According to the Fenghai City Meteorological Observatory, the city will continue to experience high temperatures in the coming week, with a maximum temperature of 39.9 degrees Celsius. Citizens are advised to take precautions against heatstroke.
"Our city will remain under a red fire risk warning for the next week. Please be careful when using fire outdoors."
Looking at the two new text messages on his phone, Liu Kai finally believed one fact: he had been reborn...
He immediately scoffed, "The forecast temperature will never exceed 40 degrees Celsius, which makes perfect sense!"
He was wearing shorts and a vest, and seemed rather unaccustomed to the stuffy, hot air.
Even with the air conditioner set to a luxurious 16 degrees Celsius, I was still drenched in sweat.
I lay lazily on the sofa, feeling like my body was about to melt.
His gaze shifted to the refrigerator, and his right hand loosely clenched.
An old popsicle that was lying quietly in the refrigerator suddenly appeared out of thin air in his hand.
The popsicle entered his mouth, and the refreshing coolness went from head to toe, making him shiver involuntarily.
"Cool!"
This is the amazing ability that Liu Kai unexpectedly gained after confirming his rebirth:
Control the space!
Outside the window.
The setting sun hung over the mountaintop, its terrifying heat still scorching the earth like a furnace.
It is now 7 PM on April 29, 2043.
Whether it's a work group chat or a neighborhood residents' group chat, everyone is complaining about the high temperatures.
Some people even hoped for a miracle, that snow would fall in this southern city in May.
Liu Kai was scrolling through his phone, his expression momentarily dazed.
"In seven days, your wishes will come true, because the entire world will be frozen..."
However, this moment of disorientation was quickly replaced by a look of frantic hatred on his face.
He may never forget it.
He could never forget how the innocent-looking Lin Xiaorou found him and patiently persuaded him to join the "expedition" to find a new home.
I can't forget the way Lin Xiaorou nestled in the arms of the burly butcher and grinned maliciously after entering the so-called "expeditionary team".
What I can't forget is the blood-stained steel knife in the hands of that burly butcher.
Perhaps it had killed too many people; the blade was a bit dull and the body was a bit rusty.
I vividly remember the sound of the butcher tearing through my skin and trachea as he grabbed my hair and slashed across my neck!
Liu Kai's face was full of malice as he bit into the popsicle and smashed it.
"A bunch of scum who like to eat human flesh, huh? Just wait, I'll kill you all sooner or later!"
Filled with anger, he swung his right hand, and the ice cream stick in his hand instantly teleported two meters away.
With a "bang," it pierced the wall like a cannonball.
With the emergence of his special ability to control space, Liu Kai discovered that his physical abilities had also been greatly enhanced.
It can not only control objects and itself to achieve short-distance teleportation, but can also be used for storage.
The rules for the storage space are very simple: remote access and time stand still.
The inability to store live creatures is evidenced by the goldfish swimming on their backs in the fish tank:
It cannot be collected while he is alive; it can only be put into the space after he kills him with a stick.
Seeing this, Liu Kai secretly grumbled to himself:
Bacteria and viruses are also alive, which doesn't seem quite right...
None of that matters; what matters is the large space capacity.
He couldn't say exactly how big it was.
Ever since he discovered his spatial abilities, he has been frantically devouring the air outside the house.
Even though the air had been drawn out into a vortex, more than half an hour had passed and the storage space was still not full.
Liu Kai simply stopped trying and expelled all the air from the space, causing a scorching evening breeze to blow through the neighborhood.
"Ding ding dong~"
Just then, the phone rang.
Caller ID: Director Chen.
Liu Kai quickly composed himself, his face contorted in pain, as another memory surfaced in his mind.
At this time in his previous life, it was also this "Director Chen" who lived in the same neighborhood as him who called him.
Arrangements were made for fire prevention work in rural areas during the May Day holiday.
really.
The call connected, and a somewhat irritating bureaucratic tone came through.
"Xiao Liu, we've been assigned to go to Linhai Township on May 1st to carry out fire prevention work. I have some things to take care of at home, so you'll have to drive there yourself the day after tomorrow. Remember to sign in for me."
Hearing the clattering of mahjong tiles coming from the other end of the phone, he really wanted to ask his boss if "something's up" meant playing cards.
However, no abnormalities were observed.
He chuckled and replied, "No problem, Director Chen, but..."
The tone on the other end of the phone betrayed a hint of impatience: "But what?"
"Director Chen, I've run into some issues lately, and I'd like to request an advance on a year's salary and bonuses from my employer. What do you think..."
"Heh, no wonder you agreed to go to the countryside so readily. You were waiting for me here."
"I need your help urgently, boss!"
"You only have yourself to feed, so what urgent matter could you possibly have?"
"It's still about the dowry demanded by my blind date. I have no parents, so I can only rely on myself."
Liu Kai is usually quite honest and easy to bully.
Moreover, the tobacco bureau job is highly sought after, so there's absolutely no reason to suddenly resign.
Moreover, the advance payment of wages and bonuses is paid by the company, so Director Chen doesn't need to use his personal funds.
As a seasoned veteran in the workplace, he naturally did Liu Kai a favor.
"Okay, I'll have the finance department transfer the money to you tomorrow morning. You can bring the reimbursement documents for my signature after the May Day holiday."
"AUV! Thank you, boss! May you be blessed with wealth every night!"
Liu Kai hung up the phone in a good mood.
He had already planned to go to Linhai Township, not to mention that he had now successfully obtained a large sum of money.
The shamelessness in asking for money was, of course, for the sake of the global freeze a week later.
As a lonely man who is extremely insecure, his understanding of "security" is to hoard supplies!
