Chapter 196: Pros and Cons of Acid Rain
Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
The corrosive nature of the acid rain made everyone worried, but drinking the purified acid rain could awaken everyone’s abilities. This was exciting news for many people.
Being able to awaken special abilities could make one stronger. In such an environment, it could also greatly enhance one’s ability to survive. This was what people needed the most at the moment.
Everyone tried to purify it through various methods, but this was a very complicated process. Not everyone had the opportunity and process to perform efficient purification. Just the purification equipment needed was difficult for many people.
Those who had the ability to neutralize the acid rain would add an alkaline substance to it, or add an appropriate precipitator to settle the acidic impurities, or use a filter and an absorbing material to remove the suspended particles and organic impurities. This method could purify the acid rain to the greatest extent and greatly increase the probability of awakening the superpower.
In the beginning, due to many people’s improper methods, there were cases of poisoning and even death. Later, some enthusiastic citizens shared videos on how to correctly purify acid rain on the Internet, and everyone corrected some of the previous mistakes.
Just as everyone was celebrating the fact that the acid rain was drinkable they did not know that mutated animals had already swum into their homes along the rising rain.
With the strong corrosiveness of the acid rain, almost all the buildings were more or less damaged. There was no way to get rid of these mutated animals one by one.
The first to mutate were some insects, such as cockroaches the size of a palm, ants the size of a thumb, mosquitoes the size of a finger, etc. These were not ’ particularly outrageous, and there were still ways to kill them easily.
As time passed, these creatures mutated again and again, and their forms were more than ten times larger than before. The originally gentle animals began to become aggressive. People were shocked by these animals. Their lives and safety had been seriously affected.
The appearance of cockroaches had contaminated the little food they had left. Ants and mosquitoes would quietly appear and bite people after they fell asleep.???? 3
At first, no one noticed it. They only wondered why their bodies would be red and swollen after waking up. They felt weak and sore all over.
However, the mutation and evolution of animals were far from over. The creatures became more and more terrifying. Gradually, there were some people who died because their muscles dissolved and their organs failed after being bitten. It was very tragic.
Some of them were even sucked dry by several large mosquitoes in their sleep. Someone had once posted a video online. Late at night, a person was deeply asleep when a large mosquito stabbed him in the neck with a beak that was five centimeters long. However, he did not seem to feel any pain at all and did not wake up at ail. In less than two minutes, his face gradually turned pale and lost color. His body gradually withered, and finally, he was left with only skin and bones. The death was terrifying. After the mosquito sucked a person dry, its body gradually grew larger and evolved in an unknown way.
For a time, news about mutated animals killing humans spread all over the internet. Another wave of panic spread around the world.
More and more people were eager to obtain special abilities by drinking purified acid rain, but not everyone could successfully awaken. A large number Of people could not withstand the impact of the mutation on their bodies and never woke up. Only a very small number of people could become superpowered people.
Later on, someone took a sample survey and published data on the Internet. Among the people who drank acid rain, 50% of them had mutated, and only about 5% of the mutated people could successfully awaken. The rest who did not successfully awaken died without exception.
AS more and more people with abilities awakened, everyone came to a conclusion. Those who were able to successfully awaken their superpowers all had very strong physical fitness without exception. Most of them were soldiers and policemen.
Some people with weak bodies chose to give up under such bleak conditions and no longer insisted on awakening their superpowers. If one’s physical fitness was insufficient, even if they mutated, there was a high chance that they would die.
Nowadays, when a family has someone with a supernatural power, they can often hunt mutated creatures for food. However, most people did not have such a situation and had no choice but to seek help from the government.
A month later, the officials received many phone calls and complaints before they realized that the situation seemed to be a little serious. The officials were still recruiting people to distribute deworming drugs. As a result, the people sent by the officials were eaten by groups of rats.
One or ten rats was nothing, but if anyone encountered a hundred or a thousand rats, they would probably die with regret.
AS the acid rain continued to fail, more and more mutated creatures appeared on the streets. They were still in the process of evolution. Once the plague really appeared, although it was not a serious illness, a large number of people would die under the extreme shortage of medicine. The creatures’ bodies also became bigger and bigger, and more and more terrifying.
There were even rats and cats that were about the size of an adult on the streets. The most unbelievable thing was that there were long-tailed mutated animals with fish heads and human bodies on land.
Their eyes were filled with a bloodthirsty light, and they had fangs on their faces. Their blue skin was like the sea, and their fingertips were extremely Sharp, like sharp knives. Their long tails swayed from time to time, emitting a terrifying aura.
People could often hear hair-raising screams. It was very likely that there were animals mutating and evolving nearby, or it was the voice of a mutated person. Originally, many people did not dare to go out to look for food. It was not until the appearance of awakened superpowered people that the situation improved. At this moment, in an abandoned factory, a monster with a fish head and a human body blocked the way of a group of people. Some timid people were scared out of their wits on the spot, and some bold people tried to attack it, but their bodies were easily torn apart.
These people wanted to run, but with the monster’s speed, there was no hope of survival. freewebnove(l)
These people were all residents of the same old neighborhood. Because of the acid rain, their residential buildings could no longer be inhabited.
Some people who were not afraid of death and were extremely hungry began to catch mutated animals to eat. At first, it was fine. They even promoted it to others. Cats, mice, and small insects were their targets. They only needed to wait at home for the prey.
There were even snakes as thick as an arm on the streets. Everyone opened their doors and windows to lure them into their homes. In the true sense of the word, they were like a nest of snakes and rats.
However, as these animals continued to evolve, they seemed to have developed intelligence and were actually able to avoid the traps set by humans. Moreover their bodies became larger, and they became more aggressive. 𝘧𝘳𝘦𝘦𝓌𝘦𝘣𝑛𝘰𝓋𝘦𝘭.𝑐𝘰𝓂
If it was during the day, people could still manage to drive away these animals but at night, they had to rest. They could not tolerate the news of people dying’ every night.????????????????????????????????? &
Therefore, everyone discussed and decided to come out and find a shelter together. They also tried to contact Ye Xingchen’s team, but Ye Xingchen refused to take in these “refugees..”
