This flood affected half the globe.
Although no official statistics exist, tens of thousands of people died directly in the floods. Of course, this death toll is insignificant on Earth today.
Because tens of thousands of babies were born this year as well.
Of course, the vast majority of these babies were born to mothers who were forced into childbirth, and these children could only pray that the natural disaster would pass quickly, otherwise they would only become new food.
In this world today, cannibalism is no longer a taboo.
However, human prayers are destined to be of little use.
"The water flow is decreasing, and this flood is estimated to be caused by the melting of the ice."
Qin Chuchu was happily talking as she monitored the outside world using satellites.
Meanwhile, Liu Shiyun and Xu Wanru put all the blankets away.
Even with air conditioning, they still sweated a bit from the heat.
Sweat soaks into their clothes, making their skin underneath barely visible.
None of them were wearing underwear.
Xia Muge felt her temper rising again.
As the temperature rises, even people's bodies become hot.
Xia Muge suppressed his impulse, then heard Qin Chuchu say, "Don't be too happy yet, the temperature will continue to rise."
"The reason for the reduced water flow is that it has evaporated."
"Evaporation?" Upon hearing this, Qin Chuchu immediately used a satellite to detect the ground temperature.
Sure enough, the temperature continued to rise.
Qin Chuchu's voice couldn't help but reveal a hint of shock.
"That means..."
"The apocalypse is not over yet," Xia Muge added.
A look of despair appeared on Qin Chuchu's face.
However, at this point, she was already much better off than someone who was truly desperate.
She still has air conditioning, and she still has food and drink.
When others realized how hot it was, they rushed to grab water.
Even floods contaminated with corpses and containing many harmful substances, they still fought for them.
Because people realized that if the temperature rise continued for another year, they would all be doomed.
Ice can survive by eating its own kind, but what about high temperatures?
Do we have to drink urine?
At this moment, He Ran also noticed people's actions.
He was carrying the bucket, about to leave.
At this moment, Zhang Zihao couldn't help but ask, "What are you doing?"
"Fetch water! The temperature is so high now. If this heatwave continues for a year, we'll definitely run out of water."
The current water supply system is long gone.
It has become the norm for people not to shower or wash their faces.
When the wind is cold, one can endure hunger, but can one endure not drinking water now?
Zhang Zihao said confidently, "Don't worry, with me here, there will definitely be no shortage of water. In fact, I can make sure you have purified water every day."
"You have no problem washing your face and taking a shower every day."
Zhang Zihao's words left He Ran with mixed feelings of belief and doubt.
But thinking that no one would joke about risking their life, he nodded and said, "I understand."
He Ran took a bottle of water and saw that Zhang Zihao didn't show any signs of heartache, so he was certain that Zhang Zihao still had a lot of resources.
He must have hidden these resources in safe places.
His eyes narrowed slightly, and his gaze flickered.
In fact, He Ran wasn't a good person before the apocalypse. Good people don't survive the apocalypse.
He was known for his aggressive and ruthless nature even among the wealthy second-generation.
For He Ran, fighting for women or saving face was commonplace. And after the apocalypse, he killed even more people.
Now, Zhang Zihao is a suitable target for him.
But now is not the time.
He must become Zhang Zihao's friend before he uncovers all his secrets.
…
…
It's hot, extremely hot.
Xia Muge looked through the binoculars and saw many people sweating profusely, some even without clothes on, and he couldn't help but cover his eyes.
"From now on, don't look out the window unless it's an eyesore."
It's quite normal for the people outside the window to be barely clothed.
In the year of the apocalypse, morality collapsed and society crumbled.
One cannot expect people living in the apocalypse to have a normal sense of morality and shame.
People with a sense of morality cannot eat corpses and will be eliminated.
People with a sense of shame will also be eliminated.
People all over the world are the same; right now, Qin Chuchu and others are probably the people with the most clothes in the world.
Qin Chuchu instinctively tried to look outside, but Xia Muge immediately covered her eyes.
She said with some concern, "Won't our air conditioner running outside attract other people?"
The outside temperature is already over fifty degrees Celsius.
Even air conditioners are now running at full capacity.
At a time like this, if outsiders saw that such a place still existed, they would definitely rush in without saying a word.
Xia Muge said calmly, "It's alright, they can't get through."
He has full confidence in the high temperatures.
High temperatures can also kill people, especially at temperatures like this, which can directly cause dehydration and death.
…
…
Qin Chuchu's worries have become a reality.
While searching for water, someone found the villa area.
Seeing that Xia Muge's villa's outdoor air conditioning unit was running, they gathered around it.
There were six people in this group.
At this point, no one dares to be alone; those who are alone are basically eaten.
"Old Li, look, it's an air conditioner."
