Chapter 102: Survival in the Apocalypse
The four of them listened to the noise coming from next door, and shrank on the bed and did not dare to move. The whole body was wet with sweat, and several people did not move slightly. Finally, by the time dawn, Su Xiaofang, one of the four, had already fainted in the heat. The other three were not doing well.
Now the temperature outside is probably not lower than 45 degrees! And that's just in the morning when there's no sun.
Bao Lian couldn't even imagine how high the temperature could be when the sun came out.
She reached out and touched Su Xiaofang's arm, the temperature was amazingly hot. If she didn't want to find a way to lower her body temperature, Su Xiaofang was afraid that the whole person would burn.
"Xiaofang is sick, we have to cool her down first, and then send her to the hospital." Bao Lian said angrily, her voice was as low as a mosquito, almost inaudible.
"Do you think we still have the strength to take her to the hospital now? I don't even have the strength to get out of bed now. Yu Coco drooped his eyelids and his eyes were half-open.
Wu Lele's eyelids moved, and he didn't even want to speak.
The trio stared blankly at the ceiling.
I don't know when the electricity went out, from the second half of the night to now, several people are stiff through the heat.
Annoyingly, the high temperatures for humans continue to rise.
Twenty minutes ago, the three of them could move their arms and fingers, but now they don't want to move at all.
Seeing that the skin of his companion had turned from red to crimson, the feeling of powerlessness weighed on the hearts of the other three.
They are powerless to change.
Even his own life is slipping.
"I should have gone home early, just to be home and still be with my family."
"Me too."
"My milk is still very good to me."
A few people murmured.
The sudden high temperature swept the world.
People living around the countryside are more comfortable, with trees to shelter them.
In towns, especially in big cities, that's a terrible one.
The temperature is higher than the surrounding temperature on weekdays, and when the electricity stops, all the refrigeration equipment that relies on electricity stops running. There are countless people with symptoms like Su Xiaofang.
What is even more frightening is that those who were lying in the hospital before were spontaneously combusted under the fermentation of high temperatures.
Before the panic could spread, someone fell.
The fire caused by the combustion, before it had time to extinguish, ignited the surrounding combustibles.
At first, it was a spark, but in the end, it was connected, and the whole city was suddenly in flames.
Humans and animals could only watch silently as tongues of fire rolled up their bodies, looking at the sky in despair.
The red-hot flames burned brightly.
Burning everything that can be burned.
It's not just the city, it's the forest.
If one looks at the planet from above, they will see that it has changed from gray to fiery red, and the color is constantly jumping.
The heat of more than 100 degrees lasted for a day and a night.
The fire lasted more than a day and a night.
Wait for the dust to settle.
Some people are reborn from the fire, others become slag, become dirt under their feet.
Those who are lucky will continue to be lucky, but this luck may face a series of tests. For example, the first thing is that the clothes on the body disappeared in the fire.
Waking up from the rubble, Bao Lian threw away the clods of dirt on her body, and couldn't wait to sit up and look at everything around her, regardless of the shame of not being clothed.
Scattered houses were gone, replaced by scorched earth and ruins.
The forest park in the distance is gone, and it has become a barren little dirt bag.
And everything that could be seen, all turned into a lifeless land.
"Look, there's a woman alive there."
A male voice came from behind, Bao Lian instinctively turned around to look, and suddenly realized that she was not wearing clothes, so she hurriedly grabbed a handful of charred ash from the ground and held it in her hand, crossing her hands to block the scenery on her chest.
"Yo, look good." The other said in a hoisting manner.
"Hey! Niu'er, do you have anything to eat? Take it out and honor us. One walked up to Bao Lian and kicked her in the neck a few times with his bare feet.
Bao Lian didn't dare to look up to see what the person looked like, but she was silent and held the ashes in her hand tightly.
"She doesn't speak." One said.
"We'll just search ourselves." The other person answered.
"You're stupid! She's the same as us, she knows at a glance what she's searching for. ”
"Didn't I mean it!" One patted his bald head in frustration.
"She doesn't speak, she looks like a fool. Why don't you take her and buy her and come back with something to eat. ”
"Hey! That's a good idea, so let's do it. ”
Several people agreed that the two would grab Bao Lian's arm and pull her away in exchange for food.
There were three people on the other side, and she was only one. Listening to them, you can see that these people are not good goods, but are actually in the business of buying and selling human beings.
Bao Lian quickly thought about countermeasures, whether she succeeded or not, she could only gamble.
At the moment when the two approached, she spilled the ashes in her hand and fell into the eyes of the two, and the two of them squeaked and screamed in pain.
The three of them started at the same time, the first two were temporarily repelled by her, and the person behind her was choking her neck, ready to stun her at any moment.
In a hurry, Bao Lian picked up a broken brick under her and slammed it into the man's temple.
One hit is a self-defense trick that her father taught her when she was a child for her safety. Just stun each other, so that people don't die.
One of the three fell, and two others were rubbing their eyes.
Bao Lian thought about the possibility of escaping directly.
However, there is no shelter around the river. Even if she could run, how far could she run!
Just don't do it, don't stop it, and then knock the remaining two people unconscious.
Just do what they say, draw the scoop as they like, and the three of them staggered and fainted, and they didn't get up in an hour or two. But Bao Lian ignored that they were all modified bodies, and the body's resistance had already increased.
Bao Lian wanted to find out if her three companions were still buried underneath before leaving, so she scooped up the bricks, rubble, and cement blocks with her bare hands.
After digging for about half an hour, she had made a big hole four square meters, but her companions did not even see a shadow.
When she stopped, she herself was taken aback. When had she worked so neatly, and how long had it been, without any tools, that she had been asked to dig such a big hole with her hands. And his hands were not even broken except for the mud.
Bao Lian sat in the pit, sorting out her thoughts.
I only remember that at the beginning, she lay side by side on the bed with Coco, Lele and Xiaofang, who had already fainted, letting the sweat wet the bed and soaking through her clothes, she just didn't want to get up.
Later, the temperature rose and rose.
It's on fire.
No, it was Xiaofang who spontaneously combusted.
The three of them watched Xiaofang's accident. When I wanted to get up to put out the fire, I found that I was dominated by a sense of powerlessness, and I couldn't get up at all, and it was a lot harder to even lift a finger.
Then the fire lit the beds and ran over them, over the curtains, until their tongues poked out of the room.
After that, she didn't remember anything and went to sleep.
She remembered that at the moment when the fire invaded her body, another air flow rose in her body to help her resist the flames, and the two air currents competed with each other in her body, and she felt very tired, so she closed her eyes.
When she woke up, the world changed, and she became an exhibitionist.
