Farm games to survive the apocalypse

Chapter 27 High Temperature World 8

On the 16th day of the high temperature world, the wildfire caused waves of worry among the villagers. A series of chain reactions caused by the high temperature began to occur. The water level of the river began to drop, and the crops in the fields were seriously reduced. People who had not taken it seriously before began to run to the streets to stock up on food, but at this time they found that the price of food was rising, and many people in the town also began to buy supplies.

High temperature alerts have been issued across the country to remind people to take precautions against high temperatures and stay safe. Measures have also been enacted to prevent the sale of supplies at high prices.

"According to the latest news, according to the city's policy, all citizens should not go out during the day to avoid being injured by the high temperature, and should work and go to school at night. We call for water conservation. The city's water supply is limited to two hours a day. Please make a good reserve of water. If you have insulation cloth at home, please protect the air conditioner outdoor unit. Circuit damage has occurred in many places recently. Please understand each other. If you find that basic supplies are sold at high prices, please call xxx to report it. The authorities will deal with it seriously. ... Finally, please don't worry, we will tide over the difficulties with you."

Jiang Wei opened the farm game right after listening to the broadcast. It was a relatively quiet time, so Jiang Wei moved out some items that were not easily perishable, cleared out the farm land, planted a series of things, and the ranch also met the breeding requirements. The farm was successfully upgraded to level six.

After reaching level six, the land suddenly increased to 30 pieces, and a mountain and forest area was added. The ranch unlocked a new animal, the duck, and the new crops were apple trees and corn. The most important farm space reached 60 cubic meters, the well mouth doubled, and the water level did not drop. Currently, all her plants include wheat, soybeans, potatoes, cabbage, sweet potatoes, tomatoes, etc.

The upgrade condition for the next level is to continue harvesting crops and raising small animals. Jiang Wei is very satisfied. After all, the farm is getting better and better, the species are getting richer and richer, and her future is more secure. The expansion of the warehouse space means that she can fill it with more items.

But this is the only good news recently. Bad news has come one after another. The most obvious one is that the temperature has reached 75 degrees. In such hot weather, you can use tap water to take a shower directly, but you still have to be careful not to get burned. It is difficult for humans to survive outdoors. The temperature has also caused large-scale power outages, and the difficulty of emergency repairs has increased. The network has also begun to collapse. Jiang Wei's mobile phone often cannot transmit messages, and he can only get some news by reading forums.

[The government buildings here have been sprayed with paint, saying the government is not doing anything, and they are urging the authorities to repair the circuits.]

[Ours is almost the same, but it’s not that easy. In this awful weather we can only fix it at night, but it breaks again after we fix it. It’s totally useless.]

[We have a group of people go to the gymnasium or other places to enjoy the air conditioning during the day to escape the heat, so that the government can use generators to generate electricity.]

[We also have this kind of operation here, but it feels very inconvenient to be with people, especially since our players have already stockpiled items. If we go there, we can only sleep and chat, and it is inconvenient to do anything else.]

[Oh, this damn weather is so hot that it's killing me. If it gets this hot, I feel like we'll have to move everyone to air-raid shelters, summer resorts, and other places.]

[The summer vacation here hasn’t been that serious, but the rush for supplies is really fierce, especially water. Our community has started to set up time periods for water use. Everyone must be anxious.]

[Yes, I think the water by the river is almost dry.]

The villagers of Wangjia Village stockpiled certain supplies because of Jiang Wei's indirect notification. Although they were worried, they still lived a peaceful life. However, the situation in the surrounding areas was different.

Especially under the influence of the high temperature weather, water resources are extremely scarce, and the remaining food is also being eaten up. Jiang Wei had a premonition that chaos would soon break out.

In the evening, Jiang Wei ran to the banyan tree again to listen to the old men and women spreading news. Apart from anything else, this group of old men and women knew news from very wide channels.

"Oh my god, it's so hot that it's going to kill people." An old lady said, holding a palm-leaf fan.

"Who said it wasn't? You don't know, my daughter is in the city, and a bottle of mineral water that usually costs one yuan is now sold for five yuan." Another aunt also echoed.

"What? It's so expensive. We can't report it."

"Why report it? It's not an outrageous price. Besides, everyone knows how important water is right now."

"Yes, this year my family lost all their food due to lack of water. We didn't harvest much."

"Be content. You know, we still have drinking water here. Thanks to the village chief who told us some time ago, we have stockpiled a lot of water. The supply in the city is limited. I wanted to send water to my daughter, but she said no. I tell you, my daughter loves me..." As she spoke, the aunt who loved to show off her daughter continued to talk about her daughter.

Before Jiang Wei finished listening, the only piece of news he got was that the water price was still rising very fast even under official regulation. Water is the source of life. People can go without food for three days but cannot go without water.

Jiang Wei went to the river again with a flashlight to check. The water level of the river was now only half of what it was when she just came back. If it continued like this, the river would soon dry up.

Jiang Wei could only sigh, and then returned home and saw Wang Aizhen taking out the steamed buns that she had made and put in the refrigerator. The steamed buns didn't need to be heated up, and they would return to room temperature after being left outside for a while. Jiang Wei took out a plate of cold dishes, and the two of them ate it. Jiang Wei originally thought that this would be the end of the night, but he didn't expect the change to come so quickly.

The Water and Electricity Bureau sent people to negotiate with the villagers. "To be honest, I am not afraid to tell you what the situation is in the city now. Basically, the ponds and rivers in the city are almost dry. The residents use water at a fixed time and quantity every day. So after discussion, we decided that the countryside generally has trees, the temperature is lower than in the city, and the water source does not dry up so quickly. We plan to transport the water in the village to the city to relieve the pressure."

"Well, I won't hide it from you. In fact, this water source is not exclusive to us. It belongs to the country. But our village really needs this water. Although we have no food in the fields, we still have vegetable gardens and so on. The daily water consumption is also quite large." The village chief said after hesitating.

"We know this, but there is a shortage of water and food in the city right now, so we can't do anything about it. But don't worry, we will only transport a part of it, and not just to your village. We will also explain to the other villages near the river."

"Okay then," the village chief nodded helplessly.
