Chapter 173 Waiting, the temperature is getting higher and higher
"Chen Que, have you noticed that the nights are getting longer?" Meng Ci asked in a low voice.
Shen Que nodded.
Because of the extreme heat, it usually gets dark around 8pm in the evening, but the sky gradually gets brighter around 4am the next day.
These days, the sky starts to get dark around six o'clock, and it's only after seven o'clock the next day that there are signs of light.
As time goes by, the darkness will only get longer and longer.
Then, the polar night began.
Under the cover of night, dangers lurk everywhere.
By then, I'm afraid many people will take advantage of the night to do things that they cannot do during the day.
At around ten o'clock in the evening, Meng Ci heard people talking louder and louder, and thought they were starting to go out to work.
“Ouch, ouch!”
The eggplant, which was lying leisurely on the ground, heard some sound and suddenly got up and cried loudly.
Meng Ci and Shen Que picked up the long knives on the ground and stood up with a roll.
All I saw was the back of a man running away quickly.
Bah, coward.
Several people who lived nearby saw the long knife in Meng Ci's hand and left with flashlights in hand.
Meng Ci looked around and made sure there were no other dangerous people, then he and Shen Que sat down again and took out a sausage from the space and fed it to Eggplant.
"Eggplant, I'm sorry to bother you these few days!"
"Watch the surroundings for us, and we'll feed you something delicious when this is all over." Meng Ci whispered.
When Eggplant heard this, he nodded quickly.
Those who go out to work do not have to worry about their homes being robbed.
Nowadays, the most important thing for everyone is the points card. You can just use the card to exchange for whatever you need.
Similar to food, only two or three days' worth of food is exchanged at a time.
Even when they go out to work, they still carry a pound or half a pound of food on their backs.
As for what can be left, they are all of little use.
In just an hour, there was no sound in the park.
Meng Ci and Shen Que slept too much during the day and now they were not sleepy, so they took out their mobile phones to play games.
This time, the two of them turned on Bluetooth and played "Minecraft" online in adventure mode.
Each person has a shovel, a sword, and many torches in his backpack, and then starts mining mode.
Shen Que found that this game was quite magical. Although he didn't like playing games, he could play it for four or five hours with Meng Ci.
And sometimes zombies suddenly appear, which can be terrifying if you are not careful.
When it was past five o'clock and other residents were about to return, Meng Ci took out a few servings of eggplant rice from the space, ate them quickly, threw the garbage into the space, and then lay down in the tent.
The tent is a deluxe family version, and there is still plenty of space left after two people and a dog lie down in it.
But the only drawback is that the tent is too tightly sealed and the two of us felt very hot.
Meng Ci took out a fan from the space. This fan was pre-charged. When I bought it, it said that it could be used for ten days after a single charge.
Meng Ci didn't care about these at all. The most important thing was that it could blow cool air.
Meng Ci took two fans and planned to blow them towards the left and right.
But the temperature is not high now, so Meng Ci only opened one.
As the residents gradually returned, the temperature slowly rose, so Meng Ci turned on another fan.
By noon, the cooling air from the two fans was no longer very effective.
Meng Ci stood up and took a thermometer, opened the tent and placed it outside to measure the temperature.
Watching the temperature count slowly rise, Meng Ci widened his eyes!
Oh my god, the temperature has reached 58.6 degrees and is still rising.
Meng Ci directly took two basins, filled them with snow from the space, and placed them in front of the fan, which made it much cooler.
However, the snow melted too quickly, so Meng Ci took out two more ice cubes and put them in the basin.
"My God, why is the weather getting hotter and hotter? Is this going to make us live?"
"Bang."
The man who was speaking was probably annoyed by the heat and threw something in his hand to the ground.
"If you're angry, just be angry. Why are you throwing things?" A female voice was heard by several people.
"It's so hot now, the water in the M River is almost gone."
"This is the water I brought back and it has been sitting for several days before I can drink it."
"Water is so scarce right now, and you're throwing it away."
The woman felt more and more aggrieved as she spoke, and her voice was filled with tears.
"If you don't want to drink it, give it to me!"
“Woo woo woo!”
The man also realized that he had made a mistake, and there were two slaps on the face.
"Xiaoqing, don't cry."
"I was wrong, I was wrong!"
"I'll bring back a bucket of water in a minute."
Then came the voices of people comforting each other.
"Xiaoqing, don't be angry. The more tears you shed, the more dehydrated you will be."
"That's right. That's right."
"If it doesn't work, hit him twice."
…
Meng Ci no longer cared about what was happening outside, but took out three ice creams from the space.
Each of them took one and took a big bite.
Comfortable!
"Hiss, this ice cream melts so quickly." Meng Ci licked the ice cream and said in a low voice.
Shen Que watched Meng Ci licking the ice cream, his eyes darkened, and he felt his mouth dry.
Feeling water dripping on his fingers, Shen Que lowered his eyes and finished the ice cream in two bites.
After Eggplant finished eating the ice cream, he looked at the ice in the bowl beside him.
After seeing that its owner wasn't paying attention to it, Eggplant stuck out its tongue and licked the ice in the basin.
Well, this ice cube may have no taste, but it can still cool you down.
So Eggplant couldn't wait to lick it several times.
Meng Ci and his friends were staying in the closed tent and could feel the temperature rising.
Shen Que took the thermometer and reached outside the tent to measure the temperature again.
Only half an hour had passed since Meng Ci measured the temperature, and the temperature had already risen to 59.8 degrees.
Turning around and sitting down, Shen Que suddenly held Meng Ci's hand.
"The temperature is about to reach 60 degrees. An earthquake is going to happen soon."
Meng Ci nodded. Shen Que had said before that in the previous life, an earthquake occurred when the temperature rose to sixty degrees.
I already knew about this, so why did Shen Que say it again, Meng Ci wondered.
Then he looked at the wrist that was held by Chen Que, and saw that it was already sweating.
But Meng Ci felt Chen Que's hand was shaking. Although he didn't understand, Meng Ci thought, since Chen Que was afraid, let him hold it.
But Shen Que was not afraid of the earthquake at this time, but was afraid of what would happen if something happened to Meng Ci when the earthquake came.
We can use boats to escape floods and high temperatures, but we cannot avoid earthquakes.
Thinking of the earthquakes in my memory, the ground cracking, mountains collapsing, and buildings collapsing, what if the place they are staying is unsafe?
What if the ground cracks and two people fall down?
What if it was Meng Ci, what if something unexpected happened!
Shen Que was terrified whenever he thought about the possibility of losing Meng Ci.
