Chapter 4: The Rain Curtain
The strong wind from the dragon wing swept away most of the black dust in the air, and saw the dragon fly into the sky, seeing that the strong wind was about to hit his face, Luo Qi's body paused slightly, and finally completely withdrew his body into the corridor. [Ran^Text^Library] []
Standing among the ruins on the edge of the crater, undevastated by the aftermath, the surface of the school building was full of cracks, shaking in the strong wind.
Stepping back to the wall behind him, Luo Qi crouched down with his back against the wall.
He shrunk back and wrapped his hands tightly around his knees.
His face was pale and fearful, and his body trembled.
The black dust in the air outside the window began to thicken again.
Staring straight ahead, the cracked walls under the window, Luo Qi didn't know how long she could hold out.
The only thing he knew was that the world was over.
In the clear blue sky, the deafening thunder continued.
The rain poured down without warning.
Heavy rain washed away the coke dust and pungent toxic gases in the air, and a large amount of rainwater poured into the cracks in the ground.
Rainwater flowed into the molten slurry, producing a thick white vapor.
The steam cooled rapidly in the continuous rain, and the still-warm fog began to envelop everything in the ruins.
Outside the window, where the sound of rain kept coming, it was already white.
Luo Qi, who had been curled up in the corner, her heart full of despair and fear, pursed her chapped lips.
It's been almost a day.
In fact, Luo Qi has been squatting in the corner for nearly twenty-nine hours.
Empty stomach and abdomen, constant cramps.
Luo Qiqiang endured the discomfort and pain in his stomach, but his consciousness became clearer than usual.
There was no more hustle and bustle in my ears, and the whole building was unusually silent in the clear sound of rain.
Have the people in the building been evacuated?
Don't go again.
Luo Qi supported the ground with his hands and slowly stood up.
He curled up in the corner and sat for a long time.
Now that he is together, he feels that his body is stiff and numb, and his limbs are itchy like a swarm of ants devouring his heart.
"Maybe it's too late."
Luo Qi smiled wryly, shook his limbs, and stepped on the spot a few times.
When the stiffness began to subside slightly, Luo Qi staggered to the stairs downstairs.
The corridor was white and misty, and the visibility was very low, and Luo Qi, who was walking on the stairs at this time, could only see the range of two meters in front of him.
Luo Qi walked very slowly at first, but gradually increased his pace.
Survival is the instinct of every animal.
Even if Luo Qi is still in the grief of losing her family, she can't resist the fear of death.
As soon as he got down two floors, Luo Qi heard bursts of sobbing in the corridor between the classrooms.
Not everyone is gone.
Sighing slightly in his heart, Luo Qi didn't stop and walked down the stairs quickly.
During the process of going downstairs, Luo Qi kept her head down, trying not to look at the cracks in the surrounding walls.
But even so, he could see the brick fragments falling at his feet from time to time.
It won't last long.
The fear in her heart lingered, and Luo Qi gradually ran up the stairs.
He ran to the ground floor of the school building and finally met his classmates.
Most of the people in the entire school building are now staying in the narrow corridor at the bottom of the building.
On both sides of the corridor, outside the one-meter-high low walls, you can see continuous rain and white mist.
Luo Qi stood on the platform and looked at the six people standing in front of the last stone staircase with some surprise.
Six people, four men and two women.
Three of the six turned their heads to look at Luo Qi, and at the same time looked away.
Of the other three, two were fiddling with their phones, and one was sitting with his head bowed by the low wall on the left side of the narrow passage.
Unable to identify the six people not far away, Luo Qi swallowed his saliva and tried his best to suppress the breath in his mouth.
Once his breathing had calmed a little, he immediately walked down the stairs.
Luo Qi first walked up to a boy wearing a black and white striped school uniform and was almost the same height as himself, and asked in a low voice, "Hello, what's wrong here?" ”
Hearing this, the boy frowned and shook his head at him.
"I don't know, I don't know anything right now."
The boy bit his lower lip and turned anxiously to face a girl who was fiddling with her phone and was also wearing a school uniform.
"Du Li, is there a signal?"
The girl named Du Li, who had been fiddling with her mobile phone, shook her head.
"No, no signal."
Du Li suddenly raised her head and looked eagerly at the boy who was asking her questions.
"Tianying, my phone is going to run out of battery, do you have a power bank?"
"No, I don't."
Zhao Tianying put her hand into her trouser pocket, rummaged in vain, and then turned her head to the side again.
He looked at Luo Qi with a look of anticipation.
"Brother, do you have a power bank?"
Hearing this, Luo Qi calmly put his right hand into his trouser pocket.
In Zhao Tianying's expectant gaze, Luo Qi took out his mobile phone.
He held the classic version of "Apple" and shook it in front of Zhao Tianying's face.
"There is no power bank."
"I want to borrow your phone, do you want it?"
Zhao Tianying's eyes widened, and she couldn't help but look at Luo Qi who was holding an apple in her hand and looked serious.
He was silent for a moment, then decisively moved his head to another person next to him.
"Yuan Gang, do you have a power bank?"
Li Yuangang wore a pair of steel-framed glasses, and his round face was slightly dull and dull.
He glanced at Zhao Tianying with a strange gaze, and then shook his head.
"I don't even have a mobile phone, so it's useful to ask for a power bank!"
Li Yuangang's tone was heavy and his voice was hoarse.
He walked to the wall and crouched down against it.
Seeing Li Yuangang squatting in the corner, Zhao Tianying turned her head to another girl in a school uniform.
The girl was fiddling with a cell phone.
"Ruoyu?"
Meeting Zhao Tianying's gaze, Xu Ruoyu raised her head.
She looked at Zhao Tianying helplessly and lifted the mobile phone with a black screen.
"My phone is long dead."
Xu Ruoyu puffed out her cheeks and tilted her head.
On the pink and fair face of melon seeds, the bright red lips are pursed, and the appearance is very beautiful and cute.
Everywhere, beautiful women always attract the attention of others the most.
However, at this time, Zhao Tianying was not in the mood to appreciate cute things.
He quickly turned his head and looked at Du Li.
Du Li has put down the phone with a black screen.
Her eyes filled with tears when she looked at Zhao Tianying.
"Don't cry, don't cry."
Zhao Tianying walked quickly to Du Li's side, stretched out her hand to pat the other party's weak shoulder, and comforted her softly.
"It's going to be fine, everything is going to be fine."
Luo Qi looked at Du Li, who kept wiping the tears from the corners of her eyes with the back of her hand, and Zhao Tianying, who held Du Li's shoulders and comforted her.
He put the "apple" back in his trouser pocket, and then turned his head to look at Xu Ruoyu, who had walked to the corner of the wall and squatted beside Li Yuangang, wrapping his hands around his knees, and then walked forward.
In the white fog in front of him, many figures could be faintly seen.
Luo Qi walked in the crowd with a cold face.
Someone is crying, someone is fiddling with their phones.
Some people squatted on the ground, others looked at the heavy rain.
Some people know, some don't.
Luo Qi didn't go to greet his acquaintances, he walked to the gap in the wall of the long corridor.
This is the place where the most people gather, so it is particularly dense.
Many people here are staring at the white mist in the rain.
Luo Qi stopped and frowned.
He noticed that the teachers in the school building seemed to be all gathered here, so he swallowed in fear.
He craned his neck and peered into the silence of the crowd for a moment.
Luo Qi saw a person, and his face showed a touch of joy.
He let out a cry.
"Old Wu!"
Hearing this, standing in front of the stone staircase at the edge of the road, Lecturer Wu, who was frowning and staring at the rain curtain, widened his eyes, and turned his head after a long time.
His eyes searched for the source of the sound and saw Luo Qi.
He frowned slightly, his face puzzled.
"Are you ......?"
Facing Lecturer Wu's puzzled gaze, Luo Qi puffed up his chest and swaggered into the crowd.
