Chapter 97 Corrosive Acid Rain

Wang Tao planned to go out with Han Rui today, but it started to rain heavily outside last night, so he canceled his travel plan.

Although rain will affect the perception of zombies, if it rains too much, it will also affect people's actions and perceptions. It may even be life-threatening. After all, too much rain will cause flood disasters.

So for safety reasons, Wang Tao decided to postpone it for one day.

After Han Rui got the news from Wang Tao, she secretly breathed a sigh of relief. She was really embarrassed to be alone with Wang Tao. Although Wang Tao would definitely let her go with him in the future, she could only delay it for one day now...

Wang Tao, a committee member, has no specific work, and he is not willing to bother studying the development of the base, so he is relatively free when he is in the base.

Wang Tao's plan today is to eat, exercise, sleep, and play games with his sister-in-law.

No need to leave the house, live the life of an otaku in the post-apocalyptic world.

But while Wang Tao was exercising, Ding Yuqin's exclamation suddenly came from upstairs.

"Wang Tao, come and see!"

Wang Tao came to the second floor.

Ding Yuqin was behind the sliding door of the balcony, pointing at things on the balcony.

Wang Tao followed Ding Yuqin's gaze and narrowed his eyes immediately.

"This is...Pothos?"

There were originally several pots of pothos on the balcony. This plant likes to be exposed to rain, so Ding Yuqin did not move it in.

But now the size of these green radish is obviously much larger than before! The leaves are as big as lotus leaves!

"It's the green radish...it, why did it become so big..."

Ding Yuqin couldn't believe it.

These plants have grown in size before, but they all grew slowly and not so obviously. Unlike this pothos, which grew so big overnight!

And it’s not just green radish. Wang Tao looked outside and found that the leeks in the yard had also grown in size, two or three times larger than before!

Wang Tao's brows frowned deeply. It's the end of the world now, and the occurrence of this kind of situation is not necessarily a good thing...

He opened the sliding glass door and reached into the rain.

After feeling it carefully for a while, Wang Tao quickly took his hand back, his face looking a little ugly.

"There's something wrong with the rain! I feel very uncomfortable!"

Not only did he feel psychologically uncomfortable, the most important thing was that Wang Tao saw that he was losing blood!

It takes about a drop of blood every minute!

"Wang Tao, what's wrong with you?"

Ding Yuqin saw Wang Tao's ugly face and asked worriedly.

"This rain is poisonous!"

Wang Tao couldn't explain it, mainly because he didn't know the reason, so he gave an easy-to-understand explanation.

"Poisonous?" Ding Yuqin was startled. She quickly grabbed Wang Tao's arm and pulled Wang Tao into the room. "Then don't touch the rain!"

Feeling Ding Yuqin's concern, Wang Tao shook his head:

"Sister-in-law, you don't need to be too nervous. It's not very toxic, as long as you don't come into contact with it for a long time."

Wang Tao looked at his hands again, and there were no wounds or anything like that on them.

"Sister-in-law, please don't go out until the rain stops."

"Um!"

Wang Tao and Ding Yuqin closed the doors and windows of their home, and then he contacted several other committee members and told them that the rain was poisonous.

Wang Tao still doesn't know what the blood loss situation is like in the rain. Is it a fixed drop of blood every minute? Or is it a small amount of blood loss in the early stage and more and more blood loss later? Or is it a drop of blood when the first contact is made and no blood loss later?

Blood?

All of these situations are possible. Therefore, Wang Tao cannot say how toxic this rain is without testing it.

After communicating with several other committee members, he discovered that the rain was not only toxic!

"This rain seems to be corrosive. After my car was soaked in the rain all night, the outside of my car is rusty!"

"Some of the flowers and plants planted in front of my gate have grown up, but some have dried up as if they have been sprayed with pesticides..."

"A soldier reported to me that the zombies outside seem to have become more rotten..."

"..."

After communicating with each other for a while, no one could say whether the rain was good or bad. We could only wait until the rain stopped to see.

Then Ren Jie started broadcasting to the entire base - there are loudspeakers installed in some fixed areas in the base to receive the committee's information. The sound of the loudspeakers is not loud, but there are people around, and then the message is transmitted to the surrounding people through these people.

With people, we can broadcast to the entire base.

Ren Jie informed all the survivors not to go out, but to stay at home and try not to get wet in the rain. This rain seemed to be a problem.

As for the specific problems, such as the speculation that it is toxic or corrosive, Ren Jie did not say.

Wang Tao thought Ren Jie had forgotten to mention it, but soon he realized that his situation was too small - the rain was getting heavier and water had begun to accumulate in the base. In order to drain the water, he had to organize manpower. Ren Jie

Let the survivors put on raincoats and go drain the water!

"We can't tell them that the rain is poisonous for the time being, otherwise if they don't drain the water out of fear, our base may be flooded..."

Ren Jie explain.

No one else, including Wang Tao, said anything.

Although it sounds a bit unethical, as the saying goes, good deeds are not worthy of public service. Ren Jie considered this from the perspective of the entire base, and there is nothing wrong with it.

When organizing manpower to drain the water, someone had to keep an eye on it, so Wang Tao went there in person wearing a raincoat.

Considering that the rain is corrosive, Wang Tao did not drive his own car. He has two cars, a new energy off-road vehicle and a diesel pickup truck. However, these two cars were placed in the indoor garage and were not exposed to the rain.

.

There are actually quite a few vehicles in the base, and Wang Tao directly requisitioned an off-road vehicle belonging to the staff on duty.

Several other committee members had already passed by first. Before Wang Tao went, he turned to the teachers' apartment.

When Wang Tao entered the teacher's apartment, he happened to see Sun Weiguang holding a walkie-talkie and talking to others, and Wang Tao shouted.

"Sun Weiguang, where is your wife Han Rui?"

Sun Weiguang was startled. After seeing Wang Tao, he subconsciously replied:

"She, she is at home..."

"OK."

Wang Tao went up without saying a word.

"..."

Sun Weiguang opened his mouth, he didn't know if he should go home.

Although she still lives with Han Rui, she has already slept separately. Han Rui doesn't talk to him much, has a very cold attitude, and treats him as an ordinary roommate.

At some point, Sun Weiguang still felt a little uncomfortable. After all, Han Rui was his wife. The two had lived together for some time, but now they were like strangers...

It was clearly promised that there would be no memory of the medicine afterwards, but Han Rui knew everything about it! Fake medicine is harmful to people!

But most of the time, Sun Weiguang is happy to be quiet. If he hadn't been unable to apply for a house now, he might have just moved out and lived with Ou Yingying.

When Han Rui heard the sound of the door opening, she thought it was Sun Weiguang, so she didn't pay attention.

Until she felt a tall shadow blocking the light outside the window.

Han Rui looked up and was immediately startled.

"You...why are you here!"

Wang Tao frowned immediately.

"Han Rui, what is your attitude? As a member of the base, I have personally arranged work for you. You don't welcome it?"

"No, I mean..."

Han Rui wanted to explain, but after thinking for a long time she didn't know what to say. She immediately lowered her head and sighed.

"Commissioner Wang, if you have any tasks, just ask..."

Of course Wang Tao was not really angry, he was just teasing her. So he smiled and said:

"You come with me to supervise other people's drainage. In addition, I need you to help me sense something."

"yes."

After Han Rui put on her raincoat, the two of them walked out. As soon as Wang Tao opened the door, Sun Weiguang, who was lying on the door, almost fell down.

"...What are you doing?"

Wang Tao has a black streak on his head.
