In just one day, the temperature soared to zero degrees, and even at night, the temperature did not drop any further.
This is somewhat similar to the previous rapid temperature drop. Could it be that... the weather is going to rise again?
In that case, given the current situation, things will only get worse.
Li Sui paced around the office and after thinking for a long time, he decided to wait and see the situation tomorrow. If the temperature continued to rise, the plan would have to be changed.
He picked up the device and contacted the bases or shelters in several surrounding cities again.
The people in the shelter were initially delighted, but then they became worried when they found that the temperature did not drop as usual after nightfall.
"It was like this when the temperature dropped before. Overnight, it turned into late autumn, and when we woke up the next day, it was early winter. It never got warmer again after that." Someone remembered the previous cold winter and how many people died in the early stages.
"What if the weather gets hotter and the temperature keeps rising? What should we do then?" Someone was holding a child, recalling the previous scene and thinking about the current situation.
"Wouldn't that mean... we'd be dying of heat?" Everyone shuddered at the thought of that situation. If it was a little colder, they could still endure it. Besides, snow could melt into water, remove the dirt inside, and it could also be a source of drinking water.
If the weather starts to get hotter later, the water supply becomes scarce, and food cannot be guaranteed, that would be another heavy blow.
Can they survive?
The atmosphere became depressing. The fact that tens of thousands of people went out yesterday was no longer important. Now the climate change was like a huge rock, weighing heavily on their hearts, making it hard for them to breathe.
After happily eating the cake, Shi Jiu did not ignore the weather. If it was cold, he could put on more clothes, but if it was hot, he would need to prepare more things.
The first thing is water source. She knows about the water sources in the soil outside. There is no complete solution yet. The heavy snow brought by the cold weather has solved some of the water shortage problems.
But once the climate becomes hot, the snow will no longer provide them with water, and it is likely to become a flood that takes their lives, along with various diseases and death.
"001, do you think the temperature will really rise to the level of scorching heat overnight?" Shi Jiu remembered that the coldest time before was more than 20 degrees below zero. If it suddenly rose to 34 degrees, most people's bodies would not be able to withstand it.
001 shook his head. "Well... I don't have a weather forecast installed in my system. Besides, if the weather changes overnight, the forecast won't be of much use!"
What 001 said made sense. It seemed that City A was likely to change its plan, so she had to be prepared to accommodate all the people at once.
She took out the thermometer. The temperature outside was still around zero degrees. She was more worried about the people outside. If the temperature suddenly rose very high, the snow would melt rapidly and flooding would easily occur in some remote places.
"I hope the temperature won't be too high tomorrow..." Shi Jiu sighed helplessly. Now he just hoped that this damn temperature would not continue to rise.
Many people cannot sleep tonight.
At dawn, many people ran outside to check the situation, but they were disappointed. The snow was slowly melting and the temperature was really rising.
Shi Jiu took the thermometer and walked towards Qin Lou's office. The plan for City A had to be revised.
As soon as he entered the door, Qin Lou also mentioned this matter, "Li Sui just gave me a message, saying that he wanted to send everyone here in advance. I don't know if the current situation in the town can accommodate so many people."
Shi Jiu had calculated before that there were about 80,000 people in the town, and there were more than 60,000 people on his side. She had made preparations in advance yesterday, leaving only a small portion of the money for purchasing supplies, and investing the rest in building houses.
"Let them all come over. I suspect the weather will get hotter later." Shi Jiu handed the thermometer in his hand to Qin Lou to see.
"The temperature outside is rising steadily now. Ask them to be more careful about flooding when they come over. The temperature inside the town is regulated, so it's also rising slowly."
The town only blocked most of the attacks, but it could not completely isolate itself from the weather and would still change with the weather outside. Fortunately, she did not need to worry about the water and electricity inside, otherwise she would be powerless to do anything about it.
"As the number of people increases, there will be more disputes. We need to recruit more people to form patrol teams to avoid large-scale conflicts." After Shi Jiu gave Qin Lou his instructions, he returned to the room.
"001, what is the progress of my mission?" When Shi Jiu noticed the change in the weather yesterday, he felt something was wrong and had an indescribable strange feeling in his heart.
001 was trembling when she asked this, "Host, you have to collect all the crystal cores before your mission is complete~"
"But now I'm almost taking in everyone in cities A and B. Do I have to take in everyone in the entire country and get their crystal cores to complete the mission?"
How long would she have to complete this mission? Wouldn't it take more than ten years?
Shi Jiu knew that this task was difficult, but for the sake of his own life, he had to continue. However, at the moment, he still had to think of other ways and could not just passively wait for someone to come.
Let's just deal with the current weather issue first. Shi Jiu glanced at the thermometer in his hand and sighed. He didn't know if there were any people in other cities. If the temperature got too high, it could really be fatal.
As soon as Li Sui received Qin Lou's confirmation, he immediately gathered people and put up circular propaganda on the streets, telling everyone the current serious situation and telling them that if they wanted to continue to survive, they should pack up their things quickly and gather at the door in the afternoon. When the group was full, he would escort another group over.
His action caught those who had been planning to do something off guard. They didn't bother to hide their feelings and started talking to each other when they met on the street.
"How could this happen? Isn't it good that the weather is getting a little warmer? If it stays as cold as before, it will be fatal, right?" Some people haven't figured it out yet and look puzzled.
"You're just stupid. Don't you think the rising temperature is abnormal? If it continues to rise, it won't be the same as the previous falling temperature. Without cooling equipment, we're going to die of heat here sooner or later!"
Someone pointed out the danger in one sentence. In fact, they don’t need to hide and talk about this anymore, because the streets are full of people talking about this matter. Among them are those who are skeptical, those who are disdainful, and those who don’t care.
Of course, even if most people are skeptical, they will rush home to pack up their things. For this kind of disaster, it is better to believe it and take sufficient safety measures to feel more at ease.
While Li Sui was putting up promotions all over the streets, he was not idle either. He took more than ten self-service membership registration machines from Qinlou. He planned to let families with a lot of luggage complete the procedures here first before going over.
Those who are traveling alone or do not have much luggage can go directly to the door to handle the process. This way, the flow of people can be properly separated and not everyone will be stuck at the door, which will delay the processing process.
Just when many people began to listen to Li Sui's arrangements, many people who opposed this matter jumped out and formed a small organization.
"We don't agree to leave the shelter!" They held homemade banners and wandered on the streets. Although there were not many people, a few hundred people was not a small number. They walked in a mighty procession to Li Sui's office.
"We live well here, why should we leave?"
"That's right, the rising temperature is normal. The previous crazy drop in temperature was abnormal. Tell me, is that town a trap you made up to trick us into falling into?!"
These people were clamoring and refusing to believe it, and refused to leave the place no matter what.
Li Sui stood in front of the window and watched the scene. He didn't say much, but added a sentence to the notification that was playing in a loop.
"We've simply disclosed all the possible risks and are letting you choose whether to leave. If you don't want to leave, we won't force you."
Some people who had some ulterior motives before looked at the people shouting loudly not far away, and their minds were a little unsettled.
"You said we should wait a little, just in case nothing happens..." As he said this, he turned around to ask the people next to him, but there were only a few people left around him.
"Hey? Where are the people?"
Just when they were puzzled, those who had been to the town once before had already gone back to pack up their belongings and prepared to leave with the main force.
They just want higher power and a better life, but that doesn't mean they are stupid. They just cling to this place. Their own lives are more important now, not to mention that the environment of this town is so good. Why should they stay here and take over the mess in the end?
Thus, their small group's ten-day conspiracy was completely shattered on this day when the weather changed drastically.
Li Sui didn't care about these things. The most important thing now was to transfer the people in the shelter to the other side of the town quickly and safely.
The snow in the shelter is not as heavy as outside. If you live in it, you will clean it regularly every day. But it is hard to say if you walk outside. There is a small hill nearby. Although it is not high, the melted snow can easily form rushing water.
Therefore, under the full planning of Li Sui and others, they began to escort people to the town after noon.
Most of the people began to gather at the entrance of the town, and buses were running back and forth, with several buses running non-stop. Fortunately, the streets were wide enough.
People living in the town also noticed the change in weather. Although their lives were basically in danger living there, they were always paying attention to the situation outside.
"A group of people came two days ago, and now another group has come. Is there something wrong outside?" Some people haven't been out for a long time and only feel the change in temperature. Now, they can only wear a single piece of clothing and a thin jacket.
"I heard from the zombie-hunting team this morning that the snow outside is melting rapidly, and many mutant animals are fleeing everywhere. There might be a flood coming later."
Now going out to fight zombies is just a name. There are no zombies around City B anymore, so most people will find things to do in the small town.
"If a flood really comes, can the town hold on?"
Upon hearing this, they also began to worry about the safety of the town. Snow had always fallen before, but would a flood cause the entire town to be flooded? Would they still be able to live in peace?
