Chapter 26 It's raining acid
"I don't want to go!" A middle-aged man in his thirties stood up. "I don't want to take risks! Now that I have food, I can still hold on for a few days. If I leave here and get attacked by unknown creatures, I'm afraid I'll lose my life."
He was still frightened by the giant python attack in Taoyuan Village. Everyone on the boat died in the python's belly.
If he stayed here, he could wait for rescue. If he left here... he didn't dare to think about it anymore.
The other few people were also afraid. If they left here easily, it would mean they would leave their loved ones behind, and it was also a question whether they could come back.
Captain Huang stood up and said, "I said it's a voluntary principle. If you don't want to, I won't force you."
Qu Yanbai scratched his head, thought for a moment and said, "Captain Huang, come here, I have something to tell you."
"Since some people are willing to stay here, and some want to go with you to search for supplies, why not let those who want to stay stay, and then we will take all those who want to leave to search for supplies."
Captain Huang didn't expect that the man in front of him was more decisive than him. "This is also a solution, but they are from your same village..."
Qu Yanbai smiled awkwardly and said, "They are just from the same village, not my ancestors. We are all adults and have our own choices. We can't influence them."
Not to mention his fellow villagers, he now trusts no one except his grandmother.
He knew that Qin Muxue was also wary of him, and he couldn't completely trust her. However, in this apocalypse where mutant creatures were rampant, it would be like throwing an egg against a rock if he didn't have teammates.
Captain Huang was deeply moved by these words. "You are right."
He walked back toward the crowd and announced loudly, "We have just discussed this. Those of you who want to stay can stay directly. Those who want to leave, young or old, can leave with us. But you all need to be prepared. There is a high possibility that everyone will be attacked."
"I stayed!"
"I'm going with you, Captain Huang. I believe in your abilities. At least I feel safer with you. To be honest, I'm quite scared to stay here."
Half of the people left and half stayed.
Qin Muxue, Ding Manman, Grandma Qu, Qu Yanbai, Qian Xinran and her baby, Wu Yong, Wu You and Grandma Wu, and the young woman Hao Yulan and her husband Lu Hui, they all chose to follow Captain Huang's team.
There are two other soldiers in Captain Huang's team, one named Zhang Ziyu and the other named Chi Ze.
The rest of the people chose to stay.
Captain Huang left a radio communicator with them, "If the rescue team arrives, they will contact you."
I’m just afraid that this group of people won’t be able to hold on until the rescue team arrives.
Captain Huang went to Taoyuan Village for a special mission, as these people were not originally within his protection range.
Nowadays, various disasters keep coming. The only way to survive is to reach a shelter safely. Waiting for something to happen is definitely not an option.
A middle-aged man stopped Captain Huang and said, "Captain, since you are leaving, why don't you leave some food for us?"
Ding Manman didn't expect these people to be so selfish. Captain Huang had already distributed food to everyone, but he still wanted to take more.
Captain Huang replied calmly: "The food is distributed equally."
"Can the baby have a portion too? He can't eat it at all." The man pointed at the baby in Qian Xinran's arms.
Qian Xinran hugged the child tightly and looked at the man in front of her with some fear.
Captain Huang grabbed the man's arm and put it behind his back. He howled in pain, "Wasn't I right? Babies can't eat it at all."
"As long as you are a human, you can get a share. If you don't accept it, I can beat you until you accept it." The man looked at the gun on Captain Huang's waist, "Then you should at least leave a gun for us to save our lives!"
The old man behind him pulled the man over and whispered, "Say less!"
"Since you have chosen to stay, you must bear the consequences of staying." Captain Huang said nothing more. After seeing his sharp eyes, the man timidly retreated to the back.
Qin Muxue knows human nature very well, and only when she is strong enough can she intimidate others.
Now the survivors on the yacht were divided into two teams. Qin Muxue packed some packages and some commonly used items and put them on Baozhu. Now Baozhu also had an important role, which was to help her carry heavy objects.
Ding Manman carried some food and water, and she carried some other equipment. Qin Muxue whispered in Zhenzhu's ear: "The situation is special now, I really can't carry you, Zhenzhu, can you follow me?"
Pearl meowed and rubbed against Qin Muxue's legs. It seemed that she understood what was said and jumped directly onto Qin Muxue's shoulder and stood on it steadily.
Hao Yulan crossed her arms and sneered, "You brought the cats and dogs with you for emergency rations?"
Qin Muxue knew that this person had a sharp tongue and didn't want to get into trouble with her.
Who knew that the woman would say, "Cats and dogs are such a waste of food. It's hard for you to keep them with you. If you don't want to keep them with you anymore, remember to give me a piece of meat."
Her husband Lu Hui stared at Baozhu and swallowed his saliva. "Dog meat hotpot is delicious. We have been trapped in the village for so many days and haven't even had a good meal of meat."
Baozhu seemed to understand what the two said and bared her teeth at them.
Pearl walked straight to the woman, scratched her, and then quickly disappeared into the night. The two of them couldn't catch up with the cat at all.
Hao Yulan looked at the wound on her leg in pain, thinking that sooner or later she would have to kill these two little beasts and stew them for food.
Qin Muxue became more cautious. These people were eyeing the pearls covetously. If she had a chance, she must eliminate these uncertain factors.
She looked gloomy and said, "If you want to eat it, you can try it."
She would kill both people without leaving any body. Anyway, now everyone is just trying to protect themselves and no one cares whether murder has occurred or not.
Lu Hui felt a chill down his spine. He had just seen the woman's strength, and she was also armed, so he had better be careful.
Hao Yulan looked at Qian Xinran with the child strapped to her back and started to whine again: "Xinran, I'm afraid you can't walk very far with a child. You should stay and save more energy, and don't add any more burden to the team."
Ding Manman replied: "Why don't you think before you speak? Sister Xinran, please ignore her."
Qian Xinran did begin to hesitate at this time, not knowing whether it was right or wrong to bring the child with him to follow the team.
Seeing this, Qu Yanbai took the child from Qian Xinran's back and said, "Let me hold the child! It's a good opportunity to exercise."
He observed the baby in his arms and found that the child was looking at him with round eyes, innocent and naive. Suddenly, he smelled a sour smell. "What is this smell?" He touched his nose.
The baby in her arms saw Qu Yanbai's reaction and grinned.
Qian Xinran looked apologetic and said, "Sorry, the baby has poop."
Then she skillfully took off the child's diaper, wiped it with a wet wipe, and put on a clean diaper. Now the conditions are rather difficult, so she can only be more casual.
When the baby saw Qu Yanbai, he started babbling. Qian Xinran put a pacifier in his mouth and he calmed down.
But Qu Yanbai had an illusion that this baby's thinking was unusually mature.
A group of people packed up their belongings and started getting ready to go.
After they left, there were only ten people left in the corner of the supermarket. "It's good that they left, so they don't have to compete with us for the supplies here."
"I just fished out a lot of cans from the water on the second floor. Look." The middle-aged man opened the cans and started eating the delicious food. The fragrance filled the air among the crowd, and everyone couldn't help swallowing.
One of the women walked beside the middle-aged man and asked in a low voice: "Brother, can you give me a can?"
The man looked at her with a smile and threw her a can. The woman took the can and happily ran to the corner to eat it.
Another young man saw it and asked, "Brother, where did you get it?"
The middle-aged man pointed to the south and said, "It's there. If you want to eat, you can go there and earn your own living."
After saying that, he put away the can in front of him and his other food, made a gesture to the woman, and the two of them walked to a hidden corner.
The young man looked at the second floor that was flooded, with all kinds of messy garbage and some tattered clothes floating on it. He took a deep breath and walked into the water bravely.
He began to explore, and suddenly his eyes lit up, and he saw a rice porridge. He swam over excitedly, but a whirlpool suddenly appeared in the water, and the young man was uncontrollably swept into the flood. He was swallowed up before he could even speak...
The middle-aged man here had just finished making love with a woman and was about to go out to take care of himself. As soon as he took off his pants, he found that the rain that suddenly fell from the sky made his face hurt. He caught some rain with his hands and found that the rain could actually corrode his skin. He quickly hid in the supermarket before he could even pull up his pants.
"Damn, it's acid raining, it's acid raining outside!" he shouted to everyone.
The remaining few people looked at the black rain falling outside the window, their hearts filled with panic, "What happened to the sky? Why did it start to rain black rain?"
"We should have gone with Captain Huang and the others instead of staying here. No one will come to save us now."
Everyone was noisy and in a mess, and saw a familiar body floating in the flood. "Isn't that body wearing Xiao Ji's clothes?"
The woman pointed at the body not far away and said, "Xiao Ji was drowned!"
Little do they know that something more dangerous is about to happen...
It was late at night and everyone was unable to fall asleep listening to the sound of rain outside. Suddenly, countless red eyes appeared in the night.
"What is this?" The white-haired old man noticed that the noise outside was abnormal.
Something was pouring into the room where they were hiding, and several grown men were unable to push the door open even with their combined strength.
With a "boom", the door was pushed open, and countless rats rushed in instantly. Everyone was terrified, but there was acid rain outside and a swarm of rats in front of them. They had nowhere to hide...
Wherever the black swarm of rats went, not even a scrap was left. "My food, my food was eaten by them." The middle-aged man yelled as he watched the cans being bitten by the rats until not even a scrap was left.
The white-haired old man roared, "Stop shouting, you're attracting more rats!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the rats climbed onto the middle-aged man's back, "Ah! Rats are biting! Help!"
The sound was drowned out by the rats, and in the end, only a skeleton of the middle-aged man remained...
The white-haired old man closed his eyes and said, "This is God's punishment for mankind!" After saying that, he also disappeared among the rats.
Qin Muxue and her group were still searching for supplies inside the building when they saw black rain falling outside.
This was not surprising to her. This was acid rain, just like the rain in the original world. After the end of the world, it would rain from time to time.
But there are always people who are not afraid of death. Hao Yulan stretched out her hand to catch the black raindrops. Qin Muxue was happy to see her committing suicide, so she did not remind her.
After the black rain fell on her palm, she grimaced in pain, "Damn, this rain is like sulfuric acid."
In the past, humans polluted the environment and destroyed the balance of nature, and the blue planet would retaliate with several times the disaster.
"Wife, it doesn't hurt, it doesn't hurt. Let me blow on it for you." Seeing that his wife was injured, Lu Hui hurried over to check her wound.
Qin Muxue sneered, but it caught Hao Yulan's attention, "Are you laughing at me?"
At least she has a man to rely on. Qin Muxue is not only a woman, but also has cats and dogs around her. Even if she is good at shooting, so what? Hao Yulan doesn't care about her.
