As night fell, the city officials stood at the door, eagerly awaiting the arrival of the resort staff.
"They're here! They're here! The people from the resort are here!"
Secretary Li stood at the front and shouted excitedly when he saw the resort's vehicle. He knew that Miss Qin could always be trusted.
He became even more excited when he saw Qin Su get out of the car.
"Miss Qin, why did you come in person?"
"It's hot outside, please come in."
Secretary Li led Qin Su into the house, but the house, which had no air conditioning, was not much cooler; the stuffiness was suffocating.
What's the current situation with the municipal government?
Secretary Li's eyes reddened. He had thought that the disaster would eventually pass, but now it was coming faster and more dangerous, and he was truly afraid.
But he couldn't let anyone see his fear; if even he, the leader, was afraid, the other survivors would certainly be even more terrified.
Qin Su's arrival finally gave him someone to confide in, and he was able to release his emotions.
"The city's supplies can last for more than a month, but this extreme heat came suddenly and we don't know when it will end, so we're afraid the supplies will be insufficient."
In the extreme heat, crops could not be grown. And the livestock began to show signs of illness.
As things continue, and the survivors' supplies dwindle, many conflicts will arise. At that point, the situation in the city will be even more dangerous than before.
“It’s alright. I brought some heat-resistant seeds with me. You can plant them first. As for water, if there isn’t enough water here, I’ll have Li Tang bring water down every day.”
Miss Qin has indeed thought everything through!
The way Secretary Li looked at Qin Su was as if she were looking at a compassionate bodhisattva.
"Yes, yes, Miss Qin, you've worked hard."
Despite her own poor health, Ms. Qin still braved the sweltering heat to come and check on the situation. She is truly a very, very good person.
After Qin Su finished explaining the situation, she went out to check on the survivors.
They have supplies and stored water, so their current situation is not bad.
Secretary Li then announced that Qin Su would send seeds and water, which reassured the survivors.
"Thank you, Miss Qin!"
When Qin Su left, everyone came to see her off. From afar, she could still hear the grateful shouts of the survivors.
They trusted her so much, she couldn't let them down. There were no problems within Wancheng, but if the danger came from outside, Wancheng wouldn't be so peaceful.
"Li Tang, go for a walk outside Wancheng."
In her previous life, she was imprisoned in Wancheng and was not very clear about the situation outside. However, one thing she was very clear about was that the extreme heat was not just affecting Wancheng; the surrounding cities were also affected. Soon, robberies would break out outside, and some people would even rob Wancheng.
"Miss, you must be tired. Why don't we go back?"
Li Tang saw Qin Su's face covered in sweat in the rearview mirror and was anxious to rush back.
"I must go outside the city to take a look."
Qin Su emphasized her words.
Li Tang had no choice; he couldn't disobey the young lady's orders. The only thing he could do was turn the air conditioning down.
Speaking of which, this car was designed by Master Huo before he left; otherwise, the tires would have melted long ago. I don't know how Master Huo knows so much. They're both veterans, but he seems to have the air of someone from the Academy of Sciences.
The car drove on and finally arrived at the gate of Wancheng City half an hour later.
There are two cities near Wancheng: Qingshi and Nanshi.
After the monsters in Qing City were driven away, no one lived there anymore, so if there's a problem, it'll be in Nan City.
The car drove into Nanshi, where the survivors were far thinner than those in Wancheng.
They walked along the dark road, their bulging, hungry eyes constantly scanning their surroundings. Seeing any remaining tree bark, many rushed forward to snatch it.
"This is too tragic!"
Li Tang felt heavy-hearted; if things continued like this, they feared they would soon run out of food.
But despite all that, he had no intention of sending his supplies out.
If he gives his supplies to them, even more people will likely gather around, and their vehicles and supplies will be stolen, leaving them unable to guarantee their own safety.
"The apocalypse will make it impossible for more and more people to survive, and these things will become the norm in the future."
Qin Su looked numbly at the people whose eyes were dull from hunger. People who couldn't even satisfy their own needs couldn't possibly survive in the apocalypse.
Death was only a matter of time for them.
Is there no way to change this?
Li Tang muttered to himself, though he knew it was impossible, he still held onto some hope.
He believed that there must be people in the country still researching this, and maybe they could figure out a way to change the end times?
Qin Su did not answer. She did not know whether the apocalypse would be changed, but she knew that in the ten years of her previous life, no one could change the apocalypse.
So what they need to do now is protect themselves.
"I heard that people in Wancheng have a lot of good food. Why don't we go to Wancheng and take a look?"
"Yes, it's the end of the world, so helping each other is the right thing to do. The people of Wancheng are capable, so they should help us."
"Let's hurry over there! We've been starving for so many days, we'll starve to death if we don't get any food soon!"
...
Qin Su and Li Tang only emerged from the shadows after these people left.
It was only the first day of extreme heat, yet these people had already come up with the idea of entering Wancheng to plunder supplies.
"Miss, once we get back, I will immediately arrange for more people to guard the city."
Li Tang's expression was grave. They could still handle it if one or two survivors came to steal supplies.
However, Nanshi has a large population, roughly speaking, with over 200,000 survivors. If so many people come to plunder supplies, even if the people of Wancheng are powerful, they may not be able to resist.
Qin Su frowned. In her previous life, she remembered that there weren't so many people in Nanshi robbing supplies.
Could it be that her rebirth caused many things to change?
Returning to Wancheng with a heavy heart, Qin Su went straight to the laboratory.
What happened?
Xu Jingzhi and Wang Shanshan looked worried; their young lady's expression was off this time.
After hearing Li Tang's account of what happened in Nanshi, the two of them also became worried.
"It seems we're in for another tough battle."
Xie Erxun followed Qin Su into the laboratory. Seeing that Qin Su was in a bad mood, he didn't say anything, but just obediently accompanied her to make the medicine powder.
Qin Su was busy until morning.
Ooh ooh ooh...
The crowing of roosters at dawn woke everyone at the resort.
This rooster is quite sensible; it doesn't crow early, only a few times around 5:30 every day. Over time, everyone has come to use it as an alarm clock.
Qin Su finally came to her senses, looked at the rising sun outside the window, and sighed softly.
