Chapter 214 - 203: Heavy Rain
With a "crack," the booming sound of thunder exploded almost directly in the ear, startling Manbao, who jumped in her dream, then groggily opened her eyes just as a bolt of lightning streaked across the sky, illuminating almost half of the heavens. It was only after the lightning that the rumbling thunder followed.
Manbao was so scared that she started to cry.
Zhou Silang in the neighboring room was also awakened, the thunder was so loud he couldn’t hear Manbao crying, but he somehow knew she was frightened and quickly jumped out of bed, threw on his clothes, and ran out.
Lately, because of the heat, Manbao had been sleeping with the windows open, with just the mosquito net lowered to keep out the mosquitoes.
Zhou Silang rushed in and saw the mosquito net pulled back, Manbao sitting on the bed, wiping her tears by herself.
He hurried to embrace her, "I’ll take you to your mother."
Keke was rather helpless, it had been consoling its host not to be afraid, but it seemed to little effect.
Seeing Zhou Silang about to carry the host away, Keke subconsciously scanned outside, and the data it collected was not good. The free water molecules in the air were too dense, and right above seemed to be a thunderstorm cloud cluster that was not small...
It immediately cautioned the host, "Host, you’d better not leave the house, at least not run out from under the eaves."
Being held by Zhou Silang, Manbao wasn’t so scared anymore, "Why?"
Keke solemnly said, "Because there’s a high probability that lightning could strike a person."
