334: One good news, two bad news

Su Liuyuan told Jiang Fei, "I was afraid that Big Yellow and Little Black would secretly run out when we were moving things, so I locked them in my room."

It was then that Jiang Fei realized Su Liuyuan and the other two had moved all the supplies from upstairs to the first floor.

The solar panels on the roof had been corroded and scrapped by the acid rain, and to prevent the wires from catching fire, they had also unplugged all the wires.

The faucets in the kitchen and bathroom were also out of order and had no water.

The acid rain had corroded the water pipes outside the house.

The brick house was now without water and electricity.

The water Su Liuyuan and the others had used earlier was from the storage tanks they had stocked up on before.

Fortunately, the roof had not been corroded and was not leaking.

However, plastic and stone slabs, when exposed to acid rain for a long time, would eventually be corroded and dissolved.

Just in case, Jiang Fei decided to reinforce the roof.

She used her mind to search for reinforcing materials in the Supermarket warehouse.

Moments later, she found a large quantity of PTFE sheets on a certain shelf.

Also known as Teflon sheets,

This type of sheet is not only resistant to heat and cold but also to acid and alkali corrosion.

She had stocked up on it during the extreme cold and high temperatures in the past.

"I'm going to reinforce the roof; you all stay inside and don't come out."

Lu Yu: "I'll go with you."

"No need, it's easier for me to go alone. If there's any danger, I'll just go straight into the Supermarket."

Taking out her protective suit and putting it on again, Jiang Fei walked out of the house.

She took out her climbing gear and climbed onto the roof.

The roof was flat with no obvious slope, making it easy to walk on. Jiang Fei took out the Teflon sheets, placed them one by one, and returned the way she came.

Her teammates were waiting for her in the living room with buckets of water.

Seeing Jiang Fei return, Lu Yu and the other three helped her wash off the residual acid rain from her protective suit.

The reason she didn't deal with it inside the Supermarket was that Jiang Fei was worried the acid rain would affect the Supermarket's soil.

Jiang Fei put the protective suit she had taken off into the Supermarket warehouse:

"Let's live downstairs for now."

"If the brick house can't hold up, I'll take you all to live in the Supermarket."

Lu Yu and the other three had no objections.

There were only three rooms on the first floor. Su Liuyuan moved in with Ling Zhaorui, and Jiang Fei and Xiao Chuxia lived in his room.

Lu Yu still had a room to himself.

Jiang Fei also sent Big Yellow and Little Black into the Supermarket.

Afterward, she went to check the water tanks in the kitchen and bathroom.

After rinsing the protective suit three times, most of the stored water was almost gone.

Filling all the water tanks, Jiang Fei took out five bento boxes and distributed them to Lu Yu and the others.

Everyone sat in the living room eating dinner.

It was already six in the evening, but there was no sign of darkness outside.

Instead, the acid rain had stopped.

Su Liuyuan guessed, "The first acid rain lasted for almost a day, and the second one only lasted for an afternoon."

"The duration of the acid rain is getting shorter and shorter, and the rain has also lessened a lot. Is it going to stop soon?"

Jiang Fei subtly reminded, "Even if the rain stops, we can't go out. There might still be a third acid rain."

The duration of each acid rain in this life was different from the previous one.

She didn't know if the third rain would still be two days later.

In short, not going out was the right thing to do.

The Black Night Gang members also hadn't come out, all afraid that the acid rain would suddenly descend again.

The world seemed to have fallen into silence.

With ample supplies and a reinforced roof, Jiang Fei comfortably stayed home, being a couch potato.

Su Liuyuan, Ling Zhaorui, and Xiao Chuxia, however, couldn't sit still.

Ling Zhaorui: "Sister Jiang, I want to plant crops in the Supermarket. It's a good opportunity to observe how my hybrid sweet potatoes are growing."

"The hybrid sweet potatoes are what I cultivated during my month in the Supermarket earlier."

"If it's successful, we'll be able to grow crops even in harsh environments."

Xiao Chuxia: "There are quite a few medicinal herbs piled up in the Supermarket warehouse. I plan to make some medicines for our future use."

As for Su Liuyuan, he went into the Supermarket purely to play with Big Yellow and Little Black.

Jiang Fei took the three into the Supermarket, then came back out.

She went to the kitchen, took out a large pile of ingredients, and called Lu Yu to help her process them.

After the acid rain, air pollution would occur, leading to aluminum poisoning in humans.

It would take at least half a year for the air to gradually recover.

She had only taken 5 sets of laboratory-grade protective suits from the Underground City back then.

Not to mention whether the oxygen tanks and filter cartridges would be enough, they couldn't possibly wear protective suits 24 hours a day.

They wouldn't be poisoned, but they would be suffocated.

Moreover, they couldn't avoid contact with the air, water, and soil.

There were no medicines to treat aluminum poisoning in the warehouse, so they should eat more detoxifying foods.

And also boost their immunity to minimize the effects of air pollution.

Foods like garlic, milk, mung beans, broccoli, pumpkin, and walnuts can all reduce the absorption of aluminum in the body, promote the excretion of aluminum, and alleviate the symptoms of aluminum poisoning.

Jiang Fei began to furiously make detoxifying meals.

Lu Yu stood by, helping her quietly.

Two days later.

Jiang Fei, busy in the kitchen, suddenly heard Lu Yu say,

"It's raining."

Jiang Fei looked up and out the window.

A fine rain was falling silently.

The rain, like smoke and mist, should nourish all things and bring life, but in reality, the rainwater wanted to destroy everything.

After more than ten minutes, the acid rain stopped.

The duration and intensity of this acid rain were exactly the same as in the previous life.

To be safe, Jiang Fei decided to wait a few days before going out and continued to make detoxifying meals.

The ingredients for each meal were different, ensuring that her teammates wouldn't get tired of eating them.

She also added ingredients rich in calcium, phosphorus, and other elements, which can inhibit the toxic effects of aluminum on the human body.

For a continuous week, there was no more acid rain.

Jiang Fei brought Xiao Chuxia, Su Liuyuan, and Ling Zhaorui out of the Supermarket.

"I have one good news and two bad news. Which one do you want to hear first?"

The three chose the good news.

Jiang Fei: "The extreme changes of the four seasons ended on the day the acid rain arrived."

"The bad news is that the polar day has not ended, and humanity is about to face the side effects of the acid rain."

Perhaps due to the influence of the new natural disaster, the polar day in this life was extended?

Jiang Fei thought.

Su Liuyuan asked, "Captain, can we go out now?"

"I want to go see Han Yang and the others."

As soon as he finished speaking, shouts rang out from outside.

"Everyone come out and go to Sister Lu's place to collect building materials to repair your houses. Remember to take protective measures, protect your skin, and don't touch the puddles on the ground."

Recognizing Wu Xiaowei's voice, Jiang Fei took out 5 sets of protective suits from the Supermarket warehouse and distributed them to Lu Yu and the others.

Now, there was residual acid rainwater on the roofs and ground outside, which could easily cause skin burns if touched, so wearing protective suits was a must.

After getting dressed, Jiang Fei took out three large backpacks.

She packed ordinary protective gear, thermal clothing, and immunity-boosting medicine, and handed them to Lu Yu and Su Liuyuan to carry.

The five people left the house.

Wu Xiaowei and Wu Dayong were walking outside, shouting as they went.

Both wore safety helmets and winter cotton clothes, pants, and shoes, sweating profusely from the heat but daring not to take them off.

Once they accidentally got acid rainwater on them, their flesh would be corroded, leaving a pit.

They would rather be hot than lose a piece of flesh.

Catching a glimpse of Jiang Fei and the others, who were completely covered, Wu Xiaowei almost didn't recognize them.

"Miss Jiang, why are you out?"
