Chapter 302
"If it rains for a few days, the roads will definitely be corroded, right?" Qi Mingyu asked.
Zhou Shuwan nodded. "Yes, it's all corroded and pitted, and the damage is even more serious. And this isn't the worst. I'm worried that when the acid rain stops, we'll be left with corpses everywhere."
The corpse had been corroded by acid rain for several days and nights, and all the flesh and blood were gone, leaving only blackened bones.
Zhou Shuwan felt a pang of fear when she thought of the miserable state of her mother and Mu Mu in her previous life. Mu Mu happened to be sitting next to her, so she touched Mu Mu's head lovingly.
Mu Mu was also worried about her parents at home: "Sister, then we can only wait here?"
The acid rain was so heavy yesterday that it corroded the car, making it too dangerous for them to go back.
Zhou Shuwan was furious, but he nodded rationally: "Yes, we have to wait until the acid rain stops before we can go back."
Qi Mingyu was also worried about Grandma Pang at home, but he felt that the community was still very safe, especially with the rotation personnel and Director Wu and others.
If Grandma Pang and the other three had returned home by then, the refrigerator at home would be full, and there would be two iron doors blocking the entrance to the corridor, so it would not be difficult to spend a few days there.
The fear is that they are trapped outside due to special circumstances, or like their current situation, which would be really dangerous.
"Don't worry too much. We'll go back once the rain stops. If you're worried that the SUV won't make it back, we can get another car."
There are many cars in Zhou Shuwan's space. They have been staying in the space well since the flood began. They have not been corroded by floods or high temperatures, so there is no need to worry about the tires being damaged.
Zhou Shuwan nodded.
The third day, the third day...
The acid rain keeps falling and shows no sign of stopping.
From their perspective, the underground roads were corroded with deep pits, and even the windows and the ground near the windows that were directly attacked by acid rain had large holes corroded.
Mu Mu pointed to the ground in the distance: "Sister, is that a dead person?"
Zhou Shuwan squinted and looked over. There was indeed a corpse on the ground whose face could not be seen clearly.
Judging from his posture, he seemed to want to run over here, but he fell halfway and never got up again.
Zhou Shuwan looked outside the room. Some people had already gathered outside, all of them sitting dejectedly on the ground. There were middle-aged men, women, old people and children.
At first they would hide themselves and try not to come to this floor.
However, after being trapped here for three days, the little food they had was eaten up, and the evil in human nature was aroused.
Robberies were happening everywhere, upstairs and downstairs. The fourth floor was the quietest, so some shrewd people slowly moved there, hoping to rely on Zhou Shuwan and Qi Mingyu, two skilled fighters, to avoid attacks from others.
However, when everyone was exhausted from hunger, they turned their attention to Zhou Shuwan and the others.
Zhou Shuwan and the others have been very careful these days.
We always ate in the tent, and the food we ate was tasteless.
However, the expressions of these people looked good and they did not look like they had ever been hungry.
The people outside believed that there were a lot of supplies hidden in their tents, and if they could snatch them away, they would be able to fill their stomachs.
The extreme hunger made them forget all their previous memories, and there was a green light in their eyes when they looked at Zhou Shuwan and the others.
These past few days, Zhou Shuwan, Qi Mingyu and Mu Mu have been taking turns sleeping, whether it's day or night.
Someone must be awake and keep a close eye on any movement outside.
Others try to replenish their energy while resting.
Even when eating, one person would eat outside while the other two ate inside. After they finished eating, the other person would come out and take over.
"They can't hold on any longer!"
On the third night, Qi Mingyu suddenly said while eating steamed buns.
Zhou Shuwan nodded and looked at the other party: "What should we do?"
She meant, to scare them off with firearms or to shoot them with bows and arrows.
Qi Mingyu hesitated for a moment, then said, "Let's use the gun first. It would be good if it can have a deterrent effect."
Because among the crowd gathered outside there were children of the same age as Mu Mu, and even two children younger than Mu Mu.
The child's parents were also very smart. They once let the child come in to tentatively ask for something to eat. The look of being on the verge of crying and haggard expression really made people feel distressed.
Mu Mu felt a little sympathetic towards them and quietly asked her sister if she wanted to secretly give some food to the children.
But Zhou Shuwan rejected it.
She also told Mu Mu seriously: "If we give them food now, it is equivalent to putting ourselves in extreme danger. They are eyeing us covetously. Once they find food, they will rush over regardless of everything. Mu Mu, there are only three of us, but there are so many of them. How long can we resist? There is acid rain outside, where can we escape to!"
Qi Mingyu also warned Mu Mu earnestly: "Mu Mu, we can help others, but that is within our ability. After the end of the world, life will be very difficult for each of us, so you must consider the consequences of helping others before deciding whether to help or not!"
"Things are different now than they were before the apocalypse, so you must treat those outside with the utmost malice, understand?"
Mu Mu nodded heavily.
Since the apocalypse, he had been well protected by his family and had rarely seen the darkness outside, except for the occasional times when he was out looking for supplies and was robbed, which he had shot. But during the high temperature period, he had stayed at home all the time and had forgotten all about such dangers.
This time, it can be regarded as an opportunity for on-site teaching.
Around seven or eight in the evening, accompanied by the sound of acid rain corroding the air outside, another mother came over with her child. She cautiously stood at the door and said to Zhou Shuwan and the others, "Girls, please be kind and give us some food. My child is so hungry that he can't stand it anymore. Please, I don't ask for much, just give me a piece of compressed biscuit, please..."
Her face had deep sunken eye sockets and a haggard look, and her child was so thin that it was a little scary, like a big-headed doll.
Zhou Shuwan looked into the child's eyes, which looked particularly large due to his thinness, and shook his head: "I'm sorry, we don't have any food either. I have a child here too."
"But, but you don't look like you're short of food..."
The mother was directly rejected and could no longer bear it, so she blurted out the answer.
Another middle-aged man who was hiding in the back poked his head out and shouted, "You said you don't have it, but you dare let us check your tent?"
If you can carry a tent with you, you will definitely carry food with you...
Zhou Shuwan looked over coldly.
The man quickly retreated and then directly instigated the others: "Look everyone, they have food, but they are reluctant to take it out! Don't be afraid, just rush into the tent, it must be full of supplies..."
