Chapter Seventy-Three: The Rainstorm
() When the two returned to the breached door of the mall, a cool wind was rushing in from the destroyed doorway like a wave.
It was still afternoon, but it was already a little dark.
Du Jiujiu could smell the smell of dirt mixed with the damp wind, which was a precursor to a torrential rain.
"The weather can change no matter how you say it." Du Jiujiu put down the rice on his shoulder, walked out of the door and looked up at the dark clouds in the sky.
"Looks like it's really going to rain, Jiujiu, are we still leaving?" Hu Xiaoyun frowned, and subconsciously tightened the clothes on his body.
"Let's go back, otherwise An Cheng and Qingqing will definitely be in a hurry. It looks like it's going to take a while for the rain to pick up, so we should be able to walk faster. ”
"Okay." Hu Xiaoyun nodded when he heard this, the supermarket is only a little more than a thousand meters away from the subway station. If they speed up a bit, with the physical strength of the two of them, they should be able to walk in less than half an hour.
Before leaving, Du Jiujiu did not forget to re-block the gate she had destroyed.
Although there are so many supplies in the supermarket, she doesn't mind letting others take some, but after experiencing these people and things, she also understands that some people's greed has no bottom line, and she doesn't want to trust others easily, not to mention that there are many long-coveted mutant animals around the mall.
Du Jiujiu effortlessly cut down a large tree of suitable thickness with a long knife, and inserted the trunk into the large hole in the doorway.
Looking at the blocked gate, Du Jiujiu nodded with satisfaction, and then relieved himself, picked up the rice again and turned to leave.
No matter how many times you see it, these endless greenery are still shocking.
The wind blew through the gaps in the blades of grass, making a "whining" sound. The branches and leaves of the trees overhead were also shaken by the blowing.
Under the blowing of the wind, these green plants are turned into sharp blades, and the skin will be cut if you are not careful.
The journey was slower than expected. Halfway through them, the clouds were thick as if they were about to fall at any moment.
Not long after, Du Jiujiu felt a large drop of rain fall on her. Immediately afterward, dense raindrops fell one after another from the cloudy sky.
Although Du Jiujiu's body was no longer afraid of the chill of the rain, the mist caused by the torrential rain had sharply reduced her field of vision, which made the already dangerous journey even more dangerous.
"Sister Xiaoyun, let's go where to avoid it first!" In order not to let the sound be muffled by the noisy rain, Du Jiujiu also had to raise his voice.
"Where are we going?!" Hu Xiaoyun also shouted loudly, and there was a subtle tremor in her voice.
I don't know if the ability will also be restrained, when the rain poured on his body, Hu Xiaoyun actually felt that the operation of the energy in his body became a little sluggish.
Then, the warmth brought to her by those energies also dissipated a lot.
If it weren't for the physical fitness bonus brought to her by the ability, Hu Xiaoyun would just be an ordinary girl, and she really wouldn't be able to last long in such a storm.
Du Jiujiu also seemed to have noticed that something was wrong with Hu Xiaoyun, and immediately took the backpack on Hu Xiaoyun's shoulder and carried it cross-body on his chest.
"Come with me, there's a row of stores not far from here, let's go there!"
This is the first rain since the end of the world, and it does not look like the spring rain in the past.
It was so violent and so unexpected, it was as if even God was going to make things worse for these struggling people.
It only took a few minutes to rush all the way to breaking down the roller shutter door of the nearest shop to unlock it and rush into the room.
However, in just a few minutes, Du Jiujiu and Hu Xiaoyun's bodies were already soaked. The cold rain slowly trickled down the strands of hair that were sticking to their faces.
was in such a hurry that Du Jiujiu didn't even look at the plaque of this shop.
At this time, he put down the big bag and small bag in his hand, and Du Jiujiu had time to look at the surrounding environment.
In this small space, there are six dining tables neatly arranged, and on the other side of the room, there is a small kitchen and bathroom.
When he saw a lattice on the wall that could be used to hold all kinds of vegetables and meat, Du Jiujiu suddenly remembered that this was probably the self-selected Malatang restaurant at the entrance of the school.
At the beginning of the school year, she used to eat with her roommates, but because she didn't like the taste of it, she never came here again.
After checking around and finding no danger, Du Jiujiu was slightly relieved.
She walked to Hu Xiaoyun's side, looking at Hu Xiaoyun's pale face and slightly trembling body, Du Jiujiu couldn't help but feel a little worried.
"Sister Xiaoyun, what's wrong with you? Is your face so ugly? ”
"It's okay, the rainstorm outside just now seems to have had some impact on the fire attribute ability in my body, but now it's much better, and the operation of energy is slowly returning to smoothness."
The cold rain made Hu Xiaoyun's teeth tremble a little, she sat on the chair next to the table, held the ** long hair tightly attached to her neck in her hand, and squeezed the rain inside.
"It looks like the rain won't stop for a while, and I'm afraid I'm going to spend the night here tonight." Du Jiujiu looked at the ** tables and chairs in the store, and smiled helplessly.
Knowing this, they might as well stay in the supermarket, at least without rain, and the environment is better.
However, the only thing to be thankful for is that the mountaineering bags selected by Du Jiujiu are all waterproof materials, and even the outer layer of the rice bag has a layer of plastic packaging, so that the materials they worked hard to bring back are not soaked by the rain, and the food tonight is still very sufficient.
"Ahh Ahh Hu Xiaoyun looked a little cold, and sneezed several times in succession.
"Sister Xiaoyun, let's start a fire, the current viruses and bacteria are not very powerful, if you catch a cold, it will be bad. Can you still let out flames? Seeing that the sky outside was gradually getting darker, and the temperature inside the house was also dropping, Du Jiujiu began to worry about Hu Xiaoyun's body.
"That's fine, but I'm worried that the firelight will attract strange beasts......" Hu Xiaoyun frowned as he looked at the transparent glass door.
"It's okay, I'm here! What's more, if there is a strange beast to sneak attack, it is even more dangerous if we can't see it! Du Jiujiu smiled comfortingly.
"That's good." Hu Xiaoyun raised her right hand, but in just a few breaths, a flame with red light jumped on her fingertips.
