“No need to tie him up anymore. He can’t survive being chopped like this. Leaving him here serves as a warning to anyone who wants to break in,” Xu Lin said.
After reinforcing the security door and cleaning up the bloodstains at the entrance, everyone went home to continue sleeping. This wasn't the first time someone had been attacked, so they were used to it.
Xu Lin woke up the next morning because of the heat. She was covered with a down comforter and a thick mattress. The room was heated by the underfloor heating and a stove. The thermometer on the wall showed 20 degrees Celsius.
I got up, opened the window, and stuck the thermometer out. It showed 0°C. The temperature is rising a bit too fast.
"Linlin, are you awake?" Ever since they became boyfriend and girlfriend, Zhou Pin has been calling Xu Lin "Linlin".
"I'm awake. It's 0°C outside."
"Yes, it might suddenly get hot in the next couple of days, so we need to be careful. Come over for dinner."
Breakfast consisted of Xu Lin's favorite foods: mochi, fried dough sticks, and soy milk, along with a steamer of xiaolongbao (soup dumplings).
"You actually lied to me about not knowing how to make dumplings!" Xu Lin said angrily while eating a fried dough stick.
"I didn't know how to wrap them before, but I've learned now." Zhou Pin said without batting an eye.
After breakfast, the two of them went to 601 together. The training location is now set in 601. The living room is very spacious because everything that can be burned has been burned.
"It's very hot today. I woke up feeling hot this morning."
"Yes, it feels so refreshing to take off this cotton-padded coat."
"The apocalypse is about to end, the sun is already rising."
As soon as they met, they started discussing the weather.
"Xu Lin, what do you think?" Wang Jing enjoyed chatting with Xu Lin. They were about the same age, got along well, and Xu Lin's predictions always came true.
"When it was cold before, the temperature suddenly dropped. Now it might suddenly get hot. Everyone should be aware that the temperature may suddenly rise in the next couple of days."
"That's great. With the temperature rising, I won't have to wear so many layers. Washing my hands and face every day is freezing, and the water freezes easily. I can't use face masks or wash my clothes. I've accumulated a lot of underwear. Luckily, I bought a lot of disposable underwear beforehand."
"Warming is not that simple. You see, the temperature can suddenly drop to tens of degrees below zero, and the temperature can also rise to tens of degrees above zero."
"My God! Is this some kind of living hell?!"
"Right now, it's all ice outside. Once the temperature rises, the ice will melt, the moisture will gradually evaporate, and various bacteria and viruses may cause epidemics. Moreover, snakes, insects, and rodents in the soil may crawl up the sewers. In short, high temperatures are more terrifying than extreme cold."
Everyone stopped chatting and, after hearing Xu Lin's explanation, their faces were filled with worry.
"Let's go home and seal up the sewers after training today. I'm terrified of rats," Li Jingjing said, rubbing her arms.
"But without cement, what can we use to seal it?"
"I still have some left over from when I was building the kang (heated brick bed). You can take it and use it."
"My family has one too."
Xu Lin and Zhou Pinpan did have some cement left over from the kang (heated brick bed), so it was perfect to bring it out for everyone to use now.
"You've built a kang (heated brick bed)! That's so farsighted! How did you come up with the idea of building a kang? It's not common to see kangs built in the city."
"I just heard from others that sleeping on a kang (heated brick bed) is warm, so I just thought of it on a whim, and I never expected it to come in handy."
Everyone turned to Zhou Pin.
"I saw her doing it, so I did too."
"I told you two were a couple! Zhou Pin has had his eye on Xu Lin for a long time!" Zheng Ming said in a tone that suggested he already knew.
"You think you're so great, knowing everything? But do you know you're about to get beaten up?" Wang Jing was a master at dealing with Zheng Ming.
"Hey, we're a couple, you should be on my side, why are you siding with outsiders?"
"Who's on your side? I'm on my friend's side! Humph!"
