Chapter 45. Cleaning Up

Chapter 45: 45. Cleaning Up

Cleaning supplies, buckets, and even bleach was taken out.

"So thorough?" Dylan asked as he picked the mop.

"Just in case," Anna replied.

"There will be too many cases in the future that there’s no time to investigate each and every single one." Dylan looked at the heavy rainstorm from the window a distance away from him.

When he tossed the two bodies out, he could feel the heavy rain hitting his body. During this time, he was sure that there wouldn’t be any people who could travel in this weather.

And when they could go, it was too late.

How many people would commit crime in the name of ’surviving?’

They just wanted to live and it would be hard to blame them in this situation where food and water is dwindling.

"What are you thinking?" Anna asked.

"I’m thinking when they’re going to send the water," Dylan replied. "The group administrator said that there will be water sent, but it’s not likely to be done anytime soon."

Anna was stunned.

She glanced at the heavy rainstorm outside. It has been more than a week. Even if most people have enough food, their water supplies has already run out because they didn’t usually save it.

Some smart people will definitely stack the water before the water was cut off.

But some others took it for granted and couldn’t even react at this phenomenon.

At that time, what would they do under the situation of thirst and hunger?

This is just the beginning.

"They can still gather rain water and boil it to drink," Anna said quietly. "It wouldn’t likely to cause any problem."

There is still electricity at 6 PM thanks to the administrator, so they could still boil the water. Even if they felt uncomfortable for drinking untreated water, but there was simply no other choice.

Anyway, they wouldn’t die from drinking rain water.

At most, they will get sick.

And if they were unlucky enough, they might die in the future. But that was something that they would only worry about in the far future and not now.

"Right." Dylan looked outside. His eyes narrowed slightly. "What I’m worried about is the safety of the rain water."

"Huh?" Anna was pouring the bleach on the floor and mopped it. Dylan had already cleaned all the blood, so she only cleaned up the traces.

"You know that the rain water came from the condensation of water vapor, right?" Dylan looked at Anna helplessly. "But in the situation where the water of the entire world is combined like this, tell me, do you think the rain water is clean?"

Anna blinked her eyes and looked at the window.

Remembering how dark the flood water was.... Anna honestly couldn’t say that it was clean.

"But water vapor is only the water, right?"

"In a way, it’s true." Dylan rubbed his chin. "But there are some substances that will also evaporate into the air. And our rain water is not exactly very clean because of the pollution gas produced by the power plants and transportation."

Anna was still mopping the floor as she thought about Dylan’s words. "You’re talking about sulfur dioxide and nitrogen oxides?"

She seemed to have read about it.

There were some reports, telling about the bad of some industries pollution because it caused rain water pH to be much lower. In some areas, the rain water even turned into acid rain because the water vapor combined with the substance.

But Anna didn’t know the details because she only read in passing. After all, even if she knew that the rain might be bad, it didn’t have much effect on her who didn’t want to spend her time in the rain.

"Yes. The rain water didn’t turn into acid rain because the pH is not that low, but it’s still much lower than ordinary rain water that should have pH closer to neutral." Dylan looked at Anna. "In wilderness, the water is still relatively clean, but it’s hard to expect the rain water in cities to be the same. If it’s only for washing, bathing, or watering plants, it’s fine. But if you’re talking about drinking.... You might want to filter and boil them. Especially if you didn’t collect them on the roof directly but let the water flow from your roof or wall."

Anna listened carefully and chuckled. "You have a lot of knowledge."

"You do know that I dream to become a teacher, don’t you, Sister?" Dylan looked at Anna helplessly.

He often looked up to various types of information in the internet because he wanted to make sure that he didn’t share wrong information.

The knowledge will be important in the future when he truly needed it.

Or just to share it with others.

"Yes, I know." Anna smiled.
