Fortunately, the base is some distance from the snow-capped mountains.
Even if temperatures rise, the melted snow will only irrigate the riverbed.
If you want to eat ice to cool down, then you can only dream about it.
However, many people have also set their sights on making ice with saltpeter, but where can they find enough saltpeter?
Ultimately, it seems we can only wait and see what the official stance is!
We can't just ignore the lives of the survivors.
Don't think that ordinary survivors don't know that people living in the central area even have electric fans!
This kind of differential treatment, once fermented under the scorching sun, will surely lead to a great disaster.
Shen Jing lives in Zone C.
Few people are out and about on the streets during the day.
Those who went out were mostly people who had no choice but to take their family members to the hospital.
These people, carrying umbrellas, didn't even care about being drenched in sweat, hurrying along the sun-drenched streets.
Most of the green plants on the street had already frozen to death during the snow season.
Even if the dead trees could briefly revive, they're now withered branches and leaves again. During the snow season, people might have thought of bringing them back for firewood, but in this extremely hot weather, where even eggs can be fried outdoors, people are more worried that the vegetation might spontaneously combust!
With water resources so scarce, if a fire really breaks out, I really don't know if it can be put out.
The floodwaters have indeed not receded yet, but distant water cannot quench a nearby fire.
Considering I'll be going out tomorrow.
Shen Jing stopped thinking about these meaningless questions. In the apocalypse, there's no time for sentimentality; you can only move forward resolutely. Even if there are cliffs ahead, for the sake of the supplies above, she would not hesitate to face any danger!
"Vasi, when you go out tomorrow, remember to be wary of your teammates."
"Woof!" Not seeking trouble, but not afraid of trouble either!
“Yes, that makes sense.” Shen Jing patted its forehead. “Our target is a level 1 zombie.”
"Woof woof!" I'll bite him to death!
"It's hard to guarantee that humans won't try to steal your crystal cores. Don't worry too much; if they dare to try, don't let them get away with it."
"Woof woof!" Got it!
The cars were all parked in the parking lot. The paint could withstand temperatures of 140 degrees Celsius, but prolonged exposure to such high temperatures would definitely damage it. Looking at the blazing heat outside, Shen Jing wasn't sure if the protective film on her car would even work. She was momentarily uncertain.
The worst-case scenario is a tire explosion or a car spontaneously combusting.
Although the departure time is 4 pm, the ground temperature will probably still be 48 degrees or higher.
When the outside temperature reaches 40 degrees Celsius, the inside temperature can easily reach 60 degrees Celsius, making it uncomfortable without air conditioning. However, even if the air conditioning is turned on, there's no guarantee it will function properly and maintain cooling.
However, Shen Jing still decided to drive and walk to the city center. Just thinking about it made her feet feel incredibly tired.
We have already prepared a batch of supplies to cope with the extreme heat.
Shen Jing first categorized and placed everything she needed for this trip in a prominent place in the space.
For example, water, sun-protective clothing, outdoor UV-protective hats, as well as sunscreen, moisturizing spray, and medicine to prevent heatstroke.
It's better to be fully armed than to underestimate the effects of sun exposure.
After tidying up, Shen Jing decided to stay in her bedroom all day and had no intention of going out.
From morning to noon and then to night.
The streets outside are finally bustling again.
Fortunately, the temperature difference wasn't as extreme as in the desert, otherwise we might have to relive the unpleasant experience of zero degrees Celsius.
People still flocked out to cool off and search for water sources.
Shen Jing finally couldn't resist taking out an ice pop and eating it; if she had taken it out during the day, it would have melted very quickly. In the evening, scooping out scoops of ice cream and topping them with fruit shaved ice was her go-to routine in the extreme heat.
After eating all kinds of ice cream.
Shen Jing intensified her training according to Huang Yue's method, allowing her body to return to its pre-battle condition.
Then he took out the few crystal cores he had and split them with Vasily. "The tenant boss isn't providing any crystal cores, and our inventory is running low."
"Woof!" Tell him to cancel the lease!
“We can’t bully people with amnesia.” Shen Jing said while crushing the crystal core, “The energy of a transparent crystal core is about the same as eating a snack for our level.”
In other words, there's no need to exploit the amnesiac Gu Yan just for snacks.
Vassi crushed one as well, and quickly realized that it was craving a first-order crystal core.
After absorbing the energy from the crystal core as a midnight snack, and then combining it with the spiritual spring water, Shen Jing lay in bed, ready to get a good night's sleep and conserve her energy for tomorrow's outing!
But she didn't expect that someone wouldn't want her to rest properly.
At four in the morning, when all is quiet.
Shen Jing suddenly opened her eyes and looked at the empty space on the ceiling. At the same time, her mental ability was activated to detect the void.
The probe traveled from the living room to the balcony, then through the window on the other side back to the stairwell.
It turned out that a few people were dismantling the security door in the stairwell.
At this moment, Vassi also woke up. It squatted in front of the bedroom door, listening intently to the sounds outside.
Actually, the bedroom is still a distance from the hallway, but the five senses of a person with superpowers are inherently stronger than those of an ordinary person.
The sound of screws turning couldn't escape their ears!
Without lights, it was pitch black in the streets, bedrooms, and hallways.
The sound of metal striking metal is especially noticeable in the quiet of the night.
The group was acting suspiciously, and one of them said to one of them, "Watch your step!"
The man retorted, "This security door is so hard to remove! I heard the base commander installed it for her."
"Take it down, no matter how difficult it is to dismantle!"
"Shh! Stop arguing!" Not everyone was bold enough. The guy whose legs were still trembling said, "We stole the base chief's girl, won't he cause us trouble...?"
"Are you stupid? After you've robbed them, why don't you just go and join Captain Huang's side?"
"Yes, yes, the Huang family and the base chief don't get along!"
"But... I heard that the Huang family seems to have had a lot of trouble lately."
People at the base vaguely heard that an outbreak had occurred at the Huang family's secret laboratory in the suburbs, and many people who went there never returned.
In an attempt to shirk their own responsibility, the Huang family spread rumors that the research institute was engaging in unfair competition.
Everyone guessed that the director of the research institute was Director He's kept man.
But many others felt a lingering fear.
If Shen Jing hadn't revealed the inside story of the He family's laboratory at the points exchange center, wouldn't even more people have died? After all, many survivors in the base were tempted by the generous supplies and planned to join the Huang family.
Obviously, this does not include the people who are currently dismantling the security door.
They had long been brainwashed by the numerous superhumans in the Huang family.
In his eyes, only those with superpowers are strong. He believes that as long as he joins the Huang family, he can also become the strongest in the apocalypse!
Of course, you need a certain amount of credentials to get in touch with someone.
In their eyes, Shen Jing was the best brick.
Who told her to offend Captain Huang at the points redemption center!
Shen Jing got dressed and quietly opened the living room door.
Stepping outside, even before reaching the stairwell, you can hear their voices more clearly.
"We might also have a chance to try our luck with the base commander's woman!"
"Yes, yes, yes..."
