Chapter 58: Boiling Rain
Anton betrayed us
After listening to Catherine's narration, the poem finally came up with the answer. Shihan leaned back against the wall, with a little exhaustion on his face, stopped the dirty cloth in his hand, put away the long sword, looked up at the two who were talking in a low voice, and asked, "What are your plans now?" ”
Now, after Anton killed his former companions and betrayed Utopia, he broke the last string of tension in everyone's hearts, and the utopia camp was completely disintegrated, and only a few people who still had a trace of luck still followed Catherine's side, hoping to get shelter.
Most people don't actually know where to go, and it's safer to stay around these powerful people, at least most of the people who stay have the same thoughts.
"I don't know" Catherine's eyes were a little confused, and she whispered without thinking, "Before, utopia was my qiē, but now that it is gone, I don't know what to do, maybe continue to wander the city, maybe leave, or build a new camp." ”
"What about you?" Catherine looked up at Shihan, her gaze shifted to the right, and finally landed on Li Xin: "Did you originally plan to leave this city?"
"It's dying" Yayun bit her lip and looked at Li Xin, hoping to wait for the other party's answer, but unfortunately Li Xin always maintained a state of rest and did not say a word. "Maybe we'll leave, or stay and figure out how to save ourselves," she said uncertainly. ”
As soon as the words fell, there was a loud bang in the sky, followed by the sound of things falling. The survivors who were resting raised their heads one after another, looked out of the broken window, and suddenly saw the rain falling from the sky, and what was even more incredible was that it was still scorching outside, and now it was actually raining heavily.
The pouring rain poured into the house through the cracks in the windows, and the hungry and thirsty survivors, like desert travelers, got up excitedly, rushed to the window, put their hands out of the window, and used all means to catch the rain and moisten their dry throats.
The rain was heavy, and I felt like I was rising from the window for a long time.
As soon as someone poked his hand out of the window, there was a sudden scream, and he quickly stretched his hand back, and several other survivors who were splashed by the rain also screamed in horror, trying to stay away from the hot rain, and the window was suddenly in chaos.
Shihan walked up, stared at the place where the rain had been splashed just now, wiped the water droplets on it, gently rubbed his somewhat red arm twice, and said, "I didn't expect the rain falling from the sky to be hot, and it has reached the point where it has warmed up to the point of boiling, which is really an incredible thing." ”
"In this world, no matter what happens, it's not a strange thing" Yayun quickly regained her composure, after all, this is no longer the familiar star she used to be. With the previous case of Heixue, and the terrifying things like one after another, everyone's nerves have become a lot thicker unconsciously.
The scorching rain did not deter the hungry survivors, and the odd means of bringing out cups and bottles, or taking off their clothes to wash them under the rainstorm and waiting for the water to cool off their clothes, were not used in all sorts of strange weapons, and such opportunities to replenish water were rare under the scorching sun.
After a while, someone brought a water bottle to Li Xin and the others, it was said that it was contained in a bucket, Li Xin took a sip, and handed the bottle to the others after drinking the water, until the person in the bottle drank it all. Everyone feels that there is a strange smell in the water, but as long as it does not affect the body at this time, everyone can't care too much.
Outside the streets, there was a layer of mist, and nothing could be heard except the sound of the rain, and no other creatures were expected to wander in the hot rain.
The survivors who had taken refuge in the sun under the building had to move inside the group, having previously avoided the scorching heat, but now with another rain. Catherine organized the group to use chairs to plug the gaps in the windows to prevent the hot smoke from drifting into the conference room hall where they were hiding.
"The temperature has risen a lot, it's like boiling a frog," and when she finished her work, Catherine returned to the group, muttering and complaining as she took off her rain-soaked clothes and was emitting white smoke.
"Sitting down quietly and resting for a while will help you relieve your irritability." Yayun closed her eyes and muttered, "Unless you can find a basement to hide, perhaps, it will be more comfortable in it." ”
"Forget it, I don't really like to be around rotten corpses." Catherine muttered, and she sent someone to search the basement of the building, opening the eerie dusty door, which was full of dirt and corpses, and some of the living people had been hiding in the building after the incident, and they had not been able to get supplies, and had turned into piles of scrawny skeletons. Now, the entire basement floor is filled with an unbearable stench.
"In that case, then shut up and save some body." The poem came out of nowhere, holding a few small bowls in his hand and handing them to everyone. Li Xin took it suspiciously, glanced at the bowl, a bowl of hot soup, he took a sip, except for the slight smell of blood, he couldn't taste anything else. There was obviously twice as much meat in his bowl as in the others, but no one expressed any dissatisfaction, drank the contents of the bowl in one gulp, and closed his eyes again to rest, this bit of nutrition could not meet his consumption at all, and I don't know when they began to eat not to taste the deliciousness of food, but only to meet the energy needs of the body.
"How much food is left?" Catherine asked after drinking the broth.
"There is no more, this is the prey forward, and with the soup, I barely let everyone get a small bowl." Shihan shook his head, looked at the resting man who was leaning against the wall, and whispered, "I plan to let the others go, they will never be able to live on us." ”
Yayun put down the small plastic bowl that served as a bowl and whispered, "There will be a lot of people who will die." ”
"I know, but it's better than dying together," Shihan's voice was low, gradually muffled by the sound of the rain.
The rain showed no signs of abating, and the rising fog drifted into the house, and the humidity and temperature of the air were gradually rising, as if it was scorching hot in a steamer, and the stuffy environment was unbearable.
"Retreat to a high place first" Li Xin opened his eyes, looked at the hot air that gradually drifted into the house with a pale face, and said to the three girls beside him. The survivors hiding by the windows are trying to stuff their chairs into the cracks, trying to keep the heat out, apparently not enough.
"En" Shihan said the first to walk out of the room, after feeling the movement of several people leaving, the other survivors cast surprised glances, Catherine after Li Xin walked out of the room and said loudly: "The heat here is too heavy, we need to find a higher place again before being smothered." ”
Walking through the corridor and climbing the stairs, the leader Shihan finally found a wide room on the sixth floor, the room was very messy, there were signs that others had taken the opportunity to loot, and everyone used chairs and curtains to block the broken glass before sitting down to rest again.
The rain continued to fall, and the temperature in the room rose a few degrees unconsciously, and everyone looked dying. Li Xin did not seem to be affected by the heat, and occupied a piece of sand that was not satisfied with dust alone, and lay down on it to rest.
The three women occupied another piece of sand and talked in a low voice.
No, it's better to talk to Catherine alone than to talk to herself, and occasionally everyone else will express their opinions, but most of the time they prefer to choose silence.
