Chapter 82


"Mom, how are you?" Shao Sheng'an took Qiao Songzhi up to the third floor, saw Qiao Songzhi covering her hands, and hurriedly asked.

"It's okay, it's okay."

Shao Shengan opened her hand, her eyes were red, the palm of Qiao Songzhi's right palm was red, and the skin on the palm was gone.

"Mom-mom, sit down and I'll take care of it for you." Shao Shengan unfastened his backpack and took out water, gauze, and ointment from it. Qiao Songzhi also carried a bag, or it should be said that the whole family carried this bag when they went out. The things were packed by Qiao Qingqing, just in case, there were food and medicine in it, and there was a thin one, which was only folded. A palm-sized outdoor first aid blanket.

He had talked to Qiao Qingqing that acid rain would definitely come, but he didn't know when it would come. Even if Qiao Qingqing remembered the exact time of the acid rain in his previous life, this life might be different.

But they can't hide at home all the time, just waiting for that day.

Life still has to go on, and you can't live in an atmosphere of tension and fear all the time. So after discussion, the two decided to provide the family with supplies first, in case the family would not be at a loss when the acid rain falls.

"Mom, I'll clean your wounds." The

water rushed through his palms, and Qiao Songzhi finally couldn't bear it anymore and let out a groan. Shao Shengan felt sad, moved quickly, rinsed Qiao Songzhi's palm with clean water, and then applied a layer of ointment to her.

After treating Qiao Songzhi's most serious palm, Shao Shengan cleaned her face and arm injuries. The wound on her neck could not be washed with water, so he wet the gauze and pressed it gently to absorb the acid on it. . Only after finishing all of them did he allow Qiao Songzhi to help him deal with them. During the process, he kept looking out the window with worry suppressed in his eyes.

"Don't worry, we've all agreed. In the event of danger, first find a place to hide, and then find a chance to go home. Your father works in the community and is the closest to home. Your mother, Feifei and Qingqing are all at the market. Yes, they must be all right."

"Can you lend me a little of your ointment?"

A man next to him came over and asked, Shao Shengan returned to his senses and looked at him cautiously: "No."

"Oh, little brother, do me a favor . Well! Everyone is a fallen person from the end of the world, help each other!"

Shao Shengan hesitantly looked at the gold ring on his hand, the man noticed it and scolded a profiteer. He wanted a gold ring in exchange for a ointment, robbing money. !

"I'm coming! Little brother, I'll buy it! Do you still have water? Add me another bottle of water and I'll buy it!" A female voice came, and at the same time, Shao Shengan was stuffed with an emerald-encrusted gold ring, "Give it to you. "

Hey, what are you doing! I want to buy it first!" Without a word,

Shao Shengan stuffed the woman with only one third of the ointment and a bottle of water, and put away the gold ring by himself.

Many people saw that their mother and son were treating their wounds. This ointment can no longer be put on the body, and it is safer to throw it out. There are also two ointments in his backpack, and three in the mother-in-law's backpack, enough for their subsequent injuries.

There was a quarrel over the ointment. Shao Shengan and Qiao Songzhi didn't mix in the corner at all. He unfolded the emergency blanket and wrapped Qiao Songzhi: "Mom, is it cold?"

"It's not cold, I have a lot of clothes on." So Saying that, Qiao Songzhi couldn't help shivering.

This made Shao Shengan attach great importance to it. He touched Qiao Songzhi's forehead and found that it was burning.

It's okay, he has anti-inflammatory and antipyretics, and Qingqing is ready.

Shao Shengan took the medicine calmly. When taking the medicine, he covered it with another emergency blanket and asked Qiao Songzhi to take the medicine.

"I'll be fine, I must have been frightened just now and tired from climbing the stairs. I'll be fine after a rest, don't worry." Qiao Songzhi patted his head.

"Okay, mom, go to sleep, I'll be watching over you."

His calm eyes implied vigilance, observing the people around him.

The relatively stable days at the Survivor Base in the past few years did not make him forget his experience in Jinyuan Community. Now everyone is still cursing the acid rain outside with the same enemy, but if they are trapped here all the time, and there is a shortage of food, something will happen sooner or later. Qingqing put compressed biscuits in her backpack. Their food reserve can last for a week, but can the two of them eat openly when others are starving? Besides the two of them, there are six refugees on the third floor, and the number of refugees on the second and first floors will not be small. What should we do then? Defending your food against everyone else?

Shao Shengan shook his head in his heart, Qingqing said that in his last life, the acid rain had rained for five days for the first time, and then there was a three-day safe period. After that, the acid rain sometimes disappeared. He had to take his mother-in-law back to the Ping An community during the "safe period" after the first acid rain. Just do it.

market.

Qiao Qingqing was so busy that her head was dizzy. She contributed the tube of ointment she used to unpack it, which had already been used up. The market management office said that there are standing drugs, but they are only ordinary iodophors, alcohol and gauze, and there is not a single antibiotic to reduce fever.

Many people were trampled to death, and the bodies were temporarily moved to the corner of the first floor.

More people were injured, and the seriously injured people died one after another, and some were still unwilling to leave. Run out.

How lively the market is at ordinary times, how serious the disaster will be. At night, darkness, cold and hunger make the atmosphere even heavier, and there are still corpses downstairs. Unable to squeeze any more, conflicts broke out several times. The market administrator got angry and said that he would drive people out, and only then did the riots downstairs be suppressed.

The exhausted Qiao Qingqing returned to Mother Shao and the others, making sure that they had not been bullied in the office all afternoon.

"Here you are." Mother Shao stuffed compressed biscuits into Qiao Qingqing's hand.

"Thank you Mom." Qiao Qingqing took a bite and chewed slowly, Shao Shengfei opened the bottle cap for her.

"Sister drinking."

"Thank you, brother."

"There are always people arguing outside. I'm worried about you."

"I'm fine, just do my best." I can change my family to a better place. is worth it. "Have you all eaten?"

"Have eaten, Feifei slept just now, this blanket is really useful, and it won't get cold when you wrap it up."

It was completely dark, and no one came in the office , Qiao Qingqing took out six pieces of fleece underwear from the space and asked Shao Mu and Shao Shengfei to put them on, and then they would not be able to see it when they put on their coats.

In the early winter night, it was hard to live without a bed and a quilt. Qiao Qingqing could only use this method to make the three of them feel better.

She took out the first aid blanket in her backpack and wrapped herself, and was about to lie down with her eyes closed when the door opened and five tired-looking market managers came in, one of them walked over to Qiao Qingqing and the others: "Doctor Qiao, this Here, if you don't have much food, you can eat something later."

"Thank you."

Qiao Qingqing and the others did not sit on the chairs in the office, they just sat on the ground against the wall to rest, the man asked them to sit, Qiao Qingqing shook his head: "No, We'll be fine, you can sit down." The

five started to eat dinner, chatting while eating: "I don't know when the rescue will arrive."

"Can the rescue come? The rain outside is poisonous, and the rescue car may be I can't handle it."

"Yeshan has an army, an army car, and what kind of tank can't it hold?"

"It should be able to carry it, alas, I really didn't expect it to be like this today, it's too miserable... " Stop talking

, eat quickly! Go downstairs to patrol after eating, and don't let them quarrel again."

After they finished eating, they went out, leaving only Qiao Qingqing and the other three in the office.

"Go to sleep and keep your spirits up." Qiao Qingqing said softly.

"Hey, listen to you, Feifei, come to sleep." On

the sixth floor of Building 20, Ping'an Community, Father Shao listened to Lu Ping's tossing sound in the living room, and stared into the darkness with his eyes open.

In the block, the shopkeeper began to charge the overnight room fee: "I can't help it, everyone is considerate and considerate of each other, let's pay whatever you want!" Shao Shengan grabbed the bag of apples when he got out of the car, and used one apple exchange rent.

The shopkeeper couldn't help swallowing while looking at the apple in his arms. He was able to open a store, and his family was not bad, but he was reluctant to buy apples of such good quality. The apples were big and red, and they also carried water vapor from the refrigerator. If you buy one of these similar apples at the market, you will need two kilograms of white rice.

"One is not enough for the two of you. Two, I'll give you another quilt."

"Deal."

He folded the quilt in half, sleeping half on the pad and covering it with Qiao Songzhi. Qiao Songzhi refused: "We are half of each other.

"Mom, just listen to me, you still have a little fever, but don't catch a cold, I'm not afraid of cold when I'm young. Shao Shengan stunned Qiao Songzhi to sleep, tucked her quilt, and then covered the first aid blanket over the quilt.

"You cover, I have the quilt enough. Shao Shengan didn't listen ,

and after she was done, let her go to bed quickly: "Mom, just wake you up, go to sleep." Qiao Songzhi felt that the

palm of her hand was still burning. The low-grade fever made her headache and dizziness. She had no energy. She closed her eyes and fell into various dreams.

This night, Shao Shengan sat next to her wrapped in an emergency blanket. , has been half asleep and half awake. The

chaotic day is over, but the new day is still full of challenges and crises.

Qiao Qingqing woke up crying, she opened her eyes and slowed down, her sleepiness gradually subsided, and her spirit gradually recovered. She listened and guessed that someone was gone, and family members or friends were crying. She sat up, leaned over and touched Shao's mother's and Shao Shengfei's foreheads, then unbuttoned the first aid blanket and stood up.

The office was full of people lying on the floor. In the middle of the night, she heard the door open and knew that the market manager had returned, so she didn't care and continued to sleep.

She didn't go out, she opened the curtain and looked out the window.

The acid rain was still falling, and she was fascinated by the thin layer of stagnant water on the road. They covered the ground, and a large amount of air bubbles appeared on the ground. It was very dangerous to look at. Looking into the distance, she saw a corpse dozens of meters away. The corpse was corroded by acid rain, the clothes became debris, and the corpse became an invisible corpse... She took a deep breath and looked away.

When the acid rain came in her previous life, she happened to be at home. The quality of the shanty is not good, and it can't stand the corrosion of acid rain. Fortunately, she has space. Although she is short of the most important materials, such as food and medicine, all kinds of rotten things are piled up in the space. There was water in the shed, and when the four legs of the bed were corroded, she put a table on the bed and kept replacing it. She was not afraid of leaking the ceiling. She squatted on the table and put a wooden board on her head to cover the rain, trying to protect herself.

During those five days, she wanted to give up several times, her back was sore, and her eyes were dark due to lack of sleep, but she listened to the sound of rain outside, the sound of rain falling on the roof, and the screams from other shacks from time to time. , just gritted his teeth and persisted.

When the rain stopped, she felt that her body was not like her own, and she still couldn't rest. She used two stools alternately and stepped on them to leave the shanty town. Horribly, she didn't encounter a single human being along the way, except for faint moans from certain shacks. After leaving the flooded area, she climbed off the stool, stumbled forward, dared not stop when she stepped on the rain, and rushed into the shopping mall that had just opened the door. She bumped into many people and was cursed by many people, but she did nothing. Care, find an empty seat and squeeze in, close your eyes and fall asleep instantly.

In the previous life, the acid rain lasted for five days when it first came, then rested for three days, and then fell without warning, and then followed irregularly, tormenting the survivor base for a full year.

"Has the rain stopped?"

Qiao Qingqing turned around and saw the man who asked her to help on the first floor yesterday got up. He stood up and rubbed his neck with bared teeth.

"No."

"Captain, can you contact the above?"

"My surname is Yue. Just call me Lao Yue. I can't contact the above. The communication has not been restored in recent years. I know you always think we have Special means of communication, but we really don't have it, at least at our level." Lao Yue yawned and said, "In the past few years, what is the magnetic field mentioned above? When there is an abnormality, they always say that they need to rebuild the communication channel, but it has never been possible. Maybe there are passages on the top that can be used, but I guess only a few people can reach them. Our small market management office really doesn't have them."

"Then, are there enough materials here?"

Lao Yue shook his head and didn't answer: "I'll go out and see. Look." Before leaving, he woke up his colleagues one by one, "Don't sleep, get up and work!"

Shao's mother and Shao Shengfei also woke up, and Qiao Qingqing saw that there was no one else in the office, so she took out breakfast for them from the space. Breakfast is a tasteless rice ball. There are shredded cucumber, salted egg yolk and meat floss in the rice ball. One is the size of a palm, and you will be full after eating one.

Seeing that Mother Shao was rubbing her neck, Qiao Qingqing pinched her twice, and Mother Shao soon felt much more comfortable in her neck.

"It's still raining? When can we go home?" Mother Shao asked.

"Wait a second, wait for the rain to stop." The situation in the

building was not good, and as people got up one after another, a new day of riots began.

Everyone's temper was aroused by the acid rain, and no one was still calm at this time.

"Why hasn't the rescue come yet?"

"Is there anything to eat, I'm so hungry."

"Do you smell bad? It smells like death."

"Remove your feet! You stepped on me! "

..."

Mother Shao was glad that they were able to settle down in the office, which was all thanks to her daughter-in-law. Compared with the chaos outside, the office is like a paradise. Qiao Qingqing reapplied the medicine to Shao's mother, and Shao's mother changed her medicine. The two looked in the mirror to see the injuries on their faces. Fortunately, the weather was cool and they dealt with the injuries in time. , the wound is recovering well. Qiao Qingqing expected scars, but the scars are not serious, and after applying some scar cream, it will fade away after a long time.

On the sixth day of the acid rain, the rain still did not stop. When the new day came down, the survivors in the building were already so noisy that the market administrator couldn't hold them back.

The dispute revolves around three points, one is rest space, the other is food and water, the third is medicine, and the fourth is theft.

People who were burned by acid rain but could not be treated, endured the pain caused by the festering wounds, and their tempers were not much better at all, and a little spark could ignite a violent temper.

Food and water, although the people from the market management office tried their best to coordinate and persuaded two vendors who brought supplies in to hide from the rain to sell the supplies to the market management office, it was still a drop in the bucket and there were too many people! Yesterday, Lao Yue brought people fully armed and rushed to a nearby food store to purchase, but only a little came back.

In terms of medicines, some of the people who set up the stall also sold their own ointment. It is said that the person sold the ointment at a high price, but the effect was a little mediocre.

Theft is the most frequent thing Qiao Qingqing hears of quarrels outside. People often say that things are lost, and the seedlings of doubt keep growing, but no one wants to be searched. The gun was fired, the sound of the gunshot was deafening, and the whole building fell silent in an instant.

In the next few days, Lao Yue would ask Qiao Qingqing to see the patient at first, but he stopped calling after that. Without medicines, she and the other doctor had no way to stop the infection caused by acid rain.

Qiao Qingqing and the others hid in the office, usually locked the door, and opened the door when Lao Yue and the others came in to rest.

Knowing that the rain will stop, Qiao Qingqing can still hold on, and her thoughts about her mother and Sheng An can only be suppressed by her. She should believe them, she said that they will be reunited at home, and they will all reunite safely at home.

"Open the door! Open the door!" The

vicious cry and the loud knock on the door interrupted Qiao Qingqing's thoughts. She frowned and stood at the door: "Who is it?" She knew that the people outside were not Lao Yue and the others, but the people on the sixth floor. The injuries were relatively minor. Lao Yue and the others focused on patrolling downstairs. They only patrolled once ten minutes ago, and they won't come up in a short time.

"Open the door if you want, what nonsense!"

"Qingqing!" Mother Shao also heard that the people outside were not good, she nervously took out the dagger in her backpack, let Shao Shengfei sit in place, and walked to Qiao Qingqing's side.

"Mom, don't be afraid."

Qiao Qingqing opened the door, and there were several people standing outside, both men and women.

The man who knocked on the door didn't expect the door to open suddenly, and was stunned for a moment.

"Is something wrong?"

Someone next to him stretched out his hand to push Qiao Qingqing, and said, "Get out of the way—ah!"

"Don't hit your sister!" Shao Shengfei stood up and shouted loudly.

Qiao Qingqing held his wrist and pressed the acupuncture point skillfully. He felt severe pain in his wrist and cried out.

"What are you doing to let him go!" shouted the man's companion.

Qiao Qingqing threw away his hand and stepped aside, with a calm expression: "He pushed me, I counterattack, that's all. What do you want to do quickly, don't block the door."

Seeing Shao Shengfei and Shao's mother walking to her side, she held her hand in one hand. Pulling one: "Let's stand on the side."

Unexpectedly, Shao Shengfei couldn't pull it, and when he looked sideways, Shao Shengfei clenched his fists and glared at the man fiercely.

"Brother, I'm fine, be obedient, brother, shall we stand aside?"

Shao Shengfei followed her angrily.

These people outside wanted to sneak in to check when Lao Yue and the others were away. They suspected that there were things hidden in these offices. They were hungry, and there was no reason to sit and watch the people from the market management office eat and drink spicy food behind their backs. . I thought it would be difficult to knock on the door, but when the door opened, I thought it would be easy to get in, but this woman fought back, and after fighting back, she stepped back and looked like she wasn't blocking her. What is she doing?

Several people were confused by Qiao Qingqing, and for a while they didn't know whether to fight first or search first.

"How dare you hit me! I must make you look good!" The man who was pinched by Qiao Qingqing's wrist couldn't hold his breath. rush away.

"Don't make a mess, search first!" The leader grabbed him.

Qiao Qingqing held Shao Shengfei tightly, and they didn't care how they searched.

There are no hidden supplies in this office at all, and they must not be able to find anything.

"Hey, show me your backpacks."

Qiao Qingqing raised her eyebrows: "Our backpacks?"

"Yes!"

"This office is not mine, so I have no problem with how you search, but what do you think about our family's backpacks? Just search, it's a dream."

"Brother Yao, they must have something hidden in their backpacks."

"Brother Yao, they can't find it anywhere, they must be hiding it."

"It must be like this! I just said why you are so generous to let us search, this dead woman. You must have been prepared!"

"Beauty, why don't you be more conscious, we don't want to cause trouble, let's make money with anger, you cooperate."

Qiao Qingqing was expressionless: "If I don't have what you want in my backpack , can you make this person apologize to me?"

She looked at the man who pushed him just now.

The man was embarrassed: "What nonsense are you talking about!"

Brother Yao glared at him, then turned to look at Qiao Qingqing: "Yes."

"Search." Qiao Qingqing put the three backpacks on the ground and asked them to check.

Shao Shengfei twisted his fingers anxiously, Qiao Qingqing patted his arm lightly, his eyes soft and peaceful. He was soothed and silently called out to his sister.

There are naturally no so-called hidden materials in the backpack, except for a few empty water bottles, which are clothes, towels and other sundries.

"There is only water in this bottle, tsk, only one mouthful." The man picked out a water bottle from Qiao Qingqing's backpack and shook it.

"That's my water." Qiao Qingqing said.

So much water, what is it worth? Brother Yao asked the man to put the water back, and said to Qiao Qingqing that he was sorry and was about to leave.

"What about the apology?" The

man glared: "What apology, don't look for trouble!"

"Lin Cheng, let's go! There are other offices to be searched!"

Lin Cheng glanced at Qiao Qingqing triumphantly, and then scolded Shao Shengfei again After saying "stinky fool", he stuffed the water bottle into his arms. Seeing this, Qiao Qingqing's eyes shone slightly. Lin Cheng threatened: "Don't say it!" Then he followed quickly.
