Han Yi took a deep breath, and the heat surging in his chest seemed to be instantly dispelled by the chill.

He breathed in the air with the scent of ice and snow almost greedily, and the huge rock in his heart that was hanging because of the scorching heat suddenly fell to the ground.

What followed was an indescribable warmth that almost drowned him.

These things...Yu Bai...

Yu Bai seemed unaware of the complex emotions in his eyes. She was more concerned about practical issues: "What's the situation outside?"

Han Yi took a deep breath, suppressed the excitement in his heart, and said in a hoarse voice, "It's terrible."

He paused, as if forming his words.

"Today's heat is more horrible than yesterday... no, it's more horrible than any other day we've ever experienced."

"The air was as hot as a knife, and the ground felt like a red-hot iron plate. If I stayed there for even a second longer, I'd feel like I was being roasted."

"Many people have already developed symptoms of heatstroke. If it weren't for the water and food you sent yesterday, I'm afraid..."

He didn't say anything else, but the tragedy in his unfinished words was already clear.

Finally, he looked at the ice cubes and refrigeration equipment, his tone filled with suppressed relief and gratitude.

"Now, you've sent us these... these life-saving things. We can finally breathe a little easier and feel a little better."

However, he then frowned slightly and his tone became heavier.

"I have space shelter, and my team members can be taken care of. But... what about the other bases? Those survivors who don't have such conditions, facing such a natural disaster, who knows how many people will die..."

Han Yi's worries are not groundless.

At this moment, in Wang Jiancheng's base, the living area originally allocated to ordinary survivors has long lost its former order and has become a real slum.

The air was filled with despair and a sickening mixture of sweat and filth.

Earlier, when Han Yi was still in the base and in charge of some affairs, these ordinary people without special abilities could still participate in base construction, logistical chores and other work in exchange for enough daily necessities to make a living. Although life was hard, they finally had a way to survive.

But since Han Yi's "accidental death", Wang Jiancheng's illegitimate son Wang Lei relied on his father's power to gradually control the actual power of the base, and the situation of these ordinary people took a sharp turn for the worse.

They were almost deprived of all channels to obtain stable food through labor. The only way to survive was to be forced to follow the team of psychics and participate in the dangerous zombie hunting.

However, for them who are unarmed and physically weak, this so-called "participation" often means becoming bait, or being pushed out as a "human shield" to resist zombies at a critical moment.

If you can come back safely once out of ten trips, it would be a great blessing for your ancestors.
