On April 15th, the daily temperature reached 45 degrees Celsius, and Banxia and her companions continued their daily routine of killing zombies and searching for supplies.
On April 17th, the daily temperature reached 55 degrees Celsius, and the ground temperature reached 83 degrees Celsius. Within five minutes of going outside, one's entire body turned red from the sun, and one experienced dizziness, blurred vision, and difficulty breathing.
The three families were forced to halt their search for supplies.
After discussing it, the group decided to suspend all activities during the day and follow the example of some desert tribes, who were active at night and hibernating during the day.
The Banxia and Suyao families stored a lot of ice during the extreme cold, and when they renovated their houses, they specially added insulation layers and installed high-temperature air conditioners that could work normally at 60℃. Therefore, they were not affected by the scorching heat and lived a very comfortable life.
Cai Yuan and his companion moved to the villa area after the extreme cold. Although they didn't have any ice, they had prepared high-temperature air conditioning in advance, so they were doing quite well.
Ordinary people who were unprepared or not well-prepared began to fall into financial difficulties.
First and foremost, there's a water shortage!
Even though water was rationed during the extreme cold period, at least you could buy it with money. Now that the zombie virus has broken out, the government is too busy to help ordinary people in the short term, so many households have been completely cut off from water!
Secondly, the food begins to spoil.
During periods of extreme cold, everything becomes a natural refrigerator. Apart from fresh fruits and vegetables and bottled beverages, which are easily damaged by freezing, most foods are easy to preserve.
Now that the temperature has risen to 55°C, the meat, vegetables, and fruits that were stockpiled before the apocalypse are rotting and spoiling.
Finally, there was a power outage.
Before the apocalypse, the lack of electricity at most meant a lack of entertainment, but now it's a matter of life and death!
Without air conditioning and fans to dissipate heat, many elderly people and children with weak constitutions have died from heatstroke, and even some young people who stay up late and do not exercise for many years have also died from heatstroke.
Under the high temperature, the corpses began to rot and stink within just a few hours. Some people couldn't bear it and tried to bury them properly, but most just threw them out of the window and left them to be eaten by zombies.
The smell of rotting corpses, combined with the stench of litter and bodily waste scattered around during the extreme cold, filled the air in many places!
Faced with the pressure of survival due to lack of water and food, ordinary people who were hiding at home and dared not go out to face the zombies mustered up their courage to go out and find water and supplies, fighting for a way to survive for themselves and their families.
Every day, people go out and never come back; some die at the hands of zombies, and some at the hands of their own kind.
As people fought for survival resources, conflicts between them increased. What started as mere arguments gradually escalated into physical fights, and eventually, it turned into murder and robbery...
Once the malice deep within is released, there's no going back.
The atmosphere between people is becoming increasingly cold and strange, and people no longer dare to easily give their hearts away.
Modern civilized society has only been established for a little over a hundred years, yet it can collapse in less than a month!
Banxia and Nanxing decided to sleep outside during the first extremely hot period.
Firstly, the air conditioner was on in the bedroom and ice was placed in it, so the indoor temperature was around 23 degrees Celsius, which was not hot.
Secondly, their search for supplies was quite noisy, and many people in the community knew that these families had stockpiled a lot of supplies. There were always people who dared not risk dealing with the zombies, but hoped to get lucky and steal food and water from them. They had to be on guard against these people coming to their door at all times.
Thirdly, it's to allow their bodies to adapt to the environment, since they still need to go out at night to find supplies and fight zombies to hone their skills.
At 7 PM, the alarm clock rang precisely on time.
Banxia yawned, wanting to stay in bed longer.
The young and vigorous man couldn't resist the slightest provocation. She only touched his abs a couple of times, and he dragged her around and made love to her all morning. Even now, her body is still slightly sore.
When they first became intimate, the man was mindful that she was only a year old and had been physically weak since childhood. He would usually make a fuss every other day, being gentle and restrained, and trying his best not to leave any marks on her body to prevent her from being embarrassed if her classmates saw them.
Once married, the man completely indulged himself. Except for special periods, he would make a scene once or twice every night, and even when he was resting, he would make a scene several times before stopping. He even wanted to brand her all over her body.
She watched as the man threw back the air-conditioning blanket and got out of bed, his naked body coming into view: broad shoulders, chest muscles, abs, V-line, long legs... a smooth back, a round and firm butt...
When she used to browse Nanxing's Weibo comments, she saw all sorts of people saying that his butt must feel really good to touch, and each comment had over 100,000 likes.
Cough, it really feels great...
She's the only one I can touch whenever I want—I'm so proud!
“Wife,” Nanxing pulled out a short-sleeved shirt and shorts from the closet, “if you keep staring at me like that, I’m going back to bed with you!”
Banxia hurriedly hugged the air-conditioning blanket, turned around, and faced away from him: "I'm not watching anymore, hurry up and get dressed!"
Nanxing quickly put on his clothes, looking regretful: "I have time today, so I'll make breakfast: noodle soup, dumplings, steamed buns, bread, porridge, pancakes, and some Western food. What would you like to eat, honey?"
As he spoke, he took a creamy white silk slip dress and a new women's underwear from the wardrobe and placed them on the bed.
Banxia turned over to face him again: "Shredded pork noodles, with extra greens." She saw the dress on the bed, "I don't want to wear a dress."
"Don't worry," Nanxing said with a smile, "I didn't leave any traces in conspicuous places."
Banxia gave him a weak glare and pulled the air-conditioning blanket over her head.
Nanxing, both amused and exasperated, pulled the air-conditioned blanket down: "I'll go cook, I'll call you when it's done."
After he finished speaking, he turned around and left the bedroom, entering the kitchen. There were two large double-door refrigerators in the kitchen, one for food and the other for drinks.
He opened the refrigerator, took out fresh vegetables and pork tenderloin, and began washing the vegetables and cutting the meat.
Banxia lay in bed for ten minutes, but couldn't fall asleep, so she simply threw off the covers and got up.
She took a look in the mirror while washing up, and there were indeed no marks on her exposed skin. Moreover, Nanxing had excellent taste; the dress she chose was like it was custom-made, the size was just right, not a centimeter more or less.
The only downside is that the dress looks very ladylike and delicate; it would probably look even prettier with long hair.
When Nanxing saw Banxia come out wearing a dress, a hint of amazement flashed in his eyes.
This is a slightly fitted long dress with a clean and crisp cut, without any unnecessary embellishments. The hem hangs down naturally, reaching to the ankles.
If a fuller-figured or petite girl wears this, she may appear broad-shouldered and thick-waisted.
Banxia wore it perfectly, her delicate collarbones were on full display, and her slender waist and straight long legs were faintly visible. Coupled with her rosy complexion and fair skin, she looked like a radiant young lady from a wealthy family.
He suddenly remembered something, washed his hands, and pushed open the bedroom door.
Banxia was a little confused. Shouldn't it be time to eat?
Nanxing quickly came out, holding a white pearl necklace in her hand.
He placed the necklace around Banxia's slender neck before nodding in satisfaction: "It really matches the dress perfectly, my wife is so beautiful!"
Banxia touched her neck and said with a smile, "Thank you, husband."
