Chapter 8 End Times

On the 16th day of the apocalyptic outbreak, the temperature was 55°C.

Tomorrow is supposed to be the National Day holiday celebrated by the whole country. It is estimated that many people have made travel plans and can only stay at home now.

In the past two days, more and more live broadcast bloggers have become popular, and more and more people have fallen down.

Jiang Yuan heard the concept of 'heat stroke' for the first time.

All news programs are urging people not to go out during the day and try not to go out at night. Now working from home is mandatory.

However, the official ignored one thing. The temperature reached 55℃, and the surface temperature during the day must be at least 70℃.

70℃, what is the concept?
Even if you put your hand in the sun, it will be burned easily. Reporters wearing sun protection suits are still dutifully telling everyone not to ignore official information and not to go out.

The video software reprinted it like crazy. Because of the hot weather, the families of people who contracted heat stroke were crying in the hospital, and all they got was a "sorry" from the doctor!
While watching, my mother muttered: "It's so pitiful. Let's not go out. We need to keep an eye on Xiao Nuan and not go to a sunny place."

The bedrooms at home had curtains drawn, but not the living room. My mother dried a lot of dried vegetables in the little space at home.

There was also a lot of sunshine on the terrace, and there was also dried meat.

Although she bought a lot, she decided to store more while she could still buy fresh ones.

Many owners in the community have installed sunscreen nets, which they bought through online chat in the group. Jiang Yuan also bought some before, but because she didn’t want to stand out, she didn’t install them.

The Internet is not silent either. In the past 200 years, the temperature has never been so high, and two opinions have been promoted the most.

One is the punishment theory of nature: it is nothing more than human beings wantonly destroying the ecological balance, causing repeated weather, rising global temperatures, and how small and vulnerable human beings are...

The other is eschatology: Extremely hot weather is no longer suitable for human survival, and this heat is global in nature. Humanity is likely to experience a major reshuffle, just like the extinction of the dinosaurs.

The post was highly hyped, and there were a lot of followers. It already had 24 likes.

Many people are wishing for good health below, and some say that the poster is unfounded. Of course, there are also many people who advise everyone to stock up on supplies in case of emergencies.

The WeChat group messages are also 99+. She has several community groups here, including the owners group of Building 13, the Cainiao Station group, the decoration mutual aid group, the group purchasing group for community items, etc.

Everyone complained about the high temperature from the beginning, but now they are a little numb.

If you can go to work, that's fine. If you can't, then your mortgage and car loan will be a problem. The collapse of an adult can be determined overnight.

The temperature at night was still around [-] degrees. Regardless of the heat, Jiang Yuan applied sunscreen all over her body and went out with her father.

Xiao Nuan stayed at home with her mother. The weather was so weird and children's resistance was not very good, so it was safer to stay at home.

She didn’t know if the apocalyptic remarks had an effect, but she always felt that there were many more people in the supermarket tonight, and it was noisy as soon as she entered. It seemed that the central air conditioner was not as cool as it was.

Dad pointed to the price tags and showed her that many things had increased slightly in price. Jiang Yuan knew that this was not a good sign.

The two of them didn't care about Sanqi 21 and just took what they could. Jiang Xingzhi was mainly responsible for fresh fruits and vegetables, while Jiang Yuan went to buy some dry goods, snacks, canned goods and the like.

Buy more now and get more protection later.

Many people have this idea. Fortunately, they came out early. Now the supermarket is crowded with people, and the checkout line is also a mess.

They use a self-checkout machine, which is much faster.

After leaving the supermarket, the two of them split up.

This is a large comprehensive shopping mall that sells other things besides supermarkets.The first and second floors are mainly shopping areas.

The third and fourth floors are food areas.

There are also children's playgrounds and movie theaters on the fifth and sixth floors.

Jiang Yuan went directly to the second floor. Compared with the crowds of people in the supermarket, it was extremely depressed.

There was no need to buy any more clothes, shoes, and daily necessities. I went to a maternal and child store and bought some milk powder and children's snacks, as well as children's books, phones, watches, and so on.

Mom said that the weather is too hot and bacteria can easily breed.

Children use different things than adults. Jiang Yuan bought all the children's toilet water, mosquito repellent bracelets, children's soap, and hand sanitizer in the store.

In addition, the ones I stocked up before have been used for ten years without any problems except for failure.

In addition to children, adults cannot be spared.This kind of stuff is available in boutique stores, so you don’t have to go to the drugstore.

But I didn’t buy too much, after all, it will expire after three to five years.

I bought a lot online before, and I hope to stock up more for convenience in the future.

After finishing these, I went to the third floor to buy twenty cups of milk tea. Taking advantage of the girl's break, I visited a bakery and a delicious duck neck shop.

Starting from tomorrow, they won't go out. Although these things have a short shelf life, buy them if you can. After all, there will be no chance in the future.

Jiang Xingzhi also packed more than 20 dishes, and the boss enthusiastically helped them take them downstairs.

Because they were carrying four big bags of things they just bought in the supermarket, plus so much food, it was really hard for the two of them.

The reason why I didn't put my things in the car first was because I was afraid.

Although public security is still guaranteed now, the van is too easy to pry, and thieves cannot take advantage of the things they worked so hard to steal.

I went to the gas station to fill up the tank again. The price of gas has risen to 20 yuan per liter, which is a full double increase. Fortunately, the mailbox of Shenche is small, so it doesn’t take much to fill up.

They were still walking to the underground garage, and the elevator stopped on the first floor, which meant that they were about to encounter someone. They had no choice but to come back too early today, which was the time when a large number of people were active.

Two aunts, a young man, and a dog came up.

Jiang Yuan instinctively stepped back because she was afraid of dogs. She always felt that the way the dog opened its mouth was too fierce, as if it was about to pounce and bite in the next second.

And this dog is too big, so I can’t tell what breed it is, but why is it not tied on a leash? This is a bit too different...

The two aunties leisurely complained about the hot weather and the supermarkets that were taking advantage of the situation and the prices of many things had increased.

One person went down from the fifteenth and sixteenth floors respectively, and now there is still a masked man and the dog in the elevator.

Hey, why didn't he click on the floor? Jiang Yuan was horrified. Could it be that their abnormality was discovered.

This guy was wearing gray sweatpants and short sleeves, and the muscles on his abdomen and arms were looming.

If a fight breaks out, both she and her father will probably have to take a break.

Just as he was thinking about it, the elevator arrived, and the man pulled the dog out of the elevator. While Jiang Yuan was stunned, he suddenly turned his head: "Do you need help?"
