Time flies.
The temperature began to rise.
One day, when the temperature broke through the 40-point mark, everyone realized that an extremely hot period had arrived.
The scorching sun was like a knife.
Anyone walking outdoors will experience a burning, stinging pain in their skin from the sun.
Hopefully, the city suddenly fell silent again.
Apart from the people in the hundred houses, the rest of the residents of Hope City have come up with all sorts of creative ideas and started making their own cooling devices.
Some people hollow out all four walls of their homes, install awnings to block out the sun, and then fill the hollowed-out holes with fan blades, attempting to lower the temperature through continuous ventilation.
However, as the temperature rose, the air felt like it was enveloped in flames; even the wind was hot as it moved, and life didn't get any better.
Some people choose to live by the river, bringing river water into their homes and constantly washing their bodies with it to cool down.
However, after being exposed to the scorching sun, the water is scalding hot and needs to be stored indoors to cool down before it can be used, which is quite troublesome.
Others choose to dig cellars and live underground, using the thick earth as insulation. However, living underground is not well ventilated, and although the temperature is slightly lower, it is still very stuffy and uncomfortable.
Compared to these people, the hundred villas in Hope City are much better off. They have various cooling devices inside, and with the air conditioning on, life is much more comfortable.
Of course, if the air conditioner is turned up high, it will use a lot of electricity, and the city lord will charge for the electricity, and it won't be cheap. Before, it was only one contribution point per day, but now it is calculated by the kilowatt-hour, one contribution point per kilowatt-hour.
Based on the current power consumption of air conditioners, running them all day would probably cost several tens of contribution points.
Even if the owner of a hundred houses is quite wealthy, there aren't many people who dare to run the air conditioning all day long.
Of course, Zhang Lin didn't care.
He contributed a lot.
Moreover, even if he ran out of contribution points, he didn't believe the city lord would cut off his power.
Therefore, the air conditioning in Building 16 is on all day long, and in every room at maximum power. Even when it's probably fifty or sixty degrees Celsius outside, the temperature inside Building 16 can still be kept at around twenty degrees Celsius, which is very comfortable.
Because not many people were hired this time, there weren't many people living in Building 16. Apart from Zhang Lin, there were only about 10 women.
Since he couldn't leave the house during this period, Zhang Lin could finally take the opportunity to work hard.
Ji Yuetong is also pregnant, which makes Zhang Lin once again certain that his abilities are not the problem. If he gets a system that allows him to marry and have children, but he is infertile, then well, the reward will be cut in half...
Zhang Lin had also speculated about the reason for his low hit rate. After thinking it over, he felt that it might be due to the extraordinary template.
True dragon bloodline.
Perhaps his dragon bloodline created a reproductive barrier between him and ordinary people.
Of course, this is just speculation.
After the system finishes its self-adjustment, upgrade the template with a gold gem. If you can change the type, you might be able to determine if the issue is with the extraordinary template.
During periods of extreme heat, things were surprisingly calm. Even supernatural beings couldn't leave their homes during the hottest times. Hopefully, everyone in the city was avoiding the sun. Anyone who dared to venture out ended up as a dried-up corpse, lying in some corner. After being exposed to the sun for a few days, the wind blew them away, turning them to ashes and scattering them into the wind.
After the hottest days passed, the temperature gradually dropped. Although it was still around 40 or 50 degrees Celsius, at least it was safe to go outside.
People lacking supplies have begun venturing out in search of food.
Meanwhile, the extraordinary creatures that had completed their transformation began to become active.
Zhang Lin stood by the window, looking up at the sky. Under the azure sky, countless dark shadows soared. The golden-crowned giant eagle that once caused the Jinyu County settlement to disappear was no longer the only one in the sky.
Countless birds transformed into extraordinary creatures, and their primary prey was humans. Thus, they hovered over Hope City, ready to abduct humans at any moment.
Many people who went out alone to search for supplies were snatched away by creatures that fell from the sky, leaving only a scream to warn the people of Hope City.
A New Era —
It's here!
Fortunately, humans are different now than before. The ratmen provided Hope City with a huge amount of extraordinary resources, which were used to make many extraordinary template awakening potions.
Within Hope City, at least a hundred people have awakened the Extraordinary Template.
Most of their templates are related to "rat" and are ordinary templates, with a few lucky ones able to awaken rare templates.
Those with some strength chose to purchase the remains of the Golden Crowned Eagle and the Ratman King to make potions.
Golden-crowned giant eagles and ratmen are of a higher level than ordinary ratmen, so they have a higher chance of getting rare templates, but the number is still not large.
Perhaps these individuals who awakened the common and rare templates are not individually strong, but they know how to cooperate. In particular, most of these people belong to the city guard. Under the city lord's order to counterattack, they hope that most of the superhumans in the city will unite and launch a counterattack against the avian superhuman creatures.
As one of the team leaders, Zhang Lin naturally had to go to the battlefield.
Since An Qingge was pregnant, Zhang Lin wouldn't let her join the battle. She could take care of logistics and management, while he would handle the monster-killing.
The city guards' counterattack deterred the supernatural creatures in the sky. A few days later, the temperature dropped back to a normal level of around 30 degrees Celsius. At the same time, the avian supernatural creatures in the sky stopped staring at Hope City.
