Chapter 190 Casualties
The acid rain outside is so intense; as soon as it falls, the ground is corroded and riddled with holes.
If this happened to a person, who knows what would happen?
Lin Feng and his group naturally understood the gravity of the matter.
Bai Tang said, "Let's all go back inside. I don't feel at ease being outside."
After saying that, the whole family went back to the living room.
They didn't let Grandpa Gu go back to rest, as they were all afraid something else might happen tonight.
So the whole family stayed in the living room,and Bai Tang even brought out two extra sofas so they could rest if they got sleepy.
Soon the Authorities at base discovered that it was raining acid outside.
They immediately broadcast the message over the base's loudspeaker:
"Attention all residents of the base! It's raining outside, but our tests show it's acid rain."
Please stay indoors and avoid going out to avoid getting wet from the acid rain.
Because we detected a high level of corrosiveness in the acid rain.
It is very harmful to the human body, and the mortality rate is very high once you get wet inacid rain.
To reiterate, please do not go out.
Stay home and avoid acid rain; even after the rain stops, don't go out rashly.
Please wait patiently for our further instructions.
The base acted swiftly, and they now completely believed Huang Qiaomu's words.
The Base Leaders quickly realized what was happening and decided how to handle the situation.
They activated the highest level of defense, putting everyone in the base on high alert.
The people in the base were quickly awakened by the base's broadcast system.
In their dazed state, they heard the base say:Acid rain is harmful.
They couldn't help but feel grateful that they had installed a glass canopy in their home.
Otherwise, they wouldn't know what terrible thing might happen.
Glass is a non-metallic material, and unlike metallic materials, it does not react with acidic substances in acid rain.
Glass has high chemical stability and is not easily corroded by acidic substances.
This is why Bai Tang chose to cover their house with a glass canopy.
Acid rain- resistant glass is the best choice.
Everyone in the base was woken up by the base's loudspeaker.
Those with glass canopies only glanced at the entrance before going back inside.
Since their homes don't have glass canopies, they stay indoors and dare not go out.
They couldn't help but regret why they hadn't listened to others' advice.
They could only pray that the acid rain wouldn't corrode their house.
However, the corrosive effect of acid rain inApocalypse is very high.
Some of the base's roofs without glass canopies were quickly corroded by the constant falling acid rain.
There were still some deaths and injuries in the base.
However, no one at the base dares to go out to rescue people for the time being.
No one is unafraid of this powerful acid rain, let alone cars.
Therefore, the base can only wait for the acid rain to stop before launching a rescue operation.
However, in that case, the chances of saving those corrupted by the acid rain would be very slim.
There's nothing we can do; they just don't believe what the base says.
Some people like to think they're clever, but in the end, they end up hurting themselves.
As Huang Qiaomu and the Base Leaders have said, acid rain comes in bursts.
Therefore, as long as they grasp the time pattern under Acid rain.
Then they can rescue people inside the base.
Outside the base, those small bases that didn't know about the upcoming acid rain were suffering terribly.
Their roof, on which they depended for survival, was quickly corroded by acid rain.
Soon they were drenched in acid rain, and screams of agony filled the air.
But no one came to rescue them; they chose to stay outside The Authorities base themselves.
Shengshi Base once sent people to the city ruins for rescue.
Those people themselves don't come to the base; they can't force others to.
So those people are now facing an unknownacid rain and can only hope for the best.
Acid rain is only falling near the Shengshi Base within China.
Other The Authorities bases are facing their own difficulties.
Huang Qiaomu didn't know these things either, because the satellite phone hadn't been fixed in his previous life.
Therefore, he was unaware of what other bases were facing.
However, the leaders of Shengshi Base already knew that acid rain was coming.
So they subtly hinted at it via satellite phone and other bases.
The leaders of the other bases were also shrewd; they all reacted quickly.
Then they arranged for their base personnel to take various preventative measures in advance.
Therefore, even with various disasters, their casualties were minimized.
Outside of China, their bases were caught off guard by the sudden and unpredictable disaster, resulting in heavy casualties.
The next day arrived quickly, but the Artificial Sun in Shengshi Base did not rise.
Due to the effects of acid rain, the base has decided to temporarily halt the raising of the Artificial Sun.
However, after observing for a night, they discovered the pattern under the acid rain.
Acid rain can last for two hours and then stop for half an hour, but they're not sure if that's a rule.
There are too many uncertainties in this world, so the rescue team members at the base all wore heavy, corrosion-resistant suits.
They carried out rescue operations inside the base, and the streetlights along the base's roads were also covered with glass.
So they shouldn't be forced to advance in the dark.
They moved on when the acid rain stopped for half an hour.
When it starts to rain, they seek shelter at nearby houses.
The base broadcast a message informing residents to be on the lookout for the rescue team knocking on their doors.
The ordinary residents in the base all know that the rescue team is doing it for their own good.
So for several hours after they set out, the rescue team was not refused a single request for shelter from the rain.
Several teams set off at the same time because they were unsure of the basic damage situation at the base.
Therefore, they are willing to risk conducting a thorough search to facilitate taking appropriate action.
The rescue team quickly arrived near Bai Tang's home and began their rescue efforts.
Fortunately, the people in the neighborhood sawBai Tang's family installing a glass canopy early on and started to imitate them.
Therefore, their casualties are the lowest.
They checked the time; it would be half an hour before it started raining again.
Rescue team leader Song Zhuang said, "It's almost time, let's go knock on doors and find a place to take shelter from the rain."
Continue the search; we'll notify you as soon as we find the location.
Song Zhuang knocked on Bai Tang's door, andBai Tang and his family heard the knocking from inside their house.
Soon someone went out to open the door, andBai Jiyang looked at the person in the door wearing heavy protective clothing.
They quickly opened the door and let them in.Bai Tang and the others had also heard the announcement over the base's loudspeaker.
Song Zhuang nodded to Bai Jiyang, then called his teammates over to take shelter from the rain.
When they arrived at Bai Tang's yard, the acid rain started again less than two minutes later.
Gu Yanxu came out of the house and said to Song Zhuang, who had taken off his protective helmet:
"Everyone has worked hard. Would you like to come inside and have a glass of water?"
Song Zhuang shook his head and said, "Thank you for your kindness, but we have rules that prevent us from entering other people's houses."
"We could only take shelter from the rain in the yard, you've already been very kind to let us in."
