Farm games to survive the apocalypse

Chapter 26 High Temperature World 7

In the early morning, Jiang Wei got up and took a look at the temperature. It had reached 60 degrees. He couldn't go out in this weather. Going out would result in heatstroke. He might even die of dehydration if no one rescued him in time.

In such hot weather, Jiang Wei didn't dare to leave the air-conditioned room, so she practiced the moves she learned in the martial arts school in the living room. Wang Aizhen also had nothing to do. She didn't dare to turn on the TV at home in such a high temperature for fear of short circuit and burnout. So she could only turn on the smart phone that Jiang Wei bought for her to watch short videos and news. "Weiwei, come and see, isn't this the forest on the mountain over there in the town next to us? It's on fire. Look how big the fire is."

Jiang Wei stretched his head over to take a look. The forest in the video was filled with thick smoke and heat waves. Many trees were burnt black and small animals were fleeing everywhere. There were little orange men running around. However, spontaneous combustion of forests was common in such hot weather, making rescue more difficult.

"It's really serious, and rescue will be very difficult in such hot weather," said Jiang Wei.

Then, as if she suddenly remembered something, she ran to the door to look at the woods on the mountain of Wangjia Village. Yes, the temperature was so high that the woods could easily spontaneously combust, so the mountain of Wangjia Village might also cause a forest fire. However, Jiang Wei felt very powerless because she could not do anything.

Trees have many functions. Not only can they produce oxygen through photosynthesis, but they can also prevent wind and sand, purify air quality, reduce soil erosion, and regulate the climate to lower the temperature and increase air humidity. Large-scale spontaneous combustion of trees will only lead to accelerated global warming and intensified high temperatures. Although Jiang Wei has only experienced two copies, each copy made her realize how powerless humans are in the face of nature.

Wang Aizhen understood what Jiang Wei was doing. "Yes, there are fires everywhere in our forests. It's terrible. The authorities also told people to reduce lighting fires and smoking in the forests, but I think it's hard to prevent it in such high temperatures."

Normally, trees are prone to spontaneous combustion at temperatures of 3 to 40 degrees Celsius, and trees are even more likely to catch fire at temperatures of 60 degrees Celsius.

Jiang Wei turned around and said to Wang Aizhen, "There's nothing we can do about it. Grandma, we can only pray for better luck."

At 7 o'clock in the evening, the sun set and the villagers came out one after another. Since the temperature rose to 50 degrees, the authorities have begun to call for people to avoid sunburn when traveling and working at night. The temperature usually drops back to more than 40 degrees at night, so the night life is very rich now. Jiang Wei also took Wang Aizhen out for a walk. After all, it is quite boring to stay at home all day.

A group of villagers were sitting under the big banyan tree at the entrance of the village. Some were bragging and chatting, some were bringing a table out to play cards in groups of three or five, and some were children playing with each other. Jiang Wei looked at the starry sky above his head and felt that this moment was quite beautiful.

But in the woods not far away, faint sparks of fire began to flash, gradually growing bigger and bigger.

A villager went to his field to fetch water to irrigate the crops. The temperature had been rising recently and the crops were almost being sun-dried to death. He felt distressed so he thought of going to the river to fetch some water for the fields. However, when he got to the river, he saw billowing black smoke rising from the mountains in the distance.

He quickly took out his cell phone and called the village chief, "Village chief, it's bad, there's a fire on the mountain, it's a big fire, and it's full of black smoke."

"What? There's a fire! Okay, I got it. Go and ask people to bring supplies to the mountain to put out the fire." After the village chief said that, he quickly hung up the phone and called the fire department. He then ran to the village broadcasting room and used a loudspeaker to shout to the villagers to bring buckets and basins from their homes to put out the fire.

"Attention, fellow villagers, there is a fire in the woods on the hill near Wangjia Village. Everyone, hurry up and get buckets and basins to help put out the fire."

The villagers under the big banyan tree also heard the noise and hurriedly looked towards the direction of the forest.

"Oh no, there's a real fire, it's really big."

"That's right, hurry up, go home and get some water."

"Grandma, let me take you home first, and then I'll go check out the situation." Jiang Wei heard the voice, stood up and said to Wang Aizhen.

"Okay, go ahead. You don't have to send me back. Go get my things first and be careful." Wang Aizhen said.

Because everyone could go out at night, the villagers united to put out the fire in the forest. There was a pond not far from the forest. When we got to the foot of the mountain, we found that there were already many people gathered there. Some were digging isolation belts, and some were scooping water with basins or buckets and passing them up the mountain. At this time, we could also see the black smoke above the forest and the blazing flames that illuminated the surroundings.

Since the village is still some distance away from the county town, the fire brigade is still on the way and it will take some time for them to arrive. But no one can care less now, and the villagers all spontaneously stepped forward to put out the fire.

Jiang Wei was assigned to pass water and tools from below, and everyone took turns to pass the water upwards, which was of great help, but the fire was still big, and the villagers could only continue to work hard.

Suddenly, Jiang Wei saw several orange-yellow vehicles coming down the mountain in the distance. Since her long-term training and improvement of attribute points, she can see things farther away clearly, which is better than her vision of 5.0 before she was nearsighted.

When the vehicle approached, it turned out to be the familiar firefighters, and the villagers became excited.

"It's the firefighters. The firefighters are here to help us."

"Yeah, yeah, that's great."

The village chief also hurried forward to explain the situation to the firefighters, "Comrades, the fire was discovered at six o'clock in the evening, and then I called on the villagers to come out and put out the fire. Some of the fire was extinguished, but the fire is still big, so I need your help."

The other party nodded and said, "Okay, Village Chief, we understand the situation. Give us some tools and we will help dig the isolation belt first."

"Okay, okay." The village chief nodded, and then asked the villagers to hand the tools to these comrades.

With the participation of the firefighters, everyone was in high spirits and worked together to face the fire. The flames illuminated the determined faces. Then, more than ten minutes later, the firefighters also joined the fire-fighting team. However, the fire was very big due to the high temperature. But with everyone's joint efforts for a long time, the forest fire was finally extinguished.

After the last spark was put out, the whole audience cheered, "Great! The fire is finally out!"

"Yes, yes, thanks to these comrades."

"That's right." The villagers turned to thank their comrades.

"Thank you, firefighters. If it weren't for you, much more of the forest would have been burned," said the village chief.

"It's okay, village chief. The recent high temperature has made it easy for wildfires to break out in many places. Fortunately, it's night today and we have the help of villagers, otherwise our firefighting operations would be more difficult." said the firefighter.

After the village chief led the villagers to see the firefighters off, it was already 4 o'clock in the morning. The sun would come out again in two hours, so everyone went back to rest.
