Chapter 191 Acid Rain Etching
As soon as you step out of The Nineteenth Institute, a pungent, putrid stench hits you, flooding your nostrils like a tidal wave.
The pungent smell was unbearable, as if it were emanating from a mixture of countless rotting objects.
Almost simultaneously, everyone instinctively covered their noses and involuntarily stepped back.
Their faces turned pale, their brows furrowed, their lips pressed tightly together, as they struggled to suppress the urge to vomit.
Some people couldn't help but gag, their stomachs churning and they felt extremely uncomfortable.
The sky was overcast and rainy, as if the whole world was immersed in darkness.
Fine raindrops fell from the gray clouds, whipped by the gale, and lashed against the windows and walls.
These raindrops, seemingly eager to uncover the secrets of The Nineteenth Institute, slipped through narrow gaps and into this mysterious place.
The Nineteenth Institute is filled with an old-fashioned atmosphere; the wooden tabletops have lost their original luster due to the erosion of time.
Meanwhile, rainwater was dripping from the window cracks onto the table, forming puddles of black water stains.
These water stains, like black brand marks, are deeply imprinted on the tabletop and cannot be wiped away.
The atmosphere at the Nineteenth Institute was particularly heavy. The rain continued to fall relentlessly, leaving more black marks on the table.
"What is this?" Chen Haohua looked curiously at the black holes, her hand unconsciously reaching for the remaining liquid.
This smell... acid rain? A bad thought crept intoYu Miaomiao's mind.
She quickly turned her gaze to the window; the sky outside had turned gloomy, and a pungent, acidic smell filled the air.
Acid rain! This word filled Yu Miaomiao with fear.
She knew that acid rain would have a serious impact on the environment and living organisms, and now it had appeared in the place where she lived.
Yu Miaomiao's heart began to pound. She didn't know how long the acid rain would last, or how much damage it would cause to the surrounding area.
In my previous life, I also experienced acid rain, a highly corrosive liquid that could penetrate the ground in just two or three days, forcing all underground bases to relocate.
She was at a ground base at the time, and she was lucky enough to survive by finding a sports hall with a glass canopy. However, due to the need to survive, her exposed skin was often burned by corrosive liquids when she went out to find supplies.
However, this smell is a mixture of many different scents, and it doesn't feel like the kind from my previous life; it's not just simple acid rain.
If, as Lin Xiaoyue and others have suggested, this world is merely another parallel universe, then the potential disasters would also be different.
Yu Miaomiao felt a headache coming on and didn't want to think about anything at The Nineteenth Institute.
The immediate problem is that they all managed to escape The Nineteenth Institute, but are now trapped at the gate with nowhere to go.
" Strong acid rain." Ye Jian could already detect several different acidic smells with just a light sniff.
"Listen up, everyone, don't touch any of the liquid here." Chu Bai gave the order immediately, but it was too late; Chen Haohua's hand had already touched the remaining liquid.
"ah..."
With a scream, Chen Haohua's palm was immediately corroded, bright red blood mixed with acidic liquid, and Chen Haohua felt excruciating pain.
The pain was excruciating, causing him to tremble all over. Fortunately, the burns were not extensive, with only a few fingers exposed to the corrosive liquid.
"Don't move, team doctor!" Chu Bai shouted, supporting Chen Haohua, who was writhing in pain.
A girl carrying a huge medical kit ran quickly from the end of the line.
Little Girl looked to be in her mid-twenties. She was petite but surprisingly strong. The huge medical kit was half her height, yet she carried it on her back with ease and could run quickly with light steps.
After glancing at the rotting skin, he immediately opened the first-aid kit and prepared to begin treatment.
Yu Miaomiao and Ye Jian also stepped in to help; in this situation, it is necessary to immediately rinse with plenty of clean water.
" Anan, hurry up, rinse his wound with water." After hearing Yu Miaomiao's words, Lu Animmediately understood.
A large amount of running water gushed from Lu An's hand, rinsing Chen Haohua's palm for "at least 20 minutes, until no acidic substances remain."
The little girl pressed the timer and kept observing the affected area.
Rinsing with water helps dilute and wash away the strong acid, reducing further damage to the skin.
Fortunately, Chen Haohua's wounds were not large, but even though only a few fingers were injured, the state of skin corrosion was still horrifying.
It's hard to imagine what a terrible state it would be if a person's body were burned over a large area.
The once smooth skin has become unrecognizable and horribly disfigured; the once beautiful face is gone, leaving only hideous scars and incomplete facial features.
The person looked as if they had been burned to a crisp, with no intact skin left, making them a truly horrifying sight.
However, they probably wouldn't survive that way either.
It is currently impossible to determine which acidic liquids are present in the liquid, so neutralization cannot be performed; only rinsing with plenty of water is possible.
Chen Haohua's face grew paler and paler, but she still gritted her teeth and persevered. Apart from the low gasps she made when she clenched her teeth in pain, she made no other sound.
He was a tough soldier who had experienced countless life-or-death situations.
He never flinched when facing enemy artillery fire and hail of bullets;
He once carried out a mission in harsh conditions, but he persevered through it all.
He endured the pain of losing his comrades and continued on his way.
Every difficulty tested his will, but he always held fast to his beliefs and responsibilities.
This time, he will not be defeated either; he will overcome all difficulties with his perseverance and courage.
This once again proves his value as a tough soldier!
After rinsing, Chen Haohua's complexion improved slightly, but before he could catch his breath, the military doctor began applying anti-inflammatory ointment to the affected area.
The pain from the friction brought tears to his eyes. "Gently...wait a minute, let me catch my breath."
The military doctor glanced at Chen Haohua, but did not slow down his movements.
"Just bear with it, it will be over soon."
As she spoke, her hands did not slow down at all, but she gently scratched the back of Chen Haohua's hand.
It was as if they wanted to scratch away all his pain.
That slight itch was like a gentle breeze across a lake, slowly neutralizing Chen Haohua's pain.
Chen Haohua felt the slight itch on the back of his hand, and his tense nerves gradually relaxed.
This tingling, numb sensation was like a gentle spring rain, nourishing his parched soul.
His brows gradually relaxed, and the corners of his mouth unconsciously turned up.
