a man was sitting on the ground as if he was frightened, looking at the smoking corpse in horror.
Xia Xiaoman's face was solemn. Before she could react, several bolts of lightning struck the tall buildings and the ground.
Seeing the increasingly dense lightning striking down one after another, Xia Xiaoman looked around, quickly locked onto a sewer entrance, and ran over quickly to lift the lid.
The lid was lifted about five centimeters high and then couldn't be lifted. Xia Xiaoman lowered her head to look under the lid and was almost angry enough to explode. There was a thick iron chain tied under the manhole cover, and the chain was locked from below. It should be that the authorities were afraid that someone would hide in the sewer and do something bad.
Xia Xiaoman cursed under his breath, threw away the lid and ran to the nearest building.
As she ran away, a bolt of lightning struck the lid, and at the same time, bean-sized raindrops fell from the sky and hit her head.
Seeing a shabby shopping mall in front of him, Xia Xiaoman rushed in in one breath. After entering the mall, Xia Xiaoman patted his chest and gasped with lingering fear.
Turning around to look behind him, in less than a minute, three lightning bolts struck the small square in front of the shopping mall. One of the lightning bolts struck a young woman on the head who was running, killing her instantly.
A couple nearby saw this scene, their faces turned pale with fear, and they desperately ran to the mall. As a result, they ran too fast and both fell to the ground.
The husband got up and ran to the mall. The wife might have sprained her foot and couldn't get up for a long time. She shouted at her husband several times, wanting him to help her up. But her husband was like a deaf person at this time, and went back into the mall without even looking back.
After entering the mall, he breathed a sigh of relief, then turned around and waved to his wife, anxiously asking her to hurry in. People who didn't know would think he was very worried about his wife.
The woman was lucky enough to limp away from the lightning and enter the mall smoothly.
As soon as she came in, she grabbed her husband's hair and beat him without saying a word. The man was obviously not a good person. After being hit by his wife, he immediately fought back. The couple immediately wrestled with each other, and other people in the mall stepped back to provide space for the couple to fight.
Xia Xiaoman had no intention of watching other people's fun. She took a breath, and when her breathing was less rapid, she walked around the mall, looking for a way to enter the sewer or go home avoiding lightning.
There was so much thunder and lightning outside, Maodan would be so frightened staying at home alone. She must not be frightened, or her hard training for a day would be wasted.
Xia Xiaoman was in a bad mood because he couldn't find a way to go home avoiding lightning. He sat in the corner and stared outside without saying a word.
Bolts of lightning struck down in a disorderly manner. At first they were only small lightning bolts, only three or four times a minute.
As time went by, the sky became more and more cloudy, like a dark night, and the lightning gradually became bigger, at least as thick as a bowl. A bolt of lightning could instantly split a person into charcoal. In addition, the lightning became more and more dense. In one minute, Xia Xiaoman saw more than a dozen lightning bolts.
For a moment, Xia Xiaoman felt like he was about to become deaf. All he could hear in his ears was the rumble of thunder and lightning, and he could not hear any other sound.
Looking at the flashes of lightning under the dark sky, Xia Xiaoman inexplicably recalled the apocalypse theory he had seen on the Internet before. The scene before him was even more terrifying than the apocalypse described on the Internet.
The people hiding in the mall were all staring blankly outside. Even though they had experienced so many disasters, they still couldn't help but tear up when they saw the thunder and lightning outside that carried the breath of death.
Xia Xiaoman couldn't hear what those people in the mall were muttering, but she could see their tears of despair and numb expressions.
…
When the thunder gradually stopped, an hour and a half had passed. People in the mall looked at the gloomy weather outside and didn't dare to go out, fearing that they would be struck by lightning as soon as they stepped out.
Xia Xiaoman did not go out either, planning to wait until the dark clouds dispersed before leaving. She was no different from ordinary people except that she had an extra space, and she was also a mortal body that could not withstand a lightning strike.
After waiting in the mall for another half an hour and hearing no thunder outside, Xia Xiaoman followed the crowd and slowly walked out of the mall.
Looking up at the sky, the dark clouds had not completely dispersed, and there might be a thunderstorm. Xia Xiaoman didn't dare to stay outside for too long, so he ran home.
On the way, she encountered several bodies struck by lightning. Two of the bodies were connected together. They were a mother and her child. The two were holding hands and died in the thunderstorm.
Xia Xiaoman didn't have time to sigh and ran home quickly.
After returning home, Xia Xiaoman looked at the empty living room and called Maodan several times before he saw Maodan coming out from the stove. The big bad wolf turned into a big black wolf.
"Awoo! Awoo!" The frightened Maodan walked to Xia Xiaoman and rubbed his head against her calf in grievance.
Animals are born with a fear of nature. If it were some timid animals, they might be scared to death by such a violent thunderstorm. It is normal that Maodan was scared and hid in the stove.
Xia Xiaoman calmed Maodan down and took him downstairs to check on the chickens and rabbits in the basement. The chickens were fine, they were born with a simple mind, and as long as you didn't run in front of them to scare them, no matter how loud the sound was, they would automatically block it out after hearing it for a long time. The rabbits were frightened, they were listless, and they didn't move even when poked with a stick.
Just when she was thinking about whether to appease these rabbits with delicious food, there was a sudden bang. Before Xia Xiaoman could react, Maodan had already crawled under her legs, trembling with fear.
The thunderstorm started again. Xia Xiaoman did not return to the living room, but hid in the basement holding Maodan.
This time the thunderstorm lasted shorter than the previous one and stopped in about an hour.
After hearing the thunder outside stop, Xia Xiaoman returned to the living room, opened the window and took a look at the weather outside. Seeing that the sky had cleared, she breathed a sigh of relief.
