Xu Xin began to ponder.
Just now, the sunlight shining on his hands felt like burning his skin.
This is not an exaggeration, but his true feelings.
Just grilling!
It felt as if he would be sunburned if he stayed in the sun for more than ten seconds!
The sun is really too harsh!
"You guys went out just now? Are you okay under such scorching sunlight?" Xu Xin asked.
"That's right. We have experienced the feeling of being exposed to sunlight, so I think the current situation is related to the sunlight." Ji Chaoyang explained.
At this time, Qi Xuefei's voice came from the other end of the voice chat: "The sunlight is very strange now. The temperature outside is not too high, about 40 degrees, which is much lower than yesterday afternoon. But even so, the damage caused by the sunlight to us is too high."
This was also Xu Xin’s direct feeling just now.
"Sun damage?" Li Wenxi was a little confused. "What do you mean?"
"When the sun shines on the skin, there will be an extremely strong burning sensation." Ji Chaoyang continued, "Moreover, it is very harmful to the skin. Xue Fei and I just came down from the tree house and walked to the teleportation array. Our hands and faces were exposed to the sun within a dozen seconds, and we suffered varying degrees of sunburn."
"Ah? Is it so exaggerated?" Li Wenxi immediately walked to the window and stretched out his hand.
Then, her brows slightly frowned, and after about three or four seconds, she exclaimed and retracted her hand: "Oh my God, it's so hot!"
Then he blew twice on the back of his hand.
"Are you okay?" Xu Xin grabbed her hand, took a look at it, and was immediately shocked.
The back of Li Wenxi's originally fair hands was slowly turning red.
"It's okay, it's okay." Li Wenxi took back his hand, blew it twice more, and then stroked his hand and said, "This sun is really harsh!"
"It's really too vicious." Qi Xuefei also sighed on the other end of the voice, "We were only out for a short while just now, and Ji Chaoyang and I each took a pill."
… Is this true or false
"Well... although it was only a dozen seconds, it felt like being exposed to the sun for a whole day during the dog days of summer." Ji Chaoyang explained, "The exposed skin was severely sunburned. However, the parts covered by the clothes were not damaged."
Xu Xin was startled for a moment, then his eyes lit up: "That is to say, as long as we wrap ourselves up tightly, we can still move around outside?"
"… The premise is that you can bear the current temperature, covering yourself with only your eyes. Oh, and don't let the sun shine on your eyes, and don't look directly at it, otherwise…"
Ji Chaoyang didn't say anything else, but sighed.
Apparently, he tried.
No wonder they used pills.
Eye injuries are different from skin injuries. If the eyes and hands are injured, it is equivalent to a severe disability.
"What is your random increase today?" Xu Xin suddenly asked.
"Random amplification?" Ji Chaoyang was a little surprised why Xu Xin asked this. "It's a strength amplification. Why are you asking this?"
"Today, I am high temperature resistant."
“…High temperature resistance?”
Not only Ji Chaoyang on the other end of the voice was surprised, but even Li Wenxi beside him looked at him with wide eyes.
Xu Xin briefly explained the role of high temperature resistance, and then said: "I should be able to go out today."
"... The decoration level of your tree house has exceeded 1000?" Ji Chaoyang immediately thought of the problem and said in surprise.
After all, there were only a few random increases before 1000. Since Xu Xin had a new random increase, it meant that the decoration level of his tree house had exceeded the next limit.
"That's right, so I can move around now." Xu Xin said, "Plus I have a bracelet on my hand, so it's not a problem to bring people with me."
In addition, Lou Feier and the others can also tolerate high temperatures, and as long as they are wrapped tightly, they can move freely outside.
Just watch your eyes.
Wear a sun hat
Well, there is this kind of thing in the points mall, sold as ordinary clothes. I didn’t expect that I can still use it now.
"Indeed." Ji Chaoyang affirmed, "Your increase comes at the right time. However, we don't have any need to go out right now."
"What is your prediction?" Xu Xin asked.
"It's just a picture of him sitting in his tree house." Ji Chaoyang said helplessly, "Nothing happened outside the tree house, so there's not much useful information."
Won't anything happen
Is it just a matter of getting through the scorching heat and intense sunlight
Or, the danger is unknown
In any case, going out now is not a good option.
"I'll go to the other people's tree houses to discuss the current situation." Xu Xin said.
There really wasn't anything else to do now.
After hanging up the call, Xu Xin saw that Li Wenxi was frowning and looking out the window towards her tree house, with a hint of worry in her eyes.
"What's wrong Wenxi?"
"Hmm... Yajun should be in my tree house now." Li Wenxi said with some concern, "Although my tree house has a heavy crossbow that can automatically search for enemies and attack, Yajun was still a little worried, so she went back. I thought it wouldn't be too hot with the blue saltpeter anyway, so I let her go."
"But now..."
She turned to look at Xu Xin: "You should have called me just now, right? Although my watch can't receive it, the tree house should be able to receive it, right?"
Xu Xin also frowned and immediately made a voice call to Li Wenxi's tree house.
As a result, still no one answered.
"Could something have happened?" Li Wenxi was very worried, "Let's go over and take a look!"
"good."
Xu Xin immediately bought some gloves, masks, sunglasses and other items from the points mall and wrapped himself tightly.
"Do you want to join us?" he asked in a muffled voice.
"certainly!"
Xu Xin put her into the bracelet and swung down from the tree house.
The sun has completely risen from the horizon.
"hiss-"
Xu Xin withdrew his gaze from subconsciously looking towards the position of the sun and closed his eyes tightly.
He felt a fierce burning sensation in his eyes!
Enduring the pain, he slightly opened his eyes, his vision had become blurry and bloodshot.
this… !
Even if he accidentally glanced at her, he was clearly wearing sunglasses!
Sunglasses are totally useless!
Blurred vision was a big problem. He had no choice but to close his eyes again, fumbled to take out the pills from his backpack and swallowed them to heal his eyes first.
... If people don’t have the pills, their eyesight will probably be ruined in the near future.
Only now did he truly realize how terrible this sunlight was.
It's simply impossible to guard against!
The cost of trial and error is too high!
Moreover, the current survivors cannot contact the outside world, and those who already know the situation cannot inform others of the situation.
So, basically, everyone has to be hurt before they can understand the power of the sun.
He, Ji Chaoyang, and Qi Xuefei were all seriously injured.
But... most of the other survivors don't have such a powerful pill!
This is outrageous.
Xu Xin immediately went back to the tree house, woke up Niu Fugui who was still sleeping soundly, told him the current situation, and asked him to warn others not to try to look at the sun after getting up.
"Don't worry, Brother Xin!" Although Niu Fugui was also very surprised, he patted his chest and said that he would leave it to him.
Coming out of the tree house again, he didn't waste any more time. He lowered his head and ran directly to the coordinates, activated the portal, stepped into it, and was teleported directly to the side of Li Wenxi's tree house.
Then he immediately ran to the shadow under the tree house, made sure that the sunlight would not shine on it, and released Li Wenxi from the bracelet.
"What are you doing? You're so slow!" Li Wenxi was so anxious in the bracelet that he hit Xu Xin as soon as he came out, then fanned himself with his hand, "It's so hot!"
Of course it's hot outside. Even now, when the temperature is relatively low during the day, it's still around 45 or 46 degrees.
Seeing that Li Wenxi was also subconsciously looking towards the morning glow in the sky, Xu Xin quickly reached out and pried her head open: "Don't look over there! I took a look with sunglasses on and my eyes were burned."
"Ah?" Li Wenxi was startled and looked into his eyes quickly, "Are you okay?"
"It's okay. I took a pill." Xu Xin saw that her forehead was already sweating and said, "Let's go up quickly."
He couldn't control Li Wenxi's tree house, so he could only let her take him up there.
"Oh ok!"
The roots stretched down and brought the two into the tree house.
The temperature inside the tree house is almost the same as outside, and it is just as hot.
"Eh? Why is it so hot in the room? Where's Yajun?" Li Wenxi panicked and called out, "Yajun! Are you there?"
As a result, no one responded.
"In your bedroom, right?" Xu Xin pointed to the closed bedroom door.
It is still a bit difficult for blue-grade saltpeter to maintain the temperature of the entire tree house, but a small bedroom should not be a problem.
Li Wenxi immediately ran over and pushed the door open: "Yajun? Ah!"
Xu Xin wanted to follow him in, but Li Wenxi immediately yelled, "You are not allowed to come in!"
Then he closed the door with a bang.
Um
What's going on
Ah, Li Yajun should be sleeping in there.
Huh
That's not right.
After the door was pushed open just now, there didn't seem to be any cool air coming out.
The temperature in the bedroom is basically the same as outside.
Inside the house, behind the closed door, Li Wenxi's voice could be heard: "Yajun? Yajun! Wake up!"
As a result, she called for a while, but Li Yajun didn't seem to wake up.
…
"What's going on inside?" Xu Xin asked immediately.
"Yajun seems to be unconscious! Wait a moment!"
There was a rustling sound from inside, and after about ten seconds, Li Wenxi's voice came: "Come in."
Xu Xin pushed the door open and saw Li Yajun sitting up with the help of Li Wenxi.
The clothes she was wearing should have been the ones Li Wenxi had just put on her.
Her face was flushed, she was sweating profusely, and her brows were furrowed. She obviously looked like she had heatstroke.
However, her complexion was improving at a speed visible to the naked eye.
"I gave her some pills. She should be fine in a while." Li Wenxi's tone became more relaxed, and then he asked angrily, "What's wrong with Yajun? Didn't you use saltpeter to reduce her fever?"
Xu Xin pointed to the other side of the bed and said, "She used it."
Next to the bed, there was a basin of somewhat turbid water.
Moreover, in Xu Xin's eyes, the water also emitted a blue light.
He reached in and probed.
Sure enough, it was the water formed by the dissolution of blue saltpeter.
Moreover, judging by the turbidity of the water, there is probably more than just a piece of blue saltpeter dissolved in it.
But even so, the temperature of the water is already the same as the room temperature of 45 or 46 degrees.
"This..." Li Wenxi was a little confused, "Then why..."
“Hmm…” Li Yajun, who was leaning against the head of the bed and on Li Wenxi, hummed and slowly opened her eyes.
Her complexion has returned to normal, but her condition is still not very good.
Although the pills could cure her illness, they could not restore her mental state. Judging from her previous state, she must have not slept well last night, so naturally she was a little depressed now.
"Ah...! Wen Xi? And Xu Xin, why are you here?" Li Yajun saw the two of them and immediately sat up from the bed. Then she thought of something and suddenly looked down at herself.
Seeing that she was wearing clothes, she breathed a sigh of relief, then asked in confusion: "How can I..."
"I dressed you well, there's no way he could see it." Li Wenxi explained casually, and then immediately asked fiercely, "What's wrong with you, Yajun! When we came, you had already fainted from heatstroke! If we hadn't come, you would never wake up!"
"Ah?" Li Yajun was startled, and then felt the sticky feeling of sweat all over her body, and the room temperature was as high as 45 degrees. "I... I clearly used blue saltpeter, and I used three pieces, why..."
Is it true
Seeing that Li Yajun herself was not clear about the situation, Xu Xin confirmed his inner guess.
“Could it be…” Li Wenxi also vaguely guessed it.
"It should be that the low temperature provided by the three pieces of blue saltpeter is not enough to maintain it until now." Xu Xin picked up the basin with three pieces of dissolved saltpeter and said, "When you were asleep, the temperature did drop, but the three pieces of saltpeter soon dissolved completely and stopped absorbing heat. This tree house has no constant temperature ability, and the temperature gradually rose, and you got heatstroke in your sleep."
As he spoke, he opened the window and placed the basin of water with dissolved saltpeter on the windowsill in the sunlight.
Under the scorching sun, the water in the basin made a sizzling sound and then evaporated rapidly at a speed visible to the naked eye.
This speed is even faster than using a high fire on the stove to collect the sauce...
"Ah, is that so?" Li Yajun said in surprise. "Now that I think about it, I did have a very uncomfortable sleep last night. I was in a half-asleep and half-awake state the whole time, and it was very hot!"
"You, if we hadn't come over, you would have fallen asleep!" Li Wenxi felt a little scared at the thought and patted her head.
"Oh... I'm sorry..." Li Yajun felt embarrassed and a little guilty.
She originally wanted to come over to look after the house, but she didn't expect it to become a trouble.
"Forget it, I'm glad you're okay."
Xu Xin was looking at the evaporating water in the basin and the blue saltpeter powder that was precipitating, and narrowed his eyes slightly.
This is not the extent that she is fine.
If you think about it carefully, this is simply... a disaster!
Li Yajun has blue-grade saltpeter for cooling down, and she can do this, so what about the other survivors
If other survivors get heatstroke in their sleep like her, will they be able to wake up
The tree house they were staying in was so comfortable that he almost forgot about the plight of others.
He thought that around 40 degrees at night was a good temperature.
But now think about it...
Still exaggerated.
You know, there are indeed high temperatures of 44 or 45 degrees on Earth.
But the highest temperature is in the afternoon.
The temperature at night can reach 35 degrees, which is already very high.
So, on Earth, even if there is no air conditioning, in such hot weather, you can just use a fan to get through it.
But here, not only is there no fan, the temperature is also over 40 degrees!
The temperature can even exceed 45 degrees in the early morning!
this…
This is definitely not a temperature that a normal person can withstand!
For other survivors, this is a disaster that poses an extreme threat to their lives!
If I can't wake up, I'm afraid I'll never wake up again!
Xu Xin subconsciously wanted to swipe his watch to check the number of people on the watch, but there was no response after swiping several times.
Only then did he realize that his watch was too far away from his tree house and had lost its function.
He wanted to let Li Wenxi see it again, but as soon as he opened his mouth, he closed it again and shook his head helplessly.
…The regional channel has been closed and can no longer be opened.
I can't see the number of people now.
…Mad.
Xu Xin cursed in his heart.
This is so difficult!
He sighed.
There's no way, we can't help them now, they can only rely on themselves.
I hope not so many people will die in this heat wave.
Now, he can only think about what to do next.
… Is there any way to artificially end this hot summer, just like during the cold winter
