At the same time, the government ordered major domestic companies that China would enter a state of wartime control, prohibiting the export of all resources.
After a series of orders, everyone went from watching the spectacle to feeling a growing sense of unease.
Could it really be true? Such a large-scale operation—if the Chinese government miscalculates, the losses would be enormous.
While everyone outside was preparing to laugh at China, some people inside the country had already begun to believe it.
They watched as large quantities of food, supplies, and daily necessities were stockpiled in safe places by the government. Moreover, it was revealed that acid-resistant building projects were under construction.
Upon hearing this, Xiao Jin couldn't help but stare in disbelief.
This was definitely not something she did alone!
Now that things have come to this point, Xiao Jin feels that she is inextricably linked to the other players. She left a note about acid rain at the hospital because she couldn't bear to leave such a thing behind.
But if the people in power aren't out of their minds, they'll know they can't easily believe this kind of thing. Xiao Jin was already mentally prepared to do something futile.
But the fact is that the country not only believed it, but also used all its resources to stockpile supplies in preparation for evacuation.
Xiao Jin thought about it and realized that other players must have gotten involved in this matter, and more than one at that, in order to convince the government officials of the rumors about acid rain.
As for whether this matter is good or bad, Xiao Jin believes that it's good to have a powerful backer, and that there's strength in numbers!
The reason it was so noisy when I woke up was because everyone was talking about acid rain, and some people were discussing going to the supermarket to stock up on food.
At noon, the supermarket was in a frenzy of buying; the shelves were completely emptied in just a few minutes, and long queues formed at the checkout counters.
Xiao Jin was asleep and missed this magnificent sight.
To everyone's surprise, the supermarket stopped restocking after only one replenishment. Those who hadn't bought enough complained, only to be informed that orders from above had been given not to restock.
It is said that all supermarkets, large and small, across the country will be taken over by the military. At this point, money will no longer be a topic of discussion; you will have to agree whether you like it or not.
It's not just supermarkets; building material factories, food processing plants, and all sorts of production facilities that can guarantee human needs are being taken over by the government at the source.
During wartime, there are wartime management methods. At this time, no matter who you are, whether you are a wealthy and powerful business owner or an ordinary person making a living in a small workshop, everything is based on the call of the country.
The drawbacks are also obvious. The government's strong stance has aroused dissatisfaction among many people. It's not that they will refuse to cooperate, since armed soldiers are standing outside the factory. It's just that there are indeed a lot of complaints online.
At first, the cyber police could still manage things, but now they don't even bother with them!
However, Xiao Jin felt that this precisely demonstrated the country's strength and determination to ensure the safety of its citizens. In the future, when these people realize what's happening, they will probably be the first to thank the country for these decisions!
Xiao Jin had a good impression of the world's leader; he was very good and had great leadership qualities!
...
Xiao Jin stretched after waking up and walked through the crowded subway station to the surface.
As soon as she came up, Xiao Jin smelled a pungent odor. She frowned, then took out two masks from her spatial storage and put them on her face.
The mask blocked out the toxic gases around him, and only then did Xiao Jin realize that the buildings outside had begun to corrode to varying degrees. It seemed that a lot of acid rain had fallen while he was asleep.
Vehicles constantly shuttled back and forth on the road, but even with traffic police managing the order, the incessant honking of horns and the roar of accelerators still brought a sense of urgency to the city. People without cars walked on the streets, all wrapped tightly in raincoats, wearing masks, gloves, and some even wearing goggles.
As they walked along the eaves of the shops on both sides, they looked anxiously at the sky, fearing that acid rain might fall without them noticing.
In this environment, Xiao Jin, who was only wearing a mask and had no protective measures, became particularly conspicuous, and passersby all gave her strange looks.
This young man is incredibly brave!
It's such a pity that it's so fair and clean-looking, it would be ruined by acid rain!
A middle-aged man, completely covered up from head to toe, hesitated for a long time before finally gritting his teeth and striding over to Xiao Jin's side.
"Quick, young man, hide! What are you doing wandering around at this hour? Didn't you see the official announcement?" The middle-aged man said urgently, and then took off his outer clothes, intending to wrap them around Xiao Jin's head.
"Where are your family members? How can they let you go out alone?"
Xiao Jin was stunned for a moment and couldn't dodge the clothes on her head. After realizing what was happening, she raised her hand to take the clothes off: "No need, I..."
Before Xiao Jin could even grab the clothes, the man pressed her hand down.
"Hey, don't move. Uncle, you're alright. Just cover yourself up. My house is nearby."
Xiao Jin's expression froze for a moment, and she didn't know what she was thinking. With her strength, it would have been a matter of minutes for her to break free from the middle-aged man, but she still didn't stop him.
It was early autumn, and the temperature outside wasn't low, so the clothes didn't smell very good, but Xiao Jin still accepted them for some inexplicable reason.
"Thank you, I'll be right back!" Xiao Jin blinked.
"Since it's so dangerous outside, why did you still come out?" Xiao Jin asked casually, tugging at her clothes which were obviously too big for her.
The man looked bitter: "It's all because of this acid rain. My daughter came home from her lunch break and happened to see it. Although she didn't get wet, she's always been sick and has been coughing all afternoon."
I was thinking of going to the pharmacy to see if they had any medicine for coughs.” The man’s mood became very low as he said this, showing frustration and anger.
"To my surprise, all the pharmacies were forced to close, and they told me that if I wanted to get treatment, I could only take my child to the hospital."
I've seen videos online; many people have been injured by acid rain, and hospitals are overflowing. They simply don't have time to treat minor illnesses like my daughter's!
The more he talked, the uglier his expression became. Heaven knows how heartbroken he was to see his little girl coughing, her face flushed, tears welling up in her eyes, clinging to him and calling him "Daddy, I feel terrible!"
Just when the man was at his wit's end, he saw Xiao Jin.
Xiao Jin, who didn't speak, looked quite well-behaved. The man immediately thought of his sick daughter. Putting himself in her shoes, if he were the child's parent, he would be heartbroken if something happened to her.
Therefore, the man gave Xiao Jin the only protective jacket he had on him.
