Chapter 31 Temperature Reaches 70°C
Ji Zai never expected that he would arrive at such a convenient time.
Unfortunately, it happened to coincide with Zhao Chenchen being busy.
She asked curiously, "Should I excuse myself for a moment?"
Zhao Chenchen shook her head, "No need, because I think I should also report this to the Alliance Leader."
Ji Zai then sat down.
Nan Yao had been sweating profusely for the past few days, and she was lying there half-dead. She only got out of bed when she saw someone coming.
Ouyang Yi and Nan Yao also lived together.
With an average of four people per dormitory room, only Ji Zai's dormitory 303 and Ouyang Yi's dormitory have two people each.
The rest are four people each.
However, Ouyang Yi did not initially live with just two people, but with four. Because she went to bed early and got up early every day and had a strict schedule, no one could stand it, so the people living in the dormitory ran away on their own.
The only one who persisted was Nan Yao.
The president is delighted to have a room for two.
In the words of college students, they would rather squeeze into a four-person room than go to the grueling 8 AM dorm.
This is the last stand of contemporary college students.
Ji Zai looked at Zhao Chenchen, "What do you want to say?"
Zhao Chenchen took a deep breath. "It's like this. Recently, I used a drone to survey the entire school and discovered something very interesting. The boys' dormitory area has been undergoing a mass relocation recently, and there are quite a few people involved."
Upon hearing this, Ji Zai was somewhat surprised.
Boys' dormitory?
The others were just as surprised as she was.
Nan Yao recalled the three boys she had seen hanging in the tree last time and wasn't too surprised. "Our school is full of talented people, it's normal for a few to slip through the net."
Ji Zai nodded, "But I'm still very surprised. After all, the school had already given us a break a long time ago. The reason we stayed here is because our professional exams were relatively slow. I thought that majors with more male students would have finished their exams much earlier."
"I didn't expect there to be so many, but exactly how many?"
After saying this, Zhao Chenchen shook her head, "Based on my observations over the past few days, there are quite a few boys staying on campus, probably around two hundred."
"About two hundred?"
Ji Zai was curious, but he hadn't thought of so much.
Not only was she surprised, but everyone present was astonished.
You need to know.
This group of people stayed at school for three more days after the school officially announced the holiday.
There are so many people in their building because of the exams.
So why are there so many guys on the boys' side?
This number exceeded the expectations of those present.
This surprised Ouyang Yi, the student council president. "Two hundred or so? Are you sure?"
Zhao nodded heavily, "I was completely dumbfounded. More than two hundred people ran away together, so I came directly to report to the chairman."
Thinking about the direction the boys ran in, she couldn't help but laugh and cry. "They were heading towards the lab, the place where you guys went to move experimental materials last time."
"Since it's not in the direction of our dormitory building, I don't know if this is a big deal, so I decided to come find the president first."
"Let her see if this matter needs to be reported to the Alliance Leader."
Ji Zai was stunned when he heard this.
She didn't care that Zhao Chenchen sought out Ouyang Yi first whenever she encountered a problem.
After all, that's how it should be.
If she tries to manage everything, she'll be exhausted.
Ouyang Yi was the president before and had experience in managing dormitories. However, management is one thing, but she is, after all, a college student who has not experienced many ups and downs. Therefore, she did not know how to handle important decisions.
So they would ask Ouyang Yi for all the little things in the dormitory.
After contacting Ouyang Yi, if Ouyang Yi feels that this matter is significant, she will report it to Ji Zai for a decision.
Ji Zai knew why the boys went to the lab: "The lab also uses microgrid engineering. It seems they realized the weather was bad, so they went to the lab to enjoy the air conditioning. A wise choice."
If Ji Zai hadn't felt that the dormitory was safer, she would have wanted to move to the lab area as well.
Ningbo University has an exceptionally large number of laboratories.
Many of the new drugs in it are not available on the market.
Thanks to the principal's strong connections, these things were able to be brought into the school.
If we move there, at least we won't have to worry about a shortage of experimental materials.
There are people there now, so we'll need to communicate with them before we can go.
After hearing the explanation, Ouyang Yi suddenly understood. "I see. Should we communicate with the lab? After all, there are a lot of experimental materials there, and we may have to go there again later."
“No need to go.” Ji Zai shook his head. “Although the laboratory is also a microgrid project, it’s drafty, cold in winter and hot in summer. Even with the air conditioning on, the temperature is still very high.”
"Let's talk about this after they survive."
Nan Yao expressed his agreement.
She poured a glass of water for everyone present, "And the lab is a maze of interconnected roads, so there's a high chance that zombies are roaming outside."
"Once this heatwave subsides, it's uncertain how many people will survive, so it's best to avoid contact with them."
Zhao Chenchen was stunned for a moment.
She looked at Ji Zai and Nan Yao.
They found that they didn't care much about the lives of others, and even seemed chillingly indifferent.
Clearly, they have adapted to the apocalypse.
She patted her cheeks.
I told myself to adapt to this pace as soon as possible.
Even if you can't adapt, you can't hold others back.
After giving herself a pep talk, Zhao Chenchen continued, "Actually, it wasn't just them. I also saw many people in our dormitory building, which is the entire girls' dormitory area."
"But there aren't many of them; they only number about a hundred in total."
"Currently, the entire school, including all the students, has approximately 400 students."
Zhao Chenchen relayed all the information she had gathered to the Alliance Leader. After she finished speaking, she said, "It's been too hot these past few days, so I haven't been coming out unless there's something important to do. Therefore, I'm reporting everything I've observed during this period."
After listening to Zhao Chenchen's words, Ji Zai fell into deep thought.
She paused, then said, "I understand. The weather lately has been really despairing, so I'm here to inform you that the four-person dorms may have to become eight-person dorms. The temperature is getting higher and higher, so the air conditioning temperature must be lowered."
"However, the power consumption is too high. If all the dormitories were to use high-power electricity, it would very likely cause the circuit breaker to trip."
"Therefore, merging dormitories is the most suitable option."
Upon hearing this, Ouyang Yi paused for a moment, "Okay, but this issue needs to be addressed gradually. We just changed dorm rooms, and if we change again, everyone might not be used to it."
"So this matter needs to be handled gradually."
"Okay, if the temperature continues to rise, I'll make further adjustments."
Ji Zai thought there was no problem.
She paused, then looked out the window. "Have you noticed that the zombies' howls have become quieter lately?"
Upon hearing this, everyone present was taken aback.
Nan Yao raised an eyebrow. "Now that you mention it, it's true. I've been sleeping much better lately, and the zombies' cries have even become quieter. Is it related to the temperature?"
