"Open the door! Is anyone home? Open the door! ...Whoever's inside, come out and open the door!"

"He Zhennan! Qin Suyun! Whoever lives in the room, come out and open the door! Someone has a heat stroke!"

"Open the door, open the door!..."

"Someone outside is suffering from heatstroke. Are you planning to just watch them die without helping?! Open the door! Open the door quickly!!"

The door at the entrance was banging loudly. Even Qin Suyun and He Zhennan, who were in the room with the door and windows closed, could hear it clearly.

He Zhennan frowned and looked at the door that was banging on it, his face looking a little unhappy.

Qin Suyun also had a frown on her face and a serious expression. Dahei and the others stood up one by one and stared closely at the direction of the gate.

The five or six people outside were still banging on the door and shouting.

"I know there's someone in your room. If you don't open the door, don't blame us for breaking it down!" The man shouted loudly outside the door, his tone revealing a fierce tone.

A woman's high-pitched voice also shouted nearby: "It's scorching hot outside, and some people are suffering from heatstroke. Don't you feel guilty for being able to use air conditioning every day? Don't you think about respecting the elderly and children and taking care of the sick?!"

"Yeah! You guys have the air conditioner on all day anyway, so we're just here to use it and enjoy some of the cool air... Why aren't you opening the door? Do you really want to watch someone die without helping?!"

"You guys are so ruthless, if anything happened to my mom, I would make sure you black-hearted people live long for her!"

After just a few words, both Qin Suyun and He Zhennan could tell that the group of people outside the door had ill intentions.

It was obvious that these guys outside the yard had been coveting her house's air conditioner for a long time. It was okay when everyone relied on firewood and coal for heating, but then it snowed heavily every day and the solar rice cooker became a decoration, so naturally no one cared about it.

As for the peaceful days that followed, although some people envied her for having electric lighting at home, others could also barely get by using firewood for lighting at home.

but……

It’s different now!

In such hot weather, electric lights and televisions were secondary, but Qin Suyun's family could use air conditioning to cool down, which was already something that countless people envied and coveted! The high temperature made their eyes red, and they also wanted to return to a comfortable environment to live again.

Why can't such great solar equipment and air conditioners be theirs? Why can't they use them?

Qin Suyun and He Zhennan knew exactly what this group of people were planning. They looked at each other, but there was no big emotion in their eyes. Even Qin Suyun looked particularly cold.

He Zhennan didn't say much. He just took the gun on the coffee table and walked out. Qin Suyun followed behind He Zhennan, also holding the gun that He Zhennan gave her. Dahei, Xiaoqi, Heidou and the others all followed Qin Suyun out.

No matter what the people outside are planning this time, Qin Suyun has no intention of letting them in.

Her house was so small that the entire living room was only about sixty or seventy square meters. This area didn't sound small, but in fact, just Dahei, Xiaoqi and the others lying there took up most of the living room. Add to that the other furniture in the living room, and even if Qin Suyun really wanted to, there was no way to cram so many people into the house.

Once this kind of thing starts, people who hear the news will come to her house one after another. What should she do then?

It would be better to cut off the source right from the start and let everyone know that they are not easy to mess with!

At the gate of the courtyard.

Four men, a middle-aged woman and an old lady were standing outside. The old lady was supported by a young man, while the other two men and one woman were banging on the big iron gate of Qin Suyun's house.

"Why hasn't anyone come out after I've been shouting for so long? Could it be that the person in this room really doesn't want to come out?" Staring at the thick iron door in front of him, the young man who was supporting the old lady frowned.

"If they refuse to open, then just knock them out! I don't believe how much longer the people in this room can hold out?! If they refuse to come out, I will just smash this door!" A middle-aged man who was about thirty or forty years old snorted coldly, rolled up his sleeves, and found a stone about the size of a baby's head from the grass next to him. He weighed it and prepared to smash the big iron door with it.

These days, they have been working in the fields every day. Even when they first came to Wanxi Village, they had no muscles and no strength, but after so many days... their strength is no longer comparable to what it was before. This is why they dared to bang on the door and shout!

"Okay, the people inside haven't come out for such a long time, it seems they want to be cowards... Third brother, let's just start smashing it! Who told that couple inside not to open the door, to watch them die without helping, and not to treat us as human beings?" The man outside the door spoke in a nonchalant tone, as if all this was forced upon him by you. It was so annoying to hear that I wanted to just go up and beat him up.

However, the others standing next to this man burst into laughter after hearing this. One of them even clapped his hands and laughed, "That's right, isn't that the truth? In the end, they're the ones forcing us to do this! We're all peace-loving, civilized people. We just wanted to use the air conditioning, but these people are determined to force us to death. Don't blame us for being rude!"

"That's right! Aren't we being forced by them?"

The man said this with a smile, picked up the big stone he had just built, and was about to smash it against the big iron gate of Qin Suyun's house!

However, there was only a loud bang, and the big iron door that was originally closed was suddenly opened from the inside!

The group of people outside saw the big iron gate being opened and were about to show joy on their faces.

But the next second, the smiles disappeared from their faces, especially the middle-aged man who was holding a big rock and was about to smash the door. His face was stiff, his hands and feet were cold, and he was so embarrassed that he didn't know where to put his hands that were tightly holding the huge rock!

Cold sweat broke out on his back, and beads of sweat the size of beans slid down his cheeks. The middle-aged man looked like he was petrified and fixed in place.

"Why aren't you shouting? Weren't you guys shouting happily just now? Why aren't you shouting now?" He Zhennan was holding a gun in his hand, and the black muzzle of the gun was pointing at the middle-aged man's forehead!

The cold touch of the metal muzzle against the man's forehead nearly frightened him to the point of peeing his pants! The middle-aged man's face was twisted with fear.

"Haha, it's a misunderstanding, it's all a misunderstanding!" Drops of cold sweat rolled down the middle-aged man's face. His throat was dry and he could hardly speak. His eyes turned into funny cross-eyes and he stared at the muzzle of the gun above his forehead, for fear that the gun on his head would accidentally go off and he would die.

"Misunderstanding? Tell me what misunderstanding there is?" He Zhennan sneered, but his eyes were filled with disgust. He raised his chin slightly and pointed at the old lady who was being supported by someone and was trembling with fear. His tone was unfriendly, "Do you think that by bringing an old lady like this, you can stand on the moral high ground and suppress us? And then get the other villagers to stand on your side and force us to back down?"

"Look... Is there anyone around here who dares to come and help you?" He Zhennan sneered twice, directly exposing the purpose of the other party bringing the old lady here.

Wenbin's eyes swept over some people standing timidly not far behind the six people. His gaze was like an invisible knife cutting through their skin, causing those who had the same idea to come and watch, hoping to see if they could get something for nothing, to shrink back and dare not move forward.

The power of the gun was so great that He Zhennan not only held the gun against the middle-aged man's forehead with his left hand, but also had another one in his right hand. Qin Suyun, who was standing beside him, also had a gun in her hand. In addition, there was a group of mutant wolfhounds behind them, staring at them with a fierce look and making threatening growls in their throats.

There are so many people, but no one dares to come forward!

"Mr. He, please let us go... We really didn't do anything... We just saw that the weather was too hot, so we came to ask if we could borrow a place to cool off... It doesn't matter if you can't. Don't, don't be so excited. Can you please move this gun away? Looking at this gun makes me nervous and scared." The middle-aged man with the gun against his head really couldn't bear it anymore. He was trembling with nervousness, and his arms began to shake. The stone that was originally very light for him to lift now seemed as if it weighed a thousand pounds, and he could hardly hold on.

But even with the muzzle of the gun against his forehead, he didn't dare to make any move, for fear that he would accidentally irritate the man in front of him and shoot him.

"Are you scared? It's good to know what fear is... If you don't know what fear is, then I can only give you a peanut so that you can learn what fear is." He Zhennan slowly moved his neck and spat out a word coldly, "Get out!"

"Yes, yes, yes! Get out, get out! I'll get out right now!" The middle-aged man, whose teeth were already chattering when he spoke, felt as if he had been saved when he heard these words. His eyes suddenly lit up, and he called on the people around him to quickly leave the residence of this evil god, and he ran without even looking back!

That speed is even faster than a rabbit!

The six of them ran around the bend and back to their home. The young man who had been carrying the old lady on his back frowned, panting heavily, and said to the middle-aged man, "Uncle, why did we leave just when he said get out? There are so many of us, are we really afraid of those two?!"

"They've got a gun pointed at my head, and I'm not leaving yet? Do you really want to see me die?" The middle-aged man glared at his nephew, clearly furious, and slapped him hard on the back of the head. "What if they start shooting? Will I be dead?! Besides, it's true there are only two of them, but don't you see the many wolfhounds standing behind them? Just based on the size of those mutant wolfhounds, just two of them would be enough to take out our group!"

"Oh, no..."

The young man touched the back of his head that was hurt by the slap. "Didn't we know that the Qin family had a dog when we went there before? But didn't my aunt also say that? ... They don't dare to kill people. Someone in the village had a conflict with Qin Suyun before, and the other party didn't want to kill anyone. They just let their half-blind dog chase them around the village, but didn't even take a piece of flesh... So even though they took out a gun at the time, we didn't rob their house or their supplies... They put the gun to my uncle's head, which must have been just a threat. They didn't dare to really do anything!"

The young man's words were so certain, but the middle-aged man who had been held to gunpoint didn't believe them at all. He had just seen the man's cold, murderous look! He had no doubt that if they ran any slower, the other man would shoot them dead!

The middle-aged man looked at the young man with great dissatisfaction. "You said they didn't dare to take action and were just threatening. Are they really just threatening?! Don't you see how long ago that incident your aunt mentioned happened?! The earthquake had just started then! There wasn't a whole series of events going on yet, so naturally they didn't dare to kill... But what kind of world is this now? Didn't enough people die when the flood came before? I can't even count the number of people who froze to death or were killed!"

"What's more, if these two people really shoot and kill someone, what should we do then? Do you think I'm too old?!" The middle-aged man snorted coldly.

No matter how high the temperature is now, as long as he doesn't go out under the sun and stays at home, he can at least endure the heat no matter how hot it is. However, the bullet in the opponent's hand is not something that an ordinary person like him can withstand with his body!

If you want to enjoy the air conditioning comfortably, you must be alive first!

The middle-aged man had a slight toothache. How come those two people were so damn lucky!

They are all human beings, and have experienced the same earthquake and floods, but they live a hundred times better than them!

When the earthquake came, people's houses didn't collapse and they continued to live their lives.

When heavy snow comes, people have food to eat and can also make fire to keep warm.

The flood came... Although they, like them, had fled to the mountains for refuge, they had everything they needed for food and daily necessities, and with a group of loyal mutant wolfhounds constantly guarding them, taking refuge in the mountains was as much fun as camping there, wasn't it?

Add to that the scorching sun and the distorted air. Even at home, everyone is nearly exhausted from the heat, sticky and sweaty all day long. Yet, he can still sit in an air-conditioned room, enjoying the cool air and drinking ice water. If only his refrigerator were still working...

That would be even more amazing, you can definitely eat sweet and delicious popsicles!

As a middle-aged man who no longer likes eating popsicles like he did when he was a child, I am drooling just thinking about it!

"Tsk! Why don't I have such a good life?!" The middle-aged man felt more and more unfair and couldn't help feeling a little irritated.

But no matter how aggrieved the middle-aged man was, he didn't dare to go to Qin Suyun's house and yell at her to open the door. He never wanted to experience having a gun pointed at his head again in his life!

No matter what his nephew said, the middle-aged man did not agree to go to Qin Suyun's house again, and most of the other onlookers who had originally had thoughts about it also gave up the idea in their hearts.

They came here simply because the weather was too hot and they wanted to find a place to cool down and beat the heat, but they never intended to spend their lives here!

These people were just ordinary people. After being frightened by the guns in Qin Suyun and He Zhennan's hands, they dared not have any extra thoughts. Even though there were a few fearless people who were eager to try, no one dared to follow them.

With only one or two of them and without any help, even if they were tempted, they could only watch from a distance.

After the hot October, November is still a hot month.

The blue sky was cloudless, with only the sun hanging high in the sky appearing particularly dazzling. The daytime temperature outside had reached over 60 degrees, and under the sunlight, the temperature was even higher. The people in the village had no choice but to dig holes under their houses to avoid the scorching heat.

This idea was actually the result of a discussion between He Zhennan and Qin Suyun after the incident of borrowing the air conditioner. They mentioned this idea to Zhao Xingguo. The Zhao family, who were deeply affected by the scorching heat, immediately thought it was a good idea.

The temperature at the landmark is so high that it is unbearable to stay there for a long time.

then……

One night, after discussing this idea with everyone in the village, everyone started working in the dark.

The earthquake caused the collapse of everyone's houses, which also forced many families to build new houses. In this time of lack of materials, the floors of everyone's houses were almost all original soil. The only one or two families that were a little more particular just took some gravel from the river and spread it on the ground and mixed it with the mud.

therefore……

Throughout the village, except for a few families whose houses remained standing despite so many natural disasters, everyone else began digging holes beneath their homes. Even Dongzi, Lu Liqing, and the Qiu family were no exception! Those like Zhao Zhengde's family, who wanted their houses to remain standing, simply picked a spot behind their house, built a simple thatched hut, and hurriedly joined the main group in digging.

Digging a hole in the ground that people can live in is not an easy task.

Qin Suyun's family is fine.

Her house already has a large basement downstairs. If necessary, she can just pack up the things in the basement and move in.

After Pang Xiongdongzi and Cui Wen discussed it, they decided that the three families would dig a hole together.

They enter through the same entrance, and once inside, they each dig out a hole for their own residence. This way, they save effort and can dig out a private space of their own.

At this time, Qin Suyun couldn't help but sigh that if the earthquake had not caused a large number of houses to collapse in the village, considering the original density of houses in the village, many people would have dug and the caves would have become tunnels connecting neighbors, instead of being able to dig a place for each family to live like they do now.

It took Pang Xiong more than two weeks to dig the caves of the three families.

The entrance to this cave extends directly downward from the living room of Pang Xiong's house. The height alone is more than two meters, and then extends downward.

The living place is neither wide nor high. People of Pang Xiong and He Zhennan's height have to bend down and lower their heads when entering, otherwise they will hit their foreheads accidentally. The space for each person living in the cave is only about three to five square meters, which is about the same size as a small prison cell. If you want it to be bigger, you have to continue digging outwards.

This simple summer cave, in addition to the entrance, also has a simple ventilation hole, so it is quite comfortable for a group of people to live in.

After having the cave, both Pang Xiong and Dongzi and the others finally felt alive. In addition, Qin Suyun and He Zhennan could provide them with some ice cubes and popsicles every day to quench their thirst, so their lives were much better than in October.

As for the situation of other families in the village, it is basically the same as that of Pang Xiongdongzi. In order to cool down and relieve the heat, everyone lives in darkness every day.

They only come out of their burrows when they need to cook during the day and when they need some fresh air at night.

While everyone was digging a hole.

Qin Suyun and He Zhennan were not idle either. In order to prevent the poultry and livestock at home from dying of heat, they had to follow the others and work diligently to dig holes at home.

Fortunately, the mutant animals' ability to resist heat is much stronger than that of humans. During the time when the two of them were digging the hole, although the pigs, sheep and other animals in the house were not in good spirits, they did not suffer any serious problems from the heat.

Although Qin Suyun had the excavator she bought when she planted the fruit trees, the excavator was too small and could only dig a hole of about ten centimeters each time.

Qin Suyun's family had quite a few livestock. Even during the flood, when most of the chickens, ducks, pigs, and sheep were eaten by the family, the total number was still quite large. Furthermore, the hens had hatched quite a few chicks recently, and even two of the pigs were pregnant. Qin Suyun needed even more space.

In order to make life easier for the livestock, the two of them dug a much larger hole than Pang Xiong and his team. Relying on the tools they had, they dug for more than two weeks before they were able to properly house the poultry and livestock they raised at home.

So, until the end of November...

In the entire Wanxin Village, Qin Suyun and He Zhennan were the only two people who lived above ground day and night. The rest of the village was completely silent...

Qin Suyun originally thought that such days would continue until the high temperature ended, but what she didn't expect was that one night in November, a series of banging sounds were heard outside the glass window!

This is the sound of something hitting the glass!

Qin Suyun stood up and looked out the window, her face became extremely ugly!

He Zhennan also had an ugly and serious expression.
