Chapter 85: Summer Soup

No matter who sent them, this gas station has already been taken over by someone else.

Annan looked for a while and decided to leave.

The road ahead was blocked by several large trucks waiting to transport oil tankers.

Annan parked his car in the space, walked down the road, and walked around in the darkness.

Wait until you are at a distance where the enemy can't detect you, then take out the armored vehicle and drive away.

I drove all the way to the next gas station, but found that there was only a big empty pit.

Well, that group of people got there first.

I had no choice but to drive forward.

Next to it were two gas stations, both of which had been hollowed out.

Annan did not give up and continued to move forward. When he reached the next stop, it was finally no longer a desolate pit...

It is a brightly lit work site.

Annan: ...

How come there is another construction team?

She observed for a while and felt that this construction team was in the same group as the previous one.

Although it was so hot that everyone was shirtless and their attire was not very different, the construction methods were similar. In addition, the dry food and drinking water placed in the corner as a work lunch were all of the same brand.

It should be supplied by the same boss.

Annan had no choice but to continue driving forward. The situation continued until he reached the next city.

Either it has been dug up or it has been occupied by someone else.

The other party sent several groups of workers to work simultaneously.

There were two gas stations along the way that had not yet been dug up, so she quickly took advantage of them and got another 100 tons of oil.

While collecting, I sighed: Fortunately, I got it out today. If I come tomorrow, there will be nothing left.

The other party had the same idea as her, even the timing of their action was almost the same.

But this group of people simply carried out a carpet-dig, leaving no trace for others.

Really not particular!

Annan got angry... and got angry for a while.

Well, she has already collected 300 tons of oil, which is enough for her to use, and there is even a lot left over for trading.

During this period, he was able to hire so many professional workers to work for him, and was even able to bargain with the authorities later on. This shows that the big boss behind the scenes is very powerful.

There is no need to argue with the other party and make yourself uneasy.

Annan rubbed his sore shoulders. He was exhausted after a night of hard work. He wanted to go home!

…

It was already early morning when Annan got home, and he quickly went to bed to catch up on his sleep.

I slept until noon and was woken up by the heat.

Fugui was scratching her vigorously with his claws, and Annan opened her eyes with sweat all over her forehead.

What's going on?

The air conditioner is not working?

She wiped the sweat off her face and turned down the temperature of the air conditioner, which immediately made her feel much cooler.

I took out the thermometer, opened the window and measured the temperature.

It's already 49 degrees outside! No wonder it's so hot.

The surface temperature must be around 70 degrees, right?

Annan got up, washed, filled Fugui's rice bowl with food, then took out a bowl of iced cold noodles from the space and paired it with Fat House Happy Water.

While slurping cold noodles, I watched a comedy variety show.

Just after finishing the meal, Chu Peipei came knocking on the door.

She doesn't have a puppy or any companions at home, so when she wants to chat, she can only come to Annan.

"Nannan, it's only been three days and the temperature has gone from 15 degrees to 50 degrees! It's terrible!"

As he said that, he handed the bowl in his hand to Annan: "I made mung bean soup. You can drink some to relieve the heat."

Annan didn't answer.

Extreme heat has already arrived, and water will become the most scarce resource.

The weather was already hot, causing people to sweat and become dehydrated. There was no running water, so many people died of dehydration and became dried human bodies after death.

There is an endless supply of drinking water in the villa at Annan Manor, and there is also a lot of supermarket stock in the space, so there is naturally no shortage of water.

But Chu Peipei was different. She had saved a lot of supplies before, so she drank a little less.

Annan: "I just finished my meal and can't drink any more. You can keep it."

"Oh, this is a drink to cool you down. How can it be the same as a meal? If you really get heatstroke, it's no joke."

Chu Peipei said this and stuffed the bowl into Annan's hand without saying a word.

Annan thought about it and didn't refuse. He took the mung bean soup back to the house, and then brought out a 5L bucket of mineral water and handed it to her.

Chu Peipei waved her hands and said, "No need! It's just some mung bean soup. I also left some for Zhao Ping'an. You don't need to give me anything! Besides, you treated me to barbecue last time."

Annan: "This is different from the kebabs. The weather is so hot now, and cooling drinks are so precious."

Seeing that Chu Peipei was determined not to accept it, she had no choice but to say:

"I'm too lazy to make soup, so the water is sitting there with you. If you make mung bean soup, you can give me a bowl. You provide the beans and fuel, and I provide the water. It's fair."

Chu Peipei then accepted it hesitantly.

She knew in her heart that Annan was taking care of herself. After all, in the current situation, water was much more precious than mung beans and fuel.

Annan looked at her expression and knew that she was moved again.

I couldn't help but sigh in my heart: If this water was given to others, they would have accepted it happily. Even if she didn't give it to them, there would still be people trying to snatch it away.

Chu Peipei, on the other hand, didn't want to keep anything she got, for fear of taking advantage of others.

It can be seen that this person is really good.

But people’s hearts are exchanged for people’s hearts. Chu Peipei was too embarrassed to ask for it, but she was willing to give it. Others wanted it, and begged her with tears, but she would not soften her heart.

Annan looked at Chu Peipei's condition and asked, "Did you find the air conditioner?"

Chu Peipei nodded: "After talking to you the night before yesterday, I went to the community to look for one. I got one in less than half an hour, and I also found an extra electric fan! But..."

She looked distressed and said:

“It’s not as hot when I turn on the air conditioner, but it uses too much electricity! My generator fuel won’t last long.

Nannan, when will this disaster end? The high temperature won’t continue forever, will it?..."

Annan thought: The end? I have to wait two whole years.

His expression was not obvious, he said:

"I don't know how long it will last. However, your destiny is in your own hands."

She looked at Chu Peipei seriously:

"Instead of praying for natural disasters to end as soon as possible, it is better to be fully prepared and face them calmly."

"Your destiny is in your own hands..." Chu Peipei muttered these words, and suddenly she felt enlightened.

Yes, if the temperature continues to rise, will I just lie at home, waiting for the fuel to run out and die of heat?

"Nannan, you are right. Instead of praying for God's grace, it is better to prepare yourself! When the enemy comes, we will stop him with our troops and when the water comes, we will block it with earth. I will go and find a way to get oil tomorrow!"

Annan couldn't help but sigh when he saw that she looked very excited.

As expected, doctors are all hard-working and studious people. Just a few words of advice will make them full of enthusiasm.

She looked at Chu Peipei and asked, "What are you going to do with the oil?"

Chu Peipei: "Wait until it gets cooler at night, I'll go to the gas station to check."

Annan: ...
