Rebirth of the Apocalypse: Winning a Prize of 30 Million at the Beginning

Chapter 578 Terrible Acid Rain!

Volcanic ash filled the sky, floating in the darkness. In the darkness, the volcanic ash with the smell of sulfur fell down.

Volcanic ash continued to fly for five days.

For the past five days, everyone has been plunged into darkness.

Once people stay in the dark for too long, their psychology will change.

In the darkness, people's emotions will slowly breed evil thoughts and despair.

At first it was just a small sprout. As the darkness extended, the sprout continued to grow and eventually grew into a towering tree.

Temperature drop.

It has dropped to only twenty degrees.

The air conditioning in the Da Zhangshu Base has long been cut off, and everyone feels quite comfortable in this 20-degree temperature.

neither cold nor hot.

Occasionally, there would be a breeze blowing on my face. If you can ignore the volcanic ash falling from the sky and the air with the smell of sulfur, the temperature is still very comfortable.

However, when the wind blows, it is the most dangerous time.

Li Yu was not on duty today and went to the reservoir at the foot of the mountain to check. The reservoir is safe and sound. Although it was built in a hurry, the project is still quite good.

The water diverted from the Shantang Reservoir filled the reservoir.

Thanks to the protection of the shed roof and surrounding walls, no volcanic ash floated into the reservoir.

When the flashlight shines through, the water is very clear and you can see the walls of the cement pit on both sides.

Li Yu circled around the reservoir, then squatted down, picked up a handful of lake water with his right hand, put it to the tip of his nose and smelled it. There was no smell of sulfur.

Then I took a small sip, and it was okay. It tasted similar to the water I drank from Shantang Reservoir before.

Li Yu nodded, looking at the full lake, satisfaction flashed in his eyes.

This water can be introduced into the inner city and outer city through pipelines.

It's just that the water hasn't been used yet.

Li Yu left the foot of the mountain and looked at the fluttering volcanic ash. The volcanic ash was carried in the wind, carrying a trace of water vapor. Li Yu felt this trace of water vapor keenly.

He looked up at the sky, worry flashing in his eyes.

"It's almost there!" Li Yu murmured.

From the wet strong wind just now, he felt that it was going to rain soon.

Acid rain is coming soon.

Soon, he left the foot of the mountain and returned to his residence in the inner city.

Just as the front foot came back, I heard a roar from outside.

bang——

Thunder rolls.

The wind howled. With a loud noise, an acid rain fell from the sky.

The raindrops were like lead bullets, hitting the ground with a sound and splashing water.

Acid rain raindrops carry a corrosive smell that fills the air.

It's acid rain!

The patter of rain falls as soon as it is said.

As soon as Li Yu returned indoors, the intercom on his waist started to ring.

"Mr. Li, Mr. Li, it's raining outside now. The zombies outside the wall are going crazy."

Lao Lu's voice came from the intercom.

Li Yu's heart shuddered, zombies!

Quickly put on a protective raincoat.

Then he said while holding the walkie-talkie: "I already know, everyone pay attention, this is acid rain, it is corrosive to a certain extent, you must take protection when going outdoors!"

Acid rain!

Lao Lu and his uncle, who were on duty, looked at each other.

They felt the rain when they were standing outside just now, so they immediately ran back to the duty room. They had not yet felt any difference in the rain this time.

So I walked out of the duty room, stretched out my hand to catch some acid rain, put it on the tip of my nose and smelled it!

really!

This rain is corrosive to a certain extent, but not very corrosive. A strong smell of sulfuric acid hits the tip of my nose.

A steady stream of acid rain, falling.

Li Yu, who put on his raincoat, hurried to the wall.

As soon as I came to the wall, I saw that the zombies outside the wall became even more crazy. It seemed that the acid rain stimulated the ferocity of the zombies and made them extremely violent.

They are not just roaring under the wall, but they are constantly crowding towards the wall. Crowding and crowding, relying on the wall, the pile of zombies is getting higher and higher.

crazy!

Even Li Yu, who had seen such zombies and more terrifying scenes before, was secretly frightened at this time.

In order for zombies to pile up, one thing needs to be a sufficient number, and the other thing is that the zombies need to be in a crazy state, otherwise it will be difficult to form zombies that can be stacked.

Every time it rains, the zombies' ferocity, strength, sensitivity, and running speed will be greatly improved. It seems that they can obtain some unknown energy from the rain, or the rain can stimulate them.

At this time, Lao Lu and the others saw Li Yu coming to the wall, and quickly said to Li Yu: "Mr. Li, these zombies are even crazier than before during the heavy rain. Look, in just a moment, they are all stacked up two or three meters high." It’s high.”

Li Yu's face was a little solemn. He looked away at the zombies under the wall and said to Lao Lu: "Have you told everyone that you are not allowed to come out without a protective raincoat?"

Lao Lu nodded and said, "I said it."

Li Yu looked towards the wind turbine on the top of the mountain. Under the acid rain, the wind was also very strong, causing the fan blades of the wind turbine to spin.

Ta-ta-ta--

There was a sound of footsteps trampling in the water.

Li Yu turned around and saw Yang Tianlong and his second uncle coming over.

After living in the apocalypse for so long, everyone has already concluded from experience that there will be a wave of zombies every time there is a heavy rain.

With every heavy rain at night, the tide of zombies becomes more terrifying.

It has been dark and dark for several consecutive days now, and if it rains again now, this zombie wave is bound to happen, so they were not notified to come over. They all put down what they were doing and came here to check the situation.

"Xiaohang." Li Yu spotted Li Hang in the crowd.

When Li Hang heard his elder brother calling him, he turned his eyes away from looking at the zombies, and stood out from the crowd.

"Brother, I'm here, what's the matter?"

Li Yu looked at the middle part of the wall. He Bing's suggestion at the beginning was to move the switch knife on the wall through the efforts of everyone.

Now it is in a shrinking state, sticking to the fence, and the rainwater hits it, making a rattling sound.

"You go and ask He Bing to come over, let's go together and open the mobile switch knife under the gate to check whether it can operate normally."

This mobile switch knife has been installed for a while, but I have never had a chance to use it.

It was hot weather before, and basically there were not many zombies outside, so naturally it was rarely used.

Moreover, the zombies that appeared before were not enough to form a stack, so they have never been used.

Right now, there may be a chance to use it.

Li Hang looked at the zombies under the wall and said excitedly: "Okay, I'll call him right away."

Li Hang and He Bing put a lot of effort into developing the mobile knife.

Including stability, power supply, and how to route the lines. In order to install this mobile gate blade, they also widened the fence by half a meter. Just to be able to protect the line.

After spending so much effort, now I can finally use it, so naturally I want to see the effect.

Looking at Li Hang's back as he went down, Li Yu was thoughtful.

There is acid rain now, so the staff on duty must be rearranged.

The protection in the base needs to be strengthened again, and the staffing on the fence needs to be doubled.

Moreover, this acid rain lasted for a long time.

It will cause great pollution to water sources. Even groundwater, although filtered by thick soil, will still be polluted by acid rain because it has been falling for too long.

Can the water polluted by acid rain be drunk?

If you look at it from the perspective of pre-apocalyptic experts, you cannot drink it.

But if it is a time of crisis, they have to drink.

Mountains, swamps, rivers and lakes will be polluted by acid rain, as will groundwater.

If you don't drink water, you will die of thirst.

The water in some places is not too seriously polluted by acid rain, and the impact is not too serious.

But in some areas, drinking water seriously polluted by acid rain will have serious consequences.

Moreover, living in acid rain for a long time and drinking acidic water will cause a series of diseases such as respiratory organs, kidney disease and cancer.

The closer the place is to the volcanic eruption, the lower the pH value of acid rain, the stronger the acidity, and the greater the harm.

In acid rain, even if you don't drink acid rain, if you are in acid rain for a long time without protection.

First of all, acid rain can cause damage to human skin. Acidic substances can affect the respiratory function of the lungs, causing acute and chronic respiratory damage, and can also cause damage to human eyes.

Acid rain is a disaster, a disaster for mankind.

But under this acid rain, it is a feast for the zombies.

Continuous darkness, majestic acid rain, this is the unique hunting moment for zombies.

Tap tap tap——

He Bing and Li Hang ran up the wall. Li Yu saw that He Bing did not wear a protective raincoat and couldn't help but cursed: "Didn't you just get a notice? You must wear a protective raincoat when you go out of the room. Why didn't you bring one?" .”

He Bing was a little confused by the random criticism.

Just now, he was still in the First Outer City, taking advantage of the time when there was light, and was concentrating on studying some gadgets, but he was pulled out by Li Hang.

"I came here in a hurry and forgot." He Bing lowered his head and said, and he didn't quite understand.

He felt that the corrosiveness of the acid rain was not bad. He had just been exposed to the rain and didn't feel any discomfort at all.

"First go to the duty room and get a set of protective raincoats. You put it on first." Li Yu was a little speechless and took him into the duty room to put on protective clothing.

Before his rebirth, he underestimated the dangers of acid rain. In the end, being exposed to acid rain for a long time caused ulcers on the skin on his face and hands, which later became itchy, red and swollen, and finally left him disfigured!

In the apocalypse, whether a face looks good or not is not very important, but it was a huge blow to Li Yu, which also made him become more extreme later.

After the acid rain continued for several days, he became extremely thirsty in that basement and drank a lot of groundwater contaminated by acid rain. In the end, his throat burned, his voice became like a rag, and his intestines and stomach were also affected.

Later, I suffered from stomachache from time to time, which was caused by the acid rain.

Although he survived, being exposed to acid rain and drinking water contaminated by acid rain also left many sequelae on his body.

After returning from rebirth, he would never let such a thing happen again.

The water storage reservoir built at the foot of the mountain is to maintain a clean water source in the base during this acid rain.

Although it is possible to distill pure water with the equipment currently in the base, it consumes too much energy and the output is too little.

The 6,000 tons of water stored in advance are prepared for this!

When He Bing was wearing a protective raincoat, Li Yu patiently told him about the dangers of acid rain.

He Bing himself knew the dangers of acid rain, but he didn't expect it to be so serious.

Hearing what Li Yu said, the depressed mood of being scolded by Li Yu just now turned into gratitude to Li Yu in an instant.

Saying this and scolding him is all for his own good.

Li Yu said this to He Bing in front of everyone, just to sound a wake-up call for everyone, and they must not be sloppy in the face of acid rain.

Then he said to his second uncle:

"People in the base must pay attention to this matter. Don't think that it's just getting wet and it seems like you don't feel anything. But you must know that if this happens often, the final consequences will be very serious. Everyone must be alert. "

The second uncle also heard what Li Yu said just now. At this time, he received Li Yu's instructions and said: "Well, we must pay attention to it. I will remind them right now."

At this time, He Bing also put on his protective raincoat, looked at Li Yu and said, "Mr. Li, I've already put it on."

"Well, you and Xiaohang go to open the switch knife on the side of the gate, let's take a look."

"Okay." He Bing opened an iron box inlaid on the wall of the duty room.

There is a row of red buttons inside, and there are push rods that can adjust the speed up and down the buttons.

I saw He Bing pressing the red button in the center.

Clang, Clang, Clang——

Outside the duty room, there was a heartbreaking sound.

Li Yu and others walked out of the duty room.

I saw several long and sharp knives bouncing up from the ground, on the 8 to 10-meter wall.

Then, move back and forth from side to side.

Not very fast.

"Raise the speed up one gear." Li Yu said to He Bing in the duty room.

He Bing heard Li Yu's order and pushed the lever under the red button to the [2] position.

Clang, Clang, Clang——

The knife that was moving very slowly just now accelerated instantly, increasing its movement speed by at least 30% compared to just now.

Seeing this speed, Li Yu said to He Bing in the duty room.

"Faster!"

The moving blade speeded up again. Under the acid rain, the sharp blade cut through the rain curtain at an extremely fast speed.

"Pull as fast as possible." Li Yu shouted.

Swish——

The moving blade was instantly increased to the fastest speed. The blade moved at an extremely fast speed, and the sword light connected into one piece. Looking down, it seems that there is no gap at all between the blades.

Under the illumination of the searchlight, the fast-moving knife was like lightning in the dark night, and the sharp blade flashed with terrifying murderous intent.

The wall is more than 20 meters high. It has just rained acid rain now. Although these zombies are rioting, they are only three meters high. The knife is still more than eight meters high, so there is no such thing as the knife cutting zombies for the time being. A scene appears.

However, as time goes by, if these zombies are left alone, the height of these zombie stacks will definitely become higher and higher.

After a brief inspection of the mobile knife, Li Yu felt that it was OK, so he asked He Bing to temporarily close the knife.

Just wait, it will come in handy sooner or later.

He Bing walked out of the duty room and said to Li Yu: "Mr. Li, the faster the moving knife, the more power it consumes. I suggest that it is better to use the third gear, or the second gear is better. .”

"Well, let's wait until then. Let's have a meeting now to discuss the next duty plan. Go and call He Chao, Lao Luo, and Lao Qin over."

"Okay." He Bing then went down from the wall.

In this situation, it would be too difficult to rely solely on people from the inner city to guard the wall.

Lao Luo, Lao Qin and the others have been joining the Zhangshu Base for some time, especially He Chao and the others, it has been a long time.

Loyalty is tested.

There are five duty rooms on the wall. It is impossible for them to stand under the acid rain and watch at any time.

So except in times of crisis, they can stay in the duty room.

In the base, apart from the gate and the walled duty room at the back door, which must be guarded by the inner city, Lao Qin and others can also come to help in the other three directions.

——

Long wait, guys.

I'm going to keep posting updates!
