Chapter 195: The First Rain

Translator: Dragon Boat Translation     Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

“What’s wrong, Little Black?”

It was Ye Xingchen’s first time seeing Little Black react so violently. He immediately stuffed the entire anti-inflammatory pill into the hands of the shopkeeper. Then, he pulled Lin Sijia with one hand and Little Black with the other to find Mo Qi and the others.

“Is something going to happen, Little Black? Why are you in such a hurry?”

Ye Xingchen had a premonition that Little Black must have predicted something when he suddenly bit his pant leg. He even felt that this might have something to do with the sudden drop in temperature just now.

“It’s raining. I saw it raining. That rain seemed different from normal rain.”

Little Black’s fur stood on end. For some reason, he felt an inexplicable panic in his heart, as if something terrible was about to happen.

When Ye Xingchen heard that, he instantly thought of acid rain. He pulled Little Black and Lin Sijia to the roadside and called Mo Qi and Qin Tianming back.

“Get back now. Run as fast as you can. Hurry!”

Ye Xingchen shouted at Mo Qi and the others. The people who set up stalls around them only looked at Ye Xingchen strangely and did not pay too much attention to them. After all, they had just set up their stalls not long ago, and it was not the busiest time yet.

Mo Qi and Qin Tianming were also confused, but they were very obedient. When Ye Xingchen asked them to run back, they really started to run on the fine sand.

Just as they closed the car door, a small raindrop fell on the ground outside.

“We’re not going shopping today. We’re going home. Let’s come again next time.”

Lin Sijia was following Ye Xingchen. She had also heard what Little Black said just now. Her hand that was holding the seatbelt inexplicably tightened, and then she carefully put the only shell hairpin she bought tonight into the pocket of her clothes.

Little Black’s prediction was right. Ye Xingchen had just been driven out of the night market when the rain started.

It wasn’t just the rain in this area. It was the rain on a global scale.

At first, it was just a drizzle, so much so that it was barely noticeable when it landed on his body. Yuan Bo did not get out of the car to walk around. He stayed guarding the car to prevent anyone from stealing the car. Not long after, Ye Xingchen and the others rushed back and even told him to return to the safety fortress as soon as possible.

“Did something happen?”

Yuan Bo stepped on the accelerator, feeling a little puzzled. This wasn’t his first time being a chauffeur. He had gone out a few times before, so he was happy to come out. Besides, his driving skills were not bad, and he drove fast and steadily.

However, this was the first time that he had come out with Ye Xingchen and the others to stay here for such a short time before going back. After all, Mo Qi and Qin Tianming loved the beach there the most. They had to play for at least one or two hours before they were willing to go back.

“Yes, something happened. It’s raining outside.”

The drizzle hit the window glass, and the windshield wipers didn’t even need to be turned on.

Yuan Bo looked at the scene in front of the car window. He did see rain, but he didn’t understand what Ye Xingchen meant. At least half an hour later, Yuan Bo finally remembered.

This was the first rain in a long time.

Although they had their own water purification system and water supply system, it didn’t mean that there was an endless supply of water outside.

It was needless to say how precious this rain was to them.

“Oh my god, it’s finally raining after so long!”

Yuan Bo was happy. He thought that the people who were suffering from drought and water shortage outside would be saved. When it rained, they could go and get rainwater to drink.

Yuan Bo was happy, but Ye Xingchen wasn’t. Instead, he was worried.

Little Black’s violent reaction meant that this rain was definitely not ordinary.

He had a vague guess in his heart that this might be acid rain.

Even a fool would know that acid rain could not be drunk. Not only could it not be drunk, but it could also corrode…

Ye Xingchen looked up at the roof of the car. He was secretly praying that the acid rain was not too corrosive. If the acid rain was too corrosive, the roof of the car might be corroded through before they reached the safety fortress.

Ye Xingchen and the others sped along the road. The rain outside had already turned from a drizzle to a light patter.

Drops of rain fell on the cracked land, and the vendors by the sea could feel the rain.

“That’s great. It’s finally raining after so long!”

There were already a few people by the coast who were looking up to enjoy the drizzle, but before they could enjoy it too much, the rain suddenly turned from a drizzle to a steady patter.

The raindrops landed on their skin, causing a slight stinging sensation.

When the people in the city heard the sound of rain, they all rushed out.

Many people had already used up all their medicine. They had been thirsty for a few days. When they saw the sudden rain, they raised their heads and opened their mouths without thinking.

But soon, everyone realized that something was wrong.

At first, they felt a faint stinging sensation. They thought that their bodies were too dehydrated, so that was why they felt a slight stinging sensation after coming into contact with the rain.

Even the people by the sea usually came into contact with seawater instead of fresh water. They couldn’t bathe in seawater. The seawater was so salty that their skin would chafe after bathing.

Just as the light rain turned into moderate rain, Ye Xingchen and the others finally drove the off-road vehicle up the hill and reached the top of the mountain.

“Open the door, quick, open the door.”

The car drove straight into the safety fortress. The roof at the entrance of the safety fortress was not enough to cover the entire car.

After getting out of the car, Ye Xingchen first checked the roof.

Sure enough, as Ye Xingchen had expected, the roof of the car had already shown signs of corrosion.

Yuan Bo was also a little confused after getting out of the car. He didn’t even know why Ye Xingchen was so anxious to open the door and drive the car directly into the safety fortress. It should be known that Ye Xingchen had always parked the car at the door and walked in with them because Ye Xingchen was afraid that the wheels of the car would dirty the floor of the safety fortress.

However, when Yuan Bo and Ye Xingchen looked at the roof of the car, he suddenly understood something.

“W-What is this?!”
