The acid rain is cold, and you don’t feel much when it hits your protective clothing. You don’t have to worry about breathing with a gas mask, but the pungent smell cannot be filtered out.
He Xiaobei stood in front of a plant that was only a dozen centimeters long. She had discovered this plant during her previous patrol and had tested it with a tester. The degree of mutation was only level 1.
Now its leaves have turned yellow and its fragile branches have bent down.
If we were to say what is worse off than humans in today's natural disasters, it would be plants. First, the drought prevented them from absorbing large amounts of water, and then the polar night prevented them from carrying out photosynthesis.
They are even more pitiful now, as the acid rain has been corroding them continuously.
Those high-level mutant plants that can burrow into the ground or hide are fine, but poor little creatures like these have no choice but to die.
When the acid rain first started, the scientific research bases were silent, but after it rained for so many days in a row, they began to reinforce the roofs of the bases.
However, they had more materials, and after calling in more workers, the repair was completed quickly.
As for the survivors outside the base, there were so many of them that they couldn't go out to look for food, so they could only turn their attention to their own kind.
In the middle of the night, you can often hear crying and gunshots coming from the foot of the mountain. When patrolling during the day, you can even occasionally smell the faint aroma of meat.
The acid rain finally stopped after half a month. Many survivors thought of going to the beach. After so many days of rain, maybe there would be some fish to eat.
Although the possibility was small, it was still better than blindly looking for food on land. So after waiting for another day, the group started to head towards the sea together.
The team was huge, and He Xiaobei estimated that there were at least seventy or eighty people.
But less than half a day after they set out, the acid rain started again. The heavy rain came down without any prelude, and people nearby hurried back to their homes.
People have long been accustomed to life and death in the face of natural disasters. No matter what happens to those who escape, even if they die, everyone will only feel sad for a moment and then continue with their lives.
Some people don’t even feel sad anymore, and are left with only numbness.
The rain continued for two days and then stopped again. This time the rain stopped for a longer time, not continuing for five days.
When everyone thought that the group of people who had gone out earlier were dead, some people rushed back in the dark, although there were only four people.
But their hands were empty, they had nothing to take, and their expressions were extremely depressed. When people approached them to ask about their situation, several of them just shook their heads.
Only a fool would bring food back and hang it in front of a group of hungry wolves. If you can't finish it, just find a place to hide it. Anyway, the temperature here is not high, so it can be stored for a long time.
Of course, the premise is that you have to hide it well and not be eaten by other wild animals.
A few days later, acid rain came again, but this time it only rained for half a day before stopping.
He Xiaobei's chicks finally hatched. Not too many hatched this time, only 20. She had dropped one before, so now there are only 19 chicks.
The little guys are covered with soft fur, making them look furry and cute. He Xiaobei thinks they will be delicious when stewed when they grow up.
The chicken coop I built for them before was completely unusable, so I simply replaced it with a new one and built it next to my house so that I could play with them when I had nothing to do.
The small ice house was formed in a few breaths, but the temperature outside was still very low, so he simply put some useless old clothes inside and even installed a night light on it.
After a few more days, when the chicks were older, they were finally put back into the nest. Butler Qin said the temperature inside was still too low, so He Xiaobei immediately brought out a small sunshade and an electric blanket.
Put some hay on the ground and spread the electric blanket on the hay, so they shouldn't get cold at all.
As for keeping chickens in your own house, it is absolutely not a good idea, as the chicken droppings will stink her to death.
Just after finishing all this, when she woke up the next day, He Xiaobei felt the temperature outside was getting warmer. She stretched and went downstairs:
"Butler Qin, what's the temperature like today?"
"Miss, the temperature outside today is -22 degrees Celsius, which is 3 degrees warmer than yesterday. It has risen a total of 9 degrees in the past week."
He Xiaobei stretched his hand in mid-air and quickly retracted it, but the solemn expression on his face only flashed for a moment.
Because she remembered that a young Level 5 Intelligence developer had previously given her knowledge in this area.
