Chapter 266: Great Drought
"Oh no! Squeak! Hmm-"
The person on the radio seemed to be very panicked, and was not familiar with the buttons, and in a panic, he accidentally touched a button, and a very harsh noise came from the radio.
"Miss Xiao Tao (Young Master Bao Jianfeng) is the radio studio upstairs." Fike has immediately informed Xiao Tao and Bao Jianfeng of the source of the broadcast.
Everyone immediately put down the work at hand and gathered in the elevator. Lu Tianyang stayed alone to appease the masses.
When everyone took the elevator to the second floor above ground, they didn't wait to enter the broadcasting room, and Zhaofeng, Professor Liu, Wei Hongwei and others were already in front of them. Their faces were very bad.
"What's wrong?" Bao Jianfeng immediately greeted him and asked.
Zhaofeng and the others shook their heads with pale faces, directly grabbed the arm of Bao Jianfeng and the others, and led them to the floor-to-ceiling windows on the second floor, motioning for them to look out. Seeing this, the hearts of Bao Jianfeng and the others suddenly chuckled. It's hard to put into words what you see outside the window.
As far as the eye can see, it looks like when heavy snow falls, and there is only one color left between the heavens and the earth, but this color changes from white to dusk. Sheng Hui's second floor above ground was not too high, but they could see two hundred meters away. The buildings of slightly inferior quality within 200 meters all cracked as if they had been burned, and the trees and plants on the roadside that had been lush and crisp a few days ago were also dry and unsightly. This qiē looks very erratic. It's a mirage that appears in the heat of the day!
Zooming in closer, everyone noticed that the floor-to-ceiling windows were dirty. There's a thick layer of yellow sand on it!
At the same time, everyone suddenly felt a burst of heat in their bodies, and their foreheads were already covered with fine beads of sweat.
One of Zhaofeng's men handed over a thermometer at the right time. The number on it actually shows 34 degrees.
Mega: They don't have to say anything. Bao Jianfeng and they already understood in seconds, after the heavy snow, the sky changed again, and this time they ushered in a big drought. The heat of the desert has dried up a bit of moisture on the surface outside. Before, they all stayed in Shenghui's underground and didn't feel it, but now the temperature in Shenghui's above-ground building has also soared.
You must know that the interior of Shenghui is 24 hours a day, and there is a central air control to control the temperature. However, the temperature on the ground still reached 34 degrees, which shows that the heat this time is even worse than the heavy snow. I'm afraid the temperature outside will double again.
Do you have to go on like this?!
"Professor Liu, our ......"
didn't wait for Bao Jianfeng to finish asking. Professor Liu had already shook his head wistfully.
It's over, it's all over. Yesterday was fine, and his hard work that was thriving has all died today. Professor Liu's hatred. It's just overnight, how did the sky change outside, and why did the temperature suddenly rise so much.
In fact, at first, they didn't notice the amazing changes in the scenery outside, but as soon as they entered the cultivation room, they found that the plants they had worked so hard to cultivate had died. Professor Liu was stunned on the spot, it was one of his plant-based abilities who reacted first and ran to the broadcasting room in a panic. I did the broadcast as above.
When the harsh noise was remembered, Professor Liu and the others came back to their senses. They walked out of the cultivation room in grief and looked at the sky speechlessly, wanting to ask why the sky was playing such a trick on them. As a result, they looked out the window, and the greater shock instantly entangled the hearts of each of them.
After all, Professor Liu had lived for so many years, and he calmed down in the face of the successive shocks, and immediately ordered one of his subordinates to go down and get a thermometer to check. And at this time, it happened that Bao Jianfeng and they also came up.
The destruction of the plant is already a trivial matter, and the sudden change of genius outside is a catastrophe that makes everyone's hearts suddenly beat and do not know how to be good.
And at this moment, when everyone's hearts were on the verge of collapse, the sharp-eyed Xiao Qi suddenly shouted again: "Zombies!" ”
Everyone looked in the direction Xiao Qi was pointing. I actually saw a zombie dangling over. Then, the second, third...... There is no doubt that the zombies have unknowingly moved back.
"Oh my God!" A few ordinary people under Professor Liu's who were not very good in psychology had fallen to the ground trembling in fright, and they almost didn't pee their pants.
"Let's go downstairs first!" Although Bao Jianfeng was also panicked in his heart, he immediately adjusted his mentality and led everyone to rush to the elevator.
When everyone returned to the minus 7 floor, Lu Tianyang immediately greeted him and asked what happened on behalf of everyone. Bao Jianfeng frowned and glanced at Lu Tianyang and shook his head. Lu Tianyang's eyes rolled, and he immediately cleverly reassured everyone that it was nothing serious. Let's all go back to their rooms first.
In fact, everyone is not stupid, since there is nothing serious, why let them go back to their rooms first? It's clear that there is still something. However, they still obediently followed Lu Tianyang's instructions first. Even if something big happens outside, there is Bao Jianfeng and they stand up to it first, right? Whether they can help or not, it's better not to make trouble for Bao Jianfeng and them now.
Wait for the ordinary people to go back to their rooms. Bao Jianfeng beckoned everyone to the nearest restaurant, and urgently convened the first supreme decision-making meeting of the establishment of the Shenghui system.
Except for Wu Feng and Xiao Meow, Lei still didn't take a step out of the room and continued to guard Xie Tingting. The Doomsday Alliance's Adequacy Squad and Sheng Hui's leaders are all in place.
However, when everyone entered the restaurant, they all found their own seats and sat down, but after that, they were silent. Even Bao Jianfeng sat down on a chair in a daze, covering his face with a headache.
High temperature. In the great drought, even the zombies have returned, and Sheng Hui's safety has been threatened too much for a while. Each of them had a mess in their hearts.
But if you think about it, the zombie threat has not been forgotten since the end of the world. They knew that since the heavy snow had stopped and the temperature in the north was gradually rising, the zombies would come back sooner or later. It's just that none of them expected it to be so sudden. But now that they've returned, let's come back, and Iqiē is just a return to the last days before the sudden snowfall.
What really made them powerless to deal with was this sudden drought. The heat is probably worse than the cold. Regardless of the temperature that the human body can adapt to, since everyone in Shenghui has survived the heavy snow safely, as long as they hide in Shenghui this time, Shenghui's air conditioning system should also ensure that the indoor temperature is not too high to heat them to death.
However, when it is cold, it will freeze the water into ice. They can also chisel ice for snow, melting the water necessary for their lives. hot, but it will evaporate the water.
"Little Peach, how much water is there in Shenghui's underground reservoir?" Bao Jianfeng finally raised his head and asked Xiao Taodao in a bad mood.
As soon as Xiao Tao waved his hand, a picture of Shenghui storing water appeared in the air. The underground reservoir is full. Xiao Tao also shows the picture of the water tank on the ground in full bloom. The water tank on the ground was already at the bottom.
Everyone saw it, and their hearts were even tighter. To know. After the end of the world, the supply of tap water has not stopped, and although the water pipes were frozen during the months of heavy snowfall, they still use tap water after the snow stops. Shenghui's self-supplied spare water storage tanks have long been replenished by tap water during heavy snowfall. After that they simply did not use it again. The water tank on the ground had clearly evaporated.
A few people who were more attentive noticed that the screen showed that the water storage tank on the ground was automatically replenishing water because it was dissatisfied. Naturally, tap water is replenished, but the speed of replenishment is clearly not as fast as the speed of evaporation. Fear. With this rate of evaporation, the tap water will not be available for a few days, no, I'm afraid it will be cut off in a few hours.
Everyone immediately had a sense of crisis. A few nerves are so good that they think about whether to go back to the room and take a shower and wash it thoroughly, I'm afraid it will be very difficult to take a bath in the future. Of course, they didn't really do that. Everyone just stared at the screen and began to calculate how long the water in Shenghui's only surviving underground reservoir was enough for all of them to use at present.
Fortunately, the Shenghui building is large, and the underground reservoir is also large. The cistern was measured in tons. But there are not many of them, and water is still a daily necessity. Even if you don't take a bath, you can save money by simply washing up, and you need to consume at least half a liter to one liter of water per person every day just for eating and drinking.
In fact, they don't need to calculate it. Just think about the consumption of Shenghui during the months of heavy snowfall. Now it's just that the Ability Squad of the Doomsday Alliance has returned, and the numerical impact is not great. Fortunately, the heavy snow lasted for half a year, and Shenghui's reservoir did not seem to be exhausted. So conservative estimates, although the storage of the small water tank on the ground is missing, they can survive for half a year with the underground reservoir alone, right?
At this time, Lu Tianhua stood up. He pushed his glasses and said, "It is estimated that this drought is affected by the previous heavy snowfall. The principle will not be explained, but the conservative estimate should be only a temporary phenomenon, and it will not last forever, and the temperature should drop after half a year. ”
Everyone has some geographical knowledge. They all nodded in agreement with Lu Tianhua's speculation. This gives them a lot of peace of mind. For now, we can only hope that this drought will really subside in half a year.
Bao Jianfeng asked Lu Tianyang: "When it snowed heavily before, did you have any restrictions on the water used by Shenghui people?" ”
Lu Tianyang shook his head and said, "There are no special restrictions. But it was so cold that no one wanted to take a shower. Therefore, the basic consumption is still daily food and drink. ”
Bao Jianfeng nodded and thought for a moment. said: "Then don't restrict everyone this time." I don't want to cause unnecessary panic. ”
Lu Tianyang nodded and agreed with Bao Jianfeng's concerns.
At this time, Wang Feng suddenly said "Huh", he just suddenly thought of something, and didn't want to stand up and speak, but since everyone had already looked at him, he simply asked his question out loud.
"Those zombies weren't even too hot during the day, and they were all over the streets at night. Now that it's so hot in the north, how could they be willing to come back? ”
Because zombies have almost no metabolism, and they don't know how to drink water, they can only get water from devouring human or other animal blood. They're actually very afraid of heat. We've known this for a long time. Now that Wang Feng brought it up, everyone was immediately puzzled.
Xiao Tao tilted her head, and she had immediately tapped on the keyboard for a while. After a while, she was stunned for a moment, and directly released the satellite images she found into the air.
The footage shows that the south is even hotter than the north.
Lu Tianhua was also stunned when he saw it. According to his theory, the previous heavy snowfall in the north was affected by black fog, and the temperature in the north far exceeded the cold of a normal northern winter. The Earth's own climate control inevitably pushes cold air currents to the south in order to balance the temperature in the north. This control is not so precise, and the temperature in the north has risen too high, causing a temporary drought. It stands to reason that the temperature in the south should be cooler than the normal southern summer temperature. Why is it hotter?
However, the clever Lu Tianhua immediately thought that maybe the cold air flow from the north was directly pushed by the atmosphere to the other side of the ocean. Not only was the south not affected by the cold airflow, but it was also affected by the north, and the temperature rose even higher.
Either way, everyone understands why the zombies are returning to the north. They are really more resourceful than the seasonal birds, and they go wherever the climate is more suitable for their survival...... Worst!
Xiao Tao's heart suddenly palpitated, and she immediately tapped the keyboard again. As soon as the picture in the air turned, Xiao Tao and everyone were stunned in place after seeing it, and a trace of cold sweat instantly covered their backs.
Previously, the zombies in the north moved south to escape the heavy snowfall. This time, not only the zombies from the north have returned, but the zombies from the south have also migrated!
Satellite footage shows that the communication lines between the north and south are now densely covered with thermal images representing zombies. A small number of zombies that are supposed to be moving faster are already continuing to move further north. The group that arrived in the capital was already the most advanced troops, and the number was still very small. Some of the leaders who were probably the lowest-level rookie zombies and were lucky enough not to take refuge with a high-level zombie were left behind, but it seemed that they were slowly chasing the large army north by instinct. There is no doubt that it will not be long before this time there are no zombies in the south, and the streets in the north are full of corpses.
How they had worried about the survivors of the South, that fear was now deeply attached to them.
"Everyone get ready, we will set off tomorrow, and we must try to search and rescue as many survivors as possible before the zombies completely move back!" After all, Bao Jianfeng is still more able to start from the overall situation, and before worrying about himself, his first thought is the safety of others.
None of the members of the Doomsday Alliance's Abilities Squad are selfish. After hearing Bao Jianfeng's order, everyone temporarily put aside their worries about the next few months. This is the end of the meeting for the time being, and everyone immediately takes action and begins to prepare for the necessary qiē for tomorrow's departure.
They didn't notice that Lu Tianyang looked at Lu Haoran and Lu Tianhua, who were busy with Bao Jianfeng, but he stayed in the restaurant, and finally sighed deeply with concern. (To be continued.) )
