A highly noisy one, a hypnotic murmur. The visible threat, zombies. A feast for the plants.
A profound silence, a heart-pounding quiet. Concealing a great crisis, water shortage, a disaster for the plants!
There used to be a saying among country farmers: No rain for five days, a minor drought; no rain for ten days, a severe drought; no rain for a month, the earth smokes.
It means: During the dog days of summer, if there's no rain for five days, the land begins to dry up; if no rain for ten days, the drought becomes severe; if no rain for a month, it means a drought disaster is imminent.
In this silent, hot, and dry weather, there are still people walking outside.
Though hot, the threat of zombies has diminished significantly. Seizing this season, many people begin to search for basic supplies.
The hot weather continued for another 5 days.
It has been 15 days without rain, not just without rain, but 15 days of scorching sun, without a cloudy day.
