The one who was talking with Mei Lan was obviously Wang.
He had called her after coming to the command center.
He didn't expect Dr.Mei Lan to have a sister, based on their conversation, it seemed like she was sick.
He agreed to let her bring her sister because he had asked Li Wei's opinion and the latter had said yes.
From Chensu City to here the distance between them was great.
If Mei Lan drove some vehicle then it would take half a day to reach here.
But in this apocalypse when roads have been melted and there would be cars abandoned on roads.
Looking at the time it was 6:00 in the evening and as his young master had said the temperature would get down at night.
That would be the best time to travel in this world from now on.
He threw those thoughts in the back of his mind and dialed another number.
This time he called the survival chef that he had previously connected with.
He called three times but the survival chef didn't answer so he discarded his idea to contact him.
Wang began to check on the internet for other survival chefs so that he can contact them.
What Wang didn't know was that the survival chef he was calling was already dead.
He died in the conflict that happened when he was stockpiling supplies in the store.
Someone wanted to steal his cart in that chaos and both of them fought and the latter had lost in that.
Being beaten and left there he was dehydrated and died on the spot.
Night had been passed but other than Li Wei and Wang only a few in this slept carefreely.
Except for these people, All the others were trying to survive and stay hydrated.
Up until almost 30% of humans had died in one day.
The remaining ones were trying to survive with the bare minimum of water to stay alive.
Li Wei woke up and freshened up and ate what Wang had prepared.
He then asked Wang "What happened to the chef?"
Wang who was beside him didn't expect a sudden question but he then answered him, "I have called him more than twice but he didn't answer, so I think either he is trapped somewhere or either dead"
Li Wei nodded and didn't say anything.
He knew better than anyone how this apocalypse would bring the devil personality of humans.
Throwing those thoughts in the back of his mind he stood up because he wanted to check how much his crops had grown.
He and Wang walked towards the farm after accessing the door they entered and saw the green plants that had grown.
Li Wei was so happy to see all these crops and knew that these would come in handy later when he decides to start his own organization.
After looking them he then walked towards his private farm (The secret farm in his private quarters).
After looking at those he saw Lifebloom herb glowing slightly and frostleaf vine had made surrounding temperature low and was satisfied.
He then instructed Wang to look for talented people who would come in handy in these days.
He then sat on couch after starting his console and began to play games.
Wang again entered the command room and resumed his searching.
After searching for a while he found one resume that stood among the others.
After looking at the resumes in other online sites he decided to call the person.
....
In one of the tallest building of Rimo City, Yan Min carefully adjusted the solar panel she had modified herself.
As an engineer who had recently graduated her fascination about energy had always driven her.
Over the years, her passion and skills had earned her numerous rewards and fame.
One of her groundbreaking project was the highly efficient solar panels.
While standard panels generated around 300-watts per hours.
Yan Min's modified version produced an impressive 1000 watts per hours.
This technological leap had bought her both fame and fortune.
This success had set her up for other projects she had dreamed of but the sudden apocalypse shattered those plans.
Living on 21st floor, Yan Min was hit hard by the extreme heatwave.
The higher up the more unbearable the heat.
She had also sealed her windows with layers of cloth to keep the heat out.
Fortunately, her high tech building still had functioning water supply at least for now.
What many have seen her habit of staying in her house was blessing in disguise.
Over time she had stockspiled food so the she didnt have to go and buy.
After adjusting the modified solar panels.
She hurriedly plugged her phone to charge it.
As the phone was charging she began to think what she should do next.
She thought that what will happen when food and water runs out.
The thoughts haunted her as she looked at shelves and saw many stored food.
As she sat there, her thought drifted back to her childhood when she had lost her parents when she was 12 years old.
From that moment on she had to fend for herself in this world working tirelessly to earn enough money for college.
After years of hard work and sacrifice she had achieved her dream. She graduated as electric engineer and developed the modified solar panel.
But just as she had thought that she had made it, world crumbled around her.
Apocalypse arrived and she was stuck in her apartment.
Why was this world so cruel to her? she wondered, frustration building inside.
After enduring so mush pain and fighting for her place in her life she found herself in this nightmare of extreme heat.
Lost in her thoughts The ringing sound bought her back as she looked at her phone.
She looked at the screen and saw that an unknown number was calling her.
Her heart raced as she thought, Is someone finally gonna help her in this situation? was it government or someone unknown.
Taking a deep breath she pressed the green button.
