On July 7, the daytime temperature reached 18 degrees, and the central radio announced to the whole country that extreme heat had officially arrived.

At this temperature, at which proteins begin to denature, the base's general protection arrangements are in place:

Just like during the extreme cold period, the base also implemented zone management. With the experience of extreme cold, it was easy to get back on track:

Ordinary people should not go out during the day. They should stay at home during the day and go out at night according to their own situation. Those who disobey orders will bear the consequences at their own risk.

The people with special abilities form teams, responsible for distributing water and supplies every day, or taking turns patrolling with the security team.

Even if one has awakened a supernatural power that allows one to be resistant to cold or heat, it is easy to become dehydrated if one stays out for a long time in this kind of weather.

Therefore, the psychics participated in the temporary rescue work of the base more actively than during the extreme cold period, as they could get supplies or points as rewards without taking any risks.

However, even so, the continued soaring temperatures still resulted in deaths every day and hospitals were all overcrowded.

The temperature is still rising, but after reaching 60 degrees, it is rising more slowly than before. Experts predict based on current data:

8月中到9月中期间是最热的,气温大概在67到72度之间摆动,等到10月开始缓慢下降,10下旬恢复正常……

This is roughly the trend, and it is the same as what Jiang Nian knew in his previous life.

If you go out it’s teppanyaki, if you stay at home it’s a steamer. There is no other way but to stew it.

"..."

Dryness and extreme heat can easily cause spontaneous combustion, so fire prevention at the base became a top priority, and the frequency of the security team's day and night patrols increased several times.

Fortunately, no matter how high the temperature is during the day, it will drop by more than ten degrees at night.

For example, after being exposed to temperatures of over 60 degrees during the day, 50 degrees at night seems much more intimate.

Therefore, even if the temperature inside the house is lower than outside, after getting used to it for a while, many people still choose to go out at night to get some fresh air, which can also save electricity.

Jiang Nian felt that humans who could survive extreme cold and heat were extremely evolved, even if they did not have special powers.

At the same time, Cheng Jing and Yang Kai are responsible for the management and allocation of the non-official special personnel who are recruited, whether temporary or permanent.

The two big brothers divided the recruited psychics into many small groups based on the actual situation.

The team consists of 10 people, led by members of 017 or one person selected from the group.

There are 50 groups in total. The members of other groups were randomly assigned by drawing lots, but Jiang Nian's members were 4 pairs of heterosexual couples plus Tang Ji, who were specially selected by Cheng Jing.

Huang Qian and others were very disgusted with the eldest brother's behavior of "smuggling goods".

Cheng Jing asked directly in public:

"Don't you like my arrangement?"

Everyone: "..." Who would dare to say they don't like it when asked this way?

Jiang Nian saw through his thoughts and nodded with a smile:

"Of course I like it. This is good. It will be easier for me to perform with Tang Ji around."

Although he is a little scheming, Brother Jing is also worried that he cannot suppress the psychics who are generally a bit arrogant. He is not afraid with Tang Ji around.

If the others were lovers, they could avoid a lot of unnecessary embarrassment and trouble, mainly because his brother from Jiajing had become more troublesome than before.

After getting a satisfactory answer, Cheng Jing glanced at the "envious" people.

Everyone: "..."

Now Tang Ji has been officially recruited by the South City Base and has become an internal staff member. He works with Chu Yi to guard Laboratory Building No. 3 on a daily basis, and occasionally cooperates in drawing blood for examinations or something.

The work was easy, but boring, so when Cheng Jing asked Minister Wang for his opinion and asked for his opinion, he agreed without hesitation, which made Chu Yi very envious.

The couples who were recruited together were grateful to Captain Cheng, and they also knew that their captain, who looked kind and gentle, was the 'Captain's Wife'.

The supernatural power is of an auxiliary type, so I said at the beginning that it would not be used under normal circumstances, thus dampening their curiosity.

Just looking at the interaction between the two, you can tell that this is a bowl of dog food that is irresistible.

"..."

After the teams were properly assigned, the "Holy Oxen and Horses" began to work.

At first, Jiang Nian’s teammates thought he was as easy to talk to as he looked, and were worried that encountering an unreasonable person would affect their efficiency.

Until I saw him not only talking but also doing it:

Those who use moral blackmail are silenced, and those bad guys who want to embezzle their partner's supplies and accuse them of meddling in other people's business are beaten up.

Finally, report the names and information of those people, and if they do it again, they will be sent to move bricks and build the wall.

Those who were morally blackmailed shut up, the bad guys became honest, and all people's worries disappeared.

A week passed like this, and among the 50 teams, their group's work progressed the most smoothly.

The main thing is that when the survivors cooperate well, their captain is well-behaved and easy to talk to, and even gives people candy. When the survivors do not cooperate, their captain is unambiguous in everything from arguing with people to pulling out a gun.

Tang Ji discovered that Jiang Nian, who lost Cheng Jing's suppression, seemed to be in an abnormal mental state, a little "crazy".

……

On my days off, I go to my parents’ house to eat and drink.

Jiang Nian got the new week's schedule, called each team member one by one to inform them, and then edited the text messages and sent them to a group.

This week it was their team's turn to deliver supplies to the dormitory for the volunteers who were building the outer wall of the base, which was also the cell area of ​​the base.

Work with the logistics staff to prepare the packaging and send it over.

Just complete the task from 1pm in the afternoon to 6pm in the evening, and you can arrange time to rest in the middle.

After 7 o'clock in the evening, they will be responsible for patrolling the first half of the night according to the designated route and get off work around 1 o'clock in the morning.

Different tasks have different working hours and there is no fixed route, which is also to prevent any situation where someone is planning to cause trouble.

Jiang Nian thought about the people he had caught in the church before and wondered how they had been reformed.

"..."

"Niannian, are you done with your work? Have a bowl of jelly first. We'll have noodles with gravy for lunch. I see you haven't been eating much lately."

Mother Cheng brought a bowl of jelly mixed with brown sugar water and placed it on the coffee table. Jiang Nian, who was discussing shift matters with the team members, looked up and smiled:

"Thank you, Mom. It's too hot to be around the stove. Just make something simple."

After saying that, he immediately put down his phone and took a sip. It was icy and comfortable as it melted in his mouth.

Mother Cheng looked at him lovingly:

"It's okay. We are much better off than the outside areas. You work hard, so just tell me what you want to eat. Don't be bothered. In this kind of weather, the body loses energy quickly, and we can't make up for it."

They have generators, batteries, and power supply from the base. The air conditioners and fans in their house are on, so if they don't go out, they won't feel the extreme heat. They are really lucky.

Jiang Nian said sweetly:

"Okay, you and dad make what we want to eat every day."

This is the real 'taste of home'.

The two elders don't go out now, and are responsible for the food and drink of the three office workers every day. They don't need their help, and they are also worried about their poor appetite, so they prepare food in different ways.

Jiang Nian is now feeling lucky even in his dreams, it is really great to stock up on supplies, stocking up on some random things can often bring surprises, the jelly was just something he picked up casually.

Mother Cheng smiled with her eyes narrowed, then turned and walked into the kitchen.

Just when Jiang Nian finished drinking the jelly, the sound of a key turning was heard at the door, and a burst of hot air rushed in from the door, and Cheng Jing walked in.
