"When we came here, the weather was still cool, but now it's hot and stuffy, with no wind at all."
Han Yang looked at the grill 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 are all people who have experienced extreme high temperatures and can feel the heat. I estimate that it is at least 40 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."
"I'll take the lunch box."
Jiang Fei brought a few lunch boxes from 102.
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 broke out in a light sweat.
It felt like entering a sauna, hot and humid.
When we got to room 102, Xiao Chuxia and her group of three had already gone upstairs.
Lu Yu just 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 had not dropped yet, Jiang Fei glanced at the thermometer by the window.
The temperature of 46℃ and the humidity of 80% are both beyond the human comfort range.
"It seems that the new natural disaster is still related to the temperature."
"It's possible that this is not a natural disaster." Lu Yu picked up the calendar that was used as a decoration on the table:
"It's early August, the dog days of summer, the hottest time of the year."
Jiang Fei was stunned.
It was the last four days of the month and she almost forgot about normal weather.
"If there are no natural disasters in the future, does that mean the end of the world?"
Lu Yu: "Not sure, it depends on whether the temperature will continue to rise."
"The authorities should issue a notice on the temperature. We should pay attention to the horns outside in the next two days."
As Lu Yu expected, the official health broadcast sounded on the third day of the high temperature.
"Good morning, residents. It is a sauna day now. Please drink plenty of water and avoid going out at noon. Be careful of heat stroke."
"The official store will sell cooling tea every day, and residents in need can go there to buy it."
When the weather is hot, residents who go out basically walk along the shady walls.
Jiang Fei could hear the complaints coming from outside even at home.
"It hasn't been long since the tornado and lightning strike, and now we have the high temperature weather. Will God let us live a few days of peace and tranquility? 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 inside 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."
"This sauna day was even more unbearable than the previous two days of extreme heat. I never thought I would sweat so much."
Residents are complaining about the weather.
What Jiang Fei wanted was something else.
She had been at the base for about two months, but she hadn't collected even a kilogram of gold.
There is not much gold left in the domestic infrastructure.
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 will go."
"But there is only one teleportation talisman. We will have to fly from Antarctica. I will draw a route map tonight..."
Boom boom boom——
A knock on the door interrupted Lu Yu's words.
"Jiang girl, are you home?"
Hearing the voice of Director Ning, Jiang Fei went over and opened the door.
Director Ning was sweating profusely. As soon as he entered the room, he drank up the water that Jiang Fei poured for him.
After he recovered, he showed a kind smile.
"How have you been lately?"
Jiang Fei was stunned by the question.
Looking at Director Ning suspiciously.
"Director, do you have something to ask me?"
"Actually, given our relationship, there's no need to be polite."
It's strange that it makes people uncomfortable.
"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 serious damage to the base. Coupled with the continuous repairs, our supplies and energy have been greatly 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 the mining personnel and transportation equipment. You just need to collect the 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:
"Mine the gold and it's all yours."
Jiang Fei's eyes lit up: "When do we leave?"
"Three days later at eight in the morning, I'll have Xiao Ma drive over to pick you up."
—
Tuesday.
Jiang Fei, Lu Yu, and Xu Qianyao came to the outside of the land base in a pony carriage.
Eight large transport planes were parked on the open ground.
The 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 base 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 pass.
"Jiang girl, your freshman team will take that plane later."
"There are fast food and drinking water on the plane. You can get by for two days."
"When we get to Antarctica, I'll arrange a chef for you and make hot meals for you."
Director Ning whispered to Jiang Fei:
"I have just told my comrades that your boss will be responsible for transporting the ore resources. They don't have to worry about it. Just do what you say."
"The base can only last for eight months at most. You guys should leave as soon as possible."
Jiang Fei lowered his voice and said, "If the task is not completed in more than half a day, I will use the teleportation talisman to come here first."
"good."
Director Ning resumed his normal voice: "You guys stay on the plane for a while, we will leave later after the comrades finish moving the supplies."
Jiang Fei and Lu Yu walked towards the plane that Director Ning had just pointed out.
Xu Qianyao was about to follow Guo Xian when he was stopped by Director Ning.
"I have something to tell you."
