A thousand miles in the last days

Wei Xiuwen stared at the river in front of him in disbelief. In this hot weather, it should be as calm as stagnant water, but now it is abnormally bubbling, like, like boiling water that is about to boil.If you look closely, you can still see fish carcasses with fish belly white and curled up lifeless aquatic grasses.The sweat on his forehead flowed into his eyes, and there was a burning pain in his eyes. He looked at the people who came with him. They were complaining that the weather was too hot and the journey was too long, so they didn't notice the abnormal situation at all.

They had tried their best to dress as cool as possible, wearing umbrellas and straw hats, but they were still so hot that they could hardly breathe. Now they felt that even being washed by the rainstorm was much better than being almost dried out by the sun.The group of them escaped after their homes were buried by continuous torrential rains. Compared with being slowly placed and transported by the search and rescue team, they were more inclined to escape by themselves. As a result, they finally arrived in a city in the north with less rain. He stopped him from entering, saying that he had to wait for an investigation and the arrangement of the city government.They waited for several days. There was no other way. There were too many people, so they came up with a way to sneak in from the outside. Unexpectedly, the rain stopped, but the sun was unbearably hot.

It was also impossible to return to the south at this time, so they could only bite the bullet and go forward. They almost ate and drank all the things they brought, and a group of people began to worry.The hot weather can easily make people feel irritable. There were countless times of quarrels in the team along the way. It was nothing more than that they should not come here, why did they bring such a little thing... It made people feel extremely upset.

Wei Xiuwen stood up, wiped the sweat off his face, greeted those people, and continued walking.His left leg seems to have a disability, and he walks with a limp, but for this disabled person, the group of people are very convinced. From the moment they met him, he gave him everything in action and in life. Without their greatest help, otherwise it is still unknown whether they can reach here safely.Although it is bad and good, it never drags everyone back, but leads them forward like a leader.

At this time when he spoke, the complainer also held back his irritability a little bit, and continued to search for a temporary place to settle under the sun.However, the unknown future has caused some people to have unconscionable ideas.

In the middle of the night, Wei Xiuwen was awakened by a loud noise. He turned over and sat up. He went to find the bag next to him but found nothing. It contained all his dry food and water for the future, as well as self-defense knives.Knowing what happened in his heart, he got up without stopping and limped in the direction of the sound.

In the past, he would have quickly subdued these impromptu bastards, but with a limped leg, the exhaustion of the past few days had consumed almost all of his energy.He looked at the few people who returned in vain, sighed, and one person said in grief and indignation: "They stole everything, a bunch of dogs! Selfishness! What can we do now, and I don't know how far away the nearest town is." How far is it from here? It’s all our fault that we weren’t vigilant enough, and they took advantage of us!”

Wei Xiuwen patted him on the shoulder, "Tell the others, let's get on the road as soon as the temperature is low at night. It's an unusually hot day, so we can't stay outside for too long."

The man promised, and the others went to the back to call his friends and family members, and a group of poor people who had their food stolen took advantage of the night to set off again.

Xiao Leng nestled in the room, still studying the "Apocalypse at the End of the World" carefully, Qian Zhong unconsciously turned over beside him, muttered something, Xiao Leng curled his lips and smiled.There was a constant rhythmic snoring under the bed. Xiao Leng leaned over and took a look. Zhang Hao, who was bored reading a magazine, also fell asleep. Because the bedroom was too cool, Zhang Hao didn’t want to go back to his room. There were also some scruples about Xiao Leng and Qian Zhong's reluctance, but no matter how they looked at it, they didn't mean to be unhappy, so they stayed happily.

Turning over and getting out of bed, Xiao Leng carefully opened the door with bare feet at a speed that would not disturb them. She always stayed at home and didn't know what was going on outside.As expected, the floor outside was a bit warm. Xiao Leng opened the back door and came to the lee of the villa. Even so, his body, which was used to being cool, was too hot to bear.

All the plants are listless and listless. I don’t know if they can survive. The color of the land has also become very light. The sunny place must have begun to dry and crack. Thinking of this, Xiao Leng walked forward a few more times. Stepping forward, there is a small horizontal river outside the railing. Xiao Leng glanced at it unintentionally, but unexpectedly, he saw something very strange. It seemed that some small bubbles popped up on the river from time to time, like small fish spitting bubbles.

On such a hot day, the fish wouldn't be so stupid to come up and spit bubbles, right?Taking a closer look, it seems that you can still see a lot of white belly, and an incredible idea suddenly popped up in Xiao Leng's heart.On an ordinary hot day, the river water will burn your feet after a long time in the sun, not to mention the temperature, wouldn't it be boiling?

"What are you doing?" Qian Zhong's voice came from behind, and Xiao Leng mysteriously hooked his fingers to signal him to look into the river.

"It's because the weather is too hot, there is hardly any life in the water." And you, your face turned pale, Qianzhong grabbed Xiao Leng and walked into the room, even he felt a little uncomfortable.

"What's the matter?" Zhang Hao went downstairs sleepily, and when Xiao Leng told what he saw just now, Zhang Hao couldn't help but click his tongue, "No way, will the house melt in the sun if this continues? Let's go to the North Pole Bar?"

Qian Zhong looked at Xiao Leng, and Xiao Leng explained: "It's a very cold place, full of ice, at the northernmost end of the earth." Xiao Leng gestured with his fingers.

Qianzhong's eyes lit up: "Then let's go!"

Zhang Hao's eyes widened, his mouth curled into a beating arc, and he tried his best to hold back his smile.Xiao Leng was helpless, "Let's not talk about the long distance. It is covered with ice and snow, and the temperature is very low. Ordinary people can't stand it. And I don't know if it is affected by the high temperature. If so, what will happen to us after the ice and snow melt? It's very dangerous. So, first... let's find out the current situation there."

Zhang Hao said in shock: "Isn't it? You really depend on him! You're not a member of the Arctic expedition team, so you're looking for death if you go there?"

Xue Qianzhong despised him, "How could you be looking for death? With me here, you can't live a better life! Besides, it's so hot here, and you are in danger of sunburn and heatstroke if you go out, it's better to stay with ice and snow comfortably, yes Bar?"

What is the origin of this person to let such a big talk?But after Qianzhong said this, he inexplicably felt that he wanted to believe that he must have been assimilated into a fool by the two of them. He is an unparalleled thief with wisdom and stealing skills. How could he do something that has no chance of winning? !Zhang Hao seriously refused, "You two idiots, before you go out to the North Pole, you two will be roasted into charcoal! I'm not sure that I will save you with ice and snow!"

Xiao Leng nodded: "That's right! But if the weather doesn't cool down, aren't we waiting to die here?"

Zhang Hao looked at the two faces looking forward to the long journey, and said helplessly: "Then wait a few more days, the stored food will be eaten up by then, and it will be impossible if you don't go out."

I spent a decadent few days at home again, watching the daily TV news, where the floods continued, where the high temperature continued, Qianzhong was disappointed, there was no news about the North Pole.Xiao Leng comforted him, maybe there is no change there, if so, it would be great.

Just when everyone thought that the heat would never end, the weather turned around in a quiet night. When people woke up in the morning, they suddenly felt extremely cool. Opening the window, the cool breeze that poured in instantly made everyone almost cry with joy.On this day, the streets resumed their usual bustle and bustling, and all kinds of shops opened again. While people grieved for their loved ones who died in the high temperature, they were also full of hope for the future.Look, the end is not coming, we made it through.

The torrential rain in the south has gradually stopped, and the raging floods have also shown signs of subsiding. The post-disaster reconstruction project is about to start, and people who have fled their homes are gradually beginning to move back. They will eventually return to the place where they were born and raised, and too many people gather in the north. Cities have brought great inconvenience to these cities.

Zhang Hao sat on the dining table, knocked on the plate and said, "Hey, it seems to be back to normal again, does our trip to the North Pole still count?"

Xue Qianzhong was dissatisfied: "Of course it counts. If you don't go, I won't force you."

Xiao Leng ate the freshly fried sliced ​​meat, and felt that the taste was really bad. The meat was not fresh. He wanted to take advantage of the weather to buy meat to make up for it, but now he ruined his appetite. "If Mr. Thief didn't want to go, he wouldn't take the initiative to mention it. A few days ago, I seemed to see him reading a book about the North Pole!"

Zhang Hao conceded, "Stop! Every time you two join forces to deal with me, you are really not enough friends! There are still many places worth visiting in the Arctic Circle, but they are limited to the Arctic Circle. It is really the first time to go to the North Pole I was the one who was frozen to death! I'm really afraid of the cold... What kind of meat is this? It doesn't taste good at all!"

This topic changed really fast!Everyone didn't eat the meal well, even the leaves of the green vegetables were wilted, and the canned food they bought seemed to have deteriorated due to being exposed to high temperatures.The potatoes in the only good-tasting potato shreds were the ones he secretly asked Qianzhong to take out from the space, and they were eaten up.After the meal, they continued to discuss the trip to the North Pole, everyone was in high spirits, and then before they could buy the necessary equipment, the variables came again.

The next day, when Xiao Leng came out for a morning run to exercise, he found a strange crack appeared on the road outside the gate.
