Things seemed to be a little beyond his imagination!
“Hmm…” Coco fell to the ground due to the heat, and lay down on the ground, sticking out her tongue.
The group of Silver Kings and Mimi were so hot that they didn't want to move at all.
Only the egg seemed to be unaffected and continued to roll.
Also, it seems more energetic
"No, no, it's too hot!" Li Wenxi lifted up his collar and fanned himself a few times, then stood up, "I'm going to cool down!"
She ran to the kitchen to get a basin of water, brought it to the living room, and threw a piece of blue saltpeter into it.
"Hiss..."
The sound of saltpeter reacting with water was heard, and then a cold breath immediately spread throughout the room.
"Hmm! Much more comfortable!" She squatted in front of the basin for a while, enjoying the pleasure of the "air conditioner" blowing on her face, then she stood up and sat back on the sofa. "It's really unbearable to suddenly change back to this temperature!"
At this time, Xu Xin was already checking various channels with a frown on his face.
In the world channel, this situation is happening in various regions.
"Wow, the temperature is rising so fast!"
"Hahahaha, the snow outside is melting like crazy! Good days are coming!"
"I never want to see snow again!"
"But isn't the temperature rising too quickly?"
"It's the same as before, the temperature is not dropping fast."
"It's just that the jungle has returned to its original temperature. Look, the trees outside are sprouting! It's so full of life. I feel much better!"
“I am so happy when I see the snow melting!”
They are all survivors from areas that have just experienced severe cold weather, and they are now in the snow melting stage.
As the saying goes, it's not cold when it snows, but when it melts. Melting snow absorbs heat, and the heat absorbed by the melting snow keeps the temperature around them at a relatively normal level, so not many people seem to notice anything unusual.
But it’s different in the alliance channel.
Because the snow in Area 1 and Area 188 has completely melted, the temperature in these two areas is rising much faster than those areas where the snow is still melting.
"Isn't it a bit too hot?"
"With this temperature, I feel like I'm back in the center of the Earth during summer!"
"It's almost forty degrees!"
"What the hell? It's not even seven in the morning yet? The sun has only just risen for a short while!"
"Oh my god, I can't imagine what the temperature will be like at noon..."
"Damn, is this true? We just experienced a cold winter and now we are going to have a hot summer!"
"Ah?! Then I'd rather have a cold winter! In the cold winter, I can use the furnace to keep warm and wear more clothes. But what about the hot summer? There's no air conditioning in this world!"
"I can't imagine a world without air conditioning and it's still hot... Kill me..."
"What are you afraid of? There was no air conditioning in ancient times, but people lived well, didn't they?"
"? Alive and well? Do you know how many people died in a heat wave in ancient times?"
"Don't panic. I have already joined the explorer boss. I don't think there will be any major problems. I feel very stable."
"Damn it, Xiu Youyou will die soon!"
"Explorer elders, please treat us in District 1 equally!"
"Our District 1 boss won't stand idly by!"
Xu Xin sighed.
The scorching heat is really coming, I’m afraid.
But this happened a little too quickly.
The cold winter has just ended!
Can't we let them rest a day later
Of course, he didn't care too much about the scorching heat.
At this moment, he suddenly realized what the rewards for the snow mountain climbing activity were.
This will allow them to better get through the next stage and this hot summer!
"You can stay at my place for the time being. Also, your men should not go out to mine." Xu Xin said to Li Wenxi who came over, "It's too hot. I'm afraid they can't go out."
"Ah? What happened?" Li Wenxi still didn't understand. Perhaps he was misled by Xu Xin's words "return to normal temperature". "It doesn't matter. I used to mine in this temperature. Some mines are much cooler than outside."
Um…
"Today's temperature should be much lower than this." Xu Xin said, glancing out the window.
The temperature rises quickly.
The sun was scorching, shining directly into the jungle that had not yet recovered, and onto the lake and the pool dug outside his tree house. The rising water vapor made the surrounding air begin to become a little distorted.
It looks so hot!
"...Yes!" Li Wenxi also reacted and exclaimed, "It's only seven in the morning! It's so hot so early in the morning, so at noon..."
Xu Xin rubbed his eyebrows.
It's a bit difficult.
Under normal circumstances, it is normal for the temperature difference between morning and noon to exceed ten degrees, and sometimes it can even be close to twenty degrees. It is not uncommon for the temperature to span three seasons in one day.
The current temperature is already around 40 degrees. Even if the temperature does not rise abnormally anymore, it may exceed 50 degrees by the afternoon!
Fifty degrees, this is simply not a temperature that humans can survive normally!
Not to mention, the temperature may continue to rise abnormally!
Does this world want to freeze some people to death, and then heat some people to death
… At least we have to ensure that the people in Area 188 don’t die from the heat!
"How much saltpeter ore do you have left?" Xu Xin turned and asked Li Wenxi, who was frowning.
"… There's not much left. A few days ago, I used up almost all of my saltpeter to make explosives because I was afraid of the beast tide coming. I haven't had time to replenish it yet." Li Wenxi was obviously thinking about this issue. "If the remaining is to be used to help District 188 resist the heat, I'm afraid it won't be enough... I didn't expect this to happen..."
She said with a little shame.
"Who could have thought that such a problem would arise." Xu Xin shook his head.
If it were him, he would not have left some of the raw materials for explosives for use in making ice in the severe cold of dozens of degrees below zero.
There was ice everywhere outside at that time. Who could have thought that we would use saltpeter to make ice just a few days later!
At this time, Xu Xin received a prompt in his ears.
The tree house was successfully upgraded and gained the ability: constant temperature.
Very good, now that he has the ability to maintain a constant temperature, at least there will be no problem inside his tree house.
At this time, Li Wenxi could not help but stand up and said, "No, I have to take them to the saltpeter mine to replenish some saltpeter! The temperature is not that high now, it will be too late if we are late!"
"Wait a moment." Xu Xin pulled her back to sit, "I'll go with you later."
He divided the group of explorers, and everyone was awakened by the heat and was discussing this matter.
Zhao Xiaochuan: "After the severe cold comes the scorching heat! Is this world crazy?"
Wen Guixin: "Fortunately, we have this constant temperature reward, so it shouldn't be a big problem. Let others come to my tree house to escape the heat."
Qi Xuefei: "… If the temperature is too high, medicinal herbs will not grow. In the future, my supply of medicinal herbs may have to stop."
Li Wenxi: "Don't worry, Sister Xuefei, I'm planning to take people to the area to dig for saltpeter right away. Then we can use saltpeter to make ice to cool down!"
Wang Lei: "Yes! Sister Wen Xi can mine saltpeter! That will make things much easier! I was still thinking about what to do with the others, and saltpeter shouldn't be a problem."
Ji Chaoyang: "If it's saltpeter, each person may not need much. After all, saltpeter can be reused. You just need to dissolve it in the tree house, then put it outside the tree house to dry, and then reuse it back and forth."
Wen Guixin: "It's a manual air conditioner, a manual air conditioner outdoor unit."
"Ah, Ji Chaoyang is right." Li Wenxi beside him clapped his hands immediately, "I'm so used to making explosives that I almost thought saltpeter was a consumable! This way it's much easier!"
"Yeah." Xu Xin nodded, "But the heat absorption capacity of ordinary green-grade saltpeter is limited. Perhaps many pieces can only maintain the temperature of a very small space."
Li Wenxi stood up and said, "In short, saltpeter is necessary. The stock of saltpeter is too low now. We must collect more before it gets too hot!"
"… The saltpeter mine shouldn't be hot, right?" Xu Xin suddenly asked.
"It's indeed cooler." Li Wenxi nodded, then smiled, "It doesn't matter if it's hot, just throw a basin of water on it! The main problem is that the road is uncomfortable. The saltpeter mine is at least three kilometers away from my tree house. If it's too hot, I can't walk there!"
"I'll go with you." Xu Xin stood up. "I can just go to the saltpeter mine and place a coordinate."
When there were enough materials before, he made five more coordinates as backup.
It comes in handy right now.
"That's right!" Li Wenxi's eyes lit up and she patted his arm, "You are so smart!"
If coordinates were scarce commodities for them before, now they are somewhat expensive consumables.
After all, the coordinates were made with blue-level materials, and blue-level materials were not scarce for them now.
Therefore, it is acceptable to put down the coordinates for a mining site.
In this way, if the survivors responsible for mining want to mine, they no longer have to trek in the scorching heat, but can go directly into the cool mine.
"You are a little stupid." Xu Xin pinched her cheek and smiled, "Then I will go over and set the coordinates first, and you can bring the others. Where is the location of the mine?"
"I'm not stupid!" Li Wenxi slapped Xu Xin's hand away, "I'll go with you. It's hard to explain."
Xu Xin left immediately with Silver King down from the tree house.
For the first time, Coco was a little reluctant to go out, but was dragged out by Xu Xin.
Only with this little guy around can he truly feel at ease.
When I came outside the tree house, a wave of hot air suddenly hit me in the face.
“Wow…!” Feeling the heat, Li Wenxi’s face suddenly turned bitter.
There is a big temperature difference between inside and outside this house!
The temperature inside the house is now maintained at around 25 degrees under the influence of blue saltpeter.
Outside the house…
It's obviously over 40 degrees now!
The temperature is rising too fast!
“Hmm…” Coco lay on Xu Xin’s shoulder, with her limbs and big tail drooping, not wanting to move.
The Silver King also looked a little listless.
It’s so hot outside, it really makes me feel dizzy!
Outside the tree house, the water level in the pond he dug had even dropped significantly in less than an hour!
This pool is connected to the lake, and the water level in the pool has dropped, which means...
He looked toward the lake.
There was obvious water vapor rising above the lake.
but…
There was not a single cloud in the sky, the blue sky was extremely clear.
There is no sign of rain.
"… There won't be another severe drought, will there?" Xu Xin's eyes shrank slightly.
In his original world, heat is usually accompanied by heavy rain.
In addition, the country's South-to-North Water Diversion Project and other projects have ensured that the entire country does not lack drinking water, so he did not have much idea about the drought and did not notice it immediately.
But now…
Xu Xin frowned slightly.
This must be paid attention to!
He sent a message directly in the alliance channel.
"Everyone, remember to store water. In this kind of weather, drought may come."
"Drought?" Li Wenxi also noticed this. "Yes, it is indeed prone to drought. But... the lake can't possibly dry up, right?"
She pointed to the lake which was covered with a thick layer of ice a few days ago.
"No matter what, we still have to prepare in advance."
Xu Xin didn't think that his lake would dry up completely. After all, he knew very well how deep the lake was.
If it weren't for the Danshui Lake at that time, he would have suspected that the lake was connected to the sea.
but…
Most other people's tree houses are near streams.
Judging from the speed at which the lake level is dropping...
There is a high possibility that the stream will dry up!
He immediately contacted several people on his side and asked them to get more water.
Then, he and Li Wenxi were teleported to her tree house.
He climbed onto the wolf's back and soon, under the guidance of Li Wenxi, he found the saltpeter mine.
The entrance to the mine is not big, but it seems that it was not dug by her herself, but a naturally formed mine entrance.
There was actually a hint of coolness emanating from the mine.
"Hmm!" Coco, feeling the coolness, immediately jumped off Xu Xin's shoulder and ran into the mine.
The Silver King panted with his tongue hanging out, and also wanted to get into the cave quickly.
"That's the exit from the underground city we explored back then." Li Wenxi pointed in a direction. "When I came out of underground, I found this cave. I came in to take a look out of curiosity, and that's when I found the saltpeter."
“… You are so lucky.”
"Come in, let's put the coordinates in there, there's a suitable location inside!"
Indeed, it would be safer to put the coordinates inside.
Don't worry too much about the coordinates being destroyed.
Entering the mine, I suddenly felt enlightened.
The entrance to the mine is small, but the interior is huge.
Fortunately, this cave is not deep, only thirty meters deep, and traces of excavation can be clearly seen on the surrounding walls.
"There are saltpeter mines all around here." Li Wenxi walked to the wall, took out a pickaxe and knocked on it.
Then he picked up one of the broken stones and said, "Look."
"It seems that the reserves of saltpeter here should be quite large." Xu Xin nodded.
He found a flat place, put down the coordinates, activated them, and connected to Li Wenxi's coordinates.
"That's all." He brushed the dust off his hands, "Let's go back."
"Ying!" Coco, who had been wandering around in the mine, climbed onto Xu Xin's shoulders.
The two of them returned directly to Li Wenxi's tree house through the coordinates.
Li Wenxi immediately gathered everyone and sent them over to mine the saltpeter.
Xu Xin returned to his tree house.
The air became a little hotter.
The temperature continues to rise.
Wearing the steel armor, he felt himself sweating profusely.
At this temperature, we really can’t stay outside any longer!
It's easy to get heatstroke!
"You're back so soon." Lou Fei'er was about to return to her tree house when she saw Xu Xin and said in surprise, "We haven't gotten much water yet."
She didn't look abnormal, and she wasn't even sweating.
This temperature is really nothing for her with her mutant physique.
Ma Hongwei and Zeng Tao were still drawing water from the pool next to his tree house.
These two people also seem to have not changed at all.
…The mutant physique is really great.
Xu Xin exclaimed.
… etc!
If the scorching heat has no effect on Lou Feier and the others who have mutant physiques...
That mutant creature...!
Xu Xin narrowed his eyes slightly.
Mutated creatures shouldn't be affected either!
In other words, in this hot summer environment, they may still be attacked by a large number of mutant creatures!
You also need to be careful in this regard.
"The water in your pool is getting less and less. It feels like it will be gone in half an hour." Zeng Tao came over with a backpack. She put all the water she fetched in the backpack. "It's not because of us fetching water. The water level of the lake over there is also getting lower and lower."
"Try to get as much water as you can." It was too hot, so Xu Xin didn't want to talk much. "I'll go up first. If you have anything, please come to the tree house and find me directly."
"Hmm..." Coco called out weakly, urging him to go up quickly.
"Oh, okay. Ah, you're hot, right? Hehe, it seems that this mutated physique does have its benefits." Zeng Tao ran back to her tree house happily.
This guy…
"I'm going back too, Brother Xin." Ma Hongwei said, "The water I got is enough for a month, so it shouldn't be a problem."
He was wearing simple leather armor, and there was not a single bead of sweat on his forehead.
"Okay." Xu Xin nodded, too lazy to say more.
He was a little envious of these people's physiques.
Back in the tree house, Qingliang wrapped his whole body, making him feel comfortable instantly.
"Huh..." He let out a long sigh and sat down on the sofa.
When he opened the world channel, he found that the snow in other areas had almost melted away under the strong sunlight.
The survivors in these areas also began to complain.
Survivors all over the world have noticed this sudden natural disaster.
…This hot summer is not easy to get through.
