“We need to take precautions. Little Jia, prepare more anti-epidemic medicine and distribute it to them. Also, cook more mung bean soup for heatstroke prevention. 1 feel that the days ahead might be a little difficult.”
The sun was out. Soon, some people couldn’t take it anymore.
It wasn’t that they couldn’t stand the hot weather, but the stench of rhe sewage on the city streets.
The rotten smell was mixed with a sour smell that came from nowhere. People could even smell the faint stench that wafted in when the doors and windows were closed.
“F*ckj how can we live like this? Lt’s so smelly. It’s even worse than when the temperature was low.”
Ye Xingchen casually glanced at the official notice. It said that everyone should be aware of heatstrokes and try not to go out.
’Sigh, it’s really hard on them.”
Under the scorching sun, the city seemed to be operating again. The problem of insufficient power supply has been alleviated a lot. After all, many people were now installed with solar power. It was just that some people did not protect the solar power supply equipment when the cold wave came, causing the solar power equipment to not work.
“Sigh, how good would it be if the world returned to normal?”
Ye Xingchen scrolled through the phone and looked at the news one after another. He sighed, but he knew very well in his heart that the world would never return to normal.
Ye Xingchen was not stingy with the power supply in the safety fortress. He turned the air conditioner to the maximum and controlled the room temperature to around 24 degrees Celsius.
“Thank you for your hard work, everyone. In the future, your shift time will be shorter. How about you take turns every two hours?”
Ye Xingchen carried out the entire pot of mung bean soup that Lin Sijia had just cooked and let everyone fill it up themselves. He still cherished these people who lived with him in the safety fortress. After ail, even though he had recruited a lot of people later, Ye Xingchen only had 50 to 60 people. If some of them died accidentally, then he would have fewer people to use.
Although Qin Tianming was only a child, he was in the middle of puberty. Now, he was as tall as Mo Qi- When Ye Xingchen first saw Qin Tianming, he was much shorter than Mo Qi.
Bowls of mung bean soup were placed in everyone’s hands by Qin Tianming. Ye Xingchen looked at everyone with satisfaction, then took the mung bean soup that Lin Sijia had personally scooped and took a sip.
The temperature outside had already reached 37 degrees Celsius, which was no different from the summer temperature in Jinghai City. Ye Xingchen put down the still-hot mung bean soup in his hand and picked up his phone to look at the data displayed on the temperature monitor.
“If anyone has any needs, please let me know. 1 will try my best to satisfy everyone.”
Ye Xingchen had been living in the safety fortress for some time, and everyone was familiar with each other. It was much more harmonious than the people in Jinghua District. Everyone here sincerely treated everyone as family, except for Ye Xingchen.
All rhe entertainment facilities here had been reactivated by Ye Xingchen, but the most popular ones at this time were rhe swimming pools in the safety fortress.
Among the people Ye Xingchen recruited, there were some people with supernatural powers who were girls. They were about the same age as Lin Sijia. When Ye Xingchen walked to the pool, he happened to see Lin Sijia soaking in the water with them.
“Big Ran and Little Ran are slacking off again today, right? Later, Hl punish you guys with no dessert.”
Ye Xingchen lay down on the chair by the pool and happened to see the two girls who were sitting around Lin Sijia freeze.
“Aiya, Brother Xingchen, don’t do that. We’re going to patrol now. You’re a generous person. Don’t deduct our desserts.”
Two girls with good figures came out of the pool. Ye Xingchen suddenly felt as if he could feel Wang Mingcong’s happiness. With so many young and beautiful bodies dangling in front of him every day, just looking at them could increase his life span by a few years.
Although Chen Xiaoran and Chen Daran were cute and beautiful, they were both superpowered people. While they didn’t know how their superpowers appeared, it didn’t stop them from having the ability to control water and fire.
Even the water in this pool was created by Chen Xiaoran’s supernatural ability. This also saved a lot of time for him as he didn’t need to slowly release the water.
Lin Sijia also walked out of the pool, put on a towel, and leaned against Ye Xingchen. She also took a sip from Ye Xingchen’s straw.
“How did it go today?”
Ye Xingchen reached out and pulled Lin Sijia into his arms. Then, he glanced at the screen on his phone.
“The situation isn’t too good. It’s already 52 degrees Celsius outside.”
it had only been a week since it was 37 degrees Celsius.
Ye Xingchen had even gone out of the safety fortress today. He had just stepped out when he was almost burned by the heat wave.
The walls outside the safety fortress were so hot that they could fry eggs. Ye Xingchen had not even sent anyone to patrol outside the safety fortress for the past few days. After all, the weather was too terrifying. It was different from extreme cold. At least one could wear more clothes to keep out the cold. However, this extremely high temperature was not about wearing more clothes. If one stayed outside for even a moment longer, they could die from the heat at any time.
The problem outside was indeed serious.
In the beginning, people were still celebrating the return of warmth, even if they had no water or food.
But slowly, the temperature rose higher and higher, and the world that had restarted seemed to stop again.
The dirty water on the street had been evaporated by the scorching sun and high temperature, leaving behind only corpses and body parts strewn all over the ground, as well as an overwhelming stench. If it weren’t for the fact that Wang Mingcong’s safe fortress was located in a remote area, Ye Xingchen and the others might have smelled the stench by now.
The people in the safety fortress were always paying attention to the official situation. They all marveled at Ye Xingchen’s intelligence. He was smarter than them. He actually thought of burning all the corpses at the foot of the mountain when he realized that the temperature was not right.
When they saw the videos that were like purgatory on earth, they began to rejoice that Ye Xingchen had asked them to burn the corpses. Otherwise, they would have to smell the rotten corpses every day.
“What’s next? Do you think the plague is about to break out?”
Ye Xingchen’s expression was not relaxed. He turned his head to look at Lin Sijia, who had a similarly solemn expression..
