Chapter 101: Doomsday Survival
Hot, very hot.
Walking on the main road without any shelter can faint in a second.
In such weather, people are hiding in air-conditioned rooms, blowing cold winds. Animals, on the other hand, hide around water streams to avoid the water, whether they are natural enemies or not.
Fengshan City is a famous metropolis, and a lot of labor is exported here every year. In this modern metropolis, you can also see some dilapidated villages with different styles, commonly known as 'urban villages'. The rental environment here is quite poor, but the rent is much cheaper, and the air conditioning can't afford it.
Bao Lian and a few friends couldn't get hot, so they went to the small shop outside the rental house and bought four or five fans and blew them on themselves.
"Xiaoying, it's so hot! I'm getting hot. Su Xiaofang's whole body was soaked in a large basin of water, and it was not only hot.
Bao Lian turned a few fans to the highest gear and said, "If it gets hot like this, I think I'd better go back to my hometown." What about you? ”
On the bed, there was a cute girl with a big wave roll and Qi Liuhai, You Keke, whose face kept moving towards the small electric fan in her hand, and fine beads of sweat still appeared on her head. Hearing Bao Lian's question, she turned over and sat on the bed. said: "What's so good about going home, I don't want to go back, facing my stepmother's weird face all day long." Didn't the weather forecast say that there would be rain in two more days! Let's put up with it. ”
"No more! I'm too hot! Wu Lele also picked up a bucket and brought back cold water from the outside, and learned from Su Xiaofang to soak himself in the basin. It's just that there is not enough space at home, if it is a little bigger, you can put another basin. "Finally comfortable. Wait! No, let's all go home, and we can't just spend it here. Several of us haven't been to work for 10 days, and next month's rent and living expenses are all problems. ”
This year, the weather is so abnormal, and by the time we enter March, it is already hot in the south to blow electric fans. A month ago, this extreme weather reached its peak, and the four girls went to work in the mall, and after persevering for half a month, they couldn't stand it anymore and stayed at home.
In the first half of the month, a large number of customers poured into the mall, and they were idle, just look east and west. A few people were busy, and in the morning alone, many colleagues were dizzy. Even if the air conditioner in the mall is turned on sufficiently, for the busy staff, it is as if it is not blowing.
In the second half of the month, due to too many staff members in the heat halo, the mall was closed, and several people were idle at home. Every day, I pray when it will rain and get rid of the heat in the air.
In the south, June is the rainy season, but not a drop of rain has fallen since the beginning of spring. The other day, several forest fires around the world were also reported on the TV news.
Bao Lian has a strong premonition in her heart, this kind of hot weather may be difficult to drop in a short period of time. Judging from the fact that it is getting hotter day by day, the high temperature is only higher than it falls.
"Alright! But I think it's difficult, we need to plan ahead. Everything that can be eaten at home has been eaten, and today it is the turn of Cocoa to buy. Bao Lian pushed You Keke, who was lying on the bed, and said, "Go!" Lie down any longer, and it will be dark. ”
"No, no, I'd rather starve to death at home. Ho ho ho ho! "Eucoco rolls.
"Coco, how can you deny it! Okay, let's take turns going out to buy. Ying Ying and I have been out twice, and you have never been out once. Was all you promised us two days ago? "Wu Lele doesn't follow.
Yu Coco was even more angry and said, "Huh! I just don't go, what can you do with me? What's wrong? I just don't go, it's a big deal, I'm hungry! ”
"You." Wu Lele picked up a handful of water and threw it at You Keke's face.
The two of them suddenly writhed.
The remaining two had a headache on their faces, and similar situations were played out every day. You Keke and Wu Lele are natural rivals, and since the four of them lived together, they have never been reconciled.
"Alright, don't fight anymore. If we continue to fight, we will simply go and drink the Northwest Wind tomorrow. No, now there is no wind, just eat the air. ”
Bao Lian and Su Xiaofang worked together to pull the two apart. At this moment, several people were sweating profusely and lying on the bed panting. The two stopped fighting not because they were able to persuade them to fight, but because it was too hot, and they had no strength after fighting for a while.
"Coco, in a moment, you go out with me. It just so happened that I went to see what was going on outside. If you don't go, we have a small temple here, so you can find another treasure land by yourself. Bao Lian kept exhaling hot air.
"Got it!" You Keke grimaced at Wu Lele, and the other party replied in seconds.
When Bao Lian stepped on the ground outside, the temperature transmitted from the ground was about 20 degrees. It's still six o'clock in the afternoon! The bazaar was just beginning around this time.
There are fewer and fewer vendors selling things here, and the prices are getting ridiculously expensive. If this continues, they won't be able to go back to their hometown.
The trees on both sides of the street are all hanging low, and the leaves are curled and yellow, no longer green and spiritual.
Pedestrians on the road are even more hurried.
When you buy what you need, you pay for it and leave. There is no more bargaining before, you come and go.
"It's a big deal, it's a big deal. I won't sell it today, so I'll go home! "There was a loudspeaker in front of a clothing store on the street, shouting loudly to attract people to come and buy. There are many other stores that do the same.
Bao Lian took You Coco with a strong uneasiness, turned around twice at random, and went back.
Before I walked in the door, I heard two people in the house shouting, no net, no net.
"You've finally come back, it's so hot, and the internet has stopped. What to pass the time? The two shouted.
"The network is down, won't you just ask what is going on in the room?" Yu Coco asked.
Wu Lele rolled his eyes at her, "Sister is not a fool." He said angrily: "I asked earlier, it's the operator's problem." ”
While they were discussing, the city had lost power. The maintenance personnel of the power station are rushing to repair the high temperature failure caused by the hot weather. Fortunately, they live in a remote village in the suburbs. The news has not yet reached them.
Bao Lian suppressed the uneasiness in her heart, and cautiously explained to a few: "Rest early tonight, and the four of us will take turns to be on duty all night." Remember not to respond to someone knocking on your door, and not to make any noise. On the way back, they seemed to be following someone, and when she looked back, there was no one left, and she only hoped that she had seen it wrong.
The temperature is still rising, even hotter than during the day. Some people can't stand it, so they run into the river to soak, and they don't think the river is dirty. However, these people's wishes were disappointed, and as soon as they went there, they immediately jumped out, and there were still many corpses of river creatures floating in the water.
The night was not destined to be peaceful.
The mournful howls of animals in the distance came and went.
It's like a unique feast.
