When global temperatures have generally reached 70°C, it also means the end of the heatwave.
Qin Chuchu observed via satellite that the high temperatures had melted all the glaciers, and the sea level had risen by approximately 66 meters.
This is a terrifying number.
Almost all coastal cities were turned into a vast expanse of water.
Many island nations have left no trace whatsoever.
Fortunately, Nanming City is located on the Yunnan-Guizhou Plateau, where sea level fluctuations will not affect it for the time being.
The news that sea levels had submerged many countries and cities naturally did not cause much of a stir; in fact, the survivors probably didn't even know it had happened.
The network is now completely paralyzed, so even Qin Chuchu can only observe the situation via satellite.
"When will this apocalypse finally end?"
At this moment, Qin Chuchu's eyes were filled with pessimism.
The air conditioner has stopped working completely.
The indoor temperature gradually rose, like a steamer.
The two kittens were jumping around so much they couldn't stand it anymore. They only calmed down when Xu Wanru brought a basin of water and the kittens voluntarily soaked in it.
The three girls, completely naked, disregarded everything else.
The curtains and everything else were already drawn, but it didn't make much difference.
Xu Wanru's eyes revealed a hint of worry: "In this hot weather, there must be heatstroke outbreaks. I wonder how many people have died from heatstroke."
Liu Shiyun went to Xia Muge's side and asked, "Strange, why is it so cool around you?"
Xia Muge casually remarked, "This is probably your excuse for wanting to get closer to me."
"What excuse? I'm serious, Sister Xu, come here."
But then he saw Xu Wanru also come over, and felt a chill spreading around Xia Muge.
"That's right. How did you manage that? Did you also stockpile saltpeter?"
Saltpeter absorbs heat and can be used to make ice when placed in water.
In such high temperatures, this will become even rarer than gold.
Xia Muge had actually prepared a batch of saltpeter, but not for his own use; he intended to send it to his parents.
He has spatial abilities, so it's very convenient for him to deliver things to his parents.
He paused for a moment and said, "That's not it, it's because I'm a bit special."
He can directly use ice-attribute abilities.
This is the reward the system gave him in the first world, which he inherited here.
This ability is actually still in its early stages and is somewhat lackluster. In combat, it's far inferior to spatial abilities, but I never expected it would be useful in the apocalypse.
When they saw ice condensing in Xia Mu's hand, the other women's eyes revealed a hint of surprise.
Then, the three of them looked at him with a kind of fright.
Xu Wanru: "Oh my, I didn't expect you to be so amazing. You must be tired. Let me give you a shoulder massage."
Liu Shiyun: "Yes, this kind of ability must be very tiring. Let me massage your legs."
Qin Chuchu looked down on these two sycophants.
However, she still quietly helped Xia Muge cut fruit.
After the ice was brought in, the three women's lives began to return to normal.
However, ice is not like an air conditioner; it cannot radiate throughout the entire villa.
So at night, all four of us slept in one room.
Of course, since they were all in the same room, it was inevitable that there would be lewd behavior.
Xia Muge felt a great emptiness during this period.
However, he was just suffering from kidney deficiency.
The rest of the people were completely exhausted.
…
…
High temperatures are more terrifying than severe cold.
Besides the terrifying heatstroke, the most important problem is that water is constantly evaporating.
In the bitter cold, one can still find food to fill their stomach, but in the sweltering heat, even water is scarce.
Perhaps in order to survive, almost everyone headed towards the sea.
If you can find a useful car, that would be the best.
If there is no car, many people will try to make a simple pair of roller skates.
After all, walking on two feet would be more tiring in situations like this.
It's not just people migrating towards the sea; even rats are doing so.
Animals that survive today generally possess very keen intuition.
They go wherever they can survive.
If there were drones taking aerial photos at this time, they would have seen these people carrying pitifully thin, dried-out flesh on their backs as they headed towards the sea.
Whether one makes it to the seaside or dies on the way is entirely up to fate.
This heatwave is destined to have a tragic ending.
Countless people collapsed along the way.
Only a very lucky few will be able to see the water.
Survival became their belief.
Of course, there must be quite a few people who think: death is a relief.
At this point, there is no difference between humans and ants.
However, after a lot of people die, it becomes a feast for rats.
Xia Muge couldn't help but sigh inwardly, "It's getting harder and harder."
Of course, he wouldn't find it difficult.
He just feels a soreness in his lower back.
…
…
While Xia Muge was still feeling sentimental, He Ran on the other side was even more puzzled by Zhang Zihao.
He really didn't know why Zhang Zihao had an almost endless supply of water.
The two of them washed their faces and took showers almost every day, and even in hot weather, they would shower three times a day.
Even so, the water was not used up.
Even the meat they eat every day is fresh.
It's common knowledge that eating rotten meat is now commonplace, while fresh meat is almost impossible to find.
