Farm games to survive the apocalypse

Chapter 28 High Temperature World 9

After the people from the Water and Power Bureau left, the village chief gathered the villagers and informed them of the news. "Everyone should use water more economically in the future. Today, the people from the Water and Power Bureau came to tell us that the water in the city is almost out of water. We need to send some of the water from our rivers and ponds to the city."

"What? The water is almost dry, and we have to send it to the city."

"Yes, yes. Originally, the land in our vegetable garden relied on that little water to barely survive. Now that we have lost that little bit of water, we can only pick the vegetables quickly."

"It's impossible not to send it. The country should still have a lot of resource reserves."

"You are wrong. This water is not from our village. If the country wants to use it, of course we have to give it away."

Jiang Wei also felt helpless, but this was also the normal operating logic of this copy, and the villagers had to agree no matter how reluctant they were.

In the following days, the Water and Electricity Bureau sent people to fetch water every night, and the villagers also carried water back to their homes. After all, the water pipes at home could not flow much water, and everyone wanted water. Jiang Wei did not participate in these actions, but she and Wang Aizhen also saved water. Wang Aizhen had already harvested the vegetables in the vegetable garden and did not water them anymore. Even if she did, it was some water that had already been used and could not be used again.

For example, the water used for washing face and bathing must be used to wash clothes again before being thrown away, and the frequency of washing hair and face has been reduced, even though the weather is so hot that one would like to wash every day.

But Jiang Wei also found a solution, which is to go out less and stay at home with the air conditioner on all the time. But at night, he would turn off the air conditioner to adapt to the high temperature, or at worst, he would turn on the fan.

It's so hot today and I don't want to cook. It's too hot to stay by the stove, so Jiang Wei just cooks a lot and then eats the leftovers or eats them directly. What Jiang Wei plans to make today is cold pot skewers. After the skewers are cooked, put in the prepared seasonings, which tastes especially satisfying. Jiang Wei skewered kelp, enoki mushrooms, potato chips, quail eggs, gluten, meatballs, dumplings, etc. with skewers, dipped them in the prepared chili sauce, and served with cooled mung bean porridge for today's dinner.

In the next few days, Jiang Wei lived a leisurely life, exercising from time to time, studying food and making delicious food, and watching TV series and movies that he had cached before. He lived a very comfortable life.

On the 25th day of the high temperature world, the river had completely dried up. Now all that could be seen was the cracked earth underground. There was cracked earth everywhere and no trace of green in the farmlands. The birds in the sky could not find any water and could only wail in pain. The big dog in the village, with its hair shaved, drooped its eyebrows listlessly and breathed heavily.

"What should I do? There is no water in the river. There was some water yesterday, but today there is nothing left."

"Yeah, what can we do about this?"

The staff of the Water and Power Bureau also frowned when they saw this situation, then turned their heads to talk to each other, and then hurried away. The river water was not transported away tonight, but no one was happy.

At around 3 a.m., a group of people returned to the village. They were villagers who were working or studying outside the village.

Zhao Mei followed her fellow villagers in panic and drove back to Wangjia Village. When she saw a group of people, she and others stumbled down in a panic, "Water, give us some water."

The villagers who had not left were shocked when they saw their appearance, "Hey, isn't this Mei Zi? Go and call Gui Hua and the others, her daughter is back."

"Oh, isn't this Rongze? Why did you come back suddenly?"

"Hurry, we have water here, drink it quickly, but drink slowly, don't be too impatient."

After someone around handed some water to Zhao Mei and the others to drink, they began to ask them why they came back in such a mess.

After taking a few sips of water, Zhao Mei said, "Ahem, the city is in chaos now, everything is expensive, and it's often hard to get water. The water supply has also been cut off. We rushed back as fast as we could."

Zhao Mei and her colleagues work in the neighboring city, but the drought and high temperature in the neighboring city have caused water sources to dry up faster. They are a group of outsiders living in the city, and at first they did not listen to the villagers and stockpile food and water. When they wanted to stockpile later, there were not many things they could buy. Seeing that the situation was getting worse and worse, they hurried back, and fortunately they made it in time.

"How can the situation be so bad? Will our city be doomed soon?" a villager said in panic.

"Yes, if the river in our village has dried up, there must be a water shortage in the city as well."

"When we came back, we just passed by the city, but it was almost impossible to buy water in the county town and small towns, and some businesses were unwilling to open," said Zhao Mei.

"Oh, what's the big deal? This damn weather is really annoying."

"Yeah, it's a sin."

"Meizi, Meizi, are you okay?" At this time, Zhao Mei's mother ran over and hugged her and said with concern.

"Mom, I'm fine, just a little tired." Zhao Mei said with a smile.

"Alas, child, you should have come back earlier, so that your father and I wouldn't have to worry so much. Fellow villagers, I think Mei Zi has nothing to say. I will take her back first, and you can ask her if you have any questions later." Zhao Mei left with her mother, and the rest of the people were also taken back by their relatives, and everyone had to disperse and return home.

Jiang Wei returned home to check the forum messages.

[It’s over. The city has no water. Now the indigenous people are very emotional. At night, some people asked me to borrow some water. I didn’t even dare to open the door.]

[Yes, there is almost no water in my village. I can only live on my own.]

[This method won’t last long. So many people need to drink water. I can only hope that all players can protect themselves.]

[I want to find someone to team up with. I feel it's dangerous to be alone. Please help me team up!]

It seems that the city, like the countryside, has started to suffer from large-scale water outages. The only source of water for ordinary people is various mineral waters, beverages, etc., but merchants initially chose to sell water in order to make money, and now they are unwilling to sell it because of the water shortage. Without water, a food crisis will soon occur. If this continues, a group of robbers like the previous copy will appear sooner or later.

The villagers in the village are all big fat sheep. After all, rural areas generally have stored grain and their own wells. There will definitely be people with bad intentions eyeing this place. We have to find a way to form a patrol team in the village so that they have the ability to resist.

Over the next two days, some villagers returned to the village one after another.

The Water Conservancy Bureau did not come again. Just when everyone thought that the people from the Water Conservancy Bureau would not come again after they left, something unexpected happened two or three days later.
