Reborn in the end of the world, I scavenged in the empty city and bought for free

I was still woken up by the heat in the morning. After the temperature in the bedroom dropped last night, Gu Tongwan did not turn on the generator immediately. In the second half of the night, I directly turned on the fully charged battery fan. However, the stuffy room was still like a furnace. Even Aoao and Tutu had to hide in the bathroom.

The bathroom floor and ground are tiled, and there are two buckets of water, so lying on it will be somewhat cooler than in the room.

Even so, the two dogs were still so hot that they kept sticking out their tongues to cool down.

The consequence of being boiled raw was that the two dogs used their special abilities to lower their body heat, which in turn caused the temperature in the room to rise by several degrees. Suddenly, Gu Tongwan's entire body felt like it was soaked in water. His pajamas were soaked with hot sweat, and his entire body was sticky, making it even more uncomfortable to sleep.

At five o'clock in the morning, the two dogs couldn't bear it anymore and ran to her bed. One of them pulled her legs, and the other squatted in the corner waiting for her to wake up because of the heat.

Being bitten on the ankle by Tutu made Gu Tongwan, who was already sleeping uneasily, sit up immediately. There were faint blue circles under his eyes. He almost didn't sleep well all night due to the heat.

"Tutu, I'll turn on the air conditioner right away, you guys wait for me." He stood up with sleepy eyes barely open, stepped on the wooden floor in slippers, then walked to the second-floor balcony and directly turned on the solar generator. The electricity stored in the morning should be enough for a whole day.

The air conditioner took some time to cool down, so Gu Tongwan took the opportunity to take a shower. As a result, he saw a lot of dog hair in the bathroom. He could only shake his head to rinse the hair away.

It seems like it’s been nearly a month since the two puppies last had a bath. I’ll have to catch them and take them to the space for a thorough cleaning someday. Recently, the two puppies have felt a little worse to the touch, their hair has become a lot more tangled, and their appearance has also declined.

Solar power generation is not as fast as diesel engines. She remembered it last night and took great pains to install the battery panels on the balcony.

After washing my hair and taking a shower, I immediately felt much refreshed. I threw the dirty clothes of the past two days into the washing machine.

It takes another hour to wait for a call from the inner circle. The inner circle receives orders at 6 a.m., while the outer circle has to wait until after 7:30. The outer circle protested against this for a while. After all, 6:30 to 7:00 is the time when everyone gets up and prepares to go to work, and it is really hard to be without electricity during this period.

However, the base administration said that there are more administrative units in the inner circle and power outage would affect the work of departments here.

Part of these words are true, and part of them are just an excuse to give the powerful an excuse to ensure power outages.

After washing up, the second floor was almost cooled down, so I went downstairs.

The first floor was more like a furnace at this time. The thermometer in the living room showed that it was already 34 degrees before five o'clock. If it continued like this, the indoor temperature should reach around 40 degrees at noon, and the outdoor temperature would be at least 45 or 46 degrees.

It was still dark outside and the yard was pitch black and eerily quiet.

After Gu Tongwan came to the first floor, he did not turn on the air conditioner on the first floor. He took a quick look at the situation in the yard before returning to the second floor.

Although the two solar generators she purchased can operate two air conditioners at the same time, there is no need to consume extra electricity when no one is on the first floor, otherwise it will only increase consumption.

The weather was hot in the morning, and she didn't plan to light the fire in the kitchen unless it was necessary recently, at least she didn't plan to fry or stir-fry anything.

After taking out a bowl of iced eight-treasure porridge from the space, he took out a small milk and salt cake, filled his stomach and returned to the bedroom. At this time, the temperature in the bedroom had dropped to 26 degrees. Gu Tongwan did some simple yoga in the room, mainly to stretch the body, but did not plan to do too intense exercise. After all, the weather is hot now, and a little movement will make you sweat.

I completed a set of yoga moves while listening to the audio novel I downloaded before the end of the world.

After finishing yoga, it was exactly six o'clock in the morning. The sky was slightly bright. Gu Tongwan looked at the balcony on the second floor. The outdoor temperature was 42 degrees. So she turned on the air conditioner downstairs and adjusted it to 22 degrees. The living room was not big. It was originally more than 60 square meters. The living room only occupied 20 square meters, so after the heat dissipation, the first floor could be maintained at about 30 degrees.

Although the temperature is not very cool, it is at least much better than before.

The reason why people dare not turn on the air conditioner too low is that too low a temperature will cause the air conditioner to run too fast, which will produce condensed water droplets and cause the air conditioner to wear out. Secondly, they are worried that long-term use of the air conditioner will reduce the cooling capacity of the refrigerant inside.

After all, the home appliance manufacturing industry is still gradually recovering, and what the base can sell now are nothing more than second-hand air conditioners. Not only are the prices ridiculously expensive, but even if they are worn out and you want to repair them, you can't find suitable spare parts. Therefore, once a home appliance breaks down, the repair cost is at least half of the purchase price of the second-hand appliance.

Gu Tongwan went to the space and planned to tidy up the vegetable garden before dawn.

A batch of fruits planted previously have matured, so the other half of the land has been left empty. After all, if too many are planted, there is a fear that the fruits will pile up into a mountain.

During the past month and a half, the black market has not been able to operate smoothly. The fruits that were originally planned have been put on hold, and the piled up fruits can fill at least a small garage.

You won't sweat while working in this space, as the temperature inside is always maintained at the most suitable 20 degrees. Thinking of this, Gu Tongwan sat on the stool she had brought.

This set of mahogany tables and chairs was placed in the space by her when she was looting supplies in the empty city. Before, she occasionally needed to process some fruits in the orchard and make them into canned fruits or jams. The fruits could not be left on the ground all the time, so she simply placed a rectangular table about one and a half meters long here. Occasionally, when she was tired from doing farm work, she could drink tea and look at the vegetable garden here.

This time, she harvested some lemons. She happened to see lemon fruits on the shelves in the system mall. She thought that drinking some lemonade in the summer or making various juices with lemons would be extremely delicious.

In fact, lemon can not only be used as juice, but also made into herbal tea or snacks, such as lemon chicken feet, lemon chicken, lemon chicken wings, and seafood in sauce.

This time, we planted several different types of lemons, including Anyue yellow lemon, perfume lemon, and kumquat lemon, a total of three types of lemons. The orchard is now full of the fresh fragrance of lemons.

The table is now filled with various transparent glass jars. These are the remaining space. I just counted them and there are about thirty jars left in total. The big ones are intended to be used to make fruit wine, and the small ones are intended to be made into canned fruit and various jams.

The freshly harvested lemons were soaked in spiritual spring water and then sliced ​​separately. About 30 kilograms of passion fruit that had been harvested previously were taken out. Because I was too bored, I also started playing an audio novel in the space.

The system space cannot communicate with the outside world, but the amazing thing is that you can watch downloaded TV and novels in it, and the mobile phone acts as a mobile MP4.

The audio novel on the tablet was the Mary Sue CEO novel that she disliked the most before, but now she was listening to it with great gusto. She didn't understand why the older sister at her internship company always liked to listen to this kind of novel during lunch, but now she was listening to it with great interest.

Not to mention, even though the plot is a bit cliché, the author is able to make the story so full of ups and downs, one thing after another, that you'll want to keep listening.

The time agreed with Xiaoli is half past nine. There are still several hours left, which is just right for me to spend leisurely in the space.

However, there is a magical thing about this broken system. As long as you are "working seriously" or doing things in the space, the space will determine that you have a legitimate reason to continue staying in it. If you enter the space to escape or simply to cool off, you will be squeezed out immediately once you are judged.

Therefore, every time she entered the space, she would go to the vegetable garden to pick vegetables or check on the fruit seedlings, so that the system would recognize her as working, and then she could spend the rest of the time leisurely in it.

Of course, even when working, there is a time limit. You are only allowed to enter the space twice a day, and the maximum time each time is not allowed to exceed six hours. You are also not allowed to fall asleep in it.

He took out a sharp multi-purpose knife and skillfully cut the thirty kilograms of passion fruit in half in just one hour. Then he scooped out all the fruit with a spoon. The thirty kilograms were used to make a large pot of passion fruit jam.

Then pour the passion fruit jam into a dozen 1.5L glass jars, add the previously cut lemon slices, and add fresh honey and rock sugar. In this way, the lemon passion fruit jam is ready.

Jam can be eaten directly, mixed with various drinks, or even spread on bread.

After finishing the first batch, put the remaining lemon slices and passion fruit jam into separate containers. When you have time, you can try making lemon passion fruit chicken feet.

It just so happens that I have a batch of frozen chicken feet in my space that I bought from a hot pot restaurant for free. It would be so wonderful to stay in my room and eat chicken feet and watch TV series in the summer.

When I finished my work and came out, I found that the electric meter outside was running. It turned out that another electric fan that had been plugged in was starting up.

Gu Tongwan quickly stepped forward to turn off the fan. Now with the solar battery, some household electricity could be saved.

In the early stage, we can observe how long this extreme heat will last. Because of the butterfly effect, the life she is reborn in is completely separated from the previous life. At least at this time in the previous life, it was still in the stage of beast tide riots. She and the members of the Wanderer Organization were still hiding in the sewers, listening to the roars of various mutant beasts outside.

Gu Tongwan glanced at the temperature in the lobby on the first floor. It had risen from 30 degrees to 35 degrees. It seemed that the air conditioner at 22 degrees was no longer useful. It had to be set to at least 17 or 18 degrees to cool down quickly.

After turning off the air conditioner downstairs, Gu Tongwan applied a thick layer of sunscreen on his face before going out. He then put on a tight leather jacket that he hadn't worn for a long time, which could keep his body at a constant temperature and protect him from sunburn. He then put on a sun hat and held up a parasol before daring to drive out.

I didn’t bring Aoao and Tutu out because the weather was too hot. I didn’t want to let the two dogs suffer, and besides, we still need them to look after the house.

While driving and looking at the street scenes on the road, I found that since the extreme heat warning was issued, there are fewer and fewer people on the streets. Occasionally, you can see people driving to and from get off work in the inner circle, and occasionally you can see people riding bicycles to and from get off work, but many people wrap themselves tightly for fear of being sunburned by the scorching sun.

Gu Tongwan glanced down at the amount of gasoline. There was still half of the gasoline left in the barrel. She had been using the car more frequently recently. Although she only drove it within the base, the gasoline in the space was decreasing little by little. Although she had stockpiled a batch of goods at the beginning, it would not last for three or four years. Therefore, she would have to find a way to buy gasoline from the black market later on.

When driving to the outer circle, there are fewer and fewer pedestrians, and even cars are rarely seen. When passing by the commercial district, there are very few shops willing to open in the usually bustling streets. The weather is too hot, and opening the shops will only waste water and electricity bills, unless it is a drug store or some shops selling beverages that have always had good business. In other places, even restaurants find it difficult to do business. The high temperature will only accelerate the decay of food. Many restaurants now dare not buy meat in large quantities. After all, when the power outage lasts longer, the meat will produce an odor in less than six hours, and the only ones who will lose money at that time will be the merchants themselves.

The restaurant of the proprietress's guesthouse is also closed, but there are plans to sell fruit juice. However, she needs to think carefully about what kind of juice to make and how to keep it from spoiling.

When I entered the restaurant on the first floor, I saw Xiaoli holding a small rechargeable electric fan and blowing it towards herself. Lan Qin next to her also looked a little listless due to the hot weather.

Everyone was very happy to see Gu Tongwan, whom they hadn't seen for several days, and the proprietress immediately brought him a glass of water.

"I put it in the refrigerator this morning. It's been more than two hours. Drink it while it's still cold."

"Thank you Aunt Man."

Gu Tongwan took a sip and found the cold water really made him feel more comfortable all over.

"Aunt Man, business isn't very good recently?"

Seeing that the store was deserted, I had no idea what the accommodation situation was like now.

Aunt Man could only smile bitterly and said, "That's just the way it is. After you moved out, a family of three and a couple moved in. Their income is not enough to maintain the daily expenses of the guesthouse. We used to make money from the restaurant. Now the weather is hot, and most companies and construction sites are closed. Many people's income has been reduced by half, so they are naturally unwilling to go out to eat. Moreover, it is exhausting to go out. The restaurant is close to two fans and it is still very hot. Fortunately, business was good last year and we saved some capital. Let's get through this period first and see whether the weather will improve and whether the government will take relevant measures. If it continues, the economy will be affected, and companies will definitely be unwilling to pay taxes. The base cannot just sit back and do nothing."

Gu Tongwan nodded and agreed with the proprietress's opinion. After all, the base's economic income now basically depends on taxes from most enterprises.
