Chapter 187: Black Rain
Qin Yi meditated but it appeared as if she was asleep to others.
Lin Bai and the others stopped chatting so that she could have a better rest.
The scenery outside the window was gloomy, reflecting the feelings in Yun Huan’s cold peach blossom eyes. Nobody knew what was on Yun Huan’s mind at the moment, but this corner felt extremely cold.
After being on the road for some time, it started to pour. The sound of the rain hitting against the car woke Qin Yi, who was meditating.
Qin Yi opened her eyes, which were clear and bright, feeling more clear-headed now. When she heard the pitter-patter of the rain, she looked outside, seeing that the originally bright sky had turned dark and gloomy. Those raindrops looked black as well, saturated with eeriness.
Qin Yi was flabbergasted. Why did this black rain arrive so much earlier than before? In her previous life, the black rain appeared about a year after the apocalypse began.
Qin Yi remembered that quite a large number of ordinary people died in this black rain and many turned into zombies. The black rain’s impact on humans was not minor – it made the zombies stronger, and after the rain, the first batch of ability plants and animals began to appear.
The car suddenly stopped, and Lin Qing looked at the heavy rain outside, confusion lacing his voice as he asked, “It was perfectly fine just now, why did it start to rain all of a sudden? We won’t be able to reach the base on time, all because of this annoying rain.”
Yun Huan opened the window and put his hand out, a few droplets of black water splashing onto his hand. He closed the window, felt the black raindrops, and said, “Wait, this rain is black. It’s quite strange, so we must be careful.”
They had never heard of black rain before, but it was the apocalypse now and any number of strange things could happen. Lin Qing and the others didn’t panic, but this black rain was a little scary and they didn’t know how dangerous it truly was.
Qin Yi’s eyes flashed. She saw Yun Huan putting his hand out just now, but she didn’t say anything, as the black rain didn’t have any effect on ability users. Since everyone in their team was an ability user, she didn’t have to worry.
As for Gao Yuan’s side, Yang Qingtian seemed to be the only ordinary person on the team.
As she thought about it, there was a knock on the car window and Yun Huan opened the window. It was Gao Yuan.
Gao Yuan was holding an umbrella and looked quite worried. “Captain Yun, it’s such a heavy rain, we can’t go on anymore. Let’s find somewhere to rest first. I remember seeing a gas station up ahead. Let’s go over there. Oh right, Captain Yun, since this rain is black and really weird, you guys need to be careful.”
Yun Huan nodded, his countenance indifferent, without a hint of panic present, making the anxious Gao Yuan to calm down slightly. This person had a sort of magic power – as long as Yun Huan was around, everything was fine.
“We got it, thank you for your concern, Captain Gao. This rain is quite unusual, so let’s find a place first,” Lin Qing smiled and replied.
“Alright, I’ll get going first,” Gao Yuan turned around and left after speaking. It was better to look for a place first, this rain was too ominous.
The car started again, and Lin Qing looked at the black rain worriedly, “Boss, what do you think about this black rain?”
Humans would always fear the unknown.
Yun Huan used a clean towel to wipe the raindrops off of his hand, saying, “I don’t know, but let’s try to avoid it.”
Lin Qing nodded. Avoiding this rain was very easy; they wore cloaks and put a raincoat on over it, so this rain wouldn’t be able to touch them.
It continued to rain, painting a gloomy picture: black night, black rain, and the occasional howls of zombies. The night was doomed to be unpeaceful.
