Chapter 144: Mom, I feel so hurt
The cheers of the crowd came into his ears through the glass windows. Xiang Yu stood in front of the window, looking at the cheering crowd in the square and on the street.
They threw the masks in their hands to the ground, and the carnival atmosphere reached its peak at this moment.
The damage caused by the volcanic ash was so great that some people were even left disabled for life. But while they were still partying, a patrol team of 20 people drove them away.
"Go back quickly, don't stand in the open air, do you hear me? Go back quickly..."
"Don't stand in the open air. Go back quickly. Can't you hear me, the people over there?"
At first, the patrol members tried to persuade them in a gentle manner, but when they found that no one was listening, they began to fire warning shots.
Their intercoms kept receiving warnings from above, asking them to evacuate as quickly as possible, and a waterproof cloth that had been prepared more than ten days in advance.
It was carried out by more than a dozen people. The waterproof cloth was made of ore and was cut into more than a dozen square pieces by a cutting machine.
There is a cover on top of each tin house. They dare not announce the news of acid rain, as this will cause psychological panic among the survivors in the shantytowns.
Some extreme survivors will take up arms and rob the safe cabin, which is made large enough with waterproof cloth.
I am also glad that I have collected enough ore in recent times.
After the shantytowns were fully protected, the loudspeakers in the shelter started to sound. They announced the news about the acid rain and told everyone the role of the waterproof cloth.
Although everyone was panicking, raindrops as big as beans were already falling from the sky.
This was the first rain after the extreme heat, but the crowd would not cheer for him.
During the extreme cold, most of the trees on the mountains had been cut down, and most of the tools in the shantytowns were made of iron.
Just when everyone was still doubting the authenticity of this heavy rain, someone soon discovered the horror of the raindrops.
The raindrops as big as beans fell on the iron stool, and the stool quickly began to rot and rust. The hoe placed in front of the door was also rotting quickly.
When the hoe was completely wet by the raindrops, it also turned into rusty water bit by bit in front of everyone's eyes.
They began to panic, wondering if this small piece of waterproof cloth could really block the acid rain. But this small piece of cloth really did block the acid rain.
"Son, my son, please come back soon," the middle-aged woman stood at the window, looking at the child squatting on the side of the road, calling out at the top of her lungs.
But the child had his back to her and could not hear her calling. He was concentrating on playing with the toys in his hands.
Raindrops fell on the child drop by drop, quickly corroding his clothes. The child also felt the pain at this time. He stood up and touched the wounds on his body corroded by the raindrops.
Tears welled up in his eyes and he kept calling for his mother.
He wanted to go home, wanted to go in the direction of the woman, and just as he looked up, heavy raindrops fell on his face.
The exposed skin was corroded by the acid rain in an instant. "Mom, mom, it hurts so much..., mom~~~."
The child endured the pain and walked towards home step by step, his skin eroding inch by inch.
The woman standing at the window burst into tears as she watched him. She broke free from her husband and mother-in-law, opened the door and walked out.
When she left, she also pulled down the waterproof cloth on the roof, covered herself with the waterproof cloth, and ran towards the child.
The husband and mother-in-law in the house looked at the waterproof cloth on the woman's body and their faces turned pale. The raindrops hit the iron house, making a tapping sound, like a death warrant.
The child had not taken ten steps towards home when his body was completely soaked by the acid rain. He lay on the ground wailing in pain.
He kept calling for his mother.
The acid rain poured down on him, and by the time the woman ran to him wearing a waterproof vest, the child had been corroded to the point where only a skeleton was left.
And his bones were constantly corroding. The woman immediately knelt on the ground and cried.
As he was crying while holding the child's corpse, the tin house behind him turned into rusty water due to the corrosion of acid rain.
Her husband and mother-in-law were calling her name behind her, but the woman was so immersed in the grief of losing her child that she didn't hear their calls at all.
He called out his child's name desperately. When he came to his senses and turned around, the tin house behind him had been completely corroded by acid rain and disappeared.
Two corpses were leaning against each other in the rusty water. Many people in the tin houses on both sides saw this farce.
The acid rain fell fast and heavily. The woman stood in front of the tin house in despair and put the bodies of the three people together.
The acid rain continued for three full days, during which time the patrol team delivered food to the shantytowns twice and also registered a death list.
Because they had made preparations in advance, there were very few survivors who died from acid rain. Among the tens of thousands of people in the shantytowns, only more than 200 died from acid rain.
Those who died were the survivors who refused to listen. Although the roofs of the tin houses were protected, the acid rain gathered on the ground and corroded many of them.
Fortunately, the rain only lasted for three days, and the shantytowns began to be rebuilt during the following period.
