She walked out in the dark, took out a bottle of drink from the cabinet under the coffee table with ease, unscrewed the cap and took two sips.
The drinks were kept at room temperature, and even froze when they were cold, but now, they were warm in her hands.
Su Zhiruan looked at the indoor thermometer with a flashing red light showing thirty-five degrees and couldn't help but sigh.
The thick fog dissipated, and what followed was a long period of high temperature.
This stage lasts longer than the extreme cold blizzard and is more damaging. With the superposition of natural and man-made disasters, it is no exaggeration to say that it is hell on earth.
She frowned and took another sip of her drink.
After drinking, she gently pushed the door open and prepared to continue lying on the bed.
At this time, Su Zhiruan felt that the person next to him had also woken up.
"Did I wake you up?" She asked softly when she saw Wen Qingyu sitting up.
Wen Qingyu identified her location based on her voice. In the darkness, he accurately took Su Zhiruan's hand and said in a hoarse voice, "No, I was woken up by the heat."
"The temperature rises so quickly." Su Zhiruan sighed as he lay on the bed.
In extremely cold weather, they can just eat and drink at home, covered with thick quilts, and everything is fine except the cold.
But high temperatures are different.
In this situation, it is equally hot indoors and outdoors. The power supply system was paralyzed on a large scale due to the dense fog and has not yet recovered. There is no air conditioning or refrigerator indoors, and even food spoils faster.
In the scorching hot summer without air conditioning and ice cubes, ice water or ice cream, it is not easy to suffer all ten tortures.
What's worse is that 30 degrees is just the beginning! Su Zhiruan clearly remembers that by the time the temperature reached 40 or 50 degrees, it was commonplace. Countless people died on the spot from heat stroke, and even their internal organs were almost cooked after being outdoors for too long!
In this case, the person is doomed to die.
When combined with viruses and the like, it's like hell on earth.
What’s scary is that the high temperature will last for two and a half years!
From July last year to March this year, there was extreme cold and heavy snow. From March to June, there was thick fog. Now, it is July again, and the dog days of summer are about to begin.
The two of them lay flat on the bed, looking at the ceiling and sighing deeply.
"Oh, I can't sleep," Su Zhiruan tossed and turned, "I might have to go to work with dark circles under my eyes tomorrow."
"Let me fan you." Wen Qingyu took a magazine from the bedside, unfolded it and fanned her.
The accelerated wind blew on her face, mixed with a faint warm fragrance.
She closed her eyes and felt better.
Suddenly, Su Zhiruan seemed to have thought of something and opened his eyes again, "Why don't we go to the third floor."
"Um?"
"There's not much stuff on the third floor, and it's open from north to south," Su Zhiruan simply sat up, "There's also a fan and a power bank, it must be cooler than here!"
This was a good idea, so the two of them did it right away, carrying thin quilts and blankets and going up to the third floor.
The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!
The north and south windows were opened and the screens were lowered.
Take out the fan and power bank.
When the snow melted, Su Zhiruan stored a lot of water for daily use. Although they had taken a shower before going to bed, it was too hot and they sweated a lot, so they both took another quick shower.
After everything was ready, Su Zhiruan and Wen Qingyu lay side by side.
"It's much better now," Su Zhiruan felt the cool breeze from the fan, and chatted with the person beside him. "I really want to freeze time, otherwise when I wake up, it will be over 40 degrees Celsius again with the sun shining brightly."
"It's a bit difficult to freeze time," Wen Qingyu thought, his eyelashes flickering, "Why not take a day off tomorrow?" (End of this chapter)
