Chapter 65 Extremely Hot [VIP]

Chapter 65 Extremely Hot [VIP]

Tang Tian led everyone to Wu Ye's villa first.

As the chief's residence, it must have the best facilities. The buildings next to it were probably for his trusted aides, so they wouldn't be any worse.

But because they were not sure whether there was anyone around, the three of them and the dog walked along the edge, observing as they went forward.

Unexpectedly, there seemed to be someone inside Wu Ye's villa, but Tang Tian discovered it from the electric meter on the outer wall, and the same was true for several surrounding buildings.

It's so quiet, probably because everyone inside is resting.

Tang Tian shook her head at the others, winked at them, and decided to go look for other villas where she could live.

Fortunately, many residents in this kind of wealthy area choose harder glass for floor-to-ceiling windows when renovating their homes, so they are rarely damaged, unless the snow is too high and the entire villa is buried.

It was not until the floodwaters receded that the houses were fully revealed.

Tang Tian picked a villa in a corner and said to Li Feiyang:

"How about you live next door to us?"

Li Feiyang agreed immediately, as this was the best thing for him.

When they were still in Hexinyuan, they were two floors apart and could only send messages through walkie-talkies.

There’s no need for that now. If you have any problem, just come to my house.

Tang Tian raised her eyes and saw the words [No. 30] faintly written next to the outdoor iron gate.

The small courtyard was a mess, mostly bare, cracked earth. The door was unlocked and ajar, and when it was opened, a strong odor emanated.

The Tang family prepared to act separately.

Wei Mingxia uses her purification ability to clean the house.

Tang Yi checked the small second floor to see if there was anything special, then took away all the old furniture in the room and replaced it with new furniture from her original home.

Tang Tian was trying to connect the villa to solar power generation.

Fortunately, when I have free time, I occasionally find some professional e-books to read. Later, Tang Yi also came to help, and finally this new home has electricity.

Wei Mingxia pulled two more air purifiers from the warehouse and began working. Tang Tian then turned on the vertical air conditioner and set it to the lowest setting.

The mother and daughters sat on the sofa, letting out a long sigh. Tan Tan also lay at their feet, no longer sticking out his tongue.

Although there is ice-attribute ability in the ability column, and the air conditioner was on in the car just now, it was still corroded by the heat. It would be safe only when it is in a completely low-temperature environment.

Tang Yi still planned to turn the room into an ice house before the temperature dropped, but there was no rush and it would not be too late to do it after she had rested.

Tang Tian even went to check out Building 31 next door to Li Feiyang, who was having a headache over solar power generation.

In fact, Li Feiyang also applied to the University Town in District S, but unfortunately he was not in the same school as Tang Tian, ​​and he did not study a major related to solar energy.

Since they were teammates, Tang Tian generously helped with the connection and finally turned on the air conditioner in the living room.

Although there was still some dust, a cold wind was blowing.

Li Feiyang expressed his gratitude:

"Sister Tian, ​​thank you so much. If you need anything in the future, just let me know!"

He even imagined that if Tang Tian hadn't been there, he might really die in this apocalypse.

Moreover, his impression of Tang Tian had always been that she was selfish and hardly cared about others. But now that she had taken him away, how could he not be moved?

Tang Tian waved her hand, accepted the thanks, and went back.

After putting the thermometer back in place, the room temperature began to slowly drop, and Tang Tian yawned unconsciously.

The dust has settled, things have come to this point, let’s get some sleep first!

Since the villa only has two floors, the three of them decided to continue sleeping on the floor in the living room on the first floor.

When I woke up again, it was already evening.

Tang Tian touched her rumbling stomach and decided not to bother Wei Mingxia this time. Instead, she prepared to make delicious food from the system and send it to her.

Because she still had to explore Jiangnan Liyuan, Tang Tian took a moment to choose from the list of dishes that had been unlocked, and finally decided that tonight's dinner would be clay pot rice!

Clay pot rice is also a delicacy with supernatural powers. Its supernatural power is that whatever ingredients are cooked in it, corresponding supernatural powers will appear.

Wei Mingxia had preserved vegetable and pork pie clay pot rice, Tang Yi had eel clay pot rice, and Tang Tian chose the most classic cured meat clay pot rice.

The substantial, delicious and tender ingredients are mixed in the sweet rice, making each grain of rice shiny and fragrant. The mouth is full of rich flavor, which is so addictive.

After eating, Tang Tian patted her stomach in satisfaction, packed up, took Tan Tan and left the villa.

When I arrived at the door of Wu Ye's villa again, the curtains of the floor-to-ceiling windows were slightly opened, and a little light seeped in from inside.

Not long after, someone opened the door and came out, but still did not leave the house. Instead, he turned around and hung a chandelier on the eaves of the door.

It was not yet completely dark, and Tang Tian couldn't help but frown when she saw the man's profile.

Looks a little familiar.

She thought about it,

"Luo Qi?"

The man looked back at L for a moment before answering in surprise:

"Is it you?"

Neither of them expected the sequel, let alone meeting again.

After talking to her, Tang Tian finally understood that Luo Qi had rested for a day that day and was ready to go to the shelter with some people.

They arrived at the shelter with the food they needed, only to find that it was closed.

Not to mention the women themselves, even the women, children and young children were rejected. Some people had no choice but to stay.

But if she lived there too, Luo Qi felt it would be more dangerous than living in the deserted Jiangnan Liyuan, so she had to return.

Regarding the high temperature, they also noticed solar power generation. Fortunately, there was a girl among them who knew about this, so the problem of avoiding the heat was temporarily solved.

But there was only so much food left, and if they didn't find a solution, they would starve to death here sooner or later.

At this point, Luo Qi's expression suddenly became embarrassed, as if she was a little ashamed to reveal it.

After a moment's silence, she whispered:

"Tang Tian, ​​later we organized ourselves and came up with a bad idea to get supplies, but it wasn't clean or honorable..."

Tang Tian seemed to understand what that method was.

After all, in the end times, ordinary women would have a harder time without any powerful background or golden fingers like herself, and some were even forced to do so.

Luo Qi and the other girls who were originally captured and imprisoned by Wu Ye's team were almost the only ones left in the world.

If you really want to die, there are many ways to die now, just choose one.

Those who didn't want to die had no choice but to band together to survive. After Luo Qi proposed that method, some people initially refused to protest, but later, in order to survive, they had no choice but to join in.

At least they survived in this way, which is much better than those survivors who have hands and feet but are unwilling to give.

Tang Tian would not be a hypocrite, nor would she criticize like some moral guardians.

She paused before answering:

"How you want to survive is your problem. It has nothing to do with me. Just be safe. But my old home had problems, so I thought of coming here. We may have to be neighbors for a while."

Luo Qi curled up her lips into a bitter smile:

"Of course you can. You saved our lives back then. Otherwise, we might have died a long time ago!"

After she finished speaking, she suddenly remembered something and asked again:

"Tang Tian, ​​can I ask you for a favor? You're the most powerful person I've ever met, and you can even fight. Could you teach us so we can learn how to defend ourselves?"

Tang Tian raised her eyebrows, crossed her arms and said:

"I don't do anything for nothing."

But she was still very relieved that Luo Qi actually had such an idea.

Obviously, the end of the world and her current situation did not knock her down, otherwise she would have become a living dead with her energy drained away, which can be seen at a glance.

Luo Qi then smiled and said:

"Of course I won't invite you in vain. We've also obtained a lot of supplies recently..."

It was not until nightfall that Tang Tian understood the meaning of Luo Qi's words.

When the moon was bright and the stars were sparse, she climbed onto the roof and stood there using a telescope to see Jiangnan Lizhong and some unfamiliar cars driving into the courtyard one after another.

Some stopped at certain villas, and some stopped next to Wu Ye’s central villa.

Those who can drive at this time are basically not ordinary people. According to Luo Qi, these are some well-known, rich and powerful people in the S area shelter, and naturally they have no shortage of supplies.

There was no red-light district in the shelter and the security was quite strict, so they tried to find a way to get outside.

So they also knew about the area that Luo Qi built in Jiangnan Liyuan.

In addition, Luo Qi is naturally beautiful, and the other girls are all young and pretty, which makes them even more popular with them. They make Jiangnan Liyuan a place they often visit.

However, every time they come, they don't necessarily have to do the flesh trade. They can just ask a few girls to eat, drink, play and chat with them. The one-stop service that provides enough emotional value is enough to satisfy them.

Moreover, at the end of each session, the girls would not only receive supplies, but also more or less get some information about the shelter, not just the S area, but occasionally other areas as well.

After all, Chuncheng is still a whole. Area A is the center for overall coordination, and the official shelters in other areas are all connected to that area.

This kind of feasting and revelry is at least much better than Wu Ye's time.

Seeing that Luo Qi and the others were not short of supplies, Tang Tian agreed to her request and made an appointment to meet next night.

The house had been almost cleaned up, but since it didn't rain, Tang Tian didn't install the rainwater collection system.

Because she had the wood attribute ability, Wei Mingxia cleaned out a room on the first floor as a planting room.

Tang Yi used her ice-attribute abilities to build an ice house, and also laid one-way visual film and blackout curtains on the floor-to-ceiling windows.

Wei Mingxia knew that Tang Tian would be busy later, so she simply made a dish of beef tenderloin with Hangzhou pepper, baked shrimp with asparagus, and braised noodles with green beans, and also boiled a pot of mung bean and lily soup.

In some areas, the beans plant takes over the entire summer and there is no way to eat them all.

Wei Mingxia also tried to build a frame in the planting room to grow beans, which was indeed much faster than other plants.

Lilies are fresh flowers harvested from the garden, peeled and washed one by one, and then boiled with mung beans. By the end, the lilies are soft and the mung beans are cooked until they are fully blossomed, clearing away heat and relieving summer heat.

Especially if you refrigerate it after drinking it and wait until the next time you drink it, it will be even cooler.

After eating and drinking, Tang Tian took Tan Tan to the central villa.

When Li Feiyang learned that she was going to teach Luo Qi and the others kung fu, he couldn't wait to raise his hand and join, as this would be a guarantee of survival in the future.

After Tang Tian got Luo Qi's consent, she took him over.

It seems that the central villa is not open today, just waiting for her arrival.

Luo Qi welcomed the two of them in. The crystal chandelier was still on in the room, and there was even a hint of incense. The conditions were much better than those of ordinary people.

The girls gathered inside were not interested in them, but were interested in Tan Tan. After all, there were no furry creatures that could heal people nowadays.

Seeing Tang Tian's tacit consent, Tan Tan sat down and let them stroke her with his tongue out. Luo Qi clapped her hands and said:

"Alright everyone, you should still remember Tang Tian. It was she who dealt with Wu Ye and saved us. Now that she's living here, I'm thinking of asking her to come and teach us some self-defense so we can prepare for the future. What do you think?"

The girls chirped in response, most of them agreeing.

But the next second, a discordant voice appeared:

"Luo Qi, now we don't have to worry like before. We've even stockpiled supplies, and we don't have to bother learning self-defense anymore, right? Besides, this person's attacks are all lethal, so she wouldn't teach us for nothing. Do you really want us to gather supplies for her?"

Tang Tian looked in the direction of the voice and saw a girl about the same age as Luo Qi, standing alone leaning against the stair railing, with disdain and gloom between her brows.

Luo Qi said calmly:

"Yu Wei, it's okay if you don't want to learn, but I won't ask you to provide the supplies. If anyone wants to learn, I'll keep track of them to avoid any further disputes later!"

The woman named Yu Wei snorted and glared at her, then turned and went upstairs to the second floor, ignoring them.

The other girls understood the situation and thought that they couldn't keep doing this business forever and that they would have to rely on themselves in the end, so most of them signed up.

This was Tang Tian's first time as a teacher, so she asked them to change into light clothes and cleared the living room as a training ground, after all, it was still very hot outside.

However, before learning self-defense, Tang Tian believed that they should first improve their physical fitness. She, Tang Yi, and Wei Mingxia had also gone through the same process.

After about two hours of training, it was over. Not only the girls, but even Li Feiyang, who had worked out at home, felt the urge to lie down.

I really didn’t expect that Tang Tian is actually a devil coach!

Because this was just exercise, Tang Tian did not collect any supplies. Moreover, this kind of exercise must be persisted in to produce results, so teaching self-defense skills will probably have to wait until later.

But seeing that Luo Qi and the others seemed to have no shortage of supplies, Tang Tian suddenly had an idea.

She pulled Luo Qi, who was wiping her sweat, to the corner with a smile on her face.

This was the first time Luo Qi saw Tang Tian smile. Although she was smiling, she felt a sudden chill on her sweaty back.

"Luo Qi, there are trading markets outside and inside the shelter now. Why don't we make a deal?"

Tang Tian rubbed her fingertips and suggested:

"If you have supplies I want, I'll exchange them for supplies you can definitely use. How about that?"

Tang Tian is Luo Qi's savior. It can be said that as long as it is not excessive, she will agree to the latter.

But after hearing what Tang Tian said, she became a little curious.

Tang Tian took something out of his pocket mysteriously and showed it to her.

When Luo Qi saw this, her expression relaxed.

It turned out to be a box of children's burping masks!

This is indeed a precious thing for those who are currently working in that business.

In fact, after deciding to do so, they also worried about the risks involved. If they didn't do it, they would die, and if they did it, they would also die. At one point, they thought that this was their fate, and they just had to survive first.

I didn’t expect Tang Tian to take it out like this.

Luo Qi asked:

"How many of these do you have?"

Tang Tian found an excuse:

"I once found an abandoned factory with a lot of boxes inside, and I took them all. I don't need this right now, so I might as well trade it with you. We can each get what we need!"

Luo Qi happily agreed. After Tang Tian told her what supplies she wanted, and then took Tan Tan and Li Feiyang away, she told the others the news.

Jiangnan Liyuan has resumed its previous operations. Apart from the lights turning on at the door every night, there is a group of girls who have started to exercise.

Tang Tian would go to the central villa every once in a while and exchange condoms for daily necessities, medicines and fuel. It must be said that they really squeezed a lot of supplies from the people in the shelter.

Even Yu Wei, who initially raised objections, had to bow to Tang Tian and exchange supplies for the child's burping mask.

Tang Tian would sometimes hear some gossip, such as that Yu Wei had actually never liked Luo Qi. She had suffered a lot because of Luo Qi in the beginning, and now she could not compare to Luo Qi in every aspect. Most of the girls who stayed behind also listened to her, so she regarded the latter as a thorn in her side.

Tang Tian shook her head speechlessly.

She actually considered this a performance achievement? At this time, she was still engaging in internal strife?

But soon, she returned to her old ways and offered to exchange valuables for supplies.

After hearing what Tang Tian said, Luo Qi and others were a little confused.

They used to like those gold, jade, and jewelry, but now they are not as important as a bite to eat and drink.

Even their customers rarely use these to pay, so what is Tang Tian going to do with them?

Tang Tian naturally would not tell them the truth, and directly threw out the supplies she wanted to exchange.

She understood that ordinary supplies would not easily satisfy them, so these supplies had to make the girls stunned one by one so that they would dispel their concerns and exchange smoothly.

Milk powder can be made from milk from the farm using a grinder; honey is nectar collected from the flowers in the garden;

The fruit wine is brewed in wine barrels and then packaged, and there is also dried fruit made in a dryer!

However, the safes where the indigenous residents of Jiangnan Liyuan kept their valuables had all been taken away by Tang Tian. Even though half of the girls were indigenous, they did not have any valuables on hand.

But if they didn't have it, how could the guests who came over not have it? Moreover, these people who came out of the shelter also felt that valuables had depreciated, so since the girls they liked wanted it, they gave it to them in large quantities.

The girls who received the valuables went to Tang Tian to exchange them for various precious materials. Thus, the industrial chain was officially formed. Tang Tian could get a lot of valuables without leaving home!

Sometimes she would go to the central villa to watch the girls' training.

I don’t know if it was because they were too tired or someone was interfering, but some people gradually gave up and stopped joining the training.

Tang Tian was too lazy to persuade them. She just waited until the rest of her body was better, and then she began to teach them self-defense skills with all her heart. She could also get a batch of supplies from it.

As the days passed, Tang Tian looked at the thermometer and found that the temperature outside had dropped to around 50 degrees.

The temperature at night is around 40 degrees Celsius. Although it is still hot, it is better than before.

Moreover, the extreme cold was gradually warming up at that time, so everyone regarded this as a sign that the extreme heat was about to end, and even the frozen atmosphere relaxed a little.

Tang Tian opened the system and when she collected the ingredients, she specifically checked the newly purchased sap extractor.

After clicking, she received two new items: peach gum and maple syrup.

Both of these are common items extracted from trees, but because natural disasters have destroyed most of the greenery, these are no longer common items.

Fortunately, what I got directly were dried peach gum and packaged commercial maple syrup, so I had a reason to sell them.

Tang Tian put it into the warehouse with satisfaction. It happened that she needed to repair the ice house today, so she unlocked a dish with ice attribute level 10 - fruit ice cream.

Simply put, this delicacy is a fruit hodgepodge. It requires a wide variety of fruits, and all of them must be collected before it can be made.

It was a hot day, perfect for eating cool fruits. Once it was ready, it was a big bowl, enough for the mother and her two daughters to have superpowers after eating it.

The temperature starting to drop is a good sign. At this time, you don’t even need to turn on the cooling device when living in the igloo.

While Tang Tian was sitting on a ladder repairing something, the intercom on the coffee table began to vibrate several times. She jumped down lightly to receive the message.

Unexpectedly, the message from the other end was from Gu Bin:

"Miss Tang, are you there?"

After Tang Tian responded, the other party finally breathed a sigh of relief and replied:

"The temperature has dropped recently, and the heat-resistant crops developed in the laboratory have also been harvested. The shelter has decided to continue distributing food and water to outsiders."

"It's just that we didn't see you or your family when we arrived at Hexinyuan, and the building was half burned down. Are you okay?"

"I'm fine, but our house was burned down in an arson incident, so we moved and are now not far from the shelter."

Tang Tian said this and reported the address again, thinking that it was time to make another deal with the authorities.

Gu Bin was stunned when he heard the address.

In fact, Jiangnan Liyuan is much closer to the shelter than Hexinyuan, but the authorities have already found out what that place is.

Those who had a large amount of supplies in the shelter would rather give the supplies to the women than invest in the construction project, so they were unhappy and the order of distributing supplies was changed.

He didn't expect Tang Tian to move there too. Could it be...

After Gu Bin finished the tasks in the rest of the area, the two trucks drove towards Jiangnan Liyuan.

After the loudspeaker broadcast the announcement in a loop, people came one after another to collect supplies, almost all of them were women.

Even after moving, Tang Tian chose to go out last. By the time it was her turn in the queue, her bucket of multi-grain porridge was almost empty.

Yu Wei looked at the plastic bag in her hand with disdain. It contained multi-grain porridge, so she secretly found a corner to throw it away.

But when she turned around again, she saw Tang Tian talking to the soldiers who were maintaining order. She didn't know what to say, but judging from the atmosphere, they were having a very happy chat.

Yu Wei snorted in her heart.

After all, aren't we just selling smiles like them? Who is nobler than the other? I don't know what I'm so proud of!

Luo Qi is that vase. Sooner or later, I will be able to replace her and become the new boss!

This time, the relief supplies were much better than before. The multi-grain porridge was thicker and was made from newly developed sorghum and millet, as well as grain stored before the apocalypse.

There are also heat-resistant crops grown in the shelter, especially corn, beans, water spinach, sweet potato leaves, etc. Meat is still canned food with a long shelf life.

After receiving the supplies, Tang Tian did stay at L for a while longer. After finally seeing Gu Bin again, she had to ask him if there was any latest news, which would probably be more accurate than what was on the radio.
