Chapter 74 Chapter 074【VIP】

Unlike the relatively peaceful and tranquil Taoyuan base, the other bases were like a steamer, filled with a stale air.

Many effective cooling devices were completely destroyed by the intense heat. Exposed electrical wires cracked, causing widespread circuit failure.

Often, when vegetation is barren, humans often need air conditioning to survive. When it's 40 degrees, it's okay; it can hold up.

At 45 degrees, it's still okay, and you can still hold on. But when it gets to 50 degrees, and then 50 degrees, and then 55 degrees... and then 60 degrees, if humans stay outside at this temperature, it's okay for a short time, but over time they will really be baked to a pulp.

This is the case for many bases.

The circuits were paralyzed, causing many devices to cease functioning. Fortunately, there was an ice storage room, which could produce ice continuously without relying on electricity, relying solely on the "sacrificed" water crystal cores.

Of course, ice storage rooms don't produce ice out of thin air; they need to add water. After all, water turns to ice after midnight, and ice quickly turns back into water when the temperature is high.

The ice cubes that are continuously produced in the ice room have become a life-saving tool in "extremely hot weather". In particular, some wealthy bases have invested a huge amount of money to buy up all the 50 ice room drawings that the outbound teams must bring.

Just think about it, when you are hiding in the shade in hot weather, having a constant supply of ice to cool down is really a happy thing.

Of course, this was just a deception by the team that went out to do business from Taoyuan Base, and they bought the base where the ice room drawings were stored.

Some bases were reluctant to part with their equipment and opted only to purchase a blueprint for an icehouse. However, just days after its completion, the temperature skyrocketed. By then, most of the teams from Taoyuan Base that had gone out on business had already returned and safely arrived back at base. They wouldn't leave again until the extreme heat subsided.

The base could only helplessly concentrate its thoughts and come up with the idea of ​​digging down and building a dungeon.

Well, under the influence of extremely hot weather, there are only two places that are relatively safe: one is underground and the other is the ocean.

Of course the sea surface is hot, but only below 500 meters does the temperature gradually decrease.

To be honest, if the excavation is not done to a depth of 100 meters, it will not have any effect at all.

Fortunately, as the environment becomes increasingly harsh, there are more and more opportunities for ordinary people to awaken their superpowers.

But to be honest, the impact of the previous extreme cold weather, floods and ground fissures is far less than that of the extreme hot weather.

The extremely hot weather is like a silent massacre. There is no flame, no flood, only endless high temperature, which evaporates life bit by bit.

"Professor, your prediction has come true." The assistant said hoarsely.

Professor Lin sighed, "I'd rather it were fake."

"Don't worry, Professor. I believe the extreme heatwave will eventually end," the assistant said hoarsely. "It's too hot right now. The base commander said they need to concentrate on excavating the underground city with gold and earth-type espers. They're almost there. Professor, once the underground city is finished, we can conduct experiments there."

Professor Lin's lab had long been a simmering mess. Since the power outage, many of the precision instruments had ceased to function, leaving Professor Lin manually recording the temperature: 49.8°C.

Of course, this is still the indoor temperature, the outdoor temperature has reached 54°C.

I didn't dare go out at all. Fortunately, Professor Lin had built an ice storage room not far from where he was doing his experiments. Thanks to the constant supply of ice, Professor Lin's laboratory was actually not that uncomfortable.

Besides Professor Lin's location, which was slightly cooler, the parking lot just across the street was actually the coolest spot. After all, it wasn't exposed to the sun and had ice to cool it down. The temperature on the first underground level dropped to around 40°C.

The first floor, the second floor, and so on. For example, the temperature on the fifth floor where Xiao Min was hiding had dropped to 32°C.

Compared with the temperature of 54°C outside, the underground parking lot on the 5th floor is extremely cool. Now all the underground parking lots or underground shopping malls in the base have become residences for the residents of the base.

But it's simply not enough, and for the sake of coolness, everyone is only willing to stay in the underground parking lot below the second floor. How many underground parking lots can a city have? Perhaps many, but many bases in this world are built in urban ruins.

Many places that are now considered good (for summer vacations) had already fallen at the beginning of the apocalypse. Even if they had not fallen, before they were turned into bases, they would have disappeared when the flood and the ground crack came.

The larger the area currently occupied by the base, the smaller the underground space used for summer escape and daily living.

Otherwise, why would the base commander propose to concentrate a large number of gold and earth-type ability users to dig the dungeon?

The project is massive, and especially on a hot day, it's a painstaking endeavor. So, like a candle, you need a basic construction system. Just tear off the blueprints, and the Cat Construction Team will instantly build you a variety of buildings in a matter of hours.

While the work of 'digging the underground city' was in full swing outside, Mingzhu was arguing with 184 about whether the Chinese architectural style could be used to build an arena.

"Why did the host build the Colosseum?" 18 Don't bully the broken system and talk nonsense. Let me ask you, what kind of arena was it in ancient China?"

”

"There wasn't one before, but there is now. 184, you can't lose the courage to innovate just because your core is broken. What about the Cloud Fairy Palace and the Sky Garden?"

.”

Now it was 184's turn to be speechless. He really never expected that his host would have such great ambitions.

There is also a fairy palace in the clouds and a sky garden.

"Please be aware that this is an infrastructure system, not a cultivation system." 184 emphasized, reminding Mingzhu as the host not to be too fanciful.

The result...2333, Mingzhu is indeed the most unreliable host in history. He then said something that even shocked the system.

"You're kidding," Mingzhu warned silently. "Even if you're cultivating immortals, can't you build infrastructure in the immortal world? I remember reading novels where the major sects mentioned all had all sorts of breathtakingly beautiful buildings. Even immortals need food, clothing, shelter, and transportation. Does 184 think that once you enter the immortal world, you don't have to worry about eating, drinking, defecating, urinating, or sleeping?"

184: "...Anyway, I don't have the ability to build a fairy palace on the clouds or a hanging garden."

"If there's nothing to learn," Mingzhu said earnestly, "We're not afraid. As long as we have ambition, we should just keep going in this direction. I believe that with 184's intelligence and talent, we'll definitely achieve something."

This is PUA!

It has always been the system PUA host, but Mingzhu and 184 are completely the opposite. Mingzhu PUA184 is so familiar with it. There are not many techniques, and the main focus is sincerity.

184 fell for it. After just a short while, Mingzhu tricked him into thinking that, as an infrastructure system, it was his fault for not being able to satisfy the host's whims.

As a good system, He must work hard, striving to make the host's fantastic ideas a reality one day.
