GBP Chapter 30 High Temperature Apocalypse 2
Chapter 30 High Temperature Apocalypse 2
There are five days left until the temperature rises.
Yan Yiping has moved to Beiyuan City.
She plans to stay in Kitahara City for a while before leaving.
During this time, I received a call from Yan's mother. She first complained about the weather, saying that the family business had not been as good as before, and then subtly inquired about her salary.
Yan Yiping pretended not to know and complained about how tiring it was to work, saying that she should have stayed at home like her older cousins did when they were in college.
Perhaps worried that she would really come back, Yan's mother said that she had something to do at home and hurriedly hung up the phone.
I guess the couple were worried that their daughter had regained consciousness and came to test the waters.
However, the original owner had said that he would have nothing to do with Hu Liu Village from now on.
She stopped worrying about anything else.
Anyway, the system will tell her whatever fun things happen.
The television in the living room was showing news, mostly high-temperature weather warnings.
The heat outside was intense; you couldn't stand in the sun for more than a minute before feeling like you were about to be roasted alive.
The hospital was packed with patients suffering from heatstroke and heat exhaustion.
Only one vehicle after another was traveling on the road.
Many people who are used to saving money will walk to places like shopping malls and subway stations to cool off every day.
Some cities have opened their air-raid shelters to the public.
The variety of fruits and vegetables in the market doesn't seem as good as before.
Some more cautious people started secretly stockpiling food at home.
……
The rental house had several floors with only a few residents, so Yan Yiping decided to take matters into his own hands and renovate the place.
Thick security doors were installed both inside and outside the house, soundproofing panels were installed inside, and the fire escape door on this floor was locked.
I bought two large freezers, which are full of ice cream and ice water, and installed solar panels on the balcony that faces the perfect direction.
The bathroom and kitchen each have three buckets about half a person's height for storing water. The storage room contains large-capacity cat litter purchased online. The empty bedroom contains bottled water, canned fruit, candy, drinks, canned meat, rice crackers, vacuum-packed dried sweet potatoes, etc.
There's no need to worry about electricity; she's prepared a generator, fuel, a solar-powered energy storage device, energy stones, and lightning-based superpowers with halved effects...
At first glance, it seems to have the feel of a survival story.

The end times came silently.
No one knows the cause of the disaster.
The official explanation has not been provided.
We only urged people to go out after dark, work from home, and store water at home after the temperature rises.
All the air-raid shelters have been opened to the public.
After receiving the notice, the villagers were urged by the officials to dig cellars for their own homes.
Once the authorities confirmed that the high temperatures would continue, they began to manage the supply of food, materials, and medicines in preparation for the impending disaster.
Yan Yiping glanced at the thermometer; the air temperature had soared to 53.5 degrees Celsius, and the ground temperature would only be higher.
There was no one or any cars on the street outside the window. I guess people won't come out until dark to avoid heatstroke, sunburn, or heat exhaustion.
After the air conditioning stopped working, more people flocked to air-raid shelters and stadiums to cool off and escape the heat.
While people went out to escape the heat, they were also praying that the temperature wouldn't rise any further.
Apart from being a summer resort, the hospital is always overcrowded, and when there are occasional power outages, generators are brought in to keep the power on.
Supermarkets sell food and water in limited quantities based on ID cards, so small shops choose to sell out quickly at high prices, close down, and go home.
Yan Yiping stayed at home watching TV, while most of the residents of the community went to the nearby stadium.
Two air conditioners were running simultaneously in the room, and next to her were several ice basins filled with ice blocks she had collected from the extreme cold of the apocalypse, as well as several bottles of soda. There were also a dozen cooling talismans pasted around the room.
The health-enhancing pills are already changing this body's constitution. Just wait a little longer, and she will be completely unaffected by the harsh weather.
……
The female protagonist, Qin Yue, possesses a special ability and, through her childhood friend's family connections, chooses to hand herself over.
It seems that the world consciousness has left humanity with a glimmer of hope.
Qin Yue's cheat system is the post-apocalyptic strategy system, and the strategy missions inside are so complex that they make one's eyes go black and one's scalp tingle.
After handing herself over, Qin Yue had to endure several social near-death experiences before she could finally suppress her embarrassment and discuss with the staff how to cleverly complete the system tasks.
Commonly known as "bug exploit".
What followed was Qin Yue's somewhat greasy conquest journey.
The targets of the strategy, who were "invited" by Guo Jia's father, included both men and women.
Gathered in the conference room, listening to the staff explain terms like "system," "strategy," "tasks," and "apocalypse," it all felt very unreal.
Fortunately, everyone here is outstanding in their respective fields, so their ability to learn is quite good.
After learning about the system's mission, his acting skills were actually better than Qin Yue's.
Not to be outdone, Qin Yue devoured short, cheesy dramas and online novels about strategy systems every night.
The results are quite pleasing; now she can charm people with just a few words.
The process of completing the mission is addictive and unforgettable, but the rewards are really tempting, including high-yield, drought-resistant grain seeds, 18 high-temperature protective suits, crafting instructions, and a universal summer tea recipe...
The number eighteen is quite significant; it represents the total number of people Qin Yue is pursuing.
These items are highly practical and were sent to the research institute immediately after the reward was received.
Summer cooling teas are now being mass-produced and available on the market.
Some of the grain seeds were also planted in the ground.

The "Female Lead's Daily Life" video was edited by the Passerby A System and became Yan Yiping's go-to show while eating. She even encouraged him to share it in the system group.
Unexpectedly, the system users all loved watching it and urged it to record more in the group chat.
As for the original owner's parents in Huliu Village, after Yan Yiping asked for travel expenses a few times, they simply stopped answering his calls.
She maliciously sent over a few pictures of herself carrying bricks, photoshopped by the system, showing her as dark-skinned and thin with sunken cheeks.
The couple were worried that she would go back to the village to get her share of the family's food rations, so they didn't reply to her messages.
It's not even enough for my own brothers and sisters, so my daughter shouldn't come back and cause trouble for the family.
If someone has the energy to call home and ask for money, they must not be at their wits' end.
After watching the system's broadcast, Yan Yiping wondered if the original owner's parents had been parasitized by some strange thing.
Unfortunately, the system scanned their brains and found nothing.
This time, the original owner didn't send supplies in advance, so Yan's parents didn't have anything to give away, nor did they complain about the original owner's behavior every day.
When the authorities were about to explicitly tell everyone to buy supplies, the Yan family's eccentric relatives bought less than in their previous life.
It seems that the words of the original owner's parents in their past life gave them psychological suggestions.
When they learned of the original owner's parents again, their home had already been ransacked by their relatives.
Relatives suspected that Yan Yiping's failure to return to the village might be due to her parents giving her money to enjoy a life of luxury outside.
Without listening to their explanation, he took all of the couple's remaining food rations.
Unfortunately, he was caught by official patrol officers as soon as he stepped out of the gate, and had no choice but to beg the original owner's parents for help.
Sure enough, the two of them, who seemed to have a screw loose, immediately said that they would not pursue the family dispute.
But it is true that several people broke into a house and robbed others of their property. Now is the time to make an example of them, so they were made to do hard labor for a week.
After they had suffered some hardships, they returned to the original owner's house and launched into a passionate attack, seemingly out of sheer rage despite the heat.
This time, the insult was directed at the original owner's parents for pretending to be generous and giving money to support their family in buying a house.
They bought a house for their child but had no extra money to stock up on supplies. Now they have nothing to eat or drink, and the promised wife has left them.
If the original owner's parents didn't contribute financially, they definitely wouldn't have bought it because they didn't have enough money.
The resentment towards this couple was intentional.
Strict fathers and mothers would nod and agree, their mouths full of apologies.
Honestly, the original owner's family and their relatives were truly awful.
Normal people would only wish they could shorten their lifespan by ten years if they encountered them.
Seeing this, the other villagers kept their distance from the family and the Yan couple.
I was afraid that I might catch the disease and become mentally unstable from the other people.
