You Xi has always been cautious, because she knew that acid rain would come tonight. Inside the several unsealed windows in the entire villa, all the movable nano-ceramic alloy plates had been pulled down, except for the space where she was now.

This space is her bedroom, with a bathroom, dressing room and a study room, which is very large.

There are windows in the bathroom, bedroom and study room. Fortunately, they are not floor-to-ceiling windows, and you can completely isolate them from the outside by pulling the board.

The alloy plate of the study window was open, and through the safety strip, she saw traces of water crawling on the glass.

You Xi got up, put on protective gloves, opened a small window and used a ph measuring instrument to dip some rainwater into it to measure.

The ph value of the rainwater at this moment is 53, which is mild acid rain. According to the information she checked online, in the past twenty years, cities all over the planet have experienced some such mild acid rain from time to time.

This level of acid rain is not very harmful if you are exposed to it once in a while, but if you are exposed to it frequently, it will have a corrosive effect on the skin and cause hair loss and some respiratory diseases.

There are also many cities where the pH value of acid rain occasionally drops below 40.

People were panicked at first, but as time went by, they gradually got used to it. Now, for people in Sail City, such rain is normal. Some hard-headed people can’t even hold an umbrella. Others are more cautious.

People will take shelter, be careful not to let the rain get into their hair and skin, and wash their hands and face with soapy water when they go home.

Because soap is alkaline, it can neutralize acidic gases on the skin.

After that, every half hour, she will measure the pH value of the rainwater.

After several measurements, the pH value has always been between 53 and 56, which is still within the range of mild acid rain.

Several cars were parked in the driveway in front of the villa next door, and she could clearly hear the music there from some distance away. Feng Xu seemed to be having a party.

His parties were much crazier than hers. She knew that there was a glass room with a swimming pool in his villa, which was his favorite place to hold parties - a swimsuit party. At this moment, there were at least a dozen people gathered inside, drinking, chatting and enjoying food.

There were also guests who came to the party and took a fancy to the friend brought by another guest. They came out of the villa and ignored the rain, standing under the tree in a hidden part of the courtyard, chatting quietly.

You Xi's hearing is so good that she can even hear the other person's earthy love words clearly. After taking the third [Powerful Anti-sugar Pill], she found that she was gradually able to control some of her sensory abilities.

For example, hearing, if there are too many people nearby and it is too noisy, she can lower those sounds appropriately, or cover this strong hearing in a certain range.

Of course, she is not yet proficient in using this kind of control. It is like learning to ride a bicycle. She has succeeded and failed several times. Now she is exploring better control methods little by little.

Near 11:30 p.m., she measured the pH value of the rainwater again. This time, the value suddenly fell below 5 and jumped to 44.

The pH value is 44, which is already in the category of heavy acid rain, but it is still far away from the pH value of 0-1 of ordinary sulfuric acid.

In this world, acid rain of this level is only a "need to be careful" category, because if it falls on human skin, there will be no immediate reaction.

She turned her head and shouted "TV" towards the wall. Colors and pictures gradually appeared on the wall beside her. It was a transparent flat-panel voice-activated TV. When turned off, it was like a mobile phone. It was thin and transparent and could almost be ignored.

She used voice control to switch to the news channel, which happened to be the late-night news time. At this time, a summary of the whole day's news was played, with occasional updates on the latest news.

But until midnight, there was no interruption of acid rain in the news. Instead, the scrolling subtitles at the bottom of the news screen showed that heavy acid rain will fall in a certain area tonight, and we hope that people will pay attention to protection and reduce going out. This is a very stereotyped notice.

In the world picture, this kind of notice will always appear once or twice a month. After all, it is a heavy industrial city, and factories emit large amounts of sulfur dioxide and nitrogen hydride into the air; there are many cars, and a large amount of exhaust also contains nitrogen oxides, and

Hydrocarbons.

Nitrogen oxides react with water to form strong acid, which is nitric acid type acid rain, while sulfur dioxide forms sulfuric acid type acid rain.

Therefore, the rainwater in Sail City is always acidic.

Thirty years ago in this world, things like this would have caused panic. Afterwards, various rectification restrictions were made and efforts were made to improve the air quality. However, every time the air environment improved, people who had healed their scars and forgot about the pain would make the same mistakes again.

.

It has been repeated over and over until now, everyone has become desensitized.

Just like a child herding sheep, they cry wolf too many times. When the wolf does come, no one believes it, or even... no one pays attention.

The ph value of the rain tonight did not stop at around 40 as before, but went all the way down. When she measured it again at 0:30, the ph value had slipped to 30, which was close to the 29 of acetic acid.

You Xi had no intention of continuing the monitoring. She closed the alloy plate of the study window, washed herself, changed into pure cotton short-sleeved home clothes, and went to bed to rest.

The traceless alarm device in the yard has been turned on, and the villa is tightly wrapped in nano-ceramic alloy plates. She has nothing to do for the time being. She needs to rest early and recuperate before she can face the city that will be hit by acid rain tomorrow.

The party next door was still going on, and someone proposed to change the scene and go to a nearby hot pot restaurant for a late-night snack, and they all agreed.

Because everyone's cars were parked in the driveway outside the villa, the distance was very close, and the rain was not too heavy, so most people did not bring rain gear. Everyone stepped out of the villa and walked quickly towards the car in the rain, walking in the

The person at the front suddenly started wailing.

"It hurts, it hurts! It hurts so much when the rain hits me!" The man covered his exposed arm and hurriedly covered his face.

The people following him subconsciously raised their heads towards the sky, and the next second they let out a mournful cry: "Eyes! My eyes..."

He felt that his eyes were not splashed with rainwater, but splashed with boiling oil. They hurt and burned so much that he couldn't open them at all.

He reached out to pull the person standing next to him to ask for help, but in the end he used too much force and pulled the person directly onto him.

The man was already feeling tingling pain in his cheek and scalp, and the pulling made the pain even more severe. Neither of them could stand still, and both fell down, blocking the first man's attempt to turn around and return to the villa.

The three people fell on the lawn. After their palms, arms and cheeks came into contact with the water-filled lawn, they screamed in pain again.

It felt like falling into a frying pan or being set on fire. The whole body was surrounded and licked by the high temperature. No matter how they shook their hands and bodies and tried to get rid of the rain, they could not get rid of the heat.

Burning feeling.

The three of them were frightened and frightened. They tried their best to get up and get away from the lawn, but there was burning rain everywhere on the ground, around them, and on their bodies. The struggle to get up only made their skin come into contact with more.

The skin exposed to the rain turned red, and the surrounding grass gradually turned yellow and blackened at some point. There was still a pungent smell in the air, which made people's throats feel uncomfortable as well, as if they were stuck.

What kind of thorn is there?

The few people who went out later were frightened by the scene in front of them and took a few steps back. Finally, someone reacted and wanted to help. However, as soon as he stepped onto the lawn, he jumped in pain as soon as his body was exposed to the rain.

The man reacted quickly, swung his arm hard and stepped back. He looked at his arm that was shaking due to severe pain. The skin stained by the rain was red, as if he had been burned by high temperature, and his whole muscles were throbbing in pain.

"There's something wrong with the rain!" The man looked at the several people lying twitching on the grass outside the eaves, and reached out to stop other people behind who were trying to save people. His face was full of horror, "This, this is not rain, this...

This looks like sulfuric acid!"

The word "sulfuric acid" successfully froze everyone's figure. A group of people who had been drinking and listening to music not long ago had their heads dizzy. At this moment, it was as if a basin of ice water had been poured over their heads. They all woke up and showed horrified expressions.

On the lawn outside the villa, the screams of the three people became more and more shrill. Their red skin gradually turned brown and black, and white smoke emitted, as if they were being burned...

"What should I do, the three of them... will they die if this happens?"

"We can't just leave them alone! We have to rescue them!" Someone began to think of a way, and at the same time looked at the things that could be used in the house, "Get an umbrella! Get an umbrella quickly, block the rain and go out to save people!"

Everyone took a few umbrellas from the umbrella stand at the entrance of the villa and were about to rush out. Feng Xu, who came from the glass house swimming pool at the back, stopped them: "Umbrellas don't work! They're too thin! I didn't see the ones on them.

Are your clothes starting to get corroded? The acidity of this rain seems to be stronger than before!"

"What should we do?"

Feng Xu caught a glimpse of a thick large carpet in the living room: "Use this, the carpet is thick enough, it should be fine in a short time. Two people will hold the carpet up, and two more people will wrap their hands with clothes and drag them over! Move quickly!"

Hearing that Feng Xu started arranging to rescue people, some people stepped forward to cooperate, while a few people silently and tremblingly retreated towards the corners of the villa, away from the doors and windows, curling up in the hope that others would not discover their existence.

Feng Xu had long noticed the actions of those people from the corner of his eyes. They were all strangers, and he didn't recognize them. This kind of greedy and fearful guy didn't know which of his friends came to eat and drink for free. Normally, it would be fine.

Well, he has money and doesn't care about these things. There are so many people and it's so lively.

But now at this critical moment of life and death, a guy who only cares about himself is simply not a man. He silently memorized their faces and prepared to drag them into the blacklist together with the friends who brought them here.

Five or six people were already ready, carrying thick carpets on their heads, and planned to rush out from the gate. Feng Xu had his hands wrapped in thick towels, and stood in the middle, preparing to go out to rescue people together.

Several people under the carpet were very scared. There was a pungent smell in the air. As soon as they stepped out of the eaves, they were choked by the smell and the surrounding white smoke and couldn't open their eyes.

The person holding the carpet at the front was splashed with a few bits of flying acid rain. His hands shook in pain and the carpet almost slipped off.

"Hold on!" Feng Xu in the middle shouted, "Hold on!"

But the carpet could only protect the top of the head. No matter how big it was, there would still be rainwater splashing in from time to time. Everyone gritted their teeth and endured it. The distance of three or four meters was quickly reached. The three people on the ground were no longer moving. I don’t know what happened.

Fainted or died.

Feng Xu knelt down to check: "He's still alive! Help him up!"

Three people, each can save one, but imagination and execution are two different things.

After normal adults fall into coma, they cannot be lifted up by just one person, especially when acid rain is everywhere on their bodies. The people who rescue them are also afraid and cannot let go of their hands and feet, let alone hugging them directly.

Someone accidentally cut off the clothes wrapped around his hands. As soon as his skin came into contact with the other person's body, he immediately trembled in pain. The person who had managed to lift him halfway fell to the ground again.

"Master Feng, no! We can't save them all together, let's save one of them first!"

Feng Xu was gritting his teeth and enduring the pain to help one of them up: "No! Rescue them all in one trip! If they stay for a while longer, they probably won't survive!"

The two people looked at each other, but neither of them did as he said this time. They both went to help the other person at the same time.

"What are you doing! One person is helping the other!" Feng Xu shouted angrily.

But it was no use. A lot of acid rain was splashed on both of them, and their palms were burned from helping others. They had long since thought of quitting, and the courage they had to save others had long been overshadowed by the thought of quitting.

Within a few seconds of the stalemate, Feng Xu had already understood that he was not a good-tempered person. He scolded them for being timid and unmanly, and told them to do as they were told, otherwise they would never be friends again!

Normally, when Master Feng spoke, many people would follow his instructions, but at this moment, the abnormal acid rain and severe pain amplified the fear in their hearts.

How many people who grew up in peaceful times are truly brave and fearless and willing to sacrifice themselves for others?

The two people looked at each other and suddenly released their hands in unison, throwing the half-supported person to the ground again.

Feng Xu's face turned completely dark, and he was about to speak again when someone walked quickly holding an umbrella. He bent down and reached out to pick up an unconscious person from under the carpet they were holding. Then he quickly walked into the villa and brought

Man placed on the floor.
