When Jiang Ying returned home, she told Uncle Zhang about the phenomenon she encountered outside. The two decided to go out again tomorrow to see the situation in other places.
The next day, the two of them had breakfast and went out before eight o'clock. Before going out, they still turned on all the villa security systems as usual.
In just a few days of extreme heat, the entire city's environment has undergone tremendous changes. At first glance, it looks desolate, withered and messy.
All green areas in the city have turned yellow, and there are various vehicles parked on the road. From time to time, there are various charred corpses at a distance. The vicinity of the corpses is covered with various dense insects, ants and flies, and a strong stench hits the face.
Without cleaners, the streets suddenly returned to their original messy appearance. After the extreme heat, communication functions around the world were lost, and the power system was also damaged. Repairing the city's power system was a major project and required re-laying of cables. All previous city lines had failed.
However, there is no effective way to contact all workers in time. The high temperature caused by the extreme heat has caused a large number of employees to lose their positions and lose contact, and the city cannot operate normally at all.
Although the higher authorities have dispatched troops to guard official departments in various places in time, the road collapse and poor traffic have also meant that various places did not receive the orders from the higher authorities immediately.
Jiang Ying felt it with her mental strength. Many places in the houses on the street had no smell of living people. Today was the second day after the extremely hot weather. The two of them drove and saw sporadic pedestrians coming out on the road. They were probably Looking for a store that is open.
The disaster has just begun, and people are not at the end of their rope yet, so humanity is not being wiped out so quickly. It's just that there are extremely vicious people all the time, and the end of the world will only intensify their ambitions.
Today's temperature is estimated to be around 35-40 degrees, which is hot but within the temperature range acceptable to humans. It's still cool for the time being with the air conditioner on in the car. However, there are too many obstacles on the road. Soon after the two of them went out, the car stopped working. Keep moving forward.
On the road, I met some cars heading out of the city. They were probably people going back to their hometown. After all, in this situation, it is most peaceful to return to your parents. Fallen leaves seek to return to their roots. Many times, home is the biggest support for people walking outside. In the end A safe haven where the family faces even the worst outcomes together.
The two got out of the car and walked on foot. They were already sweating profusely after walking a few steps, and their bodies were soaked with sweat. They had no destination today, and the current situation was not suitable for searching for supplies in the community. They had planned to go out today Let's go to the official building of City Z to see if there is any latest news. Looking at the situation now, it is estimated that it will be difficult to travel in the near future.
The two had no choice but to drive back to the villa. It seemed that they would go out on electric bikes next time.
Not long after I walked in, I heard someone knocking on the door. It seemed to be the hostess of a nearby community.
"Little girl, little girl, are you at home?"
Jiang Ying stopped Uncle Zhang from going out and walked out by himself.
"Aunt Liu, it's you, what is this?"
"Hey, it's not like the high temperature of the past few days. My son and daughter-in-law haven't come back yet. It's just me and my granddaughter at home. After the power outage, the water is gone. Do you have water at home? Can you give me some water?"
Jiang Ying wanted to agree, but then thought of the situation in her previous life, she suppressed the unbearable feeling in her heart and said, "I'm sorry, Aunt Liu, our house has no water. I don't know what will happen next?"
I thought Aunt Liu would just leave, but I didn't expect the woman's expression to change on the spot.
"Little girl, we all live nearby. Neighbors help each other. You can drink as much water as you want. Don't think I don't know. I wasn't the only one to see the truck coming here that day. What's going on now? You should know that no one is in charge of the official business right now. If you don’t want me to tell you and let everyone rob you, you’d better give me half of my things, and I won’t ask for more.”
