Chapter 127

rainstorm

"Boom!"

Suddenly, a dazzling flash of lightning broke through the night sky, followed by a deafening thunder, waking up the sleeping people.

Then, the sky seemed to have a big hole in it, and heavy rain poured down like a waterfall, hitting the glass quickly and violently, and it was falling very fast.

"Blah," the rapid sound of rain hits the glass, making a series of crisp sounds.

Fang Xin sat up and listened to the rapid and powerful sound of rain outside, and thought to himself, as expected, the rainstorm has finally come.

I don't know how the drainage system of the base is.

Hope it's ok.

The dog was startled by the thunder and jumped up.

“Woof woof woof.”

Fang Xin stroked its head and soothed its mood.

Finally, I fell asleep again listening to the sound of heavy rain.

The rain continued the next morning, but fortunately the drainage system in the base was good.

The base is also located on higher ground and shows no signs of being flooded.

Fang Xin filled his stomach to its fullest.

She found a raincoat, which was made of thick acid-rain-proof material. She was afraid of frequent natural disasters and what might happen if there was acid rain.

Although it was raining heavily outside, she still had to go to the training gym. She could not stop training, and even if there were knives raining outside, it could not stop her from becoming stronger.

Fang Xin wore something thicker as the temperature was quite low after a night of heavy snow, so he had to wear something thicker to avoid catching a cold.

Put on your raincoat outside.

She covered herself tightly, with her eyes completely hidden under the mask.

As she walked out of the unit door, the rapid raindrops hit her body painfully, and the wind was strong enough to make her raincoat rustle.

It was gloomy outside, giving the illusion that it was still dark.

Fang Xin saw that the drainage system on the ground was very good. There was no water accumulation anywhere, and the rainwater flowed unhindered into the wide drainage ditch.

Fang Xin got into her van and headed to the training gym again.

She then took out a van. A van has a lot of space and can hold a lot of things. It is also cheap and will not attract too much attention.

When I arrived at the training hall, I found that there were only about ten people in the hall.

The two instructors did not wait for others and started practicing when they saw that the time was almost up.

It seemed that because there were fewer people, the two instructors trained more strictly.

Especially for her, the other students were fighting in pairs.

She was the only one who could receive personal instruction from Instructor Yan every time.

He was even more ruthless in his attack. Fang Xin thought that Instructor Yan must be holding a grudge.

It seemed as if he would not stop until he tortured her to death.

It was raining heavily outside, and many scavengers could not go out and had to stay in the base.

Everyone is inevitably a little annoyed when staying here. Staying here for one day means no income for one day and one can only live off their savings.

Some people have no capital at all, so what should they do?

Therefore, thefts would occur from time to time in the dormitories.

A lot of people's stuff disappeared.

This kind of situation happened from time to time in the past, but it has become more serious since the heavy rain.

Some dormitories even have small groups, and every day the survivors must hand over some supplies to the leader of this small group.

In short, it's very messy.

Many survivors outside who did not choose to enter the base at first regretted their decision very much. Their houses were destroyed by the earthquake, and now there was a heavy rain, leaving them with no place to hide from the rain.

We had no choice but to go outside the base again, stand in line in the heavy rain and wait to enter the base.

Many people fell down in the heavy rain and never got up again.

The base managers were also trying to arrange for the survivors to enter the base, but there were too many survivors and it would take a while for them all to be accommodated.

They could only build some simple sheds outside for the survivors to shelter from the rain.

But many survivors still died in the rainstorm.

After a day of training, Fang Xin finally returned home exhausted.

Got home and took a look.

The walls and floors inside the house became damp and covered with water droplets.

Even the quilt was damp.

She ignored the pain in her body and helplessly wiped the water droplets in the house with a dry cloth. However, just as she wiped dry one area, it became wet again in a short while.

If this continues, mold will grow on the corners of the wall sooner or later.

Living in a house with mold for a long time not only smells bad, but is also bad for health.

It can cause rheumatism, arthritis and so on.

Fearing that the humidity would cause electrical short circuits, all electronic equipment was moved to a relatively dry and high place.

Fang Xin quickly searched the storage space for the dehumidifier.

One in each bedroom and one in the living room.

That should be all right.

Fang Xin took out the dry mop again to wipe away the moisture on the ground, and wiped the walls and ceiling dry.

With a dehumidifier, the house is finally no longer damp.

Fang Xin took out another dehumidifier and knocked on the door of the old couple.

It was Grandma Li who opened the door. The two of them were tired of staying at home during the heavy rain for the past few days.

Grandma Li smiled and said, "Xinxin is here, come in quickly."

"No, you guys use this dehumidifier, otherwise it's too humid and it's not good for your health."

Fang Xin said as he handed the dehumidifier in his hand to Grandma Li.

"Okay, then why don't you come in and sit for a while?" Grandma Li took the things and said, "Wait a minute, I'll get you something."

As she spoke, Grandma Li went into the house and took out a bag.

"Take this back and eat it. I thought you would like it, so I exchanged some for it."

The item felt quite heavy in her hand. Actually, she didn't expect Grandma Li to give her a return gift or anything, but when people get along with each other, a give-and-take relationship can only last long.

Fang Xin took it and said, "Okay, I'll go back then."

Fang Xin returned to his room and opened it. It turned out to be chocolate beans, a whole box. This box should be quite expensive.

Pick up one and put it in your mouth.

Wow, it’s a bit bitter.

Unexpectedly, it was still dark chocolate.

It tastes a bit bitter when you first put it in your mouth, but after chewing it, the sweetness is slowly released. It has a bitter yet sweet taste and a very good taste. She likes this taste.

I didn’t expect the old lady was quite good at shopping.

She had stockpiled a lot of dark chocolate in the Ugly Country before the end of the world, and also bought a lot when she bought it for free.

She thought that she should have a chance to redeem it. The value of the chocolate should be quite high. After all, ordinary people at the bottom would not buy it. They would buy some cost-effective food to fill their stomachs and would never buy such expensive things. Only people in the inner areas who had no shortage of food would buy it for the rich taste.

Seeing Fang Xin eating so happily, the dog came over, wagging its tail and asking for food.

Fang Xin ruthlessly rejected it, "Puppies can't eat chocolate."

The dog snorted and didn't believe it at all. Are you lying to the dog?

"I'm not lying to you, puppies really can't be eaten."

Suddenly, there was a roar of thunder, the lights flashed violently a few times and then went out completely, and darkness enveloped us.

The power is out

It should have tripped.

Fang Xin turned on the flashlight, and the flashlight flashed. She seemed to see something and crawled across the ground at an extremely fast speed.
