Natural disaster at the beginning: I will lead the system to build a safe zone
Chapter 127 Watermelon
"Come on, come on, everyone take a piece and try it first." The village chief was like a salesman, urging the villagers to come up and eat the melons.
Due to the village chief's favoritism, Shi Anan got the largest and most central piece. She could smell the cool scent of the red watermelon flesh before she even put it into her mouth. She took a bite, and the crisp and sweet watermelon juice burst in her mouth instantly. Well, the watermelons grown at home are different from those injected with hormones!
Shi Anan was still able to remain calm, but the other villagers were not so calm. In ancient times, it was rare to eat sweet things. Even fruits were mostly sour due to the problems of many wild species. How could they have the chance to eat such a delicious fruit as watermelon!
Each of them was like a traveler in the desert who had been refreshed by the sweet rain and was immersed in the deliciousness of watermelon.
"Village chief, what did you just say this melon is called? Watermelon, right? Why is it called watermelon? It is the real melon!" Sun Dazhuang ate it in small bites, a little reluctant to finish it so quickly.
Staying in such a cool room and eating some cool fruit, he felt that every pore of his body was breathing with joy. This was the life a god should live!
"Miss Shi said it's called watermelon, so just eat your watermelon. Why ask so many whys?" The village chief thought to himself, I don't know why it's called watermelon either.
Shi Anan said while chewing a melon: "Calling it watermelon is just a habitual name. According to legend, watermelons flowed in from a place called the Western Regions, so we call it watermelon. It doesn't have much meaning, so there's no need to get hung up on it."
"The Western Region? There is a Western Region in the world of the gods, so is there one here as well?"
Sun Dazhuang's mouth couldn't be idle. No matter how slowly he ate the watermelon, he still finished it. The village chief didn't bring any more, so he had to watch others eat while talking to divert his attention.
"There should be, after all, the world is so big that there are all kinds of wonders." Although this is a different world and the Apocalypse Dynasty is not in any dynasty recorded in history, she does not know the development process of civilization here, but since some places are similar to ancient China, then the Western Regions must exist.
Sun Dazhuang was about to say something when he was interrupted by the village chief: "Okay, okay, why do you have so many questions? Don't disturb Miss Shi when she's done eating. If you're bored, come with me to the fields."
When Sun Dazhuang heard this, he didn't want to leave this comfortable summer house: "No, no, go by yourself, it's so hot."
"Hey, you lazy guy. If you don't work, don't even think about eating melons next time." The village chief threatened him.
Sun Dazhuang was not afraid: "I won't listen, you have no say, I'm so old, how can you bear to let me go to the fields?"
The village chief got even angrier when he heard this: "You talk as if I'm not that old. I remember you're one year younger than me!"
"That must be because you are still strong despite your old age." Sun Dazhuang muttered.
Hearing the two old kids bickering again, Shi Anan couldn't help laughing. This Grandpa Sun was really an interesting person. In fact, he did a lot of work in normal times, but when it came to the village chief, he was rebellious and had the toughest mouth of his whole body.
Sun Dazhuang said he didn't want to go, but when he thought about the watermelons, he followed the village chief to the fields. He wanted to pick some watermelons while it was still early.
It was soon noon, the time of the day when the temperature was the highest. Shi Anan opened the system's weather forecast and saw that the current temperature was 45 degrees Celsius.
It’s too hot, too hot. You’ll really get burned if you go out.
No matter young or old, those working outside could bear such temperatures, and the poultry were also given some ice to cool them down.
We all went to the summer house to escape the heat. Originally, the summer house on the school side was relatively quiet, but now with so many people it became a bit noisy, and everyone's clothes were soaked with sweat. The smell was really unpleasant the moment we came in.
Fortunately, this solar air conditioner purifies the air very quickly, and after a short while, the sweat odor caused by people gathering together disappeared. Although clothes soaked with sweat are uncomfortable to wear, they cannot be particular about so many conditions now. They are already very lucky to be able to stay in such a comfortable place.
Just as everyone in Guangming Village was enjoying a sumptuous lunch in the comfortable summer house, a group of ragged people were walking towards Guangming Village.
There were about sixty or seventy people in this group, but they looked in terrible condition. Their shriveled bodies looked like zombies, and their eyes were numb and lifeless, as if they had been hungry for a long time.
"Plop--" An older man who was lagging behind in the team suddenly fell down with convulsions, and soon began foaming at the mouth. However, such a big noise only caused the person closest to him to look back, and after a faint glance, he continued to follow the team forward.
It’s not their fault that they are indifferent, as they have seen such scenes too many times.
Since natural disasters have continued to occur, they have seen dead bodies every day. At first, they would go forward to show concern or sigh, but now they have lost interest in even taking a look. After all, even they themselves don’t know when they will fall on this land forever like that man.
"Mom, I'm so hot." In the middle of the team, a mother and son, no, it should be a mother and daughter, were holding hands and walking forward with the others in the team with unsteady steps.
At first glance, you couldn't tell that it was a little girl because her hair was messy, her face was covered in dirt, and she looked unkempt. Her mother was no less dirty, too.
In fact, they made themselves dirty on purpose. The woman's husband was trying to find food for them during the extreme cold, but he was accidentally frozen to death and died.
Only the mother and daughter were left. It was not safe for women in such a chaotic world. Although everyone's life was hard, there were still some crazy people. Since her husband passed away, she often felt that some obscure eyes were secretly watching her. So she made herself sloppy and made her daughter sloppy. Seeing her so dirty, those eyes watching her became less.
When the woman heard her daughter complaining about the heat, she could only helplessly say, "Just bear with it a little longer, it will be here soon."
Who wouldn't feel hot in such weather? The previous extreme cold was so cold that she lost her husband and her daughter lost her father. The mother and daughter were lucky enough to escape the sky fire and thought that life would get better, but who knew that the extreme heat would come again.
She could feel that her current condition was not very good, and she didn't know how long she could hold on, but as long as her daughter was still there, she would always hold on.
"Rest where you are."
Just when the mother and daughter felt they were about to faint under such a scorching sun, the leaders in the front of the team finally asked to rest. In fact, if they didn't rest, they would be killed by the heat.
