Chapter 15 The Heat Rising
……

After dinner, it was rare for Zhao Xi to turn on the tablet and watch dramas leisurely.

From the moment he started hoarding goods, Zhao Xi's daily life has become extremely regular.

Now she wakes up at about four o'clock in the morning, washes, eats, goes out to the morning market, and arrives home at about six o'clock, and then starts exercising until almost noon. After lunch, she rests for half an hour and continues exercising.

Have dinner at six o'clock, then take out a small notebook to check for omissions and make up for vacancies, and see what supplies need to be bought, and then go to bed at eight o'clock.

In this way, you can basically maintain eight hours of sleep at night, and rest for half an hour at noon, so you won't feel tired after a day.

Zhao Xi felt that this kind of schedule was very good, and there was also a reason for rejecting Wang Qingqing's invitation. She didn't want to suddenly change her current schedule.For Zhao Xi, time is getting tighter and she doesn't want to waste time.

The morning market the next day was still full of people, but this time it was Zhao Xi who came alone. The two people at the opposite door came back in the middle of the night yesterday. They must have been drunk and had a row in the corridor for a while. The sound woke up Zhao Xi .

Naturally they couldn't get up at this moment.

Zhao Xi carried two big bags home as usual, but, I don't know if it was her illusion, Zhao Xi looked at the sun that had risen to a high altitude, and the temperature seemed to be a little hotter.

Today she went out wearing a long-sleeved hooded sweater. Normally, she wouldn't feel hot, but at this moment Zhao Xi had already rolled up the sleeves of the sweater, and there seemed to be a few drops of sweat on her forehead...

Facts have proved that Zhao Xi's feeling was correct. For the next three days, the temperature became hotter and hotter every day. She went out every morning, changing from a sweater to a single shirt, and then to short sleeves. The sun became more and more glaring. , Zhao Xi only took one look at the sun, and his eyes hurt, and he didn't dare to take a second look.

"thump--"

"Ah, someone fainted! Everyone, come and see!!!"

"It's okay, he's suffering from heat stroke, hurry up, everyone, carry him to a cool place first, and let him cool down first."

Hearing that it was just heat stroke, several passing uncles kindly stood up and carried him to a cool place.

Some fanned the wind, some fed water, and after a while, the fainted young man woke up faintly...

In the next few days, such scenes happened more and more frequently outside.

The weather is getting hotter and hotter. Except for the short night when the temperature is slightly lower, once the sun comes out during the day, the air is not cool.

Under the high temperature, the power system was the first to be unable to withstand it. Many high-voltage lines spontaneously ignited due to high temperature, causing power outages in many places in City A.

Maintenance masters can only work very hard every day and night to repair and overhaul.

As the temperature is getting higher and higher, City A begins to limit power by region.It is stipulated that the incoming call time of each area is 15 hours a day, and the power is cut off for the other nine hours.

With such a high temperature and limited electricity, the contents of the refrigerator will easily deteriorate.

Zhao Xi glanced at the single-door refrigerator in the living room. It was specially placed by her. In order to facilitate cooking outside, the refrigerator also contained food and drink that would be used on weekdays.

The temperature rose further in the next few days, and the power cut-off time in each area of ​​City A rose from nine hours to twelve hours, and then to the latest sixteen hours.

Under the high temperature, food prices have risen further. Vegetables and fruits have been sold at sky-high prices. Supermarkets no longer sell them, and other heat-relieving products such as electric fans have also been sold out.

The morning market was closed two days ago due to the high temperature, and the business hours of the supermarket were adjusted to nighttime, which was only a short seven or eight hours at night, which caused the supermarket to be overcrowded every day, and people entering the supermarket formed a long queue every day...
