Reborn: I Stock Up and Bully the Trash to Dominate the Apocalypse

After a few days, even the most optimistic people noticed that something was wrong.

Because the weather is getting hotter and hotter, the temperature is rising very fast, abnormally fast.

The temperature rose from over 20 degrees at the beginning to over 30 degrees, and then to over 40 degrees.

In previous years, when the temperature reached 40 degrees Celsius, people had to stay in air-conditioned rooms all the time. However, in summer, such high temperatures only lasted for one or two weeks, and the rest of the time it was below 40 degrees Celsius.

However, the high temperature of 43 degrees has lasted for three days, and the temperature is still rising.

The service hall and community property management used loudspeakers a few days ago to inform people to stay at home as much as possible. The temperature was rising too quickly and going out might cause heatstroke.

I don’t know if it’s good news, but the water level has receded another two meters.

Now, the fourth floor has been completely exposed and the top of the third floor has also been exposed.

The top floor was especially hot. Since the Zhou and Qi families both had generators, they were willing to use electricity and kept the air conditioner on.

A child like Mu Mu who sweats a lot will feel very uncomfortable without air conditioning. No matter what he does, he will be sweating in a short time.

The Zhou family has sufficient water resources, so it’s okay to take a few more baths a day.

But other families have no air conditioning or electric fans, and there is a shortage of water, making even taking a shower difficult. You can imagine how difficult their lives are.

Although the Zhou family has abundant water resources, they do not waste water.

Nowadays, with temperatures exceeding 40 degrees Celsius, there is no need to heat the water. Two small inflatable swimming pools are placed on the rooftop, which are just big enough for two adults to lie in.

Zhou Shuwan and his mother swim in the same swimming pool, while Mu Mu and his father swim in the same swimming pool.

Fill up the water and it will be warmed by the sun in a short time.

This is when Zhou Shuwan began to use her space. She used it to move the swimming pool indoors.

Even when placed indoors, the water in the pool is just the right temperature.

If it’s too hot, just take a quick shower downstairs and then the whole family can go upstairs and soak in the swimming pool, which is the best way to cool down.

Mu Mu was the one who had the most fun playing in the water. He kept splashing around in the water like a landlubber.

Zhou Jianghai brought up a few bottles of ice-cold beer from the refrigerator downstairs, handed one to everyone except Mu Mu, then half-lying in the swimming pool, took a sip, and sighed comfortably: "Oh, this is a fairy-tale day!"

He looked at Zhong Tiyun and said, "Tiyun, I suggest you quit working in that vegetable greenhouse. It's so hot out there, it's really a torture!"

Zhong Tiyun would stay in the vegetable greenhouse for more than an hour during the day, and it was indeed very hot and stuffy.

She thought about it, then shook her head. "Let's wait a little longer. The community has already figured out how to install solar power generation equipment in our place. With the addition of air conditioning, it'll be easier to bear inside. Maybe it'll be even more bearable than other people's homes!"

There are only a handful of houses in the entire community that have solar power generation equipment.

Previously, when the temperature was suitable, vegetable greenhouses did not need to install temperature regulators, but now, allowing plants to grow one more day can increase yields a little more.

Therefore, the community is now trying every possible way to install solar panels in the vegetable greenhouse.

Even if you can't install an air conditioner, it would be good to install an electric fan and control the wind direction.

Zhou Jianghai looked outside and murmured, "It would be great if the floodwaters receded completely. The temperature is so high, it's best to hide in the basement."

In my previous life in the south, when the weather was hot, many people did hide in basements or underground garages.

It can be at least ten degrees lower than on the ground.

But that was after the flood receded.

Now, there is still three-story-high floodwater on the ground, and no one dares to live in the basement.

Even Qi Mingyu might not be willing to hide in his basement where countless supplies were stored.

Zhong Tiyun listened to Zhou Shuwan talk about some methods she used to avoid high temperatures in her past life. After thinking for a while, she sighed, "Even if the flood completely recedes, there are no underground parking spaces in our community! Where can we go?"

Apartments with underground garages are all elevator apartments in the new district.

The elevator building is now overcrowded, and there is no room for the survivors of the old community like them.

Zhou Shuwan also had a plan for this, so she comforted her parents: "It's okay, Dad, Mom, let's wait until the flood recedes. We can live here forever. We have air conditioning, food, and water. As long as we don't go out, we will be more comfortable living in our own home!"

This comfort was indeed useful, and Zhou Jianghai and Zhong Tiyun felt relieved.

Three days later, the temperature rose to 46 degrees and the flood receded another two meters.

This is an unprecedented high temperature.

Zhong Tiyun came back from working in the vegetable greenhouse and said that two elderly people in the community fainted because they couldn't bear the heat and died on the way to the hospital.

She sighed, "There's one we know, Aunt Han from the unit next door. She's almost 80 years old this year, and she's always been in good health."

Zhou Jianghai patted Mu Mu's little head and said, "Mu Mu, it's too hot now. Don't dare to run out casually."

In extreme weather conditions, the first ones to be unable to withstand it are the elderly and children.

Mu Mu nodded seriously.

"Mom, when I went there today, I saw that the air conditioners had been installed. How about it?" When Zhou Shuwan sent her mother to work, she saw that a set of solar panels had been installed on the floor outside the vegetable greenhouse, and the air conditioners and electric fans inside were being installed.

At that time, Zhong Tiyun was very happy and thought that she could use air conditioning today.

She is now wearing the constant temperature clothing that Zhou Shuwan brought back from the research institute. There are only a few sets of constant temperature clothing, all with matching long-sleeved shirts and long pants, but Zhou Shuwan also brought back a roll of constant temperature cloth.

It was strange to wear long sleeves in the hot summer weather, so Zhong Tiyun used the roll of constant temperature cloth she brought with her to make several short-sleeved shirts, one for each person in the family. After wearing them, the perceived temperature really dropped to around 14 degrees, so even if people stayed in the greenhouse, it was not that unbearable.

Zhong Tiyun smiled and said, "After the air conditioner was installed, we tried it out. It's pretty good, and the temperature inside can be reduced by at least 7 or 8 degrees. It's just that the vegetable greenhouse is too big, so the air conditioner doesn't work very well. After installing a few large fans to get the air flowing, it's much better than the original stuffy state."

Zhou Shuwan said seriously, "Mom, we don't lack supplies at home. If you want to come back, just come home and rest. Don't get a heat stroke just for that salary. It's not worth it!"

Zhou Jianghai also nodded in agreement: "Yes, I say you should stop doing that job. It's impossible to go out every day in this weather!"

Zhong Tiyun thought for a moment and said, "I'll hold on for a while longer. Now that we have air conditioning, it's not that hard. I take care of at least one-third of the vegetables in the greenhouse. They're like my own children. I won't leave until they're ripe and ripe."

She didn't have any other thoughts, she just thought it was nice to be able to go to work near her home every day.

"What are you growing in your greenhouses now?"
