Chapter 103 Waiting for the Rain to Come
It is always bright during the high-temperature stage, and there are no clouds in the sky. Maybe it is because I know that I can't block the sun, so I don't cover it at all. At night, the moon hangs in the sky like a light bulb, so it is always bright at night.
Since it began to rain, thin clouds gradually gathered in the sky, and as the day progressed they piled up into thick dark clouds. They could barely block the sun during the day, and even made the moon hazy at night.
A few days before the heavy rain officially entered the stage, the dark clouds were already very thick, which was fine during the day. When she looked outside every night, it became increasingly dark.
But now, she stood in front of the window, and when she looked closely, she could only see her own reflection reflected in the window.
A little uneasy.
After the last countdown switch, she was mentally prepared for the fact that "the moment when a certain natural disaster stage begins does not mean that a natural disaster is coming", so now she can calmly deal with the weather without heavy rain.
She moved closer, almost putting her nose against the window, and put her hands on both sides of her eyes, barely able to avoid the reflection, but she couldn't see anything.
She obviously watched the clouds gather one by one and pile up layer by layer. Why did it look like a whole curtain now, covering the sky?
She only watched it for a short while before she had to leave - it was still hot, even though the mobile air conditioners in the bedroom were working, and the fans placed in the corners were moving air throughout the room, even hitting her calves. on, but that's hot too.
She wiped the sweat that had formed on her head for a short while and stepped away from the window, but she did not block the cabinet for the time being. Instead, she took out a box of ice cream and tried to wait for the rain to come.
There are three flavors in the small carton, one is grapefruit jasmine, one is pistachio, and one is coconut. Each of the three flavors occupies a corner. You can eat it alone, or you can eat multiple flavors together.
She even dug this box herself - in an ice cream shop, each flavor is presented to customers in a square ice cream plate. The beautiful cream and pattern make people want to dig a ball on it and go.
After being copied into the space, of course she could hold the whole plate and chew it if she wanted to, but it was obviously more convenient to put it in a box and hold it in her hand to eat for leisure, so she dug a lot of it when she had nothing to do.
Each flavor comes in a separate box, and there are also random combinations of flavors like this one. Some stores dig out balls, while others simply fill them into boxes. She found that scooping out ice cream balls is also quite interesting.
It was pitch black outside the window. Wei Jiao saw her own shadow reflected on the glass by the warm yellow light, and reached out to dim the light a little, fearing that it would be too conspicuous from the outside.
In fact, the window glass she chose has a new anti-peeping effect. Even if the lights are turned on indoors in the dark, it can effectively filter out part of the light, but it is never too much to be cautious.
The rain hadn't come yet, and it sounded very quiet outside. She simply concentrated on eating the three pints she filled.
Yuzu Jasmine ice cream is rubbed with a lot of grapefruit peels to increase the taste, and the fresh floral fragrance is filled with a hint of citrus sweetness and sourness; pistachio ice cream has particles in it, which has a mellow taste and rich texture; coconut flavor ice cream actually has large pieces of coconut in it. The meat tastes rich and interesting.
Bored of waiting, she tried a few flavor mixes and went to play with the calendar.
In the blank space of the previous day on the calendar, there is a number "84" written, which means that the high temperature phase lasted for 84 days.
She took out a pen and re-wrote the number 1 on this new day. After thinking about it, she bought a bunch of stickers from Goldfinger, cut out a pattern of dark clouds and rain, and stuck it on it.
I found another one with a sun pattern, flipped through the calendar, and stuck it next to the "1" in the high temperature stage.
Turning back the calendar, she asked in her mind: "System, how many days will this last? What will be the next natural disaster?"
System Broadcast reported: "It is expected that the heavy rain disaster stage will last for 100 to 120 days, and the next stage will be an extreme cold disaster."
Wei Jiao sighed subconsciously, it was going to be freezing after it rained.
After a little counting, the heavy rain phase will last for four months, until March next year; the high temperature phase lasts for more than two months, which is quite a long time.
She flipped the calendar again, leaving only the thin last page, and sighed.
The rainstorm hasn't come yet.
She had finished eating the ice cream, and the heat from the window had long since died down. She looked at the time and saw that her exercise time had been delayed for quite some time.
Forget it, don't wait here, it doesn't look like it's going to be raining for a while.
She got up first and went to open the window for ventilation. It was not completely silent outside. There were always some rustling natural sounds. She poked her face out and felt very stuffy.
After the ventilation was completed, Wei Jiao entered the space, enlarged the window that could see the outside world, and put in the windows and monitors at the same time. Wei Jiao began her routine exercise.
Warm up first, then do a set of Tai Chi, look out the window carefully and then listen to the sound. If there is no thunder or rain, continue to exercise.
In fact, she has been doing girl group aerobics during this time, but at the moment she mainly relies on her hearing to tell whether it is raining, so she doesn't dare to make too much noise.
The bedroom is already very soundproofed. I could hear rolling thunder in the past, but I don't know if there will be thunder before the heavy rain this time, and I don't know if I can hear the sound of rain.
So she simply stopped the music she usually played during exercise and started practicing boringly.
After practicing all the physical fitness and equipment, the rain still didn't fall, but she heard a few muffled rolling thunders in the middle, which made her go out to check several times, but in the end she didn't have any rain ideas.
It's annoying to hear thunder but no rain.
After resting, I adjusted my breath and physical strength, and then moved to the living room.
First, she went to the balcony to ventilate. As soon as she opened the window, she felt like there was a slight breeze outside. She stretched out her hand and tried it. Sure enough, the stuffy air moved a little.
...Although I don’t know if these natural laws will still hold true after the end of the world, it seems like it’s going to rain soon.
After ventilating the room, she played with the electric baton for a while in the living room, and then went into the room to continue. The temperature is really too high to stay outside.
Recently, she is a little more addicted to shooting guns than using electric batons. Whether it is rubber bullets, live ammunition, or even nail guns, she is a bit addicted. Anyway, in the space, the venue is sufficient and safe, and there will be no gunshots.
Compared with going to a shooting gallery to spend money to shoot guns, this is so cool.
I fired a gun for a while indulgently to practice my accuracy. I also practiced with the electric baton, simulated fighting with imaginary enemies several times, and brainstormed some strategies for fighting the enemy.
I also practiced weapon switching. I seamlessly switched the electric baton into a knife. In fact, I used a very fast speed to retract the electric baton and change it into a knife at the same time. It was a little awkward at first, but I got used to it as I practiced.
It feels like it indirectly improves the operational proficiency in using space.
