Nan Xiangwan was unaware that there were others like her who had been reborn until they met and discovered that they had both been reborn.
So Nan Xiangwan thought he was already pretty awesome, but after meeting some big shots, he realized that a newbie is always a newbie, and it's better to just latch onto a big shot.
On August 19th, the temperature reached 69 degrees Celsius. The power lines finally couldn't withstand the intense sunlight and caught fire, causing a power outage throughout the city.
All the residents who were at home that day were also in a state of panic because it was so hot. Those who had prepared small generators at home could use a fan, but it was not enough. They could only turn on the refrigerator and rely on the limited air conditioning to cool down.
The repairmen worked under the scorching sun to restore power, and it wasn't until evening that the power was finally restored. But their joy was short-lived, as the power went out again the next day, and people started to panic.
Nan Xiangwan also turned on a kerosene generator at home. After all, the power grid and air conditioning in the yard still needed electricity, and she could afford it anyway.
When they have free time, the two of them mostly practice ancient martial arts and swordsmanship in the space, and occasionally they can spar with each other.
On August 20th, the hospital was already full of patients suffering from heatstroke. If the hospital hadn't had its own generator, it probably wouldn't have been able to do any normal work.
Nan Xiangwan also took the opportunity to check the news while the power was restored. It was said that volcanic eruptions occurred in many parts of the country. The worst hit was Country R. It can be said that the entire local population was destroyed in an instant. It was a horrific sight. Even tsunamis occurred one after another.
Until this time, many people were wondering if it was the end of the world.
The government has been doing its best to reassure the people, and many far-sighted individuals have started going out to stock up on goods despite the high temperatures.
On August 25, all network power stopped working normally, and even the workers were unable to repair it. The temperature had reached 72 degrees, and it was difficult to breathe when going out.
Of course, the phone also became just a decoration.
When Nanxiangwan is bored, he stays at home reading various books and occasionally cooks a meal.
But the peaceful days were soon broken.
Because some people discovered that their house's protective electric grid was electrified, they all started secretly trying to go to their house to cool off or ask for an extra generator.
On the morning of August 26, just after dawn, someone knocked on the door of Nan Xiangwan's house.
Upon hearing the noise, Nan Haochen got up irritably and, seeing that his older sister was still asleep, reached out and nudged her.
It wasn't that Nanxiang slept soundly because he stayed up late last night, but rather that he slept so sweetly.
He was suddenly woken up and said angrily, "Why did you wake me up? We can talk about it after you've woken up."
Nan Haochen scratched his hair and said helplessly, "Sis, someone's been knocking on our door for ages. Shouldn't we go out and check it out?"
"Let them knock, ignore them, they'll leave in a bit. It's so hot outside, I don't believe they can keep knocking forever."
"Alright, fine, I'm going back to sleep now. You're really disturbing my peaceful dreams."
The siblings ignored the people outside and continued sleeping.
"Do you think no one lives here? Why hasn't anyone opened the door for so long?"
The other residents who came with them looked at each other in bewilderment, wondering why the generator was running if no one was home.
At this moment, an older middle-aged man said, "I think either they didn't hear it, or they heard it but didn't want to open the door. Do any of you know this family? The courtyard wall has been renovated so badly that even ghosts can't get in; it's like a prison cell."
“I know, I’m their neighbor. There are two siblings living in this house, and they are quite wealthy. Before the heat wave came, I saw them going out to buy things every day, with truckloads of them going back and forth. I suppose they have a lot of food at home.”
"It's not about food now, but who has a spare generator? The sun is about to rise again, and we can't all hide in the basement to cool off. Even in the basement it's still very hot. It's okay for adults, but the children can't stand it."
“I think they must have extra generators. If I had known it would turn out like this, I should have bought the generators when I sent the message in the group.”
"The key is who could have imagined this would happen. We had a solar generator at home, but it overheated and caused a fever."
"Sigh, never mind, let's go check out other places. We can't just stay here."
"Yes, let's go, let's go, we have to hurry home before the sun comes up, it's just too hot."
A group of people chattered for a long time, but seeing that there was no result, they all left, and no one knows when it will end.
Nan Xiangwan and her brother slept until noon before getting up. They glanced at the weather outside and found it was still very hot. Even the trees were starting to wither. They thought that the days of water shortage were probably coming soon, and when that day came, humans would go crazy and would kill each other for water.
After all, this was how it was in the previous life, and it was from this day that social order began to gradually collapse.
"Sister, are we going to stay at home like this for a whole year?"
"Yeah, more or less. We can only go out when it gets colder."
"Oh, it's so boring. I can't play games anymore, and my favorite comics are gone too."
"I bought a lot of novels and comic books. Go read that. You still have to do some exercise later."
"Fine." That's all we can do for now. It's better than just sitting at home doing nothing. Luckily, he and his sister have each other for company, otherwise this kind of life would drive them crazy sooner or later.
Beijing City.
After Zhan Siyu's surgical incision had almost fully healed, he couldn't wait to be discharged from the hospital, as he really didn't have much time left.
After all, if his memory served him correctly, the high temperature would be followed by bloody rain, and then by extreme cold weather. He had to hurry up and build a temporary safe base. It would be okay if he was alone, but his subordinates were still waiting for his arrangements.
Bei Minghao was also very glad that he had listened to his boss, otherwise he would really be at a loss. Who would have thought that the apocalypse in the movie would happen to them, and who knows when this awful weather will end.
Zhan Siyu drove to his private villa first, packed all his belongings into his personal space before leaving. Then, when he passed by several unmanned supermarkets, he also collected some items. Of course, he didn't go too far and only took half of the supplies, at least leaving some room for others to survive.
Then he drove all the way to his secret base, which was already home to many people. Because generators had been stockpiled in advance, the lives of the people there were not affected.
After Zhan Si encountered Da, his men all surrounded him.
"Boss."
"Boss."
"Hmm, have you made arrangements for your families?"
"The boss has made all the arrangements, but a few families didn't come. They're all staying in their own villas, and they all have generators."
"In that case, then forget about it. Notice that the meeting will start in the conference room in 20 minutes."
"Okay, boss."
