Chapter 193 New Teammate: Song Qianyi
The restless human was slapped on the head.
The restless kitten had his ears covered by his mother.
"Be good, we won't listen to her nonsense and incomprehensible language." Tan Zhaozhao touched the kitten's head with heartache.
"Meow~" The kitten with its ears covered squinted its beautiful eyes and admired the angry look of the hateful human.
After coaxing the cub in his arms, Tan Zhaozhao couldn't help but use his elbow to nudge his annoying friend. He gritted his teeth and whispered, "You know Xingxing is slow to grow. Doctor Bai told me to give it more nutrition, but you're still fanning the flames. If it doesn't eat to lose weight, I'll withhold food from you and your cat!"
This threat is undoubtedly very deterrent.
Li Shan pursed her lips resignedly, "Okay, I was just joking. It's my fault for being so carefree every day. I feel unbalanced just looking at it. I should send it to a cat kindergarten, umm..."
Tan Zhaozhao quickly covered her mouth with his hands and glared at her angrily and amusedly, "Stop talking. If you keep talking, you will have to stand guard with one eye open at night!"
Xingxing licked his half-extended paw, then obediently shrank back into his mother's arms, continuing to be a carefree and carefree kitten.
After lunch, when the sun was at its brightest, Xingxing originally lay on a soft stool to bask in the sun, but for some reason, it always felt that the sun today was a little... hot?
The kitten turned over and sat up in confusion, squinting at the large patch of warm sunshine pouring in through the window. After meowing, it stretched out its paw to feel it.
"It seems to be getting warmer?" It asked puzzledly to Qiuqiu, who was also lying next to it basking in the sun.
Qiuqiu sensed it and said confidently: "Yes, the temperature is 3℃ higher than when we were lying here just now."
Star:"……"
The kitten jumped off the stool lightly, chased a few cats that were licking each other's fur and butts on the carpet next to it to a shady place with its paws, and then ran to find its mother while meowing.
Tan Zhaozhao was busy covering the inside and outside of the bedroom with thick things when he suddenly heard Xingxing's meow, which was not in a hurry but obviously had something to say. He immediately put down the work in his hands and followed the kitten, who was slightly bigger than Nuzi, back to the living room.
Xingxing jumped and tapped the pet communication button.
"Mom~"
"hot!"
"hot!"
"hot!"
Press hot three times.
Tan Zhaozhao reached out and held down the kitten's paw, then tilted his head to look at the increasingly hot and dazzling sunlight outside the window, his expression much more serious and solemn than before.
"It's getting warmer." She said softly, patted Xingxing's head, and said softly, "Mom knows. Thank you Xingxing for reminding me. If it's hot, go to a place without the sun to hide. Mom will turn on the air conditioner for you, okay?"
"Meow~"
Tan Zhaozhao got up and fiddled with turning on the air conditioner in the room. He took Li Shan's cats to a place without the sun and opened a can for each of them before getting up and continuing to work.
Xingxing followed closely behind her mother. Even though she couldn't help in any way, she still kept herself busy and meowed.
After there was almost no sunlight entering the whole room except through the vents, the air conditioner in the room began to hum softly, and the room became several degrees cooler than before.
Tan Zhaozhao stopped to drink a glass of water, opened the curtains and looked at the sparkling water outside which was particularly dazzling under the sunlight, and his brows slowly frowned.
The water has receded a little in the past two days, but not much.
If the temperature starts to rise now, the accumulated water will not recede and it will be difficult for the people who have been evacuated to return, making this city uninhabitable in the short term.
Although it is not a bad thing for her, it will definitely cause great trouble to other regions that receive these people.
Disasters occur frequently around the world and everyone is in danger. No one is willing to accept an entire city and the survivors in the surrounding areas. Even if they know that the government will control and subsidize them, they will still feel angry that their rights are being infringed.
It's human nature and it's unavoidable.
In addition, it is difficult for people in the resettlement sites to return to their own places to live, and it is not known whether the buildings will become dangerous after being soaked in water for so long...
Just as Tan Zhaozhao was thinking about this, there was a knock on the door behind him.
Tan Zhaozhao glanced at the star and found that it didn't have any frizzy airplane ears or anything like that, so he walked over and asked behind the door, "Who is it?"
"It's me, Tang Jin." Tang Jin outside the door put down his hand that was knocking on the door.
Tan Zhaozhao opened the door, but when she saw who was outside, her eyes were completely fixed on the person next to Tang Jin.
“…”
She frowned and looked at the other person without saying anything.
Tang Jin touched the tip of his nose, coughed lightly and introduced: "Um, this is the teammate who just transferred here, her name is Song Qianyi, and she happened to live next door to you before."
Then, he introduced Tan Zhaozhao to Song Qianyi.
Xingxing squatted at her mother's feet, raised her round head and looked at the human protagonist curiously.
"Hello." Tan Zhaozhao was the first to nod towards the reborn person.
Song Qianyi didn't know that Tan Zhaozhao and Li Shan had reported her, so she just nodded with a cold face.
She seemed very tired and exhausted, unlike when they first met. Even when she was trying to cover up her expression, her eyes still showed sharp cruelty and murderous intent. But now, the thorns on her body seemed to have been smoothed out a lot, and even her eyes had become a little numb.
Song Qianyi had no intention of socializing. After perfunctorily greeting Tan Zhaozhao, she looked up at Tang Jin indifferently and asked, "Where do I live?"
"17th floor." Tang Jin quickly replied, "Living with our two female team members."
Whether it was Song Qianyi or Tan Zhaozhao, they could hear the undisguised meaning in his words.
Song Qianyi curled the corners of her mouth and stopped talking.
The three of them stood face to face quietly at the door of Tan Zhaozhao for a while in an awkward manner. Everyone thought they should go back to their homes, but Song Qianyi lowered her eyes and saw a small ball squatting obediently at Tan Zhaozhao's feet.
Her gaze remained fixed on the stars for a long time.
It took so long that Tan Zhaozhao frowned and was about to ask her what she was looking at, then Song Qianyi said calmly: "In such a difficult time, people outside can't even save their lives, but you can still take care of this cat so well."
No one could tell whether her words were sarcasm or emotion.
Tan Zhaozhao frowned, then quickly relaxed, chuckled and replied softly, "Yes, after all, it's just me and it at home. Even if I starve to death, I would rather let it eat my flesh and continue to live."
This time it was Song Qianyi's turn to frown.
She glanced strangely at Tan Zhaozhao, who looked calm and gentle, and without saying anything else, turned around and walked downstairs.
After her footsteps completely disappeared, Tang Jin whispered to Tan Zhaozhao, "We have been assigned by the higher-ups to take good care of her. She doesn't live here on a daily basis. She mostly goes on missions with another team. No one has exposed your past, so don't worry."
The implication is that they don't interfere with each other and just recognize each other.
Tan Zhaozhao nodded and said nothing, but she knew in her heart why Song Qianyi came back here.
After all, in this new life, this is the only place that Song Qianyi considers to be safe.
So this time, Song Qianyi must have paid a lot of price to get back, otherwise there wouldn't be restrained envy and even vague jealousy in the look he gave her and the cat just now.
Having lived her life over again, Song Qianyi cherishes her life more than anyone else, and this place is the "doomsday safe house" that she chose after much consideration. At least before she died in the snowstorm, this place is absolutely safe.
After closing the door, Tan Zhaozhao lowered his head and looked at Xingxing who was tilting his little head up at his feet.
After a moment, she couldn't help but curl her eyebrows, squatted down, held the child in her palms and picked him up.
"Baby, do you want to go out and play with mommy?" she asked gently, and before Xingxing could answer, she explained, "The temperature isn't too high yet, so we can take a boat to a farther place."
Except for going out once on a rainy day, Xingxing never left the building after Doomsday.
Tan Zhaozhao was afraid that the kitten's desire to explore the world would gradually disappear.
Fear of the stars can lead to stereotyped depressive behavior.
She didn't know how to raise a kitten, let alone a child, so she could only try her best to bring Xingxing all the good things she thought.
In response to her mother's sudden question, Xingxing shook her head, got down from her mother's arms, ran to the button and pressed it:
"not good."
Tan Zhaozhao followed and asked it, "Why don't you go? Is it because Xingxing doesn't like going out, or is it because she is worried that she and her mother will encounter danger?"
Xingxing tilted her head and looked at her mother. After a while, she walked to the buttons with her short legs and selected one:
"Mom~"
Tan Zhaozhao got a not-so-surprising answer from the kitten.
Her heart seemed to be pressed by the kitten's claw. It didn't hurt or itch, but there was an indescribable sourness.
Tan Zhaozhao suppressed the surging emotions in his heart, stood up and covered his slightly red eyes, and said in a muffled voice: "Okay, then we will all play at home. How about eating jelly tonight? Can kittens eat jelly? I'll ask Shanshan later..."
Xingxing squatted beside the button, watching her mother muttering as she walked towards the kitchen, and raised her paw in a daze.
People? You left?
Won't you hug me?
The kitten didn't understand, so it stretched out its short legs and tried hard to keep up with its mother's feet.
-
The change in rising temperatures is obvious.
The most obvious thing is that on the second day of the high temperature, the team members stayed in their homes from ten in the morning to eight in the evening and did not go out.
"I just went out and tried it. I was under the sun for less than half a minute and I felt like my hair was about to be on fire. If you don't believe me, come and touch it. My scalp is still hot..." Li Shan said as she lowered her head and let Tan Zhaozhao touch the hair that was still warm on her head.
Tan Zhaozhao refused to be touched and handed her a glass of honey water with ice cubes.
"The conditions in the resettlement site are not that good. With so many people staying together, it's hot enough even without the sun. If we don't evacuate them before the temperature rises completely, there will be a lot of trouble soon."
Chen Yi was also holding a glass of honey water with ice cubes, looking worried.
Song Qianyi, who was attending the party for the first time, was indifferent when she heard the words. She stared at the water cup in her hand as if she was in a daze.
Bai Yichen sat upright and told a horror story calmly: "The temperature is getting higher and higher. If we don't provide more effective ways to cool people down, heat stroke will soon kill them. Given the current situation, once they get sick, they can only wait to die. The people who die the fastest are the elderly and children with low immunity."
As a joke, the sick, disabled, pregnant, elderly, and children who need to be given up their seats on the bus are at high risk of all diseases, and are the most vulnerable group in need of help and care in the doomsday.
