Lin Lang felt uncomfortable under Xia Runzhong's gaze.

What's wrong with this old man today? She was telling him about Nanchen Group, so why was he looking at her with such a disgusting look?

It’s a bit like the way her grandfather looked at her when she was a child.

"Deacon Xia, the temperature is getting higher day by day. I wonder when it will return to normal." Lin Lang said tentatively.

"Ms. Lin, the report sent from the Longke Institute said that by the first day of next month at the latest, the temperature in our Long country will rise to at least 30 degrees. That means you have 25 days left before you can take off your heavy cotton coat." Xia Runzhong sat down and picked up the teacup.

The green tea in the cup is topped with a few bright red wolfberries.

Xia Runzhong swallowed his tea, his gaze passing through the neatly arranged documents, finally landing on Lin Lang. His tone was calm, but he couldn't hide the anxiety behind his words. "Here's the report, take a look."

Then he handed the weather research report in his hand to Lin Lang.

Lin Lang stood up silently, picked up the report, took a look, then walked to the window and stared at the bright, faintly damp world outside.

"But you think it's more than 30 degrees, right?" Lin Lang turned around, with a strange light flashing in his eyes.

Xia Runzhong nodded, his Adam's apple sliding as he swallowed a dry mouthful, "Yes... I'm afraid this is just the beginning."

The temperature rise will not stop, which means that humans will move from extreme cold to extreme heat.

Lin Lang had experienced extreme heat in his previous life. The entire Blue Planet had become a huge sauna.

30 degrees is the coolest temperature felt by the surviving humans, because the high temperature later rises all the way to 70.

It's the air temperature that's 70, not the ground surface.

If the surface temperature is 60 degrees, it is actually similar to the temperature of a shady place in the desert during the day, and humans can still be outdoors for a few hours.

However, the air temperature is 70 degrees, which is equivalent to the surface temperature exceeding 100 degrees. In this case, if you put a piece of meat on the ground, it will be cooked in minutes.

In his previous life, Lin Lang personally witnessed a man who went out wearing shoes to find water for his family. As a result, the soles of his shoes melted and the soles of his feet were roasted.

Without clean water and cooling facilities, many people died from heat stroke, thirst and lack of food.

After the extreme heat, all the snow on the poles and mountains on the blue planet melted, and the sea level rose by 80 meters!

"Ms. Lin, Ms. Lin"

Having not heard Lin Lang speak for a long time, Xia Runzhong called Lin Lang twice.

Lin Lang finally woke up from her memories and looked at Xia Runzhong.

The two looked at each other for a moment, confirming their common judgment on the weather in each other's eyes.

"What if the temperature rises to sixty or seventy degrees..." Lin Lang thought for a moment and raised a question.

"If the temperature is sixty or seventy degrees, we humans won't be able to survive." Xia Runzhong anxiously clasped his fingers together, and veins on his hands bulged.

If the temperature really rises to 60 or 70 degrees, not only in Dragon Country, but also in the entire Blue Planet, very few people can survive. Moreover, such a high temperature will definitely be accompanied by the melting of glaciers, which will be another disaster.

Xia Runzhong clenched his fists and tapped the table lightly to release his inner anxiety. "What should I do?"

Lin Lang turned around and faced Xia Runzhong, his eyes flashing with a firm and clear light.

"First, we need water. We must have a stable water source to meet the needs of the entire Qinghu base. Second, we need food that is preservative. Then, we need medical supplies for treating heatstroke and heat stroke, firefighting equipment, and refrigeration equipment. If we have the capacity, we also need to produce a batch of constant temperature suits as soon as possible."

"If there's a flood, I think our Dragon Nation's dozen or so aircraft carriers and coast guard ships will all be put to use. We'll requisition all boats, life jackets, and lifeboats, and require everyone to learn to swim..."

Lin Lang spoke eloquently and quickly, as if he was about to face this disaster, and his tone was very urgent.

Xia Runzhong's gaze stayed on her for a long time.

Lin Lang noticed the gaze, touched his nose, and said calmly, "For now, this is all I can think of."

"What you said is quite thoughtful, but..."

After hearing what she said, Xia Runzhong sat down in his seat somewhat dejectedly, and instantly looked ten years older.

Lin Lang looked at him with a trace of pity in her heart, but she quickly calmed down.

She knew what Xia Runzhong meant by "but".

Lin Lang spoke again, "Nanchen Group has been destroyed, and those psychics have disappeared. Currently, most of the surviving civilians across the country have settled into the three bases of Qinghu, Xincheng, and Tiancheng. Now that the temperature has just risen, we have the time and ability to start preparing, right?"

Hearing this, Xia Runzhong's eyes gradually recovered from dejection to clarity and determination.

"You're right. We are young people after all. We have our own ideas." Xia Runzhong laughed to cover up his vulnerability.

Lin Lang didn't take this to heart. In fact, what she said was the decision made by the top leaders of Longguo in the previous life.

She is just repeating what others have said.

"Deacon Xia, there's one more thing." Lin Lang cleared his throat. "Don't send me any more antiques. I've seen enough. Haha."

Lin Lang's voice was particularly clear in the office. She looked at Xia Runzhong with a firm and bright look in her eyes.

Xia Runzhong frowned, his fingers tapping the broken wooden edge of the table. A subtle trace of worry flashed across his deep eyes.

Xia Runzhong stood up again, casting an elongated shadow in the sunlight.

He walked up to Lin Lang, his eyes firm and direct: "But I remember that you once valued them very much... You even exchanged a large amount of food for them, which is enough to prove your need for them." He paused, "Could it be..." There was an imperceptible temptation hidden in his words.

Lin Lang avoided his sharp gaze that captured every detail like a hawk: "The past is the past."

"Are you... Nanchen Group?" Xia Runzhong suddenly hesitated and did not ask directly, but just whispered as if talking to himself.

When she heard these words, Lin Lang frowned slightly. "What do you want to say?" she asked calmly.

Xia Runzhong approached and said in a voice that only Lin Lang could hear: "The experiment of the superpowers of Nanchen Group" He paused for a moment, "It was stimulated by an unknown energy."

"You suspect that I am a psychic from Nanchen Group?" Lin Lang interrupted him without looking at Xia Runzhong, and did not feel angry or panicked because of this sudden suspicion.

"Maybe, I don't know," he asked bluntly, "I guess you might need some kind of energy from the antique."

"I'm not! The superpowers of Nanchen Group don't need the energy you're talking about. You don't want to know their methods."

It turned out that this old man thought he was a supernatural being of Nanchen Group.

Lin Lang shook his head slightly.

After saying that, she took a few steps closer and stood in a place with better light so that Xia Runzhong could clearly see that her expression was normal.

After hearing Lin Lang say this, Xia Runzhong finally relaxed his tense nerves and smiled warmly.
