Chapter 63 The temperature rises again
No one thought that they would meet the country's top leader under such circumstances.
It's a bit unexpected, but also reasonable.
At this moment, the audience was silent and everyone's eyes were focused on him.
Compared with the leader I saw on the news before, the one on the screen looked much older, with gray hair on his temples and a deep wrinkle between his eyebrows.
But even though his image is not as decent and glamorous as before the end of the world, his every word and action is full of power.
"First of all, I would like to wish you all a happy new year." The leader spoke slowly.
"However, on this festive day, I still want to tell you a piece of unfortunate news, that is, the earth on which we depend for survival has entered the doomsday era."
This sentence made the atmosphere at the scene solemn, however, the video continued.
Next, the leader began to talk about some new policies of the country. One can imagine how much effort the country has put in for these.
At this moment, this video is playing in countless corners.
Some people were talking in low voices, some had panic on their faces, some had confidence in the country on their faces, and there were also some bad apples who were leading the trend crazily, cursing God and blaming the government.
At the end of the video, the leader’s face was full of determination and his tone was firm.
"This is a catastrophe for all mankind. No one can avoid it. Although the days ahead will be difficult, I promise that China will not abandon any of its people. We will protect Chinese residents at all costs."
“I hope that everyone can unite as one and work together to overcome this difficult time.”
His resolute tone echoed in the air, every word full of determination and conviction.
Across the screen, Shi Jiaojiao clenched her fists, as if a force was surging in her heart.
The audience listened quietly, and many of them had red eyes.
"This bastard God, our Chinese nation has a 5,000-year-old civilization, I don't believe we can't defeat it!"
"Yes, man can conquer nature!"
"Persistence is victory. The country has not given up on us, and we cannot give up on ourselves."
Many people encouraged each other.
Of course, there are also many people who say discouraging words.
"Humanity is about to become extinct. Just lie down and wait for death."
"The country talks nicely about how no one will give up. In my opinion, the only ones who won't give up are the elites. They may have already got tickets to Noah's Ark."
Under normal circumstances, these words could still set the tone.
But now, everyone had just been encouraged by the big leader and was full of enthusiasm. As soon as these people finished speaking, they were rushed up and besieged by others.
After the video ended, the familiar Spring Festival overture sounded.
It’s the Spring Festival Gala!
Of course it can’t be a new arrangement, it is a collection of wonderful programs from previous years.
A rare smile gradually appeared on everyone's face.
The children were laughing and playing, they did not yet understand the meaning of the end of the world.
Parents did not restrict their children from playing.
As the song "Unforgettable Tonight" sounded, the troops began to organize discipline and distribute multi-grain cakes to everyone.
The multi-grain cakes are free, the only requirement is that you swipe your ID card on a machine.
This time, people are not allowed to collect on behalf of others. If your ID card is lost or you don’t have one, you need to go to the other side to register your information.
Wang Jia was a little curious, "I don't know what this multi-grain cake tastes like?"
Shi Jiaojiao glanced at her silently without discouraging her curiosity.
Soon it was the four people's turn. After registering their ID cards, each of them received two multi-grain cakes.
The multi-grain cakes are only the size of a palm and are individually plastic-wrapped.
Shi Jiaojiao noticed that the soldiers arrested several people after swiping their ID cards.
It seems that this is also a new policy introduced by the country.
"Why is this cake black?" Tang Wei had a bad expression on his face.
"Who cares what color it is? As long as it doesn't kill people, it's fine." Shi Jiaojiao responded.
Of course multi-grain cake is black, otherwise it would not have been called black cake in the previous life.
Moreover, when you don't know the raw materials of this kind of thing, even though it tastes bad, you can still swallow it. But once you get to the bottom of it, you will be the only one who collapses.
Tang Wei thought about it and realized the same thing, so he simply stopped worrying about it.
After returning home, Tang Wei couldn't resist his curiosity and directly tore open a package and took a bite.
His expression was a little indescribable, but the food was so precious that he didn't want to waste it, so he swallowed it with a frown.
Wang Jia asked curiously, "What does it smell like?"
Tang Wei simply broke off a few pieces from the places he hadn't bitten and shared them with the three of them.
"This is too harsh on my throat, and it's so dry." Wang Jia said, and quickly smoothed it out with the water at hand.
Tang Wei nodded. "It tastes strange, a little bitter and a little salty."
Shi Jiao swallowed the mouthful of multi-grain cake with an expressionless face.
She didn't know how much of this she had eaten in her previous life.
Tasting it again, I still feel a little nostalgic.
It’s still the familiar taste.
"Adapt to it as soon as possible. When our food is gone, we will have to rely on it to survive." Shi Jiaojiao said lightly.
Mu Ci was chewing the hard-to-swallow multi-grain cake in his mouth, but his eyes showed an expression of being accustomed to it.
It was obvious that this should have been her main food in her previous life.
Thinking of this, I felt a little sad.
Their curiosity was satisfied, so they didn't talk much and went home to rest early.
The next day, Shi Jiaojiao was woken up by the heat.
As soon as she opened her eyes, she felt something was wrong.
When I usually sleep, the air conditioner at home is turned on, so why is the temperature so high?
Shi Jiaojiao climbed out of bed, her pajamas sticking to her body, the bed sheet was soaked with sweat, her hair hung on her face in wisps, and her cheeks were red from the heat.
Every breath I exhaled felt like spitting fire, my throat was so dry and painful, and every time I swallowed it felt like I was swallowing a razor blade.
She quickly took out a bottle of ice water from the space, drank half of it in one breath, and then she felt much better.
Something is wrong. Something is very wrong.
The last time she was awakened by the heat was when the high temperature came suddenly.
Shi Jiaojiao's eyelids twitched wildly.
She checked the air conditioner first and found it was fine and running normally.
Then he immediately walked into the living room.
The moment she saw the thermometer, she even suspected that she was seeing things.
55℃!
Shi Jiaojiao couldn't believe her eyes.
The indoor temperature is so high now, the outdoor temperature must be at least 70℃.
What's going on?
The highest temperature in my previous life was 62℃, why did it suddenly change so much?
Mu Ci was sitting on the sofa with a heavy expression.
If humans can barely survive at 60℃, then at 70℃, they will probably die as soon as they go out.
At this moment, the almost silent owners’ group started to buzz.
