Chapter 206 Acid Rain
The people eating looked up at the vast sky, with only one thought in their minds.
The farm is outdoors. What methods will the team leader use to protect it from acid rain tomorrow?
My previously calm heart suddenly jumped into suspense again.
Being exposed naked under the sky like that really makes me feel unsafe.
So much so that they couldn't sleep soundly at night, and would often come out of the castle to see what was happening outside.
The next morning, when it was already bright, they should have finished breakfast and gone to the fields to harvest the crops, but no one dared to leave the castle even for a moment.
Because they still haven't seen Meng Wanzhou take any measures to defend against acid rain.
Tao Yarong explained to them, "This is the captain's spatial domain; acid rain can't get in."
Lulu's mother, still holding Lulu, said fearfully, "Let's wait a little longer. Didn't they say the acid rain would start around 8 o'clock? Let's wait and see."
Tao Lina explained, "Even though we know the acid rain won't come down, we're still really anxious standing outside. Let's wait a bit longer; it'll make us feel more at ease."
"Yes, it won't take long."
The impending acid rain is like a knife hanging over your head; you know it won't fall, but you're also terrified if it does, which sends chills down your spine.
They've all managed to survive this long, and they all cherish their lives very much.
Tao Yarong stopped insisting and said they would wait together. Once they saw that the acid rain really couldn't get in, they would feel at ease.
They waited and waited, but the sun remained shining brightly in the sky, showing no sign of rain.
With a deafening roar, the thunder shook everyone to their core, startling them so much that they quickly looked up.
The sky remained clear and cloudless.
Everyone: ? ? ?
Where did the promised acid rain go?
Look at the horizon!
Someone shouted, and everyone looked in the direction of the sound. The sky was dark and gloomy, with thick clouds and flashes of lightning and thunder.
They looked up, and the sky above them was still clear and cloudless.
It was as if the place they were in was a peaceful haven carved out of the black thunderclouds, where all the surrounding dark clouds churned and roamed, yet all was serene.
Lulu's mom asked in surprise, "What's going on? Why aren't there any clouds here?"
"No wonder the captain is so calm. The acid rain really can't get in. How does he do that? It's amazing."
"I have a sense of unreality, as if our area is cut off from the world, and no matter what happens outside, it doesn't affect us here."
Some people took out their phones to go online and check what was happening online.
The situation is completely different online.
Those staying inside the seed base are fine; with the sky barrier and so many superhumans guarding them, nothing will happen to them.
Some private bases with insufficient resources are going to suffer.
In the video, someone is standing in front of a window with their phone, recording the moment acid rain arrives.
A thunderclap boomed, and rain poured down like a torrential downpour.
Acid rain hit the glass, and the glass melted rapidly like ice. The person filming quickly retreated, and a drop of rain splashed onto their clothes, instantly burning a large hole.
In the video, someone exclaims, "Oh no! The wall is melting away little by little. I don't know how long it can last!"
"It's not safe inside the building. What if it collapses? Let's hide in the basement."
“Basements are even less safe; acid rain will get in and you’ll die even faster.”
"It's all over now. All I can do is pray that the building is sturdy and that the developer is conscientious and uses good materials."
It is easy to see from the video that the tiles and coatings on the exterior walls of the nearby high-rise buildings are peeling off in large chunks due to the acid rain.
The interior walls are made of reinforced concrete, which is somewhat corrosion-resistant, but it still cannot withstand long-term acid rain erosion.
The whole world is decaying, becoming dilapidated and broken under the erosion of acid rain.
Scroll to the next video, and you'll see the same scene: the creaking sound of acid rain corroding buildings, as if it were the world's lament.
Inside the castle, everyone fell silent for a moment.
Instead of being relieved to have escaped, their first thought was how many more people had lost their lives.
How many people are struggling to survive in this acid rain?
Zhang Qiang suddenly asked a strange question, "Do you think such strong acid rain will corrode the zombies, greatly reducing their numbers and making them less of a threat?"
Everyone was quite surprised; this really was a natural and effective way to eliminate zombies.
Zhou Wen held up his phone and said in a low voice, "Don't think about it, the zombies are doing just fine."
In the video, the wandering zombies swayed leisurely in the acid rain, showing no signs of being corroded by the zombies.
Everyone fell silent again.
Lei Zhe shouted at them, "Get to work! The more you produce, the more people will have enough to eat."
Then everyone rushed into the fields to continue their harvest work.
Meng Shiwan had lived two lifetimes and still couldn't figure out why acid rain didn't corrode zombies.
Acid rain that can corrode steel and concrete, acid rain that can corrode humans to the point of leaving no bone fragments, actually does no harm to zombies, which Meng Shiwan finds very hard to understand.
In the end, Meng Shiwan could only attribute it to the possibility that it was related to the zombie virus, which could make people immune to the corrosion of acid rain.
These are all her guesses.
Meng Shiwan got out of the RV and looked at the dark clouds on the horizon. Her whole demeanor was frighteningly cold.
This damn apocalypse, how will it ever end?
Suddenly, Ta Xue emerged from its grape hut, staring warily in one direction, and quickly ran out of the orchard.
Two pandas followed closely behind.
Seeing that Ta Xue was not in a good state, Meng Shiwan also followed her out of the orchard.
Ta Xue rarely experiences this state; perhaps he has made some new discovery.
Once outside the orchard, Meng Shiwan looked in the direction Ta Xue had run and saw a group of animals rushing towards them.
Monkeys, pangolins, birds, snakes, and all sorts of other forest animals.
It seems that it was frightened by the acid rain, discovered the farm, and ran over from the mountains.
It's remarkable that they've survived the high temperatures and the lack of food until now.
It's their fate that they managed to find the farm and hide there.
Meng Shiwan instructed Taxue, "Drive them to the edge, just make sure they don't hurt anyone, don't kill them."
It is a blessing that every life can be lived now.
"Meow……"
Ta Xue responded and, with its two little brothers, went to teach the group of wild animals the rules.
Meng Shiwan returned to the small garden, squatted by the pond, scooped up the fruit from the water, washed it, and put it into the refrigerator so she could take it out and eat it whenever she wanted.
She was still pondering the formula for acid rain resistant metals.
Suddenly, something she hadn't understood suddenly became clear to her. Meng Shiwan used her metal-based superpower, and her palms transformed into black metallic material.
Meng Shiwan tapped her metallic arm and suddenly realized something was wrong.
She leaned closer to examine the metal and found it very strange.
Its texture is like metal and stone, but it feels a lot like the material of the black cube.
