Chapter 47 Torrential Rain and Extreme Cold? 5
Chapter Forty-Seven
Lin Xia looked up at the sky, and she finally realized what she had overlooked: a lightning strike!
The sky was filled with lightning and constant booming sounds. She was used to thunder and rain, and her gaze was always fixed on the downpour and the temperature.
The topic of discussion has been the temperature changes after the heavy rain.
Even when she heard that someone had been struck by lightning or that a power plant had been blown up, she only thought that lightning was a byproduct of heavy rain. But what if the thunderstorm was the real disaster?
Conversely, heavy rain and temperature changes also make sense.
Lin Xia silently looked outside. It was getting darker, and there was thunder and lightning outside. It was not suitable to continue traveling. She frantically thought about how to get to that air-raid shelter.
Logically, this house should provide shelter from lightning and hail, but she still felt uneasy, as if it wasn't safe at all.
The higher her mental strength, the stronger this perception became; she always trusted her intuition.
Actually, moving around in the city isn't too difficult, since buildings are built along the roads and you can walk around inside the buildings. But the challenge is what to do when the buildings are far apart.
"Waaaah... I should have never come out."
"It's all your fault! You had to listen to that nonsense and look for some safe zone!"
"If I were still at home, I definitely wouldn't be injured..."
"Waaah, it's all because you insisted on coming out! You have to pay for my mom's visit!"
"You made your own choice, so don't blame me. Besides, if you stay home during a disaster like this, you'll die sooner or later anyway."
"But..."
"Stop fucking presumptuous. Did I drag you guys out here?"
......
Hearing their commotion, Lin Xia's lips twitched slightly, but she ignored them. She started cooking, eating boiled noodles as usual, and then boiled a pot of water, poured it into a thermos, and slowly drank the water from her cup.
It's a little past 4 p.m. Now, perhaps because they were tired from walking, or perhaps because they were frightened, the sound of snoring soon filled the hallway.
Lin Xia couldn't sleep, her mind racing. She didn't know when she finally drifted off to sleep, but she was woken up in the middle of the night by a child crying. She looked over and saw that the child seemed to have a fever and was crying in discomfort.
The child, around two years old, was frightened during the day and slept in this drafty place at night, wearing an ill-fitting down jacket. Children grow quickly, so the parents probably wait until the season is almost here before adding more clothes.
Lin Xia looked at the backup area and exchanged for 3 boxes of children's fever reducers, 3 boxes of cephalosporin, and several sets of thick down jackets that were one or two sizes too big. Seeing that they didn't seem to have a baby carrier, she exchanged for one and gave it to them.
The parents' eyes instantly welled up with tears, and they kept whispering thank you.
With just a dozen or so survival points, he could potentially save a life. Lin Xia stared at the string of survival points needed in the backup area, a mocking smile playing on his lips.
Is an ordinary life really that cheap? But if given the choice, most people would just want to live an ordinary life.
Looking at the little girl with a flushed face and a listless expression, Lin Xia sighed. She was so lucky to have survived the thunderstorm. She hoped that the little girl could live a long life, but the longer the apocalypse lasted, the fewer children like her there would be.
After finishing these tasks, Lin Xia walked a little further away. It was now 1 a.m., and the third day had arrived. She checked her survival points and found she had 11,893 points. She had only used 10 points to exchange for items.
I exchanged 5 Spirit and 7 Constitution, and my attributes became:
Name: Sanqi
[Spirit: 100 (+10)] (Including item bonuses)
[Constitution: 100 (+10)] (Including item bonuses)
[Strength: 38]
Speed: 41
When Lin Xia saw that her physique had increased to 100, her strength and speed had each increased by 10 points, becoming:
Strength: 48
Speed: 51
She was surprised, yet it seemed to make perfect sense. An improvement in physical fitness would inevitably lead to an overall improvement in the body. She just hadn't expected the game to actually work that way.
Only then did she notice that it was snowing heavily outside, and if she didn't leave, the road would be even more difficult to travel.
Without further delay, she turned on her flashlight and started cooking noodles. Those who had been woken up by the children noticed her movements and got up one after another. Seeing the heavy snow outside, everyone knew that the ice would be very slippery after the snow, and since they had already slept for a long time, they also hurriedly got up.
Lin Xia took out her long sword, glanced at them, and strode away.
The people behind hurriedly followed, and when they saw that a doorway had been opened out of nowhere in the wall of the building ahead, they were extremely surprised. After safely passing through several buildings, the crowd slowed down and stopped chasing Lin Xia's footsteps.
Those who were originally inside the building quickly packed their things and followed them after hearing their story.
Lin Xia walked very fast. When she encountered low buildings, they were all covered by ice, so she could only risk passing through from the outside. She would leave some marks, and she wouldn't care who followed her.
But if she gets a chill again, she'll quickly hide inside the building while simultaneously pulling out a megaphone and shouting, "Hide!"
Looking at the megaphone in my hand, I decided to finish what I started, within my capabilities.
The first time, people didn't understand what it meant, and the casualties were heavy. Except for those who had followed Lin Xia from the beginning, they only paused for a moment when Lin Xia spoke before quickly retreating back into the building.
When Lin Xia called out again, everyone knew.
"Brother, there are still supplies left, why aren't you looting them anymore?"
"What are you trying to steal? Who knows when those sounds of evading danger will stop? If you don't hurry up and follow, are you just waiting to die?!"
......
"Brother, I really can't walk anymore, let's rest for a while."
"If you want to rest, go and rest yourself."
"Brother, why don't you feel sorry for me?"
"Hurry up, what if we're too far away to hear the prompts?"
"Really?" The voice was uneasy.
"Nonsense, who knows where that sound came from? It might disappear in a minute. Hey, wait for me."
......
Gradually, many people discovered the passageway in the building, and in order to get on their way, even the disputes on the road decreased significantly.
They had to take cover more and more often on the road. Around 5 a.m., the thunder in the sky suddenly became more intense. Before Lin Xia could shout, everyone took cover in buildings.
But this time was different. There was thunder and lightning for a long time, but no lightning struck, and the snow gradually stopped.
Lin Xia had a bad feeling; she felt that nowhere was safe. After waiting for a while, it was eerily quiet. People looked at each other in bewilderment. Some of the bolder ones walked to the window and looked outside, only to be shocked and gaping in astonishment.
But before he could speak, people saw lightning outside, followed by the window turning to black ash.
When the lightning struck, Lin Xia quickly activated the [Basic Protective Shield] and curled up in a corner.
She felt as if her ears had gone deaf; apart from the rumbling sound, she couldn't hear anything at all. She felt the building she was hiding in collapse, something hit her and buried her. Through the gaps, all she could see was a dazzling white light.
