Great Terror! Acid Rain Disaster!

Drip, drip, drip... The night deepened, and all was silent.

Black birds soared across the land, diving downwards.

The wind that had been howling across the plains seemed to have calmed, as if a black cloth had been draped over the world.

The light of the red moon also began to fade, gradually hiding behind the dark clouds.

"Water!"

"It's water! We're saved! We have water!"

"Thank God, thank Jesus, thank the new life..."

"..."

Countless dark shelters began to light up with sparks as the sound of raindrops grew louder.

The next moment, some people excitedly rushed out of their shelters, standing under the sky, freely enjoying the caress of the "water."

BOOM! A bolt of lightning pierced the sky, suddenly illuminating the earth and the crazed expressions of these people.

The thunder that followed was like a warning, shaking the heavens and the earth.

Splash!

As time passed, the sparse drizzle suddenly turned into a torrential downpour. In the dark night, the sound of rain became the only solo.

The parched earth greedily absorbed the nourishment falling from the sky.

The cracked surface of the land, exposed to the sun for days, gradually began to heal under the caress of the rain.

All things seemed to regain their vitality.

However, "Ah, my face, what's happening to my face!"

When the first person's face began to show pits like those corroded by concentrated sulfuric acid, the crowd that had rushed out was dumbfounded.

In a fleeting glimpse of the lightning,

Those caught in the rain discovered that:

The exposed skin had been scorched black, with tiny pits appearing, painless, but with a strange numbness.

The most terrifying thing was... all of this happened silently.

On the World Channel, countless meteorologists and chemists who had transmigrated were also discussing the anomaly of the Acid Rain.

"Everyone be careful, don't let the rain touch your body for too long. Continuous contact for more than a minute will cause corrosion. This rain is abnormal!"

"It might not be sulfuric acid. I did an experiment, and it doesn't corrode wood or soil at all. Those who can, collect some and study it with me."

"Professor Li has run out of speaking opportunities today. I'll say it for him: Professor Li says this Acid Rain may contain a Neuro-Corrosive Acid. Do not let your body directly contact the Acid Rain for a long time. Wipe it off quickly if you get wet."

"I just took a ten-minute shower, and now my whole body has lost sensation. Please, save me, I don't want to die."

"Mommy, I want to go home, I want to drink water, I don't want to stay here, please save me."

"My stomach hurts so much. I drank a little rainwater just now. It hurts so much, it hurts so much!"

"..."

More and more numb posts occupied the World Channel, bringing about a doomsday-like silence and panic.

In dilapidated houses, water had begun to seep into poorly sealed underground shelters. The low-lying terrain was accumulating more and more rainwater. More and more people began to understand the meaning of disaster.

It turned out that this was not just a disaster for a small group of people, but!

A catastrophe for everyone! The Acid Rain was so terrifying! "Woof woof woof, woof! Awoo!"

In the dim Shelter, Su Mo opened his tired eyes, looked at Oreo, who was frantically pacing by the bed, and most of his drowsiness disappeared.

"What's wrong?"

Supporting himself on the bed with one hand, Su Mo sat up and touched his chest.

After several days of hard work, plus the injuries left in the Ruins, he had finally recovered a lot as time passed.

Following Oreo's gaze, Su Mo suddenly discovered that a lot of water had seeped in at the stone door of the Shelter, wetting a patch of Wooden Board.

"Damn it, there's something wrong with this rain!"

Seeing Oreo's bared teeth, Su Mo felt his scalp tingle.

Instinctively, Su Mo put on his clothes while opening the game panel to check the World Channel.

As the game panel opened, a series of prompts began to sound.

[Record]: "Attention all players, attention all players, attention all players"

[Record]: "The first disaster, Acid Rain, is about to arrive (newbie protection). Please treat it with caution and do not be careless."

[Record]: "This disaster will last for 36 hours."

[Record]: "Please note that system announcements will cease after the first newbie disaster."

[Record]: "Congratulations to player Su Mo. Your Shelter's disaster resistance is currently ranked number one globally. Do you want to publish the leaderboard data and simultaneously start a live broadcast of your Shelter's disaster resistance?"

[Record]: "Please note that starting the live broadcast will not show the inside of the Shelter. It will start a surrounding live broadcast above the Shelter, allowing other players to observe the ground buildings only!"

[Record]: "Accumulate fifteen minutes or more of live broadcasting and successfully survive the disaster to receive a random survival airdrop *1."

[Record]: "Do you want to start?"

The chaotic prompts buzzed in Su Mo's ears like a hundred birds chirping.

"The disaster has already started? And this live broadcast?"

After spending a few seconds, Su Mo immediately understood his current situation.

The Acid Rain disaster had indeed begun, and the water seeping into the Shelter was undoubtedly Acid Rain.

However, even his leaky Shelter was ranked first. Su Mo didn't dare to imagine how terrible the other Shelters were faring.

Putting aside the system prompts, Su Mo chose to first investigate the World Channel.

As soon as he entered, the overwhelming World Channel seemed to have returned to the grand scene of the first day of transmigration.

"My Shelter is about to be flooded! When will this rain ever end! I hate it, I hate it, I hate that I didn't dig drainage ditches!"

"My feet! My feet have been corroded by the rain! I have no feet anymore, ahhhhh!"

"Remember not to let your skin directly contact the rain, otherwise your nerves will be corroded immediately. If possible, use plant fiber to absorb the water and don't let the water touch you!"

"This is not a natural disaster, it is a baptism. In the heavy rain, we humans can find the way forward! Amen!"

"God, will your followers go to your paradise after death!"

Countless numb speeches occupied 99% of the chat boxes.

Su Mo was speechless after only watching for three or five seconds.

The Acid Rain on Earth, even if it was terrifying, was traceable, and its material composition was clear.

However... according to what was said in the World Channel, the acid mixed in this Acid Rain did not damage objects, but as soon as it touched the human body, it would cause severe corrosion, and silently... "It's Neuro-Corrosive Acid!"

With a look of horror, Su Mo suddenly thought of the Black Dog he had encountered in the Ruins before.

The surface of the Black Dog's skin had countless disgusting rotten spots, and it was completely unaware of it. Even Su Mo's spear attack had no effect.

Closing the World Channel, he opened the Area Channel.

The number of members in the Area Channel now seemed to be stained with fresh red blood, making it difficult to accept.

323 Before going to bed yesterday, Su Mo had specifically remembered the number of survivors in the Area Channel, which was 645.

In just one night, half of the people had disappeared into this rain.

The remaining three hundred people were also in critical condition.

Those who chose ground Shelters were better off. As long as the terrain was not too low-lying, at least they didn't have to face the Shura-like scene of Acid Rain pouring into the Shelter.

Those with brains used wooden shovels and buckets to carefully ensure that water would not backflow into the Shelter.

Those without brains simply made simple raincoats and umbrellas out of plant fiber.

Wearing raincoats and holding umbrellas over their heads, they climbed onto the roofs of the wooden house Shelters, and then made wooden boxes and Wooden Boards to barely build a small attic to avoid the disaster.

Those who thought they could drink their fill of Acid Rain were forever left in this wasteland, never to breathe again.

After observing for a while, Su Mo closed the game panel, his gaze hardening as he looked at the leaking area.

If the rain outside was really this terrifying, then his shelter being ranked first made perfect sense.

As an underground shelter, there wasn't even a puddle of accumulated water underground at this time.

Relying on the stone door's excellent sealing, the chances of surviving the first wave of disaster were high!

"Oreo, don't touch that water!"

Calling Oreo, who was baring its teeth at the leaking rain, to move away, Su Mo took out the cloth he had stored before the disaster and began to study a rainproofing plan.
