"Xiao Jin!"

After entering the library, Xiao Jin found that it was a great place to take refuge temporarily. It was quiet, clean and safe. If nothing unexpected happened, she planned to stay here for the time being.

As soon as the rain stopped and the fool left, she locked the door again.

Tan Dong didn't know that Xiao Jin had already defined him as a fool. At this moment, he was feeling complacent about knowing the name of his savior.

"Xiao Jin, I understand, but what do you mean when you say the police can't take care of this place?" Tan Dong asked.

After finding a place with a good view and close to the stairs, Xiao Jin took off his protective suit and hung it aside to avoid the acid rain on his clothes.

It was damp and hot under the protective suit during the whole journey, and Xiao Jin's hair was all wet with sweat.

Xiao Jin smoothed the loose hair on his forehead, took off his coat and put it under his body, then sat on the ground against the wall.

"Can you check if your cell phone still has signal?"

Unexpectedly, Xiao Jin didn't get any response from Tan Dong after talking for a long time. She looked over in confusion, only to see Tan Dong staring at her straight.

Although Xiao Jin was not wearing protective clothing when he was hiding from the acid rain, he was wearing a mask on his face and a middle-aged man's clothes on the outside, which were not only loose but also shapeless.

At this moment, she entered the library and took off her burden, revealing her delicate face, which caught Tan Dong off guard. Her clear eyebrows were as calm as water, and the whiteness on her neck dazzled his eyes.

Seeing Tan Dong's suddenly flushed face and flickering eyes, Xiao Jin tilted his head in confusion.

"Cough cough cough!" When Tan Dong came to his senses, he was choked by his own saliva.

"You...how could a grown man look like this!

"What?" Xiao Jin asked back.

"Hey! Nothing, nothing." Tan Dong quickly turned her face away, fearing that Xiao Jin would know that he was staring at her in a daze.

Recalling the previous topic, Tan Dong hurriedly took out his mobile phone. After opening it, he immediately forgot what Xiao Jin looked like and his eyes were full of disbelief.

It turned out that just as Xiao Jin said, the signal on the mobile phone had completely disappeared. He tried to call the police but couldn't get through.

"How could this happen!" Dejected, Tan Dong sat down on the ground.

Xiao Jin: "It should be the acid rain that destroyed the signal base station." The concentration of the previous acid rain was not high. Although it had a certain impact on communications, it quickly returned to normal after emergency repairs.

But this time it didn’t work. The buildings outside were severely corroded and the signal tower was not spared.

Not only that, almost all water resources are polluted. All water resources exposed to the air and acid rain are no longer usable. Only sealed bottled water can survive.

Thinking of this, Xiao Jin reminded Tan Dong next to him: "Your wounds need to be washed. Don't use the tap water in the building. Use mineral water."

After saying that, he threw him a tube of ointment.

Tan Dong was not a fool and immediately understood what Xiao Jin meant, but after he understood it, the expression on his face became even uglier.

Even the water is polluted, how can human beings survive!

There are many vending machines in the library, so there is no need to use normal means at this time. Just smash the glass outside. Tan Dong took some mineral water to the bathroom and prepared to treat the wounds caused by acid rain.

After coming out, he sat on the stool with a sour face. He no longer showed any curiosity towards Xiao Jin. Instead, he crossed his arms and seemed to be thinking about something.

The silence lasted until the rain stopped.

Although the entire city had lost power, the clock hanging in the library was still ticking away, the hour hand stopped at 8 o'clock, and it was pitch black and silent outside.

In the dim library, the figure cosplaying as the stone statue finally moved. It seemed that because he had maintained the same posture for a long time, Tan Dong's body shook when he stood up.

He twisted his stiff joints and turned to look in the direction where Xiao Jin was sitting. As it was too dark around, Tan Dong could only see a rough outline.

The quiet atmosphere was broken.

"The rain has stopped, I plan to go home!" Tan Dong's voice was a little hoarse.

After a while, the silhouette hummed.

Tan Dong took a deep breath and said, "Thank you for saving me. I will repay you..." He paused again and said, "If you have nowhere to go, you can follow me."

Xiao Jin didn't answer, but Tan Dong understood.

"I'm leaving, be careful." After saying that, Tan Dong left the library. On a seat not far away, a protective suit was neatly folded.

Xiao Jin opened his eyes and stared at the chair for a long time.

……

The tragic situation after this acid rain exceeded the Chinese government's expectations.

Even though preparations had been made in advance, many people still died, and many ongoing projects suffered losses of varying degrees.

However, these difficulties did not stop the government, but instead continued to accelerate the integration of various resources.

This time, the residents of China changed their previous reluctant attitude and became super cooperative with a series of announcements issued by the government. Can property and human rights be more important than staying alive?

While domestic disaster preparations are in full swing, people abroad are suffering.

Before, they laughed at the Chinese government for making a big deal out of nothing, but after the acid rain yesterday afternoon, such voices disappeared completely.

Compared with China, which suffered casualties despite being prepared, the situation abroad is extremely tragic.

Countless corpses were lying on the once bustling streets and pedestrian streets. The bodies corroded by acid rain emitted an indescribable stench, and the crowds and trampled the fallen people into a pool of mud.

The foreign governments that reacted were deeply regretful. While comforting the wounded, they quickly stopped exporting domestic materials to China.

After all, this acid rain has caused crop failure. If we continue to sell domestic resources abroad, does that mean the entire nation will starve together?

When the person in charge of the order suddenly regretted and terminated the contract, the Chinese government did not reprimand or force them to do so. It decided to stop while it was going well. They were already eye-catching enough.

But don't even think about getting a penny less in compensation for breach of contract. When signing the contract, the Chinese person in charge was very careful and didn't ask for foreign exchange. Instead, he asked for various scarce acid-resistant materials.

After all, the raw materials of some materials are only available abroad.

When the foreign leaders saw that the Chinese government did not want money, they thought the Chinese government was stupid. Now he is the stupid one.

After much persuasion, the foreign person in charge almost rolled on the ground, and finally reduced the amount of liquidated damages by 30%.

The Chinese government also agreed. After all, these materials are really needed in the country. What if they push the other party too hard and they shamelessly refuse to give them?

……

After Tan Dong left, Xiao Jin locked the door outside the library as he had planned.

Returning to the corner where she had just rested, Xiao Jin found a single tent from the space and set it up there. She placed a moisture-proof mat at the bottom, and an inflatable mattress on top, with a blanket and pillow on the mattress.

A camping lantern is hung on the top of the tent, illuminating the small space.
