Will the world become apocalyptic? But I am a shark

Chapter 209 The high temperature is coming

Now that Zhao Xu has obtained 300,000 potions from Qu Glaze and returned to the capital, not to mention crushing some people's ideas, at least it can also reduce a lot of pressure on the leaders who support him, not to mention How many people and families can be saved?

Zhao Xu's psychological burden was visibly reduced a lot. In order to stabilize the situation at the capital base as soon as possible, he didn't even have time to stay longer and rushed to the capital base that day.

Of course, the potions were not given for free. In addition to some supplies that were very popular in the last transaction, such as weapons and daily necessities, Zhao Xu also brought a lot of supplies to prevent and reduce heatstroke, which was considered thoughtful.

However, because the quantity of medicines this time was relatively large, the materials Zhao Xu brought were not worth the value of the medicines. He left some people here to take care of them. When he returned to the capital, he had to arrange for people to transport the materials he owed.

Most of what Qu Chai wants from this batch of supplies are things that can be used to withstand high heat, such as medicine and basic drinking water.

High temperatures can cause heat stroke and lack of water. These two aspects require the most attention. Of course, basic food is also important. Although Qu Glaze has made an announcement in advance, not everyone trusts the base very much. Secondly, some survivors have limited abilities and low material hoarding ability. When the high fever comes, they will definitely need relief from the base.

So Qu Glaze chose these two aspects of materials.

Of course Zhao Xu would not refuse. After all, the capital base is more complete in terms of management, and there are naturally many experts in disaster prediction and other aspects. They have already raised the possibility of high temperatures during the previous cooling. With the capabilities of the capital base, the inventory The supplies for heat and cold protection are definitely sufficient, and there is no pressure to allocate some of them to the base in City C.

On Qu Gla's side, although she has a lot of supplies herself, it does not mean that she will give them to the base for free. Of course, she has also taken out most of the related supplies she has on hand, leaving only enough supplies necessary for her family's daily life. quantity.

After realizing the role of planting space, she also planted mint and honeysuckle, Chinese medicinal materials that relieve summer heat, in the space this time. She wonders if the improvement of medicinal materials will bring surprises to her.

A few days after Zhao Xu left, the base ushered in another biological wave, but as Fu Yu said, the survivors of the base were fully prepared, and even in order to hoard more supplies, this time the biological wave, The most active ones were the survivors. Only less than one-third of the base's manpower was deployed, and the biological tide was over.

The last cooling only lasted a few days, but this time the temperature rise has been maintained at a rate of 5 degrees per day for more than a week. The temperature in these two days has been close to the summer temperature before the flood, which was almost 30 degrees.

Qu Glaze turned off the temperature control function of the base after the temperature reached above zero, so the survivors of the base could truly feel the increasingly hot weather. Just because they had experienced it personally, those who were stubborn at first and did not believe the announcements from the base Many people also softened their feet and joined the team of hoarding and collecting supplies.

"Brother, the temperature has risen so strangely. Last week I was wearing a thick cotton-padded jacket, and now I'm shirtless." A man in his thirties complained as he wiped the sweat from his face.

"Who says it's not the case? Fortunately, I bought the base's heat-proof material package from the beginning. Now, this stuff is scarce and difficult to buy. I told you to buy it quickly, but you don't believe me. Now you can only buy it from those second-rate dealers at a high price. Keep it in your hand, you will regret it!" The man next to him didn't look very good.

"Hey, brother, it's not like you don't know that the mother-in-law in our house is very strict. I told her at that time, but she didn't believe it!" The man said with a stern look on his face.

"Oh, your mother-in-law can't help it. There are so many mouths in the house to eat, so it's normal to control them strictly."

"Who says it's not? Fortunately, this material package base is still for sale. My mother-in-law queues up there every day and waits there with her family's quota. She can always wait."

The heatstroke protection material package was originally a talisman that Qu Glaze wanted to give to the survivors of the base. Naturally, some people will not be given the opportunity to hoard. All purchases must use the base identity certificate, one person at a time, one share for each person. After using his share, he is not allowed to use it again. Bought.

Of course, those who had a keen sense of smell or were lucky enough to stock up on supplies and related things have made a lot of money this time.

A supply package at the base contains two 5-liter barrels of water, two boxes of heat-reducing medicine, two boxes of 20-piece antipyretic patches, and an insulation blanket.

The price is 20 points of energy.

Those second-rate dealers mostly only have one or two items, especially medicines, which are almost invisible on the market. The most common ones are water and antipyretic patches, and there are also few insulation blankets. The price of these items is 100 energy points.

It was also because of the appearance of these second-rate dealers that the survivors realized how conscientious the base's pricing was. They had no choice but to rarely buy the castrated version of the supply package.

Of course, this trend was soon defeated by the gradually rising temperatures.

Seeing that the temperature is getting higher and higher, those profiteers are charging one price a day. A barrel of 5 liters of water originally cost 30 points of energy, but now it has reached 75 points. Some people even change their minds and increase the price from time to time, relying on the fact that it is a seller's market. Survivors In order to stock up on supplies as quickly as possible, they could only knock out their teeth and swallow their blood. Who made me stupid in the first place and didn't trust the base?

It's just that there's no point regretting it now. The base won't sell you an extra supply package just because you're pitiful.

The temperature is rising day by day, and soon it has risen to above 55 degrees. Now you can hardly see anyone walking outside during the day. Only at night will someone take the risk to search for supplies outside the base.

Of course, this is also a minority, and most of them are those who did not listen to the base announcement before, resulting in missing the best opportunity to search for supplies.

The ocean at night is dangerous, and even for those who have the ability, the risk of going out to search for supplies is not low, so except for those who really have no choice, most people have adopted a life of hiding at home.

"The whole world is underwater now. We have no reference and we don't know the changes in water levels. If we could know, we might be able to predict temperature changes more quickly." An expert with gray hair frowned.

Starting from the day before yesterday, the temperature no longer changes in a range of 5 degrees every day. It is sometimes high and sometimes low. The day before yesterday it only rose by 3 degrees, yesterday it was 6 degrees, and today it actually rose by 8 degrees.

"Do you think the temperature is going to come down?" Qu Glaze's face was not very good. If the temperature continues to rise, it will be a matter of time before the base suffers mass casualties.
