Snowstorm: I'm Super Rich in the Apocalypse-Chapter 398: Super Strong Ultraviolet Rays

The old man was quite satisfied with Gu Pan’s attitude, "You young people still lack life experience, so you must learn more from your elders in the future. You need to be open-minded. You don’t know the benefits of the sun, do you? I happen to have time today, so I’ll teach you."

Without waiting for their response, the old man began, "First of all, sunlight can prevent skin diseases; secondly, it can enhance physical fitness and can also provide calcium; lastly, it can promote metabolism and relieve stress. Do you know why sunlight can treat skin diseases?"

Seeing that they did not speak, the old man continued, "Because sunlight contains ultraviolet rays, and ultraviolet rays can disinfect. Then do you know why it can supplement calcium?"

Saying so, he pointed to Gu Pan, "You answer."

Truth be told, Gu Pan didn’t like people who lacked personal boundaries, nor did she like this paternalistic style of education, and it had been hard enough to get a rest at noon, so who had the time to stand there answering these useless questions?

But considering the other party meant well, she forced a smile, "Thank you, uncle, for the guidance. We haven’t eaten yet, and we need to go back for lunch, so we won’t waste your time anymore." freeweɓnovel-cøm

Her words politely made her stance clear.

However, the old man was somewhat displeased, "You young people really don’t know what’s good for you. I’m kindly teaching you knowledge, what kind of attitude is this? When I was a school principal, no student would dare to talk to me like this."

Lu Ruisheng frowned at the old man, "We are not your students, and this is not back then, this is the apocalypse."

After saying that, he turned to Qin Qianqian, "We haven’t had lunch yet, so we’re going to eat first. If you need something, come to us."

Qin Qianqian nodded in agreement, "Okay."

Gu Pan waved to Qin Qianqian, and then she and Lu Ruisheng held hands and walked towards their car.

The old man, infuriated, stood up wanting to stop Gu Pan and Lu Ruisheng, but when he met Lu Ruisheng’s eyes, he backed down, realizing this man was not easy to educate.

Gu Pan and Lu Ruisheng left, leaving the old man deeply frustrated. He turned to the other three people and said, "You three must not be like those two, having no manners at all."

Qin Qianqian wouldn’t allow anyone to speak ill of Gu Pan, "Uncle, politeness is for those who are polite." After finishing her words, she walked with Wang Ke and Zhang Manman out of earshot from the old man, no longer paying him any mind.

The old man was extremely angry. His own son was the Base Commander and he himself was a school principal. Why were these kids not listening to his earnest teachings? They were all rude young people.

Gu Pan and Lu Ruisheng found their situation somewhat helpless back in the car. Really, nobody liked to be preached to normally, and even less so now.

After eating lunch and taking a short nap, they set off again.

They smoothly reached the sixth day, estimating that in another three or four days they’d arrive at the main base, which lightened everyone’s mood considerably.

It was noon again, and many people were sunbathing, discussing the various benefits of sun exposure.

But as Gu Pan watched the sunlight blazing down as if it wanted to melt the ground, she felt something was off.

This heat differed from the previous extreme weather; it was cool at night and windy, whereas now the heat was solely from the sun, and the rays were too intense.

Fortunately, they both had thoroughly prepared, wearing two layers of sun-protective clothing and helmets with sunshades. Though hot, they felt secure.

Gu Pan frowned and asked Lu Ruisheng quietly, "Sunbathing is good, but is it really okay to sunbathe like this?"

Lu Ruisheng also felt something was wrong with the sun, "Why do I feel this sun isn’t quite right?"

With that said, they both became serious.

Suddenly, a woman screamed, "Why can’t I see anything anymore?"

Gu Pan and Lu Ruisheng stopped, unsure of the situation, wanting to check.

Soon after, a military medic came and moved the woman to a shaded spot near the vehicle.

The doctor then examined her eyes, "It should be from the ultraviolet rays being too strong, causing damage to her eyes. The cornea has UV burns, showing punctate and patchy epithelial peeling. For now, there’s no cure; she can only recuperate."

This was the most often heard phrase at the base now, that one could only recuperate, as there was no medicine available.

The woman began to cry in fear, "Does that mean I’m going to be blind? What am I supposed to do?"

Everyone who heard this became afraid too, fearing problems with their own eyes.

Of course, at this point, others also felt something was off and expressed their concerns, "My eyes have also been somewhat blurry recently and tend to water. It couldn’t be the same issue, could it?"

He didn’t finish speaking when yet another person added, "Me too, the corners of my eyes are inflamed. I thought it was just because of the heat."

As they discussed, it quickly became apparent that it wasn’t just one person’s issue.

Meanwhile, up ahead chaos erupted. Gu Pan and Lu Ruisheng followed the doctor there.

They saw the old man who had earlier been questioning them lying at the roadside under the sun, his skin burnt, covered in red spots and blisters, and significantly darker than before, almost unrecognizable.

After examining him, the doctor concluded that he had severe sunburn and heatstroke but could not conduct more tests until they reached the main base.

Meanwhile, several others also had varying degrees of sunburn. Although everyone previously thought sunbathing was beneficial, they were now frightened and came to consult the doctor.

After checking, the doctor could only conclude that these were all sunburns and advised everyone to be cautious.

At this moment, Gu Pan and Lu Ruisheng felt even heavier at heart. They quickly went to find Chen Shaonan, who although wasn’t a geography teacher, had mentioned that he had taken geography courses in college and knew about weather and natural phenomena, surely more than most.

When Chen Shaonan saw them coming, he hurried over, sharing his concerns, "I was about to look for you. Something’s wrong with this weather."

Hearing his words, Lu Ruisheng hurriedly said, "Teacher Chen, come with us to see my dad."

The three of them rushed to where Lu Jianguo was.

Lu Jianguo and several leaders were discussing the weather. Seeing Gu Pan and Lu Ruisheng arrive, Lu Jianguo asked them to continue the meeting while he stepped aside to inquire, "Teacher Chen has also come over, is there a problem?"

Chen Shaonan said, "Base Commander, we feel that this sun isn’t normal. I had some elective geography courses at university. I don’t know much, but I do know that this sunlight isn’t ordinary."

Lu Jianguo didn’t conceal anything, "We’ve also noticed this issue. If we’re not mistaken, it must be due to ultraviolet radiation."
