001 looked at her suspiciously. Wasn't she just grumbling about how the mission wasn't completed and acting like she really wanted to go home? Why was she now...
Shi Jiu looked at 001 who seemed a little confused about the situation and smiled in her heart. She said that she wanted to go home quickly, but she was not lying. She just knew that this kind of mission was very good. She was not picky about the time. Most of the time, she just said it to relieve stress.
"001, you are really a qualified system. You care so much about me, the host." Shi Jiu touched 001's...flower leaves and said with great satisfaction.
001 ran away awkwardly, "No way, isn't it normal to care about the host? What's more..."
This is about its mission score, not worrying about her! 001 looked at the mission progress bar in the data, not knowing if he was doing it right.
"Okay, it's getting late. If you don't rest, I also need to rest. See you tomorrow!" After Shi Jiu finished dealing with everything, he said hello to 001 who was thinking on the side, and went to rest.
The next day, the sun rose exceptionally early.
Many people feel a sticky sensation on their foreheads before they wake up in the morning. When they wake up, they find that they were woken up by the heat.
Although the temperature rose yesterday, it was still cool before they went to bed. They were able to maintain the most comfortable body temperature by simply covering themselves with a thin blanket.
But when they woke up in the morning, they found that their clothes were soaked and it felt a bit stuffy in the town. They quickly took out the fans they bought in the mall, or directly turned on the installed air conditioner.
After a while, I felt a little better.
"What a sin! The temperature really rose suddenly like before." Many elderly people also noticed the strange temperature, but it was still within the tolerable range overall, so they changed their clothes, moved a small stool, and sat in the rest area downstairs in the residential area.
Shijiu has made plans for each of the divided communities, and there is no shortage of facilities inside, so many people are willing to go to the rest area to chat with others when they have nothing to do.
Now there are many people holding their children or elderly people coming out. The community is well greened and it is much cooler than staying in the room.
"I was also worried about this last night, so I changed into short-sleeved shirts and shorts and covered myself with a thin blanket. I didn't expect to wake up from the heat this morning. I still underestimated the weather!" Some mothers are also aware of the changes in the weather and have made some preparations, but they still underestimated the severity of climate change.
Early in the morning, the town became bustling with people discussing what the weather would be like in the end. Many people who had just arrived last night were marveling at the magic of this place, especially when they met the first group of people who had been sent in.
"Lao Zhang! You are here too!" A man was on his way to the cafeteria. While looking around to see how others were doing things, he unexpectedly saw his old friend.
"Hey, Old Li, I said yesterday that the door was so lively, could it be that everyone in the institute has come here?" The person who was called was also very surprised to see him and hurried forward to chat with him.
"This place is really high-tech. I thought I went back to the old times." With the help of Lao Zhang, Lao Li successfully got a meal and sat down to eat while sighing.
"That's not true. Today, this town seems to have changed again. If I can retire here in the future, it will be a blessing in disguise after experiencing the apocalypse."
Lao Zhang arrived a few days earlier than him and knew clearly that the town had changed again today. The most obvious thing was what he saw with his own eyes and on the map on his mobile phone: there were large blank areas.
Just as they were surprised by the changes in the town and worried about the change in temperature, Shi Jiu was checking the cooling version of the products he had obtained before.
This channel directly replaced the previous daily selections. The previous daily selections provided her with some help in the beginning, but later became a way to provide purification trees. However, Shi Jiu did not dislike it and bought them every day. After all, it was better to be prepared to protect the environment.
Now the interface has directly turned into an ice-blue page, and six items have appeared on it, but they are no longer limited and can be purchased at any time. The only difference is that the price difference is quite large.
360° air conditioner. Price: 10,000 crystal cores. Cooling range: 500 square meters. Requires power to start.
[Quick Ice Maker. Price: 5000 Crystal Cores, Ice Production: 350kg. Requires power source.]
Large-capacity freezer. Price: 5,000 crystal cores, 100 slots, connects to a warehouse, unlimited restocking. Requires power source.
[Outdoor Cooling Patch. Price: 100 Crystal Cores per patch. It keeps your body at the optimal temperature for six hours. Suitable for hot outdoor conditions.]
[The freezer contains food and drinks. See the price tag.]
[Starting energy. Price: 1000 crystal cores/piece. The service life will vary depending on the product. Cooling products last 7-10 days.]
Note: The purchase price of the above goods is one-third of the selling price.
Shi Jiu's eyes lit up when she saw the description. It was like she had just found her pillow. She was just worrying about how to handle her external affairs. Although the price wasn't very expensive, if she could really find a sales channel and increase the volume, everything would be fine!
She hurriedly found Qin Lou and wanted to form a team to go out and find bases or shelters in other cities.
"But given the current situation, I'm afraid not many people are willing to go out."
After Shi Jiu's explanation, Qin Lou also learned that there was something new in the system. However, the temperature was rising, and many people were worried, not to mention that most people had the confidence to live here.
Shi Jiu took a look at the recent financial situation of the guests. That's right, they can always have food to eat here, and it's already very good to have a house to live in. Even if some people want to struggle to buy a house, they are in the minority, and they will cherish their lives more.
The flood in City A only occurred yesterday. Who knows if there will be other situations in the future?
Thinking of this, Shi Jiu felt a little distressed. She had to hurry out to sell the cooling version of the product so that more people would not die due to the high temperature. Her task progress bar could also advance quickly. Otherwise, if she missed this opportunity, even fewer people would survive.
Suddenly, she thought of the outdoor ice baby stickers above and came up with an idea.
"Or, I'll take people out to look for it!"
[Ding! Unlock the main quest: Stand on Your Own. Go out with abandon, the host is the best! Bonus: Activate an invincibility aura at any time. Expires after returning to town.]
Just as she expressed her thoughts, the long-lost electronic sound came to her mind.
When Qin Lou heard her idea, he immediately objected and said sternly, "No, it's too dangerous outside!"
After finishing speaking, he felt that his tone was too harsh, so he could only explain again in a slow voice: "Boss, it's hot now, and people's hearts are more fickle. Besides, going to other cities will take longer, and I'm worried..."
Shi Jiu was very excited when she heard the system's prompt. With the system's guarantee, she could take people out, and this time the invincible aura would only disappear after they returned to the town.
So she met Qin Lou's anxious eyes and said excitedly, "Xiao Qin, I can go out! I can protect myself outside!"
"But..." Qin Lou thought of something and was still a little worried, so he said hesitantly.
"Xiao Qin, do you want to go out with me?" Shi Jiu knew that he was still a little worried. It was the same when he went out twice before. However, he seemed to have only gone out once. Why not take him out with you this time?
"Together?" Qin Lou didn't expect Shi Jiu to invite him, "But... in this small town..."
"Don't worry, with so many people here now, nothing will happen in the town." There are a lot more employees now, so nothing will happen if Qin Lou is away for a few days. What's more, the entire town is under her control. If there is anything uncontrollable, she can solve it remotely.
"Okay... then I'll go prepare..." Qin Lou was a little dazed, his mind was confused for a while before he found his voice.
"It doesn't require a lot of things. I have a good idea!" Shi Jiu thought of a good idea. He went to the car factory to look through the car models and came up with a brilliant idea.
………
When people woke up the next day, the first thing they did was to check the thermometer. It had risen to 36 degrees in just one night. Moreover, there were green areas in the town, so the temperature was well regulated. You can imagine what the situation was like outside.
However, for them, the feeling of heat is only a concern when they go out. When they return to the room, go to work, or even enter farmland and ponds, they keep the temperature at a suitable level.
Especially in farmland, orchards and ponds, some people were worried at first that they would not get any harvest in this kind of weather. Unexpectedly, thanks to the protective cover, the temperature can still be over 20 degrees, which makes many people feel relieved.
While they were secretly worried about the high temperatures in the small town, they still went about their daily work as usual.
Just as they were living their lives as usual, not many people knew that an ordinary-looking black car drove out of the door.
"Wow, the effect is really good. It's much more comfortable than before." Wang Yue leaned against the window and looked at the scenery outside.
Shi Jiu sat aside, peeling an orange in a very good mood, "Of course, let's see where this is made."
When Shi Jiu learned yesterday that he could get out, he immediately thought of the car factory that had been built not long ago. If he wanted to get out, how could he rely on just his two legs? Even a person with superpowers could not do it. So he customized this car with great expense.
It looks like an ordinary black car, but it has a lot going for it.
The layout inside is like a normal house. It not only has several rooms, but also has a normal bathroom, kitchen and living room. Unlike the cramped space of an ordinary RV, the area inside is real. They will not feel any shaking in the car, as if they are really living in their own room.
There was no need for anyone to drive in front. Shi Jiu got the approximate location from Li Sui and directly located the specific landmarks in the surrounding area and went over.
"Boss... you really give me a lot of surprises all the time." Li Sui was drinking warm water. The air conditioning in the car was quite strong and was not affected by the climate outside at all. There was also a super large freezer not far away, on which you could see any drink you wanted.
Qin Lou was preparing lunch for today. Shi Jiu originally wanted to make do with it, as the mall had everything to eat and there was no need to go through so much trouble.
But Qin Lou insisted, since there was nothing to do on the road anyway, he might as well do it himself.
Shi Jiu didn't bring many people this time. Apart from Qin Lou, Wang Yue and Li Sui, they were old acquaintances. He directly asked someone to notify Chen Hua's team, as well as Yin Xue and his captain Yang Tian, who had previously gone to City A alone. They had a certain understanding of the outside world and just didn't hold back.
As for the small town, leaving for a few days is not a big deal. What's more, the speed of this car is comparable to that of a high-speed train. When necessary, it can even take off with the help of an aircraft, but the energy consumption will be too high.
That's right, this car can also use starting energy, but it requires six at a time, and they can only be used for one day before needing to be replaced.
Shi Jiu looked at the barren land outside, hoping that this trip could help him solve some problems.
