Chapter 153: Temperature rises, flu is coming soon

"I remember."

Zhao Jingyu just didn't want to be followed by anyone, he felt uncomfortable.

Moreover, Villa No. 8 is very close to Villa No. 6, so there shouldn't be any accidents, so the bodyguards were allowed to leave.

Zhao Ting said: "It's good to know."

"I don't know when this apocalypse will end. My health is failing. The future of the Zhao family depends on you."

Then Zhao Ting sighed again.

“Cough cough cough!”

Zhao Jingyu quickly asked someone to bring out some water and fed Zhao Ting two sips.

Only then did Zhao Ting come to his senses.

Zhao Ting is already sixty-two years old, and is a late-born son. Before the end of the world, he doted on Zhao Jingyu.

He felt that as long as he earned enough money, it would be enough for him to live.

But now is the end of the world. Although there is a lot of food stored in the basement, it will eventually be consumed.

If Zhao Jingyu continues to be so ignorant of the world, I am afraid that even in the afterlife I will not be able to rest in peace.

"Dad, you will definitely live a long life, don't think too much."

"I'll go find a doctor to see you right away." Zhao Jingyu said as he was about to go outside.

"Ahem, come back." Zhao Ting called out to the person.

"What's the point of looking for a doctor? I know my own body."

"What you need to do now is to make yourself stronger."

Zhao Jingyu nodded, "I understand."

These days, Zhao Jingyu has been learning fighting skills from his bodyguard, but the results are average.

So after thinking about it, I decided to find a protective umbrella.

Bang!

Zhao Jingyu, who was thinking about something, was frightened by the sound.

"Dad, what are they doing?"

The originally incomplete wall has now been completely demolished.

"Now that the blizzard is over, the weather is finally back to normal."

"We don't know what will happen in the future, so we should take advantage of the normal weather now to build the wall and prepare for a rainy day," Zhao Ting explained.

Zhao Jingyu nodded.

While the workers outside were busy, the nanny in the house had already prepared the meal and called the two masters in.

Looking at the delicious dishes on the table, Zhao Ting asked Zhao Jingyu to go to the basement to get a bottle of red wine so that the father and son could celebrate.

Zhao Jingyu went.

There are three doors leading to the basement.

Digital password, fingerprint, iris.

Moreover, the door is extremely strong and cannot be opened by ordinary impact.

Even the ceiling was covered with thick iron sheets.

This basement was built by Zhao Ting one month before the rainstorm, after he heard that the end of the world was coming.

Whenever something needed to be eaten, either Zhao Jingyu would go down to get it or Zhao Ting would go down to get it.

The basement contained everything from food to gasoline.

There is also a wall of red wine.

There are several freezers against the wall, filled with all kinds of lobsters and crabs.

Ever since Meng Ci went out and caught the crocodile, he has been staying at home all day, eating, sleeping, and playing when he wakes up.

As for Liang Xiu, he started to go out early and come back late.

I heard that Liang Xiu was recognized by the authorities for his previous work and was put in charge of registering the points.

Moreover, Liang Xiu should be given a position and promoted.

Since Liang Xiu can live well in the apocalypse with his own abilities, Meng Ci naturally would not refuse to let him go out to work. Instead, he is very supportive.

While Liang Xiu was busy all day, Meng Ci would sometimes lie at home bored and call Chen Que out.

Find a secluded place, and when no one is paying attention, take out a solar panel, smear some dust on it, and go home in a swagger.

The solar energy on the roof has been installed and connected to the power grid. When the sun comes out, this villa will be an impregnable fortress.

Meng Ci planned to stay in the basement, turn on the fan, eat ice cream, and never go out, just waiting for the extreme heat to end.

When Liang Xiu was not at home during the day, Meng Ci ran into the space to make ice cubes, took some snacks, and did some intimate things with Shen Que.

However, Meng Ci didn't dare to bring Chen Que into the space most of the time, because he was afraid that he would be bullied and unable to get up.

On August 15th, the sun hidden in the clouds finally showed up.

The temperature also rose to thirty degrees.

The flood water at the foot of the mountain has receded to about ten meters and is decreasing at a speed visible to the naked eye.

As the temperature rose, the garbage that had not yet been cleared out of the water began to rot and stink.

Because they need to salvage garbage and make a living, many people make simple masks and continue to salvage.

On August 25th, the temperature rose to 35 degrees.

The flood waters receded to below five metres.

People are more enthusiastic about collecting garbage.

When the flood recedes, people will be able to salvage the garbage at the bottom.

Does this mean they can exchange for more food?

At the same time, these people couldn't help but yearn in their hearts that the apocalypse would end and people would return to normal life.

But within two days, some people started to catch colds and have fevers.

Everyone thought it was caused by the high temperature and changing clothes too quickly, so no one paid attention.

In early September, colds and fevers began to appear on a large scale.

People with fever have a temperature of over 40 degrees and it lasts for a long time.

People began to realize that this was not an ordinary cold, but probably something like the flu.

The authorities had already made preparations and set up a temporary resettlement site at the foot of the Xishanye Villa area.

The security team and military personnel strictly guarded the resettlement site. Only certain people could enter, and no one could leave until their illness was treated.

As for Liang Xiu, Meng Ci had already persuaded him not to go to work when someone caught a cold.

But Liang Xiu felt that since he had been helping the government, how could he retreat now that the time had come for him to be used?

So Liang Xiu went to register a room and never returned to the villa, helping to take care of the patient all day long.

The two of them lived in the basement, planning to wait for half a month or a month for the flu to go out.

Fortunately, now that we have the sun, many solar products can be used.

Therefore, Meng Ci commanded the drone to fly out and gather information everywhere.

Because in this life, garbage in the water is salvaged on a large scale, the number of people catching colds is less than described in the book.

Moreover, the authorities knew from the confirmed news that there would be an influenza outbreak, so they protected several well-known academicians and experts in influenza and respiratory diseases in City M early on.

In the early days of the flu, a simple laboratory was built in Villa No. 55 to develop medicines.

This flu was not as serious as described in the book, so the corresponding vaccine began to show results in just twenty days.

Soon, before reaching the high temperature of the previous life, the flu was artificially suppressed.

But many people still died from this flu.

In addition, some lives were lost while salvaging garbage and killing crocodiles and other wild animals.

As a result, out of the more than four million people who originally lived in City M, only more than three million were left.

Among them, there are more than one million people in the resettlement site where Meng Ci and his colleagues are located.

By early October, the flu was completely over.

Those who died of influenza were burned together.

By this time, the temperature had risen to forty-five degrees and the flood was dry.

Also in early October, people who want to live in refugee resettlement sites need to pay points.
