wildfires
County Magistrate Zhao acted quickly and eliminated most of the locusts in two days. Although the remaining ones flew far away, there were not many left and they would not cause any trouble.
The days that followed were very peaceful. It was like the sea that seemed calm, but underneath it seemed that there were strong winds and huge waves hidden, ready to devour anyone.
This period of time was also the time when Jiang Tian felt most relaxed, and her farming value was gradually increasing. I don’t know why, maybe it was because she discovered locusts and protected the experimental fields a little?
The system didn't say it explicitly, but the farming value increased by another 5,000. A few months ago, she thought this number was unattainable, but now it was within her grasp.
Now, adding on the points she had gained from completing daily tasks recently, as well as working in the experimental fields and planting some seeds from time to time, her current farming value was approaching 50,000, which was 49,965.
As soon as this number came out, Jiang Tian realized that there was still hope for the system to be upgraded to level four.
After a long period of peace, Jiang Tian also had a feeling of peace and tranquility. Sometimes she thought that it would not be a bad idea to live in the safe house forever, but unfortunately she knew that this was impossible.
After the high temperature ends and humans no longer have to face dangerous substances, the gods will definitely not let everyone hide in this small place underground.
The family quarters of the safe house were fine, but as for the dormitory area, if it weren't for the strict management orders from Jin County Magistrate Zhao, problems would have arisen like in some other places.
Now the Internet is only confined to safe houses, and ordinary people know nothing about the outside world. Jiang Tian and his grandparents can still know some things about the outside world because they work in research institutes and hospitals.
In addition, some of the information was told to the government by Jiang Tian through the system. Jiang Tian was somewhat confident in controlling the situation. She knew that they were about to leave the safe house.
The high temperature is about to end, and I hope everything goes well. Jiang Tian feels uneasy, always feeling that something is going to happen, but he can't tell what will happen.
This feeling has lasted for several days. After visiting the experimental field, Jiang Tian glanced at the date. Today is July 29th. She had previously checked the weather for the next 30 days on July 11th through the query function. Once July 31st passes, the high temperature will be over.
Just like it came very suddenly, the high temperature left very suddenly. The temperature was still 80℃ on July 31, but by August 1, before 1 am, the temperature had dropped to 25℃.
It is said that every autumn rain brings a chill. Let Jiang Tian say that this time was no exception. It started raining at 7:30 and ended at 7:31, and the temperature was lowered by the rain.
Jiang Tian secretly speculated that there might be some substance in the rain that could mitigate the damage caused by the high temperature.
All things are interdependent and mutually exclusive, and one thing can subdue another.
After having lunch in the cafeteria, Jiang Tian still cherished the food he ate as the lunch in the safe house became less and less. After eating for so long, Jiang Tian couldn't help but secretly cook for himself at home.
Jiang Da was also ate until he was greasy. Now not only Jiang Tian, but also Chen Li and Zhao Fu would not let Jiang Da go out. If such a delicious goose was caught, Jiang Da would definitely not see the sun tomorrow.
You should know that only the three members of Jiang Da's family can understand what he says. Once, someone came to their house to look for Zhao Fu, and Jiang Da was so scared that he spoke human language, but to the neighbors, Jiang Da just made two goose calls.
From then on, everyone became even more worried. If others could understand what Jiang Da said, even if he was caught, it would not be a threat to Jiang Da's life. But if others could not understand, Jiang Da, as a fat goose, would have the only fate of being eaten.
In the afternoon, Jiang Tian was writing records in the control room. She saw a flash of lightning suddenly flash across the monitor, and a thunder happened to strike here. Jiang Tian was terrified when she saw it. Fortunately, the thunder did not fall on the experimental field.
But at the edge of the surveillance, Jiang Tian discovered that the thunder had fallen on a mountain not too far away. At this moment, her mind was full of ideas, and she was trying to find the answer to the recent abnormality.
Could this thunder cause any danger?
Bah, bah, bah, bad things don’t work but good things do. Jiang Tian shook his head frantically, trying to get rid of this bad idea.
Unfortunately, in the end, the good things didn’t work and the bad things did, and something went wrong.
When Jiang Tian heard the news, she even felt it was a bit absurd. What did she hear? Now that the high temperature is about to end, she saw the mountain that was struck by lightning on fire today.
The fire is now expanding rapidly and has formed a large wildfire.
Jiang Tian couldn't believe it, but he knew in his heart that no one would make such a joke that was not funny at all at this time.
At this time, the safe house's broadcast had sounded, organizing people to dig out a firebreak, and there would be generous points as rewards. Because there was not enough water resource and the temperature outside was still high, the possibility of putting out the wildfire was very low.
Between two evils, we have to choose the lesser of two evils. We can only dig out an isolation zone to protect the safe house.
Jiang Tian slapped his head and comforted his grandparents on the phone, telling them not to run around and to stay calm. Today's work was done and it would be time to get off work soon.
She checked carefully, told Teacher Zhou about her plan, and went to sign up. Although she couldn't do anything else, she could do this kind of thing as long as she could contribute.
When we arrived at the registration point, there was already a long queue.
The safe house is also doing its best to ensure everyone's safety. All the protective suits in the safe house have been taken out, and only people wearing protective suits can go out.
It is also stipulated that each person can stay outside for a maximum of half an hour. If they exceed this time, they must return to the safe house to change people. If they feel unwell, they must rush back immediately. After all, it is still 80 degrees Celsius outside and the ground temperature has already exceeded 100 degrees Celsius.
If people do not wear special protective clothing, they will immediately get heat stroke if they stay outdoors for a while.
Coupled with the damage caused by substance "Y", it is now impossible to stay outside without taking any protective measures. People will really die.
It was Jiang Tian's turn. As soon as she walked out of the safe house, even though her protective suit was heat-insulating, she still felt uncomfortable. This discomfort was not only physical, but also psychological.
Maybe it was because I went to the research institute after arriving at the safe house and was exposed to things related to planting, so all I saw was green, full of vitality and prosperity.
Suddenly leaving the utopian existence and facing the miserable appearance of the outside world, her brain was unable to think.
Even from a long distance, one could see the fierce flames filling the sky. Up close, the soil was completely different from that in the experimental field. There was no sign of life, unlike when it had lost its vitality due to the random rain.
Even though the soil had lost its activity at that time, there were still many plants on it, and it seemed that there was still a glimmer of life. Now everything on it has withered and the earth is cracked.
Jiang Tian believed that if he touched the soil with his hands at this time, he would be able to feel the earth's cry.
An isolation zone had been urgently designated in the safe house, which was a certain distance away from the safe house and the experimental field. The experimental field seemed to be the most dangerous. As long as the wildfire came, all efforts would be burned to ashes.
It takes countless days to build, but only a moment to destroy.
But the safe house is much more dangerous than the experimental field. The experimental field is on the ground, and if a wildfire comes, the source of oxygen for the underground safe house will become a problem.
And can the gate really completely block the wildfire?
If the wildfire entered the safe house, everyone would have nowhere to run. Thinking of this terrible guess, Jiang Tian's face turned pale. Fortunately, she was wearing protective clothing, otherwise the people around her would definitely think she was sick and asked her to go back to the safe house.
Jiang Tian wanted to work hard outside. Only by working hard could she fight against the terrible guess in her mind. Once she stopped what she was doing, her mind was filled with the tragic scene caused by the wildfire burning into the safe house.
Because of these, she worked extra hard, and Jiang Tian's physical strength was also developed during this period of farming career.
In just twenty minutes, the people around her had changed twice. The high temperature outside was unbearable even with the protective clothing.
There is also the fear brought by watching the wildfire getting closer and closer, which makes people involuntarily think, can we really defeat this wildfire?
There are quite a few people who think this way. When Jiang Tian just dug a shovel, he heard several people talking. Their tone was listless and full of lack of confidence.
Someone asked, "Can we really defeat nature? For so long, God has not allowed us to live a good life."
Someone echoed him, "Yeah, I really want to go out freely."
After hearing what he said, Jiang Tian felt that they might have stayed in the safe house for too long, and they were not in a good mood, and their tone was a little strange. However, the safe house was originally a transitional place, and it was amazing that it could ensure the safety of everyone and provide basic living needs.
That is to say, the Internet is not working now, so everyone can only communicate internally. We need to let them see that people in certain safe houses are being oppressed. In some places abroad, people have completely disappeared and the place is desolate.
Therefore, many times people's happiness is derived from comparison. At least Jiang Tian is very satisfied now. County Magistrate Zhao, as the person in charge of the Jin County safe house, is quite reliable, and her family members are all doing well.
It’s already pretty good, people should be more optimistic, Jiang Tian thought, and dug another shovelful.
Just like that, Jiang Tian came out for half an hour, went back to have a good rest, and then continued to queue up. His grandparents were also busy in the hospital, and Jiang Tian was studying at home.
Many people returning from outside need to go to the hospital. Some people are completely unable to adapt to the high temperature outside. Even with the protection of protective clothing, they are still moved back as soon as they go out.
Jiang Tian encountered this kind of person when he went out this time. The staff at the door seemed to have gotten used to it. They came over quickly to help the person away the moment he fell down, without affecting the order of the team at all.
Jiang Tian felt the helplessness of the staff. This job was not easy.
The wildfire was getting closer and closer. With everyone working together, the isolation zone was almost dug. Now it was a race against time with the wildfire. Everyone was digging desperately around the safe house.
It was already night and the sun had long gone down, but they didn't need any lights at all. The wildfires that were getting closer and closer helped them illuminate the ground.
The protective clothing on everyone is reflected in red.
Everyone was bent over. At this time, it was basically not the first time for everyone to go out. The temperature outside at night still did not drop at all. The only difference from the daytime was that there was no sun.
Everyone was racing against time with the wildfire. Looking at the fire getting closer and closer, they might have been panicking inside, but they still persevered with their hands.
