Chapter 206 The Unlucky Man in the End of the World 22

Some people who were more meticulous started calculating the time from the moment they received the information. Sure enough, two hours later, heavy rain began to fall. The rain was black and looked ominous, which further proved the accuracy of the information.

Both the timid and smart people hid in their houses and did not go out. They did not dare to take the risk. Although it was possible that they could become superpowers, they could not guarantee that they would be the lucky one. They would rather live like this.

Some people just don't believe it and insist on going out in the heavy rain to water the plants. Some people with a gambler's mentality are willing to risk their lives to give it a try. If they can't become superpowers, they might as well die.

When the corrosive pain of the heavy rain hit their bodies, those who went out to gamble regretted it. They didn't expect it to be so painful. Can such rain really turn people into superpowers? But it's too late to regret it now.

However, in this life, because of the reminder sent by the elves by Qu Nannan, more than half of the victims from the previous life in the base hid at home honestly and did not escape the fate of death by being caught in the heavy rain.

This heavy black rain lasted for two days. After the rain stopped, the sun appeared in the sky for a rare time. Qu Nannan sighed, the extremely hot weather had arrived.

She stood upstairs and watched the people downstairs happily looking at the sun in the sky. These people didn't know that the temperature would start to rise at noon, reaching a temperature that humans could not bear.

After the heavy rain, the base was under martial law. From time to time, the roars of zombies could be heard from different places. The guards killed countless assimilated people that day.

According to later statistics, a total of about a thousand people were caught in the rain. Among them, ten people with special abilities had to stay in bed for a month because of the toxins in the heavy rain before they could get out of bed and walk. These were people who had received treatment with healing powers.

There were more than 900 ordinary people left, and only five of them awakened their superpowers. However, the skin of these five people completely healed itself the moment their superpowers were activated. The remaining 900 people were directly assimilated and lost their lives.

This time, no one in the group was jumping up and down over the news. After all, the news was true, and they all thought it was just someone else's guess.

The current leader of the base tapped his fingers on the table and sighed. Fortunately, he did not rush to dispel the rumor this time, otherwise who knows how many people would be assimilated. He also didn't know who could get such accurate information. He hoped it was a friendly party.

"Have you guys checked outside? Have the zombies outside really upgraded?"

The man sitting below nodded, his expression very serious: "Not all zombies have been upgraded, but at least one-fifth of them have been upgraded. This will make it more dangerous when we go out on missions in the future."

"Does that person have any more news to send out?"

"Yes, I just received a message saying that it will be extremely hot starting from noon today, with the temperature reaching up to 60 degrees. Everyone is advised to avoid going out when the sun is at its strongest to avoid getting burned."

"Boss, who do you think this person is? Why does he know so much accurate information? Could he be someone from the Capital Base?"

The base commander shook his head. "Probably not. Although the signal is not good, we can still contact the capital. The capital only predicts heavy rain, but does not predict whether the rain is good or bad. There is no warning about the extremely hot weather."

"That……"

The base commander raised his hand to stop him: "It's useless to dwell on this. This person currently has no ill intentions towards us. We just need to read the messages she sends carefully. If she had any ill intentions, she wouldn't have reminded us."

"Don't bother looking for this person. There are all kinds of people in the end times. It's just that the person on the other side doesn't want to show up. We just need to respect him."

"Yes"

"Okay, go to the lab and rush them. They said the protective clothing is almost ready. The extremely hot weather is just the right time for it to be used. Tell them to hurry up."

"Yes"

The research institute here has been operating since the end of the world. There will definitely be a lot of natural disasters accompanying the end of the world. They have anticipated extremely hot and extremely cold weather, but they don't know if such weather will really occur.

In addition to zombies in the wild, many mutated plants have also been discovered. Scientists have been researching how to make protective clothing that can protect against both heat and cold, and can especially provide protection during combat.

More than two months have passed, and this protective clothing should be almost ready. A week ago it was said that it had been completed and entered the final experimental stage. It will come in handy when the weather becomes extremely hot. It came at the right time.

The base commander himself is a psychic and has accepted the current changes very quickly, so the situation here can be said to be the best among all the nearby safe bases.

He did not simply appease the people like he did before the end of the world, accepting all the people who came here to seek refuge unconditionally, which would only drag down the base. Human desires are endless, and only by establishing rules from the beginning can this base last and become the most solid shelter.

Starting from the third day of the extremely hot weather, people have adapted to a life of hiding during the day and going out at night. The temperature during the day is too high and it is easy to burn the skin, so they rest during the day and work at night.

The psychics also used supplies and points to exchange for protective clothing developed by the base itself. They had to go on missions as usual. There was no other way. The base had too many people. If they didn't hurry up and go out to collect supplies, everyone in the base would eventually starve to death due to food problems.

There are people with special abilities who can farm, but the land was severely polluted after the last heavy rain. Crops grown without soil cannot provide the basic living needs of the entire base, so they can only try to find crops outside.

The base is large enough and has all the facilities, but there are so many things that people need in life, and it is impossible to have them all here.

Qu Nannan found a set of clothes similar to the protective clothing here and put them on. She put on gloves on her hands, a big mask covered her entire face, and a baseball cap covered even her eyebrows and eyes.

"Host, do you really want to go on the mission with me in this weather?"

"Yes, this weather is not the worst. What if we encounter an environment that is worse than this one in the future? We always have to adapt slowly."

"And I also want to collect some zombie crystal cores, maybe they can be used in the future."

"You're right. What if we run into something rare and good when we go out? It's better than hiding like this."

As for the temperature outside, Qu Nannan didn't really care. The protective suit she was wearing was much better than the ones made here. After putting it on, the temperature of her body automatically adjusted to the most suitable temperature for her body, and she couldn't feel the scorching temperature at all.

Qu Nannan took out her weapon and tied it on her back, but she still had to hide it well for fear.
