Chapter 524: Poisonous Fog Arrives
Taking advantage of the break between the workers' work, Xiao Jin walked to the window and looked down.
As it was almost noon, there were a lot more people on the road. The sun was shining brightly outside, and the trees were green, just like countless ordinary hot summer days.
But they don't know that the world is beginning to collapse at a rapid pace.
About twenty minutes later, the workers had completed all the work, and Xiao Jin paid them five times the agreed amount of delayed wages.
When sending them away, Xiao Jin handed them a few N95 masks and said, "Put them on. I saw in the weather forecast that there will be heavy fog soon."
Several masters were stunned. Although they didn't understand what was impressive, they still took the masks, thanked them and left.
After everyone left, Xiao Jin immediately checked all the doors and windows.
The security door was locked and all the windows were closed. For safety reasons, Xiao Jin also put a layer of plastic sheeting inside the glass partition of the entrance hall.
Everything is ready now, and there are still fifteen minutes before the poisonous fog arrives.
Xiao Jin glanced at the packed storage space, then stood in the middle of the renovated apartment, examining his achievements.
"Yes, this morning's work was not in vain."
Hang the anti-virus equipment by the door. This will be Xiao Jin's exclusive protective equipment when he goes out. Unless there is an accident, this set of equipment will never leave the glass partition and reach the inner room.
Xiao Jin didn’t know if what she did was useful, but at least she tried her best.
11: 29.
Xiao Jin stood in front of the window, looking out at the still peaceful city. There were still people walking on the street, and girls in cool clothes were laughing and playing.
[Countdown to poisonous fog: 00:00:58]
The system is quite user-friendly this time, and even provides players with a disaster countdown reminder.
【00:00:05...4...3...2...1】
As the last second passed, a wisp of white mist rose quietly outside the window.
Xiao Jin leaned forward slightly, staring outside intently.
But she was not stupid. Before she fully understood the characteristics of the poisonous fog, Xiao Jin still carefully put on the mask on her face.
At first, the white mist outside the window was diffused, like a layer of soft gauze, covering the entire city.
Xiao Jin stood in front of the window, observing quietly.
The fog was very light, no different from ordinary morning fog. Pedestrians on the street were still hurrying on their way, and no one noticed anything unusual.
Xiao Jin raised his hand and checked the indicator light of the fresh air system. It was green, and the air quality was normal.
She carefully checked the sealing of the doors and windows again, and only took off the mask on her face after confirming that no trace of mist had seeped in.
"It seems that the initial reaction is not significant." Xiao Jin whispered.
Now she felt relieved.
Xiao Jin sat on the sofa, relaxed. She quickly looked through the news on her phone and indeed did not find any reports about the white fog.
The government seemed to have not yet realized the abnormality of the white fog, or rather, they had no idea what the fog meant.
Xiao Jin snorted and threw his phone onto the sofa.
Since we are safe for now, let’s fill our stomachs first.
She took out the food she bought in the morning from the space - fried noodles, roujiamo, braised chicken legs, and also picked up a bottle of iced cola.
The aroma of food filled the small apartment. Xiao Jin sat in front of the coffee table and ate slowly.
After dinner, she even lay back on the bed leisurely, turned on the TV, and randomly picked a melodrama to watch.
The male and female protagonists in the play were arguing, and the female protagonist hysterically yelled "You don't understand me at all." Xiao Jin sneered: "Boring."
But she didn't change the channel either.
To kill time, this kind of earthy thing is the most suitable!
As it gradually darkened, Xiao Jin stood up and turned on the light.
The apartment was not very soundproof, and she could clearly hear the noise outside. It seemed that the resident next door had returned, the key was inserted into the keyhole, the door was pushed open, and then there were heavy footsteps.
The person upstairs was walking in high heels, and the crisp sound of "dong dong dong" reached Xiao Jin's ears. He just didn't know why this person wore high heels at home.
Everything was normal, as if the white fog outside was just ordinary fog!
Xiao Jin walked to the window, slowly opened a corner of the curtain, and looked out.
The fog is thicker than at noon.
Originally it was just a thin layer, but now it has covered the entire street like milk. The light from the street lamps was swallowed by the fog, and could only illuminate a vague halo.
Xiao Jin narrowed his eyes and tapped the window frame lightly with his fingers.
"Soon... this kind of calm will not last more than three days at most." This was because the mission was extended, so Xiao Jin estimated it to be three days.
If we still calculate based on seven days, I'm afraid there will be a reaction within two hours.
Today is the first day of the game. There is no danger, so Xiao Jin simply goes to bed early.
Lying on the bed and clearing her mind, she fell asleep in less than a minute.
........................
Xiao Jin's biological clock was very accurate. She woke up at daybreak.
But she didn't rush to get up, but listened to the noise outside for a while. The residents next door seemed to have gone out to work, and the house was quiet.
Xiao Jin got out of bed, washed up, and started doing warm-up exercises on the floor.
Due to limited space in the small apartment, she could only do some simple stretching, push-ups and squats, but this was enough for her.
If nothing unexpected happens, Xiao Jin will get up early to exercise all year round. For her, her body must be kept in the best condition at all times.
After the exercise, Xiao Jin took a shower and then took out breakfast from the space, a cup of soy milk, five fried dough sticks, two tea eggs and a tray of steamed buns.
Holding soy milk and chewing fried dough sticks, she walked to the window, opened the curtains, and looked out the window while eating.
But then, Xiao Jin stopped moving.
At this moment, the fog outside the window was so thick that the street was almost invisible.
Originally, you could vaguely see the outline of the building opposite, but now, there is only a vast expanse of white.
Xiao Jin's brows furrowed slightly.
"It's faster than expected!"
She put down the soy milk, picked up her phone, and looked at the news again.
This time, there was finally a report.
[Breaking news: Unknown fog has appeared in many areas, which has seriously endangered the safety of citizens' travel...]
[At 4:32 a.m., a major chain accident occurred on the Northern Interchange, killing 4 people and injuring 10. ]
[Experts remind: Try to reduce going out on foggy days to avoid inhaling too much wet and cold air]
Xiao Jin sneered.
"Cold and damp air?"
"Oh, you shit expert, wait for death."
