Abnormal natural disasters
In mid-June, Jiang Miao got a haircut on the way to the supermarket. The weather was getting hotter and short hair was cooler and easier to manage.
"Boss." Manager Xiang has not changed since Jiang Miao took over the supermarket. The temperature has been rising recently and fewer and fewer people are coming, and the supermarket's profits are not good. He feels a little sorry for the boss's big purchase of goods.
"Yes." Jiang Miao inspected the supermarket and the warehouse and said, "Go to the gate and the surrounding communities and spread the word. From now on, the supermarket will sell all products at purchase price for the next ten days. You can distribute the proceeds to the employees, and the supermarket will be declared bankrupt."
"...What?" Manager Xiang was completely confused: "But boss, you have only been in charge for less than three months?"
"It's not surprising that the investment failed." Jiang Miao went to the finance department to look at the revenue of the past few months, and it was indeed in a loss-making state: "It will take only ten days to clear out the goods in the supermarket and make up for the loss for you. Just consider it as compensation from me as the boss."
The manager had no words to say about such a rude way of bankruptcy, after all he was the boss.
So he quickly sent people to replace the labels of the supermarkets and put up sales banners at the door saying they were selling at purchase prices. Although many companies had taken holidays due to the hot weather, it did not stop everyone from getting the best deals. Fruits, vegetables, meat, toilet paper, laundry detergent, etc. were snatched up the fastest, and the remaining other supplies slowly disappeared as everyone was picking and choosing.
The supplies in Jiang Miao's space are already abundant and don't need these little things. She just wants to lower the price to stimulate a wave of consumption so that everyone can stock up some surplus food. People won't be so desperate. The slower this society loses order, the more time she will have to have more cards in her hand.
On June 30, Jiang Miao had just finished a set of strength training when he received a call from his instructor: "Jiang Miao, hurry up and come over to complete the leave of absence procedures. The school has been preparing to start the summer vacation early due to the continuous high temperatures in the past few days. It's just right for you to come over now."
"..." To be honest, Jiang Miao forgot that he was still a college student. Although it didn't matter whether he took a leave of absence or not, he couldn't ruin his character at the last moment, especially when the end of the world was getting closer and closer, and he couldn't reveal any unusual clues.
She remembered that around July 20th, the temperature in Ancheng would exceed 50 degrees and continue to rise until it reached over 70 degrees, when it gradually stabilized and stopped rising. So going to school now was not a big problem, and she could also buy some food at the snack street near the school. She remembered that there were two delicious chicken pots and braised chicken restaurants there, and if she didn't go now, she might never be able to eat them again.
Jiang Miao wore a baseball cap to cover his short hair and went out in the 42-degree heat. As soon as he came out of the basement, the sun was so hot that it was impossible to open his eyes. In order to ensure driving safety, Jiang Miao took out his sunglasses from the car and went to an eyewear store to buy ten pairs of sunglasses in the space.
Now, apart from the higher temperature, the social order is not disturbed at all. Jiang Miao didn't want to attract too much attention, nor did she want to ruin her image as a rich woman, so she compromised by driving an SUV into the school and parking it in front of the political and educational building.
The teacher at the Academic Affairs Office also knew about Jiang Miao's special situation. In fact, it didn't matter whether this rich second-generation came to school or not. After looking at the information, he found that he was still a boarding student: "The student status here has been updated to suspension. You can go to the dormitory building and find the dormitory management department to go through the departure procedures and move your luggage away."
"Okay." Jiang Miao walked out of the political and educational building and a wave of hot air hit his face. The whole square was like a frying pan without oil. When the meat was put on it, it would sizzle and emit white smoke.
Even with the air conditioner on, the temperature in the black SUV was still terrifying. Jiang Miao got into the car and took out an ice pad from the spacer and put it on the seat, which made the situation feel a little better.
The Linjiangyuan dormitory building is quite far from the Political and Educational University. Jiang Miao came to the dormitory management department and asked the responsible teacher to stamp his/her permission to leave the school.
"The damn weather is getting hotter and hotter." The teachers chatted while working, and even with the air conditioner on at 20 degrees in the office, they could still feel an indescribable heat.
"My son kept complaining about how hot it is these days. He's had a holiday and is waiting for me to finish my work so he can go back to my hometown in the north to escape the heat and cool off."
The temperature in the north during extremely hot weather is only over 60 degrees Celsius, but the temperature in the north during extremely cold weather is as low as minus 80 degrees Celsius, which is equally unbearable.
"Student, go to the dormitory as soon as possible to collect your belongings and leave your keys behind." The teacher looked out the window and said, "Why does the sky look so cloudy? Is it going to rain?"
Another teacher was surprised: "No way, I checked the weather forecast for the past few days and there is not a drop of rain."
Upon hearing this, Jiang Miao looked out the window. The dazzling sun showed no sign of retreating, and the sky was cloudless. But just like the teacher said, it didn't feel as bright as before.
The valuables in the dormitory had been put into the space long before Jiang Miao left. Now he was just pretending to pack up some clothes and toiletries and going downstairs.
"--click--click--"
Jiang Miao went downstairs carrying the box and seemed to hear the sound of rain.
But that wasn't right! In her memory, high temperatures would last for a year before heavy rains came. Could it be that a temperature of only 45 degrees Celsius was enough to successfully get through this?
Jiang Miao quickly rushed to the first floor and saw the teachers standing nervously at the window. He couldn't help but look towards the door.
--it sleets.
Before the highest temperature in human history arrived, God caught Jiang Miao off guard and sent down hail in advance.
"What should I do? My husband and son are still at home, and there is no food at home. What will they eat and drink all day?"
The two teachers were anxiously circling in the office. Jiang Miao stood at the door and watched. The car was parked outside the dormitory building, about 30 meters away. If the speed was fast enough...
"Help!"
Not far away, there was a pedestrian who was desperately running towards the nearest girls' dormitory. The hail had only been falling for twenty seconds when he was hit by the sudden disaster and fell to the ground covered in blood.
The man's eyes were filled with expectation, hoping that Jiang Miao, who was standing at the door, could lend a helping hand and save his life. However, Jiang Miao just looked up at the sky indifferently, then turned and left.
The hail was so dense that Jiang Miao was not sure if one of them would hit the inner wing of the temporal fossa of the skull and smash her head into pieces.
At this point, she also clearly realized that she was trapped in the dormitory building.
Looking at the departure registration book on the window, there were only about one-fifth of the students in the building who had not had time to go home. After noticing the situation outside the window, everyone gathered in groups of three or five in the corridor or the lobby on the first floor. Some people looked anxious, some did not care, and the crowd was chattering. The carefree students went straight back to the dormitory and continued to sleep, while some students urgently called home to report their safety. The hall was in chaos.
The hail was extremely lethal, with countless casualties on the streets of Ancheng. It became a hot topic in just ten minutes. The news department of the United Nations Ministry issued a call on citizens on mobile client and computer broadcasts not to go out, and to find shelter if they were outdoors. Meteorological experts predicted that this sudden June hail would last for at least two days.
Jiang Miao watched the hailstones falling on the ground, which were melted by the high temperature and turned into a pool of water, and then turned into water vapor and rose up. If the hailstones continued to fall and the high temperature did not drop, the water vapor would continue to rise into the air...
Then, the whole Ancheng will become a steamer.
