Chapter 192 Do you want to try boiling water rain?
Because he lived in a refugee camp next to the square in his previous life, Zhou Yang had a very deep impression of this rain of boiling water.
I remember that the rain started around 10 o'clock. At that time, he saw many people running to play in the rain, thinking that it would cool them down after the rain.
Because he was afraid of catching a cold, he only dared to hide in the tent and collect rainwater in an empty bucket for later use.
Around 10:30, his bucket was finally full.
The rain had gotten quite heavy by then, but the sun was still shining brightly, without a single cloud in sight, and most of the people who had been frolicking outside had returned to their tents.
He draped a waterproof tarpaulin over himself and went outside the tent to retrieve his water bucket. However, as soon as he reached out, he discovered that the rainwater dripping onto the surface was already like hot water, and he was immediately alarmed.
He couldn't figure out what was going on at the moment, but his intuition told him that this was not normal, and if it got any hotter, the tents in the square would not be safe at all.
So he immediately put down the bucket, went straight to his sleeping quarters, rolled up his bedding and other belongings, stuffed them into a large backpack, slung it over his shoulder, and wrapped himself in a waterproof plastic sheet.
As soon as he turned and left, the empty spot on the floor was immediately filled by other people waiting for a seat.
Zhou Yang glanced at him and saw that the person who had taken the spot was a middle-aged bachelor who often loitered in the tent and was not exactly known for his shady dealings. So he ignored him and just sighed as he looked at the other refugees in the tent.
Stepping out of the tent and carrying his bucket full of rainwater, Zhou Yang went straight to the nearest underground parking garage.
He added some points and swapped a squatting spot in the underground parking garage with the guard there.
Yes, you heard right, it's a squatting spot. Floor seats are too expensive for him; he can't afford them. He can't spend all his points on accommodations; he needs to keep some for emergencies.
Although the squatting area is a bit small, if you can find a suitable spot, it's not bad to be able to lean against it and sleep.
Zhou Yang was also lucky; he found a spot against the wall in a rather secluded corner. The reason it wasn't occupied was that it happened to be a ventilation opening to the ground. Although it wouldn't get wet in the rain, it was the hottest place underground during the day.
So there are almost no people here during the day, and people only come to rob at night.
He put his things away, kept watch over a bucket of water, and made this corner his home for the time being.
But after only a short time of resting with my eyes closed, I felt the surroundings getting hotter and hotter. As soon as I opened my eyes, I heard screams coming from above, and then I saw a noisy commotion coming from the exit of the underground parking garage.
After listening for a long time, I finally understood that the rain outside had suddenly intensified, and the refugees in the tents were so hot that they wanted to take shelter in the underground garage for a while. However, as soon as they ran out, they were drenched by the rain and collapsed on the ground, their lives hanging in the balance.
Those at the tent entrance stopped in their tracks upon seeing this, but those behind them, unaware of this, continued to push forward, causing several people at the tent entrance to be pushed out and exposed to the torrential rain without any protection. Their skin was scalded red, and they cried out in pain.
The people inside the tent then realized something was wrong and retreated in fear. They wanted to help, but the rain was so hot they couldn't even stretch out their hands.
Although Zhou Yang only caught a glimpse of the people from afar behind the crowd, the gruesome sight of them covered in blood and gore remained vivid in his memory, and he felt a chill run down his spine whenever he thought about it.
If he hadn't been more cautious and changed locations beforehand, he might have become one of them. Even if he wasn't scalded to death by the boiling rain, he would have been steamed half-cooked inside the tent.
Indeed, in the end, most of the people inside the tent could not escape it either. Surrounded by high temperatures and boiling water rain, the tent, which was originally meant for survival, turned into a giant steamer in the blink of an eye, and steamed the people inside to death.
Except for a few low-level superhumans who survived, the others did not make it.
……
So when Zhou Yang saw that it was raining, he immediately panicked.
In addition, there have been many unexpected events in this life, and today's sun shower came quickly and suddenly. He dared not gamble on when the rain would turn into boiling water.
After considering it for a moment, Zhou Yang reached out and tugged at the pea's fur. Afraid that the pea was too engrossed in running and wouldn't feel that he was pulling its fur, he deliberately used all his strength.
Fortunately, Pea was clever. As soon as Zhou Yang tugged on its back, it sensed it, immediately slowed down, and then looked back: "Woof?"
Seeing that the speed had slowed down, Zhou Yang quickly looked up and around, then pointed to a new residential area under construction in the distance: "Kid, take us there, let's find a place to take shelter from the rain."
Shen Zechuan and Yan Fei exchanged glances, but out of trust in Zhou Yang, they had no objections.
Chi Feng and the other two were still somewhat dazed and didn't care about this unexpected turn of events.
Pea, in particular, obeyed Zhou Yang's commands without question. After only glancing at the direction her master was pointing, she immediately ran over.
The distance of a few hundred meters was covered in the blink of an eye.
After entering the residential area, Zhou Yang looked around and then pointed in the direction of the underground parking garage, asking Wandou to carry them to the entrance.
Then everyone quickly got off Pea. After Zhou Yang put away the dog saddle and shrunk Pea, they went into the underground parking garage together.
Because the residential complex is still under construction, this underground parking garage is only in its initial stages. Apart from load-bearing columns, load-bearing walls, fire doors, and garages, everything else is still empty. The ground is still cement, and there hasn't even been any paint applied yet, let alone any designated parking spaces.
Once inside the underground area, Zhou Yang found a relatively clean spot, then took out several large pieces of cardboard and laid them on the ground, and then put three straw mats on top of them.
The group took off their shoes and sat down.
As soon as Zhou Yang sat down, he waved to Wandou, who was standing next to the mat.
Seeing this, Pea shook off its wet fur, stuck out its tongue, and walked over. After Zhou Yang wiped its paws clean, it lay down at Zhou Yang's feet.
Chi Feng finally calmed down and sat down. He first marveled at Wandou's speed, then looked at the light drizzle outside and asked, "The rain isn't heavy right now. Do we need to take shelter now? At your speed, like a high-speed train, we'll be there in about ten minutes."
Zhou Yang rolled her eyes at him and said in a voice only the two of them could hear, "Think about it carefully, have you ever seen a sun shower that starts as soon as the sun rises? And the rainwater is warm, do you want to try the feeling of being scalded by boiling water rain?"
"..." Chi Feng immediately shut his mouth, thinking about the rain that fell on that extremely hot day in his previous life. It didn't seem like it would come so quickly, so he sighed, "Alright, then we might have to wait here for a whole day."
Zhou Yang glanced at the rain outside, which seemed to have intensified, and frowned: "Let's wait until the rain stops completely first. If that doesn't work, then we'll head back tonight."
