Chapter 53: The rain is light, and the water is clear
The change in water quality below the 8th floor confirmed Sumi's guess.
All rivers and seas have their own purification capabilities. This is also the reason why human beings can still be tolerated after so many years of doing evil in nature. However, this apocalyptic disaster is a counterattack from nature.
It's also revenge.
The water downstairs is full of corpses. After several days of soaking, it has swelled and rotted, and it looks like a huge lump of rotten flesh.
Originally, there were still many animal carcasses that were basically missing at the moment. Su Mi thought that it was probably the arapaima that had to be dragged into the water to eat when it was too hungry to hunt.
At this time, there are many low-sulfur vortices under the water, which inexplicably suck all the garbage floating on the surface into the bottom of the water.
This phenomenon lasted for nearly three days, and the water level below rose again, completely submerging the 9th and 10th floors.
For the high-rise community where Sumi lives, this water level has already soaked half of the building in water. After a long time, the structure of the house is useless. That's when it's most dangerous.
Sumi calculated the time when the rain stopped, and it was extremely hot on the 7th, and it was raining heavily for 30 days. It wasn't until the 36th day that the heavy rain gradually became lighter. It only takes a few minutes to go from pouring rain to drizzling.
This time, however, those who survived learned to behave. I didn't go outside to vent my roar in the drizzle to relieve the pressure in my heart.
And what makes them so cautious is that in addition to being afraid of people who are sick and rotting and dying, the most afraid is people.
As the same kind, some armed robbers and robbers at this time vividly interpret the survival of the fittest and the survival of the jungle.
And in the past few days, in addition to sleeping beauty sleep every day, Su Mi is learning self-defense techniques with Qin Hao every day.
Qin Hao and Tiantian's condition gradually improved after they diligently wiped and cleaned it up every day, and they didn't even need medicine.
With this change, Qin Hao no longer has the lifeless air he used to have, and he exercises every day.
Su Mi saw the father and son exercising, and suddenly thought of Qin Hao's excellent skills, so she had the heart to learn one and a half moves.
She is now in good physical condition and has a lot of strength, but she can only use brute force. There is still a long way to go in the future, learn some moves to be around, and have more confidence in fighting.
Qin Hao is naturally very willing to teach Su Mi, and he and Tian Tian can get better, thanks to Su Mi. He didn't have the slightest doubt about the bucket of water that Su Mi gave him, but he was just credited to himself and Tian Tian for cleaning it every day, the wormwood was smoked in place, and the body's resistance was good.
Naturally, Su Mi's kindness of sending water is naturally remembered in his heart.
Although Ma Dexiang has also recovered a lot, he was almost sick before, and the degree of skin ulcers and rot exceeded 50% of the skin on his body, and he naturally did not get better so quickly.
In addition, the water he used to wash his body was the mineral water he had worked hard to collect before, although he learned to wipe and disinfect Qin Hao and his son carefully every day, he always felt that he was not as good as Qin Hao and his son.
Su Mi naturally wouldn't tell him the secrets in the water, and it would have taken all the kindness she had accumulated over the past month or so to save him. This disease, as long as the rain stops, the sun comes out, the environment is dry, and you can exercise more, and you will get better slowly.
Let Ma Dexiang suffer a little more, and he should avenge the women who were hurt by him and his little brother before. After all, the woman in 1503 had told Sumi about their filth.
Fortunately, after Ma Dexiang woke up, the so-called "righteous people" upstairs did not dare to disturb Su Mi, which made Su Mi feel that it was worth saving Ma Dexiang.
Qin Hao taught Su Mi to practice self-defense in the past few days, and praised Su Mi as a rare martial arts wizard. His physical fitness is many times better than his body, which he has trained since he was a child.
And the moves she taught her will be learned as soon as she learns, and she will soon be able to put them into practice. Like a low-level move like women's self-defense, it took Su Mi only ten minutes to understand it.
And Su Mi's strength was so great that she actually used the moves of women's self-defense techniques to lift Qin Hao up and make an over-the-shoulder fall.
So, in the next few days, Qin Hao taught her some killing moves, as long as the enemy showed a flaw, she could be defeated by the person who used such a move, and there was no power to turn over.
Sumi is also a quick learner.
Ma Dexiang naturally followed the class on the side, but for him, he was just used to strengthen his body, and he didn't plan to really learn any real moves.
As long as he hugs the thighs of the two in front of him, it will be fine for him to live without dragging his feet in the coming days.
Su Mi naturally saw through Ma Dexiang's careful thinking, but there was no dog like Ma Dexiang in her plan. Even Qin Hao and Tian Tian were not in her plans.
On the 37th day, the wind stopped, and it lasted for more than thirty days, and the sun showed half of its face on this day. The drizzle is like a thin and transparent net woven by the sky, enveloping the whole world.
At this moment, J City is vividly interpreting the scene of sunrise in the east and rain in the west. Even the stagnant water, which had been dirty for more than a month, became much clearer.
Every day, he grabbed the small dagger and stared eagerly at the stagnant water downstairs.
"Dad, sister, there are fish."
Qin Hao tensed up and hugged Tian Tian away from the window, and took a look down before breathing a sigh of relief.
"It's a good thing it's an ordinary fish, it's fine."
Common fish?
Sumi also looked down, and at this moment a school of small, flattened fish was calmly swimming under their windows. At first glance, these small fish appear to be black, but when they are occasionally refracted by the light, their bodies will produce a little silvery light.
Sumi was surprised, it was a meal of fish.
Every time I went to my grandmother's house when I was a child, my grandmother would make a plate of fried noodles for her to satisfy her cravings.
The skeleton of this fish is very small, and it does not grow big, and it is fried in an oil pan to be crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, sprinkled with a little cumin pepper, which is delicious and nutritious. Very tasty.
So I immediately ended today's self-defense class and returned to 1501. When he came out again, he carried two large plastic buckets and a large net bag with a long handle.
Seeing Su Mi's posture of going downstairs to catch fish, Tiantian's eyes flashed with excitement, but she didn't step forward with some fear. After all, it wasn't long ago that someone in the building was dragged down and eaten by a big fish in the water. That scene is vivid and unforgettable.
Qin Hao was also worried.
"Sumi, it's dangerous in the water, I think it's better to be careful."
Su Mi dared to do this at this time because the baby crocodiles in the water told her that the arapaima had left the community. Su Mi thought maybe she thought the food here was scarce? But look at the many corpses missing on the water, or is it full?
Su Mi, the arapaima in the space, will not eat it, and after eating people's fish, Su Mi has a shadow in her heart. But those meal strips of fish are different.
"Rest assured, arapaima lives in the rapids all year round, and now the water is gentle, and the rain is light, so it will be okay to be careful."
