Chapter 571: Difficult

This is perhaps the largest rainstorm on Earth since the dawn of life, and it is estimated that it can only be surpassed by the heavy rainfall after the first cooling of the primitive Earth billions of years ago.

On the earth, precipitation of more than 100 mm per day is a heavy rainstorm, and more than 250 mm is a heavy rainstorm, and at this time, the amount of precipitation on the earth, not to mention ten times it, the pouring rain is like a splash from the sky, smashing the ice muffled, and over time, the intensity of the rainfall not only did not weaken, but intensified, without the slightest sign of stopping.

The atmosphere inside the cave was a little oppressive, some people were whispering, some people were lying under the covers in a daze, some people were shrunk in the corners and leaned against the wall, listening carefully to the strange movements outside.

The terrifying aura from before made everyone feel uneasy.

Ling Zhong'an half-leaned against the mud wall, silent, the dim grease lamp, swaying slightly, and the jumping firelight made his figure look flickering and dimming.

"How do I smell moisture?" A woman sitting near the stairs suddenly sniffed and said something strange.

"I seem to smell it too, I was still weird just now?" An evolutionary next to him said.

At first, their conversation didn't attract much attention, and no one paid attention to it, everyone was thinking about their own thoughts, but gradually the water vapor became thicker and thicker, and there was even water flowing down the stairs at the end.

Everyone suddenly couldn't stay any longer and stood up one after another.

"It's not going to rain, is it?" One of the evolutionaries looked at the sewage flowing into the cave and said in a daze.

A group of people looked at each other in disbelief, the earth has never rained since it was frozen, not to mention rain, even if it is hail and snow, it is pitiful, at most occasionally it rains a year, each time it is half an hour long, as short as a few minutes, as for the rain, it only exists in everyone's memory.

"Probably not, maybe it's a hot spring erupting nearby?"

Everyone secretly agreed in their hearts that this explanation was more reliable than rain.

However, in just a few words, the water flowing into the cave became more and more, and the amount of water flowing down became larger and larger, and there was a tendency to backfill.

Ling Zhong'an stood up, looked at it in a daze for a while, woke up like a dream, and hurriedly shouted: "I can't stay here, everyone go quickly!" ”

Before he could finish speaking, he rushed to the bed, rolled up a thick stack of animal skins that had been laid on it, and then took the meat hanging from his head to dry in the shade. The rest of the people also reacted one after another, and hurriedly packed their luggage, and the scene was chaotic.

The water on the ground gradually reached the surface of the feet, and the huge water was almost pouring down the stairs, but everyone was desperately packing their bags.

The so-called broken family is worth a thousand dollars, even if it is only a few animal skins, a few dry tubers that can feed their stomachs, it is also a guarantee for their survival, without these, and leave this warm cave, under the severe cold, most of them will not live a day.

The amount of water entering the cave is getting bigger and bigger, almost becoming a flood outlet, and the water level inside is rising rapidly, but fortunately, everyone is an evolutionary, even the weakest, the physical fitness is beyond the limit of ordinary people, even if the cave is filled with water, it will choke on a few mouthfuls of sewage at most, and there is no danger to life.

In fact, it is true, most of the steps of the cave are made of ice, and they are extremely smooth, which would not affect walking in normal times, but now that the flood is pouring in, under the huge impact of the water, the feet cannot bear the force at all, even if the strength is great, it is useless.

A group of people were swept away by the current several times, until the water level filled the cave, and the group managed to surface with their breath in their breath.

Ling Zhong'an, who was in the front, struggled to stand up, and just wanted to say something foul, when he saw the scene in front of him, he opened his mouth, and hurriedly showed a look of disbelief.

The original gray-black ice has turned into a vast ocean.

He stood in the rain in a daze, the pouring rain splashing down from the sky crazily, in a trance.

"Do you feel that this rain is so hot?" An evolutionary spoke suddenly.

Only then did everyone notice that the rain was indeed a little abnormal, in fact, it was not too hot, and the rain of about ten degrees Celsius was still a little cool for people who were normally in the middle of summer, and they were afraid that they would catch a cold after a long time.

But for the survivors who are in an extremely cold environment all year round, even if it is a cave **, and maintains a low temperature of three or four degrees all year round, the temperature of this rain is really hot and abnormal.

But no one thought much about it, since the end of the world, there have been many strange things on the earth, and they have gradually become accustomed to it, not to mention, even if some people have a whim, doubting that the nuclear winter has disappeared in fact, this kind of common sense idea is too much to test everyone's imagination.

Ling Zhong'an came back to his senses, wiped the rain, and was at a loss in his heart, this rain was not only abnormal, but even the temperature was abnormal, the chill in the air seemed to have disappeared, drenched in the heavy rain, there was a feeling of warmth, if it weren't for the cold and smooth texture of the ice under his feet, he doubted whether he had traveled to another world, and the entrance of the cave was turned into a gate of time and space by some force.

"It's good that this is still Earth." He discerned his surroundings, looked at a few familiar dead trees, and the slopes in the distance, and couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

He looked at the meat and a bag of thick animal skins in his hand again, and felt a sense of steadiness in his heart, but as soon as he thought of the current situation, his heart sank, and his face was as solemn as water: "I'm afraid this cave can only be abandoned, once the rain stops, this place will be completely frozen." ”

As soon as the words fell, the atmosphere suddenly became extremely quiet, and everyone's faces were ugly.

One of the evolutionaries broke down and cried, "What a good thing is this, this is forcing us to a dead end!" ”

"For a while, where can we go? How do you spend the night? ”

An evolutionary sat in the water with self-abandonment, smashing the water with a hideous and sad face, with indescribable despair and indignation: "Damn thief, God, you just won't let us have a good time." ”

Even if the rest of the people were silent, their faces were like mourning, and the sorrow in their hearts could not be dissolved.

It's already afternoon, and it's not long before the bitterly cold night, and even if you get to the nearest slope that is not flooded, and then, with the strength of milk, dig a new cave, you will only spend the night in an ice cave. In addition, in this rainy weather, the dead branches have long been full of water, and lighting a fire to keep warm can only be a luxury, and they can only survive a cold night wrapped in soaked animal skins.

"Let's go!" Ling Zhong'an looked at the worn-out mechanical watch in his hand, which he regarded as a treasure, and waved his hand weakly: "Time is running out. ”

"Is life always so hard?" A female evolutionary asked, with an irrepressible expression of deep sadness.

Ling Zhong'an was stunned, and subconsciously blurted out: "It's always like this!" ”
