After not seeing Aoao for just one day, Aoao became very clingy. He rubbed his head against the back of Gu Tongwan's hand and almost knocked Gu Tongwan over because of his enthusiasm.

Fortunately, Tutu couldn't bear it anymore and barked at Aoao fiercely twice. Then Aoao quickly crawled at Gu Tongwan's feet.

"Okay, Aoao has worked hard to look after the house." He touched Aoao's head as a reward, and Aoao's tail began to spin like a propeller.

Leaving the two dogs playing in the yard, Gu Tongwan opened the door and went straight up to the second floor. However, the temperature inside was much more horrible than outside, and a gust of stuffy air blew towards him.

Gu Tongwan then remembered that he seemed to have closed all the doors and windows tightly before going out, which caused the air inside to become extremely hot after the house was exposed to the sun for a day.

So I quickly opened the doors and windows to ventilate the air, and it was not until around seven o'clock in the evening that the stuffiness in the house was slightly relieved.

On the afternoon of the day when martial law was lifted, only some low-level psychics dared to step out of their homes. When they went out, these psychics still asked their families to lock the door. After all, they themselves were not sure whether the end of martial law meant real safety, and they could not risk the safety of their families.

Even when they walked onto the block, they were still shocked by what they saw. There were black nematodes still wriggling all over the ground. They were the culprits lurking in the thick fog.

The nematodes on the ground, which are only hanging on to their last breath and can only wriggle slightly, are gradually losing their vitality. Even if they are not treated, they will gradually die out in a short time.

However, the smell of disinfectant mixed with nematodes is indeed very pungent, and many people can only cover their mouths and noses to walk through this smell.

There were no signs of nematode invasion in Gu Tongwan's small yard. It seemed that Aoao and the blood vines he had released in advance had already built a strong mental wall around the yard to a large extent.

The first thing Gu Tongwan did when he returned to the house was to use the generator. After installing the air conditioner in the bedroom, he took a glance at the current indoor temperature, which was 33 degrees. He then immediately turned on the air conditioner to high wind and 20 degrees low temperature to quickly cool down the stuffy room.

I went downstairs again to the living room. The living room is not suitable for installing a large air conditioner. When I move into the new house, seeing the brand new vertical air conditioner will be a bit too ostentatious. Even if it is someone I trust, I still have to be cautious in some aspects.

I'll go to the flea market tomorrow to see if there are any second-hand air conditioners for sale. If there are, I can buy one and temporarily put it on the first floor.

However, she may not actually use the first floor very often. Most of the time, she prefers to stay in her own room and small living room on the second floor. The first floor is only used to entertain friends.

The decoration on the first floor is simple but also cozy. In fact, it is still far inferior to some of the high-end decorations in the villa area. After all, powerful people always use the best things, even in the end times.

Gu Tongwan returned home, took a quick shower, and then sat on the lazy sofa in the second-floor living room with a tablet in his arms, reading forum posts. The two dogs were chasing and playing in the yard. There were actually no lights in the yard, but the two dogs could still see everything clearly within at least a hundred meters around them in the dark, so they could still have fun even in the dark.

Around nine o'clock in the evening, the Internet in the outer circle gradually recovered, and some people hurried to post messages on the forum.

Most of the content on the forum posts revolves around nematodes, and some people complain about when the base will be able to resume normal electricity use. After all, power outages late at night are really unbearable, especially now that the temperature is getting hotter and hotter. At least people have to use electric fans to warm up at night.

However, some people expressed their understanding of the base's approach. After all, when the weather was extremely hot, many places were in trouble because the power supply stations could not bear the power consumption of most people. Coupled with the rising temperature, some high-voltage cables were burned, and the probability of forest fires and urban open fires increased by dozens of times.

At present, the base has stated that the latest model of battery-powered electric fans is in the final debugging stage. The first batch of 500 fans will be sold in the inner and outer circle supply and marketing cooperatives and major stores the day after tomorrow. Currently, 200 units have been sold in the inner circle and 300 units have been sold in the outer circle.

Even so, everyone knows very well that the current population of the base has risen to 500,000, and these hundreds of electric fans cannot meet the basic supply and demand. Even if they are mass-produced, if the price is high, most people will still not be able to buy them.

[I estimate the price to be no less than 1,000 yuan. It's a battery, and I don't know how many volts it has.]

[Looking at the instructions, it seems that charging for six hours can last for eight to twelve hours? But I guess battery products are exaggerated, and the maximum is no more than eight hours. ]

[It would be nice if it could last for eight hours, but wouldn't it break easily? I feel like the quality of battery products is not very good.]

[Quality issues aside, can we get one? Even if it's sold for 2,000, there will be plenty of people rushing to buy it. We can still sleep at night, but if it continues to get hotter, it will be like that time, with temperatures above 40 degrees at night, and the water on our bodies will almost evaporate.]

[It should be better this time. After all, we have experienced extreme heat before. The base should have experience. Isn't it said that the battery-powered electric fan this time is resistant to high temperatures and not easy to break? Moreover, the power supply station has been equipped with many superpowers before. It has been such a long time and there have been no problems. I think what someone above said is right. The main thing is whether we can get the goods. There are only 300 units in the outer circle. It may be difficult.]

[If you ask me, the other 200 units should not be allocated to the inner circle. Don’t those rich people have generators at home? Why use electric fans when they can just use the generators to generate electricity?]

[Hey, the guy above, what's wrong with the inner circle? Doesn't the inner circle allow ordinary workers? Don't think that all people living in the inner circle are rich and powerful. There are also office workers who work from 9 to 5. Now people are looking at this with a hatred of the rich mentality. ]

[A nine-to-five office worker? Haha, do you know that the outer circles are all refugees who are starving? ]

[Can you two stop arguing for a while? We don't have the final say on this allocation issue. The top management of the base has their own arrangements. The top management of the base can't see you guys fighting with each other. You should think about how to prevent it if the second extreme heat really comes.]

[What I am concerned about is that the entire base has started to limit electricity, so will there be water restrictions? I am already sweating in the hot weather, and if there is also a water restriction, I really can't stand it. ]

[Isn’t it said that the water we are using now is from underground water sources several dozen kilometers below? Previously, the base said that there would be no water problem in the next 30 years.]

[That is the official statement of the base, but who knows the actual situation? I am skeptical about this statement anyway.]

[I am a water engineer and currently work for the government. I can guarantee that the water source underground can indeed be used by at least two million people in the next few decades. Of course, the premise is that there will be no more violent plate movement or flooding.]

[Although I don't want to attract hatred at this time, I still want to say that my husband is a water-type mutant. Although he is only the lowest F level, he can still fill two large buckets of water every day, so the water for a family of five is barely enough. Of course, the premise is that the base is really out of water...]

[Me too, I am a D-level water-based esper, I can produce about 100L of water every day, so my own water needs are basically not a problem.]

[You're all showing off, right? Hahaha. Then I'm not afraid of being beaten. I'm a D-level ice-type psychic. At least I can make a lot of water from melted ice every day. But the miserable thing is that my girlfriend's family has been treating me like an automatic cooling machine recently. Every night before going to bed, they insist that I freeze the entire room to 25 degrees before I can sleep. If I wake up from the heat, they have to shake me awake. Ahhhh, I really can't stand it. Don't they know that I'm also afraid of heat? If I use so many psychics every day, I can't maintain my own body temperature. I'm currently considering breaking up.]

[If the little brother above breaks up, I don’t mind being your girlfriend. ]

[Oh, water and ice type psychics are popular these days. This is obviously to attract hatred, right? Boy, tell me your address quickly. I'll be your boyfriend!]

Gu Tongwan scrolled down to see other posts and saw some similar ones about how people were making money with their special powers. For example, some people with ice special powers offered a one-night cooling service, charging anywhere from 166 to 366 per session.

Some hunter guilds also took the opportunity to launch refrigeration services, using their supernatural powers to provide door-to-door cooling. They also developed some dry ice or ice pack products using supernatural powers, and the price generally ranges from 30 to 100 points.

It has to be said that there are always people who seize the opportunity to make money at any time.

Gu Tongwan suddenly thought of Chen Yanxi. He seemed to be a dual-system psychic and used cold cream. She wondered if he would feel cold when she hugged him when they slept at night.

When she had this thought in her mind, the phone suddenly rang. She answered it subconsciously, and a low but deliberately soft voice came from the other end.

"It's me, I'm back."

"Oh, congratulations on completing your mission." Gu Tongwan was still a little absent-minded, or maybe he felt guilty. After all, he had just thought of the other party and didn't expect the other party to call him.

Perhaps he could sense the uncertainty in her tone, so Chen Yanxi walked to the balcony and asked softly, "What are you thinking about?"

"Hmm, I was wondering if you're also cold when I hug you."

The person on the other end of the phone did not take over the conversation, but suddenly fell silent.

At this time, Gu Tongwan realized what he had just said, so he frowned and looked annoyed.

After waiting for a while, a cold and quiet voice came from the other end, "Then you can try it yourself."
