After raining for a day and a night, the acid rain stopped like a memory.
But the impact of acid rain does not stop just because the rain stops, because the water in the high-temperature acid rain is evaporated, and acid fog is everywhere.
Acid mist has little effect on the skin. At most, it makes the skin rough, but it has a particularly great impact on the respiratory system.
After the water on the ground dried up, Chen Yuanyuan and Shen Yichen put on protective clothing and left the water and electricity room. The wild birds that had been hit by acid rain two days earlier had now turned into withered bones.
"My car is gone too." Chen Yuanyuan looked at where the bicycles were parked. Only some old bicycles were left, and the paint on them had long been worn away by acid rain.
"Let's go back to Hecheng base first." Shen Yichen said.
"Okay." Chen Yuanyuan took out the RV and followed Shen Yichen back to the Hecheng base.
After approaching the Hecheng base, and after the mobile phone reconnected to the wifi in the base, a new message notification popped up on the Guangdong residents' out-of-town help account of Yue Cheng Tong.
[Residents of Guangdong City seek help from other places - Hecheng: Due to the impact of acid rain, a special evacuation point for residents of Guangdong City is now set up. It is located at Yuekang Supermarket on the left side of the gate of Yihua Community in Qinglong District. You can find it at Yue City in Hecheng Base Go and seek asylum. 】
"Morning, there is a shelter for residents of Guangdong City in the base. Should we go?"
"We are going on a trip. When I talked to the base director that day, he asked me to take a look." Shen Yichen said.
"Okay." Chen Yuanyuan didn't know that Shen Yichen was busy, so she asked him to stay in the space.
"I'll take a look and come out. It won't take long." Shen Yichen thought that Chen Yuanyuan didn't like that he had to deal with official duties during the holiday.
"It's okay. Let's go in and stay for a while. It's not convenient to walk around outside now. But when did you contact the base director?" Chen Yuanyuan has never met the base director. Most of the internal affairs of the base are handled by Xin Yuanyuan. The newly appointed deputy base commander attended, and many times the base was out in the field communicating with other bases.
"When you left me alone in the water and electricity room." Shen Yichen said with a slightly aggrieved tone.
"Okay, is there anything lacking over there?" Chen Yuanyuan said awkwardly.
"There is no problem with food and use, but there is a bit of water shortage." Shen Yichen looked at the messages on his phone and said.
Although many residents at home immediately turned on the faucets to store fresh water when they discovered acid rain was coming, but the supermarkets were all residents of Guangdong City, so there was no way to store some water.
The evacuation point is located in a supermarket, but some factories that have nothing to do with survival, such as the apocalyptic plastic factory, have basically not resumed operation, so bottled water is not sold in the store.
Chen Yuanyuan took out two boxes of mineral water from the space, and then took out another box of mineral drinks.
"I'll support it a little bit, won't it be strange?" Chen Yuanyuan said.
Normally, she mainly drinks spiritual spring water, so she basically never uses the drinking water she stocked up. However, she suddenly took out three boxes of drinks, and she didn't know if it would arouse suspicion.
"Just break the packaging a little, and just say you found it outside. If you ask me again, I won't give you a drink, haha." Shen Yichen said.
Now, due to acid rain, only the west gate of Hecheng Base was open. The two went around to the west gate and entered the city smoothly. They followed the map of Hecheng Tour to find Yuekang Supermarket.
When he arrived at the supermarket, Shen Yichen carried three boxes of water out of the car.
"What about the car?" Although there is no acid rain now, I am still worried about being affected by the acid fog if I keep it outdoors.
"Put it away. There is no surveillance here." Shen Yichen said.
After Chen Yuanyuan took the RV back into space again, she stepped forward to share a box of water with Shen Yichen.
"Is there anyone there?" Shen Yichen knocked on the closed door of the supermarket.
After some conversations came from inside, a middle-aged man's voice came from behind the door.
"Who?"
"I am Shen Yichen, the commissioner assigned by the base to assist." Shen Yichen said.
"Okay, please wait." The middle-aged man closed the door. About ten seconds later, the help number on Shen Yichen's mobile phone came.
The man behind the door opened the door after hearing his cell phone ring.
"Come in, hurry up." The middle-aged man said after helping to take Chen Yuanyuan's water.
After the two entered the supermarket, they took off their protective clothing and kept the air conditioner on in the supermarket, so there was no strong acid mist in the air.
Shen Yichen mentioned on the way just now that this Yuekang Supermarket is officially self-operated by the base. Chen Yuanyuan looked around after coming in. She originally thought it was just a small supermarket, but she didn't expect it to be quite large.
"There is air conditioning here." Chen Yuanyuan felt cool.
Acid rain damaged some power supply facilities, so there were partial power outages just after we entered the city. When we entered Qinglong District just now, there was basically a power outage.
"Hecheng is developing in full swing, and the power supply facilities cannot keep up for a while and there are always power outages. The base transferred a mini electrostatic generator two months ago, which just solved the power supply problem." Li Tiecheng said.
The middle-aged man also introduced himself. It turned out that he was Li Tiecheng, an expatriate from the Guangdong Base, who was responsible for all Guangdong affairs at the Hecheng Base.
"Sorry, because after the news of the evacuation site spread in the morning, many people from other bases came over, and some had ID cards of Guangdong residents, so their identities had to be verified." Li Tiecheng explained.
"It is also a good thing to be cautious during this period." Shen Yichen said.
"Who is this?" Li Tiecheng looked at Chen Yuanyuan and asked.
"I am his girlfriend Chen Yuanyuan, and I am also from the Guangdong base." Shen Yichen said.
Upon seeing this, Chen Yuanyuan immediately opened Yue Cheng Tong to prove her identity, but was immediately interrupted by Li Tiecheng.
"No, no, no, Yichen is the person appointed by the base director, I can trust him." Li Tiecheng said.
At this time, someone came to Li Tiecheng and said that the child had a fever. The medicine was found but there was no clean water, only slightly acidic filtered water.
"This is the water we searched outside before. We just put it in the car to temporarily solve the drinking water problem." Shen Yichen pointed to the three boxes of water on the ground.
"This is really life-saving water. It solves the urgent need now." Li Tiecheng said.
Li Tiecheng asked the people who came to carry the water to his office first, and then took one bottle for the children to drink first, and then divided the rest after he came over.
At this time, Chen Yuanyuan noticed that Li Tiecheng's face also had traces of burns from acid rain, so she took a tube of burn medicine from her pocket and handed it to him.
"Thank you. I'll give it to the kids later. We adults have all applied some toothpaste, so it won't be a big problem." Li Tiecheng said.
"Are there any children? How many people are there in total?" Chen Yuanyuan didn't see many people after coming in, so she asked curiously.
"Including the three of us, there are twenty-six people in total, including two children. They are at the very back. The air is better over there." After Li Tiecheng said that, he took Chen Yuanyuan and Shen Yichen over.
