The leaders of City A looked ugly.

"PH0? What's the difference between this and concentrated acid raining from the sky? It's impossible. There's no conditions for such acid rain to form!"

"Not to mention that the whole world is going to suffer from this acid rain, which is nonsense!"

"I'm afraid this is deliberately done to scare people."

But there are also people who are really worried.

"Then how do you explain this canopy? How do you explain this sound coming from the sky?"

Those who said nonsense suddenly became speechless.

If it is some kind of high technology, then why have they never heard of it? There can be no such terrible high technology.

"I heard that this canopy can only be seen in City A. If you leave City A, even if you take a step outside, you will immediately lose sight and hearing."

If you can't see it, you can say that there may be some kind of barrier in the air, which uses the principle of light propagation. But what can you say if you can't hear the sound?

It's so weird that it can't be explained by common sense.

And since the sky that cannot be explained by common sense has appeared, it does not seem impossible that there will be another acid rain that cannot be explained by common sense.

Suddenly one person said: "Whether what this sky curtain says is true or not, we will know if there will be acid rain in our city tonight."

Everyone was silent. Yes, there was indeed acid rain in City A in the 1980s due to large amounts of coal burning. However, due to economic structural reform and vigorous environmental protection, the situation gradually improved. There has been no acid rain for more than 20 years. , and the monitoring system did not issue any alarms.

Therefore, it stands to reason that there is no chance of acid rain tonight.

On the other hand, if acid rain really occurs tonight, it proves that what this canopy says is true.

Everyone looked at the mayor.

The mayor looked solemn, looking at the tragic scenes on the canopy, and said solemnly: "Go and find out the origin of this canopy, and inform all citizens of City A to be prepared. After dark, the houses will be closed and no travel will be allowed. The whole city will be silent. .”

At this point, he added: "Immediately arrange for people to go to the towns below to check. Anyone whose homes are not capable of resisting acid rain will be moved immediately."

"Inventory of anti-corrosive appliance materials in the city."

"All underground passages, underground shopping malls, and large venues will cease operations immediately, take over, and be prepared to allow people to take shelter."

"All schools, factories, and businesses will suspend classes and work in the afternoon and evacuate people. After 5 p.m., all transportation will be suspended."

Orders came out from the mayor's mouth one after another, and people quickly wrote them down.

Finally, the mayor said: "That's all for now. For the rest, let's convene a meeting of experts to discuss how to resist acid rain and its subsequent effects."

With such a prepared look, he obviously took what Tianmu said as true.

Some people hesitate to speak.

The mayor said: "If everything is false, it is just a waste of time, but if what the sky says is true, if we do more, we may save many more lives."

"Go do it, time is running out."

Everyone said in unison: "Yes!"

At this time, the picture of the sky is still going on, and the voice of "Weizi" is also going on. [This acid rain almost destroyed most of human society, and every acid rain in the apocalypse has brought terrible losses, and the fields have lost their harvest. , water pollution, road damage, house collapse, massive extinction of animals and plants, and countless people died. 】

[The living people also died miserably due to the loss of shelter, lack of food, water and medicine, and various diseases caused by acid rain. In just six months, more than 95% of the population was lost. 】

The scene on the sky screen became darker and crueler. The high-rise buildings in the city were beyond recognition. Only a few steel bars were left to support the twin buildings in the city, which looked particularly sad.

The bridge across the river has long since fallen into the river, and the water is covered with fish, shrimp and even mutilated human corpses.

The ground is full of ruins and garbage, and corpses are everywhere. The living people are wearing tattered raincoats, heavy oilcloths, and various forms of protective clothing. The exposed skin is red, swollen and ulcerated, and their eyes are numb and dull. It is almost impossible to search among the ruins. Food that may be present.

If you find something to eat, you can't wait to eat it, and then the acidic substance on it will burn through your esophagus, and you will scream in pain, or fight with each other, fight to the death, and some people even directly kill people and eat human flesh.

"vomit!"

"vomit!"

The people below were disgusted by the sight.

It was lunch time at this time. Some people had just finished eating, and some were eating. Now there was a direct shooting, and there were sounds of nausea and vomiting in the streets and alleys.

Then he yelled: "What is this! Who made this video? It's so vicious!"

"How can you eat people! Don't you know about prions?"

"Don't even think about it. If you really can't live anymore, why do you care about the virus?"

"Don't we have a lot of food reserves in our country? Even if the fields fail to harvest, there won't be anything to eat right away, right?"

"Didn't you see? The roads have been corroded by acid rain, the bridges are broken, and the cars are probably broken down. Oh, not many people have died. Even if there is food, it can't be transported. And who knows about the granary? Not damaged by acid rain.”

"No, there is always something that can carry acid rain, right? Isn't the sulfuric acid still in a glass bottle?"

The sky screen suddenly turned and came to another place. However, for some reason, the picture quality suddenly dropped several degrees and the picture became a little blurry. However, it could still be seen that it was a house made of strange materials. .

[Some people are lucky. They have obtained materials with strong anti-corrosion properties and built shelters for themselves. 】

The picture turned again, and it seemed to be an underground place where people in white coats were busy working.

[Half a year after the end of the world, scientists finally developed paints, crops, and medicines that were resistant to strong acids. However, at this time, the population dropped sharply, machines were destroyed, raw materials were difficult to obtain, and productivity had dropped significantly. Even so, acid rain shelters were built with difficulty. 】

Seeing this, people breathed a sigh of relief.

It would be nice to get back up again. Although we have suffered a devastating blow, there is still hope for the future, right?

They didn't realize that they had completely become the people in the video, and their emotions fluctuated with the changes in the video content.

But then, the video took another sharp turn.

[However, at this time, the government team has changed several times, the army has also sacrificed its life in disaster relief operations one after another, and the decline of the state machinery has directly led to the shelter ushering in another struggle for power.

[Some shelters were destroyed in battles, and some shelters became privately owned. The rules of the shelters were completely set by individuals and individual forces. The people at the bottom were severely exploited and oppressed. 】

[The survivors can't get a day's peace, evil breeds, and human beings kill each other. Especially as scientific researchers fall one after another, human beings step by step into the abyss of destruction...]

In the sky, one person fell down, one shelter after another was destroyed by the war, people lost their shelter, were exposed to the acid rain again, screamed in despair, and finally became pools of fresh flesh and blood between heaven and earth.

This scene is like a heavy wave, hitting people's hearts, making people turn pale and can't help but retreat, as if to avoid this cruel scene.

"No, how is this possible?"

"This is the last place for human beings to live. Why fight? We will all die together in the end!"

"Fuck, how long has it been? You are still fighting for power. If you win, will you get a high bed and a soft pillow or a full banquet? Isn't the quality of life just as bad?"

[However, in this world-wide despair, there is an exception. That city can prevent the most terrible acid rain. There, there are even farms with herds of cattle and sheep, breeding areas with clear water, and high mountains. Xueshui is full of flowers, factories, workshops, hospitals, schools, and even amusement parks...]

The pictures in this last paragraph are not real scenes, but pictures made by AI software. Each frame is particularly bright and beautiful, like a world in a fairy tale, full of a sense of fantasy, especially compared to the tragic scene in front of it. The stark contrast to the gray apocalypse.

People were stunned.

"Let alone the apocalypse, even in the peaceful and prosperous times, I want to live in a place like this."

"So where exactly is this place? Let's make it clear!"

People opened their eyes and squinted their ears, trying to hear clearly what was behind them, but—

The female voice paused, and the hateful woman named Wei Zi said in a brisk voice [If you want to know the specific situation of this anti-acid city, please like Huahua to support it. The next video will help you understand. 】

people:! ! !

"Ahhh! Can't you finish what you said?"

"I don't want to whet my appetite like this!"

"Isn't this video just to promote this place? Is it some attraction?"

"Isn't it too much to just talk about the end of the world in order to promote this place?"

While people were talking about it, they saw a few helicopters flying around under the canopy, and they seemed to be shining lights on the canopy. They were obviously studying the canopy, but the distance was too far, and they couldn't see what they were studying.

Immediately, the sky gradually turned into darkness, and the four words "To be continued" appeared, and then disappeared completely.

And people discovered that small screens appeared in front of them, which seemed to be smaller versions of the marquee just now, with signs of likes, dislikes, and flowers.

Someone tried to like it, and it really succeeded. The screen disappeared. Someone clicked to dislike it, and the screen also disappeared.

Someone just waved his hand and scattered the screen. The screen also dispersed and did not appear again.

The sky is still blue, the sky is high and the clouds are light, the sun is shining brightly, it seems that nothing has happened.

If people hadn't taken photos and videos, they might have thought that everything just happened was just an illusion.

Then people started talking about it again, and all kinds of photos and videos really exploded on the Internet, like a plague, spreading to every corner and entering the eyes of people all over the world.

Most people just think it's some kind of black technology, special effects, gimmicks, etc. Some people think it's the intimidation of some illegal organization.

Only a few people take it seriously, and among these people, the majority are from City A.

There is no way, who allowed this marquee to appear in City A.

People in City A saw the sky with their own eyes. The direct impact and shock were unmatched by video.

Moreover, the video clearly mentions that there will be acid rain in City A tonight. It is so conclusive and the time is so close, it is not difficult to prepare.

The most important thing is that the city government actually sent a notice to everyone!

"I'm in a hurry! The town government sent me a warning text message! Let me prepare drinking water, check the house, get as much tap water as possible at home, and close the doors and windows tonight!"

"A text message from the Traffic Police Bureau said that the entire road section will be closed after 5 p.m.!"

"The village committee came directly to inspect the house and said that the houses in our village were not up to standard. They asked us to clean up the house, bring food and supplies, and gather the whole village at the activity center before dark!"

"Let our factory stop working. Once the machines stop, the losses will be huge. Our factory director will turn into a fire-breathing dragon!"

"My child's school sent me a message and asked me to pick up the child!"

"Are you crazy? Are you serious? You can't be such a childish kid!"

"If there was no acid rain tonight, would all the leaders of City A have to step down?"

Among the discussions, there were also those who were smart, quick-reacting, and worried-minded. They rushed to supermarkets and stores immediately and went shopping like crazy.

Some people go online to check what products are acid-proof and anti-corrosion, and then immediately buy them.

Some people feel that their windows that cannot be closed tightly and the roof that leaks are unsafe, so they immediately find something to repair them.

Some people are grabbing crops that are already harvestable in the fields.

Some people bring their parents and relatives to their homes, and some people leave their shabby rental huts to join friends or stay in hotels.

Some people drove out of city A immediately. City A is not safe. Should I go to the head office?

And in places that people don't know, people in high-risk areas have been quickly moved into buildings that can withstand acid rain.

Offshore fishing boats were called back urgently.

In some places, sirens sounded in the sky.

The more prepared and acted, the more it looked like there was a god of death chasing after him with a sickle in his hand.

Emotions will spread. Gradually, everyone in the city becomes nervous. Those who don't take it seriously begin to feel that if they don't prepare something, it's as if they are missing a layer of protection, and they feel very panicked.
