Chapter 4: Meteor Shower

The next day, although the sky was bright, it was overcast outside, and the black rain had not stopped. The whole world was gray, and the air was filled with a pungent rancid stench.

"Damn, this rain doesn't stop, people have to suffocate." Liu Xing didn't sleep all night, the room was too hot and uncomfortable.

"It seems that you have to modify the air conditioner, Liu Xing, you go burn some carbon, and I will dismantle the air conditioner." Zhuge Qiang put on a raincoat and quickly ran to the studio to get tools.

Fortunately, the tree cut down the day before yesterday was not lost, Liu Xing put on a raincoat and hugged a few branches and rushed into the old kitchen, this old kitchen was built when his grandmother was there, and the old man likes to burn wood for cooking.

After a long time, the two of them renovated the air conditioner, and now the room is much cooler, and there is no need to wear a gas mask, which finally solves a big problem.

This unknown black rain lasted for two whole days, and the whole world was in a state of confusion, but fortunately, Liu Xing and they were well prepared and had nothing to lose.

On the third day, the rain finally stopped, and the pungent smell of decay was still in the air. In the yard, except for the vegetables in the greenhouse, the other plants are dead on the surface.

"The rain is too pungent, so let's pour it down the drain first." Liu Xing put on a gas mask and cleaned up the yard with Zhuge Qiang.

"Today I want to go to the community hospital." Hu Die hasn't gone out for the past two days, and he doesn't know what he's doing when he's huddled in the room?

"You stay here first, and Liu Xing and I will go outside first to see the situation." Zhuge Qiang said worriedly, after two consecutive days of poisonous rain, it is estimated that it is very chaotic outside.

"Yes, Hu Die, you wait first, let's go." Liu Xing picked up an iron rod and walked out of the door with Zhuge Qiang.

The alleys were still lush and green, but now the leaves are basically dead, and the walls on both sides are also corroded to potholes, and the most unbearable thing is the dark red rain traces, like dry blood stains, which make people sick to their stomachs when they look at it.

The two of them stepped on the dead branches and leaves, and walked quickly through the alley, the situation on the road was similar to that of the alley, and the trees that were originally lush had basically withered. The pavement is littered with dead branches and leaves, and the sidewalks are littered with spilled billboards and exterior tiles. There were very few people on the road, wearing masks and weapons in their hands, looking nervous, and everyone was in danger.

"Someone has already robbed the store." Liu Xing saw that the doors of several nearby convenience stores had been smashed, and the goods inside were scattered all over the ground.

"It's not good, let's take a look." Zhuge Qiang clenched the iron rod in his hand, a little nervous in his heart.

I met several waves of people on the road, and everyone was more vigilant and did not talk.

"Look, the supermarket is still protected by the police. It doesn't seem too messy. Liu Xing pointed to the supermarket and said. This Tianheng supermarket is the largest supermarket in the neighborhood.

I saw a long queue in front of the supermarket, and some police officers were maintaining order.

"You also need to register with your ID card to buy things, and you can't buy more, it seems that you are afraid of robbing food." Zhuge Qiang said.

"Let's go back, it's not too chaotic outside, wait until I send Hu Die to the community hospital." Liu Xing said.

The two turned back home.

"It's not peaceful out there now, we'll take you to the community hospital." Liu Xing said.

"Okay," Hu Die didn't object. Her expression is indifferent, which is in great contrast to her previous lively and playful personality.

"Put on this bulletproof suit." Zhuge Qiang took out three sets of bulletproof suits made some time ago.

Liu Xing took it and put it on his body, now it is a mess outside, and the most safety precautions are not too much.

"Thank you, this dress is in the way, don't worry, I'm a lot stronger than you think." Hu Die politely refused.

Zhuge Qiang was not reluctant, in the past few days, Hu Die has shown a strength that is far beyond ordinary people. Not afraid of black rain and not afraid of poisonous gas. The main reason is that Hu Die is from the Xiuzhen sect, and his strength is bottomless.

Community hospital, front lawn packed with people.

"Don't worry, all masks are free." On a row of long tables on the front lawn, a doctor stood with an electric horn and shouted loudly.

"It seems that the situation is more serious than imagined. Then I'll go to work first and see you after work. Hu Die frowned and said, many people around him showed symptoms of vomiting, and some people had large areas of red and swollen skin.

"Goodbye." Liu Xing and the others replied.

"It is estimated that there will be a lot of serious patients in large hospitals." Zhuge Qiang said.

"It's just that those children and old people are suffering. Damn my God. Liu Xing couldn't help but scold.

In the next week, the spiritual rain and the poisonous rain came alternately two days apart, all the water, electricity and gas communications were cut off, and the plants and trees were even more wonderful.

The situation outside is getting more and more chaotic, and many people start to smash and grab everything useful. Hu Die and Liu Xing have not gone to work anymore, they cultivate when it rains, and rest when it rains poison. Compared to the chaotic world outside, this small courtyard seems to be a paradise.

On the weekend, it was a sunny day. Clear skies and clear skies. The three of them sat in the courtyard and chatted.

"It's a rare good weather!" Zhuge Qiang stretched.

"Hu Die, how long can our food last?" Liu Xing asked, now Hu Die is not at work, in charge of food. There is now a great shortage of food in the city. Food from outside can't come in, and millions of people in the city have to eat every day.

"It's going to last for a month." Hu Die thought for a while and said. Don't worry about the vegetables, the vegetables in the vegetable greenhouse have been watered with spiritual rain, and you can't eat them every day, and the lettuce has mutated again, and the taste is getting better and better.

"I just can't buy meat." Zhuge Qiang said with a bitter face, for foodies, there is no meat and no joy. Now the currency is depreciating very much, and meat food is priceless and marketable.

The three of them were chatting when suddenly the sky turned white. After the dazzling white light, everyone looked up at the sky curiously at the same time. It didn't take long for a dense crowd of meteors to appear in the sky.

"It's spectacular! Or the first time I saw a meteor during the day. Liu Xing said excitedly.

"There's something strange about these meteors!" Hu Die stared at the meteors in the sky and said.

"The sky suddenly lit up just now, and it is estimated that a nuclear bomb is blowing up a meteorite." Zhuge Qiang said speculatively.

"Then go inside and hide." Liu Xing said a little nervously.

"Hehe, most meteors burn up in the atmosphere, even if they do. Our house can't withstand the impact. What is there to hide. Zhuge Qiang said with a laugh.

Within a few minutes, meteors hit the ground, and many meteors smashed into the city, and for a while the explosions continued, and thick smoke billowed in the city.

Liu Xing and they were lucky, a few meteorites crossed their heads and landed on the back mountain.

"Why don't you go up the mountain and look for meteorites?" Zhuge Qiang asked. He is still curious about meteorites, and maybe he can study something when he gets them back.

"There is danger in the mountains, and the animals have begun to mutate lately, and the rats have become two or three times larger." Liu Xing said. There were rats in the yard, and a few days ago he saw a few oversized rats, which were more than 20 centimeters long, and they were not afraid of people at all, even if they drove it, they couldn't leave, and they squeaked at people.

"We have bulletproof suits, what are we afraid of, meteorites are rare things. Hu Die, what do you mean? Zhuge Qiang's eyes lit up.

"I'm okay with that, just go and check it out. Anyway, I haven't been out for a few days, and I'm so bored! "Hu Die's community hospital closed a few days ago. There were so many rioters that many people grabbed medicines, so that doctors were afraid to go to work.

"Then get ready and go." Zhuge Qiang hurriedly went to get the body armor.
