Under their persistent questioning, Ruan Mianmian briefly explained their origins and then took them to choose the products they needed.

Wei Huaimin and the others are engineers who have received preferential treatment from the state and are indeed very skilled. After seeing the spaceship and the items in the mall, they roughly guessed the truth. Hearing Ruan Mianmian's explanation, they had no doubts whatsoever and even said, "If you want to build a complete technology tree from the basics, we will definitely help you."

“We help each other,” Ruan Mianmian said with a smile.

While selecting items in the mall, Wei Huaimin asked Ruan Mianmian about the actual situation in the east.

When he had listened for a while, he suddenly asked, "Could you lend us some of your temperature-controlled clothing?"

"You know that?" Ruan Mianmian was speechless.

Just by listening to her recount what happened in City D, I was able to guess that she owned temperature-controlled clothing. That's amazing.

"That's not hard to deduce," Wei Huaimin said with a smile, then explained,

"I won't go into how easy it is to analyze what you've said, but just the fact that Leader Sun went to see other leaders at this time is illogical. Although the temperature is dropping, it's still unbearable for the human body, yet he dared to go out, and the material he was wearing was something I'd never seen before, similar to what you wear, so I guessed it."

Ruan Mianmian said, "We don't have many constant temperature clothing on hand, so we can only lend them to you. You can contact Professor Zhao later to discuss the details of how to borrow them and for how long."

After saying that, she went back to rest.

She's been out all day, and talking to cunning people, so she's a bit tired and needs a good rest.

Back in the lounge, Ruan Mianmian remembered the plastic bag that the boss had given her, so she took it out and opened the cardboard box inside.

She was stunned when she opened it.

Inside were not the ordinary items she expected, but a box of gold and silver jewelry, mostly gold and gemstones. Although the jewelry was just piled up haphazardly in the box, it was still clear that each piece was exquisite.

Although Ruan Mianmian already had a lot of jewelry, she was still very happy to receive so many different designs of accessories and immediately put them into her storage space.

After putting away her jewelry and eating something, Ruan Mianmian fell into a deep sleep.

When she woke up, she saw the professors discussing the burning objects shown on the screen in the lounge, and she couldn't help but wonder: "Is there yet another insane attempt to kill someone by sun exposure?"

"No, we're just looking at a spontaneously combusted fire," Professor Zhao said. Seeing the even greater surprise on Ruan Mianmian's face, he explained, "The flammable materials on the ground have either been burned or picked up and stored away. There's nothing left to burn, and the temperature is also dropping. This may be the last spontaneously combusted fire."

Since the heat wave arrived, daytime temperatures have remained high, and spontaneous combustion fires have occurred almost daily, leaving the already barren land even more devastated and causing the outside temperature to rise slightly.

Ruan Mianmian was surprised because spontaneous combustion fires are commonplace, and the sudden gathering of so many people to discuss it seemed like something serious had happened.

Now that she knew this might be the last spontaneous combustion fire, Ruan Mianmian nodded, her eyes fixed on the fire on the screen, and said, "If it gets extremely cold next, there won't be enough heating. What will happen to so many people?"

The things exposed on the ground have long been burned by natural fires, so those who were scavenging before certainly didn't find much.

Simply relying on digging underground to keep so many people across the country warm is far too difficult.

Professor Zhao said, "I've seen their official documents. If we follow the policies outlined in those documents and implement them step by step, we should be able to save most people. If we work hard, we should be able to prevent everyone from freezing to death, but there will definitely be a lot of people suffering from frostbite."

Ruan Mianmian sighed.

This is a terrible natural disaster.

With humanity's current capabilities, it is simply impossible to avoid natural disasters; we can only be manipulated by them.

Ruan Mianmian had nothing to do for the time being, so she sat in the lounge and enjoyed afternoon tea.

Just as she finished a cup of tea, the chubby baby called out in her mind: "Mianmian, put on the thermal clothing that exposes your arms, face and neck, and go outside for a walk. I want to take some pictures."

Ruan Mianmian went out and, as requested by the chubby baby, made various facial expressions and ran under the scorching sun. When she came back, her exposed skin was bright red, clearly sunburned, and quite badly so.

While applying the medicine, Tang You scolded her, "I think you've gone crazy, doing something so dangerous. You're not short of money now, and you don't lack status in the entertainment industry, do you need to work so hard? This world doesn't exist without TV dramas, at worst we can just make them into a sci-fi documentary and put them online, do you have to hurt your body like this?"

Ruan Mianmian laughed and said, "It's not really about harming my body. The main thing is that I want to experience what it feels like to be exposed to the scorching sun during a heat disaster. Think about it, this kind of apocalypse is a once-in-a-millennium event. Once it's over, it's over, and I probably won't have the chance to experience it again. Now that I have the opportunity, I have to experience it."

Lin Xiao and Fang Yang's frustrated voices rang out: "Now that you've made me want to go out and get some sun too..."

Ruan Mianmian laughed out loud: "Then let's go out and experience it... We're wearing temperature-controlled suits, so we won't get sunburned, but the exposed skin can feel the terrifying sensation of the scorching sun. It's definitely worth experiencing."

Upon hearing this, Lin Xiao and Fang Yang both showed eager expressions on their faces.

Tang You rolled her eyes in exasperation: "If you want to experience something, then make it realistic. Don't wear the thermostat suits, just wear ordinary clothes and go out for the experience. After all, if you're going to experience something, you should experience the full version, right?" She then rolled her eyes at Ruan Mianmian and the other two.

Ruan Mianmian, Lin Xiao, and the other two were deeply moved upon hearing this.

As the saying goes, what comes comes comes.

It seems like a trip here would be incomplete without experiencing the scorching heat of the apocalypse.

Tang You was mocking the three of them, but seeing that they were actually interested, she was so angry that she didn't want to say anything.

The medicine Ruan Mianmian applied was brought back from the Federation. It was particularly effective in treating burns, and by the next day, no trace of the burns was visible.

The next day, while Tang You was busy, Ruan Mianmian, Lin Xiao, and Fang Yang put on ordinary clothes and went outside to bask in the scorching sun.

Since they were already there, Ruan Mianmian let the chubby baby give orders, and then acted out various expressions with Lin Xiao and Fang Yang, and even ran under the scorching sun.

I must say, it was pretty exciting and thrilling. If it weren't for the crucial moment when Fatty reminded them, and Ruan Mianmian took out the flying car and threw herself, Lin Xiao, and Fang Yang into it, they would have passed out immediately.

Back in the mall in a sorry state, Ruan Mianmian, Lin Xiao, and Fang Yang were surrounded by all their companions and lectured for the entire afternoon.
