Chapter 85 Chapter 85(2/2)
, was actually very energetic. They had killed quite a few rats in their lives, but they were unable to do anything to this rat.
"I'll do it." Qiao Qingqing took the cage away and disposed of it.
She wouldn't let her mother go out: "I'll go!" She was afraid of encountering mice again, which would jump everywhere, and she was afraid that her mother would not be so lucky next time and would be in trouble if she tripped and fell.
The whole building seemed to be in danger of being invaded by the desperate and even more crazy rats, but the crisis was also an opportunity. In the evening, they smelled a strange smell of barbecue.
"Did you smell it? It smells a bit familiar, but I can't remember what it smells like."
Seeing Shao's mother thinking hard, Qiao Qingqing said: "It should be the kind of mice our family caught. When we passed by the roasted mouse stall in the market, it smelled like this. It might have a bit more of the smell of acid rain, so it smelled like that.
It looks a little weird."
Shao's mother suddenly realized.
"It's been several days since the last time we distributed supplies. The acid rain hasn't stopped and the supplies can't be delivered. Maybe some people don't have food at home. Alas, when will this rain stop?" Qiao Songzhi sincerely hopes that the rain will stop, even if
Next is the eternal night that her daughter talks about. She also thinks that eternal night is better than acid rain. At least everyone can go out to work without the death threat caused by this damn acid rain.
"I don't know how Sheng'an and the others are doing now, whether the work in the factory is going smoothly, by the way! I don't know which factory they are going to!"
Qiao Qingqing said: "I must be busy at work. If there is a chance, Sheng'an will definitely send a message back."
The second acid rain fell for half a month, and many people's homes were almost out of food and ammunition.
Once the acid rain stopped, the survivors who were short of supplies no longer cared about the stagnant water on the ground. They went out looking for opportunities to earn supplies in a variety of ways, leaving their families at home waiting for planes to deliver relief supplies.
After the rain stopped, the plane team quickly started to deliver supplies to the entire base as quickly as possible. Shao Sheng'an's message was also sent by someone at this time. The person who came was Liu Zi, who had thick and high shoes on his feet.
The wooden board was made of wood, and the calf was wrapped with several layers of waterproofing. When she knocked on the door of Qiao Qingqing's house, she was panting.
He brought the news that Shao Sheng'an and his son were hired by the factory: "They are all in the cannery. Brother Shao and Uncle Shao are in the production workshop. Brother Xiao Fei and I are in the warehouse. Brother Xiao Fei is very good at work. The team
Chang praised him for his strength. This batch of supplies included cans made by our factory. Brother Xiaofei and I loaded them up and sent them out to the warehouse... Our warehouse happened to be emptied, so we took a vacation and knew that I had to go home.
, Brother Shao asked me to deliver the message. Brother Xiao Fei? Brother Xiao Fei is also on vacation, but Brother Shao is worried about him going out, he is still in the dormitory..."
This news made Qiao Qingqing and the others completely relieved. The six sons had to go home, so Qiao Qingqing didn't keep him for dinner and only gave him two rice balls. He happily went home with the rice balls. Shao's mother was so happy that she only chanted the Buddha's name. Shao Shengfei
Being able to work like a normal person is a joy comparable to when Shao Sheng'an was admitted to a prestigious school.
"You should feel at ease now." Qiao Songzhi patted her arm and said warmly.
Shao's mother choked and nodded.
As the days passed, the research institute finally came up with materials to resist acid rain, but because the production could not keep up, the public could not get it for the time being. Many shops closed down and many people lost their jobs, although the base is now increasing production and recruiting many workers.
, but the base number of hundreds of thousands of people in the entire base is too large. The newly opened factories and new production lines are quickly filled with people, and the unemployment dilemma can only be slightly alleviated by relief supplies.
In the past, when dense fog hit, people could still go out as long as they were well protected, but acid rain completely trapped people in buildings. As time went by, problems began to occur, and evil cults seized the opportunity to grow and spread rapidly.
Eschatology is no longer new in recent years, and the base has severely cracked down on cults in recent years. However, due to the general environment, some people need to seek psychological comfort and support. On the surface, no cultists dare to show their faces, but secretly, secretly
There are so many evil cults that are developing.
But those evil believers did not dare to cause trouble, defraud money and sex, and satisfy their selfish desires for pleasure until the acid rain came.
Acid rain always falls for a period of time and stops for a period of time, torturing people's nerves all the time. The first three days after the acid rain stops are the period when people feel the most secure. After that, the sense of security gradually weakens until it drops to a negative number. Who
No one knows when the next wave of acid rain will return, bringing murderous intent, so after three days the streets will quickly become deserted, without even a single person.
This kind of psychological torture has given rise to many suicides by jumping off buildings. The "holy bath" cult took advantage of the situation and believed that acid rain is "holy water". Only by bathing in the holy water can one wash away mortal bones, gain new life, and ascend to heaven. The holy bath cult |
Believers seized every opportunity without acid rain to preach and recruit believers. Inconvenient transportation, coupled with the inability of the base's top management to allocate their energy, actually allowed the cult to intensify, and large-scale baptismal activities began to occur in various places.
Someone on the floor where Qiao Qingqing's house is located believed this and often knocked on the door to preach. They were extremely fanatical. The iron door on the seventh floor blocked the opponent, so the person knocked on the door frantically. Later, it was Qiao Qingqing who took a kitchen knife out and forced the person back.
.
But that man never gave up and read the teachings aloud in the corridor every day, as if he was very pious.
Qiao Qingqing has only one thing to say to her family members: "Don't listen! Don't watch!"
Some radical believers will even smash the doors of other people's homes, drag them out, and use coercive means to "persuade" them to join in the baptism.
A few days later, the religious neighbor also evolved in this direction. Late one night, the man smashed the neighbor's door with a kitchen knife, scaring others so that they did not dare to go out.
Shao's mother listened to the sound of knocking on the door outside and spoke very quickly: "Are those people crazy? This is murder, this is murder!"
"They are crazy. Fortunately, there is an iron gate to stop them. Mom, don't be afraid."
It is impossible not to be afraid. There is a lunatic in the building who is shouting that he will take you to heaven as soon as possible. Who can not be afraid?
After the rain stopped, supplies were delivered, and now I had to go out.
They met the neighbor who knocked on the door. He was smiling and talking, and seemed normal. However, this normal combination led to him shouting like crazy that night and banging on the door. The scene was weird and scary.
"Oh, you are so stupid! I only thought about you because we are all neighbors, but you didn't appreciate any of them, and I was so sad!" The man smiled and said, "How about you guys?
Think about it again, next time I will take you to bathe in the holy water together, and together we can get rid of the suffering in this world and ascend to heaven together to become immortals!"
Everyone felt creepy looking at his eager and crazy look.
A neighbor grabbed the family's hand and whispered: "How could he believe this? Is he crazy?"
"Shh, his whole family is gone. He must have suffered a mental problem because of the severe shock."
"Ahem! Divide the supplies quickly, what are you doing?"
Hurry up and go home and lock the door. What if you get infected after staying with a madman for too long?
After the supplies were distributed, everyone left quickly. The man watched the neighbors leave with a smile. Shao's mother looked back. The man nodded to her, which scared her and turned back quickly.
When people from the security team passed by, Qiao Qingqing went downstairs to report it, and the security team took the man away.
Everyone thought that the man could survive. After all, the people from the security team had said that people infected by the cult were just deluded, and they would get professional help to wake up. There was a man in the next building who was imprisoned for half a month and came back.
Future generations are already normal.
Until the next acid rain season, a big event happened in Ping An Community.
It was an ordinary day in an acid rain day. There was no one on the street. People hiding at home were checking windows and walls. Some people’s houses were old and had holes corroded by acid rain. The acid was harmful to people’s lives.
The liquid gurgled into the house, leaving small bubbling ditches.
"Bring the bucket! Hurry!"
"This place is going to be broken. Has the cement been mixed? Hurry!"
Some people strive to survive, while others choose to end their mortal lives on this day to gain a more transcendent eternal life because of the truth they believe in or to escape reality.
The place where the projection program was originally played at the gate of Ping'an Community gathered hundreds of people silently after the acid rain came. They held various tools to keep out the rain and remained silent in the acid rain.
Many people stood outside the window and looked out of the window in horror.
The leader threw away the wooden weatherboard, raised his arms, waved the cane in his hand, and shouted, "The holy bath begins!"
The believers excitedly threw away their rain-proof props one by one. They chanted slogans devoutly and knelt on the ground to pray for the mercy of the holy water. The moment the acid rain completely wet them, they cheered that their prayers came true, as if
No physical pain can be felt at all. But devout beliefs will eventually collapse in the pain of reality. Some people are in so much pain that they cannot recite the teachings, scream in the acid rain, and crawl away, and more people are running away.
In the pain, he strengthened his faith, raised his head, opened his mouth, spread his arms, and completely covered himself with the acid rain...
Qiao Qingqing didn't see that scene.
But the sound was like a magic sound, coming from outside one after another. Her home was in Building 20, and she could clearly hear the painful but happy screams of those people. It was extremely weird and terrifying!
For several days in a row, Qiao Songzhi and Shao's mother had nightmares, and Qiao Qingqing had to prescribe tranquilizing drugs to them.
After that, acid rain fell for twenty days. After it stopped, the Ping An community was completely silent, and almost no one dared to go out.
After the courageous residents went out, they did not see any horrifying and cruel scenes at the gate. The place was clean, and there was no trace except that the ground was corroded by successive acid rains and became an inch thin.
It's so clean, as if those screams that give people nightmares all night long are just illusions.
But wanting to go deeper makes people even more dizzy. Almost no one dares to walk on that land. When they want to go out, the residents try to walk as close to the wall as possible. They just regret that they can't fly and can't fly out of the community far away from the land.
