Infinite Disaster Survival

Chapter 176 Chapter 176

As early as three days ago, the Xia government began to issue acid rain warnings. A large amount of sulfide-containing gases produced by the Leland volcano eruption entered the air and spread to the surroundings under the influence of air currents. A small amount may be diluted by the air on the way to diffusion, but the intensity of the continuous eruption of Leland volcano will inevitably affect the world.

Since the Kingdom of Xia and the Kingdom of Lika are nearly half a planet apart, many countries were already facing this disaster before the acid rain came.

The people of Xia State can see the tragic situation of the disaster-stricken country from the news. No one is taking any chances that acid rain will not come. As soon as the government issued the early warning, all the people of Xia State took the time to rescue the animals and plants planted outdoors. And reserve a lot of water in advance.

All vegetables grown outdoors and all poultry and livestock raised outside were quickly brought indoors for good protection.

This is a job that is often done after the volcanic eruption. Everyone has become a skilled worker, and they are very energetic. However, I feel distressed when I see the vegetables that have just sprouted a few leaves and are about to be pulled out. I sigh and wonder if the acid rain will come later. What a wonderful day.

Not many of the farmed livestock and poultry are raised in the wild. They all have shacks built. After the call comes back, the shacks are reinforced again. Some of the livestock that are raised in large numbers are slaughtered first.

After these priorities were taken care of, the people of Xia State, who had their hands free, still felt that the supplies stored at home were insufficient in the face of acid rain that might last for many days. After being picked many times on the roadside, freshly grown wild vegetables and even buds of street trees are picked first and taken home, as long as they are not poisonous and no matter how they taste.

Some people began to openly capture wild animals and stray animals outside. Some people criticized them at first, but these people had their own reasons. It was going to be the end of the world. Even if they didn't catch them now, it would be difficult for these animals to survive. Might as well turn them into human reserve food.

It sounds reasonable. If there is really no food to eat, humans can certainly take action against animals. The government is so busy that it has no time to take care of it. In the end, those who blame it only remind them that if infectious diseases are caused by chaos, that is their problem.

Before acid rain entered the Xia Kingdom, television, radio, and online platforms all issued warnings in advance. The first to arrive were the coastal cities of the Xia Kingdom. Along with the acid rain came a huge typhoon, which caused quite a few tsunamis in many cities.

The government observed the typhoon in advance and organized the evacuation of people in coastal areas in advance. Property damage was considerable, but most people were safe.

This ferocious typhoon greatly accelerated the rate of acid rain. In just a few days, it came from the coastal areas to Songyang City, where Wen Zheng is located.

The sky had been dark since early in the morning, and the warnings on the news were heard repeatedly. No one dared to appear outside without taking any precautions.

Wen Zheng and Tuantuan were sitting by the window. They could feel the gradually increasing moisture in the air from the wind blowing from the window. People with enhanced constitutions could smell the increasingly obvious pungent smell with their keen sense of smell.

That's the smell of acid rain.

The dark clouds came extremely quickly, and the sun disappeared completely. When you looked up, you could only see a dark patch. All the scattered pedestrians on the road returned home as quickly as possible. Even vehicles on the road became rare. The wind became stronger and stronger, making the surroundings roar.

There was a fluttering sound. This sound was very familiar to Wen Zheng and Tuantuan. When the two looked outside, they saw birds with keen senses flying towards their open window. It seemed that they wanted to take advantage of their territory. Come and escape.

Of course Wen Zheng was willing, but first he lowered his head and asked Tuantuan for his opinion. Tuantuan looked up at the dark clouds that seemed to be suppressing them at any time, and said seriously to the flying birds: "You can't make the house dirty when you come in, and you can't make any noise at night by calling out."

I don’t know if the birds understood it, but after they flew in, they stopped in front of Tuantuan and waited until Tuantuan let them in before they dared to continue flying in.

There was a spare guest room in the house where the father and son lived. Upon seeing this, Wen Zheng helped open the guest room door so that the birds could stay inside first. After Tuantuan came in with the birds, he was still mumbling for them to be obedient.

Wen Zheng felt that Tuantuan had really grown up a lot when he didn't see it.

There were several pattering sounds, and the father and son immediately looked out the window after hearing it. For a few seconds, the sound of raindrops hitting the window continued continuously for a long time.

The rain was blown diagonally into the room by the wind and dripped on the curtains on both sides of the window, leaving dark water stains. The pungent smell doubled and became unbearable after the acid rain came. Wen Zheng and Tuantuan quickly found the masks in the house and put them on their faces to protect their mouths and noses from the irritation of the acid rain smell.

In the news broadcast on TV, the host repeatedly reminded everyone to close doors and windows. But the window in front of Wen Zheng hadn't been closed yet. Tuantuan even took two steps forward, pulled down the curtains next to him and caught two birds flying in the rain.

"Chirp, chirp, chirp..." There were more than two birds, and they also held two baby birds in their mouths that had not yet learned to fly. Even though the father and mother were carefully protected along the way, they were inevitably hit by the acid rain. .

Tuantuan quickly took the family of four to the bathroom and washed them in the sink. Wen Zheng struggled to identify in the pouring acid rain. He didn't see or hear the birds coming closer. He gently closed the window without locking it, leaving a small gap.

The few birds that were hit by the acid rain were treated in time and did not suffer too much damage. The curtains were corroded by the acid rain and had several inconspicuous holes, so they were simply taken out to make nests for the birds.

Dozens of birds temporarily lived in the Wen family. Tuantuan did not get jealous, but took on the responsibility of taking care of and managing these birds. Wen Zheng helped out beside them to pass the time trapped in the house by the acid rain.

There was a howling wind and acid rain outside. Even if there were cars, no one went out. People were sealed in the room. However, there was electricity and the Internet, so people would not be idle.

The people who were idle in the house first observed the situation outside at all times. In theory, the distance from the Leland Volcano to Xiaguo reduced the power of acid rain, but the power of acid rain was still so fierce.

Netizens who stayed at home could not help but experiment. Metal products were corroded and rusted after being placed outside the window for a few hours. Fabrics were damaged soon after. The fresh leaves gradually turned yellow and black. It was estimated that the outdoor plants were in danger.

The more tests were conducted, the more people knew that the situation outside was not good, which would inevitably increase people's psychological pressure. Later, it was estimated that the country began to divert the attention of the people. People also found that they could not do anything except worry, and they began to adjust their psychological conditions spontaneously.

Wen Zheng and Tuan Tuan also opened a live broadcast on the Internet. Neither of them appeared on the screen. The protagonists in the camera were the group of birds in the house and the transformation of the living room made by the father and son for the birds.

The guest room was vacant, and the wood in the room and some branches that were made before were built. The birds found some materials to make nests by themselves, and several bird toilets were built in the room. Under Tuan Tuan's training, these birds would not fly around. Usually, after eating, they would run to the bird toilets and stop after a similar time.

Although the room was inevitably dirty, it was not too messy. The two of them cleaned it easily and fertilized the plants in the house.

This alone let the audience know that the person who was broadcasting the live broadcast was a master of bird training. In addition to the common sparrows, magpies, and crows, there were also hoopoes, white-crowned sparrows, and even owls. These birds were of different sizes, but they were able to live in harmony. Later, the room watched the group of birds being trained into a choir.

It was not the kind of chaotic sound that easily made people feel noisy, but according to the sounds of different birds, different parts were divided, and a song was composed by the sound of birds.

After a few days of training, the birds looked like a group of birds. The number of viewers in the live broadcast room increased rapidly, and they all said that these birds had become spirits.

Inevitably, some people will accuse the live broadcaster of deliberately catching birds, but none of these birds were trapped, and they were well taken care of every day. Judging from the situation in the video, the birds were very close to the people who looked after them, and they did not look like they were being abused at all. It was more in line with the introduction in the live broadcast room, that they took the initiative to fly into the house to avoid acid rain when it came.

Such situations are not uncommon. On the day when acid rain came, many animals took the initiative to seek help from humans, especially humans who were better to animals on weekdays, who faced a lot of help.

Those bad comments were just episodes. Tuantuan didn't care when he saw them. He was thinking about giving these birds a formal performance, and he also announced it in advance in the live broadcast room. Many viewers were particularly looking forward to this time.

On the night of the performance, the audience rushed in before it officially started. When Tuantuan directed the birds to start the chorus, the popularity soared over time, and attracted more viewers to enter.

When new viewers came in, they didn't know it was really birds singing, but thought it was a background music. They didn't know why so many people were watching. They were shocked when they saw old viewers explaining it.

This performance was quite successful. The song sung by this group of birds was what Tuan Tuan heard from another world. Wen Zheng had sung it twice before. He felt it was very nice and soothing, so he asked Tuan Tuan to teach the birds.

The audience in the live broadcast room also praised the performance after listening to it. When listening, they forgot the pressure brought by the end of the world. After the song ended, before the audience asked for another one, the live broadcast room turned black.

Some viewers wailed in the live broadcast room with a black screen, while others were forced to exit the live broadcast room. Looking at the situation they were facing, they guessed what happened to the anchor, because they were facing the same situation.

After many days of ravages by strong winds and acid rain, the outdoor electrical wires and network cables finally failed to withstand the damage.

After receiving the news, the news began to be broadcast to areas that still had electricity. Many areas in Xiaguo were out of the Internet and power, and acid rain would continue. Other areas would face the same difficulties and needed to be prepared in advance.

Now the audience in the areas without power outages also knew what was being sent. When they could still use the Internet, the people who prepared the screen recording in advance quickly made it and posted it on the Internet. The others quickly downloaded and saved it, preparing to listen to it later. After listening, they all felt much more relaxed.

Suddenly, in the dark house, only the light of the mobile phone screen illuminated a small area.

The birds were frightened by the sudden darkness and screamed, and they calmed down a little with the comfort of Tuantuan.

Wen Zheng and Tuantuan looked at the screen on the mobile phone. Not only was there no wireless network, but there was no signal. The mobile phone had enough power, but it could not access the Internet. If the mobile phone was used all the time, the remaining power would not last too long.

The news reported that there might be power outages and disconnections, so the public was reminded to stock up on devices such as power banks, and to use them sparingly once they heard about it. Wen Zheng naturally stocked up on some, not only power banks, but also power generation equipment.

Under the disaster of the volcanic eruption, the sun will hardly appear again, and solar power generation equipment will not be useful, so Wen Zheng stocked up on diesel generators and hand-cranked generators in advance. He originally thought that if there was a power outage, he could just crank it to generate electricity, but now he doesn't need to work, and there is still a flock of birds at home.

You can't just eat and not work every day.
