The night is quiet.
The temperature did not drop, but became dull.
The air is like thick mud, making it impossible to breathe.
Xincheng.
Twenty kilometers away from the county seat, in a small town, in a certain corner.
The town was originally by the river, but under the continuous high temperature, the river dried up.
Under the dry river bed, many yellow wax stones were exposed.
After being exposed to the direct sunlight during the day, the yellow wax stone absorbed a lot of heat, and when night fell, it also began to radiate heat.
Extremely hot.
There is a small hill opposite the river. The hill is not high, just tens of meters, but it can also provide shade.
There is a bridge by the river, and at the end of the bridge, there is a house.
The house has seven floors and two underground floors.
On the second underground floor, the innermost room was dark, and a heartbreaking sound could be heard.
"Take off, take off, wake up. Don't sleep, okay? Didn't you say you are the bravest and most powerful? Don't sleep, don't sleep." A man hugged a skinny child, shook the child's body, and shouted With.
"Second brother, cough cough cough, give the child some water." Someone next to him said, looking at his nephew with some distress.
The mountain peak turned a deaf ear, as if a demon was stunned, still shaking the child's body.
"Alas!" Another man stood up with difficulty. He was only wearing a pair of underpants, but he was still covered in sweat. Every breath he took was very difficult.
"Second brother." He stood up to stop Shanfeng from shaking the child like this.
There was a wet towel on the child's forehead, and his whole body was hot.
Shanfeng woke up a little. He laid the child flat on the ground and took off the piece of cloth still on his head.
The piece of cloth was very hot.
He gently touched his son's forehead, feeling infinite regret in his heart.
It would have been better if he had entered the Da Zhangshu base together. It was all his fault that he was so stubborn that his son was also hurt.
Regret, powerlessness, anger.
But it's no longer useful at this point.
It's night now. If you want to go to the Da Zhangshu base to seek help, the road will be dangerous. The time for the other Da Zhangshu base to open has passed.
The most important thing is that under such high temperatures, they no longer have much strength to move their bodies.
Suddenly, his son took off and convulsed violently. After convulsing for two seconds, the twelve-year-old boy woke up from his coma.
Tengfei woke up and saw his father at a glance. His face was as red as coke. He closed his mouth tightly and used all his strength to say to his father: "Dad, am I the worst? Ahem."
As he coughed, blood flowed from the corners of his mouth.
"Don't talk, Tengfei, don't talk." He originally saw his son waking up, but when he saw blood flowing from his son's mouth, he said tremblingly.
"Isn't it? Is he the strongest?" After Tengfei said these words, his whole body went limp, and his whole body collapsed softly like a ball of mud.
Completely lifeless.
Shanfeng was stunned for a moment, and the next second, he roared loudly: "You are, you are, you are the strongest."
Unfortunately, Teng Fei didn't hear it.
Shanfeng pulled his hair hard, as if he was crazy.
As if unwilling to give in, he touched the child's nose with his hand and found that he was no longer breathing.
Then I lay on the child's chest and listened to the heartbeat, but there was nothing.
He muttered: "No, no, no, we both stood up when we were most in danger, how could we not stand up at this time? Wake up, wake up."
The movements of his hands did not stop. He tremblingly took the wet towel and wiped the child's body.
However, during the wiping process, I discovered that the child's body was so hot.
And the decline is rapid.
He was a little excited and quickly stretched out his hand to feel the child's breath, but there was none.
He suddenly thought of a terrifying fact. Only when a person dies does the body become cold.
He didn't want to believe it, so he numbly wiped the child's body mechanically.
again and again.
The people next to them were also grief-stricken, but they no longer had the strength to feel sad. Such a hot weather had evaporated all the water in their bodies, and they needed to constantly replenish water.
There was not enough food, and they were so weak that they could only lie down waiting for death.
for a long time.
Maybe it's ten minutes, maybe it's twenty minutes, maybe it's an hour.
"Ah!!!" After Shanfeng wiped it mechanically, he found that his child did not move at all.
died!
He was killed by his arrogance and stubbornness!
He thought, he thought, he felt, he felt.
He had never been so remorseful, never so sad.
The apocalypse has been going on for more than a year. For so long, Tengfei has been very sensible, never noisy or hungry, and has even continued to adapt to the world and live strong.
Fight zombies, fight the harsh environment, fight the darkness, and fight humans with bad intentions.
They are like sewer rats, lingering in the basement.
Shanfeng is a proud man.
He has always been a proud person. When he was young, he would get into fights when he disagreed with others. After working, he became stubborn and only cared about what he said, not what others said.
The constant changes made his character become more and more extreme, and he became more and more extreme.
His extreme personality made him stubborn to the point of being unstoppable.
He sat down on his knees.
The whole person seemed to have lost his soul, his eyes were dull, and he looked numbly at the dark night outside the window.
This night was very difficult.
I never imagined that time flows so slowly.
However, in such an environment, people feel infinite despair.
The night is already so hot, what about the day?
Big camphor tree base.
The morning light dews slightly.
Li Yu stood on the window sill, using his hands to wipe away the water vapor caused by the large temperature difference across the glass.
I looked at the alarm clock on the table. It showed the time: 5:00.
He saw the rising sun on the mountain side.
Last night, he went to bed early.
He knew that the volcano was going to erupt today, and he felt a little excited, a little scared, and a little sad.
He knows that many people will die today, and he also knows that after today, the future will change dramatically.
However, he has tried his best.
Everything he could do, he did.
If it were him in his previous life, he would never let non-staff members in, nor would he care about Ju Tianrui and the others.
This is not his fault. He has lost part of his humanity after living for five years in the apocalypse.
Before his rebirth, this was the only way he could survive.
Deception, betrayal, darkness, struggle.
He has seen too much human nature and too much darkness, so that after seeing some of the sad things in the world, it is difficult for him to be touched.
but.
As time passed after his rebirth, the warmth of his family and friends allowed his already broken heart to heal.
He slowly discovered that he was becoming more and more compassionate and humane.
However, out of the caution deep in his soul, he kept advising himself to be cautious and careful.
In a certain corner of his heart, a murderous little beast squatted nearby, constantly attacking Li Yu's emotions.
The real apocalypse is about to come.
His mood was very complicated, and hundreds of thoughts were entangled with him.
But he couldn't talk to anyone.
He has to work hard to stay calm. A calm state is the most comfortable state.
Woke up an hour earlier than usual.
He got up and drank a glass of water, finishing it in one go.
Then he went to the balcony and opened the double glass.
The hand was released without any protection.
hiss--
hot!
It felt like putting my hands in a hot boiler.
The mountain forests are no longer green, and trees have died in large areas.
The thick smoke floating in the distance told him that another wildfire must have broken out somewhere nearby.
A place of silence.
The world is quiet.
It started last night.
But being so quiet, his heart was extremely restless.
boom--
He closed the window tightly.
He lowered his head and squeezed his hands tightly.
After a few seconds, he let go of his hand that turned white from clenching it too hard.
He let out a long, slow breath.
Shaked his head.
Put on your loose home clothes and slowly walk to the basement.
This feeling of a secret that no one knew but he knew, and he couldn't tell anyone, made him extremely anxious and painful.
Enter the second floor of the basement.
A room, empty.
Li Yu walked in and opened the curtains around the wall.
This set of equipment cost him millions, and he purchased the most advanced virtual reality technology package before the end of the world.
The walls are made of soundproof cotton, and the door is closed tightly.
The whole room seemed to have become another world.
Li Yu clicked on an option for mountains, forests, waterfalls and streams on the button on the wall.
Pattering——
The sound of water running sounded.
The surrounding walls lit up instantly, turning into a scene of deep mountains and old forests, cliffs and waterfalls, with a trickling stream under the waterfall.
The fresh air system in the room is automatically turned on, and the hot and dry outdoor air becomes much softer after being purified.
The aroma diffuser was also turned on, and a fresh scent of nature spread into the room.
The sound of wind, water, and the occasional chirping of birds.
The soft water vapor, with a natural and fresh smell, blew onto his face.
In this set of MR equipment, he seemed to be on a small bluestone slab under the waterfall.
Under him was an off-white futon, and Li Yu sat down quietly.
Everything around seems to be real.
The trickling stream seemed to be beside him.
He sat listening to the sound of the stream.
Put your hands flat, curl up your legs, relax your whole body, and maintain a comfortable posture.
Following this unique natural sound, I slowly closed my eyes.
The originally rapid breathing slowly became calmer at this moment.
With the sound of the stream, the rhythm.
It seems to be integrated into this nature.
meditation.
This is Li Yu's way to solve his inner restlessness, restrain his murderous intention, and restrain his inner anxiety.
In meditation, he does not consciously think.
Instead, focus on your breathing.
Focus on each breath.
In meditation, time moves very slowly.
One minute may seem like ten minutes.
Focus on your breathing.
Breathe in.
Exhale.
Li Yu gradually got better and slowly forgot everything in his mind and what he wanted to think about.
So all thoughts are blocked, leaving only one thing: breathing.
Every inhalation is so precious, every exhalation is so rare.
His chest rose and fell slowly.
one flower one World.
Between every breath and every breath.
He could see himself sitting there meditating.
My mood gradually calmed down and calmed down.
Forgetting the flow of time, in meditation he did nothing but breathe.
He seemed to be swimming in beautiful fields, flying in the sky, and swimming in clear lakes.
for a long time.
Maybe it's the sound of a drop of water, maybe it's the cry of a bird.
Let him wake up from his meditation.
It seems like a century has passed.
At this moment, his mood had returned to calm.
The ancient well has no waves, is natural and peaceful.
call--
Li Yu slowly exhaled.
I sat up on the futon and took two minutes to escape the atmosphere.
Smell, touch, taste, hearing, homing.
Turning off the virtual suit, he walked out of the room.
When I returned to the room, I saw the time displayed on the alarm clock was 5:58.
Li Yu took out his walkie-talkie and said to Yang Tianlong, who was on duty today: "Tianlong, what is the outdoor surface temperature now?"
Yang Tianlong heard the noise and checked the instrument for detecting the surface temperature. This sight made him stunned.
He replied in shock: "Xiaoyu, the surface temperature has reached 87 degrees!"
87 degrees!
Li Yu knew what was going on and said to him: "Publish a broadcast to prevent everyone from coming out of the room to prevent heat stroke."
Yang Tianlong understood and said to Li Yu: "With this high temperature, no one should be willing to come out."
"Just do it." Li Yu said.
"Um."
Immediately afterwards, Yang Tianlong took out the radio that had not been used for a long time. Because in the apocalypse, the noise of the radio would attract the attention of zombies, so they basically did not use it.
But as of now, the zombies don’t even know where they are.
In such hot weather, if zombies appear under the sun, they will be cooked.
Following Yang Tianlong's broadcast, everyone in the base heard it.
And Yang Tianlong also informed everyone that the current surface temperature has reached a terrifying 87 degrees.
This news made everyone in the base exclaim.
at the same moment.
In the Second Outer City, there was a young man among the residents. He woke up early in the morning and wanted to go out and relax.
Ever since I came in the day before yesterday, I have been staying in this small room, feeling extremely depressed.
Open the door and a wave of heat hits.
Um? So damn hot.
But I still want to go out and do some activities.
Just stay for two minutes. he thought to himself.
After taking two steps outside, the air seemed to be poisonous, making him feel like he was in a hot spring.
The clothes were soaked in an instant.
It's so hot, just stay there for thirty seconds, after all, it's all out.
It's a bit embarrassing to sneak in like this.
Two seconds later, he felt that the air he breathed in was like hot water, burning his lungs.
"ah!"
He opened his mouth, and instantly, heat rushed into his throat.
Uh-huh-uh-huh.
He was only two steps away from the door, and the sun was just shining through.
Like a duck that keeps darting, he opened the door with his hands and walked into the hall with trembling feet.
boom--
When he came in, he seemed to come to life.
Without any protection, directly in the sun.
Moreover, his body has become accustomed to an environment of more than 20 degrees Celsius. He would definitely not be able to bear the sudden exposure to an environment of more than 80 degrees Celsius on the surface.
Seeing his suicidal behavior, some people laughed and said, "How dare you go out in this damn weather. That's awesome, awesome."
Some people also said: "As for it? It wasn't like this when we came in yesterday."
The man who went out took a few heavy breaths. His throat seemed to have been burned by fire, and he said hoarsely: "If you have the guts, go and try it."
As soon as these words came out, the person who had spoken out also fell silent.
After seeing this man's miserable state, he didn't want to try.
Dongtai, who was in the room, also stretched out his hand to test it outside. He was also a little lucky. Fortunately, he followed Xiao Jun's suggestion and handed in the weapon.
Not to mention whether the battalion commander could be treated, in this high temperature, how much would they suffer if they were outside.
It scares me just thinking about it.
Fortunately, I got in.
Time passes little by little.
Eight in the morning. Surface temperature, 90 degrees.
10 a.m., surface temperature, 95 degrees.
11 a.m., surface temperature, 99.5 degrees.
12 o'clock in the morning, surface temperature, 100 degrees.
When the pointer slides to 12 o'clock.
The ground shook.
Violent shaking.
Even though Xincheng is far away from the volcanic earthquake zone, strong shaking can still be felt.
This shaking is not a region, but a global one.
The earth dragon turned over.
Sudden.
A loud noise came from all directions.
The surrounding sky suddenly turned red.
Li Yu was in the room, looking at the red clouds outside the window,
I thought to myself: Here it comes!
——
Also, send before 12 o'clock. Sleepy brothers and sisters, go to bed early and watch tomorrow.
Come on, come on, please vote~~~
