The woman wasn't conventionally beautiful, but behind her gentle eyes lay a pleasing face and a resolute heart.
Even though she had just suffered a bad experience, she showed no embarrassment or avoidance when facing Xiao Jin. Instead, she thanked Xiao Jin in a generous manner.
"I am Cheng Su, A Dong's girlfriend. Thank you for saving us."
Xiao Jin nodded: "You're too kind!"
She took back what she said earlier. Tan Dong's parents should be glad that the other party had such a girl by their side, at least she is much more reliable than their son.
"Have something to eat." Xiao Jin handed them the shopping basket.
While eating, Tan Dong told Xiao Jin about what had happened to him.
"After I left the library, I went to find Xiao Su. It started raining on the way from her house, so I got stuck here."
As he spoke, Tan Dong pointed to Jian Xiuyun on the side: "We found Teacher Jian on the way. His car broke down and he wanted to leave the city, so Xiao Su and I took him with us."
"Why didn't you go to the official resettlement site?" Xiao Jin suddenly asked.
Tan Dong remained silent, exchanged a glance with Cheng Su beside him, and then said to Xiao Jin, "Actually, quite a few people know about this."
There's a large air-raid shelter right next to Longjiang, isn't there?
Knowing that acid rain was imminent, the government began constructing shelters across the country, and this air-raid shelter is the closest one to Heilongjiang.
"But the authorities did not expect the acid rain to spread so quickly. Now that communications are down, there is no time to inform the public of the location of the shelters."
But eventually, some people knew about the air-raid shelter. After I learned about it from my dad, I thought I'd go there with Xiao Su to take refuge. Unexpectedly, while we were sheltering from the rain, four people covered in injuries suddenly burst in.
Mentioning this matter made Tan Dong grit his teeth in hatred, and Cheng Su next to him also shuddered reflexively, a hint of fear flashing in her eyes.
According to Tan Dong's description, the four people appeared to have been severely burned by the acid rain. Although they did not die, almost no part of their skin was intact.
The world was in chaos, and with no cure in sight, they desperately began to take revenge on society.
They were capable of burning, killing, looting, and plundering.
"You saw those two outside, right?" Tan Dong lowered his head.
"They were also a couple. After I told them about the air-raid shelter, they drove behind us."
He…” Tan Dong took a deep breath: “His girlfriend was the first to be bullied, and when the boy fought back, he was… he was killed.”
Cheng Su turned her face away and kept wiping away her tears.
“Ms. Jian and I wanted to help, but we couldn’t beat them. My leg and Ms. Jian’s head were injured at that time. They didn’t kill us because they wanted to watch us struggle.”
Xiao Jin's eyes flickered: "Don't worry, they're dead."
"Good riddance, a clean death!" Tan Dong slowly raised his hand and hugged his girlfriend to comfort her.
"Oh, right! There's something you need to know."
Tan Dong sat up straight: "The authorities in Longjiang are working hard to make all citizens aware of the shelter situation, not only in Longjiang, but also in the surrounding counties and towns."
"Although there have been some casualties due to the acid rain, and some were unaware of it, the space inside the shelters is limited. We not only need to stockpile enough supplies, but also build infrastructure..."
Hearing this, Tan Dong's implication was quite clear: they wanted to go to the shelter and hoped to get there as soon as possible, because there was a big difference between living at the entrance of the cave and living inside.
"Well, I plan to set off as soon as the rain stops. We'll deal with your injuries once we reach our destination."
Tan Dong: "We understand the importance of prioritizing tasks."
Xiao Jin did not expect that the rain would not only not stop but would get heavier and heavier. Moreover, the small supermarket began to leak, and a large amount of toxic gas also poured in.
The water spreads, rapidly corroding any object it touches.
They pushed over the cabinet, placed something under their feet, and anxiously watched the water around them grow deeper and deeper.
"What should we do? Should we force our way out?" Mao Liu and Cheng Su supported Tan Dong, while the unconscious Jian Xiuyun was carried on Shang Fan's back.
Jian Xiuyun hadn't woken up during this time, and Xiao Jin even suspected that his head had been damaged.
Shang Fan: "How do we get out of here? You try walking through it and I'll see. What's the difference between this and walking through sulfuric acid!"
"Then what do you suggest we do? We're about to be flooded!" The two of them turned to look at Xiao Jin at the same time.
Xiao Jin's gaze sharpened, and after a moment of contemplation, he said directly, "Let's go!"
"ah?"
Mao Liu exclaimed in astonishment: "Are you really leaving?"
"This building is going to collapse, we have to leave!" The small supermarket, unable to withstand the weight of the acid rain, was like a cake melting in an oven, with creaking and groaning sounds constantly echoing from all around the walls.
You can survive if you walk, but you will definitely be crushed to death if you don't walk.
Seeing that Mao Liu and the others were still hesitating, Xiao Jin shouted sternly: "At this point, it's either run or die. As long as you don't fall into the water, you can hold on until the end with the help of the treatment spray."
Then Xiao Jin waved his hand, and a stack of protective suits and rain boots appeared among the group.
"This...this..." Tan Dong and Cheng Su covered their mouths in surprise, while Mao Liu and Shang Fan were so frightened that they almost fell into the water.
Is this a storage space, the legendary storage space worth 1000 points?
If it weren't for the presence of indigenous people, both of them would have started yelling.
Xiao Jin: "Put these protective suits on. These suits may not be able to withstand the acid rain. You have to bear the pain. If anyone falls behind, I won't wait for them."
Those who were swept by Xiao Jin's merciless gaze nodded obediently, not daring to ask any more questions at this critical moment. Even though Tan Dong had a hundred questions in his mind, he could only hurriedly put on his clothes.
Tan Dong's legs were inconvenient, and it took Cheng Su and the other two a long time to help him get dressed, and then they had to deal with the unconscious Jian Xiuyun.
The protective suits had built-in face shields that were firmly fastened to their faces. The rain boots were a bit too big, so they wrapped several layers of towels or something around their shoes for cushioning, which was better than nothing.
Everyone stood ready, awaiting Xiao Jin's command.
"Mao Liu".
"Boss, I'm here!"
"Once we get out, find our car and see if it's drivable. Start the engine and wait for me there." Xiao Jin finished speaking and turned to look at Shang Fan.
"Once Mao Liu finds the car, you and I will cover the roof with acid-resistant cloth to delay the car from being corroded as much as possible."
Shang Fan accepted the heavy roll of acid-resistant cloth with a hum.
By this time, Shang Fan and Mao Liu had long since lost their previous panic. Both of Xiao Jin's calm command and the skill she had just displayed made them extremely convinced of her abilities.
What a joke! This is a true pro who can accumulate 1000 points in a single game. Only a fool wouldn't cling to such a powerful player!
He could have left leisurely on his own, but he chose to take the risk of leading a bunch of weaklings with him. Boss Xiao is such a good person!
