Bi Qiaoan thought for a moment, recalling that there seemed to be quite a lot of mosquitoes in her previous life, and nodded, saying, "We can prepare some in advance, so we can use them next year if we don't need them this year."
"You wouldn't believe it, there's a dry toilet near my house, only two or three hundred meters away. It's really convenient, but the smell is a bit awful. I think if this continues, there's bound to be a lot of mosquitoes," Xia Ran said, pursing her lips.
After hearing this, Bi Qiaoan felt deeply sympathetic towards Xia Ran. Fortunately, the toilet in Qingyu Community was far away from Building 6.
The two girls didn't quiet down, and the other girls joined in, some saying they should prepare masks, others saying they should prepare ginger and chili peppers.
Bi Qiaoan thought everyone's ideas were good, and they were all things that were necessary for winter.
Michelle felt a pang of jealousy when she saw Bi Qiaoan surrounded by a group of people. She thought to herself, "I'm perfect in every way, so why is no one likes me?"
Clearly, Michelle had a significant misunderstanding of herself. If Michelle hadn't been a legitimate candidate and hadn't made any mistakes since starting work, Zhu Shiliang would have wanted to find an opportunity to fire her.
However, this person seems oblivious to the situation...
At noon, Shen Yanming took out his and Bi Qiaoan's lunchboxes from his bag. Neither of them minded the cold food and started eating.
"Why do you two prefer to eat cold food every day instead of going to the restaurant to heat it up?" Chen Qing, holding a lunchbox, once again tried to persuade the two of them to heat up their food.
Shen Yanming smiled and said, "It's alright, we're both used to it. You go ahead, or you'll have to wait in line when it gets crowded."
Chen Qing's persuasion failed once again, and he could only sigh, "Fine, fine, but eating cold food is really bad for your stomach!"
Shen Yanming smiled but didn't speak. It wasn't that he and Bi Qiaoan liked eating cold food, but rather, without water, how many people washed their lunchboxes every day? And how many people washed their hands after using the toilet?
Just thinking about how many people touch that microwave oven every day makes Shen Yanming and Bi Qiaoan feel nauseous and unable to eat. In that case, they might as well just eat cold food.
Once there were hardly any people left in the office, the two of them opened their lunchboxes, which contained scrambled eggs with toon leaves, stir-fried bok choy with shiitake mushrooms, and rice.
Shen Yanming and Bi Qiaoan's meals were nothing special compared to the others, and because they ate cold rice and dishes every day, they never had any meat or fish in their meals.
However, this standard of food was just right; it wouldn't stifle their palates, nor would it attract attention from others. Shen Yanming thought that without the envy and jealousy of others, the future would probably be much more peaceful.
After finishing lunch, Shen Yanming and Bi Qiaoan got together and turned on the news. They saw that Qinghe TV was connecting with overseas reporters.
"Dear viewers, I am currently located in Weizhou, Siliguo Alliance."
According to our investigation, water supply to Si Li Guo has been cut off since November, and the Si Li Guo government did not make any preparations before the dry season began.
Currently, surface water and groundwater are almost nonexistent in the urban areas of Siliguo, and the citizens of Siliguo are facing a severe survival problem. Siliguo citizens are taking to the internet to question the government, asking why other countries were able to issue early warnings while the Siliguo government has been so inactive.
In an effort to win back public support, the Siliguo government dispatched its national guard to the Massen rainforest to search for rivers and lakes deep within the mountains that had not yet dried up, hoping to obtain enough drinking water to meet the survival needs of the Siliguo people and thus regain their favor.
"Hello everyone, I am currently in Qi'er City, Aoya Kingdom. As you can see, the area behind me is devastated."
Because the Kingdom of Oya failed to prepare for the dry season in advance, more than 30% of the residents in the ten continents near the Xila Mountains, including the city of Qi'er, have shown obvious symptoms of dehydration. If the government does not address the issue promptly, these 30% of residents, and even the entire Kingdom of Oya, could be plunged into a living hell.
The reporter's voice choked as he spoke, "The Kingdom of Oya is already a country with relatively scarce water resources. This misjudgment has already led to the deaths of more than 500,000 citizens."
The white building behind me is the morgue in Qier City, where hundreds of bodies are cremated every day.
Drought is no longer just a national issue; the global devastation it has brought is alarming. I hope our friends back home will conserve water and take care of themselves.
"Hello everyone, I'm sure you're all curious about why I'm wearing a mask on camera today. Now, please have our cameraman move the lens down to reveal the answer."
Then, Shen Yanming and Bi Qiaoan witnessed an extremely disgusting scene: sewage and feces were everywhere, along with animal carcasses.
"I am reporter Jin Jin, and I am currently in Lin Lingguo's position."
As you can see, due to water shortage, the residents of Linling Kingdom have been defecating and urinating outdoors for more than half a month. This has resulted in an unsightly environment and foul-smelling air. Most terrifyingly, rotting animal carcasses infested with maggots are everywhere, bringing various diseases to Linling Kingdom.
Currently, many people in Linlingguo have been infected with an unknown virus. However, given the current situation, Linlingguo's hospitals and research institutes are unable to operate normally, resulting in the virus infecting a large number of residents in a short period of time.
These patients could not receive proper care and treatment and could only lie at home waiting to die, so Lin Lingguo had a large number of corpses transported to the incineration pool for burning every day.
In Fumei Town, Linling Kingdom, a wildfire broke out in an incineration pond due to operator error. The fire has been raging for over ten days and remains unextinguished.
The reporter probably thought the camera had already cut off, because after finishing the report, he muttered, "I hope our motherland will take us home soon!"
Shen Yanming and Bi Qiaoan were both saddened when they heard this, especially Bi Qiaoan, whose tears welled up immediately. They felt very sorry for her.
Shen Yanming took out a tissue to wipe Bi Qiaoan's tears. Bi Qiaoan said in a muffled voice, "They are all great. The environment abroad is so bad, yet they still stick to their posts. They must miss home too, and they must be scared too!"
Shen Yanming comforted Bi Qiaoan, saying, "The country will see their efforts and will give them the greatest support and help."
After the video finished playing, Bi Qiaoan opened Weibo and found that Weibo had gone viral again today!
Netizens are feeling extremely heavy-hearted. They complain every day about how terrible their lives are and how inconvenient their current days are.
But when they saw videos of people living in misery abroad, and when they dug up texts and pictures of people waiting to die posted by foreign netizens on the internet, they deeply felt how fortunate their own lives were, and how much effort the Qinghe Alliance had made for their current peaceful and worry-free lives!
