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

Liao Yunyun opened the company group and found that the number of group messages in a group of only about 499 people had reached +, and there was even a trend of increasing. On average, someone sent a message every few seconds.

[How could it suddenly rain acid rain? This is too sudden. The temperature has only dropped for a few days. God is really playing tricks on us. Can't he give us a little more time to catch our breath? ]

[That's right, there's no time to even survive, it's strong acid rain! ]

[Luckily, our company's working hours are 2:30 p.m., and most people live in nearby communities. If you live far away, if you encounter acid rain on the road at 1:30 p.m. or just after leaving home, the consequences are simply unimaginable.]

Minister Chen: [All colleagues are informed that the rain is getting heavier and there are strong acids in the rain, so the working hours need to be readjusted after the meeting of the superior department and other arrangements will be made. We also hope that everyone will stay at home as much as possible to avoid accidental injuries when going out.]

[Ah, I have to extend my return time indefinitely again. God, I haven’t received any salary for more than a month, and my family still needs to eat and drink.]

[It's the same for everyone. My family has been eating porridge and pickles since last week. Our living conditions are really difficult.]

[Come on, everyone is having a hard time now, but think about it, at least we are still a company, okay? Those companies that couldn't continue to operate have already been dissolved, and those in the outer circle who can only live in collective dormitories are even worse off, aren't we at the end of our rope yet? Let's see what the weather will be like in the future.]

[Well, I think it’s pretty good to be able to save a life. In the homeowner group here, several families asked for help. It seems that someone went out at noon, but he hasn’t come back yet, and he can’t be contacted. I don’t know if it’s...]

[I just went to the balcony to save the dried cucumbers I had dried before, and the back of my hand was splashed by rain. There is still a small mark left, you can see. 】【Picture JPG】

[Fuck, are you more unlucky than me? I am disabled now. I thought it was normal rain. I put the basin outside and filled it with water. I accidentally slipped and it splashed on the back of my foot. There are blisters all over it. Fuck, fuck, fuck, it hurts me. Fortunately, my wife works in the health center and gave me a temporary first aid bandage, otherwise my leg would really be useless. ]

[Oh my god, are you okay now? You really have a good wife. What if you are alone at home? ]

[Hahaha, so I’m lucky. I’ve already promised my wife that I will hand over all of last month’s salary in the future…]

[…Well done, you are a role model for men of my generation. ]

[I don't want to talk anymore. Someone please help me. I'm trapped in the supply and marketing cooperative. I wanted to go buy something at noon, but it turned out to be acid rain. I just walked a few dozen meters and found that my umbrella had been burned through several holes. 】【Picture JPG】

[Oh my god, so cruel, is there no car at the supply and marketing cooperative that can take you back? ]

[People who live nearby all came here by bicycle. My friend and I are now trapped here, along with two other staff members.]

【But at least food and drink won't be a problem at the supply and marketing cooperative. 】

[It’s not a problem, but it’s not free… I only have over a thousand points left on my Taimo card, and things are expensive right now. I just looked around, and if I have to stay here for several days in the future, I should at least buy a pair of underwear. Can you believe it? A pair of men’s underwear costs a hundred points. I remember I only had less than thirty before, so I don’t know how many days I can survive on my card. If there’s no other way, sisters, please crowdfund, and I’ll pay you back when I get my salary…]

When Liao Yunyun saw this message, she couldn't help but laugh out loud, and quickly replied to the message. [No need for that, isn't this our colleague who is in trouble? If you really have no money, just tag everyone and I'll give you a hundred in support.]

The colleague was immediately moved and replied, "Yunyun, thank you very much. You really made me feel the love of colleagues."

[If you say something so disgusting again, I will withdraw my message. It gives me goosebumps.]

[Hey, Yunyun is single and has no pressure, but I have a wife and kids so I can’t help you. But I will support you with 30 points, and you don’t have to pay it back. Next time I’m too busy with work, remember to help.]

Perhaps the joking atmosphere infected others, and everyone in the group immediately came to support. Even Minister Chen, who had just sent the work message, said that if the employee really had difficulties, he was willing to support him with 200 points.

Liao Yunyun left the work group and went to look at several chat groups she had joined before. They were all residents nearby who she met by chance, but there were also a small number of people with special abilities.

[It's over. The rain is getting heavier and the wind is getting stronger. I live on the seventh floor and my balcony is wet. If I had known earlier, I shouldn't have saved the thousand points and installed a glass door.]

[I live on the second floor and I don’t have a balcony, but something seems to be wrong with my sewer system. The toilet is leaking, and I’m really worried.]

[The person above, the water leakage in your toilet should have nothing to do with the acid rain. It may be a problem with the sewer pipe. And don't worry too much. Although it is acid rain now, the rainwater should not enter the water pipe. ]

[Ah, then I don't know. I thought it was rain water pouring in, ahahaha. ]

[My balcony door has been corroded, it’s a wooden door, help! ]

[I also have a wooden door. If it rains harder, I'm worried that the wood will be carbonized by strong acid.]

[What should we do? If the rain doesn’t stop, the wooden door will corrode sooner or later.]

[Don't panic, acid rain doesn't corrode wood immediately, it takes some time. During this period, we can try to put something on the door panel temporarily, or observe whether the weather changes. Don't panic.]

Liao Yunyun bit her lip and shared her trick of using a plastic basin to temporarily block the strong acid in the group.

[I use a plastic wash basin, and I haven't found any corrosion yet. Plastic should have a certain degree of corrosion resistance to strong acids.]

[Washbasin? I have an iron basin at home, so it probably won’t work…]

[I used plastic bottles, beverage bottles that my family bought before, and some that my old lady picked up from the trash can. There were about 70 or 80 of them. I strung these bottles together to make a simple enclosure, hoping it would hold up for a while.]

[I am a glass door, it seems not to be corroded. ]

[My house is undergoing interior decoration, and there are still a lot of plastic pipes left. I temporarily used them to make door curtains. I also used tiles to make a one-meter-high enclosure. It shouldn't be a big problem.]

All kinds of tips have been used in the group. If you don’t have the materials at home, you can only close the doors and windows tightly to prevent rain from splashing into the room.

Liao Yunyun sent a message to Gu Tongwan, and joked that she had no washbasin to use these days.

Gu Tongwan [Do you have any buckets or water storage containers at home? ]

Liao Yunyun [What do you mean? Wait, are you saying that acid rain will pollute groundwater? ]

Gu Tongwan [It's not impossible, so we should prepare in advance, while the rain is not too heavy. ]

Because after acid rain falls on the surface, people drink acidified surface water and groundwater with high metal content that seeps from the soil, and eat acidified lakes. Some heavy metal elements gradually accumulate through the food chain and enter the human body, eventually causing harm to the human body. If the subsequent acid rain lasts longer, the groundwater is likely to be polluted. Although the base should find a way to stop the spread of such situations, Gu Tongwan still thinks it is better to take precautions before it happens.

Liao Yunyun [I have two water buckets in my toilet. I bought a few large water buckets because I was worried about water outages. I will fill them up now.]

Gu Tongwangang [You don't need to worry too much. The base should have corresponding measures. After all, the water source issue is the top priority. However, I estimate that there will be a period of water restriction. ]

If the groundwater is really affected at that time, it will be necessary to strengthen groundwater purification. The water plant will probably be burdened with increased pressure, and water use will definitely be restricted at that time.

Gu Tongwan was standing at the window on the second floor and looking down. The puddles that had formed in the yard were now spreading in other directions.

When the house was first built, Gu Tongwangang specially asked Liu Jinde and several villagers who were building the house to dig a few more drainage ditches in the yard, for fear that the yard would be flooded when there was a heavy rain in the future.

The current situation in the yard seems to be okay. There is no large-scale water accumulation, but there is obvious fleeting white smoke in the puddles.

Gu Tongwan clasped his hands across his chest, his clear watery eyes reflecting the rain and fog outside. He stood by the window, giving people an inaccessible and distant feeling.

Yan Fan was standing nearby with a cup in his hand. He was too embarrassed to disturb them for a while, so he could only put a cup of honey lemon water that he had made in the kitchen on the coffee table.

Sitting next to the TV, Aoao yawned loudly out of boredom, and seemed like he was still a little sleepy.

Tutu beside the sofa is practicing his supernatural powers. Fluctuations of supernatural powers can be seen in his claws, but they are not threatening. It is more like he is practicing his control and concentration over his supernatural powers.

Yan Fan couldn't help but smack his lips when he saw the two giant dogs that were so human-like. When their owner forced them to do so, the two dogs were as obedient as large pet dogs. However, once their owner was not around, the two dogs would become a bit of a bully and would often pounce on Yan Fan. Several times, Yan Fan was so scared that he almost used his supernatural powers to fight back.

When I talked about this with Gu Tongwan afterwards, Gu Tongwan just said lightly: "They were probably just playing with you. If they really wanted to attack you, you would have lost your arms and legs by now. You should be grateful that I let you feed them snacks during this period of time. They are more or less accepting of you, otherwise they would not play with you."

Yan Fan choked up on the spot. These two giant dogs were easily over two meters tall when they stood up, their bite force was comparable to that of a Siberian tiger, and their claw strength was comparable to that of a black bear. Is it possible for ordinary people to "play with" them?

Although he complained in his heart, Yan Fan actually found that as he played this dodging game with Aoao and Tutu more and more times, his agility seemed to have improved. Sometimes even if he didn't look back, he could intuitively feel that something was coming towards him, and he could even quickly make a move to resist.

This acid rain lasted from 1:30 p.m. to 4 p.m., and the rain not only showed no signs of abating, but became heavier instead. The radio loudspeakers in the base still stubbornly insisted on broadcasting the latest notices in the acid rain.

[Dear residents of the base, an emergency notice is being broadcast. A large area of ​​acid rain has occurred in Jiangcheng today. The pH value of the acid rain has reached about 0 degrees. Please do not go out to work or play. If the acid rain has already invaded the living environment, please use all anti-corrosion materials as much as possible to temporarily deal with it. Currently, the common anti-corrosion materials are: glass, most plastic products, ceramics...]

Similar broadcasts were heard throughout the base. Fortunately, when the base was first built, the loudspeakers were covered with a layer of special glass material, so they would not be easily damaged or corroded even in heavy rain or strong acid rain. Therefore, the broadcasts would repeat similar content about every half an hour.

Gu Tongwan sat on the sofa, looking at the continuous moderate rain outside, and then saw that there seemed to be some creature struggling in the rain in an embarrassed posture.

It was a mutant giant rat weighing about three or four pounds. I don't know if it ran from the sewer to the street because the weather was good recently, trying to find food in public trash cans. However, it was at a loss after encountering acid rain and wanted to take the risk of running back to the sewer. However, it rolled on the ground in pain due to the corrosion of the strong acid rain and lost the ability to judge the direction.

Under the corrosion of strong acid rain, all living things will disappear little by little, even humans. The current pH value of this acid rain is around 0 degrees, which is already in the range of strong acid rain. If the pH value continues to drop, it is very likely that most of the buildings in the base will be destroyed.

However, Gu Tongwan was not worried that her small building would be corroded by acid rain. In the early stage of the construction of the building, she applied a layer of anti-corrosion paint on the roof, and the roofing material was also covered with a special new type of ceramic material. This new type of corrosion-resistant material was specially ordered at the building materials factory, and it even cost nearly one million yuan in material fees at the time.

The reason why a huge amount of money was spent to purchase these materials was to prevent the severe corrosion caused by acid rain. Unexpectedly, these materials would actually come in handy in the base today.

I thought this acid rain would continue until night, but the rain gradually subsided around five o'clock. At five forty-five, the rain finally stopped. The only thing on the whole street was a trickle of water constantly pouring into the rain grates on both sides.
