Chapter 96: Corrosive Acid Rain

Wang Tao was going to go out with Han Rui today, but since last night, it has rained heavily outside, so he canceled his travel plan.

Although rain will affect the perception of zombies, if it rains too much, it will also affect people's actions and perceptions. It can even be life-threatening, after all, the rain will cause floods.

So for the sake of safety, Wang Tao decided to postpone for a day.

After Han Rui got Wang Tao's news, she also quietly breathed a sigh of relief. She is really embarrassed to be alone with Wang Tao, although Wang Tao will definitely let her go with her in the future, but now it can be delayed for a day......

Wang Tao has no specific work as a committee member, and he is not willing to bother to study the development of the base, so he is still relatively idle when he is in the base.

Today, Wang Tao's plan is to eat, exercise, sleep, and play games with his sister-in-law.

You don't have to go out of the door, and you can live the life of a post-apocalyptic otaku.

However, just as Wang Tao was exercising, Ding Yuqin's exclamation suddenly came from upstairs.

"Wang Tao, come and see!"

Wang Tao came to the second floor.

Ding Yuqin was behind the sliding door of the balcony, pointing to something on the balcony.

Wang Tao followed Ding Yuqin's gaze and suddenly narrowed his eyes.

"It's ...... Pothos? ”

On the balcony, there were originally a few pots of pothos, this plant likes to rain, so Ding Yuqin didn't move in.

But now these pothos are significantly larger than before! The leaves are the size of lotus leaves!

"It's pothos...... Itβ€”how did it get so big......"

Ding Yuqin was a little incredulous.

These plants have also gotten bigger before, but they are all getting bigger slowly, and they are not so obvious. It's like this pothos, it has become so big overnight!

And it's not just pothos, Wang Tao looked outside, and he found that the leeks in the yard had also become bigger, two or three times bigger than before!

Wang Tao's brows furrowed deeply, it is the end of the world, and the emergence of this situation is not necessarily a good thing......

He opened the glass sliding door and reached into the rain.

After feeling it carefully for a while, Wang Tao quickly took his hand back, his face was a little ugly.

"Something is wrong with this rain! I feel so sick! ”

Not only did he feel uncomfortable psychologically, but most importantly, Wang Tao saw that he was bleeding!

About a drop of blood in a minute!

"Wang Tao, what's wrong with you?"

Ding Yuqin saw Wang Tao's ugly face, and immediately asked with some concern.

"This rain is poisonous!"

Wang Tao couldn't explain it, mainly because he didn't know the reason, so he said an easy-to-understand explanation.

"Poisonous?" Ding Yuqin was startled, she hurriedly pulled Wang Tao's arm and pulled Wang Tao into the room, "Then don't touch the rain!" ”

Feeling Ding Yuqin's concern, Wang Tao shook his head:

"Sister-in-law doesn't need to be too nervous, it's not very toxic, as long as you don't contact it for a long time."

Wang Tao looked at his hand again, but there was no wound on it.

"Don't go out until the rain stops, sister-in-law."

"Hmm!"

Wang Tao and Ding Yuqin closed the doors and windows of their home, and then he contacted several other committee members and told them that the rain was poisonous.

Wang Tao still doesn't know what the situation of blood falling in the rain is, is it a fixed drop of blood every minute? Or is there less blood loss in the early stage, and more and more blood loss in the back? Or is it that the blood is lost when you first come into contact, and then it doesn't lose blood?

All of these scenarios are possible. So before the test, Wang Tao couldn't say how toxic this rain was.

And after talking to several other committee members, he found that the rain was not only poisonous!

"This rain seems to be corrosive, and my car is rusty outside after a night of rain!"

"Some of the flowers and plants planted in front of my gate have grown, but some of them have dried up as if they had been sprayed with pesticides......

"Some soldiers reported to me that the zombies outside seemed to be getting more rotten......"

β€œβ€¦β€¦β€

After communicating with each other for a while, everyone couldn't say whether the rain was good or bad. I can only wait for the rain to stop and then watch.

Ren Jie then began broadcasting to the entire base β€” loudspeakers were installed in some fixed areas of the base to receive information from the committee. The sound of the horn is not loud, but there are people around, and then through these people to transmit the news to the people around them, you can achieve a base-wide broadcast.

Ren Jie informed all the survivors, asking everyone not to go out, just stay at home, and try not to get caught in the rain, this rain seems to be a bit of a problem.

As for the specific problem, such as the speculation that it is toxic and corrosive, Ren Jie did not say.

Wang Tao thought that Ren Jie had forgotten to say it, but soon, he knew that he was in a small situation - the rain was getting heavier and heavier, and the water in the base had already begun to accumulate. In order to drain the water, it is necessary to organize manpower. Ren Jie began to ask the survivors to put on raincoats to drain the water!

"You can't tell them that the rain is poisonous for the time being, otherwise if they don't drain the water because they're afraid, then our base may be flooded......

Ren Jie explained.

Others, including Wang Tao, didn't say anything.

Although it may sound a little immoral, as the saying goes, good is not an official, and Ren Jie is considering it from the perspective of the base as a whole, and there is nothing wrong with it.

When organizing people to drain the water, they need to be watched, and Wang Tao went in person in a raincoat.

Considering that this rain is corrosive, Wang Tao did not drive his own car. He has two vehicles, a new energy off-road vehicle and a diesel pickup truck. However, both cars were left in the indoor garage and did not get rainy.

There are actually a lot of cars in the base, and Wang Tao directly requisitioned an off-road vehicle for the personnel on duty.

Several other committee members had already passed first, and before Wang Tao went, he turned to the teacher's apartment.

When Wang Tao entered the teacher's apartment, he happened to see Sun Weiguang talking to others with a walkie-talkie, and Wang Tao shouted.

"Sun Weiguang, where is your wife Han Rui?"

Sun Weiguang was startled, and after seeing Wang Tao, he subconsciously replied:

"She, she's ...... at home"

"Okay."

Wang Tao didn't say a word, and went up directly.

β€œβ€¦β€¦β€

Sun Weiguang opened his mouth, he didn't know if he should go home or not.

Although she still lives with Han Rui now, she has slept separately. Han Rui didn't talk to him much, and her attitude was very indifferent, so she treated him as an ordinary roommate.

At some point, Sun Weiguang is still a little uncomfortable, after all, Han Rui is his wife, and the two have lived together for some days, but now the two are like strangers......

There is no medicine to remember after the fact, but Han Rui knows everything! Fake drugs are harmful!

However, most of the time, Sun Weiguang is also happy to be quiet, if he can't apply for a house now, he may just move out and live with Ou Yingying.

When Han Rui heard the sound of the door opening, she thought it was Sun Weiguang. So I didn't care.

Until she felt a tall shadow blocking the light from the window.

Han Rui looked up and was suddenly startled.

"You...... What are you doing here! ”

Wang Tao frowned suddenly.

"Han Rui, what kind of attitude do you have? As a member of the base committee, I personally arranged a job for you, don't you welcome it? ”

"No, I mean ......"

Han Rui wanted to explain, but after thinking about it for a long time, she didn't know what to say. She suddenly lowered her head and sighed.

"Commissioner Wang, if you have any tasks, just ...... orders?"

Of course, Wang Tao was either really angry, or just teasing her. So he smiled and said:

"You come with me to supervise the other people's drainage, and I need you to help me sense something."

"Yes."

After Han Rui put on the raincoat, the two walked out. As soon as Wang Tao opened the door, Sun Weiguang, who was lying on the door, almost fell on his head.

β€œβ€¦β€¦ What are you doing here? ”

Wang Tao has a black line.

"Ahem, I just didn't stand ......"

Sun Weiguang hurriedly explained awkwardly.

Han Rui didn't even look at Sun Weiguang and walked out directly.

After Han Rui went downstairs, Wang Tao left, but he glanced at Sun Weiguang and said:

"Your hobby is special......"

β€œβ€¦β€¦β€

After the two of them left, Sun Weiguang hurried in and smelled the smell in the room.

"Really didn't do anything?"

Sun Weiguang felt that he was inexplicably disappointed, what was going on......

……

After Wang Tao and Han Rui got into the car together, they said to her:

"I want you to feel the plants that are getting bigger......"

"Plants that are getting bigger?"

Han Rui was a little puzzled, she really didn't pay attention to which food had become bigger, but when Wang Tao deliberately drove the car next to some larger plants, Han Rui's eyes widened.

"This ...... So big! ”

Looking at the bushes that had obviously grown a lot, Han Rui exclaimed.

"You can use your ability to feel if there is anything special about these plants."

Han Rui closed her eyes, and after feeling it carefully, she shook her head.

"No, I don't feel ......"

Hearing Han Rui say that she couldn't feel it, Wang Tao breathed a sigh of relief.

He was afraid that these plants would mutate into the kind of man-eating plants in the movie, but now it seems to be okay, as long as Han Rui can't sense it, there should be no danger, at least not for the time being.

The car came to the place where the water was more serious, and looked at the survivors wearing raincoats and holding shovels to clean the pipes, Wang Tao sat in the car and stared quietly.

He came here to watch, one naturally to prevent the survivors from being in danger of life, and the other to see what was going on with the rain's bleeding.

The raincoats were unable to cover the entire body of the survivors, especially if they were still working, and soon the word "-1" began to appear on the heads of the survivors.

Wang Tao observed that it was similar to himself, and they all began to lose blood in about a minute. But only the full blood is shedding, and the remaining blood is not.

Han Rui looked at these survivors working in the rain, and she subconsciously opened the door and went out. But Wang Tao locked the car door.

"What are you going to do?"

Wang Tao asked a little strangely.

"I'm going to help......"

Han Rui hurriedly said.

Hearing this, Wang Tao was a little speechless, and he glared at Han Rui.

"Sit down."

β€œβ€¦β€¦β€

Han Rui's face suddenly stiffened, and she felt that Wang Tao was a little too indifferent.

Wang Tao suddenly said:

"This rain is poisonous."

"......" Han Rui was stunned for a moment, it turned out that Wang Tao was concerned about her? But soon, she was worried again, "Then they ......"

"Don't worry, with me watching, there will be no problems."

After Han Rui struggled for a while, she still had to go down.

"Watching them work in the rain, I can't do it here to watch ......"

Han Rui's previous work made her develop the habit of taking the lead, Wang Tao said that the rain was poisonous, and said that there was not much danger, and she felt that she still had to help.

This time, Wang Tao didn't stop him again, so he let Han Rui go down. He can't do it himself, but he admires this kind of person. And by the way, he can also observe the situation of the Adeptus in the rain.

The blood volume of the survivors is generally around 100, and the people who come out to work are also full of blood, so there is naturally no danger at the beginning.

And when it was about ten minutes later, Wang Tao saw that a negative state appeared under the blood bars of these people.

[Corrosive acid rain: The body is slightly corroded, and it can return to normal after a certain period of rest]

Whether it is full blood or residual blood survivors, this state basically appeared at this time. Those who didn't show up for the time being were all people who were covered more tightly.

By the time it was twenty minutes, some of the survivors expressed some discomfort and wanted to rest for a while. Wang Tao naturally allowed it.

Still, there are some people who are holding out. After all, this is an extra task, and the more you do, the more food stamps you will be issued.

By the time it was thirty minutes, some of them had to rest.

By the time it was 40 minutes, most of the people said they wanted to rest and felt a little uncomfortable.

When it was fifty minutes, except for Han Rui, everyone else present said that they wanted to rest, and they said that they were a little flustered and short of breath, and they were very uncomfortable.

At this time, it was just when half of their health dropped. The negative state on their heads has also changed.

[Corrosive acid rain: The body is moderately corroded, and it can return to normal after resting for a long time]

Wang Tao asked all this group of people to go home to rest, and then replace the next group of people.

He felt that for ordinary people, this had reached their limit, if they waited until it was heavily corroded...... That could either be a hard time recovering or just a burp.

And Han Rui is different from them, Han Rui also has a corrosive state on her head, but she has 240 blood, so after deducting 50 blood, there is still 190, and it is still in a state of "mild corrosion".

Wang Tao guessed that there might be no problem when the blood volume was lost within 10% of the total blood volume due to corrosive acid rain, but simply deducted some blood.

When 10% of the total blood volume is lost, there will be a slight corrosion, and the body will begin to feel a little uncomfortable.

When the amount of blood drops to 50% of the total blood volume, it will become moderately corroded, and at this time, the body will be very uncomfortable and will not be able to work.

As for how much blood is for severe corrosion, Wang Tao is still unclear. After all, he couldn't really test on the lives of the survivors of the base.

But now he has roughly understood that 50% of the corroded HP is a warning line. At this time, you can't be in the rain, otherwise your life may be in danger.

Regarding the principle of this "corrosive acid rain", Wang Tao speculated that it may be that after these corrosive acid rain falls on people, they will accumulate in the body, and when they accumulate to a certain extent, they will lose blood, and the more they accumulate, the more obvious the negative state will be. If you accumulate beyond the limits of your body, you may die.

So that's why, when they first come into contact with Corrosive Acid Rain, only people with full health will lose blood, but those with residual blood won't - this loss of blood is based on the maximum amount of health, not the current amount of health. It feels a bit similar to the impurities in the body after fusing the zombie crystal nucleus......

"Han Rui, come here!"

After changing a group of people outside, Wang Tao called Han Rui up.

Han Rui obediently got into the car.

"How does it feel?"

Wang Tao asked:

"It's a little uncomfortable, I feel like my heartbeat is a little abnormal, but I can bear ......"

Han Rui clutched her chest, her face was a little unpleasant.

"I'll touch it."

Wang Tao reached out directly, but was suddenly dodged by Han Rui.

"There are so many people out there!"

Han Rui subconsciously covered her chest, her face flushed.

"You mean, when no one is around?"

"No one! Wang Tao, didn't we, let's just say that nothing happened......

Han Rui was a little afraid to look directly into Wang Tao's eyes.

Wang Tao said with an innocent face:

"Huh? What are you talking about...... What about you taking the initiative to hug me that night? I've almost forgotten about it, why did you bring it up again? ”

β€œβ€¦β€¦β€

Han Rui had never seen such a shameless person. She decided to ignore Wang Tao.

Wang Tao smiled and didn't care, he was just teasing Han Rui a little, and he had to do business.

Mizusawa University's drainage system is actually quite good, and with the exception of a few places where water accumulates, water from other places flows to the river to the north of the university.

There are several rivers in Mizusawa Prefecture, which is where the name Mizusawa Prefecture comes from. The longest of them is just behind Mizusawa University, but there isn't much water in the river, and it's all showing signs of drying up. Now is the right time to drain the torrential rain into the river.

It took a day for the survivors to finally get all the drains in place - in fact, some of the drainage pipes and ditches were blocked before, and they just went to clean them.

Under the condition that Wang Tao is staring, no survivors are in danger, at most they are moderately corroded, and they can recover after resting.

When Wang Tao handed out the food stamps to these people, the survivors were very happy. Although I am a little tired and uncomfortable today, today's one-day income can be worth a week! It's worth it!

After Wang Tao saw that Han Rui was indeed fine, he sent him home.

Then Wang Tao came to the top floor of the complex building and discussed the problem of corrosive acid rain with several other committee members.

Wang Tao said everything he saw, of course, it was processed to a certain extent, and he would definitely not say that he could see the blood bar.

For this corrosive acid rain, everyone is very painful.

If the future rain is all corrosive acid rain like this, doesn't that mean that they can't go out on a rainy day?

Even if it's dangerous on a sunny day, it's especially dangerous on a rainy day!

Although you can wrap yourself tightly and try not to expose your skin to the outside, there is still a lot of risk after all!

Of course, this is for the average person.

If it's for people with a lot of blood, they still have a big advantage. For example, Wang Tao, with his 1200 HP, it is no problem to stay in the rain for ten hours......

Everyone couldn't discuss anything for the time being, so they could only wait for the rain to stop.

But the torrential rain lasted longer than everyone expected, lasting three days.
