Chapter 54 The Storm Continues (13)
Half a month passed in a flash.
Not only has the police made no progress, the situation on the military side is not much better.
Remember when a large amount of supplies disappeared from supermarkets?
At that time, they sent people to investigate nearby. During that period, the only thing that attracted people's attention was the incident of the S person in Building 12.
Although these two things cannot be linked together, no one wants to miss any possibility, so they have secretly investigated this matter. However, there is no suspicious family, so those supplies have always been a concern for everyone.
The news of another murder in Building 12 spread like wildfire, attracting a lot of their attention. They then joined in the investigation. Otherwise, why would they need to spend half a month to solve such a case without any doubt? However—
Not only was the murderer not found, but there was also no clue about the supplies in the supermarket.
So in the end, people on both sides had to return home disappointed.
After this group of people left, just when everyone was eager to try again, a breeze blew through the quiet outside, causing the leaves to rustle.
At first, everyone thought they had misheard, but when the wind grew louder, everyone became a little excited.
Ever since the poisonous fog descended, the outside had been utterly silent. But now there was a breeze blowing. Did that mean there were new developments outside? Would the poisonous fog dissipate with the wind?
Just when everyone was looking forward to it, only Lan Jin found the scene very strange.
In her previous life, the poisonous fog lasted for half a year. During this period, she had no memory of the wind picking up. Instead, when the poisonous fog was about to dissipate—
Lan Jin suddenly shuddered when he thought of this.
Could it be that the poisonous fog ended early?
But why did it come earlier? The day of the end of the world came earlier, and the day when the poisonous fog ended was also earlier. So will it continue to develop according to the previous life?
Lan Jin was a little depressed, but her depression disappeared after a while.
Why is she depressed? In her previous life, she only stayed in the apocalypse for a year in total. Who knows when the apocalypse will end? So as long as she has supplies, no matter what natural disaster occurs or how long it lasts, she can deal with it. So what is there to be depressed about?
…
An hour later, the wind outside was howling and blowing everywhere.
Two hours later, even though you couldn't see the trees outside, you could still hear the sound of the leaves swaying wildly in the strong wind.
Three hours later, the wind became even stronger. All the branches and grass were swept up by the strong wind and rolled into the air, and then slammed against the walls of the buildings, making a snapping sound, as if it was hitting the high-rise buildings and digging a deep hole.
Four hours later, the strong wind hit every household like an invisible pressure. Although everyone stayed at home, the noise outside was so frightening that everyone became worried.
It's nothing, a broken window is no big deal, but if the poisonous fog comes in, it will be a serious problem.
But after the strong wind blew for four hours, people clearly found that the poisonous fog outside had become much thinner. The original visible range was only one meter, but now they could vaguely see the opposite building. This was definitely a good thing for them.
The strong wind can blow away the poisonous fog, which also means that they can finally get out.
While everyone was ecstatic, Lan Jin was unusually calm.
There is no other reason, because a tornado accompanied by strong winds is about to come, and the places where the tornado has passed will be even more tragic, with countless deaths and injuries.
And the heavy rain after the strong wind is even more...
It would take some time to get out, but it was a good thing that the poisonous fog dissipated ahead of time. After all, during the three months of being locked up, not to mention others, she herself felt a little uncomfortable.
Faced with the impending new disaster, Lan Jin really didn't have anything to prepare in advance for the time being. However, looking at the sky outside that was about to get dark, and after looking at the time, she sent a message to Huang Jinghe.
Lan Jin: [Xiao Huang, remember to store more water.]
Huang Jinghe: [Sister Kelan, the poisonous fog outside is getting thinner. We'll be out soon. Why save water?]
Lan Jin: [Don't you think the wind is blowing strangely? What if the water or power goes out? It's always a good idea to save some money. It doesn't matter if you don't need it now. You can use it later and it won't be wasted.]
Huang Jinghe did not refuse, but immediately took out the container at home to collect water after hanging up the phone. No matter how spectacular the abnormality outside was, everyone would worry about having no water when the water supply was limited, so Huang Jinghe, who lived on the top floor, was unusually slow in storing water.
At this moment, Huang's father and mother called. Huang's father asked, "Jinghe, have you noticed the weather outside?"
Huang Jinghe: "I noticed that the fog outside is getting thinner and thinner. Should we be able to go out soon? But Sister Lan asked me to prepare some water, but I don't quite understand. I'm filling it with water right now."
Upon hearing Huang Jinghe's words, Huang's mother immediately said excitedly, "Listen to your sister Lan and quickly prepare water at home. We have received news that a tornado will soon arrive after the strong wind, and there will be heavy rain after the tornado. No one can predict how much rain will fall. It is better to be prepared."
Huang Jinghe gasped. After all, he really thought he could get out after the storm, but he didn't expect that there would be so many disasters waiting for him. "Mom and Dad, it's so hard to live. But how heavy can the rain be?"
"You kid," Huang's mother sighed. "Your floor will definitely be safe, but the ones below are not certain. Didn't you say before that the door to the emergency passage on the 31st floor could be tied up with a rope? Once the water is connected, tie up the downstairs immediately and don't open the door to anyone who comes."
Huang Jinghe immediately agreed, "Okay, Mom and Dad, I'll get some water first. Don't worry, I definitely won't open the door."
After hanging up the phone, Huang Jinghe immediately took out all the containers in the house that were not filled with water and filled them with water.
As for Lan Jin, she didn't wait for Huang Jinghe to tie the door, so she went downstairs to tie the door up first. Then she didn't forget to go to the 33rd floor to give Huang Jinghe a walkie-talkie.
Huang Jinghe was bewildered. "Sister Lan, your situation feels even worse than being in the poisonous fog."
"Look at the wind. What if there's a water or power outage? It's best to be fully prepared before we can't go out. I don't know how to use this thing yet, so you need to teach me first."
Lan Jin really didn't know how to use the walkie-talkie, so the purpose of giving it to Huang Jinghe was naturally to hope that he would teach her.
After she learned it, she planned to leave. Lan Jin said, "If your phone runs out of battery or has no signal, you can use this to contact me."
After Lan Jin left, Huang Jinghe sent a message to his father and mother about this matter.
Huang's father and mother were moved and kept in mind how Lan Jin had helped their son during this period.
Father Huang said, "No matter what, it's a good thing that Sister Lan is willing to help her son. We must remember this."
Huang's mother said, "I think we should just wait until the base is built and then give Zhang the invitation letter as a thank you gift. What do you think?"
