The whole factory was in a commotion, and everyone was extremely excited.

People often talk about timely rain, and today's sudden downpour was absolutely a timely rain for all of the survivors at "Zhongkun Textile."

Lin Junfu expressed his sentiments with sighs of relief, also secretly glad that he adopted the young people's suggestion, after all, they had only finished the preparations for rainwater collection just this morning.

If the plan had been delayed even a little, they would have been completely unprepared tonight.

"Everyone, move quickly, grab whatever can hold water and take it outside, try to collect as much water as possible." Tang Xiaoquan stared outside with anxious eyes, not a trace of joy visible despite the rain's arrival. On the contrary, there was a hint of worry between his brows.

So what was he worried about? It's simple, the duration of the rain.

Although Tang Xiaoquan had no expertise in meteorology and didn't know how to read the sky, he had heard of the term "thunderstorm."

So, judging by the current fierce downpour, he was very concerned that the rain would come quickly and leave even quicker.

With this in mind, Tang Xiaoquan didn't hesitate any longer and immediately picked up a makeshift water trough next to him, joining the team in collecting water.

Nearly twenty people, amid bustling activity and joyous excitement, filled the vast factory yard quickly with all kinds of containers, large and small.

Looking at this scene, Tang Xiaoquan found it somewhat amusing; he never thought he would collect life-sustaining water in such a manner during his lifetime.

"Hey, guys, stop hiding inside, come out and enjoy this!" Wang Qiang shouted, venting as he shook his rain-soaked hair vigorously. After placing the basins, he didn't return to take shelter like the others but stood alone in the pouring rain, letting it drench him.

Perhaps feeling the same enjoyment, Wu Chao, A Cheng, and Hu Xiaodong gradually joined Wang Qiang in the "shower in the rain."

As more people joined in the rain, even the women, who had been watching from the windows, began to gather courage and hesitantly stepped out.

Ultimately, except for the patients in the isolation ward who couldn't get wet, everyone else in the factory ended up standing in the heavy rain.

Seeing the craziness in front of her, Wei Yang couldn't help but frown with her delicate eyebrows. She understood everyone's long-awaited desire for rain, but catching a cold would be not worth it.

To prevent such a situation, Wei Yang also headed into the rain, but before she could find Lin Junfu, the latter waved and called her over:

"Hi, Wei, could you come over for a moment?"

"Sure, I'm coming!" Wei Yang ran over to Lin Junfu in a few quick steps, offering a polite smile before asking, "What can I do for you, Mr. Lin?"

"Oh, it's like this, you know most of our people haven't showered in nearly a month, so I thought we could take advantage of the rain and take a good shower. But since men and women are different, I'd like to ask you and Aunt Zhao to take the women to the back of the factory so that we don't interfere with each other."

When Lin Junfu finished speaking, he subconsciously glanced at Wei Yang, noticing her slightly unnatural expression and quickly asked, "Wei, what's wrong?"

With Lin Junfu's inquiry, Wei Yang immediately snapped back to reality.

Indeed! It's been a long while since everyone had a shower, and she didn't want to dampen their spirits at this moment.

She could just heat more water in the boiler room, allowing everyone to have a hot shower after enjoying the rain.

In this way, everyone's need to wash would be satisfied, and it would also help conserve water.

Thinking about it, Wei Yang smiled again and said, "Haha, I'm fine, Mr. Lin. I'll go find Aunt Zhao and take the women away."

Wei Yang and Aunt Zhao were very efficient. Due to the rare rainfall, the women's spirits were high, and they almost immediately followed Wei and Aunt Zhao to the back of the factory without much opposition.

Once the women had left, Lin Junfu was the first to strip off his coat and, in his hearty voice, said, "Brothers, stop wrapping up so tight, let's wash clean!"

This remark immediately got a positive response from everyone, especially Wang Qiang and Wen Quanfeng, who not only stripped off their clothes but also started dancing disgustingly in the rain.

Fortunately, the rain curtain was dense enough that nobody minded.

Slowly removing his shirt, Tang Xiaoquan's slightly lean body gradually revealed itself as his clothes came off.

It was then that Tang Xiaoquan suddenly realized that his originally pale skin had transformed into a healthy bronze, and firm muscle lines had appeared on his once flabby arms.

No doubt, these are the things every man yearns for.

What was somewhat amusing to Tang Xiaoquan was that these changes happened because of that damned "apocalypse."

This must be the thing they call pros and cons, he mused for a moment, then completely stripped himself.

The long-dried skin finally enjoyed the rain's moisture, and it was an indescribable pleasure, making Tang Xiaoquan feel like shouting.

All the survivors were like children again, splashing rainwater at each other, chasing recklessly, laughing, and running in the rain. All the suppressed emotions seemed to be released at this moment.

The carefree shower lasted for almost half an hour, and the "thunderstorm" that Tang Xiaoquan worried about did not happen.

It seemed as if Heaven was unusually merciful today, not stopping the rain.

After the cold shower, under Wei Yang's arrangement, everyone took turns having a hot water shower in the bathhouse.

This time, they weren't restricted by water use, and the abundant water supply compensated for yesterday's shortcomings.

After everyone was washed and changed into fresh clothes, it was already close to midnight, and they returned to their respective dormitories and lay comfortably on their "beds."

The sky remained cloudy, and the rain continued to pour like before, but the hearts of all survivors were as high as a bright moon in the sky.

This was destined to be a sleepless night, a night of joy.
