A new day has begun!
As soon as the sun came out today, the temperature soared to 65 degrees Celsius. At this rate, it will reach at least 75 degrees Celsius by noon.
With temperatures this high, people walking on the street would probably get roasted alive.
The municipal authorities worked through the night and finally installed the air conditioner in the city hall. With the air conditioner installed, everyone gathered in the hall, and no one dared to go out.
Secretary Li began to divide the group into teams and assign tasks to everyone.
"Starting tonight, we will arrange farming tasks, and the salary will be paid according to one jin of grain per day."
It's cooler at night than during the day.
Upon hearing about farming, many people signed up. At this time, survival depended on food. Now that they had the opportunity to grow food, of course they wanted to!
Seeing that everyone agreed, Secretary Li began to promote Qin Su's virtues again.
"Everyone should know that people outside don't even have tree bark to eat or water to drink, but we can still eat our fill, all thanks to Miss Qin."
"Miss Qin is so kind to us, we must work hard and try to grow more grain to repay her."
Everyone nodded repeatedly: "Yes, we have cold air, food to wear, water to drink, and supplies, all thanks to Miss Qin. We will definitely do our best to repay Miss Qin!"
Although they don't know what they can do for Miss Qin right now, they will definitely repay her if they have the chance.
Secretary Li was satisfied. "Yes, this kind of publicity must be continued so that they will remember it. Only when they remember it will they take actual action!"
Qin Su was unaware that Secretary Li had won over people's hearts for her. After a sleepless night, she finally handed a large bag of medicine powder to Li Tang.
"If people from Nanshi come to loot supplies, sprinkle the medicine powder on them."
She didn't want her own people to get hurt; anyone who could be knocked out with the powder had to be taken down with the powder.
"Don't worry, Miss, I will definitely defend Wancheng and do my best to prevent my brothers from getting hurt."
Li Tang was moved; the young lady had stayed up all night for the safety of her brothers.
"Listen to me, make sure you stay safe and don't get hurt unless absolutely necessary. Miss will be worried about you. There's nothing else we can do, but don't cause her any more trouble."
The brothers had tears in their eyes; the young lady really cared about them so much.
Qin Su: ……
It seems that Li Tang's words make her seem quite noble.
By noon, the temperature had indeed reached 75 degrees Celsius.
Driven by curiosity, Xie Erxun placed an iron pot outside and cracked an egg on it. The egg was cooked in less than three minutes.
"Master, if we go out in this temperature, we'll definitely get heatstroke."
At this time, the people of Nanshi gathered together. After two consecutive days of extreme heat, many survivors died.
Some died from the heat, some from starvation. The city's supplies were exhausted, and everyone had to fend for themselves. But in this apocalyptic world, they couldn't farm. With supplies depleted, their only option was to plunder from other cities.
"The people of Wancheng are very formidable. We can't charge in head-on; we have to outsmart them."
...
Qin Su's drone captured their discussion, and upon hearing their plan, she was speechless.
At this point, they still want to use morality to bind her!
The orange sun slowly slid down the horizon, and the coolest time of day had finally arrived.
The municipal authorities have started planting. Most of the wells that Qin Su had dug are still overflowing, so planting heat-resistant plants is not too difficult for everyone.
The only difficulty is that the weather is too hot, and people get tired easily. They can't work for very long before they need to rest.
Qin Su brought over mung beans, and Secretary Li arranged for someone to cook mung bean soup for everyone.
"Miss Qin is so kind to us. Even at this time, she still has the ability to bring out such precious supplies to help everyone cool off."
As everyone drank the mung bean soup, a sweet and touching feeling washed over them, reminding them that there was no one better than Miss Qin in the world.
Only by following Miss Qin can they have a future and a way out!
Meanwhile, at the gate of Wancheng, Li Tang and his brothers were keeping an eye on the people from the South Market below the city.
Many people from Nanshi came, but they didn't come to rob the supplies directly. Instead, they all knelt on the ground, begging the people of Wancheng to take them in.
"Wancheng can't take you in, so get back here right now, or don't blame me for killing you."
Li Tang roared angrily, determined with the people of Nanshi that they would not leave.
"I know the resort has a lot of supplies. Please share some with us, even just a bowl of thin porridge. Please have some compassion and save us."
There were over 100,000 people from Nanshi who came. With that kind of scale, if everyone drank a sip of thin porridge and drank it every day, the resort's warehouse would be empty in no time. It's amazing how easily people make such a claim.
"I said no, and that's it. If you keep arguing, I'll get rough."
It's the end of the world now, and the Li Tang dynasty has long lost its previous mindless benevolence.
In this situation, making an example of someone is the first tactic.
He picked up his bow and arrow and aimed it at the man who still tried to speak.
call out!
The arrow struck the man between the eyebrows, and the overwhelming fear made him wet himself.
"If he doesn't leave now, this is what will happen to him."
It was probably agreed upon before they came that Li Tang's move to make an example of them had absolutely no effect on them.
Haha, it seems we still need to use something powerful.
"Sprinkle the young lady's medicine powder on!"
Originally, I didn't want to waste the young lady's hard work, but these people wouldn't leave, so I had no choice but to use the medicine powder.
"Ah, ahhh, it hurts so much, ahhh..."
The people below the city were poisoned by the drug powder and began to experience severe pain.
"Why does it hurt so much? How could this happen?"
Some people suspected Qin Su was responsible and cursed her despite the excruciating pain.
"If Qin Su doesn't receive the supplies, may he die a horrible death!"
Li Tang's eyes turned cold, and he took out his bow and arrows again.
"Listen up, brothers! Anyone who insults the young lady will be killed without mercy!"
How dare those people slander their young lady?
"yes!"
The deafening response sent a shiver down the spines of the people of Nanshi below the city gate.
"You're doing so well, why can't you help us?"
Li Tang laughed angrily: "Why should we help you? Just because you're shameless and thick-skinned?"
"Let me tell you, Wancheng is not a place anyone can covet. If you want to steal supplies, go somewhere else, or next time, I'll make sure you don't leave alive!"
The people of Nanshi were in excruciating pain, and after witnessing several people being killed, they began to feel terrified.
But they've paid such a high price; they can't just leave like this.
"You killed people and made us sick, you should be held responsible for this."
Someone came up with a new trick to trap Wancheng, and Li Tang's response was to draw his bow and arrow.
"Are you trying to steal from others and take advantage of them?"
"If you have one, step forward and I'll make sure you die a quick death."
