Infinite Disaster Survival

The wind that had not yet stopped blowing, bringing the remaining rainwater on the leaves to fall. Several people standing outside automatically turned their backs to the direction of the wind, letting the turbid water droplets hit their backs. of clothing.

The policeman recruiting volunteers welcomed Wen Zheng's joining, but he bent down slightly to look at Tuantuan, who was just up to Wen Zheng's waist: "Cleaning work requires contact with accumulated rainwater, and there is also garbage that is difficult to clean. The children are left in the building. Can you please help me?”

Tuantuan nodded. He knew that he would not be allowed to participate in the cleanup outside. He thought that he would be sent home, but it was beyond expectation that he could stay downstairs to help.

Tuantuan's mood improved a lot because she was not thought of as a child who would only cause trouble.

The nearby neighborhood committee sent people to the gate of the community. When the police and neighborhood committee personnel were handing over, more and more residents put on equipment similar to Wen Zheng's and came out to apply for volunteer cleaning.

The police arranged for the volunteers to line up in groups, and the first group assigned the task was registering with pen and paper. The back of the truck driven by the police was opened, and the residents' committee members were distributing the contents to everyone.

First, there were rows of boots. Different from the boots that residents found at home, these boots were specially produced for industrial use, with strong acid, alkali and corrosion resistance. In addition, there are gloves with the same properties, protective caps that can completely protect the head, and thick masks.

As soon as these protective equipment came out, the volunteers breathed a sigh of relief, and those who were still hesitant lined up to join the volunteer team.

After each team of five people had all changed into protective clothing, the police assigned them the locations and tasks that needed to be cleaned, and at the same time gave them the tools they needed to clean up.

Wen Zheng's team was arranged to be near this building. They needed to salvage all the garbage including animal carcasses in the area and send them to specially driven recycling vehicles so that they could be burned later. Then all blocked drains should be cleared. , allowing accumulated rainwater to circulate and freeing up ground for people to walk on.

This is not an easy task. Stepping into the water from the stairs in front of the building, you can feel the resistance brought by the accumulated water. From time to time, you will come into contact with garbage floating on the water and sinking under the water.

The turbid water covered with garbage makes it impossible to see the underwater situation. The shallowest part can cover the feet, and the depth of the water can even reach the calves.

Even with the protection of boots, everyone must be careful every step they take.

The most uncomfortable thing is the garbage that needs to be cleaned up in the water, especially the animal carcasses that have been floating on the water for so long and have already rotted and even grown maggots. The scene is very disgusting.

Moreover, the odor generated by these garbage is mixed with the pungent smell brought by acid rain that has not dissipated. Even a two-layer mask is difficult to block it, continuously irritating the nasal cavity and even the eyes.

Wen Zheng walked at the front of the team and walked near the location where the cart was placed. He waved the tool distributed by the police. The long metal pole could sweep a large area around him. The other end of the metal pole was connected to The metal net can catch the garbage floating nearby, and then transport all the garbage to the cart with Wen Zheng's movements.

The amount of garbage on the water is really not small, and the water is still flowing. Every time Wen Zheng takes away a net, the rest of the garbage will immediately be added to the area just cleared. Wen Zheng doesn't even need to move his legs, just need to Just repeat the same action with your arms.

The volunteers from the same team followed Wen Zheng, dispersed and found a direction to start working. However, working in such a scene put them under double psychological and physical pressure.

Especially when someone picked up a net of garbage, there was a rat floating on the water that was not dead. After being picked up, it crawled along the long pole towards the person. The tall volunteer He couldn't help but let out a cry and threw the fishing net out of his hand.

Wen Zheng, who was standing not far away, saw this scene. As soon as he moved his arm, the fishing net in his hand quickly struck out and caught the mouse in the net. The arm rotated again, and the net bag tightly trapped the mouse. Wen Zheng used his strength to swing it and hit it on top of the garbage in the cart. The already dying mouse completely stopped moving.

"Are you okay?" These consecutive actions happened within a few seconds. Wen Zheng asked after processing, and the others had not yet recovered.

The man who was almost crawled by a mouse calmed down and replied: "It's okay." After saying that, he took two steps forward and picked up the fishing net that was thrown out and was about to drift away. After picking it up, I saw the garbage hanging on the long pole. I used my gloves to push it away and tried to find a place to clean it.

As a result, after his hands came into contact with the garbage, even through the gloves, the nausea he had been suppressing came over him. He walked quickly, ran to the trash can in front of the building that was not flooded, and threw his gloves on the stairs. , pulled off the mask and vomited out.

And as soon as the mask was taken off, the surrounding smells, including the smell of the trash can in front of me, came back even more fiercely. I couldn't stop the vomiting feeling, and after vomiting out all the contents in my stomach.

"Cover your nose with a mask." Just as he was vomiting to the point of vomiting, someone's voice came over to remind him that it would be better if he could no longer smell the smell after covering his nose. When all he vomited out was acidic water, he quickly moved away from the trash can. After vomiting his mouth twice, he felt much better, adjusted and went back to work.

It wasn't just this one person who couldn't stand it. Over the next half an hour, some people couldn't help vomiting. Only Wen Zheng insisted on staying in the water, which made the others admire him. His endurance was not simple.

Although the scene in front of him was not very good, Wen Zheng had seen more unbearable situations than this. When he was floating in the flood world, he saw such scenes.

The carts filled with garbage were full. The police who were also working asked everyone to take a break first and contacted the vehicles responsible for transporting garbage with walkie-talkies to come and empty the carts. After these vehicles were full, they would transport the garbage to a special incineration plant.

Wen Zheng then put down the scoop net in his hand, moved the slightly sore next door, and slowly walked to the stairs.

Tuan Tuan, who was waiting there, quickly handed over a bottle of water: "Dad, drink some water and take a break."

Wen Zheng took off his gloves and placed them aside. He took two sips of water. Smelling the smell outside, he couldn't eat anything at this time, so he could only drink some tasteless water.

The other volunteers admired Wen Zheng and envied him for having such a caring child. They should let their own children come out to see how hard they worked. Thinking about it, they felt sorry for the children. Even if they stood at the door of the building, just smelling this smell was torture.

This thought made them feel that both the father and son of the Wen family were quite amazing.

After the cart was emptied, the volunteers started working again. They didn't want to eat any dishes during the lunch break. However, they had consumed a lot of physical strength. In the end, they ate some steamed buns and rice that didn't have much taste to fill their stomachs.

They were busy until the afternoon. Because the garbage would still float from other places, it was not completely cleaned up, but the amount was obviously much less than in the morning.

The sky was dark and dark early. At three or four o'clock in the afternoon, the police announced that today's work was over. Pick up the water tank and water gun loaded on the truck, rinse the boots, gloves and raincoats that everyone wore today, and let everyone go back to rest early.

The volunteers took off their protective clothing and equipment outside, and then took off the masks on their heads. Everyone was sweating in the slightly cool temperature. After the equipment was flushed, there was still a little smell, but few people minded. When the volunteers came back, the residents in the building who did not participate almost applauded and cheered for them.

In the next few days, the volunteers adapted to the harsh working environment. No one could not help vomiting. If they encountered any unexpected situation, they would try to solve it first. If they could not deal with it, they would call Wen Zheng immediately.

When the garbage on the water surface was almost cleaned up, they began to deal with the blocked drains. The difficulty increased again. Later, professionals came to solve it, and the volunteers helped.

Once the drains were unblocked, the accumulated water on the ground quickly flowed into the ground. Although these accumulated waters will pollute the land and water sources after flowing into the ground, the environment where humans live has long been polluted by half a month of acid rain, and now it is a state of not worrying about debts.

The accumulated water gradually receded, and the garbage and dirt that sank to the bottom of the water and covered the ground were exposed. The danger of cleaning these was not so high, and more people joined the cleaning team.

First, the community and the main roads around it were cleared, and then spread to other places. More and more residents came out to help, and fewer people stayed at home. As a result, some people secretly targeted the residents on the first floor who were not at home.

Some anti-theft windows installed on the first floor were not corrosion-resistant and became somewhat fragile after being corroded by acid rain. As a result, when someone tried, he actually dismantled the anti-theft windows, which only made a slight noise and no one around noticed.

This person took the opportunity to climb through the window into the empty house, and then put the damaged anti-theft window back to its original position as a cover, and searched for valuables in the boxes and cabinets.

When he came out with his harvest, he saw a child staring at the window and saw his movements.

The thief took a deep breath and his mind turned quickly. He covered his face with a mask, and there was no one nearby. As long as he controlled the child, he would be fine.

"Kid, my door lock is broken, I can only climb out through the window." The thief climbed out of the window and heard a tune from the child's mouth before he ran two steps.

It was quite nice.

As soon as this reaction appeared in his mind, a sound of flapping wings was approaching, and the thief felt pain from his head and body two seconds later.

He was besieged by a group of birds.

I don't know where these birds came from. They are very strong. It hurts a lot when their wings and beaks hit him. There are so many of them that he couldn't even resist. He had to run away with his head in his arms. As a result, he didn't pay attention to the direction and fled to the entrance of the building. He was just met by volunteers who came back to rest.

Seeing someone besieged by a group of birds, he was shocked at first. Before he went forward to help, he saw Tuan Tuan, who was following the birds, make a sound from his mouth. The group of birds flew back to Tuan Tuan, leaving only one bird. It stretched out its sharp claws and scratched the pocket of the besieged person's clothes.

The gold ring and gold necklace hidden inside fell down.

The bird stopped moving, and the thief heard the noise and felt something was wrong. He looked up and saw the crowd staring at him. He felt suffocated.

Where did these damn birds come from?
