Reborn in the end of the world, I scavenged in the empty city and bought for free

Cai Min's mother was about to go out to collect clothes in the house, but before she reached the yard, she found that the father and daughter, who should still be in the orchard, rushed into the house as if running for their lives. Cai Min even almost knocked the old lady over.

"Xiao Min, how old are you, kid? Why are you still so careless? Can you please pay attention to the road?" Cai Kang's wife was so angry that her eyes were as big as bells. She couldn't help but scold her daughter for her recklessness.

Cai Kang felt a terrible pain in his arm, so he took off his shirt in the living room without thinking twice, which stunned Cai Gong who was still chewing a cucumber.

It’s not that Cai Gong had never seen the old man shirtless, but the way Cai Kang took off his clothes looked like he wanted to peel off a layer of skin.

Cai Kang's wife was stunned for a moment, shaking her head, unable to bear to watch. She heard the sound of rain outside, and thinking that there were still clothes in the yard, she raised her foot to walk out, but was pulled back by Cai Kang. She staggered and almost fell.

First, she was nearly knocked down by her daughter, and then she was pushed by her own husband. Cai Kang's wife was so angry that she almost had a fit.

Then I heard Cai Min yelling, "Mom, don't go out, this is not ordinary rain!"

When Cai Min's husband heard this, he immediately stood up, pushed up his glasses, and looked at Cai Min in surprise: "Is this acid rain?"

Cai Min's face was still pale at this time. She was afraid that the acid rain would hit her while she was running. The last time it hit her sneakers, she could clearly see a faint yellowish mark on her sneakers.

Cai Kang, who had already taken off his clothes, saw a very obvious slight burn mark on his arm, a bit like the burn caused by accidentally splashing oil on the skin while cooking.

There was a very obvious burn mark on the arm of the piece of clothing that Cai Kang took off and threw on the ground.

At this time, the rain was getting heavier, and one could feel the sound of soybean-sized raindrops hitting the eaves. After a while, Cai Min's husband turned around and came out of the kitchen with two tiles in his hand. They were some of the leftover materials from the previous construction of the toilet.

"Zhang Yuan, what are you doing?" Cai Min held her husband's hand, and when she saw that he seemed to be about to go out, she was so scared that she quickly grabbed his hand.

Zhang Yuan explained: "If the rain continues to intensify, the water in the yard will flow down to our first floor. Just in case, I will fix the threshold."

"Our threshold is made of cement, so it shouldn't be a problem, right?"

Cai Min stared at the threshold of her house, which was about thirty meters high, and couldn't help muttering.

Zhang Yuan patiently explained: "It's better to take precautions before it happens. I'll put another layer of tiles inside. These tiles are for laying the floor. It just so happens that these two tiles are still in the toilet. Each tile is 50 centimeters high. There's also half a bag of cement and lime in the toilet. Cai Gong and I will check if there are any other places in the house that may be leaking. We also need to take a close look at the second floor ceiling."

Cai's mother couldn't help but praise: "Zhang Yuan is the one who thinks things through carefully." After saying that, she turned around and took out the medicine box in the living room, which contained half a tube of burn ointment that was more than two years old.

When the Cai family moved from the neighboring city to Jiangcheng, they didn't bring many clothes and belongings, but they brought all the medicines at home. Cai's mother knew that medicines were the most scarce in the end times. In such an environment, let alone going to the hospital, a common cold might develop into a more serious disease without medicine.

Even the burn ointment that only cost a few dollars before the end of the world was extremely precious to an ordinary family.

At this time, the rain outside had turned into moderate rain, and the rain was flowing down the eaves onto the ground, but the Cai family was not happy because they saw with their own eyes that the clothes drying in the yard had turned into a piece of rag under the constant rain, and the washbasin in the corner that was originally placed to hold rainwater was constantly emitting white smoke.

This acid rain reminded the Cai family of an incident two years ago when, on a certain evening, an acid rain struck the blue planet without warning. According to the results of the acid rain investigation at that time, the concentration of the acid rain was lower than PH1, and even approached 0 or a negative number at one point, but in fact it was infinitely close to sulfuric acid with a molar concentration of about 18.

Cai Gong took a deep breath and felt thankful that he had a day off today to rest at home. Otherwise, if he had been out on a mission in the field and encountered such acid rain in the next two days, he didn't know whether he would be able to find a place to take shelter in time.

Cai Min was so scared that she crossed her arms and said with lingering fear: "Fortunately we ran fast, if we were a little later..."

As the sound of raindrops gradually became clearer in her ears, Cai Min shuddered violently.

If it was any later, she and her father might not have been able to return home safely.

——The outer circle of Jiangcheng base.

It was 1:45 in the afternoon, the time for most people to have lunch. Near a block in the outer circle, it was excessively quiet at this time. Perhaps it was because the extremely hot weather had formed a fixed biological clock, so even in the afternoon, everyone was still asleep.

Of course, there are also people who don’t take a lunch break because they are too excited.

A few impatient young men in the block were squatting on the ground playing cards, muttering some meaningless words. Even if someone passed by occasionally, they would quickly walk away.

These people are notoriously difficult to mess with in this area. Although they are a group of low-level psychics who have just awakened recently, they were arrogant and domineering before awakening. In addition, relying on their awakened status, they usually bully people nearby who they don't like.

One of them, a man named Ma Bo, is the leader of the group. Jire used to be a porter in a certain company. Because he awakened power, it is easy for him to find physical work.

Ma Bo, with a cigarette in his mouth, played a spade king, but was caught by the opponent's little devil. He immediately said angrily: "Damn it, you are hiding something, but it turns out you have another little devil in your hand."

Another man with a crew cut named Qin Qi laughed and slowly collected the compressed biscuits placed on the side.

These people like to make bets when playing cards. Since they haven't had any income for a while, they don't have many points left in their brand names. They can only secretly take out a little dry food from home, such as compressed biscuits, a small bag of flour or rice, and if all else fails, they can even use clothes as gambling money.

Ma Bo was not a man who would suffer a loss. It was simply impossible for him to give up the little food in his home. He took back his portion of compressed biscuits from Qin Qi's hand almost rudely, and started to take off his coarse cloth shirt that was bleached by washing.

"Wait, I can't give you the cookies, so I'll give you this instead."

The clothes mixed with the stinky body odor and sweat smell hit Qin Qi in the face. Although Qin Qi was disgusted in his heart, he did not dare to quarrel with Ma Bo at this time. After all, Qin Qi's F-level ability was just an acceleration that was not very useful. It was called acceleration, but it was just a little faster than ordinary people. When the power exploded to the extreme, it could be comparable to an Olympic champion.

It's just an F-level ability, it's really useless...

Qin Qi couldn't help but complain in his heart, it would be great if the level of the ability could be raised to A-level. It is said that the highest level of speed ability currently announced by Blue Star is A-level. When this A-level speedster uses his ability, he can run at a speed comparable to that of a high-speed train. If he evolves to S-level, I wonder if he will be able to leave an afterimage like "Quicksilver" in the Avengers?

No matter what you think, it is undeniable that Ma Bo has the hottest temper among them, but he is also the best at fighting. When he gets angry and beats someone up, he can be really ruthless.

As the guys were playing cards and bragging, Qin Qi couldn't help but look up at the dark sky. It felt like the black cloud in the sky was going to fall anytime, and the feeling of uneasiness in his heart was getting stronger and stronger. He couldn't help but say to the guys, "It looks like it's going to rain heavily soon, why don't we go home today?"

Ma Bo immediately frowned upon hearing this, and glared at Qin Qi fiercely: "You bastard, you are not thinking of running away after getting some benefits, you can't afford to lose, right?"

"Brother Ma, look at what you said. I just remembered that there are still clothes on the balcony that I haven't collected yet."

Qin Qi didn't dare to provoke Ma Bo, so he had to explain with a wronged look on his face.

Another person nearby also felt that the weather, which was good just now, had suddenly become gloomy, and his heart was beating fast. Moreover, he could occasionally see one or two people in the street just now, but now it felt like they were the only ones left in this place. He felt a little uneasy, so he couldn't help but persuade him: "Brother Ma, I think it is indeed about to rain. Why don't we wait until the rain stops before continuing?"

Ma Bo still felt resentful that Qin Qi had won the hand against him, so he wanted to win it back, so he pointed to the shop opposite.

"Let's move to another place. Even if it rains heavily there, we won't get wet." As he said this, he suddenly stood up, spit out the cigarette butt that was about to end in his mouth, and stepped on it hard.

Qin Qi wanted to say something else, but he saw the other two companions winking at him. While Ma Bo was walking in front, another one whispered, "Okay, just go along with Ma Bo. If he doesn't want to, he'll beat you to a pulp. Why bother? He just wants to beat you up now."

"But it's going to rain..." Qin Qi hesitated. He was scared when he saw the sky now.

The friend sneered, "Are you worried about heavy rain? If it rains, it will. How old are you? Are you afraid of rain? Wouldn't it be embarrassing to tell others about it?"

Qin Qi was dragged to the awning of the shop in front. The awning was made of tent cloth, so it would not leak even if it rained heavily. However, Qin Qi was still absent-minded. While playing cards, he kept observing the clouds that were lower than before.

Ma Bo won two games in a row against Qin Qi, and his mood seemed to have improved a lot, so he stopped paying attention to Qin Qi.

At this moment, a strong wind suddenly blew at the corner of the street, making several nearby awnings and billboards rustle.

It happened that three people were playing Landlord at that time. Qin Qi lied that he wanted to pee and simply moved away from them.

It was unknown whether Ma Bo saw through his thoughts or not, because he shouted from behind with a half-smile: "Qin Qi, I'll give you five minutes. We're almost done with this round. Don't even think about running away when we play another one."

The corner of Qin Qi's mouth twitched, and he cursed Ma Bo's ancestors in his heart. But as he walked, he came to another shop next to him. The eaves of this shop were wider, and it seemed that the second floor was an extended balcony, about one meter wide. Qin Qi was about to continue walking forward when he suddenly found a raindrop falling on the open space in front of him. In less than a few seconds, raindrops the size of soybeans began to fall one after another.

"It's really raining?" A cry of surprise came from Ma Bo, who was more than ten meters away, and then a "crackling" sound of knocking was heard from the awning.

"Qin Qi, come here, kid. Why are you hiding so far away? It's just a little rain. Why are you so nervous?" Ma Bo laughed over there, and the contempt in his eyes was almost too much to hide.

Qin Qigang raised his foot and walked forward, but suddenly found that a plastic bag on the ground in front of him gradually showed signs of burns under the raindrops as big as beans.

Can raindrops burn through ordinary plastic bags?

"Zi La"

The next moment, Qin Qi's eyes suddenly widened, because he saw with his own eyes that the plastic bag was gradually dissolved under the constant washing of rain, and even produced a pungent smell. The smell was hard to describe, and it made him feel uncomfortable to breathe, so Qin Qi subconsciously took a step back.

But as the rain became heavier, some of the rain even splashed onto the backs of Qin Qi's feet in his slippers.

Suddenly, a piercing burning sensation made Qin Qi step back abruptly, until his back was pressed tightly against the door panel of the shop behind him.

"Something's wrong. Be careful. This rain is not right!" Qin Qi's voice trembled uncontrollably with fear, and he looked with horror at his companions who were still on the awning on the other side.

"Qin Qi, what the hell did you see in the middle of the day? Why are you yelling about nothing? It's not like you've seen rain before, so why are you so excited?"

Qin Qi pointed at the rain on the ground that had gradually gathered into whirlpools. His voice was no longer controllable. Even if he wanted to explain clearly that this rain would be corrosive, at this moment he could only hug himself tightly and pray to God that the rain would end quickly.

Ma Bo sneered and cursed, "You useless fellow, you got so scared by the rain, don't you want to continue playing cards?"

Another person who usually has a good relationship with Ma Bo also agreed with a smile: Nine out of ten times, you are worried that you will lose everything to you, but I heard that Qin Qi recently sold his bicycle, so he should have some money.

"I know, that's why I asked him to come out and play cards. Otherwise, do you think I'm idle?" Ma Bo laughed softly, raised his head to look at the sky, and made a gesture in the direction of Qin Qi. The meaning was obvious, he was going to settle the score with Qin Qi.

Originally Ma Bo was shirtless, but now he tilted his head and adjusted his posture, looking ferocious.

Qin Qi shouted desperately: "Don't come over, this rain can't come over!"

But it was too late. Ma Bo only gave a sinister laugh and then rushed into the rain.

At the same time, a scream made the originally deserted neighborhood seem even more terrifying.
