The end of the heatwave does not mean the end of the world.
The high temperatures were replaced by torrential rain.
At first, the heavy rain fell intermittently around the world, but for three consecutive days, the rain continued to fall all over the world.
It's as if all the moisture that evaporated due to the high temperature is going to come back down all at once.
At this point, people began to wail.
Because of the previous high temperatures, most people lived at the bottom of wells or by the sea, and many people and animals drowned due to continuous heavy rain.
Fortunately, heavy rain has one advantage over high temperatures: it allows for migration.
Nowadays, people have almost all developed a sense of crisis from the experience of the apocalypse. People who can struggle for two years in freezing cold and high temperatures will naturally not die easily in a rainstorm.
They immediately seized the high ground.
Of course, how many people will starve to death along the way and become food for others is another matter entirely.
Nanming City, Xia Family.
The heavy rain pounded against the windows, relentlessly day and night.
Even though Xia Muge's villa had good sound insulation, the high temperatures earlier had worsened the sound insulation.
The noise is making it difficult for the elderly and children to sleep.
Over this period of time, Xia Muge's parents have become quite depressed.
The one who has the hardest job is Xu Wanru, who also has to take care of her daughter Xia Yu.
"This rain is really heavy, and it's been raining for several days in a row. Will this cause problems for Nanming City?"
Qin Chuchu's expression was rather unpleasant.
Such a heavy rain could be considered a sign of the end of the world.
The city's drainage system is now almost completely paralyzed, and some sewage has been flushed out of the streets.
Fortunately, this city hasn't had any sewage flowing into the underground pipes for two years, otherwise it would be absolutely disgusting.
Xia Muge reassured Qin Chuchu about this.
“Nanming City is located in a mountainous area. Even if there are problems with the city’s drainage, the water will still be discharged. There’s no need to worry.”
"Moreover, our villa is situated on higher ground, so there's no doubt about that."
Nanming City has one advantage: its altitude is high enough.
Neither floods nor torrential rains could threaten the entire Southern Ming Dynasty in this area.
Compared to a year of consecutive cold or a year of consecutive heat, torrential rain is actually the most 'compassionate' disaster in an apocalypse.
The reason is simple: Earth's water resources are actually limited.
Even in the apocalypse, the law of conservation of matter will still apply.
Although the torrential rain in the story lasted for a year, in reality, after six months, the torrential rain had disappeared, and it was mostly moderate and light rain.
People only find it difficult to move around in low-lying areas, but even so, they are not unable to migrate.
Xia Muge recalled that it was precisely because of the six months of moderate to light rain that people found many seeds and successfully planted them. By using manpower to drain excess water, some people were able to obtain fresh food.
It greatly alleviated hunger.
After torrential rain comes extreme weather such as hail and typhoons. After these weather events take turns, biological mutations occur.
After humanity survives the biological mutation, it basically means the end of the apocalypse, and then comes the wasteland era.
The wasteland era almost means the end of the story in this world.
Of course, the end of this world means that Xia Muge can go to the next world.
For him, this was the most important news.
He's already starting to calculate when the protagonist, Zhang Zihao, will die.
During this period, the system reported to Xia Muge every now and then that Zhang Zihao's luck had declined, and now only his luck value remained.
It's fair to say that although Zhang Zihao has a very high luck value, he is definitely the kind of person whose mental and physical qualities are severely lacking.
After Xia Muge blocked Zhang Zihao's development of power in the early stages, his body and mind were severely damaged, and he will most likely kill himself.
Xia Muge was unaware that Zhang Zihao, though not yet dead, had already resolved to die.
At this moment, he was lying in a place where no one could find him, living a life of utter darkness.
He Ran's group is dead.
In the high-temperature environment, because there was not enough water, they quickly killed each other and eventually died.
No one expected that the person who survived to the end would be a woman named Xiaoya.
However, she still died before the storm arrived.
If the rainstorm had come earlier, they would have had corpses to eat, and wouldn't have died.
After confirming that these people were dead, Zhang Zihao suddenly felt a deep sense of sorrow.
Nanming City is too quiet.
There wasn't even a mouse's sound.
He lay in bed, only able to hear his own breathing and the beating of his heart.
With nothing to do, he ate and slept, slept and ate.
Later, Zhang Zihao developed narcolepsy and needed to sleep at least fourteen hours a day.
Then the downpour began, and Zhang Zihao's expression eased a little.
All he wants to hear right now is sound, any sound will do.
These days, Zhang Zihao hardly ever looks at his phone anymore, because he doesn't download many movies or entertainment apps beforehand. And he absolutely can't stand reading books.
Reading is too tiring.
However, after four days of torrential rain, Zhang Zihao looked listless.
Although he was in a place that was hard to find, the heavy rain was so loud that it was impossible to hear.
For Zhang Zihao, the sound of the rain being too loud was not a good thing.
He was already somewhat depressed, and the loud rain only exacerbated his depression.
"What am I left with? Just a pile of rotten flesh."
Zhang Zihao was wallowing in self-pity.
He is now looking at his body in the mirror.
He hadn't washed his face or taken a shower for many days, and when he felt uncomfortable, he would just wipe himself with water.
They were even too lazy to change the sheets, and slept in their clothes.
What does it matter to Zhang Zihao how exquisite his life is?
Because of his constant eating and sleeping, his weight has been increasing rapidly, and he now weighs over 180 pounds. His belly is round and bulging, filled with fried chicken and cola.
He no longer cares about it.
At this point, Zhang Zihao felt like there was no one left in the world.
Whether I'm a couch potato or a celebrity like Eddie Peng, no one will appreciate me anymore.
He felt very lonely.
However, even watching resources that you downloaded in advance is of little use.
He can't even do his handicrafts anymore.
I really want to die, I want to commit suicide.
Zhang Zihao thought sadly to himself, but at this moment, he did not have the courage to commit suicide.
The heavy rain outside the window was still falling, seemingly washing away all of humanity's sins.
Earth will still be Earth even without humans, and this apocalypse is just Earth's baptism of civilization.
Zhang Zihao muttered to himself, "Perhaps, I should have died long ago."
