The end of the world? This is simply his paradise!

Chapter 44: Rusted Through in Minutes

Time quietly came to midnight on the eighth day of the apocalypse! As the countdown reached zero, a new system prompt sounded in Wang Qiang's mind.

Ding~!

[Apocalypse: The rain of ash has arrived! ]

"Rain of Ashes?" Hearing the system's prompt, Wang Qiang frowned slightly, feeling a little uneasy.

His original plan was that if this new apocalyptic disaster was not something like the poisonous sun that prevented people from going out, then he would take the two maids to see if there was anyone in the villas in other villa areas.

If no one is there, then he can just move in and enjoy a more spacious and comfortable living environment. If there is someone?
Then drive him away, or just kill him. Anyway, Wang Qiang has taken a fancy to this villa, so it belongs to him!
Afterwards, they can drive to the city to see the real situation outside, and buy some usable supplies for free.

But now, looking at this newly refreshed natural disaster, Wang Qiang’s plan has completely failed!
Ash rain? You thought it was just some ashes floating in the sky?

That's totally wrong! If that's the case, how can it be considered a doomsday disaster?
Because it blocks the sun? And causes global temperatures to plummet?
If that were really the case, then things would be simple.

In fact, this wave of refreshing ash rain is far more than that!
Getting up from the bed, Wang Qiang slowly walked to the window and gently pulled open the curtains that had been closed for seven days and seven nights.

At this time, the temperature of the entire Blue Planet was dropping rapidly. The previous scorching sun caused the global daytime temperature to reach 50 degrees!
It was 45 degrees at night! And that was the air temperature outside.

In a closed indoor environment, the temperature will be even higher!
Fortunately, Xuan Country did not experience large-scale water and power outages, and with the widespread popularity of air conditioners, not too many people were killed by the heat! But some foreign countries were not so lucky.

The penetration rate of air conditioners in some countries is very low! Even in some developed countries, many people do not have air conditioners in their homes.

It's not that they can't afford air conditioners. It's a difference in concepts.

Another reason is that labor costs are too high! The more developed a country is, the more expensive the labor costs are!

In contrast, in some poor countries, labor costs are the cheapest. As long as you pay a little money, there are plenty of people willing to do the job.

Therefore, the countries with low penetration of air conditioners had the most deaths from the scorching sun disaster last week. Many of them did not die from infection from the scorching sun.

Instead, he was killed by the heat! It's so tragic.

However, those who have survived until now are lucky this time, because the global temperature is dropping.

Firstly, the poisonous sun disaster has disappeared. Secondly, the ash rain disaster has come, so that the sun's radiation on the blue planet has become far less sufficient than before.

To put it simply, the sunlight is blocked and only a small part of it can reach the ground, so the temperature naturally drops.

Of course, this process will be extremely slow, and the temperature will not drop by a few degrees in just a few days.

In fact, in just seven days, the temperature drops so much that the human body can hardly feel it.

Therefore, the real reason for the sudden drop in temperature in a short period of time is the disappearance of the toxic sun disaster, which has caused the global temperature to quickly return to its normal range.

At this time, Wang Qiang, who was standing at the window, had already seen the ashes falling outside the window.

Seen in the darkness, they looked like snowflakes, falling heavily, casting a mysterious and dangerous veil over the world.

But if you look closely at what is falling on the window, it is not white snowflakes at all, but gray-black ashes!

"With so much ashes, even if it has no other effects, I have to wear a gas mask when I go out." Wang Qiang thought to himself. At this time, he suddenly noticed some ashes that fell on the anti-theft guardrail outside the window. After they stuck to it, the surrounding silver stainless steel actually showed signs of rust!
"Sure enough!" Wang Qiang also had an expression of "I knew it" on his face when he saw this scene.

This rain of ash really couldn't be just a few ashes falling from the sky. Even stainless steel would rust in a short time after being in contact with it. If it was iron, wouldn't it be rusted through in minutes?
What's even worse is that the window frames of almost every household are made of metal, which will also be corroded by the ashes after coming into contact with them.

When the rust reaches a certain extent, the entire window frame will fall off the original window, and the ashes will then float directly into the room!

Now Wang Qiang still doesn't know what kind of harm these ashes will cause to the human body. But he doesn't want to test the law!

After all, in this doomsday, any risk may lead to fatal consequences.

So when he saw this, he immediately turned around and woke up Xia Xinyue who had just fallen asleep.

"Master, I can't take it anymore, please let me go!" Xia Xinyue, who was shaken awake, still muttered in a daze.

"Stop talking nonsense. Something big has happened. We need to leave here quickly." Wang Qiang picked up the clothes on the ground and threw them to her, asking her to change them quickly.

"Something big happened?!" Xia Xinyue's eyes widened instantly, and she looked much more sober.

"Hurry up!" Wang Qiang urged.

Hearing this, Xia Xinyue realized that something serious had happened, so she quickly got up and started putting on her clothes and socks.

Her heart was also filled with tension and anxiety, not knowing what had happened.

On the other side, as ashes continued to fall from the sky, terrible changes occurred all over the world!

As the ash rain fell, some high-voltage power towers began to rust, and as time passed, the signs of rust were rapidly intensifying.

It seemed as if time had accelerated its pace at this moment, ruthlessly eroding the cornerstone of human civilization.

In addition, anything made of metal will rust in a short time after being exposed to these ashes, whether it is iron, aluminum alloy or stainless steel.

The only difference is probably the speed of rust.

Among them, iron rusts the fastest! Like a prey targeted by a demon, it quickly loses its original firmness and luster.

Xuan Kingdom capital time, 0:15.

Fifteen minutes had passed since the ash rain began, and the exposed metal objects had already shown signs of widespread rust.

Those cars that had been parked on the road before the end of the world now looked as if they had been parked there for more than a decade. The paint on the cars was peeling off in large flakes, and the steel structures inside were covered with rust.

If someone wipes it with their hand, they will find that the surface of the steel structure has been corroded by almost several millimeters!
in the living room.

Liu Ruyan was woken up shortly after falling asleep.

"What are you doing~!" Liu Ruyan, who was woken up, looked unhappy, her brows slightly frowned, and a hint of dissatisfaction in her eyes.

"Don't sleep, something happened!" Xia Xinyue, who was responsible for waking up Liu Ruyan, looked at her seriously and said.
