late at night.

Lightning tore through the dark night, heavy gray clouds, and muffled thunder.

A heavy rain came unexpectedly, the howling wind was like a devil's whisper, and the big raindrops were carried by the wind and smashed against the glass, making knocking sounds one after another.

Residents in the community woke up from their sleep, but they did not panic or complain.

People got up in unison and started carrying pots and buckets to their balconies and rooftops to collect water.

Regarding precipitation as a gift from heaven's mercy on all living beings is the basic consciousness that people develop in the apocalypse.

The summer temperature in H City is high and the rainfall is low. There were less than ten heavy rains in the whole summer, and today's downpour was the first time.

Without the weather forecast that floated on the mobile phone screen every day before the end of the world, every sudden heavy rain can make people ecstatic.

Because Qin Miao's home is soundproofed and the double-layered windows are separated by a layer of thick curtains with a 95% shading rate, when the thunder is weakened by several layers and spreads into the house, it is not enough to wake up a sleeping person.

Qin Miao was awakened by Liu Shaogang's news. She opened the curtains sleepily, and a blinding lightning exploded in front of her eyes.

She was in a trance and stood in front of the window for a long time. Suddenly, her mind recalled the woman in red clothes in her dream and the poem she recited in a low voice.

The roaring thunder, pouring rain, and rapid lightning seemed to build a bridge of time and space, pulling her soul away from her body and gradually drifting behind the rain curtain...

"Miaomiao."

"Why are you awake?" Chu Xuanxuan's hoarse voice brought Qin Miao's wandering thoughts back to reality.

When Qin Miao turned her head, Chu Xuanxuan had already sat up and picked up the water glass on the bedside table.

"It's raining. Let's go out soon." Qin Miao's voice was very soft: "Be quiet, don't wake up your parents and Xiao Mo."

After drinking more than half a glass of water, his throat was no longer dry and hoarse. Chu Xuanxuan happily responded: "Okay~"

This summer, Chu Xuanxuan has not been exposed to rain or stepped in puddles, and she always feels shortcomings or something.

At one o'clock in the morning, after changing into raincoats and rain boots, the two of them tiptoed out.

The two of them each carried a large backpack, which contained five small inflatable swimming pools and some outdoor plastic water bags.

Chu Xuanxuan was also carrying three folding tarpaulin bath buckets, and Qin Miao was carrying a bag of pure cotton half-sleeved shirts and disposable raincoats of various sizes.

The inflatable swimming pool was recovered from the fishing project and the inflatable fort ocean ball park during a sweep of the shopping mall. The water storage bag was given by the merchant when I bought the water storage bucket. The folding bathtub was removed from the blind express box.

When they arrived at the supply station, everyone had been busy for a long time.

Usually when it rains lightly, I don't feel rushed. Today, the rain was heavy and heavy. Everyone found that there were too few containers for storing water, and all kinds of pots and pans were dug out to catch the rainwater.

There are no zombies in the community, so everyone simply puts the larger-capacity containers on the open space outside the unit door.

The container was quickly filled, and they moved back again and again, busy.

Among them, Li Meimei is the most diligent. When the vegetables she grows are mature and harvested, especially long-term crops such as luffa, the fruiting period requires several times more water than the seedling stage.

Qin Miao and Chu Xuanxuan went down the stairs from the second floor to the first floor and then to the entrance of the supply station. In this short period of time, Li Meimei had already made two trips holding a basin in one hand and a bucket in the other.

She was not wearing a raincoat, and her long-sleeved shirt, which was still stained with mud, was soaked by the rain and stuck to her body.

The broken hair on her forehead was also wet, and water dripped down the tips of her hair into her eyes. She lowered her head and wanted to rub it randomly on her shoulders, but because the bucket in her hand was too heavy, she couldn't lift her arms and could only He squinted one eye and continued walking forward.

She only has one level 1 elemental power. She is different from Zheng Tingting, who has enhanced powers with physical bonuses, and she is not as strong as Cao Tie, but her clothes stick to her body and make her look special. The thin body now bursts out with energy that cannot be ignored.

Qin Miao's heart moved slightly, and when Li Meimei passed by her for the third time, she picked up the other person's arm. When she was stunned, he leaned over and took the bucket from her hand, and strode into the supply station room.

Li Meimei was held by Qin Miao's arm with irresistible force, and she followed him into the house in a daze.

Qin Miao let go of her hand and said in a gentle voice: "Stop working and call everyone into the room."

"Ah, okay, I'll go right away." Li Meimei responded repeatedly, bending down to put the stainless steel basin held in her other arm on the ground, and then finally freed her hands.

After wiping the rain off her face, she hurriedly ran out the door.

"Boss." Feng Wentao, who came in later, also put down the rice cooker he was using to temporarily collect water, pushed back his dripping hair, and greeted Qin Miao with a smile with his smooth head exposed.

Qin Miao looked around and didn't see Liu Shaogang and Zhang Huofeng. She asked Feng Wentao, who was smiling stupidly, "Where is Liu Shaogang?"

"Brother Shaogang and the others are storing water on the rooftop. There are some big plastic boxes there."

After Feng Wentao finished answering, seeing that Qin Miao was speechless, he asked tentatively: "Shall I go and call them back?"

Qin Miao nodded: "Go ahead."

"okay!"

Feng Wentao basically made a joke every time he saw his boss, but today he finally didn't feel embarrassed. Seeing the faint smile on Qin Miao's face, he felt that he had made great progress and ran away happily.

Everyone entered the room one after another. Qin Miao handed the towels that had been wetted with warm water to everyone one by one, while Chu Xuanxuan poured out everything in his backpack.

When everyone arrived, Li Meimei's hot ginger water boiled in the solar electric kettle.

Qin Miao waved her hand and called everyone to the dining table: "Drink a bowl of ginger water first, and then change your wet clothes."

The medical conditions are too poor. Although I have stocked up on a lot of medicine, I still try to avoid getting sick.

"Boss, we're not tired. It's important to save water. We'd better go first..."

Cao Tie only said half of what he said when Zhang Huofeng grabbed his arm and said, "Tiezi, let's just follow the boss's arrangements and be done with it."

He took the ginger water and stuffed it into Cao Tie's hand, blocking the mouth of the boy who was involved in involution every day.

Qin Miao smiled lightly: "Looking at the rain, it will continue to rain for a while. Sharpen your knife and chop wood."

She looked at Cao Tie, who was restless and looking out the window: "If you are in a hurry to work, drink the ginger water quickly, change clothes, and take the inflatable swimming pool to the rooftop to fill it up."

The air pump is foot-operated, and the five pools can probably cover the entire rooftop. It takes at least an hour to fill them with water.
