Chapter 83: Extremely Hot, Haircut
"Don't talk nonsense, we have nothing!"
Su Cheng smiled: "Did I tell you what you have? I just want to ask you, are you two ready? Can we set off?"
Lu Xingtang: “!!!” So she was confessing herself.
Actually, it’s really nothing!
Su Cheng looked at them with a mean look and said, "Let's go!" He was sure that these two people were in trouble!
They went to the water tower manufacturer, and when Lu Xingtang saw this water tower manufacturer, she was stunned. Wasn't this one of the plastic bucket manufacturers where she had stockpiled water towers and buckets before the apocalypse?
Lu Xingtang remembered it very clearly. The plastic barrel factory was located at a very high altitude, which caused her to almost slip when she started halfway up the slope. She even complained to the factory owner about the steepness of the road.
There are not many water towers and buckets in the factory. They should have been moved away, and those left cannot be taken away.
Lu Xingtang and his friends used the nesting doll method, putting the small bucket into the big bucket, and the big bucket into the water tower. They tied it to a sled and dragged the water tower home.
After delivering the water towers upstairs, they began to store water. They first cleaned all the water towers, shoveled the snow on the rooftop and put it into the water towers every day, and when the water towers were full of snow, they put in water purification tablets.
We collected some water every day until the end of March, when we stopped collecting snow water because the water towers and buckets were full.
On April 7, 2100, the extremely cold temperature finally rose from minus 60° to minus 40°, a 20° increase in just one night.
On April 8, the long-lost sun appeared, and the sunlight shone on the ice and snow. The weather was still cold, but people cheered. On April 25 last year, a typhoon suddenly swept through the capital, followed by a severe storm. Since that day, the sun has not appeared, even if the weather is good, the sun cannot be seen.
Now that the sun has finally come out, people are standing on the windowsill yelling, and some are even going outside in thick clothes to shout loudly.
After the sun came out, the temperature rose faster.
At the end of the day, the temperature rose from -40° to -12°. After a night, when it was dawn, it had returned to above zero, which was 7°.
It was also from this day that the ice and snow began to melt, and the sound of flowing water came to my ears. The snow on the rooftop had melted and flowed down the sewer pipes.
Su Cheng saw this and said, "Luckily, we have a water tower. If we didn't have one, we wouldn't even know where to find drinking water!" How lucky! If Ji Yanmo hadn't insisted on bringing the water tower back, he would have cried himself blind and still not been able to find any suitable water.
On April 10, the temperature reached 20°. The sun released its energy continuously from the moment it rose. Everyone sat on the balcony and felt the warmth given to them by the sun's rays.
The flood that had been frozen for nine months began to flow. People did not dare to walk on the ice. If they were not careful, the ice would break and they would fall into the flood. They would not be washed away by the flood, but it would not be easy to rescue them.
The government has also asked everyone to avoid going out as much as possible in the past few days. After the ice and snow have completely melted, find the previously used assault boats and kayaks and use them. Never go out alone. The flood water is very cold and people who fall into the water are prone to illness. Supplies are not easy to find now, so it is better to protect yourself.
It was at this moment that people began to put away their thick clothes. Lu Xingtang, too, began putting away the stove and its furnace tube. The range hood duct was sealed, as insects and viruses were coming, and they had to be cautiously prepared.
Lu Xingtang also reminded Ji Yanmo and Su Cheng that the weather was abnormal and suddenly became hot. The flood water was very dirty, and there was a lot of garbage and filth in it, as well as human and animal corpses. By then, the outer gate would definitely smell bad, and the air would be polluted, which would easily breed insects and germs. He asked them to pay attention to hygiene.
To avoid situations similar to snake plagues, ask them to continue sealing sewers and other pipes. Do not open them immediately. Wait for a while to see the situation. If there are no insect plagues or viruses, they can be opened and used.
On April 11, the temperature reached 35°, and all the ice and snow melted that day, and all the ice in the water also melted. The water level began to rise because the snow water from all the mountains in the imperial capital flowed down the river, quickly rushed into the city, and merged with the flood.
Min Weihuan was planning to ask the residents on the 15th floor to move upstairs, but he found that the water level, which had just risen, had actually dropped. It was at this time that Min Weihuan saw that the temperature on the thermometer had risen and reached 40°.
When the temperature reached 40°, the water level dropped faster. At the end of the day, the water level dropped by one and a half floors.
No one dared to go out on this day because once they did, they would get sunburned and their skin would feel burning and painful.
Su Cheng had completely put away his thick clothes and even shaved Su Hao's and his own hair, leaving his head completely bald.
Ji Yanmo didn't shave his hair, but instead had a short flat top.
Seeing how cool they were, Lu Xingtang wanted to push too. After all, long hair was very eye-catching during extreme heat, especially when water was scarce. More importantly, it was hot! Too hot! During the day, she could stay inside the space. At night, after the sun went down, it wasn't as hot outside, but the walls had been exposed to the sun all day, and the house was stuffy.
They didn't dare open the windows. After the extreme heat came, the water level of the flood was decreasing day by day, but the stench was unbearable and they lived in stinky water all day long.
Observing with a telescope, all you can see are flies and mosquitoes fluttering above the water surface, especially in the water, where corpse beetles, moth larvae, nematodes, water turtles, water centipedes, and other microorganisms have all come out.
But Lu Xingtang still decided to cut his hair. He didn't want to cut it into a flat top, which would be too ugly. But he didn't dare to cut it, for fear that if he cut it badly, it would make it even uglier.
So she went to find Su Cheng. Su Hao had heatstroke and Su Cheng was too busy to help her cut her hair. Lu Xingtang had no choice but to knock on Ji Yanmo's door: "Can you help me cut my hair and make it look good? If it's ugly, I will beat you!" Although she still trains every day, she really doesn't mind taking revenge!
Ji Yanmo: "Tell me first how to cut it. I'll do whatever you say!"
Lu Xingtang told Ji Yanmo his request. Ji Yanmo was silent for a moment: "Let me study it first! Come in and give me some advice!"
Lu Xingtang knew that his request was a bit too much. "Well, it's up to you! As long as it looks good!"
Ji Yanmo smiled with his dark eyes. He found a piece of cloth and wrapped it around Lu Xingtang to prevent her hair from getting into her clothes. He first cut Lu Xingtang's long hair, then put it aside and took it home after the haircut.
Worried that Lu Xingtang would not be satisfied with his craftsmanship, Ji Yanmo prepared a mirror for Lu Xingtang. At Lu Xingtang's request, Ji Yanmo spent two hours cutting her hair until she was satisfied.
Looking at himself with short hair in the mirror, Lu Xingtou was a little unrecognizable for a moment. He didn’t look delicate like a girl, but very cool!
Just thinking about how picky she was when I was getting my hair cut just now, now I think, ah, what a nuisance!
