Han Yi's excitement and pride did not last long.
When he stepped out of the space with the supplies contentedly and returned to his own doomsday, the smile on his face froze in just a moment.
“Something’s wrong!”
He had only been in the space for about an hour, but the temperature in the apocalypse had suddenly risen by more than one level compared to before he left!
The sunlight was no longer the warm one it once was. Instead, it was like a red-hot iron, pressing heavily on him and hitting his skin with a vicious pain.
The exposed skin felt a burning sensation almost instantly, as if it was about to be ignited.
Under the scorching heat, the air seemed to be twisted upwards by evaporation, and the air around it quickly became extremely hot and humid, with a suffocating dryness in every breath.
What shocked Han Yi even more was that this damn temperature was still rising at a speed visible to the naked eye!
He turned his head suddenly and looked at the small thermometer hanging on the rearview mirror inside the SUV - the red liquid column was crawling upwards one by one without hesitation!
Han Yi's brows instantly twisted into a knot, and the joy on his face had long disappeared, replaced by solemnity and horror.
This weird weather...is definitely not a good sign!
Without hesitation, he thought about it and took back all the supplies he had just received from Yu Bai into the space.
The supplies were put back into the space in almost an instant. Han Yi didn't even have time to wipe the sweat from his forehead before he rushed into the building that temporarily served as the base's living area and command center.
As soon as he stepped into the relatively cool hall, several anxious-looking team members surrounded him.
"Captain! You're finally back!"
A young team member in charge of security spoke first, his voice full of obvious panic.
"This weather is weird! The temperature is rising like crazy! And... and Brother Lei and Lin Rui led the team out to hunt zombies, and there's still no news!"
Another person added anxiously, "Yeah, Boss, we've called through the communicator, but there's been no response. In this awful weather, is anything going to happen?"
Han Yi's brows instantly twisted into a deeper knot, even more solemn than when he was outside just now.
His eyes, sharp as an eagle's, honed in the apocalypse, swept across everyone's anxious faces, and the uneasiness in his heart grew stronger.
Years of struggling to survive in the apocalypse have made him extremely sensitive to subtle changes in the environment.
This sudden, unpredictable extreme heat wave was definitely not a good thing! His intuition was frantically warning him that this wasn't just a temporary anomaly, but the prelude to a far more horrific disaster that would persist for quite some time, or even... get worse!
"Zheng Sisi!" Han Yi's voice suddenly rose, penetrating the somewhat noisy hall.
Zheng Sisi heard the voice and quickly walked up to him: "Captain Han, I'm here!"
Han Yi stared at her with sharp eyes and spoke very quickly.
“I suspect the high temperatures will continue and may even get worse.”
"You must immediately organize the staff. First, move all the elderly, children, and weak team members to a relatively well-ventilated room on the fourth floor and keep them under close watch!"
"Second, the security on the first floor cannot be relaxed, but rotations must be arranged to avoid prolonged exposure to heatstroke!"
"Third, you will personally lead the logistics team and immediately start making mung bean soup and preparing iced drinks. Use all the ice and cooling mats you can get!"
After a pause, he added, "I'm going to find Lei Zhennan and the others. We must get them to withdraw as soon as possible!"
"Yes! Captain Han!" Zheng Sisi said without any hesitation, her eyes firm.
After finishing his explanation, Han Yi said no more, turned around and strode out of the building.
The rough roar of the off-road vehicle's engine soon sounded, and then it disappeared in a cloud of steaming heat.
Zheng Sisi took a deep breath and quickly adjusted her mood. Her clear and powerful voice echoed in the hall.
"Everyone, please pay attention! The elderly and children should be relocated to the fourth floor immediately! The security team should rotate and take precautions against heatstroke and heatstroke! Logistics team, follow me to inventory supplies, make mung bean soup, and prepare ice water and cold drinks. Hurry!"
For a moment, although everyone in the base was in panic due to the sudden heat, under Zheng Sisi's orderly command, everyone acted quickly.
Children were guided upstairs first, and the elderly also supported each other and kept up.
Although the team members on guard were sweating profusely, they still stayed at their posts, but the frequency of rotation was significantly increased.
Zheng Sisi brought the logistics staff and quickly moved mung beans and sugar out of the warehouse, set up a big pot and started cooking.
At the same time, essential heatstroke first aid medicines such as Huoxiang Zhengqi Water, Ren Dan, and Qingliang Oil stored in the base were also quickly counted out to ensure that if anyone felt unwell, they could receive treatment as soon as possible.
After the initial panic, the entire base quickly entered a tense and orderly emergency state.
