Genius remember the address of this site in one second: [Aibi Building] https://The fastest update! No ads!
Things seem to be a bit beyond his imagination!
"Hey..." Coco fell to the ground in the heat, spread out into a piece, sticking out her little tongue.
A bunch of Silver King and Mimi are also hot and don't want to move at all.
Only the egg didn't seem to be affected, and it was still rolling.
And, it seems more dynamic?
"No, no, it's so hot!" Li Wenxi picked up her collar, fanned it a few times, and then stood up, "I'll cool down!"
She ran to the kitchen to get a basin of water, moved to the living room, and threw a blue-grade saltpeter in it.
"hiss…"
The sound of the reaction between saltpeter and water sounded, and then, the cold breath spread to the entire room.
"Yeah! It's much more comfortable!" She squatted in front of the water basin for a while, enjoying the joy of the "air conditioner" blowing her face, and then got up and sat down on the sofa again, "It's a bit unbearable to suddenly return to such a temperature. !"
At this time, Xu Xin was already frowning and checking various channels.
This is happening in every region of the World Channel.
"Wow, the temperature is rising so fast!"
"Hahahaha, the snow outside is melting like crazy! Good days are coming!"
"I don't want to see snow again!"
"However, did the temperature rise a little too fast?"
"It's the same as the previous temperature drop is not fast."
"It's just returning to the original temperature of the jungle. You can see that the trees are sprouting outside! It's full of vitality, and I feel a lot better!"
"I'm so happy to see the snow melt!"
They are all survivors of areas that have just experienced severe cold before, and they are now in the stage of melting snow.
As the saying goes, the snow is not cold and the snow is cold. The melting snow will absorb heat. The heat absorption of the melting snow keeps the temperature around them at a relatively normal level, so it seems that not many people have noticed anything abnormal.
In the Alliance Channel, it is different.
Because Zone 1 and Zone 188 are the same, the snow layer has completely melted, so the rate of temperature increase in these two areas is significantly faster than those in the areas where the snow is still melting.
"Isn't it a bit outrageous hot!"
"At this temperature, I seem to be back in the center of the earth's summer!"
"It's almost forty degrees!"
"What the hell? It's not even seven o'clock in the morning? The sun has only just risen!"
"My god, I can't imagine what the temperature will be at noon..."
"Made, can't you? It's not like we've just experienced a cold winter, and we're going to have another sweltering summer!"
"Ah?! Then I'd rather have a cold winter! In the cold winter, I can still use a furnace to keep warm, and I can wear more clothes. What should I do in the hot summer! There is no air conditioner in this world!"
"I can't imagine a hot world without air conditioning...kill me..."
"What are you afraid of, there were no air conditioners in ancient times, and people didn't live well?"
"? Live well? Do you know how many people could die in a sweltering heat in ancient times?"
"Don't panic, I have already defected to the explorer, and I don't think it's a big problem. I feel very stable."
"Nima's, Xiu Youyou will die quickly!"
"Old explorers, treat our District 1 equally!"…
"The elders of our District 1 will not stand idly by!"
Xu Xin sighed.
The hot summer is really coming.
However, it came a little too soon.
Winter is just over!
Can't we just give them a rest a day later...
Of course, he didn't care too much about the scorching heat this time.
At this time, he suddenly realized what the reward for the snow mountain climbing activity was.
This is to allow them to better pass through the next stage and through this scorching summer stage!
"Just stay with me during this period of time. Also, don't go out to dig for those under your command." Xu Xin said to Li Wenxi who came over, "It's too hot, I'm afraid I can't go out."
"Ah? What's wrong?" Li Wenxi still didn't understand, maybe he was misled by Xu Xin's "return to normal temperature" just now, "It doesn't matter, I used to mine at this temperature before, yes In the mine, it is much cooler than outside."
Um…
"Today's temperature should be far more than this low." Xu Xin glanced out the window and said.
The temperature rises rapidly.
The sun was savage, shining directly in the jungle that had not yet recovered much, shining on the lake and the pool dug outside his tree house, and the transpiring water vapor made the surrounding air begin to distort.
It looks so hot!
"...Yes!" Li Wenxi also reacted and exclaimed, "It's only seven o'clock in the morning! It's so hot so early, then at noon..."
Xu Xin rubbed his brows.
Kind of difficult.
Under normal circumstances, it is normal for the temperature difference between morning and noon to exceed ten degrees, and sometimes it can even be close to twenty degrees. It is not uncommon for the temperature to span three seasons in one day.
The current temperature is already around forty degrees, and even if the temperature does not rise abnormally, it may be over fifty degrees by the afternoon!
Fifty degrees, this is simply not the temperature at which humans can survive normally!
Not to mention, the temperature may continue to rise abnormally!
In this world, do you want to heat another group of people to death after freezing to death!
...at least make sure that the people in their 188 area don't die from the heat!
"How much is your saltpeter mine?" Xu Xin turned to ask Li Wenxi, who was frowning.
"...Not much. A few days ago, I made almost all the saltpeter into dynamite because I was afraid of the beast tide, and I haven't had time to add it." Li Wenxi was obviously also thinking about this issue, "If the rest is to be used to help If District 188 resists the sweltering heat, I'm afraid it's not enough... I didn't even think about such a thing..."
She said slightly ashamed.
"Who would have thought such a problem would arise." Xu Xin shook her head.
It is him, and he will not leave some in the raw materials of explosives for ice making in the severe cold of minus tens of degrees.
At that time, there was ice everywhere. Who would have thought that saltpeter would be used to make ice in a few days!
At this moment, a reminder came from Xu Xin's ear.
[The tree house was successfully upgraded, and the ability was obtained: constant temperature. 】
Very good, with the ability to maintain a constant temperature, at least there is no problem inside his treehouse.
At this time, Li Wenxi couldn't help standing up: "No, I have to take them to the saltpeter mine to replenish some saltpeter! The temperature is not too high now, and it will be too late!"…
"Wait." Xu Xin pulled her and sat back again, "I'll go with you later."
He opened the [Explorer] group, and everyone was awakened by the heat, and they were all discussing this matter.
Zhao Xiaochuan: "Is it hot again after the severe cold! The world is crazy!"
Wen Guixin: "Fortunately, a few of us have this constant temperature reward, so it shouldn't be a big problem. Let others come to my tree house to escape the heat."
Qi Xuefei: "...The temperature is too high, and the medicinal materials will not be able to grow. In the future, the supply of my medicinal materials may stop."
Li Wenxi: "Don't be afraid, Sister Xuefei, I'm planning to take people to dig saltpeter in the area immediately, and we'll use saltpeter to make ice to cool down!"
Wang Lei: "Yes! Sister Wen Xi can mine saltpeter! That's a lot easier! I'm still thinking about what other people will do, and saltpeter shouldn't be a problem."
Ji Chaoyang: "If it is saltpeter, everyone may not need much. After all, saltpeter can be reused. It only needs to be dissolved in the tree house, and then put outside the tree house to dry, and reuse it back and forth."
Wen Guixin: "The manual air conditioner, the manual air conditioner is an external unit."
"Ah, Ji Chaoyang is right." Li Wenxi next to him immediately clapped his hands, "I'm used to making dynamite, and I almost thought that saltpeter was a consumable! It would be much easier then!"
"Yeah." Xu Xin nodded, "But ordinary green-grade saltpeter has a limited ability to absorb heat, and maybe many pieces can only maintain the temperature of a very small space."
Li Wenxi stood up: "In short, saltpeter is a must. Now the stock of saltpeter is too small, we must collect more before it is too hot!"
"...The saltpeter mine should not be hot, right?" Xu Xin asked suddenly.
"It's really cooler." Li Wenxi nodded, then smiled, "It doesn't matter if it's hot, just pour a pot of water! The main thing is that the road is uncomfortable. The saltpeter mine is at least three kilometers away from my tree house, so it's too hot. But you can't go!"
"I'm with you." Xu Xin stood up, "I'd better go to the saltpeter mine and place a coordinate."
When the materials were sufficient before, he made five more coordinates for backup.
Exactly now comes in handy.
"Yes!" Li Wenxi's eyes lit up and patted his arm, "You are so smart!"
If coordinates were a scarce commodity for them before, they are now somewhat expensive consumables.
After all, all blue-level materials are used to make coordinates, and blue-level materials are not scarce for them now.
Therefore, it is acceptable to put a coordinate for a mine point.
In this way, if the survivors in charge of mining want to mine, they don't have to trek in the scorching heat and can directly enter the cool mine.
"You're a little stupid." Xu Xin squeezed her cheek and smiled, "Then I'll go over and place the coordinates first, then you can bring the others. Where is the location of the mine?"
"I'm not stupid!" Li Wenxi patted Xu Xin's hand away, "I'll go with you, I can't tell."
As soon as he said go, Xu Xin immediately took the silver king down the tree house.
Coco was a little reluctant to go out for the first time, but was dragged out by Xu Xin. …
With this little guy by his side, he can really feel at ease.
When I came to the outside of the tree house, a burst of heat rushed to my face.
"Wow...!" Feeling the heat, Li Wenxi's face suddenly turned bitter.
The temperature difference between the inside and outside of the house is huge!
In the current house, under the influence of blue-grade saltpeter, it is maintained at about 25 degrees.
And outside...
It's clearly over forty degrees now!
The temperature is rising so fast!
"Hey..." Coco lay on Xu Xin's shoulders, drooping her limbs and big tail, not wanting to move.
The silver king also looked a little listless.
It's so hot outside, it really makes me feel dizzy!
Outside the tree house, the water level of the pond he dug had dropped significantly in less than an hour!
xiaoshuting.
This pond is connected to the lake, and the water level of the pond has dropped, which means…
He looked towards the lake.
Above the lake, there is obviously water vapor transpiring.
but…
There are no clouds in the sky, and the blue sky is extremely clear.
There is no sign of rain.
"...It won't be a severe drought, will it?" Xu Xintong Kong shrank slightly.
In his original world, the heat was usually accompanied by torrential rain.
Coupled with the motherland's South-to-North Water Diversion and other projects, the whole country will not be short of domestic water, so he does not have much concept of drought, and he did not immediately notice it.
but now…
Xu Xin frowned slightly.
This must be noted!
He sent a message directly to the Alliance channel.
"Everyone, pay attention to water storage, in this weather, there may be a drought."
"Drought?" Li Wenxi also noticed this, "Yes, it is indeed prone to drought. But... It can't be done without the lake, right?"
She pointed to the lake road that had been covered with a thick layer of ice a few days ago.
"Anyway, you still have to prepare in advance."
Xu Xin didn't think his lake would dry up completely. After all, he had a deep understanding of how deep the lake was.
If it weren't for the fact that Danshui Lake was at this time, he would have suspected that the lake was connected to the sea.
but…
Most of the others' treehouses are by the stream.
Judging by the speed at which the water level of the lake on his side is falling...
The possibility that the stream will dry up is very high!
He immediately contacted several people on his side and asked them to get more water now.
Then, together with Li Wenxi, he teleported to her treehouse.
Turning over the wolf, he soon found the saltpeter mine under the guidance of Li Wenxi.
The entrance to the mine is not big, but it seems that she should not have dug it herself, but a naturally formed entrance to the mine.
In the mine, there is actually a hint of coolness that exudes.
"Hey!" Coco, who felt the coolness, jumped off Xu Xin's shoulder and ran into the mine.
The Silver King stuck out his tongue and gasped, and wanted to enter the cave as quickly as possible.
"That was the exit for exploration of the underground city at that time." Li Wenxi pointed in a direction, "I came out of the underground and found this cave. I came in curiously and looked at it, and found the saltpeter."
"...You are so lucky."...
"Come in, let's put the coordinates in there, there's a suitable place in there!"
Indeed, it would be safer to put the coordinates in there.
Don't worry too much about the coordinates being destroyed.
Entering the mine, suddenly enlightened.
The entrance to the mine is small, but the interior is huge.
Fortunately, this cave is not deep, only 30 meters deep, and there are obvious traces of excavation on the surrounding walls.
"There are saltpeter mines all around here." Li Wenxi walked to the wall and took out a pick and knocked it casually.
Then pick up one of the broken stones: "Look."
"It seems that the reserves of saltpeter here should not be small." Xu Xin nodded.
He found a flat position, put the coordinates down, activated them, and connected the coordinates on Li Wenxi's side.
"That's it." He patted the dust on his hands, "Let's go back."
"Hey!" Coco, who had been spinning around in the mine, climbed onto Xu Xin's shoulder.
The two returned to Li Wenxi's treehouse directly through the coordinates.
Li Wenxi immediately summoned everyone and teleported over to mine the saltpeter mine.
And Xu Xin returned to his tree house.
The air was a bit hot again.
The temperature continues to rise.
Wearing the steel suit, he felt like he was sweating profusely.
At this temperature, you really can't stay outside for much longer!
It's easy to get heatstroke!
"I'll be back so soon." Lou Feier was about to return to her tree house when she saw Xu Xin and said in surprise, "We haven't taken much water yet."
She didn't look abnormal, not even sweating.
This temperature is really nothing to her with a mutant physique.
Ma Hongwei and Zeng Tao are still fetching water from the pool beside his tree house.
The two of them didn't seem to have changed at all.
...The mutant physique is really good.
Xu Xin exclaimed.
…and many more!
If the sweltering heat has no effect on Lou Feier and the others who have mutant physiques...
That mutant creature...!
Xu Xin's eyes narrowed slightly.
Mutated creatures should also not be affected!
That is to say, in this scorching hot environment, it is still possible for them to be attacked by a large number of mutant creatures!
In this regard, also be careful.
"The water in your pool is really getting less and less. I feel like it should be gone in half an hour." Zeng Tao came over with her backpack, and put all the water she took in the backpack, "It's not that we take water. As a result, the water level of the lake over there is also getting lower and lower."
"Get as much water as you can." It was too hot, and Xu Xin didn't want to talk much, "I'll go up first, please come to the tree house to find me if you have anything."
"Hey..." Coco let out a weak cry, urging him to hurry up.
"Oh, okay. Ah, you're very hot, aren't you! Hey, it seems that this mutant physique is still good." Zeng Tao ran back to his tree house with a little happiness.
This guy…
"I also went back to Brother Xin." Ma Hongwei said, "The water I took is enough for a month, so it shouldn't be a problem."
He was wearing a simple leather armor, and there was not a single drop of sweat on his forehead.
"Okay." Xu Xin nodded, too lazy to talk.
He was a little envious of the physique of these people.
Back in the tree house, Qing Liang wrapped his whole body directly, making him feel comfortable in an instant.
"Huh..." With a long sigh of relief, he slammed onto the sofa.
When he clicked on the World Channel, he found that the snow in other areas had almost melted away under the strong sunlight.
The survivors in these areas also began to complain.
Survivors all over the world have noticed this sudden natural disaster.
… This time, the scorching summer is not easy to survive.
