I have been sleeping for 500 years and I opened a supermarket in the end times
Chapter 8 Rain (Transition Chapter)
"Walk slowly without sending."
After watching Jin Yi and Yao Xue leave, Ji Yan closed the door and took out the laser sword from the "Thousand Gold Gift Pack" to inspect it carefully.
She was very concerned about how this (10/10) laser sword was different from the time-limited laser swords she had used before.
And what about the laser swords in the store? Are they this (10/10) style?
Look left, look right, look up and down.
This laser sword has no major differences in appearance from a time-limited laser sword, except for an energy box inside the hilt that requires energy to activate, and a value bar that shows the amount of energy.
Ji Yan took out a nuclear battery and installed it, then pressed a switch. An 80-centimeter-long, water-blue laser emitted from the hilt of the sword.
"After buying a car tomorrow, go down and find some zombies to practice with."
Ji Yan stared at the laser sword in his hand and muttered to himself.
The night was long and she had no mood to sleep, and she couldn't find anything else to do, so she just stared at the turned on laser sword and counted silently in her heart.
One, two, three, four... 13,458, 13,459... 599,764, 599,765...
When she counted to 648,000, she suddenly heard a loud thunder in the sky.
Her eardrums were aching and she quickly covered her ears. Then, there was the sound of dripping rain coming from the roof and the open space outside.
The sound of rain became louder and louder, gradually turning into the sound of a "clattering" rainstorm.
"Strange, we could see a lot of stars last night! That means it should be a sunny day today, why is it raining before dawn?"
Ji Yan released her hands from covering her ears and thought for a moment, "Maybe after more than 500 years, the ecological environment on the Blue and White Star has changed?"
"Or is there something special about this rain?"
She went to the kitchen and took the empty pot off the stove.
Open the door, put the empty pot on the smooth floor of the supermarket, and kick it lightly with your foot.
The empty pot was moved smoothly to the open space outside that was being drenched by the heavy rain.
Ji Yan stood at the door where she would not be splashed by the falling rain, looking at the shallow layer of agitated water at the bottom of the pot.
“There doesn’t seem to be anything strange.”
Ji Yan touched his chin.
That being said, she had no intention of taking the pot back in the rain.
Let's wait until the rain stops, she thought.
The door slowly closed again.
……
This is the first global heavy rain to hit this devastated planet since midsummer and the end of the world.
Of course, people living in many small and medium-sized bases in this city in Yue Province of the Daxia Alliance are unaware of this.
After all, they were experiencing a heavy rain shower at the moment, and without any satellite information coming in, how could they know that at this moment, every inch of land and every area on the blue and white planet was being washed away by heavy rain.
On a hot summer day, there was a downpour, accompanied by howling winds, and the heat was swept away.
However, the drainage systems in some bases are not yet complete. For example, at the Chenfeng base, the accumulated water on the cement road is almost submerged to the ankles of pedestrians.
There were also some unlucky people who didn't bring umbrellas. They were soaked by the heavy rain and ran home in a mess or found a place to shelter from the rain.
Fortunately, today I used Jin Yi’s space to bring back the food hidden outside the base.
Looking at the continuous heavy rain outside through the glass window, Yao Xue felt a little fortunate at this moment.
"Mom, you and Xiaoxia should go to bed early!"
Yao Xue turned around and smiled at Yao's mother, speaking softly.
"Hey, Xuezai, you guys should also go to bed early!" Yao's mother urged, then hugged Fang Xia beside her and coaxed her to sleep gently.
"Grandma Yao, Auntie Yao." Xiaoxia blinked her big watery eyes, her tone full of confusion, "Why is it raining so hard today? I have never seen such heavy rain since I was a child!"
"When God is sad, it will rain. He is very, very sad now, so it is raining so hard. When he is happy, the rain will stop..."
After a lot of talking, Yao's mother finally coaxed Xiaoxia to sleep.
Yao Xue quietly went downstairs, carefully walked around the flooded hall, and came to the kitchen.
In the kitchen, Fang Fei was changing her own dressing. The powder sprinkled on the wound was the trauma medicine given by Jin Yi, and the bandage was the hemostatic bandage bought from 001 Supermarket.
"Let me do it."
Fang Fei didn't hesitate. Yao Xue chatted with her while changing her dressing.
"Today's rain is really heavy. Xiaoxia just said that this is the heaviest rain she has ever seen since she was a child..."
"This is also the heaviest rain we have ever seen since we were young." Fang Fei continued her words worriedly.
"Yes."
The two couldn't help but think of the history they had learned.
According to historical records, humanity's fourth global war took place 200 years ago.
The rapid development of science and technology has caused this war to be faster, more brutal, and more focused on... a quick victory than the previous three world wars.
The massive use of nuclear weapons has led to the extinction of many countries on the blue and white planet. As a result, many areas have become nuclear pollution disaster areas, and the radiation levels are still seriously exceeded.
However, the war still lasted for three months, until the first wave of mutant beasts advanced from the contaminated area all the way to human settlements, and people woke up and turned their attention to these mutant beasts.
Under the suppression of firepower from modern thermal weapons, the battle between alien beasts and humans finally ended with human victory.
With the help of modern technology, humans have taken advantage of the victory and completely eliminated some extremely dangerous beasts, leaving only some beasts that are less harmful and easy for humans to domesticate, such as mutant chickens, mutant ducks, mutant cats, mutant dogs and the like.
Monsters like the mutated bloodworm, which only suck a small amount of animal blood and do not spread any disease, have an astonishing reproduction rate and can be killed with ordinary salt water of 20% or above. They are less harmful monsters and are widely loved by people because of their delicious taste and various cooking methods. They have even become a popular food ingredient around the world.
After getting rid of the strange beasts, the human alliance organization absorbed and integrated again and was divided into four major alliances, namely: the Daxia Alliance in East Continent, the Daqi Alliance in West Continent, the Dalang Alliance in South Continent, and the Dayang Alliance in North Continent.
An agreement was signed between the alliances to return to the planet in peace.
This peaceful situation lasted only 199 years.
One year ago, when the Dalang Alliance and the Dayang Alliance declared war, the plants in the nuclear contaminated area also mutated and quickly spread and grew towards the human territory.
Mutated plants are much more difficult to deal with than mutated animals. Not only do they have special resistances (different plants have different resistances), tenacious vitality, and rapid reproduction, they also form a delicate and balanced ecological relationship with mutated animals.
Wherever mutant plants appear, there will be groups of mutant animals appearing.
Fortunately, some humans underwent genetic mutation 20 years ago and gained unprecedented abilities, which people called "superpowers."
Crystals also appeared in the bodies of mutant animals and plants, and superpowers could use them to enhance their superpowers. People named this crystal "crystal core".
The war between the Dalang Alliance and the Dayang Alliance also ended in nothing.
Because five days ago, one of the world's largest "dead" volcanoes located in the center of the Great North Ocean suddenly erupted.
The smoke and dust raised by the volcanic eruption blocked the sun's rays for an entire hour.
Since previous tests proved that this volcano was just a dead volcano, the people of the entire Dayang Alliance were completely unprepared. The entire North Continent was directly destroyed in this powerful volcanic eruption and sank to the bottom of the sea.
While people were shocked that the power of a volcanic eruption was comparable to that of an asteroid hitting the earth, an unknown virus spread among the crowd within an hour when the sun was blocked.
It is not known what the source is.
Yao Xue and Fang Fei only knew that the virus came very suddenly and spread very quickly.
People infected with the virus will slowly lose their perception of pain, touch, and vision in just ten minutes, and their sense of smell and hearing will be greatly enhanced, at a speed a little faster than ordinary people. They will become monsters that can only eat human flesh and blood, and people call them zombies.
According to statistics, after the outbreak of the zombie virus, the global population dropped sharply from 27 billion to 1 billion. It is estimated that the number of people directly infected with the virus in the first batch (airborne transmission) should be no less than 20 billion.
So people jokingly call it "the end of the world is coming."
Zombies evolve by eating human flesh and blood. The first round of viruses were transmitted through the air, and the only ways of transmission after that were through scratches or bites from zombies, or by accidentally eating zombie blood or zombie body parts.
Only fire can completely destroy it, after all, it is still a carbon-based organism.
There are also crystal cores in the bodies of zombies, but unlike animals and plants, they cannot currently provide any help to those with special abilities.
But many scientists are actively studying its functions, so the crystal cores of zombies are usually purchased by psychics from large bases.
Many ordinary people are helpless in the face of mutated animals and plants, but for zombies that are only slightly faster and have no vision, people who exercise regularly or participate in emergency training can still cope with them (as long as they are not trapped in a tide of zombies).
Therefore, zombie cores are currently the most common commodity in small bases, alongside food (food is more popular).
This may be because a large number of humans have turned into early zombies, and because the alliance has previously established bases to deal with mutated animals and plants, there are also bases spontaneously established by groups or individuals in the private sector due to the outbreak of the zombie virus.
Therefore, the highest level of evolution that zombies can achieve at present will not exceed the giant zombie that Yao Xue and her friends encountered the day before yesterday, which was capable of mental attacks.
However, the biggest trouble caused by the huge number of zombies to each base is that supplies cannot be transported by land (except for some people with special abilities), and the population cannot move between bases.
Large bases are not bad, as most scholars, scientists and people with special abilities live in large bases and have abundant resources.
When the doomsday came, although there was chaos for a while, with the suppression of the troops' firepower and the help of the psychics, the infected were quickly eliminated.
The current lives of people in large bases are not much different from their lives before the end of the world, except for the sadness of losing their relatives and friends and the need to organize search teams to search for supplies.
Some small and medium-sized bases of official organizations or consortiums are also relatively stable at present, and are working hard to build signal towers to connect with large bases.
The situation of privately established small bases is very miserable. They receive less official support, are established in a very short time, and have limited supplies.
The entire base is like an isolated island, but there is no shortage of factional struggles within the base.
Chenfeng Base is the most typical example.
Its founder was the patriarch of a clan with a population of more than 300 people.
Although a small base was established in just one day.
However, its resource control and administrative management are not very good, and some outsiders even fall into prostitution. The southern area, where most outsiders live, has gradually become a hidden synonym for "red light district".
The conflicts between clan members and outsiders are becoming more and more serious, and will eventually explode.
Yao Xue and Fang Fei have never given up the idea of leaving this corrupt base since the establishment of their 7th team.
