As early as when the haze began to dissipate, Jiang Ning took three sets of acid and alkali protective clothing from the space and placed them in the villa, hoping that they would not go out, and even if they did, they would wear the clothes.
The protective clothing she stockpiled was thick and colloidal. It was indeed the highest level of protection, even if sulfuric acid splashed on them, they would not be afraid. The only drawback was that it was extremely heavy.
It was almost impossible to carry it with them.
I didn't sleep well that night. I woke up countless times during the night, and there was still the sound of pattering rain.
I opened my eyes in the morning, and the rain hadn't stopped yet.
I couldn't guess how long it would rain. It felt like it would last for ten days or eight days. Even if it stopped for ten minutes, it would soon rain again.
There was water everywhere on the road, and it was impossible to drive back even if the rain stopped.
Jiang Ning was impatient, and she couldn't wait any longer, so she chose the dumbest way - walking.
There were very few official protective suits, and they were shared by everyone. Jiang Ning couldn't use them for herself, but she couldn't guarantee their safety.
She returned them, and then took out the ones she had stockpiled.
It took a lot of effort to put them on. The thirty-plus kilograms on her body almost crushed her. The mask was very heavy, and the protective shoes were even thicker.
She opened the oxygen bag and stepped into the acid rain without hesitation. She
felt very safe, but the appearance was extremely ugly, like a biochemical suit. It was extremely heavy to walk, and she was tired after just a few hundred meters.
She couldn't feel the rain hitting her clothes, but the exhaled breath made the mask foggy.
However, the built-in desiccant took effect, and her vision soon became clear.
The Research Institute of the Chinese Medicine Hospital is more than 30 kilometers away from the Fengcheng Villa District. It only takes about half an hour to drive there. You can put on protective clothing and walk there. At this snail-like speed, you can't get there from day to night.
It has been a whole day and night, and the rain has not stopped. There are still people who have not returned home yet, taking shelter from
the rain under the eaves or shops on both sides of the road. They are getting more and more anxious waiting. They feel like going crazy due to hunger and exhaustion, but they don't have the courage to rush into the rain.
There are also those who are impatient and don't care about the consequences. They plan to go back as soon as the rain stops.
They found a wooden board to pad their shoes and slowly moved home. Who knows that they didn't go out for a few hundred meters, and the rain started again. Those who are
lucky enough to run fast can save their lives, while those who can't run can only be baptized by the acid rain, and it's useless to howl heartbreakingly.
Jiang Ning felt someone calling her, and turned sideways to find that it was a survivor who was hiding from the rain at the door of a store.
Some were envious, some were shouting and cursing, and some were jealous enough to throw things.
The colloidal protective suit was very good, so she couldn't hear clearly, but she could feel the gravel thrown on her body.
Jiang Ning scanned through the mask and successfully captured who threw it.
A middle-aged man, who was caught, not only did he not reflect, but his face was full of malice and mockery, as if saying, "Come here if you dare."
This is human nature, ugly and disgusting.
Once Jiang Ning passed by, several people would rush over to snatch the protective clothing, and it was hard to say whether she would drag him in and bully him.
In fact, he should be thankful, because if it wasn't raining acid, Jiang Ning would cut him into pieces.
She didn't fall for it and continued to move forward.
After walking for several hours, they still hadn't left the territory of Guangdong City. Occasionally, corpses corroded by acid rain could be seen on the road. The long-term decay had already made them unrecognizable.
Fortunately, Jiang Ning was not surprised, otherwise she would have vomited out the overnight meal.
Many survivors couldn't afford it, so they built shanties one after another. The roofs were covered with wooden boards or thatch, and some were made of iron sheets. The whole family lived like this.
It might be okay at ordinary times, but it was fatal when acid rain came.
The thin iron sheet was corroded, and the wooden boards or straw would be soaked by the acid rain...
She looked ahead, deliberately not looking at the sides of the road, but her peripheral vision still saw two children in their teens in front of one of the wooden houses. They stood on a broken table, holding up the door panels that had been removed to block the acid rain.
I don't know how long they held it up. Their limbs looked extremely stiff, and their legs were shaking violently. No one knew how long they could hold on.
Looking at their age, they were only about the same size as Doudou.
Jiang Ning took a deep breath and continued to move forward.
The clothes were too thick to sit down to rest. When they were tired, they had to stand to rest. They didn't even have a chance to eat lunch.
The road was more difficult than expected. It took eight hours to reach the border between the two cities. They hadn't even reached half the distance, and it was already evening.
It was getting dark quickly on a rainy day, so it was probably time to find a place to spend the night.
Jiang Ning looked around, trying to find a secluded place to enter the space.
After walking and searching for about half an hour, she saw a lonely thatched house not far away. Judging from the dilapidated roof, no one lived there.
Just as she was about to go over, she vaguely saw someone coming up the road.
It was gray and she couldn't see clearly.
She deliberately stopped to rest, wanting to wait until the other person walked away before going to the thatched house.
Unexpectedly, the other person was getting closer and closer, also wearing biochemical equipment.
Hey, why does his clothes look a bit like hers?
It seems to be a man, very tall.
She was alert and deliberately stood aside, but she didn't expect that the other person would actually walk towards her.
Jiang Ning was stunned and stared at the other person.
Through the mask, their eyes met.
She didn't expect Huo Yishen to come out to find her in the acid rain.
They stared at each other through the rain, unwilling to take their eyes off each other.
Jiang Ning walked over, and Huo Yishen opened his arms.
The two hugged each other tightly in the acid rain.
Jiang Ning looked up and asked, "Why are you here?"
"I'm worried about you."
Walking all the way from Fengcheng, it can be seen that Huo Yishen set out early in the morning.
It was almost dark at that time, and it was inconvenient to talk in the acid rain with a protective suit weighing dozens of kilograms. Jiang Ning pointed to the thatched house.
Huo Yishen took her hand, and the two walked not far away.
The thatched house was very old, with only two broken tables with missing legs inside. It was so shabby that it felt like the mud bricks would collapse at any time.
There was indeed no one around, so Jiang Ning and Huo Yishen flashed into the space.
Rinse the protective suit with clean water, then carefully take it off, breathe freely, and feel alive again.
Seeing that her face was full of wrinkles from the breathing mask, Huo Yishen reached out and rubbed her, "Does it hurt?"
Jiang Ning said slickly, "It won't hurt when I see you."
Huo Yishen smiled and hugged her in his arms.
Jiang Ning asked concernedly, "You guys weren't caught in the acid rain, were you?"
"No."
He happened to be on duty at the time, fortunately it wasn't acid rain at the beginning.
Everyone in the community was fine, they hurried home when it rained, but they didn't expect that real acid rain would come soon.
I was so tired that my feet were numb.
The two of them ate something to fill their stomachs, and after a short rest, Jiang Ning went into the bathroom to soak in the hot spring, but Huo Yishen followed in.
During this period, she was so busy that she had no time to talk to him even though Huo Yishen would occasionally bring them over.
Huo Yishen pinched her shoulders and waist. "Are you tired?"
"Yeah, but I feel pretty good." She hadn't worked so hard for a long time, but she also learned a lot of knowledge that she couldn't learn from books or videos.
Knowledge is the capital for survival. She can't compare with medical giants like Academician Li or Ma Guangnian, but Jiang Ning has learned everything she can in all subjects. With the accumulation of knowledge, her vision and self-confidence have improved a lot.
