Before rebirth and the frozen end of the world, tens of billions of supplies were frantically stockp

Chapter 175 Variation
Turning on the detector and taking a look, Ye Xingchen saw that the outdoor temperature displayed on the temperature detector, which had been glowing with a warning red light, had reached 72 degrees Celsius.

Even Ye Xingchen had to raise the thick metal layer outside the safety fort to block the scorching sun.

There was no other way, under such direct sunlight, Ye Xingchen felt that even though the air-conditioning in the safety fort was turned on to the maximum, it was still very stuffy, and even the originally cold water in the swimming pool was baked to a little warm.

The more he listened to the news, the more Ye Xingchen frowned.

The number of people dying from heat stroke is increasing exponentially. It is obviously a rare disease in modern society, but at this time, there is a feeling of plague. Every day, countless people fall down and die due to heat stroke. .

Some of the corpses on the street were cleaned up, and no one from the official side was sent out to clean them up.

The reason is very simple, because the temperature outside is too high now. On the way when the official people came out to carry the corpses to disinfect the streets, countless staff members fell down due to heat stroke.

Medicines are in short supply, and the official side is also very short of manpower. As a last resort, the original plan was to clean up all the corpses piled up on the street and burn them together, but now we can only let people try to pile up the corpses in the corner.

Many people watched the accumulated water on the street evaporate and wanted to try their luck and come out to see if they could find some supplies. After all, the temperature has returned, but the water pipes have burst. They just want to drink water. All became a problem, because now there is no snow to quench their thirst.

But a bigger problem came up. Some people went out to find some food to take home, but after returning home, almost all those who went out suffered from heat stroke, and many of them had already suffered from heat stroke.

Many people asked the authorities for help, but there was nothing the authorities could do. After all, there were not many medicines, and those things used to cool down were as precious as food at this time. Even if they had them, they were unwilling to share them. Therefore, it can even be said that the outside is even more difficult than when it is extremely cold.

During the extreme cold, at least people can wear more clothes to keep out the cold, and they can go out to find food, but now, one is that the resources have basically been divided up by people during the extreme cold, and the other is that at this time , There are already so many people suffering from severe heat stroke, who would rather die than go out to find food.

And there is something more serious than heat stroke.

Because there are more or less residual corpses piled up in the streets of the city, large and small, and those corpses have begun to rot and ferment in the hot weather. Leaving aside bacteria and viruses, this smell has attracted many people. s things.

The plants and trees were already damaged by frost during the extreme cold, and the frozen plants have already become dry and brittle after being soaked in floods and exposed to the scorching sun.

The rustling sound came from the dry branches and dead leaves, and then a large group of mice chirped out from the ground, gnawing on the scattered corpses in the city.

Ye Xingchen couldn't see these scenes. After all, his cameras were only installed around the Jinghua Community, not all the streets and alleys, and the location of the Jinghua Community is relatively good. After all, it is near the school area, so this The environmental sanitation on the side is also very good, so the rats haven't run into the range that Ye Xingchen can see at this time.

Pieces of mice and insects came from all directions and scattered in every corner of the city.

The two extreme temperatures of extreme cold and extreme heat wiped out many of their populations, but not enough to make them extinct.

Especially cockroaches and mice, which are extremely tenacious creatures, have already undergone their first evolution in the extreme cold to adapt to the extremely cold weather.

And shortly after the extreme heat started, their genes changed again.

The lack of food and extreme weather forced them to eat their own kind, and then evolved again.

If Ye Xingchen could see them at this time, he would find that the size of the rats roaming the streets was twice the size before, and the rats were even as big as a cat now.

The same is true for cockroaches. The previous cockroaches were half the size of a palm, but now they have evolved to the size of a palm.

A dense brown and black ocean, so spectacular.

People in the city have already started opening doors to catch these fat rats.

Compared with the unpleasant smell of these mice, the rotten smell from the corpses was even more unpleasant. Therefore, after comparing them, they didn't feel how dirty these mice were. Instead, they looked at these mice. The body is strong, the hair is black and thick, and it looks very plump.

But they in Jinghai City are already better than people in most places.

This is a city near the sea, and many people near the sea have already gone to ship seawater.

When water is cut off on such a large scale around the world, the only seawater has become something that everyone is scrambling to buy.

The most difficult part of the extremely hot days was at noon and afternoon. Ye Xingchen looked at the temperature monitor, and the temperature was basically maintained between 72 degrees Celsius and 74 degrees Celsius.

In the beginning, some people went out under the scorching sun regardless of the high temperature, but those who went out were roasted alive and died outside after a short walk.

The temperature at night is relatively low. Although it is still more than 50 degrees at night, it is still much better than the temperature at noon. At least you can try it for a short time at this time. After all, people You can go without food for several days, but you cannot go without water for several days.

Many people living along the coast have discovered the value of sea water, so many people from other places have begun to come to Jinghai City.

After all, this is one of the coastal cities, with mountains and seas.

In addition to sea water, there is another very important material-seafood.

When it was extremely cold before, everyone couldn’t go out. The temperature on the seaside was extremely cold. Even the sea near the land was covered with a thick layer of ice. As a result, even if someone thought of seafood at that time, they could satisfy their hunger, but No one went out to fish.

Because at that time there was no fishing at all.

But it's different now, the temperature has picked up now, the ice layer on the sea surface has already melted, and the seaside that Ye Xingchen can't see has already begun to become lively.
