Chapter 29 Extreme Heat



Without further ado, Qi Yanche quickly made up the training schedule, planning to start training the next day. However, they had no idea what awaited them.

On the 806 side, the fans and portable diesel generators were brought out early, because according to the timeline of the previous life, the temperature was going to rise tonight.

Cheng Zhi had already changed into a tank top and laid out a cooling mat. Huang Yiyi, who came over for a visit, looked at this scene with great curiosity and asked, "Zhi Zhi, just how hot is it?"

Cheng Zhi stopped, put her hands on her hips and thought for a while, "It's so hot I feel like throwing up, so hot I want to run around naked. Many people have died from the heat, it's probably this level."

Huang Yiyi grimaced in pain just hearing about it and quickly went back to prepare everything in her room.

Xiao Feiran came out of the space, lay on the bed, and counted on her fingers, "I got 15 ice packs, and put two cases of water in the freezer. We took a lot of ice cream before, and if we finish it, we have an oven and can make our own."

Cheng Zhi also lay down, staring blankly at the two small fans. "Anyway, we can't stay on the second floor, so we'll go to the first floor. If the first floor doesn't work, we'll go to the basement. If the basement doesn't work, we'll just go into the space."

Xiao Feiran nodded, then suddenly thought of the four boys next door. She turned and lay on her side, looking at Cheng Zhi and saying, "What about the boys next door? They don't know anything. What if something happens to them?"

Upon hearing this, Cheng Zhi's expression turned serious. "Oh right, what about French Fries? It's covered in fur, won't it get too hot? Should we bring it over here?"

Xiao Feiran: "...?"

"No, your focus is a bit peculiar. Are people more important or dogs?! You're ignoring the four of them and worrying about the dog first?" Xiao Feiran's face was full of disbelief.

Cheng Zhi quickly explained, "A living person certainly wouldn't die from holding their pee. Those four grown men would definitely find a way to manage on their own. But dogs can't talk, so dogs are in more danger. Doesn't what I'm saying make sense?"

That made a lot of sense, and Xiao Feiran was actually convinced. She stroked her chin and thought for a moment, then clapped her hands and said, "As long as the fries come, we'll make sure the dog is comfortable."

In another room, Chen Siyu pulled the curtains open a tiny crack. It was pitch black outside, with only a few windows emitting a faint light.

Zheng Wan, who was at the foot of the bed, plugged in the fan and then dragged the pillow from the head of the bed to the foot of the bed. "Sleeping here means I can easily turn on the fan if it gets hot at night. Perfect!"

Huang Yiyi emptied the small refrigerator that was previously full of skincare products and filled it with purified water and iced cola.

Chen Siyu sat on the bed and smiled at the two of them, "It won't be this hot tonight, so stop fussing and go to sleep."

Zheng Wan climbed onto the bed and lay down. "Anyway, it has to be done sooner or later, so it's better to get it done sooner. Then I won't have to move when it gets too hot."

After saying that, Zheng Wan closed her eyes and prepared to sleep, but she suddenly opened her eyes again after only two seconds and sat up in bed.

This startled Chen Siyu greatly. "It scared me. I suddenly remembered something. It's like she came back to life."

"There are still mung beans in the space. I'll cook some mung bean soup, put it on ice tonight, and we can drink it tomorrow!" After saying that, he flashed into the space.

Huang Yi leaned against the headboard reading a book. She was about to say "go to sleep early and we'll deal with it tomorrow" but she swallowed it back down.

Chen Siyu closed her eyes, patted the bed to signal Huang Yiyi to go to sleep early, "Let Wan do whatever she wants, anyway there's nothing to do tomorrow, no need to get up early."

Huang Yiyi wanted to watch for a little longer, so she turned off the main light and left a bedside lamp on.

Afraid of disturbing Siyu, he handed her an eye mask and earplugs. But Chen Siyu shook her head, "It's okay, I can sleep."

Huang Yiyi was surprised. She clearly remembered that Chen Siyu was most afraid of light and sound when she slept, and could not fall asleep without an eye mask and earplugs.

"If you sleep with earplugs and an eye mask on in the apocalypse, you won't even know how you died. I don't need these things anymore. I can sleep in any environment now." After saying that, he closed his eyes, and soon his breathing became even.

In another villa, French fries kept running around the house, occasionally howling.

Seeing the dog like this, Lu Yuan was frightened and looked at Qi Yanche, who had just come out of the shower, "Brother Yan, the fries are barking again. Is another typhoon coming?"

Qi Yanche squatted down and patted the fries reassuringly, his eyes full of worry. "Don't be so afraid of wind and rain. This house is halfway up the mountain, so it won't be flooded anytime soon."

Chen Yiyi clutched her head in anguish. "Who knows if it's raining? What if it's something else, an earthquake? A tsunami? No way!"

Shen Lingfeng walked quickly to the window, opened it, and reached out. There wasn't even a breeze, let alone a typhoon.

Everyone's faces turned quite grim.

Qi Yanche looked out the dark window and didn't say much, only reminding everyone to be more vigilant tonight and to communicate with each other immediately if anything seemed amiss.

He held the anxiously pacing French fries in his arms, stroking its newly grown short fur intermittently.

Perhaps it was the owner's soothing words that worked, but Fries gradually calmed down, and its originally tense tail relaxed, patting Qi Yanche's arm gently.

Seeing that the fries had quieted down, Qi Yanche turned his gaze to the villa behind the wall. He was a little worried about the group of girls. Without the pets sending any signals, would they be in danger?

As if knowing what Qi Yanche was thinking, the fries placed its paws on Qi Yanche's chest and patted it twice, as if to say, "Don't worry, they're fine."

Seeing the fries like that, Qi Yanche was amused and muttered to himself, "Yeah, they're so capable, they'll definitely be fine."

In the dead of night, while everyone is fast asleep, the temperature is not; it continues to rise silently.

Cheng Zhi and Chen Siyu, still half asleep, fumbled for the fan switch, turned it on, and then fell back into a deep sleep.

The boys didn't fare so well. Boys are naturally more sensitive to heat, and they were completely awakened by the heat, so they could only take off their shirts and lie on the floor to get a little coolness.

French Fries was terribly hot, lying on the ground sticking out its tongue frantically, its tail too tired to wag. Qi Yanche used a small fan to fan French Fries intermittently.

"What's going on? It's suddenly so hot." Chen Yi got up to drink water and wash her face.

Lu Yuan lay on the floor, fanning himself with a few sheets of paper. "I have a bad feeling. I feel like this isn't just a simple increase in temperature."

Qi Yanche picked up a tissue and wiped the sweat off his body.

It wasn't good to stay in this heat, so he got up and went to the basement. He vaguely remembered there was an old antique downstairs, which would be perfect for him now.
