Returning to his senses, Xiao Lin listened to Hai Dong's words, "The water level has receded a little?"
Hai Dong replied, "That's right, and it's very fast."
Upon hearing this, Xiao Lin frowned instantly, thinking to himself, "The extreme heat is coming!"
Then he ordered, "Send word down that all comrades still outside the base must return to the base immediately, as quickly as possible!"
Hai Dong looked bewildered. "Why were they suddenly recalled?"
Although Hai Dong had doubts, he acted very quickly, dialing the satellite phone of the comrades who were out and about, and then asked Xiao Lin, "Boss, is something wrong?"
Xiao Lin couldn't tell him that he knew the extreme heat was coming soon, so he could only casually reply, "The water level has dropped, and we don't know what will happen next. We've already lost many brothers because of bacteria and viruses, and I don't want anything to happen to the remaining brothers."
The morning passed quickly, and the people who had gone out gradually returned to the base. At this time, the water level was only about 2 meters. If they didn't hurry, the kayaks would soon run aground.
The floodwaters receded at a speed visible to the naked eye, as if by magic. As the water level dropped, steam rose from the surface, and sunlight shone through the vapor onto the exposed ground, creating a misty, dreamlike scene.
The ground gradually emerged, the wet soil shimmering in the sunlight. First came floating debris, pieces of wood, and furniture; then came fragments of human tissue, heads, torsos, and so on; followed by pebbles, broken branches, and fallen leaves, and the traces of a street gradually appeared.
Inside the base, as the floodwaters receded, everyone disregarded the debris on the ground and rushed down, cheering, "The apocalypse is over! The apocalypse is over!"
Xiao Lin watched the crowd pouring out of the building and sternly ordered his men, "Everyone, get back inside the building! Everyone, get back inside the building!"
However, the people at the base seemed not to hear them and continued to cheer and jubilate.
Sudden!
A wave of heat hit us, like a blazing fire, and the air seemed to be filled with unbearable heat.
People felt as if their skin was being gently touched by a flame, and a burning sensation spread throughout their bodies.
In that instant, everyone scattered, searching for shelter from the sun.
The building instantly became the only refuge for people to escape the scorching heat.
The cheers gradually turned into hurried footsteps as people rushed into buildings, searching for any place that could shield them from the sun.
The base fell silent instantly, with only the sound of the scorching wind and the heat waves in the air.
Inside the building, people closed their windows, drew the curtains, and took off their long gowns, seeking every possible way to block out the scorching sun.
As temperatures continue to rise, the air becomes increasingly dry, and the heatwave seems to dance in the air. Every breath feels like inhaling scorching air from a furnace, burning the lungs and causing extreme suffocation and discomfort.
At this moment, those who haven't yet taken refuge in a building feel as if they are stepping on flames with every step.
The rapid temperature change made it unbearable for those still outside, causing them to gradually lose their balance. Some even lost their ability to support their own weight and fell onto the scorching ground.
The people who had just collapsed lay on the ground, feeling the scorching heat instantly spread throughout their bodies.
