The new era of mankind with destiny in hand at the end of the world
Chapter 278 Extreme Heat
Since the threat of the predators has completely disappeared, the people of Hope Base have lived a peaceful life again.
Every morning, everyone starts to get busy.
Some people hunt mutant animals near the base. Although the meat of these mutant animals is not as good as before the mutation, it is rich in nutrients and can replenish energy for everyone.
Others formed teams to go out in search of supplies. They crossed the ruins of the city, looking for useful items such as food, medicine, daily necessities, energy, etc.
Every time they returned to the base, they not only brought back valuable supplies, but also occasionally found some surviving humans and brought them back to the base.
As time went by, the Hope Base grew like a snowball.
As the number of people increases day by day, the number of villas that were originally vacant has decreased, with only one in ten remaining.
At the same time, the area of indoor fields where food was previously grown is also constantly expanding to meet the needs of more people.
The base's defensive fortifications are of paramount importance. After repeated reinforcement and improvement, they are now as solid as a rock.
In this process, the newly joined survivors have undoubtedly become the fresh blood of the Hope Base, and they each play to their own expertise and advantages.
Some people are good at medicine and can bring people back to life and treat the wounded; some people are good at making tools to make life more convenient; some people are good at planting and can grow vegetables and grains to produce abundant harvests; and some people have powerful combat capabilities and protect everyone's safety.
The addition of these outstanding talents is like injecting a force into the Hope Base, making it even stronger.
However, with the rise of Hope Base, external threats are also quietly increasing.
The number of mutant creatures continues to emerge like mushrooms after rain, and their attack power is becoming more and more ferocious, which is daunting.
In addition, competition among other survivor groups is becoming increasingly fierce.
In order to compete for limited resources, some people are willing to resort to extreme means, even unscrupulous means.
The living environment in the end times is becoming increasingly complex and changeable.
……
The extremely cold weather lasted for three months. When people had adapted to life in the extremely cold weather, the weather suddenly changed again.
The originally bitingly cold air began to warm up, as if spring had quietly arrived.
Just as people were taking off their heavy cotton jackets and winter clothes, rejoicing that the severe cold had finally gone away, the temperature rose rapidly at an alarming rate.
In just a few days, the land covered by glacier snow melted, the rivers thawed, and all things came back to life.
However, this sudden warmth did not bring much joy to people.
On the contrary, they were filled with doubts and worries because the temperature rose too abnormally quickly.
Many people began to speculate whether this meant a greater disaster was about to strike.
Some believe this could be a way for the Earth to self-regulate, trying to return to normal climate patterns, while others worry that such rapid warming could trigger more severe natural disasters, such as floods, droughts, or rising sea levels from melting polar ice caps.
Experts from the Kyoto Organization launched an emergency study, but just like how the apocalypse broke out, they still could not find the cause of the abnormal temperature.
However, after field investigations, it can be confirmed that the polar glaciers are indeed beginning to melt due to the high temperature weather.
If the extremely hot weather lasts as long as the extreme cold, most of the land on the blue planet will be submerged and turned into a vast ocean.
As a result, humans will face huge survival challenges and need to find new places to live or adapt to life on the water.
……
Hope Base, meeting room
It was so quiet that you could hear a pin drop, and only the sound of the old tape recorder echoed in the air.
"Sizzle... sizzle..." The recorder was turned on, and the sound coming out of it made everyone present prick up their ears nervously.
This is a piece of news from Kyoto, speculating on extremely hot weather.
As the message played, the atmosphere in the conference room became increasingly heavy.
People's faces gradually became gloomy, as if the whole world was collapsing before them.
When the recording ended, the conference room fell into deathly silence.
Everyone sat quietly, their eyes wandering, revealing deep despair and helplessness.
At this moment, An Ning suddenly stood up and broke the suffocating silence.
Her voice was firm and powerful: "We can't just sit there and wait for death! Although the real cause of the abnormal temperature is still unclear, we can't just wait like this. We must take action to deal with the impending disaster."
Her words were like a ray of light that illuminated the people in the darkness and brought them a glimmer of hope.
Then, An Ning elaborated on her plan in detail: "First, we need to build a waterproof dam as soon as possible to prevent the invasion of sea water. Secondly, we need to prepare enough large ships and life-saving equipment so that we can evacuate quickly when necessary. Finally, we also need to find higher land as an alternative habitat to ensure that if something happens to the base, we have a safe place to go."
With An Ning's proposal, the atmosphere in the conference room began to liven up, and vitality and energy reappeared on people's faces.
The residents of the Hope Base know that the road ahead may be difficult, but they are not without hope.
I hope everyone in the base will temporarily put aside other matters in their hands and devote themselves to preparing for the upcoming extremely hot weather.
Apart from having to deal with daily attacks on the base from zombies and mutated animals, everyone acts in an orderly manner according to the established plan.
They were divided into small groups, each with clear tasks and responsibilities.
Some people were responsible for building flood control embankments. They worked tirelessly to carry stones, sandbags and wood, and carefully built a solid line of defense in the hope of withstanding the impact of the surging sea water. Others prepared boats and some rescue equipment to ensure that there were sufficient resources to save lives in critical moments. Still others embarked on a journey to explore the surrounding highlands, trying to find potential shelters and safe areas.
Everyone gave 100% of their effort without reservation, with only one belief in their hearts: to make the most comprehensive preparations possible before the disaster strikes.
