[Recently, my country once again ushered in extremely high temperature weather, and the temperature in many places far exceeded the historical extreme. At present, more than 63% of outdoor workers in all provinces and cities across the country have shifted their working hours to after 8 p.m. 】

[According to experts, the way of work and rest at night and early return may become normalized. 】

[In order to better cope with the coming dog days, I would like to remind all citizens that they must do a good job of preventing heatstroke and cooling down, keep indoor ventilation, and ensure their own life, health and safety. 】

[June 7, 2039, 4:36 p.m.] 】

[18 provinces across the country have issued a red warning for high temperatures, and it is expected that from June, the maximum outdoor daily temperature in China will rise to more than 58 °C, and the maximum night temperature will reach 42 °C, an increase of 15 percentage points compared with last year. 】

The sound of the video in his ears gradually became clear, and Zhou Ping opened his eyes, but his mind was still confused.

Another nightmare.

Maybe it's been too hot lately, and he's always dreaming about nightmares about extreme weather.

A super sun appeared in the sky, scorching the earth with a scorching sun.

In areas where the sun is directly exposed to the sun during the day, the air temperature reaches a terrifying 80°C, which is close to boiling.

The people rested at the beginning of the day and went out at sunset. Resting behind closed doors during the day and working at night still quenches the dove's thirst, but it also greatly reduces the incidence of heat stroke and heat stroke.

But these good days did not last long.

Due to the protracted period of hot weather, the demand for electricity has surged, and the power supply of countries around the world has begun to run short.

What does it feel like to have a power outage on dog days when the outside temperature reaches 80°C?

This terrifying and gigantic crisis soon swept the world.

The Melting Pot of Earth!

Death. Disease. Even the plague, all followed.

In that dream, Zhou Ping also knew for the first time that under the terrifying high temperature, saprophytes and cadaveric alkali could hardly breed, and maggots and fly pupae were directly extinct after exceeding 48 °C;

The corpse will turn red, and all the organs will be steamed, emitting a strange aroma, and will evaporate into a ripe dried corpse in half a day.

With a brush of his hand, the skin and flesh can be easily separated from the bones, Zhou Ping doesn't know if anyone has ever had thoughts that shouldn't be, but in this almost desperate situation-

Human willpower and sense of morality have become extremely weak, death is imminent, survival is the only need, and there is any point in anything else?

"Whew-"

Zhou Ping rubbed his stinging temples and breathed deeply.

At this moment, a young woman pushed the door and walked in: "Team Zhou, the air conditioning in the office is 16 degrees, look at why you are still sweating profusely." ”

Thinking back to reality by this voice, Zhou Ping raised his head, his eyes focused on the young woman's face with light makeup, and he was slightly distracted.

The person who came was Feng Yueyi, a surveyor in their company, one of the few unmarried young women on the construction site.

Weak in appearance but bold in personality, when she first joined the company, Zhou Ping took her for a few months, and there was a short period of ambiguity.

However, Zhou Ping stopped the car in time.

He is a middle-aged man who has lost his wife and two children, and he is really embarrassed to have a relationship with a fresh graduate who has just left school.

Therefore, this obscure motivation was quickly annihilated before it germinated.

Feng Yueyi was a little uncomfortable by Zhou Ping's eyes, turned around and sat on the rest chair in the office to avoid her gaze, and changed the topic:

"Will night shifts be implemented from next week? Then what should you do? ”

"The school has been working night shifts for a long time."

At this time, several other mechanics walked in sweating, and after helping Zhou Ping answer questions, they were busy panting in the air-conditioned room.

Comfortably sighed: "It's still cool in the air-conditioned room." ”

"Team Zhou, are we really going to change the night shift system next week? Also, really give us two days off? They won't come to us at the end of the day and say that we are delaying the construction period. ”

Zhou Ping sat up straight, "Don't worry, there is a lot of pressure from above, this is the holiday proposed by Party A." ”

"You can go home and play as much as you like this weekend, and no one will bother you."

"Damn, it's so cool!"

The mechanics cheered, the construction site was closed for the weekend, this was the first time that the treatment could not have been more enjoyable.

Although you will get two days less money if you work for two days less, but now in this ghost weather, the daily temperature is about to soar to 60 degrees Celsius, and who doesn't want to go home and blow the air conditioner.

Their mechanics are slightly better, and when the machine is turned on, although the air conditioning is not as cool, it is much better than those who move bricks and cement.

Since the beginning of June this year, the number of deaths from heatstroke from outdoor work has been increasing.

If the market is not good, forget it, people will die at every turn, how can you do this?

I've heard that several insurance companies have gone out of business.

Zhou Ping said: "It's not too early, let's disperse, go home early and rest." ”

"Adjust your schedule this weekend, starting next Monday, at 8 o'clock in the evening."

"Howler!"

The people who got the approval cheered and danced, and they were like a group of children.

However, before leaving, I still have to blow the air conditioner before leaving, and when the sweat stains on my body are dry, everyone leaves the office.

5:47 p.m.

It was the hottest time, and the hot heat wave tortured everyone's heads and faces, and the already undried clothes were wet again.

As soon as he walked out of the shed, the mechanic Duan Ang approached and said, "Brother, do you have to go home through Huihong Shopping Mall, my car was borrowed by relatives, so it is convenient to take me for a ride?" ”

Duan Ang was also brought out by Zhou Ping, and he called him brother in private, Zhou Ping naturally did not hesitate, and it was just a trivial matter to plant a trip by the way.

The people on the construction site soon dispersed and went back to their homes, but six o'clock was the peak time for getting off work and going to work, and congestion was inevitable.

If it had been placed a few years ago, it would have been hard to imagine that it was six o'clock, and it was still hot outside, like a steamer.

But the temperature on hot days in the past two years is indeed ridiculously high, 58 degrees Celsius? Three years ago, this was an astronomical amount that could scare Europeans to death.

Now, the number of air conditioning exports in our country has skyrocketed.

I don't know if the ring is not environmentally friendly, but it is true that no air conditioning will be fatal.

In addition to car owners like them, there are many people walking on the streets sweating, extreme heat and cold are a kind of torment, but if there is a choice, most people would rather experience the cold winter, right?

After all, you can add clothes when it's cold, but you can't peel off when it's hot.

"Ugh."

Leaving the construction site, Duan Ang obviously relaxed a lot, and the two were no longer in a pure relationship between superiors and subordinates, but like ordinary friends.

He sat slumped, looking up at the window, the streetlights flashing slowly through his pupils, looking rather melancholy.

Zhou Ping was a little puzzled, "What?" ”

Duan Ang said: "Worried, the weather is so hot, the baby is sick with the air conditioner, and I have been in the hospital every day recently, but it is not a medical insurance project, it is too grassy." ”

Duan Ang's child is only three years old, and it is when his resistance is poor and he needs to be taken care of, and Zhou Ping can understand his feelings very well.

"It's only a few months, and it's over, so stick to it."

But Duan Ang still sighed heavily, "In recent years, extreme weather has been frequent in various places, and I heard that this summer will last until November, or even December. ”

"But it's only July, and there are five full months left, and it's the end of the world."

Zhou Ping smiled, "If it's the end of the world, it's okay, at least the human race is extinct." It is an ordeal to continue to live in extremely difficult circumstances. ”

"That's right." Duan Ang nodded in agreement, "When the dinosaurs go extinct, they will definitely not perish instantly, and some lucky guys must have survived." ”

"Those survivors are struggling to survive in an increasingly harsh environment, not only experiencing the cannibalization of their own kind, but also the despair and loneliness of their own dying out."

"Until the last survivor falls, the world has changed and changed for thousands of years, and it has been submerged in the dust of history, leaving only a few bones, and no one knows what happened to them."

"It's so bleak." Zhou Ping took a deep breath and remembered the scene in his dream again.

Is it a day of thought, a night of dreams, or some fantastical dream sign?

If the surface temperature reaches 80°C, will humans still have a way to live?
