"On July 22, a heavy rainstorm occurred in the central, north, central and southern parts of Natal, with a single-day rainfall of 667 mm."

"On July 23, the water level of the Weir River rose by 25cm, the largest increase in the water level in nearly a decade."

"From July 25th to 720th, [-] countries including Natal and Weil experienced heavy rain, and [-] three urban areas were affected."

.........

For the next three days, news reports were full of Storm Halma.Storm Halma was an acid rain storm surge that formed over Halma.This landing in Natalville and other places also shows that all 320 countries in the world have acid rain.

"Like a doomsday movie..."

On the morning of July 25th, in Wangjiazhuang Village, Shaanxi Province, Zhao Shunhai was seriously swiping his phone.

Zhao Shunhai is an authentic farmer from Shaanxi Province.The family has five acres of land, and at the beginning of the year they planted acid rain corn in response to the call.Now the corn has grown to the height of a person and is expected to be harvested in September.After scrolling through the news, he clicked on the small video.The video is full of disasters in the polar regions. Watching the video, it is even more tragic than that in the equatorial region.

"Oh." Zhao Shunhai sighed.Halma belongs to the global disaster, and it will not be spared anywhere.

He lives in the village with his wife, who has gone to the city to help her confinement in the past two days, and he is the only one at home.After Zhao Shunhai swiped his phone, he went straight to the kitchen to make porridge.The rice in the kitchen is delicious and full. This is Chengfeng rice sent by his son from the city. He ate it for three days and couldn't get enough of it.

At one o'clock in the afternoon, Zhao Shunhai was satiated and lay down in the aisle shaking his fan.Since the Halma storm, the global temperature has been abnormal. This year, the average daily temperature in Shaanxi Province has reached 38 degrees. He is reluctant to turn on the air conditioner, and has been fanning in the aisle all week.

Zhao Shunhai put on his sunglasses and was about to put it on the radio when the sound of a tractor chug came from the door.He opened the gate, and saw a young man in a vest driving a tractor passing by. The young man was wearing a straw hat, and on the tractor was a rusty water tank.

"Da Liang?" Zhao Shunhai hurriedly called out.The young man's name is Zhao Daliang, and he belongs to the same family as him.

"Uncle Zhao." Zhao Daliang stopped after hearing this.

"Where are you going?" Zhao Shunhai pointed to the tractor and asked.

"Water the ground."

Zhao Shunhai was taken aback: "Is there water?"

Shaanxi Province is a typical loess area. As the temperature rises, many lands become dry and chapped.Although acid rain seeds have certain resistance to water and drought, Shaanxi Province suffers from severe water shortage, and the growth and ear yield of acid rain corn are not as good as those in mountainous and river provinces.The irrigation system in Wangjiazhuang is backward, and they have been waiting for the village brigade to release water to irrigate the fields for the past two months.

"It was broadcast in the morning, and now the reservoir has a lot of people lined up."

Zhao Shunhai didn't care about basking in the sun, so he put on his straw hat and went to the back of the house to untie the donkey cart.This is the old donkey in the family, pulling a rubber bucket behind him, and he has to go back and forth three times every time he waters the ground.

"I'll water the ground first, and if it's all right, I'll pull it for you with a tractor." Zhao Daliang watched Zhao Shunhai's movements.

"Thank you!" Zhao Shunhai thanked him very much.

The rainfall in Wangjiazhuang is low, and the water in the reservoir is usually released from the city.Half an hour later, he drove the donkey cart to the reservoir, and now there are two long queues in the reservoir.

"This water is not filtered. It can only be poured on the ground and cannot be drunk. Don't drink it to your stomach." During the interval of receiving water, the village party secretary held up a horn to remind.

Rainwater is water vapor that rises and turns into raindrops when it cools down. Now the surface ocean is full of acid rain, and the precipitation in the past six months is also some diluted acid water.Strictly speaking, 90% of the country's oceans have been polluted by acid rain, and there is no normal water around the world.

Residents now mainly rely on water filtration equipment to filter water.Longxia's famous filter brand is Hengzhiyuan.Hengzhiyuan has 100 million filtering equipment for enterprises and [-] small filtering equipment for households.Due to the high price, residents can only go to specific places such as village committees and neighborhood committees to wait for water.

Wangjiazhuang will release water for residents on the [-]th of every month, and this time it will release acid water for irrigation.

"Acid water is different from normal water, we can definitely drink it."

"Don't talk about drinking water now, I boil the water for washing my face three times and dry it."

……

Acid water cannot be eaten, but due to the special nature of acid rain seeds, it can be used to irrigate the land.

During this long wait, at [-]:[-], Zhao Shunhai finished receiving the water and left.

His family's cornfield is located on the hillside on the east side of Wangjiazhuang. It takes a long dirt road to get from Wangjiazhuang to the field.Water and soil erosion in Shaanxi Province is serious. There used to be some monotonous green branches, but now after the baptism of Halma, the green branches have become dead branches.He walked on the high slope of the loess, feeling like a doomsday movie.

In the scorching sun, Zhao Shunhai unscrewed the cup and took a sip of water, then tapped the donkey on the head: "Drink the water."

"Lulu—" the donkey made a sound like a donkey and stopped.

Zhao Shunhai got out of the car and took out a stainless steel basin from the back of the car. He poured the remaining water into the basin, and the donkey drank from the basin.

"If you live for a year, you are destined to die." Zhao Shunhai helped the donkey to smooth its hair.

This donkey was raised by my son when he was in junior high school. He is 15 years old this year.Before the acid rain was severe, there was no feed sold in the whole country, so he bought some wheat stalks as feed through his relationship.The donkey barely survived for a year. Compared with some of the meat factory, it is a low-end donkey strong.

After 10 minutes, the donkey finished drinking the water, and he led the donkey to continue on the road.At [-]:[-], one man and one donkey came to the field halfway up the hill.Now the corn stalks have grown to two meters high. These corn stalks are yellow and green, and the obvious lack of water can be seen.

Zhao Shunhai rested by the field for a while, and pulled out an ear of corn.The corn on the ear of corn is not yet fully mature, although it looks crooked, but 80% of the corn kernels are formed.

"very nice."

Zhao Shunhai looked at the ear of corn seriously.He has been planting all his life, and he has encountered the phenomenon of drought and no fringe before, and he is ready for no harvest.But in the past two months, I have run more than a dozen times in the field, and this corn field is a complete surprise.

Zhao Shunhai peeled off the corn one by one and fed it to the donkey, who enjoyed it very much.

He watered the field with a pipe, and when he was about to receive the second water, there was a "chug" sound from the foot of the mountain.

"Uncle Zhao!" Zhao Daliang came up with the tractor.

"Da Liang." Zhao Shunhai was taken aback.Although Zhao Daliang said to help him pull water, but he also has five acres of land, he thought Zhao Daliang was just saying hello, but he didn't expect that he really came...

"I pulled it in the morning, and it was poured quickly."

After Zhao Daliang finished speaking, he got out of the car and helped Zhao Shunhai work.

With the help of Zhao Daliang, the five mu of land was quickly watered.

"I'm going to buy some knuckles, and have dinner at my uncle's house tonight." Zhao Shunhai warmly invited.

"No, I have something to do when I go back." The village's elbow was one hundred and thirty pounds, so he definitely couldn't eat and drink.

The two chatted for a while, Zhao Daliang drove the tractor back, and Zhao Shunhai drove the little donkey home.

……

In the next week, there were still bipolar disaster reports all over the world. After nearly half a month of baptism, on July [-], the Halma storm finally stopped.

"The disaster-affected area of ​​Natal is 723 million square kilometers, and the direct loss is 8 trillion Natal currency. The post-disaster work is going on grimly."

"23 pastures in the city of Welleron were flooded. The herdsmen complained that the government failed to provide early warning of the disaster. Now a large-scale protest of 3 people is erupting..."

"The disaster situation in the bipolar regions is severe, and they may face a sudden economic crisis."

……

This disaster is more serious than imagined.

On July 31, Natal issued an international appeal: [Storm Halma is a catastrophic storm. The number of people affected in Natal is 5000 million. Due to the sudden disaster, international assistance is requested...]

Natal, the country hardest hit by Storm Halma, is asking for human and technical post-disaster assistance this time.

The words of Natal's appeal are sincere, but the world is too busy to take care of itself. At this time, the world is facing a new problem: as the global vegetation is greatly reduced, the temperature is getting higher and higher.

……

"41 degrees, it's hot to play." On August [-], Zhao Shunhai returned to his room with a fan in Wangjiazhuang, Shaanxi Province.

Since the last watering, the temperature in Shaanxi Province has been getting higher and higher.He is used to thrift. In the past, as long as he could enjoy the cool in the corridor, he would never go back to the house to turn on the air conditioner.He has persisted for a month, but as the temperature broke through 41 degrees, he couldn't hold on at all.

Not only is the temperature high in Shaanxi Province, but also a kind of irritating stuffiness and hotness.

He turned on the air conditioner in the house for a while, and then moved the donkey into the aisle.Donkeys are resistant to roughness and drought, but now they are so hot that they collapse on the ground.

Zhao Shunhai rested for a while, feeling really worried, so he made a video call to his wife.

He is 47 this year, and his son Zhao Dafei is 26. He and his daughter-in-law bought a second-hand house in Shan'an City.Now my son delivers express delivery, and my daughter-in-law used to be the manager of the milk tea shop. After she became pregnant and gave birth, she stayed at home for confinement.

"What are you doing?" After 30 seconds, my wife's pear rolls appeared in the video.

"I want to talk to you." Zhao Shunhai said a few words, and asked curiously, "Aren't you at home?"

At this time, my wife is pushing the shopping cart, and there are some toilet paper shelves behind him.

"Come out and buy some paper..." My wife pointed the camera at the shelf.Toilet paper is now available at 61, and the ten packs that used to cost 35 yuan have risen to [-] yuan.

"So expensive?" Zhao Shunhai was taken aback by the price of toilet paper.

"It's not the most expensive." My wife turned to diapers again, and now the cheapest diapers are [-] packs.

"Now the tree is dead and the pasture is not yet ripe. Even if it is ripe, the meat and poultry feed and sanitary products must be used separately..." My wife was talking, and she read all these from the Internet.Now not only in Shan'an City, but also in the whole country, the price of toilet paper is increasing.

Toilet paper is only part of it, this year's clothes are more expensive than last year...

"I'm going shopping first." My wife complained a few words, and then brought three packs of diapers. She complained, and she still had to buy the basic supplies that should be bought.

"Oh." Zhao Shunhai sighed and turned off the video.

Life is better now, but some things are still greatly affected.

"Bang bang!" Zhao Shunhai was stunned for a while, when there was a knock on the door outside.

Zhao Shunhai quickly opened the door.

"Uncle Zhao." Zhao Daliang stood outside the door panting.

"What's wrong?" Zhao Shunhai was taken aback.

"Something happened to the crops."

Zhao Shunhai:! ! !

Zhao Shunhai and Zhao Daliang came to the crop field by tram. Many villagers rushed to the field along the way.There was only one reason for everyone's haste: locusts were found in the field.

Locusts are commonly known as grasshoppers. Anyone who grows crops has seen locusts in the field.Some villagers are greedy for food, and they would grab some grasshoppers and fry them in spring and autumn.It is not scary to find locusts in the ground, what is scary is swarms of locusts.

Half an hour later, Zhao Shunhai stared blankly at his cornfield.At this time, swarms of locusts were flying in the cornfield, and these locusts were floating on the corn stalks.The stalks and leaves of corn were chewed piece by piece.

Zhao Shunhai looked at the corn.

This is corn from the seeds of acid rain, and corn is resistant to drought.But this locust plague of physical damage... seems to be unbearable.
