Chapter 138 Trapped



The flood stopped surging, the ice was quickly melted by the sun, the surface was smooth with no footholds, and those who fell into the water could not climb out at all.

Two of them reacted quickly and ran towards the apartment building, but unfortunately their running speed was not as fast as the speed of the ice cracking.

He slipped and fell on the ice, then fell into the icy water.

After more than a year of natural disasters, his body had reached its limit. He was already very weak, and the icy water poured into his mouth and nose. He sank and floated, and could never get up again.

The rustling sound of the intercom brought Jiang Ning back to consciousness.

"Aning, the extreme heat has come early."

Jiang Ning couldn't remember the exact date, but it should have been mentioned, and the ice was broken very quickly.

She felt uneasy, "Do you feel that the sunlight is very dazzling?"

Huo Yishen knocked on the door outside, "Yes, and the temperature is rising too fast."

Open the door and look into each other's eyes.

In the previous life, many people died of heatstroke. This time, the temperature has skyrocketed, and the consequences will only be more serious.

Thinking of the "steamer sauna" he had experienced, Jiang Ning felt his scalp tingling.

If I had a choice, I would rather live in extremely cold weather, at least I could get into bed.

Seeing her serious expression, Huo Yishen comforted her: "We have prepared everything we need in advance, and we will get through it."

Yeah, it will get through.

In the past, she was alone and had to go through the shortage of water and food.

Now I not only have space and a dog, but I also have a boyfriend and a few friends. My conditions are much better than last time.

After breakfast, the two discussed harvesting potatoes.

Even with growth promoters, the extreme heat came early and the potatoes did not mature.

I scooped up a pot of it, and the pieces were a little smaller than the previous batch, and the taste was more astringent and difficult to swallow.

If we pick them now, not only will the yield be severely reduced, but the immature potatoes will be more difficult to preserve.

Huo Yishen asked, "Do you want to pick them?"

The potatoes on the balcony are exposed to the sun, and as the temperature rises, their leaves have wilted.

Jiang Ning thought for a moment and said, "I won't collect them yet. I'll put them in the black soil garden in the space and see if they can grow again."

So, dozens of pots of potatoes were stored in the space and neatly placed in the garden.

"Brother, I'm hot."

Since waking up, Doudou has changed clothes three times, but she still feels hot even when wearing a skirt.

The ice had just melted and the water was still very cold, but the 18th floor was the top floor and the cement roof had been exposed to the sun and turned white and gray.

Although the air temperature is 39 degrees, the surface temperature has reached 72 degrees.

Sitting in the living room, you can feel the heat seeping down from the ceiling.

This is the biggest disadvantage of living on the top floor. It’s so hot even without air conditioning in the summer that it’s killing people, let alone when it’s extremely hot.

Not only is Doudou hot, but even Coke is unbearable.

The dog, who is usually lively and active, is now squatting quietly, sticking out his long tongue to dissipate heat.

Jiang Ning walked into the master bedroom of Room 1801, took out the battery box and the air-conditioning fan, and did not forget to add ice cubes into them.

I want to turn on the air conditioner, but the outdoor unit is too loud.

There are already many water towers on the 18th floor. If the air conditioner is turned on, it will undoubtedly tell all survivors that there is no shortage of water and electricity on the 18th floor, so come and grab them.

Don't be in a hurry, just wait and see.

As soon as the air conditioner was turned on, the two of them occupied the space immediately. The cool air blew out from inside, and Doudou jumped for joy, "Wow, it's so cool."

Jiang Ning was wearing Puxin's constant temperature clothing and didn't feel particularly hot - 25 degrees, giving you eternal love.

However, I am a little worried at this time.

"I want to go out for a while."

Zhang Chao and his friends have been gone for several days, but they haven't come back yet. Could something have happened?

Huo Yishen asked, "Do you want to pick up Zhang Chao and the others?"

Jiang Ning nodded. "There are fewer people going out now, so it's safer."

"Wait a little longer. Many areas have not yet broken the ice. It would be even more dangerous if the speedboat was cut in the middle of the journey."

Huo Yishen analyzed for her, "Perhaps they are also waiting for the ice to break before coming back. It will be even more troublesome if we miss them then."

What he said made sense, so Jiang Ning decided to wait a little longer.

After dinner, I went back to take a nap and took out some big ice cubes to cool down. The air conditioner and fan were blowing, and the hot air gradually cooled down.

When I woke up at around four in the afternoon, the sun was still scorching hot, with no sign of letting up, as if it wanted to make up for the more than a year that had been lost, and kept scorching the steel and concrete standing on the water.

Jiang Ning went to the balcony to measure the temperature, and was greeted by a hot air flow, 43 degrees.

Looking around, the water was glittering and the ice was gone.

Jiang Ning put on a sun-protective coat over the constant temperature coat, and a hat and mask, and sent the dog to 1801.

Huo Yi was worried, "You stay at home, I'll pick them up."

Jiang Ning has his own insistence, "No, I can do it myself."

If 1803 wasn't her friend, would he go out?

She appreciated the kindness, but she didn't want to develop the habit of relying on him for everything and eventually turn herself into a giant baby.

In addition, she won't suffer from heat stroke because she is wearing a thermal suit.

Seeing that she insisted, Huo Yishen did not force her, "Be careful when you go out."

Carrying the heavy speedboat, Jiang Ning went downstairs to the 7th floor.

The 7th floor was obviously much cooler, but the indescribable smell was choking my nose.

On the water surface, there are garbage bags of various colors floating everywhere. Looking at them too much is bad for your stomach.

Jiang Ning put on two layers of masks, put the inflated speedboat into the water, and started driving it skillfully.

The roaring engine attracted the attention of the survivors in the apartment building.

It’s the 18th floor again!

Their rubber boats were hardened and burst when inflated, so why were the speedboats on the 18th floor intact?

Everyone is envious, jealous and hateful, but everyone knows that the people on the 18th floor are tough guys. At most, they say a few words of greeting in their hearts, but no one dares to make a move on them.

The heat is very strong, but water absorbs heat very well, so it just smells bad.
