sjar Chapter 15 Acid Rain
Chapter 15 Acid Rain
The earthquake lasted for another ten minutes or so before stopping.
However, Yu Yao and Luo Mei were both cautious people, so they did not go into the house immediately, but patiently waited in an open space to observe.
Sure enough, several aftershocks followed.
The curses and screams that had finally stopped in the villa area rang out again and again.
It's almost become the background music for earthquakes.
Fortunately, although the earthquake lasted for a relatively long time, its overall intensity was not high.
The damage was limited to home furnishings and shoddy construction work.
In Yu Yao's view, it was more like a provocation against humanity, and also a trigger to reveal the terrible side of the apocalypse.
Because after this seemingly insignificant earthquake, what followed was an even more terrifying acid rain.
Those black raindrops, capable of destroying even metal, can easily corrode human flesh and even bones.
The corpses left outside will soon be completely corroded in this eerie black acid rain.
Humans and zombies alike were not spared!
Thinking of all this, Yu Yao packed her things and urged Luo Mei to go back into the house together.
The two of them worked together to tidy up the living room.
After settling in, Yu Yao took out two boxes of self-heating rice from her backpack compartment.
It wasn't that she was generous; it was that she didn't want to go hungry while trying to hide supplies!
She has so many supplies! How could she let herself go hungry!
However, she doesn't plan to reveal too many supplies for the time being.
Just pretend you picked up some food on your way to escape.
Even so, Luo Mei was overjoyed.
Although she didn't intend to keep taking advantage of Yu Yao, once she started owing her money, she didn't mind owing her more.
However, she didn't rush to grab it, but waited for Yu Yao to take a serving of braised beef brisket first.
Only then did they naturally take the remaining Cantonese claypot rice.
While the water was being poured in and the food was being simmered, Luo Mei pulled out a strange-looking phone from somewhere and started fiddling with it.
Unfortunately, even after the self-heating rice was fully heated, nothing came of it.
Seeing her puffed-up face, Yu Yao asked, "Satellite phone?"
"Hmm, I wonder how they are doing!" Luo Mei said dejectedly.
"them?"
"My brothers."
Yu Yao didn't know who Luo Mei's so-called brothers were, but she didn't ask any further questions.
Judging from Luo Mei's abilities, her brothers must be extraordinary. As long as they aren't too unlucky, nothing should happen to them.
However, before Yu Yao could say anything to comfort her, Luo Mei had already calmed herself down.
While muttering that they were so capable they would definitely have no problem, he went to lift the lid of the heated self-heating rice.
It's unclear whether she was trying to channel her worry into her appetite, or if she genuinely trusted her brothers.
......
Half an hour after the earthquake, the sound of large raindrops falling suddenly began outside.
Upon hearing the noise, Luo Mei immediately took her food to the window and looked out.
Upon closer inspection, it was discovered that the rainwater was not only eerily black, but it was also corroding things in the yard, including the large iron gate, which was emitting a hissing sound.
She couldn't help but gasp, only to find that she had swallowed a grain of rice into her throat.
"Cough cough cough cough, damn it! Cough cough cough! Acid rain! And it's black!!"
Even though she was choking and tears were streaming down her face, and her neck was red and swollen, Luo Mei didn't forget to "tip off" Yu Yao.
Yu Yao blinked and asked helplessly, "Are you alright?"
Luo Mei coughed a few more times until she coughed up the rice grains that had almost gone into her trachea.
He waved his hand and said several times, "It's alright, it's alright."
After finishing, he leaned on the windowsill, staring wide-eyed at the dark rain outside while shoveling rice into his mouth.
Seeing that she was indeed alright, Yu Yao ate with peace of mind.
But his eyes were fixed on the increasingly dense acid rain outside the window, which was almost turning the sky black.
Just as the original owner remembered, this acid rain was extremely destructive, even corroding metals.
Many items in the yard are being corroded and destroyed at an alarming rate.
If a mortal body stood in the rain, it would surely be badly injured.
This is why Yu Yao still came to find a house to live in even though she knew an earthquake was coming.
Luo Mei leaned against the window frame, looking out the window as she ate her rice non-stop.
After a long while, he sighed, picked up his lunchbox, and returned to the sofa. The worry that he had managed to suppress earlier rose up again.
"I don't know what happened to them."
"It'll be alright," Yu Yao said dryly, offering a word of comfort.
"Yeah, it'll be fine. Those guys are cunning and scheming. A little acid rain won't stop them."
Yu Yao wasn't good at comforting people, so after giving a brief reply, she focused on eating.
Luo Mei, on the other hand, seemed to be lost in thought, frequently drifting off into a daze.
After finishing her meal, Luo Mei finally couldn't help but say, "Sister, if we find them, why don't you join us? Our team is incredibly strong, really, super strong!"
Luo Mei looked at Yu Yao, her bright fox eyes full of hope.
Yu Yao raised an eyebrow and asked with a light laugh, "Since you've said it's a team, can you decide for me to join your team on my own?"
Luo Mei said earnestly, "No, but I believe they will definitely like you."
"really?"
"Really! You're so beautiful, have such a great personality, and you cleared out a whole villa area of zombies all by yourself! You're amazing! How could anyone not like you?"
The two had previously mentioned during a casual chat that Yu Yao, Ji Yan, and Ye Ang had cleared out the zombies in the villa area.
Although Luo Mei didn't witness the scene, didn't she know how many zombies she had attracted?
If you're not sure, just look at the zombie corpses outside and you'll know.
Looking at the serious Luo Mei, Yu Yao chuckled softly, without answering the question, "Would anyone dislike her?"
There are plenty!
"I already said, someone is helping me."
"Then you're very strong too. I trust my intuition!"
What Luo Mei didn't say was that Yu Yao was right in front of her, but her mental power couldn't capture any information about her.
Although Luo Mei didn't think her mental strength was anything extraordinary, Yu Yao's situation really baffled her.
My mind is filled with only a few words: I don't understand but it sounds impressive.
She believed that the boss would definitely not miss out on someone as capable as him.
Moreover, Luo Mei is a hopeless case of being obsessed with looks; it's incurable.
She liked Yu Yao's appearance, and the more she looked at her, the more she liked her.
It's to the point that every time I watch it for a while, I can't help but want to "hiss hiss hiss"!
In this doomed apocalypse, if she could face a face like that every day, she could definitely live at least ten more years!
......
Luo Mei's invitation was sincere, but Yu Yao didn't dwell on the topic for long.
She certainly had no intention of being a lone wolf.
Because of my experience playing games in my previous life.
She knew that the items dropped by monsters were basically differentiated according to the attributes, aptitude, characteristics, and level of the different killers.
If soldiers engage in long-term solo combat, the attributes and classifications of their equipment will become increasingly simplistic and limited.
In her previous life, she suffered greatly because she was too aloof.
Having been given a second chance at life, I definitely need to make changes in this area.
However, finding teammates is not an easy task in itself.
Luo Mei suited her taste perfectly, but she still couldn't be sure what kind of people her teammates were.
However... if her teammates are reliable enough, she could join.
Although she has the ability to build her own team, the cost-effectiveness is too low.
She has to spend a lot of energy helping others get promoted and grow. As the leader of a team, she has to worry about so many things and make so many decisions.
They even have to devote a lot of energy to protecting others.
This would only waste her time improving herself, which would be putting the cart before the horse.
She doesn't have an absolute sense of ownership or insist on being the boss.
If possible, she just wants to find a reliable team temporarily, work together to kill as many zombies as possible, and level up quickly.
Smoothly navigate the awkward early stages of breastfeeding.
......
Not receiving a clear answer, Luo Mei was somewhat disheartened.
However, she did not give up and directly played the emotional card, treating Yu Yao as a good friend.
He had endless things to say to her, trying to soften her with sincerity and genuine feelings.
At this moment, Luo Mei had already quickly accepted the arrival of the apocalypse, adjusted her mindset, and felt extremely relaxed.
Until the rain got heavier and lasted longer.
The world has been ravaged by acid rain.
Luo Mei visibly became anxious and spoke less and less.
Yu Yao also inexplicably felt a sense of unease, as if something was amiss.
It seems that some unknown danger is silently brewing in this acid rain.
