I was reborn after the end of the world

Chapter 152 The water receded, revealing the dry mud

After another seven or eight days, the water level finally receded, revealing the silt accumulated underneath, but the stench did not dissipate at all. It may be necessary to wait until the silt dries up before the smell will slowly dissipate.

The group of people in the villa on the top of the mountain have become a lot darker these days. The water level has become shallower in the past two days, and no one has moved into Yue Mansion for the time being.

Without exception, all the residents who moved in have solar panels, so that they can live in the villa for a long time. Otherwise, it would be better to live in the community. Although the floors are high, it may be better than the villa.

The temperature has been stable at 73 to 74 degrees in the past few days. Only at the foot of the hill behind the villa can you still see some green. There are no green leaves on the top of the hill, only withered yellow.

Yun Yao and her friends' villa is some distance away from the hillside. In the past few days, they have been paying attention to the situation on the hillside. After all, the weather is dry and they are afraid that if they are not careful, a forest fire will start and spread to the villa, which would be bad.

Yun Yao and the others were currently facing the morning sun. Although it was still morning, the sun was not gentle at all. Large drops of sweat rolled down their faces, and their faces were covered with two patches of highland red.

The conditions on Yun Yao, Sang Ning and Lu Jinan's faces were better because they applied facial masks. As for Lu Jinan, except for being passive in the beginning, he took the initiative every time he applied the facial mask, which made Yun Yao laugh at him many times.

After finishing training today, Ah San looked at Yun Yao and the other two and said, "Sister-in-law, why did the blush on your faces disappear so quickly?"

Sang Ning cast a look at Ah San and asked, "Who laughed at me that day and said that it was the end of the world, why were you still so conceited about applying a facial mask?"

Ah San was very inspired at this moment, and immediately said: "Did you disappear because of applying a facial mask?!"

Ah San sat down next to Sang Ningsheng, "Sister Ning, can you give me some facial masks? Look at these two spots on my brother's face. They seriously affect my handsomeness!"

Sang Ning and a few others looked at me trying to be funny and started laughing.

"Let go, stop touching me, I don't have much left, this is given to me by Sister Yaoyao!" Sang Ning reached out and slapped away Asan's hand that was around her wrist.

Ah San immediately sat next to Yun Yao, but he didn't dare to get close, let alone hold Yun Yao's hand, "Sister-in-law, please have pity on me~ I can't face people here! And look at Jun Ge and Lei Ge's, they are even uglier!"

Mo Jun and Wang Lei who were Q’d: You are so thoughtful, thank you!

Yun Yao looked at the blush on the faces of several people, which were indeed too red, so she stood up and went to the room to get five boxes of facial masks. "Here, when you run out, find some yourself."

"Okay." Asan held the facial mask and gave one box to Mo Jun and Wang Lei respectively. Then he washed his face, happily tore off a piece and put it on his face.

Sang Ning: "Oh, how come our Indians are also using facial masks? This is not appropriate!"

Ah San was applying a facial mask, and did not refute Sang Ning's sarcasm. Who told her that a few days ago? Now she just had to endure it and it would pass.

Seeing that he ignored her, Sang Ning lost interest and turned around to do her own thing.

After applying the facial mask, the high altitude redness on the three people's faces did fade a little.

"It's really useful. I have to stock up on facial masks in the future. I used to throw away the ones I saw." She said to Mo Jun and Wang Lei while looking in the mirror.

The two of them didn't say anything. They felt a little more comfortable with the mask on their faces, but they were older and not as thick-skinned as Ah San, so they didn't say anything.

After another three days, the silt had dried up and cracked in some places, so people could be seen walking on the silt.

Yun Yao and the others also went down to take a look, but they went in batches. Lu Jinan, Sang Ning and Yun Yao went together, while Mo Jun and the other two stayed behind and waited for the other three to come back before going down.

Of course, Yun Yao and the others would tell the three of them what they saw, but if they were curious and wanted to go down and take a look, no one would stop them.

Yun Yao and the others dressed neatly and rode their bicycles to the villa. The wheels of the bicycles were no longer ordinary rubber ones, but more wear-resistant and high-temperature resistant tires. The few of them usually took good care of these tires. After all, they were currently non-renewable, and one less would be one less.

It is morning now, and you can see pedestrians carrying backpacks on the road. Most of them do not disturb each other and just avoid people when they see them from a distance.

Arriving at the foot of the mountain, Yun Yao found that the thick mud had indeed been dried up. She stepped on it and found that the soil was already hard and she would not sink into it.

"Lu Jinan, Sang Ning, how thick do you think this silt is?"

Not a single bit of the first floor of the residential complex in the distance is visible, and only the second floor can be seen from the outside, which shows how thick the silt is.

"There may be more than four metres under our feet, and there may be more accumulated in low-lying areas."

Looking at the hardened soil, some of the survivors might have hoped to wait until the water receded before looking for usable supplies underwater, but the reality is that it is covered by thick soil. How can they find them?

The only way to find the place that was soaked in water and oil but not covered by mud was to try our luck, but the flood was so severe before that some things in the house had been washed away to who knows where.

In the distance, some buildings in the Xinghewan community had gradually cracked, and the mottled walls were exposed in the places where the water had soaked. Yun Yao and his friends rode their bikes up and turned around twice. The bikes only left shallow wheel marks, and there was no sign of collapse.

"It looks pretty solid, but it's covered in mud. I don't know when we can see the city roads again."

Sang Ning looked at the thick silt piled up under his feet, which covered almost the entire city. No one dared to think of cleaning up the silt.

Because this is a time-consuming and labor-intensive task without compensation, who would do it? No force is willing to be a sucker, so for a long time, this mud will have to accompany the survivors for a long time.

Yun Yao: "Let's go, let's go back. Don't think about these things. Staying alive is the most important thing now. Everything else should come later."

"Yeah, what Sister Yaoyao said makes sense. It turns out that I am too emotional."

"Let's go, go back."

Lu Jinan rode his bicycle up the mountain, and the three of them pushed their bicycle when they encountered a slope. It took much longer to go back than to go out.

Back at the villa on the top of the mountain, Asan rode his bicycle down excitedly, and Mo Jun and Wang Lei hurriedly caught up with him.

Yun Yao sniffed the air and said, "Lu Jinan, the stench in the air is slowly dissipating!"

Sang Ning took a few deep sniffs, his face turning green, "It seems to be a little lighter."

Lu Jinan: "When the water dries up, the taste will naturally fade."

Lu Jinan pulled Yun Yao back and poured her a glass of water. "I've been out for a while. Drink some water."

Sang Ning also came in, drank a glass of water, and rubbed his head against Da Zhuang and Xiaomi, saying, "Well, Da Zhuang and Xiaomi, your cats are not soft these days."
