At two o'clock at noon, the average temperature reached 60 degrees.
Everyone is hiding indoors, turning on the air conditioner, and doing everything they can to cool themselves down.
In the Gu family villa, it was a different scene.
"Brother Ziming, did you already know that the temperature would skyrocket?"
They had just had lunch and were now picking up their phones to browse news from the outside world.
Zhao Xiaoyu was wearing ultra-short jeans and a navel-baring vest, sitting on the sofa.
It was only now that she knew about the abnormal weather, so she asked Gu Ziming.
"How could I have known it earlier?"
Gu Ziming took a sip of black tea and said:
"Didn't you say that there were cosmic rays some time ago? And about the doomsday, have you heard of it?"
"I heard about it, but at the time I thought it was just nonsense from some people on the Internet and didn't pay much attention."
Zhao Xiaoyu patted his chest again and said, "Fortunately I came to your place, otherwise I would have either died of heat or starvation at home."
"I believed it at that time, so I was a little more prepared. If it hadn't happened, I would have been a fool at worst."
Gu Ziming pretended to laugh at himself.
"Brother Ziming is not an idiot!" Zhao Xiaoyu said hurriedly to help Gu Ziming.
"It may not be peaceful these days, so just stay at my house and play for a few more days. Flights will probably be canceled due to this weather."
"Brother Ziming is not an idiot. I would like to solemnly thank Brother Ziming for taking him in."
Zhao Xiaoyu emphasized that Gu Ziming was not an idiot before agreeing.
The two watched the news again, hoping to learn more about the disaster.
The news on the mobile phone shows that the current average temperature across the country has reached 60 degrees.
There is also an accompanying picture next to the weather forecast.
The sun has softened the asphalt on many asphalt roads, and some cars running wildly have left tracks on the road.
Some smart people shared their tips on preventing heatstroke online:
Turn the air conditioner to the lowest setting, put a basin of water in the bedroom, and use a fan to blow it. The evaporation of the water will also take away the heat.
There were comments like "666" and "I learned it" below.
Gu Ziming also saw this video and felt that these netizens were really smart and optimistic at the same time.
In fact, if you stay indoors and take cooling measures, you can barely survive this temperature, but the really scary thing is behind it.
Once they go out, most people will not be able to bear the high temperature and suffer from heat stroke shock. If the time is longer, they will die directly.
Being unable to go out due to the unusually high temperature is the first problem.
The second problem is ultraviolet radiation.
The unusually active reaction of the sun brings not only heat, but also a surge in ultraviolet rays by orders of magnitude.
These ultraviolet rays will kill many open-air creatures on Blue Star and are also harmful to humans, but that is not the most critical thing.
The most critical thing is that the food grown outside will not be harvested.
The surviving humans at that time will face the most terrifying food crisis in history.
Of course, people are still indoors now, eating and drinking, and are in a state of not dying from heat and hunger.
But the latest crisis is coming soon.
Because electricity is limited.
Sure enough, while Gu Ziming was still reading the jokes made by many netizens, his phone received a text message from the Electricity Bureau.
Zhao Xiaoyu and Qin Waner, who were fine for the time being, also received their mobile phones.
The content of the text message has only one meaning: the power grid load is too high and insufficient, and the power supply will be limited soon!
Everyone turned on the air conditioners and adjusted the power to the maximum. The power grid exceeded the maximum load and ran for more than three hours, which was already the limit.
Now there is insufficient electricity, which means that electricity has begun to enter a period of restricted use.
Some people will begin to feel the cruelty of the end.
Zhao Xiaoyu saw Gu Ziming's solar array yesterday, but she was still a little worried and asked:
"Will this power limit affect us?"
Gu Ziming understood her concerns, but still smiled and said:
"Didn't I tell you yesterday? The electricity we generate in one day is enough to last us a year with our current usage."
Someone posted the text message online, and instantly people started discussing it like they had found a gathering place.
"This weather is hot enough to kill me. I can't survive tonight without air conditioning!"
"Put a pan outside and you can cook a medium-rare steak."
"No, I don't have air conditioning, and now I can't even turn on the fan?"
"I said the end was coming, but no one believed me. The two photovoltaic panels I have installed are enough for our family."
"I agree with you upstairs. I have been saving supplies for three months and I was called a lunatic. Now the people who called me lunatic are out and about."
The topic gradually changed from power rationing to whether the end is really coming.
The previous doomsday sects have posted their preparations on the Internet, and there are a lot of comments from big guys asking for help.
Some unprepared netizens directly got involved with these doomsday parties.
"It's great to be prepared. I believe this high temperature is just an anomaly caused by cosmic rays, and it will pass soon."
"I bet that this weird high temperature will drop in at most two days. Your so-called preparation is just a waste of money."
"The greatest virtue of human beings is to learn to share. I think you should share some supplies.
After all, after tomorrow, these things of yours will be useless, and we are just in a bit of a shortage now. "
Just as Gu Ziming was reading the comments from these netizens,
In a rental house, a young man who had just fainted from the heat suddenly sat up.
"I am reborn?" the young man murmured.
Then, he gently clenched his palm, and a crystal clear ice cone appeared in his palm.
"I, Ye Han, am reborn? And brought back the ice power of my previous life?"
Ye Han excitedly summoned another ice cone, pushed it hard, and smashed it on the wall.
A dent was left on the wall, and the ice cone was shattered all over the floor.
"Hahaha, it's not a dream, I'm really reborn!"
Ye Han's body, which had fainted from the heat, also recovered instantly, and a layer of light mist was still around his body.
This is the ice entanglement that Ye Han learned in his previous life, which is to surround his body with a thin layer of ice at any time, so that he will not be disturbed by the high temperature.
Ye Han stood in front of the window sill, staring directly at the sun, with infinite pride in his heart.
"In this life, I want to stand at the top of the world!"
"I want everyone to look up to me!"
After saying that, Ye Han placed his hands on his chest again, and his face was filled with tyranny and murderous intent.
Ye Han recalled his experience before his rebirth, and said with gritted teeth:
"Gu Ziming and that bitch, I must let them know what price they will pay for betraying me, Ye Han!"
