Chapter 203

High temperature end

The next morning, when Fang Xin got up, he only saw three girls hunched over and working in the distance. No one else was there. They must have gone out to do their mission again.

After all, supplies are scarce now, and taking a day off means having no food.

They did not drive out. Instead, they parked the two cars in a warehouse. It was obvious that cars needed oil, and the little diesel would be gone once it was used up. They were reluctant to drive unless it was necessary.

In the open space in front of the base, three girls, Xiaosi, Xiaoshi and Xiaoyi, were together, banging on something.

When I got closer, I saw someone hammering and nailing a piece of wood that he had dug out from somewhere. There were two finished products next to them, and judging by their shapes, they should be planting boxes.

The three of them heard footsteps, stopped what they were doing and looked up. Little Eleven wiped the beads of sweat from his forehead and spoke first, "Sister, you're awake. The food is in the pot."

"Well, you guys are busy, don't worry about me."

Fang Xin looked around. Everything in the base was neatly arranged and kept in good order by the three girls.

The three girls Xiao Kai picked up are really good and very capable. Xiao Shiyi is calm and careful, while Xiao Si is a taciturn person who doesn't like to talk but just works hard. She is an honest girl.

Xiao Shi is a little short, only a little over 1.5 meters tall, but... he is a clever and capable person.

“Are you going to grow vegetables?”

"Yes, sister. Let's make some planting boxes and grow vegetables. Then we can eat fresh vegetables next month."

“You have to plant it outside.”

"Not outside. The temperature outside is too high. We plan to move them all to the underground warehouse for planting."

"There's no sunlight in the underground warehouse, so the vegetables won't grow well."

"It's okay. Brother Kai has a small generator that can be used to supplement the light."

Fang Xin nodded. There was indeed a small generator among his supplies, which he collected in S City.

"fine."

"Okay, you guys go ahead and get busy. I have to go back today. Tell Xiao Kai when he gets back."

"Sister, please stay a few more days." Xiao Shiyi tried her best to keep her, and the other two girls also nodded and looked at her expectantly.

"No, I've been out for a few days, I have to go back."

"Then I'll take you there." The three girls said as they put down their work and followed Fang Xin.

After Fang Xin finished speaking, he walked straight towards his car.

He led the dog into the car.

The three people followed the car all the way to the gate, stood at the gate and watched the car leave reluctantly, waving their hands constantly.

He rolled down the window, waved to the three of them, then stepped on the accelerator and drove out of the base.

After driving for three days, the car finally returned to the base.

In the following time, Fang Xin continued to live a carefree life every day. No matter how intense the outside world was, she was not affected at all. She continued to live a carefree life, with food and drink every day, and endless points to spend.

A small group of wealthy people in the inner area were unable to make ends meet for a long time and could not afford the high rent, so they were driven to the outer area by the managers, which completely squeezed all their value.

Three years passed before I knew it.

During these three years.

The mutant insects are getting stronger and more aggressive day by day. The insect tides will attack the base from time to time, causing certain troubles and a large consumption of supplies.

As supplies were consumed over a long period of time, supplies within the base became increasingly scarce.

Although supplies are scarce, there are more and more mutated plants in the wasteland outside, and many of them are edible.

However, they must first be taken back to the base for testing to confirm that they are edible before they can be eaten. The base will make the test results public to prevent survivors from accidentally eating them, because most mutated plants are poisonous and cannot be eaten.

But many survivors still died from accidental ingestion.

With edible mutated plants, many survivors would go out every day to collect edible ones and bring them back.

The mutated plants all grow very large, as if they have eaten chemical fertilizers. Although there are very few edible mutated plants, as long as you find one, you can eat it for a day.

Fang Xingang had just finished dealing with things in the store, locked her car and walked upstairs. She had almost sold out her clothes, and all the ones she couldn't wear or didn't like were exchanged for points.

There is some left, and I don't plan to sell it, so I can keep it.

There was only one container of condoms left.

Over the past three years, her employees' wages have slowly tripled. After paying all employees' wages today, the store temporarily suspended operations.

The main thing is that now you don’t have to open a store to spend all the points you have.

Tick-tock…

There was a sound of raindrops hitting the glass, leaving long water marks on the glass.

Fang Xin heard the sound of rain and walked to the window, staring quietly at the raindrops on the glass.

It's raining. After five years of high temperatures, it's finally raining.

The rain changed from an initial drizzle to an urgent downpour, with dense raindrops hitting the glass, making a clanging and crackling sound.

It fell on the wasteland and was instantly sucked into the dry ground, moistening the dry land.

The survivors in the base shouted excitedly and incredulously.

"It's raining..."

"Look everyone, it's finally raining."

"Great! We are saved, humanity is saved..."

"God finally opened his eyes, woo woo woo."

The survivors were very excited. They had finally survived the extreme heat and no longer had to endure the high temperatures and exposure to the sun.

They ran into the rainstorm, raised their heads, opened their mouths and sucked the rain water frantically, like thirsty fish, allowing their bodies to be beaten by the rainstorm.

They cried in the rain, laughed in the rain, cheered in the rain, and raised their hands to embrace the rushing rainstorm.

On the second day, many survivors caught colds and had fevers due to being caught in the rain.

The survivors were already in poor health, and coupled with the heavy rain and the sudden drop in temperature, the temperature difference was large, so it was inevitable that they would get sick.

Some people were wondering if there was something wrong with the rain.

The temperature also dropped sharply from a high of over 60 degrees to a few degrees below zero.

Always wear long clothes and long pants when going out.

People are no longer surprised by such weather and sudden temperature changes, and have changed into thicker clothes.

The heavy rains continued for three months, and the dry land was finally filled with water.

After a heavy rain, the sparse mutant plants on the wasteland became full of vitality, with more varieties, and it looked full of vitality from a distance.

After five long years, the soil in the wasteland has not improved and normal plants cannot grow. All that grows are mutated. Some are brightly colored, while others are ugly, forming a beautiful yet bizarre picture.

For some unknown reason, during the heavy rain, the mutant insects never attacked the base again, and even at night, no mutant insects were seen.

Even the mutated mosquitoes that have troubled humans for a long time have disappeared.

But no matter what, this is nothing but a good thing.
