Natural Disaster: My Portable Farm in the End of the World

"Ouch, I'm still not used to the cold weather. It's too hot..."

Just for a moment, beads of sweat broke out on Xiang Chi's head, feeling that he was particularly bored today.

Several people went downstairs one after another. Seeing that someone was finally there, Mo Zhi and Qian Qiu stretched their necks and rushed to Chi and Xu Ge to express their dissatisfaction.

Xiang Chi quickly poured feed for them.

"Good boy, eat quickly, Saori."

Then he filled the water basins of the two geese with water.

Several old people had been busy most of the night and now went back to rest. Xiang Chi and Xu Ge were sitting downstairs, watching the geese playing and chatting.

Xiang Chi: "It would be nice if I could think of the storage room earlier. I've wasted hours in vain."

Xu Ge smiled.

"Just be content. Fortunately, you won't know until you finish everything..."

Xiang Chi: "Hahahahahaha, it's true."

While the two were talking, they heard a sudden "bang" outside.

Xiang Chi and Xu Ge were so frightened that they immediately stood up and walked to the window.

It was midnight and the yard was dark. Xiang Chi turned on the lights in the yard.

The lights illuminated the small courtyard, and after a while, the lights at Xu Tao's house next door also turned on.

After watching for a while, I found nothing unusual. Just as I was about to turn around, there was another "rumbling" sound...

Xiang Chi and Xu Ge looked at each other in surprise, feeling that they had heard wrong.

Xu Ge: "Why do I feel like it's the sound of thunder?"

Xiang nodded hesitantly, and before she could say anything, she saw a few raindrops suddenly appearing on the ground outside.

Xiang Chi pointed outside and was stunned.

"It's... raining?"

Xu Ge opened the door and felt a refreshing breeze blowing by. The air was not as dry as before, but had a slightly moist feeling!

It’s the smell of rain!

"Crack...crack...crack..."

Xiang Chi was not wrong, it was really raining!

Big raindrops fell, and soon the ground was wet.

The originally silent night gradually became restless.

After a while, I heard faint cheers coming from outside.

It's raining, it's finally raining.

After ten months, today, with the Chinese New Year just a few days away, it finally rained!

Standing in the yard, Xiang Chi could still hear the neighbors shouting "It's raining!"

The entire Dan City came to life because of the rain.

Countless people rushed out of their houses, opened their hands and felt the rain hitting their faces. People cried with joy, hugged each other, laughed and cried again.

An old man in ragged clothes walked out of the shelter and looked up at the night sky, tears falling down his face along with the rain.

"It's raining...Son, it's raining. Did you see it? It's finally raining."

The old man's son passed away half a month ago due to complications from heat stroke after rescue efforts failed.

Countless people have lost their families, relatives, friends, and even lives because of this protracted high temperature.

The people who survived cheered and roared in the rain. I want to vent out the pain I've been feeling for nearly a year.

The temperature also slowly dropped with the rain.

At the vegetable planting base, President Liao looked at the rain curtain in front of him with tears in his eyes.

"It finally rained, and God finally opened his eyes..."

Countless people walked out of their houses, rushed onto the streets, bathed in the rain, and felt this long-lost feeling.

Xiang Chi and Xu Ge couldn't help but walked out of the room and stood on the porch. Xiang Chi stretched out his hand and felt the raindrops falling on his palm.

"It finally rained..."

"Um"

They stood quietly for a while, listening to the sound of rain falling.

Suddenly, there was a "clang" sound, and the small door connected to Xu Tao's yard suddenly opened and hit the wall.

Xu Tao walked in quickly, looked at Chi and Xu Ge staring at him, scratched the back of his head, and smiled.

"Hehehehe, I'm so excited...it's raining!"

Xiang Chi rolled his eyes.

"We are not blind, we saw..."

As soon as they entered the house, Xu's father and Xu's mother were going downstairs.

Xiang Dad: "Is it raining? Is it really raining?"

After receiving Xiang Chi's affirmative answer, several old people were very excited.

It finally rained. If it doesn’t rain, I don’t know how many more people will die.

Less than a year later, it feels like a lifetime ago.

Due to the high temperature and a series of chain reactions, Dancheng, a fourth-tier city with a population of more than 4 million, suddenly lost nearly half a million people.

This rain not only brought moisture to this dry land, but also gave desperate people a shot in the arm.

The rain came just in time.

Just a few days ago, the water level in deep water wells has been declining for days, but the official did not announce this news for fear of causing panic among the masses.

In order to extend the water supply as long as possible, officials had to start limiting the amount of water each person could draw.

People who have experienced purchase restrictions and water restrictions are keenly aware that something is wrong.

Although there has been no official announcement, various rumors are still flying everywhere.

Just when the situation was about to get out of control, the rain came, and the leaders of Dancheng breathed a sigh of relief.

Previously, they learned through the military's communication channels that riots had occurred in many cities.

Some lawless elements incited the masses at the grassroots level and spread the news that the government had food and water, but the big leaders only cared about their own enjoyment and did not care about the lives of the people.

Three people became tigers, more and more poor people were bewitched, and some fish in troubled waters joined in, and serious bloodshed occurred in many cities.

Because Dancheng has abundant groundwater, the situation is relatively optimistic, but we have to be on guard.

All preparations had been made for this. Unexpectedly, the rain fell from the sky and a disaster was averted.

It can be said to be extremely lucky.

The rain gradually subsided, and people who woke up from the carnival took out all the containers that could hold water to catch the rain.

After all, no one knows whether the weather will return to normal after this rain.

The city stadium shelter and the industrial park subway station shelter were overcrowded three or four months ago.

If you come early, you can find a better seat against the wall. Those who arrived late were surrounded by people on both sides. The space was only about one meter wide for each person, and it was difficult to turn over.

Not to mention taking a bath, even drinking water is a luxury.

As soon as the rain came, no matter whether they were ashamed or not, more and more people began to take a bath in the rain.

Because of the rain, people who usually have constant conflicts have become less aggressive.

The rain continued until morning.

At around seven o'clock, the sky cleared and a big rainbow appeared on the horizon.

Xiang Chi stared at this rare beauty and sighed softly.

“I don’t know how long God can give people time to breathe...”

Xu Ge put his arm around Xiang Chi's shoulders and gave her silent comfort.

Because they discovered the wonderful use of the storage room, the two of them entered the space again in the middle of the night.

Because there are also many ducklings and quails, they will be enough to reproduce in a few days.

So Xiang Chi and Xu Ge didn't save any big ones and dealt with them all.
