"Could it be the rescue team?"

Manager Dang stood up instinctively, an excited expression on his face.

He had called 110 and 119 for help when the power went out around noon.

Although they replied that they understood and said they would send someone over as soon as possible, there has been no further action.

Upon hearing Manager Dang's words, everyone else present looked as if they had been saved!

However, to everyone's surprise, what appeared in front of them was not the so-called rescue team, but seven or eight burly men who were quite strong.

Using the light of the emergency escape lamp, Zhang Mingyuan immediately recognized the person as A Biao, who was in charge of security at Mingyuan Group.

However, Ah Biao's appearance at this moment was truly pitiful.

He and his security guards were all stripped down to their shorts, their skin peeling and red from sunburn.

"Ah Biao, what... what happened to you?"

Zhang Mingyuan stepped forward, somewhat at a loss for words.

"Young Master, I... I've finally seen you..."

Ah Biao was panting heavily.

Upon seeing the bottled water next to Zhang Mingyuan, he forgot all about talking, quickly grabbed it, and gulped it down.

The other security guards also grabbed a few bottles of mineral water and started drinking them voraciously.

After they calmed down a bit, Ah Biao told them the whole story.

Originally, as Zhang Mingyuan had requested, he led his men from Shanghai.

If all goes well, we should arrive at Phoenix Mountain this afternoon.

But none of them expected such a terrifyingly high temperature to suddenly appear.

When the car was still four or five kilometers away from the Green Forest Hotel, the engine broke down halfway due to overheating!

Keep in mind, it's scorching hot outside, reaching 50 degrees Celsius!

After the engine stops running, the air conditioning in the car also stops working!

The group was instantly enveloped by the terrifying heat!

Fortunately, Ah Biao reacted quickly and led his men to abandon the car and disappear into the nearby forest.

Phoenix Mountain is covered with lush vegetation, and there are streams in the forest.

Ah Biao and the others were thus spared from being roasted into jerky and were lucky enough to escape with their lives.

Even so, they were all in a sorry state, and one of them even lost his vital signs!

As night slowly fell, Ah Biao arrived at the Green Forest Hotel with five or six of his men!

Seeing their miserable state, everyone couldn't help but swallow hard!

Goodness, is it really that scary outside?!

"By the way, what's the situation outside? Has any rescue team arrived?"

Xiao Mei remembered something and quickly asked.

Ah Biao, panting heavily, shook his head and smiled bitterly.

"A rescue team, my foot! I'm afraid the authorities are too busy taking care of themselves right now!"

He explained the situation outside to everyone.

Because the temperature is unusually high today, people have all turned on their air conditioners, which has led to a shortage of electricity and overloaded circuits.

Almost all cities experienced power system failures of varying degrees.

No maintenance worker would be willing to work outside in such hot weather unless they were suicidal.

Without air conditioning to cool down, many people suffered from heatstroke and heat exhaustion, leading to overcrowding in the medical system.

Although the authorities were willing to provide rescue and maintain order, they were helpless in the face of extreme weather.

The current social order is on the verge of collapse.

Upon hearing this news, everyone present was shocked!

They originally thought that only the Shanghai area would experience such terrifying high temperatures.

Unexpectedly, similar situations occurred all over the country.

What shocked them even more was that the authorities were also helpless!

"Then... has the authorities said when this heatwave will end?"

Liu Ling'er couldn't help but ask.

Ah Biao glanced at her and said coldly,

"According to the weather forecast, this will last for at least a week..."

Upon hearing this, despair filled everyone's faces!

In just one day, they were tormented to the point of wishing they were dead!

If this continues for a week, I'm afraid none of the people present will survive!

"No, I have to get out of here right now! Ah Biao, you have to think of something!"

Zhang Mingyuan, who had been pampered since childhood, panicked and yelled at Abiao.

As a security guard for Mingyuan Group, Ah Biao's main job was to act as Zhang Mingyuan's henchman and protect his safety.

Even the most skilled retired special forces soldier was worried about the current situation.

Even though night has fallen and the temperature has dropped, if you go out like this and your car breaks down on the way, your life could be in danger.

"If we want to leave, we'd better have a tour bus, put everyone on it, and leave together under the cover of night."

Ah Biao suggested.

"But at this critical juncture, where can we find tour buses?"

Manager Dang began to worry.

It's not peak tourist season right now, and most visitors to Phoenix Mountain are either driving or taking a shuttle bus.

There wasn't a single tour bus in the huge parking lot.

"Isn't there a large RV over there at the entrance?"

Ah Biao suddenly remembered something and asked in confusion.

Upon hearing this, everyone exchanged glances, their expressions somewhat awkward.

Zhang Mingyuan coughed lightly and gave A Biao a general account of Su Chen's situation.

Ah Biao knew his young master's temperament very well, so he wasn't surprised.

He stroked his chin and pondered,

"If we can't get that RV, we probably won't be able to leave safely..."

Everyone was suddenly caught in a dilemma!

Just then, Zhang Mingyuan suddenly remembered something and looked towards Liu Ling'er.

"Ling'er, didn't you say that Su Chen was your lapdog?"

"Yes! Why don't you go and talk to him and ask him to lend us his car?"

"If all else fails, we'll just buy his RV!"

Zhang Mingyuan's friends, though not as wealthy as his family, were all rich and influential.

"This one……"

Liu Ling'er looked troubled.

It's not that she doesn't want to.

However, Su Chen's attitude earlier was far too cold.

Even if she went to Su Chen, Su Chen might not agree.

"Ling'er, no matter what, we still have to give it a try."

Xiao Mei, standing to the side, advised in a sweet voice,

"We can't just sit here and wait to die, can we?"

"Okay then, I'll give it a try."

Liu Ling'er bit her red lips and finally agreed.

No matter what, surviving and leaving this place is the most important thing.

Amidst the expectant gazes of the crowd, Liu Ling'er stood up and walked towards Normadison.

Inside the car, Su Chen, after finishing his meal, turned on his PS5, ready to play some games.

Sekiro?

No, it's too difficult. People with no hand skills can't play it.

Red Dead Redemption 2?

That's fine, enjoy the western scenery.

As Su Chen opened Red Dead Redemption 2, he felt a little regretful. It was a pity that the apocalypse came too early and he missed the release of Black Myth.

But before he could even get into the game, there was another knock on the car door.
