#92 - Chapter 92 After the Rain
The rain stopped!
The sun is out again!
Inside Green Source Base, many people couldn't help but shout excitedly!
Heaven knows how adorable the sun, which used to be seen everywhere, is now!
In just one day, they have missed the sun like never before!
Some people even walked out of the buildings, basking in the last of the afterglow, enjoying the warmth brought by the sunset.
"Attention! Although the rain has stopped, it's best not to run out yet! Prevent the rain from suddenly falling again, and also pay attention to the standing water on the ground, which may still be corrosive. Immediately get someone to pull the water pipes over and prepare to flush the ground!"
Seeing that some people seemed to want to go out, Wang Yang quickly shouted at them.
Today, the boss has ordered him to keep an eye on the base personnel, and he must do this task well.
If Qin Jin were here to hear this, he might correct him, because after the black clouds in the sky dissipate, the acid rain means that it has stopped.
Any further rain will only be ordinary rain.
The acid rain has brought down all the harmful substances in the clouds, and as long as the previous abnormality does not appear in the sky again, there will be no more such terrifying rain.
It's that magical, and no one can explain it clearly.
The others listened to Wang Yang's shouts and obediently complied, not daring to really go out or touch the rainwater on the ground.
As soon as the rain stopped.
In fact, many people in the base immediately responded and started to take action.
They had already received the notification that once the rain stopped, they should immediately put on special raincoats and rain boots, take the connected water pipes, and start flushing the walls, as well as the roofs, balconies, and all other places on the buildings that had been rained on.
Even if there were still tarpaulins covering them, they still needed to be flushed again, striving to wash away all harmful substances.
After the buildings are flushed, the ground in the base will be washed again.
Except for those muddy ground surfaces that cannot be completely flushed, only water can be sprayed to dilute them.
This action may cost many tons of water, but for the base's two pools, the 130,000 cubic meters of water is just a drop in the bucket.
Being able to minimize the losses of the entire base in the acid rain is a profit.
Anyway, the water in the pond will be replenished by normal rainfall in the future.
This action took several hours.
From before dark until 10 p.m., this group of people who flushed the base completed their mission and came down to eat.
Of course, they were compensated in terms of food.
At this point.
The entire Green Source Base was wet everywhere, and the originally pungent acid rain was all swept into the drains and washed away, and the ground was filled with the humid smell of a normal heavy rain.
Qin Jin almost followed the entire cleaning process.
Not a single drop of rain seeped into the first and second underground floors, all thanks to the special requirements he made during construction.
It wasn't until every building was cleaned and confirmed to be undamaged that he breathed a slight sigh of relief.
The entire disaster defense was a complete success!
His base suffered basically no losses in this disaster.
It was past ten o'clock in the evening.
In Qin Jin's office.
In front of him were several people who came to report on their work, including managers, the captain of the defense team, and the captain of the combat team. Each major sector of the base sent people to participate in the base's cleaning.
After listening to their respective reports, everyone knew that this disaster had been temporarily overcome.
"After dawn tomorrow, if there are no abnormalities, then uncover all the tarpaulins in the base. It's been a few days since we've stored solar energy, and it's time to resume electricity collection."
Several people in charge of managing electricity agreed.
"Also, Professor Yuan, please check the soil conditions in our base tomorrow. Some rainwater has seeped in. See if it will affect the planting soil in our greenhouse and the planting area on the first underground floor."
"And take some time to look at the flowers and plants on the ground. Save as many as you can. If you really can't save them, then forget it."
Yuan Mu agreed.
"Then, except for the people from the combat team, everyone else who has things to do can go down and get busy. If you have nothing to do, go back and rest quickly. Everyone has worked hard today!"
The few people declined politely and then left, no longer disturbing the people who stayed here to continue discussing matters.
At this time, only the captains of the combat team remained in the office.
"Bowen, A'Yu, Junchi, Tiankai, Wenhao, you are now the five captains of our combat team. The earthquake and acid rain have passed, and starting tomorrow, we will resume the task of going out to find supplies!"
The captains, whose names he had mentioned one by one, nodded silently to show their understanding.
Only those who have truly experienced that terrible darkness today will cherish the rare moments under the sunshine even more.
That is the moment when the current survivors can be a little bolder and go out!
They almost dare not imagine the terror of not having sunlight in the future, when the night becomes the norm, how dangerous it will be outside.
The difficulty of obtaining supplies in that kind of darkness will increase exponentially!
"Don't relax. This rain today was very abnormal. I have a feeling that this apocalypse has changed again."
"Take a look at this video."
After speaking, Qin Jin walked to his seat, moved the computer, and then turned the screen to show the captains the picture on the screen.
The captains fixed their eyes and saw that it showed the scene outside the base.
Judging from the time, it was at night and it was raining heavily.
Under the illumination of the lights on the walls, you could see several zombies standing in the rain. Since the cameras were all high-definition models (with tarpaulins covering them in advance to protect them, so they wouldn't be damaged), they could even see the facial features on the zombies' faces.
As time went on, the zombies opened their mouths wide, and some even raised their hands, as if they were devoutly worshiping the sky!
Hiss——
Several captains couldn't help but gasp!
What are these zombies doing!?
No one asked out loud.
The picture was almost over here. Qin Jin didn't continue playing it. He turned the computer around and said to the captains:
"Everyone saw it. This is the video taken by the outside surveillance during the acid rain before. The zombies outside may have undergone changes we don't know about because of this rain. What specific changes will probably have to be tested tomorrow to find out. After dawn tomorrow, we will clean up the zombies around the base in groups."
"At the same time, we will first roughly understand the changes in the zombies, and then prepare for future material search missions."
"In any case, I don't want to see anyone from our combat team being reduced, because you are all important forces in our base!"
The captains understood what the boss meant.
President Qin showed them this video and said these things because he was afraid that they would carelessly think that the zombies were still the same as before, leading to underestimation and misjudgment. At that time, someone might have to pay a bloody price.
"Boss, we understand!"
"Tomorrow, we will first feel out the zombies' bottom line, and then talk about other things after we are prepared."
The captains all expressed their opinions.
Seeing this, Qin Jin knew that they had listened.
So he waved them back to rest.
He himself stayed in the office.
Using the indoor lights, he reached out and took a bottle of foreign wine from the shelf behind him.
He gently poured himself half a glass.
He took a small sip.
After letting the wine roll under his tongue and the aroma fill his mouth, he swallowed slowly.
He reached out and took out a cigarette and placed it on his lips, which still had the aroma of wine.
Light it.
He took a slow puff.
Huff——
A straight arrow of smoke shot straight ahead.
He enjoyed this moment after overcoming the challenge.
The acid rain has passed, and no losses have been caused.
Of course, this was mainly achieved because he had foreknowledge. Otherwise, the damage to the entire Green Source Base would be impossible to estimate!
This is the benefit of foreknowledge.
After calming down for a while, he put out the cigarette and reached into the drawer of his desk to take out a small notebook.
After taking it out, he flipped through the notebook.
It seemed that he had found the target.
There were two long strings of words.
Combined, they seemed to be two addresses.
He stared at these words in a daze.
At this time, his right thumb moved, revealing the parentheses behind the two addresses.
There were still a few small words inside the parentheses.
Inside, it was clearly written - Zhushi Military Region, Yangcheng Military Region!!
