Chapter 349 Poisonous Fog



Bai Jiu: "Anyone is fine."

Bai Shuang: "I understand. In other words, it doesn't matter which of you two is willing, she will go with you."

Aunt Li's eyes widened. "How could that girl be like this? We can't accept her."

Aunt Li is a person with deeply ingrained traditional ideas and is particularly unable to accept these things.

It's not about buying goods; if this one doesn't work, then choose that one.

Bai Chang: "Auntie, there's no such thing as true love in the apocalypse."

Bai Jiu nodded, "She only pursued us because we were the young lady's people and had good conditions. There are many people like that; we've encountered many before."

Bai Shuang: "That's right, survival comes first, so they didn't do anything wrong."

Before the apocalypse, many people—no, most people—were like this: they wouldn't marry someone without a house and a car; who wouldn't want to marry someone with good conditions?

Bai Jiu: "Miss, are you like this too?"

Bai Changxiang looked at him like he was an idiot. "Miss is a tycoon, a rich heiress, why would she care about other people's meager sums?"

The lady only needs to choose the right person.

Auntie Shi smiled and said, "So you two are also diamond-level when you're with Shuangshuang, the kind of guys that girls would like to date."

Bai Jiu said proudly, "Of course, so we're not in a hurry to find a partner right now. We just need to stick close to Miss's leg."

Once you start a family, things get boring. Just like Tian Ge (by day), he's exhausted every day, worrying about the kids and feeling sorry for his wife.

"If it weren't for Miss's help, I don't even know where the bones would be now."

Bai Chang nodded, his face showing complete agreement.

Auntie recalled the danger she faced in Longcheng, "That makes sense. So, you two aren't getting married?"

Bai Chang: "Let's talk about it after the natural disasters have stabilized. In another round of disasters, who knows what will happen to everyone? Why bother looking for a partner?"

Bai Jiu nodded: "Don't look down on my young lady for finding a partner and getting married. It's because both of them are strong people."

They were able to live a life of luxury and comfort in the end times, hardly suffering any hardship, all because they were by the side of the young lady.

Bai Shuang estimates that the next toxic fog will be acid fog, because everything is acidic now, and the evaporation into the air will form acid fog.

Bai Shuang suggests that everyone should always wear a mask and put it on immediately if they feel any discomfort.

She took out the protective suits and shields she had prepared years ago and distributed them to Lu Yu, Grandpa Lu, Bai Jiu, and her uncle, but she didn't care about anyone else.

There are too many employees and Lu Yu's army to take care of them all, so they are temporarily using disposable masks. They will wait for the base to produce protective masks before distributing them to them.

She had the chickens from the planting platform delivered to Lu Yu's military camp during the day, while she secretly stored them in her spatial storage.

Poisonous fog is unlike anything else; everyone could get hurt, including yourself, and you really wouldn't be able to care about them then.

After checking it again, Bai Shuang felt that the protective suit she had made for the snow leopard before was enough, so she made several more special masks for it.

The only good thing about acid rain is that scavenging is easier now.

In the city ruins, the cement, sand, and other materials covering the exterior have become even more rancid due to the corrosion of acid rain. Huge pieces of construction debris can be easily crushed with a hammer or even a stick.

The sand and cement covering the outside effectively protect the metal inside.

Since farming was no longer possible, Old Lu arranged for most of the labor force to scavenge and try to salvage as much metal as possible from the ruins.

On the engineering side, the construction of the cruise ship is nearing completion. Uncle Zhao said that only one last step is needed to finish it.

Currently, the main force of the engineering department is working hard to build the houses.

Although we cannot produce food at present and have no external food supply channels, we are not short of food for the time being due to the food reserves accumulated during the polar day. The military and civilians are united and the entire base is operating normally.

A month passed, and just when everyone thought the disaster was really over, the poisonous fog quietly arrived in the autumn of 1956.

That night, in her sleep, Bai Shuang suddenly smelled a pungent odor, sat up abruptly, and put on her gas mask.

Then, he quickly put the other mask on Lu Yu's face, not bothering to wake him up, and put the mask on the snow leopard first.

She considered throwing the snow leopard into her spatial dimension, but since the leopard was always by her side, wouldn't it be strange if it suddenly disappeared?

Besides, there are many things that we still need to try to overcome.

Open the bedroom door, go out and knock on Bai Jiu and Xiao Zhao's door, reminding them to put on their masks quickly.

At this moment, Lu Yu had already woken up and picked up his phone to call his grandfather.

Then, Bai Shuang and Bai Jiu went together to call Uncle Li and the others, while Xiao Wang and Xiao Liu called the military region.

The base's outer shell immediately shut down, and the oxygen generator and air purifier were activated.

It seems that the toxic component of the toxic fog is a gas, and a gas with a molecular weight similar to that of oxygen.

Therefore, the oxygen concentrator cannot separate it either.

After two days of keeping the outer shell closed to no avail, on the third day, they had no choice but to open it and face the toxic fog directly.

Bai Shuang was worried that it would damage her eyes, so she switched to a full set of gas masks.

At night, as soon as the bedroom door was closed, he took Lu Yu and the snow leopard into the space to sleep.

After nearly seven years of accumulation, I have now saved up half a year's worth of time in the space, which I can now use.

But we can't afford to waste a single moment, because who knows how terrible an Earth storm might be?

For the first three days, there was no noticeable discomfort, but on the fourth day, many people experienced respiratory pain, and some even started experiencing eye pain.

Al-Qaeda scientists and medical experts from White Frost were working together to study the toxic fog.

As Bai Shuang predicted, it was acidic, but not the sulfur dioxide or similar substances that had been previously imagined.

Before a specialized drug was developed, Bai Shuang would add alkaline medicine to the gas mask with Lingquan water, and it felt slightly better; at least, it wouldn't sting.

They distributed extra masks and face shields to the employees and Lu Yu's subordinates.

They also sell the potion to the entire base.

But even if we do this, it will only make everyone feel better; it's still not a fundamental solution.

As long as the dense fog persists, it continues to corrode the respiratory tract, and tests have shown that these are not bacteria or viruses, rendering antibiotics completely ineffective.

The spiritual spring water only has a restorative effect. The problem is that people cannot stop breathing, and after the restoration, it will cause stimulation and damage again.

Even the best masks and gas masks cannot completely block harmful gases.

Two weeks later, many people developed persistent coughs and began to feel weak all over.

A month later, some people were bleeding from their mouths and noses and felt weak all over.

In Kyoto, with the availability of Bai Shuang's medicine, the situation is relatively good. Bai Shuang heard from Elder Lu that other official bases experienced this phenomenon half a month earlier, and people have already started dying.

If the dense fog persists and no effective treatment is developed, the already small human population will die in large numbers.

But Bai Shuang had tried every medicine she could think of, and apart from the spiritual spring water mixed with alkali, nothing else worked.

There was still no good news from the research institute.

Ten days later, some children at the base had already died.

Bai Shuang quickly instructed Bai Di to add an extra layer of protection for Bai Niu Niu.

The hospital is not admitting new patients because many doctors are already feeling unwell.

All people could do was buy medicine to rinse and maintain the condition.
