When the temperature rises to 50 degrees, people's lives become very difficult.
It was equally hot inside and outside the house, and people would sweat profusely in a short time if they just sat still.
The water supply remains the same as before, but in hot weather, people's demand for water resources is higher, and even if the water is used sparingly, it is not enough.
The good news is that the floodwaters have receded to the first floor, and the ground has been exposed in the higher ground to the north.
Uncle Zhong and the others were a little worried about the water tanks hidden deep in the mountains. With such high temperatures, most of the water would probably evaporate.
But now the temperature is too high during the day, so people rarely go out. They only go out in the early morning and evening when the weather is a little cooler.
There is nothing you can do even if you are worried. The water in those water tanks is not for use in hot weather, but for use during the drought period when water is even scarcer.
The time for distributing relief food by the supermarket ship has also been changed to 8-10 pm. It is close to the community and there are soldiers on duty patrolling with guns, so it is still very safe along the way.
The vegetable greenhouse has been closed. Even though Director Wu has reported the cactus planting plan, large-scale cactus planting is difficult and seeds are not easy to obtain.
So, after the last batch of vegetables was harvested, Zhong Tiyun officially rested at home.
Dad Zhou installed an air conditioner in the kitchen, and the whole family no longer eats in the dining room, but has moved to the kitchen.
When cooking and eating, I turn on the air conditioner in the kitchen, and turn it off after eating and go back to the master bedroom.
Just walking back and forth from the master bedroom to the dining room would make me sweat profusely.
Except for opening the windows for half an hour in the morning to ventilate the house, the Zhou family draws the thick curtains at other times to avoid sunlight refraction as much as possible.
In fact, when the Zhou family was renovating their house, they installed insulation cotton on both the upper and lower floors, and the insulation effect was already very strong compared to other houses.
But even so, it is very unbearable without turning on the air conditioner.
But Zhou Shuwan insisted on turning on the air conditioner at home for only two hours at night.
Both parents and Mu Mu must slowly adapt to the various extreme weather conditions after the apocalypse. Only in this way can their physical fitness be improved and they can live better in the apocalypse.
In the previous life, the physical fitness of people who were able to live for eight years in the apocalypse had changed significantly compared to humans before the apocalypse.
They are more heat-resistant, cold-resistant, and more resistant to attacks by various viruses. They don't get sick easily and have stronger adaptability to the environment!
Later, scientists studied and said that although the end of the world caused large-scale deaths and even genocide.
But from another perspective, humans are evolving slowly.
In various extreme weather conditions, people with poor physical fitness were quickly eliminated, while those whose physical fitness gradually improved and who could adapt to various natural disasters survived.
In the end of the world, there are not only disasters brought by extreme weather, but also the invasion of viruses.
Toxic water during floods, thermal radiation under high temperatures, thirst during droughts, a minor cold during extreme cold... are all the main causes of human death.
But for humans who can survive seven or eight years in the apocalypse, these things will no longer cause death.
Therefore, Zhou Shuwan and his family must gradually adapt their bodies to various extreme weather conditions.
If they only care about enjoying comfort now, a small cough in the future may plunge their family into disaster.
Zhou Shuwan also told Qi Mingyu this theory.
The latter was always worried about his grandmother's health, and the air conditioner in the master bedroom was running day and night for fear that his grandmother would get sick.
But what Zhou Shuwan said made a lot of sense.
He also followed the Zhou family's example and kept the air conditioner on when the temperature was high during the day, and turned it off at night when it was time to go to bed, so that he and his grandmother could gradually adapt to the hot weather.
Half a month later, the temperature rose to 55 degrees Celsius. Many people could not adapt to such a high temperature. Even if they stayed at home, their bodies were unable to resist and they died one after another.
During this period, riots broke out in some communities due to the high temperature.
Unable to bear the high temperature, young and middle-aged people gathered together, armed with various weapons, rushed into the homes or properties of people with solar panels, drove out the people inside, and occupied the houses themselves.
But there are too few families who can turn on the air conditioner. Even the property management office has a small space and cannot accommodate too many people.
Hot-headed and furious people will not calm down, so they smash all the solar equipment and air conditioners with hammers, with the mentality of "If I don't have a good life, no one will have a good life either."
Some people also rushed directly to the survivors' apartments and tried to break in with weapons.
The air-conditioned place that now accommodates the largest population is the survivor apartment.
The people living there are all elderly people, women and children, and they pose no threat at all.
At this time, the patrol soldiers arranged by Mayor Lu came into play.
There were not many soldiers deployed in each building, only more than 20, but all of them were armed with guns, tear gas, submachine guns and other hot weapons.
After only the first round of shooting, the group of people who were shouting the loudest and rushing in the front convulsed and fell down. The attackers seemed to have been awakened by a sudden splash of ice water on their heads. Fear appeared on their faces, and they hesitated and soon retreated like the tide.
However, when the survivors' apartment was attacked, Zhou Shuwan and Qi Mingyu had no time to pay attention.
Because several of their families also faced an attack.
There was a man named Zheng Changqing, who was about forty years old and lived in the Dongyuan community. He had been secretly watching the Zhou and Qi families for a long time. He climbed to the roof of his house and observed them carefully with a telescope for many days. Gradually, he concluded that the Zhou and Qi families lived a very good life. Not just good, but it could be described as comfortable.
Whether it is eating, wearing, or using things, it seems that there is no difference from before the end of the world.
At least the people from both families were not as skinny as the others. They were still energetic, with light in their eyes, and were dressed decently and cleanly.
You can tell at a glance that they have no shortage of food and drink.
Before the high temperature disaster came, Zheng Changqing actually didn't dare to do anything. Zhou Shuwan and Qi Mingyu were well-known in the entire community for their skills. When they fought off Dong Jianhua's men, they killed two-thirds of them. Later, they joined the extremely difficult-to-enter water protection team, so people knew their abilities.
He just observed secretly and felt jealous in his heart.
However, with the arrival of hot weather, life is becoming more and more difficult.
The other party's home has complete solar power generation equipment and unlimited air conditioning.
He felt more and more unbalanced, and even imagined countless times that he would bring a group of people to the two homes to enjoy the air conditioning and delicious food.
After his youngest son died of fever, he could no longer control himself.
He felt like there was a little person in his head screaming and yelling, telling him to kill people in revenge, to rob the Zhou and Qi families, and let them taste the pain he had suffered!
