As night falls, the warm yellow nightlight casts a halo of light in front of me.
The room was completely silent, separated by thick tempered glass.
Su Li was doing a plank on a yoga mat. She had changed into a sports vest suitable for exercise, and sweat dripped down her neck onto the yoga mat.
Before Su Li even started doing the plank, Xuan Qing had already squatted down in front of her, watching curiously.
After a while, he got up and walked around her twice, then, bored, ran back to the sofa and lay down on his side to continue watching Su Li's movements.
Five minutes and twelve seconds later, the arm supporting her body suddenly went limp, and Su Li collapsed to the ground, panting heavily.
A few seconds later, she rolled over, lying on her back breathing heavily, and reached for the timer next to her to check the time.
I lasted more than twenty seconds longer than the previous two days, so there's still progress!
Xuanqing, who was lazily lying on the sofa watching Su Li's movements, suddenly stopped swishing his tail and looked away after seeing how she turned over!
The black cat suddenly stood up, its back to the girl lying on the ground, her chest heaving and panting heavily.
His pink little tongue couldn't help but lick his lips, feeling that his mouth was a little dry.
Just as he was about to turn around and ask Su Li for water, he suddenly shut his mouth again when he saw the girl's exquisite curves and her delicate neck, which was still damp from exercising!
Really!
The mortals of this world don't understand... they don't understand how to be subtle.
Is it to avoid suspicion?
Even though he's a cat, he's still a male!
How could she let him see her acting like a delicate, sheltered young lady so openly...? That would mean... taking responsibility...
With his heart pounding so hard he couldn't calm it down, Xuan Qing jumped off the sofa in frustration, ran around it once, and then scratched a white wooden table in the corner a few times. He didn't even notice Su Li looking up at him with a puzzled expression!
Where Su Li couldn't see, those deep blue cat eyes closed tightly twice, as if to catch their breath, before opening again.
But at this moment, the emotion in those eyes was filled with even more possessiveness!
At this moment, Su Li stared blankly for two seconds at the black cat's usual sudden outburst of madness, then calmly withdrew her gaze and continued to slowly calm her breathing.
At this moment, the night outside the window was getting deeper.
Even though she couldn't hear anything outside through the thick tempered glass, Su Li, as a superhuman with evolved abilities, could still sense the restlessness of the mutated creatures outside the window.
She sat up, wiped her sweat with a towel, and the moment she finished wiping away the sweat, the heat on her skin evaporated instantly, releasing a cool sensation that made her shiver!
A chill!?
Su Li paused in wiping her sweat and couldn't help but turn her head to look towards the window!
Why is it chilly?
The weather has been unbearably hot lately, with temperatures continuing to rise. It's not uncommon for daytime temperatures to reach over 50 degrees Celsius.
Even at night, the temperature remains high, with a minimum of 35 degrees Celsius!
This is why, despite being worried about being bitten by zombies, they still had to run around in short sleeves and vests!
But why does she feel cold now, even shivering from the cold?
Could it be...?
Thinking of this, Su Li immediately turned to look at Xuan Qing and asked, "Xuan Qing, have you felt the weather getting colder?"
Xuan Qing was stunned. He hadn't dared to turn around before, but in the next second he immediately turned around to look at him.
He took two steps forward, as if sensing the temperature, and then replied, "It's much cooler tonight than yesterday, I'm very comfortable, but it got cold very quickly today!"
Just as I thought!
While listening, Su Li took out a thermometer from her spatial storage.
After she placed the thermometer on the ground by the window, I went to check again after a while and saw that the red line on the thermometer was at 21 degrees Celsius!
The temperature wasn't low, but it dropped rapidly by more than twenty degrees!
The cooling-off period from the original book has arrived!
This is something even more terrifying than the heatwave!
The global temperature drop is unavoidable everywhere! The lowest temperatures will drop to below -70 degrees Celsius, and you must keep a heat source nearby at all times to avoid freezing!
Those humans who had survived by staying at home were now forced to leave their homes in search of materials for warmth.
But in the extreme cold, with its frigid temperatures, zombies everywhere, and mutated creatures that have evolved and are hiding in the shadows, the process of collecting firewood becomes especially difficult!
Thinking of this, Su Li frowned involuntarily.
According to the book, the temperature changes from 50 or 60 degrees Celsius to minus 70 degrees Celsius within a month!
The official base in Tongcheng was established a month and a half after the apocalypse. If they didn't plan to enter the base by then, they would have to store enough fuel to last for at least six months without leaving the building!
They still have at least two weeks to collect firewood, coal, and gasoline!
Su Li sat down on the sofa and put on a thin shirt.
Just then, Xu Xiaojie, who was on duty for the second shift, came out of the room.
She touched her arm, her brows furrowed slightly, and asked softly when she saw Su Li, "Has it gotten colder? I feel a bit chilly."
Su Li nodded: "It's dropped by more than 20 degrees. The temperature is 25 degrees now. The body may not be used to the sudden drop in temperature."
After saying this, Su Li pointed to a few pieces of clothing at the end of the sofa and said to Xu Xiaojie:
"These are everyone's clothes. When Sister Fang takes over, please tell her to put them away when everyone gets up tomorrow morning, so that everyone can change into them if they feel cold."
Xu Xiaojie looked in the direction Su Li was pointing, then nodded.
She went over and grabbed a shirt for herself, then turned back to look at Su Li, who was standing up while carrying Xuan Qing:
"Go to sleep, it's getting late!"
"good!"
Su Li responded, then carried Xuan Qing back to her room.
The moment they entered the room and locked the door, the figures of the person and the cat vanished from the room.
Inside the space, Xuanqing jumped onto the lush green grass, the warm sunlight shining on his body, and he couldn't help but stretch.
When he turned around, Su Li had already entered the villa. He quickly turned around and jumped over to catch up with her!
After a long day of running around and staying up all night, plus the 40 minutes of exercise she just did, Su Li is exhausted.
But she still managed to take a quick shower, change her clothes, and then collapsed onto the bed and fell asleep!
Xuan Qing, who was lying on the foot of the bed, waited quietly for Su Li's movements.
Only after she lay down on the bed and pulled the blanket over herself did he get up and slowly tiptoe over to her.
Then he found a spot in the crook of the girl's shoulder as she lay on her side, curled himself up into a ball, and closed his eyes in peace!
