Traveling through the new apocalyptic era

Chapter 4 4- Extremely hot weather begins

Yin Ling returned the house she rented near the university town. She didn't have anything, so she packed it into the space and took it away. It was because it was inconvenient to live in a dormitory that she rented a house to facilitate her practice. She returned to the villa with only a backpack.

The single-family villa is relatively far away, surrounded by green trees, and has good privacy. Although the neighbors may know that the tenant has moved out and the owner's house has been renovated for half a month, Yin Ling rarely comes in and out, and occasionally encounters people in the community. She didn't know the residents when she arrived, so she basically didn't say hello. She only knew the information registered by the property management and neighborhood committee.

The weather is getting hotter and hotter, and Yin Ling rarely goes out. She is at home every day and cooks in the morning. Yes, she is stocking up on cooked food. She bought several large-capacity rice cookers, cooks rice non-stop every day, and then puts it into a Put the meat and vegetables you bought before into the space in a lunch box, chop it, chop it, make buns and dumplings, steam it and cook it, put it in the space for easy consumption later, anyway, it is not idle, and at the same time, she will Collect delicious food online and order dozens or hundreds of takeaways.

In the afternoon, she exercised and practiced swordsmanship in a large room on the third floor that she had transformed into a gym. Because of the lack of spiritual liquid, she could only meditate and practice when the spiritual liquid was produced, and exercised by herself the rest of the time.

However, within a week, Yin Ling felt the heat of the sun as soon as she went out. When she turned on her mobile phone, it showed 55 degrees. She went out less in the past few days and did not feel much change indoors. As soon as she went out, she realized that the temperature was already so high. .

Go back inside, close the door, and turn on your phone. The Internet is full of news about high temperatures. Many office workers are complaining about having to go to work in such high temperatures. There are constant reports of traffic accidents, fires, heat strokes, etc. caused by high temperatures. Hospitals are full. Problems such as rising prices and reduced food production are constantly exposed.

Related matters were discussed in various groups, and there were a lot of messages, but the groups were all blocked by her, so she was too excited to cook at home these days and didn't pay attention to these messages at all.

Taking a deep breath, Yin Ling finally waited for this day. She had no time to mourn the spring and autumn, so she ran to the kitchen and started cooking. Today she made cold skin. She learned it from the Internet and she had all the ingredients.

When the temperature dropped a little in the evening, Yin Ling went shopping in her car. She bought the car when she was stocking up on groceries, and got her driver's license at the driving school next to the school in her freshman year. No matter how many things she has hoarded now, in the eyes of outsiders, she But she hasn't been out for a week, and where is the food and drink coming from, so she has to go out to do some shopping.

After passing the gate and saying hello to the security guard at the security booth, I drove straight to the largest supermarket nearby. I finally found a parking space. When I arrived at the supermarket, I found that there was a long queue. Not only the checkout queue, but also the queue to enter. The queue at the supermarket has reached the door of the clothing store next door.

Everyone came out with large and small bags. Yin Ling waited in line for half an hour before going in. The fresh fruits and vegetables were basically sold out, and the most leftovers were snacks. Yin Ling pushed the shopping cart and took two boxes. I got some mineral water, biscuits, bread, noodles, rice and flour, and filled the shopping cart before going to check out.

When we were queuing up to check out, there was an aunt in front of us who quarreled with the salesperson. It was just that the price was twice as expensive as usual. The aunt was not happy when she saw the bill, so the two sides started arguing. Finally, the manager came over and just said that he didn't want to buy it if it was too expensive. , other customers just watched silently and could not help much. The most important thing is to buy things and take them home.

After Yin Ling paid the bill and took her things back to the car, she walked around the mall again. The stores were basically open, but there was very little traffic. Yin Ling saw a nut shop and went in to buy a lot. She was happy The boss keeps promoting.The business of the preserved fruit shop next door is much better. The price of fresh fruits has increased and is difficult to store. Although the price of dried fruits is not low, it is durable and delicious and is loved by many people. Yin Ling also joined in the fun and bought a lot of them as snacks. .

It's been two hours since I got home. I washed off all the sweat, opened a watermelon, and watched variety shows with the air conditioner blowing on to relax.

There are also constant messages in the community group. The neighborhood committee asked her to join the group when she came back to register, saying it was convenient for notification of news.

The messages in the group are also mixed. Some complained that the circuits in their homes were burned out because of the hot weather. Others complained about the rising prices and poor quality of things. There were also reports that there were too many people in the hospital and many elderly people died of complications from heatstroke.Yin Ling's eyes lit up. She had been preparing supplies recently, but she had forgotten to collect the spirit body. She had no other intentions, and she would not actively harm others or expect others to die for the sake of space. She just happened to meet him.

After finishing the watermelon quickly, Yin Ling put on a make-up, put on a curly hair, and took a taxi to the far away city hospital, the largest public hospital in Yunling City. Because she often stays near the hospital, she usually makes some simple disguises. Otherwise, it is easy for doctors, nurses, and even patients and their families to become familiar with the hospital.

Arriving directly at the emergency room, Yin Ling squatted in the corner of the gate. Every new patient would pass through this gate. She could judge the patient's survival time by observing the patient's breath. She has been practicing this technology for more than ten years. of perfection.

As ambulances came in one after another, Yin Ling also ran in and out, squatting outside the operating room like a family member of the patient, waiting for the results.

From night to day, the emergency room was inactive all night, and Yin Ling didn't rest all night. There was a major traffic accident in the middle, with a very high mortality rate. Yin Ling's gains in this night were comparable to those in the previous three or four days.

After finding a hotel near the hospital and looking at the two extra drops of spiritual fluid in the space, Yin Ling felt that the busy night was worth it.

She drank the spirit liquid directly and began to meditate and practice. Nothing was more important than improving her cultivation. What's more, the world was going to be in chaos, and she, a single and weak woman, had to have some means to save her life.

In just two hours, Yin Ling digested the two drops of spiritual liquid and stored it in his body. He became visibly more energetic, without any side effects of staying up late. He ate something in the small restaurant downstairs, and then ran to the hospital to start guarding. .

Over the past week, the temperature has been getting higher and higher, and the death toll has been rising rapidly, but Yin Ling discovered something strange.

She found that the spirit body's existence time had become longer. In the past, the spirit body only existed for a few minutes after death, but now, she found that the spirit body could exist for more than half an hour.

The reason was that she saw a patient pulled in at the door of the hospital. He had died on the way after resuscitation failed, but his spirit body had not dissipated. It had been at least 10 minutes since he arrived at the hospital. Yin Ling did not collect him immediately, but followed him for a while. It took about 10 minutes for the spirit body to disintegrate and disappear.

Then she tested other spirits, and each lasted for more than half an hour. She didn't know what this meant, but there was a sense of crisis lingering in her heart, which only made her more eager to collect spirits.

The good thing about the longer spirit bodies is that she can collect more spirits. She doesn't have to just guard the emergency department. She also has time to rotate in other departments.
