Doomsday Paradise

Chapter 200
Qiao Mi slightly opened the door and stood on the back of the rain and stepped on the ground with her feet. In an instant, a puddle appeared on the ground, filled with wet rainwater, but after a while, the soles of her shoes were scorched black. , because the small cloth shoes were made of ordinary cloth, the soles of the shoes were corroded in less than half an hour. Qiao Miwei took off his shoes and stood barefoot in the room, muttering, "How could this be?"

The surface is full of water, which means that the ground is already very wet, and it is too wet to store water. Fortunately, rainwater contains a lot of acid and other corrosive substances, which makes the ground under the ground very hard and forms hard lumps, but not all All the land is like this, there are always some places where the soil has not hardened, so the rain seeps down little by little...

The supermarket finally opened. Because Tuli Village was too far away from the Wujiacun base, they had to open a vent at the old base site to make another exit. The shelves were neatly placed in the supermarket. Personnel management is handed over to an experienced person. She is only responsible for keeping an eye on the goods on the shelves. Everything that can be found in the base and what people need is placed on the shelves. Products produced by chemical factories and textile factory cooperatives are also placed on the shelves. They put them all in, and Qiao Miwei also took out some of the products produced by Yudong and the others in Taoyuan and put them on the shelves. Even so, the supermarket seemed empty, but Qiao Miwei didn't mind. When she woke up, she believed that it would get better and better in the future.

The corridor on the second side was originally for commercial use. After two months of development, there are now various small shops here, and they have formed their own characteristics. All the signboards are made of sheets and bedspreads, with different styles, or Pull it horizontally, pull it vertically, or hang it, and the shapes of the signboards are also different, there are all kinds of shapes, and recently the chemical factory has researched several colors of paint, so people make the signboards fancy Yes, at first glance it looks quite distinctive.

There are all kinds of delicacies in the snack corridor. Although limited by the materials, many foods cannot be prepared, but the chefs are unwilling to be lonely and cannot develop horizontally to make more dishes. Then research vertically and develop more types without any ingredients. How to eat, so the richness of the dishes here is not bad at all. If you are willing to spend your work points, walk from one end of the snack corridor to the other end, and then back, to ensure that most of the things you eat are not heavy.

There are not only snacks, but also a variety of daily necessities, kitchen utensils, cleaning utensils, women’s and children’s, and things to play. There are even several small theaters here, which have live performances, including There are programs from all over the world, and there are even two children's theaters. I heard that the people in them are remakes of Pleasant Goat. It starts every two weeks. Every time the children in the base are not left behind, even many adults come to watch the two for fun. field.

The vigorous development of the corridor on the second side has prompted the accelerated transformation of the base canteen. The size of the canteen in the old base has been several times smaller, but it is still very necessary. After all, there are more single people in the base, and those who are too lazy to open fire Well, Qin Yulin has already relieved the burden of the chief executive of the base. Qiao Miwei heard from Qin Zhiyuan that he seems to be thinking about starting some kind of business. This is a new thing, but he doesn't know what he is going to do.

The only thing that disappointed Qiao Miwei and Qin Zhiyuan was that the acid rain outside still didn't stop. What's more, with the accumulation of rainwater, the outside has turned into a lake. Fortunately, the entrances to the base are all inside the house, and the entrances have also been closed. Gao Guo, I'm not afraid that the rain will pour in, but the fields outside have been destroyed, and they can't judge whether they can grow food on the land next year. If there is no food, it will cut off everyone's way of life. Fortunately, after a few years of apocalypse , People have not learned anything else, self-comforting and big-hearted, there must be a road to the front of the mountain, even if there is no road, they have lived for so long, even if they die immediately, it is worth it, so the acid rain on the ground keeps going, and the people underground are still I am busy with my own.

The area of ​​the entire underground base has expanded to a very large size. The area of ​​Wujia Village may not be large or small, but their base has already hollowed out an area as large as the ground of Wujia Village, and even a large part of it has penetrated into the surrounding mountains. , and now because of digging the exit, they discovered that they had already crossed the surrounding mountains and entered the range of Tuli Village. It doesn’t look like much from the map, but if you measure it with your feet in the base, you can know that the base is already very large. up.

Such a large base naturally needs more vents. The old site of the base has less space than the new site, and the corresponding locations on the ground are relatively familiar. Most of the vents are in the houses, or It is a relatively safe and reliable location, but the area of ​​the new site is too large. The corresponding ground in many places is not in the city, so there is no guarantee in terms of safety. People took corresponding protective measures when it was built. Unfortunately, with the increase of ground water, many ventilation The opening became a water leak, and finally people had to raise the vent again. This method did work at first, and the rainwater stopped leaking in, but with the accumulation of corrosive substances in the rainwater, the ventilation of the vent The protection was slowly disintegrated, and many small gaps invisible to the naked eye appeared. Rainwater trickled in along the gaps and seeped in along the walls little by little.

The canteen at the old site saw a second period of prosperity because the number of people dining every day did not decrease. However, due to the reform of the base system, many chefs applied to seek their own way outside, so the canteen was busy again. One person is used by one person as three people. The heavy work makes the chefs have no time to take care of the occasional sound of water dripping from the kitchen, and no one finds that there is a water leak in the corner of the second kitchen of No. 30, which is facing the leaking Below the position is a shelf, and many cleaned tableware are neatly placed on the shelf...

That night when Qiao Miwei was about to go to bed, Zhang Shuilai suddenly rushed into Taoyuan and shouted in a panic, "Head, head, it's not good, go out and have a look."

Qiao Miwei lit the oil lamp again, put on some clothes and stood up. When she opened the door and went out, she saw that Qin Zhiyuan had already come out and was talking to Zhang Shui. There are no statistics yet, but the situation is not optimistic.”

Not optimistic? "What's wrong?" Qiao Miwei couldn't help feeling a little flustered.

Qin Zhiyuan turned his head and said, "I don't know how the rain outside entered the base. Many people have already developed symptoms of discomfort."

At this time, Qiao's father, Qiao's mother, and Sun Ying and his wife also got up. Hearing that something happened in the base, everyone hurriedly changed their clothes and went out. Now they have all moved to the new site of the base, so the speed to the lobby of the new site is not slow. Here There are already people everywhere, but everyone's face is full of panic, and many people's wailing can be heard in their ears. Qiao Miwei and Qin Zhiyuan split up and went to the infirmary and the kitchen to check the situation. I saw those who had the disease again, and things finally became clear in the middle of the night. It turned out that there was a leak in the kitchen, and the tableware was stained with corrosive rainwater. The toxin began to attack in about an hour, and soon, the number of people who fell ill was counted. There were more than 2 people who ate at the canteen at the old site that night. The meal time lasted from 32:1000 p.m. There are seven to eight thousand people who have eaten in the cafeteria No. 600. Among them, more than [-] people have eaten with tableware contaminated by rainwater. Up to now, more than [-] people have become ill, and some people have not responded so far. However, no response does not mean that it is safe, so these people have been collected and checked. Fortunately, the tableware will be cleaned after being used once and put into second use immediately, so it is not afraid that more people will be poisoned.

It’s just that these 600 people were helpless. In the early days, they knew that the rainwater contained acid, but later it became more and more corrosive, and all kinds of substances could not escape the fate of being corroded. At that time, the rainwater contained acid. It’s not just soreness, and there is no symptomatic medicine in the base, so I can only watch these people in pain. In the second half of the night, those people who were checked also showed many reactions of different degrees and symptoms. Since the first death, the number of deaths has increased geometrically like a collapsing domino, and the death is horrific. Corrosive substances are swallowed into the stomach, and those toxic substances will not be decomposed. The speed corrodes people's internal organs, and finally dies through the intestines. This way of death is too painful. Many people choose to end their lives early because they can't bear the pain. In the end, people in the medical room took out marijuana to let people Ingested for temporary pain relief, these marijuana plants were chemically grown and originally prepared as a dyeing ingredient, and no one would have guessed that they would end up in this place.

After dawn, Zhang Shuilai came to report the results with his red eyes open. In just one night, more than 300 people died, and many more people were struggling to die. He came to ask what should be done next. Those who died What should be done with the corpses of the dead, and what should be done with those who are alive.

This is the first time since the end of the world that Qin Zhiyuan feels helpless. Such a disaster is more difficult than an earthquake. The only thing they can do is to watch people die one after another. The relatives of those people have long since fainted from crying. How many times have I passed by? At the beginning, Qiao Miwei organized people to help take care of some, and also comforted those who were alive to mourn, but there were too many people who died, and the whole base was shrouded in gloom. She persuaded Instead, she began to cry along with those people, not because she was weak and loved to cry, but because the conditions of those struggling to survive were too miserable, which made people feel sad.
