"When we came, the weather was still cool, but now it's hot and stuffy, with no wind at all."
Han Yang looked at the oven not far behind him:
"Could it be because I was too close to the stove?"
Su Liuyuan shook his head: "I also feel the temperature rising."
"We have all experienced extreme heat and can feel the heat. I estimate it's at least 40 or 50 degrees Celsius now."
Jiang Zhengkang suggested: "Then let's not eat outside. Divide the remaining skewers and take them home to eat. Otherwise, we will get heatstroke and it will be troublesome."
"I'll go get the lunch box."
Jiang Fei went back to 102 and got some lunch boxes.
After distributing the skewers to everyone, he asked Lu Yu and Su Liuyuan to take away the dishes and chopsticks on the table first.
After Jiang Zhengkang and the others left, Jiang Fei directly put the tables, chairs, and ovens into the supermarket warehouse.
After just walking for a while, Jiang Fei began to sweat.
It felt like entering a sauna, hot and humid.
Back at Room 102, Xiao Chuxia and her three working colleagues had already gone upstairs.
Lu Yugang turned on the air conditioner.
When the rescue team was repairing the house, they reinstalled air conditioners in the residential building and provided insect-proof protection for the external chassis and pipes.
While the temperature in the house was still high, Jiang Fei took a look at the thermometer by the window.
A temperature of 46°C and a humidity of 80% are both beyond the human comfort range.
"It seems the new natural disaster is still related to the temperature."
"Maybe this isn't a natural disaster." Lu Yu picked up the calendar on the table.
"It's early August, the dog days of summer, the heat of the day."
Jiang Fei was stunned.
Four years into the apocalypse, she had almost forgotten what normal weather was like.
"If no natural disasters occur in the future, does that mean the apocalypse is over?"
Lu Yu: "I'm not sure. It depends on whether the temperature continues to rise."
"The authorities should issue a notice regarding the temperature. We should pay attention to the horns outside in the next two days."
As Lu Yu expected, the official broadcast sounded on the third day of the high temperature.
"Good morning, everyone. It's a sauna day now. Please drink plenty of water and avoid going out at noon. Be careful of heatstroke."
"The official store will sell summer-heat-relief tea today. Residents in need can go and buy it."
The weather is hot, so residents who go out basically walk along the shady walls.
Jiang Fei could hear the complaints coming from outside even at home.
"It wasn't long after the tornado and lightning strike, and now we have this high temperature weather. Will God let us live in peace for a few days? Will we die?"
"I just took a shower this morning and now I'm all sticky again."
"Don't mention it. I haven't used the pants underneath for the past few days. After using the toilet, I have to pull off the toilet seat. It's so hot that it sticks to my butt."
"The sauna days were even more unbearable than the extreme heat of the past two years. I never thought I would sweat so much."
Residents complained about the weather.
Jiang Fei was thinking about something else.
It has been two months since she returned to the base, but she hasn't even collected five kilograms of gold.
There is basically no gold left in the country.
To unlock the tenth floor, you can only try your luck abroad.
If I stay in the base any longer, I’m afraid I won’t be able to unlock new areas until the day I die.
Remembering that she still had a teleportation talisman that could take her directly to Antarctica, Jiang Fei told Lu Yu her idea.
Lu Yu had no objection to this.
"Wherever you go, I'll go."
"But there's only one teleportation talisman. We'll have to fly back from Antarctica. I'll draw a route map tonight..."
Boom boom boom——
A knock on the door interrupted Lu Yu's words.
"Jiang girl, are you home?"
Hearing Director Ning's voice, Jiang Fei went to open the door.
Director Ning was sweating profusely. As soon as he entered the room, he drank all the water that Jiang Fei poured for him.
After recovering, he smiled kindly.
"How have you been lately?"
Jiang Fei was stunned by the question.
Looking at Director Ning suspiciously.
"Director, do you have something to talk to me about?"
"Actually, given our relationship, there's no need to be polite."
It's really hard to get used to.
"I'm a little embarrassed."
Director Ning cleared his throat:
"Since you asked, I won't beat around the bush."
"I want you freshman team to go on a mission."
"The natural disaster that occurred not long ago caused severe damage to the base. Coupled with the constant repairs, our supplies and energy have been significantly reduced."
"You've already been to the North Pole, so there's no need to worry about that."
"I hope you can lead a team to Antarctica."
"I will arrange for the staff and transportation for mining. You just need to collect your things and put them in your space."
"What a coincidence! I just told Lu Yu that we're going to Antarctica in a few days."
Jiang Fei told Director Ning that she wanted the gold.
Director Ning understood her meaning immediately and said:
"All the gold you mine will belong to you."
Jiang Fei's eyes lit up: "When do we leave?"
"Three days from now at eight o'clock in the morning, I'll have Xiao Ma drive over to pick you up."
—
Tuesday.
Jiang Fei, Lu Yu, and Xu Qianyao arrived outside the land base in Xiao Ma's car.
Eight large transport planes were parked on the open ground.
Official comrades were moving boxes onto the plane.
Director Ning was standing not far away, chatting with Yan Tianjie and Zhu Xiaowu.
The leader was busy with the base's affairs and could not get away, so he only asked Director Ning to see him off.
Seeing Jiang Fei and the other two coming, Director Ning smiled and waved to let them come over.
"Jiang girl, your freshman team will take that plane later."
"There are instant meals and drinking water on the plane. You can get by for two days."
"When we get to Antarctica, the chef I'll arrange for you will prepare hot meals for you."
Director Ning whispered to Jiang Fei:
"I've just told my comrades that your boss will be responsible for transporting the ore resources. They don't need to worry about it. Just do what you say."
"The base can only last for eight months at most. The sooner you go, the sooner you can return."
Jiang Fei lowered his voice and said, "If the task is not completed in more than half a year, I will use the teleportation talisman to come back first."
"good."
Director Ning returned to his normal voice and said, "You guys go sit on the plane for a while. We'll leave later once the comrades finish moving the supplies."
Jiang Fei and Lu Yu walked towards the plane that Director Ning had just pointed at.
Xu Qianyao was about to follow when he was stopped by Director Ning.
"I have something to tell you."
