The people of Nanshi were eventually so frightened that they ran back home.
The people of Wancheng are simply demons. Not only do they have no compassion, but they also kill without hesitation. They are utterly inhuman.
Even after the people from Nanshi fled, Wancheng did not let its guard down. The brothers took turns guarding the city every day to prevent outsiders from taking advantage of Wancheng.
The municipal authorities, knowing that the resort had repelled the people from Nanshi, were even more grateful to Qin Su.
"Miss Qin is truly admirable for quietly protecting the safety of Wancheng."
Without Secretary Li even having to say anything, they automatically sped up their work.
They cannot let Miss Qin down; they must do what they can.
However, after the extreme heat arrived, the nights became much shorter.
Less than six hours later, it started to get light.
By six o'clock, it was already bright outside, and then the temperature rose rapidly.
"Oh my god, is the temperature going to rise even higher?"
Wang Shanshan stared at the thermometer; the scale had stopped at 70 degrees Celsius. It was only morning; based on the weather conditions of the past two days, it would have reached 80 degrees Celsius by noon.
This is only the third day of extreme heat. If it continues like this, won't we really have to roast human flesh?
"Get ready."
Qin Su sighed. In her previous life, the temperature rose to 85 degrees Celsius, then slowly dropped, eventually settling around 70 degrees Celsius for six months. Thinking back to that time, it was truly excruciating.
She had no idea how she managed to keep going despite her frail body in her past life.
However, in this life, the extreme heat didn't seem to affect her much, except for keeping her indoors.
I comfortably ate the grapes Aunt Zhi brought me, and then secretly ate an ice cream. I felt extremely comfortable all over.
"Master, this ice cream is so delicious, I'd like another one."
When Qin Su was eating ice cream, Xie Erxun saw her and then things spiraled out of control.
"You've already eaten five, you can't eat anymore."
Xie Erxun's attempts to charm and be cute were ineffective; he even resorted to threats.
"If my master doesn't give me any to eat, I'll tell Aunt Zhi and Sister Shan."
Qin Su is in poor health, and these two are watching her closely to make sure she doesn't eat anything cold. If they find out she ate ice cream, they'll definitely keep an even closer eye on her from now on.
Qin Su narrowed her eyes. This kid dared to threaten her?
"I... I just want to eat one more, the last one, Master, please have mercy on me, I was wrong, I'll kneel on durians after I finish this one, okay? Just let me have one!"
Xie Erxun knelt on the ground timidly, practically wagging his tail.
Qin Su was speechless, but in the end she still threw him an ice cream.
Well, this guy is in great shape. He ate five big ice creams, so one more shouldn't be a problem.
...
After finishing the last ice cream, Xie Erxun obediently went out to work.
It's too hot; he needs to make more heat-relieving potions to provide for all the survivors in Wancheng.
With someone to do the work, Qin Su was happy to have an easier time. After the extreme heat, she felt very sleepy, and she was only awake for about five hours each day.
I wonder if Huo Sijin will still be sober when she comes back.
She had originally planned to go out and confess her feelings to him, but given the weather, she decided against it; she didn't want to die of heatstroke outside.
Huo Sijin, is it this hot where you are too? Are you alright?
Sleepiness washed over her, and Qin Su fell asleep again.
Huo Sijin, far away in Fengdu, finally dug up a meteorite from ten meters underground.
"My little apprentice, your master will be back soon."
When Qin Su woke up, it was still daylight outside.
It was already 5 p.m. on the second day, and the temperature had reached 80 degrees Celsius.
There wasn't a breath of wind outside, and the persistent heat made everyone feel stifled.
"This awful weather, I wonder when it will end."
Li Tang prepared his weapons, intending to go to the city gate for duty after dark.
The hotter the weather, the more chaotic things become in the southern part of the city.
After refusing the people from Nanshi's offer of refuge last time, people in Nanshi began to resort to cannibalism and even killing each other. In order to survive, they have lost their humanity.
The brothers initially couldn't bear to see this, but gradually they became numb to it.
In just a few days, the population of Nanshi has decreased by more than half, and they have no idea what the future holds.
"Starting today, I don't need to go out."
Qin Su couldn't bear to let his brothers suffer in the heat, but a few days ago he was still worried that people from Nanshi would come.
By the fourth day of extreme heat, those who had survived in Nanshi no longer had the strength to scavenge for supplies.
The brothers have all lost weight from exhaustion these past few days, so Qin Su asked Aunt Zhi to prepare some delicious food to reward them.
During this time, the livestock kept in the backyard were also moved indoors, where it was cooler and their growth was not affected.
The brothers were having a great time eating Dongpo pork, braised pork knuckle, chicken soup, and roast beef.
Thanks to Miss's wisdom in preparing everything in advance, otherwise they would probably have been tortured to death by this apocalypse, just like the people of Nanshi.
They absolutely must treat the young lady even better, much better!
The crops planted by the municipal government over the past two days are growing rapidly, and everyone's hearts are filled with excitement as they look at the lush green leaves.
"Great! The crops have sprouted!"
If crops can grow, it means they will have a harvest of food, and if they have food, they will not die.
"What Miss Qin said is indeed true; she really cares about us."
An elderly gentleman choked up, saying that he had initially been skeptical. But as it turned out, trusting Miss Qin was the right thing to do.
Miss Qin must be a fairy descended from heaven, otherwise how could she be so kind?
Secretary Li lost the opportunity for publicity again, but she was happy.
"Everyone, keep a close eye on the crops. Once they're harvested, we'll send some to Miss Qin to have a taste."
Everyone agreed, and they were all waiting for the joy of the harvest.
But this joy quickly vanished.
"We can't draw water from the well!"
The person who went to fetch water returned with an empty bucket, his face clouded with worry.
The well water has stopped flowing; how are they supposed to irrigate the crops? How are they supposed to survive?
"Don't worry, everyone, I'll go check out the resort first."
Secretary Li rushed to the resort. The weather was hot, and he was so anxious that his clothes were soaked with sweat.
"Uncle Mo, all the wells at the municipal site have dried up. Is there any water at the resort?"
Just then, Mo Rongguang was at the gate, and Secretary Li hurriedly asked as soon as he got out of the car.
"Yes, Miss also anticipated that you would soon run out of water, and has already arranged for someone to send water down."
Secretary Li looked up and saw that his men had already driven out in the water truck.
"That's wonderful! Miss Qin is truly a prophet!"
He was relieved.
"Uncle Mo, please thank Miss Qin for me. I'll go to the municipal government to make arrangements now, and I'll visit Miss Qin again next time."
Mo Rongguang sighed. It's so hot outside, and this child is really working hard running back and forth.
I hope everything goes smoothly with the municipal government, and that the survivors in Wancheng can all live well.
