The flood stopped surging, and the ice was quickly melted by the sun. The surface was smooth and there was no foothold. The people who fell into the water could not climb out.
Two of them reacted quickly and ran towards the unit building, but unfortunately their running speed was far slower than the speed of the ice cracking.
They slipped and fell on the ice, and then fell into the icy water.
More than a year after the natural disaster, their bodies have reached their limits. They were already extremely weak. The freezing cold water poured into their mouths and noses, and they were floating up and down, and could no longer climb out.
The rustling sound of the walkie-talkie brought Jiang Ning back to consciousness.
"Aning, the extreme heat has been brought forward."
Jiang Ning couldn't remember the specific date, but it should have been brought forward, and the speed of breaking the ice was particularly fast.
She felt uneasy, "Do you think the sunlight is glaring?"
Huo Yishen knocked on the door outside, "Yes, and the temperature is rising too fast."
After opening the door, their eyes met.
Many people died of heatstroke in their previous lives. This time, the temperature has skyrocketed, and the consequences will only be more serious.
Thinking of the "steamer sauna" she had experienced, Jiang Ning felt her scalp tingling.
If there is a choice, it is better to be in extremely cold weather, at least you can get into bed.
Seeing her solemn expression, Huo Yishen comforted her, "Everything that should be prepared has been prepared in advance, and you will get through it."
Yes, you will get through it.
In the past, she was alone and had to go through the lack of water and food.
Now, not only does she have space and a dog, but she also has a boyfriend... and a few friends. The 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 were not yet mature.
After digging a pot of potatoes, the potatoes were smaller than the previous batch, and the taste was more astringent and difficult to swallow.
If they were picked now, not only would the yield be severely reduced, but the immature potatoes would be more difficult to preserve.
Huo Yishen asked, "Do you want to pick them?"
The potatoes on the balcony were exposed to the sun, and as the temperature rose, the leaves had wilted.
Jiang Ning thought for a moment and said, "Don't collect them yet. I'll put them in the black soil garden in the space and see if they will grow again."
So, dozens of pots of potatoes were all collected in the space and neatly placed in the garden.
"Brother, I'm hot."
From waking up to now, Doudou has changed clothes three times, and she still feels hot in 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-poured ceiling had been exposed to the sun and turned white and gray.
Although the temperature was 39 degrees, the surface temperature had 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 can be so hot in the summer without air conditioning, let alone extremely hot.
Not only Doudou was hot, but even Coke couldn't stand it.
The dog, who was always lively and active, was squatting quietly at this moment, sticking out his long tongue to cool down.
Jiang Ning walked into the master bedroom of 1801, took out the battery box and air-conditioning fan, and did not forget to add ice cubes inside.
I wanted to turn on the air conditioner, but the noise of the outdoor unit was too loud.
There are already many water towers on the 18th floor. If the air conditioner is turned on, it will undoubtedly tell all the survivors that there is no shortage of water and electricity on the 18th floor, so come and grab them.
Don't worry, wait and see.
As soon as the air conditioner is turned on, it is immediately occupied by two of them. The cold air blows out from inside, and Doudou is very excited, "Wow, it's so cool."
Jiang Ning is wearing Puxin's constant temperature clothes and doesn'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 away for several days, but he hasn'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 haven't broken the ice yet. It's more dangerous for the assault boat to be cut halfway."
Huo Yishen analyzed for her, "Maybe they are also waiting for the ice to be broken before coming back. It will be more troublesome if they miss it then."
What he said made sense. Jiang Ning planned to wait a little longer.
After dinner, she went back to take a nap and took out a large ice block to cool down. The air conditioner and the fan blew, and the hot air gradually cooled down. When
she woke up at around four in the afternoon, the sun was still as scorching as ever, showing no sign of weakness. It seemed to make up for the more than one year that had been lost, and kept burning the steel and concrete standing on the water.
Jiang Ning went to the balcony to take the temperature. The hot air hit her in the face. It was 43 degrees.
Looking around, the water surface was glittering, and the ice was no longer there.
Wearing a sunscreen jacket over the thermostatic suit, a hat and a mask, Jiang Ning sent the dog to 1801.
Huo Yishen was worried, "You stay at home, I'll pick them up."
Jiang Ning insisted on his own, "No, I can do it myself."
If 1803 was not 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 would not get heatstroke in the thermostatic suit.
Seeing her insistence, Huo Yishen did not force her, "Be careful when you go out."
Carrying the heavy assault boat, Jiang Ning went downstairs to the 7th floor.
The 7th floor was obviously much cooler, but the indescribable smell stung my nose.
On the water, there were all kinds of garbage bags floating up and down everywhere, which was not good for my stomach.
Jiang Ning put on two layers of masks, put the inflated assault boat into the water, and drove it skillfully.
The roaring engine attracted the attention of the survivors in the unit building.
It was the 18th floor again!
Their rubber boats were hardened and exploded directly when inflated. Why was the assault boat on the 18th floor intact?
Envy, jealousy and hatred, but everyone knew that the 18th floor was a tough guy. At most, they greeted them in their hearts, but no one dared to attack them.
The summer heat was strong, but water absorbed heat better, but it smelled bad.
Jiang Ning's idea was not wrong. There were almost no assault boats or rubber boats along the way.
First, they were damaged by freezing due to improper storage. Second, most of the survivors were hiding in their beds at home to fight the extreme cold. Who knew that it would switch to extreme heat mode overnight, and they would not go out easily.
However, there were still people trapped by the flood, and they desperately shouted and waved to Jiang Ning, hoping to be rescued.
He ignored them and flew past.
Avoiding the garbage and corpses in the water, Jiang Ning set off towards the destination at lightning speed, and it took him half an hour to reach the security patrol station where Zhang Chao and his team were.
Who knew that there were many people crowded at the door, and they waved when they saw the assault boats coming.
Jiang Ning stabilized and stopped 30 meters away.
Dozens of people crowded at the door, including security patrolmen and survivors who happened to be nearby, all asking for help.
"Little girl, we are trapped, can you give us a ride?"
They were trapped by the flood, and the city government would arrange rescue personnel, but they didn't know when they would arrive.
If Jiang Ning was kind enough to send them back, it was unknown whether the people and the raft could return home safely.
Seeing that she was unmoved, many people felt uncomfortable, "What's wrong with this person? What's wrong with giving us a ride? It won't cost us a piece of meat."
Some people were more polite, "Beauty, I'll give you half a catty of food, how about you take me home?"
"I'll give you one catty."
"I'll give you two catties."
"Beauty, take me home, you don't have a boyfriend yet, right? My brother is very handsome, let me introduce him to you."
All kinds of noise made Jiang Ning feel annoyed, and she took out a crossbow from her bag and shot.
"Wow, she has a gang, so fierce."
"No wonder she is so cold, it turns out she is quite capable."
