Chapter 299: Natural Disasters and Doomsday Cannon Fodder (7)

"What's in here?" Shen Yao lowered his head with a hesitant look on his face.

You can see the appearance of protective clothing, but we are facing drought, so the protective clothing is useless. The natural disaster should not involve man-made factors such as viruses or nuclear leaks.

"It is protective clothing, made of special material. It can block the sun's rays and is heat-insulating and cold-resistant." It is highly functional and a high-tech product.

The reason why Wei Mingyu had it was entirely because of his identity and internal purchasing channels. In a few days, the relevant products would be officially available on the shelves, but there were many restrictions. Wei Mingyu was worried about Shen Yao, so he bought a few sets in advance and sent them over.

After briefly explaining the issue of protective clothing, Wei Mingyu also mentioned that this warming is not an isolated case, but a global drought.

According to the meteorological department's forecast, the drought will probably last until mid-to-late July, and the outdoor temperature in Rimu City is even expected to exceed 50 degrees Celsius.

"These protective suits are prepared for going out, and there may be migration."

When the temperature rises to a certain level, it will be difficult to live on the ground. The country has already made preparations, including building shelters underground.

If they reach a point of desperation, they will move into underground shelters and live there until the temperature outside stabilizes.

Upon hearing this, Shen Yao hurriedly thanked Wei Mingyu. The importance of protective clothing is self-evident. The other party was able to give it to her at this time, and she must remember this favor.

Wei Mingyu smiled and said, "I'll go back first. No one's home recently, so I'll trouble you to keep an eye on them."

After handing the key to his house to Shen Yao, Wei Mingyu said nothing more. He wiped the sweat from his forehead and turned to leave.

Shen Yao didn't close the door until she saw the other person come in.

The two doors were strong enough that no sound could be heard after they were closed. Shen Yao looked down at the protective clothing in the plastic bag, took it out and put it away in the storage room.

She had a layer of sweat on her body because of the busyness just now. Fortunately, there was no water or power outage at this time, so Shen Yao quickly took a shower to cool off.

It’s a pity that I only ate half of the cold noodles. I can only clean it up and eat it when I’m hungry again.

At this critical juncture, wasting food is not an option. Shen Yao has money but doesn't want to be a fool who is out of touch with the world. She has her own pursuits and persistence.

After taking care of her personal hygiene, Shen Yao washed up and fell asleep.

The rising temperature outside is a disaster for workers and students, but it is not a big deal for sick college students like Shen Yao who don’t have to go to school or work.

Anyway, there was enough food at home and the air conditioner was still working, so Shen Yao didn't need to go out at all.

I stayed at home like this until mid-June, when the temperature in Rimu City rose to 40 degrees Celsius. All schools and companies were put on hold, and everyone stayed at home except for essential jobs.

Shen Yao was holding a laptop, with an air conditioner blowing cold air next to her.

At this time, she was browsing the news on the Internet. Because there were too few new protective suits, she failed to get one after three days of trying.

Hey

Thanks to Wei Mingyu's foresight, otherwise Shen Yao would have to go through a lot of trouble relying on her own abilities.

Snapped--

The laptop was closed manually, and Shen Yao slumped against the sofa behind her, with fatigue in her eyes.

We still underestimated the harm of natural disasters. There is still room in Rimu City, and other provinces and cities can already use it to boil eggs. Most of the protective clothing produced is used to support life-saving, but it is still not enough. Large numbers of elderly people and children still lose their lives one after another.

It’s not that the government is not taking action, it’s just that human power cannot withstand natural disasters. Who can withstand such temperatures? We are all just ordinary people.

Touching her shriveled stomach, Shen Yao muttered softly that she was hungry, then got up and ran to the kitchen to cook.

It was still boiled cold noodles and a dish of mixed cucumbers. Shen Yao felt satisfied both physically and mentally after eating it, and her heavy mood was also relieved by the company of delicious food.

Unfortunately, this good mood did not last long, because soon the power outage occurred in Rimu City.

The air conditioner cannot be used after the power outage, and the most important thing is the food in the refrigerator.

There was no other way, Shen Yao could only put the refrigerator at home into the temporarily vacant space, and took out ice cubes to cool down and relieve the heat.

The internet was in an uproar over the power outage. After all, when the temperature rises, everyone relies entirely on air conditioning to keep going. How can you survive without air conditioning in such hot and humid weather?

In the community groups on mobile phones, there were constant reports of people fainting or convulsing due to the heat. The police station phone was unreachable and the hospital phone was busy. It was a complete mess.

Shen Yao was powerless to do anything about it. She could only take care of herself and not cause trouble for others.

The phone was burning hot, an obvious sign of overuse, but fortunately the problem was not serious. After turning off the phone, Shen Yao picked up her laptop and went to the study to work. When the matter was over, Wei Mingyu contacted her.

But it’s not often seen. Wei Mingyu has been so busy lately that Shen Yao can hardly see him.

"The police station is short of staff, so we have to fill in. Is everything alright at home?"

Wei Mingyu's words were cold and indifferent, just like him.

"It's okay, everything is fine at home, but the power outage caused the temperature in the room to rise, and someone in the community fainted." This is an inevitable situation that will occur when there is a power outage, but the power outage is not controllable. If the hot weather melts the wires, we can only wait for them to be repaired.

"I'll call in the evening. There aren't many things in the refrigerator in my room. You can take whatever you like." If they were left there, they would be spoiled and corroded. Wei Mingyu thought it was a shameful waste, so he decided to give them to people in need.

That’s right, Shen Yao was the one in need, and Wei Mingyu gave her what she needed without any hesitation.

Shen Yao:......

Shen Yao hurried to the room opposite, took out the few frozen foods left in the refrigerator, and patiently helped clean up.

It's not good to take other people's things for free. Although Shen Yao doesn't need these things, she still has to show her appreciation.

Shen Yao touched her chin with one hand and pulled the curtains in Wei Mingyu's room to block out the light. She patted her arms and let out a breath.

call

It turns out that you can't move around when there's no power. Just this warm and sticky state makes people feel uncomfortable.

Shen Yao forced herself to go back to her room and collapsed on the sofa, not moving a muscle. Finally, a phone call came in to save her and she was given a warm bath.

However, the call did not ease the chaos in the community. People who fainted from the heat needed a car to be taken to the hospital, and the elderly and children at home also had to be left with someone to take care of them.

The group was very noisy. Shen Yao saw several people asking if anyone could help, but unfortunately no one responded. Perhaps everyone was frightened by the situation and subconsciously feared trouble and didn't want to cause trouble.

The same goes for Shen Yao. She has a car, but doesn't want to go out in such hot weather. Even dark can't relieve the high temperature. She doesn't think she can cope with it by going to the hospital.

Wei Mingyu kept telling her not to go to the hospital, and she listened to his advice.

However, it was useless for Shen Yao to listen to the advice. Everyone else knew that Shen Yao had a car, especially those who lived in the same building. It was difficult for most people to refuse someone who came to their door to take them to the hospital.

Shen Yao: ...Thank you for the invitation. She is not an ordinary person.

"Sorry, I'm not going to the hospital. You might as well ask other people." If there are people who drive, you can pay for a ride, which is much more convenient than asking her to take you there.

Shen Yao refused decisively and also asked other people in the group. This made the young couple who came to her house be stunned and finally left in a hurry.

Some of their children had suffered from heatstroke, and the medicine they took did not provide much relief. They were worried that the condition would get worse if they stayed any longer, so they decided to go to the hospital.

According to Shen Yao, it would be better to stay at home and enjoy the air conditioning. After a major power outage in the afternoon, the situation in the hospital would not be much better.

If you really take your child to the hospital, it might even make your own condition worse.

Especially when the car is stuck on the road, with no village in front and no shop behind, and the temperature is high, the scene is so beautiful that it makes people scared just thinking about it.

Shaking her head, Shen Yao told Wei Mingyu about what had just happened. Unexpectedly, Wei Mingyu was free at this time and called her immediately.

After answering the call, Shen Yao explained that she did not go, but just asked him to find someone else.

"You did the right thing. The hospital is a mess and it's not as comfortable as staying at home. If you're not feeling well, it's best to rest." It's not advisable to run around at this time. No one knows when the next disaster will strike.

Shen Yao asked where Wei Mingyu was. There was a lot of noise coming from the receiver, and it was possible that he was on secret business.

"I'm in the hospital, helping to maintain order," that's why I was afraid that Shen Yao would come.

It would not be an exaggeration to say that the hospital was like hell on earth at this time, with people everywhere.

There were messy footsteps, wailing screams, and the patients’ family members who were begging for mercy and collapsing.

Wei Mingyu wiped his face, but unfortunately, due to the thick protective shield, some of his movements seemed very clumsy.

He kept his eyes fixed on the people in the hall and would rush up to stop any unusual movement. Wei Mingyu and his colleagues had been maintaining order in the hospital for some time. Unfortunately, there was a shortage of staff everywhere in Rimu City, and it was difficult to find an opportunity to change shifts and rest.

Helpless, just keep holding on, maybe you can take a break someday.

Wei Mingyu comforted himself in his heart and acted without any hesitation. When he heard someone calling him for help, he ran over hurriedly.

…………

Another night passed, and Shen Yao calmed down from yesterday's chaos.

The community group is still very chaotic, but compared to yesterday's panic, it obviously looks much better today.

Or maybe it’s not quite right to say that, because some people haven’t come back yet, and they’ve been stuck in traffic either at the hospital or on the road trying to get to the hospital, and they haven’t been able to get what they wanted, and they’re saying bad things in the group.

The phone screen was flooded with messages. Looking at the messages that could be read at a glance, Shen Yao sighed. It was really troublesome.

Life will become more and more difficult in the future. Now such a small matter can cause such a big quarrel. Who knows how many bad things will happen in the future.

blah-

Turning off the screen of her mobile phone, Shen Yao got up to cook. No matter what time it was, she had to make sure she was comfortable.

After eating and drinking, Shen Yao changed into sportswear and simply used the spacious living room to exercise. As to whether it was useful or not, it was not known for the time being.

However, with Shen Yao's extraordinary arm strength, people should be able to feel it.

It's a pity that I haven't met the candidate yet. After all, there is no chaos in Rimu City. Shen Yao is not allowed to show her strength. It's really a sweet burden.

Eating, exercising, writing novels, sleeping, and finding time to chat with Wei Mingyu and report safety, Shen Yao's daily life can be described as extremely boring.

But such a boring life still arouses envy and jealousy from many people.

As time goes by, the temperature outside is rising.

Other cities are already extremely hot, and Rimu City is soon to follow suit.

The phenomenon of water and power outages has changed from occasional at the beginning to frequent now. What can Shen Yao say? She can only use her own supplies to make her live as comfortably as possible.

During this period, Wei Mingyu came back twice, both times in a hurry.

Shen Yao not only found that Wei Mingyu had lost weight, but his skin had also become a darker shade, which showed that he had suffered a lot outside.

There was a thin veil between the two of them, and no one had ever revealed it. They both knew that they had some feelings for each other, even though it seemed inappropriate at this time.

……

In July, the weather became hotter and hotter, and the ground began to crack and traces appeared.

Shen Yao looked at the room where the water and power were out again, and silently turned on the electric fan. She placed an ice basin filled with ice cubes in front of the fan, bringing a hint of coolness with the wind.

Fortunately, she had the foresight to buy tools that could store electricity in advance, otherwise who could have endured it by herself?

The community group has counted the families who need to relocate. The temperature is too hot and it is dangerous to stay on the ground. The elderly and children have been transferred to underground shelters. Those being counted now are healthy adults.

Shen Yao was naturally on the list. Although she could live well without going, the most taboo thing at a time like this was not to fit in, as it would be easy to expose something serious.

Although Shen Yao was not afraid of anything, she still felt it was a bit troublesome to face such a huge official machine.

Especially since most of their own methods are useless, once the official intervention is made, they will most likely compromise and admit defeat.

Forget it. What's the good of an ending that can be seen with the naked eye? It's better to abide by the rules honestly. According to the official practice, she won't be embarrassed or anything.

"Gather at the gate at 6pm tomorrow. You don't need too much stuff, but it's just a temporary arrangement. We will all be back soon."

The administrator called out in the group, but not many people responded because they were really exhausted by the high temperatures day after day.

Shen Yao typed a message saying "received". She believed that they would be able to come back, and earlier than expected.

But at the same time, coming back does not mean the disaster is over, it just means that we have survived the initial drought and other disasters that followed.

After preparing her luggage and closing and locking the door of the storage room, Shen Yao came out of the room at 5:30 p.m. the next day, carrying enough food for herself. She wore protective clothing and walked up the stairs silently to the entrance of the community.

Quite a few people have gathered at the entrance of the community. Compared with the situation in the entire community, there are still more than half fewer people. This is no wonder. After all, the community is special, and they are the last batch to leave now.

"Are all the people here? Gather quickly and don't wander around randomly."

The administrator stood at the front, shouting everywhere with a loud speaker in his hand. Fortunately, the protective clothing they wore could resist some of the rising temperature, allowing people to withstand the outdoor temperature. Otherwise, they would not be able to stand even if they just stood there, let alone walk over.
