Chapter 138 Trapped
The flood is no longer surging, the ice layer is quickly melted by the sun, the surface is smooth and there is no point of support, and those who fall into the water cannot climb up at all.
Two of them reacted quickly and ran towards the unit building. Unfortunately, their running speed was not as fast as that of the ice crack.
Slipped and fell on the ice, then fell into the ice water.
After more than a year of natural disasters, my body has reached its limit, and I was already very weak. Biting ice water was poured into my mouth and nose.
The rustling of the walkie-talkie brought Jiang Ning's consciousness back.
"Ah Ning, the extreme heat is coming earlier."
Jiang Ning couldn't remember the exact date, but it should have been mentioned, and the speed of breaking the ice was very fast.
She felt uneasy in her heart, "Do you feel that the sun is very dazzling?"
Huo Yishen knocked on the door outside, "Yes, and the temperature is rising too fast."
Open the door, eyes meet.
In the previous life, many people died of heat. This time the temperature soared at the beginning, and the consequences will only be more serious.
Thinking of the "steamer sauna" he experienced, Jiang Ning only felt his scalp tingling.
If there is a choice, it is not as good as the extreme cold weather, at least you can get under the quilt.
Seeing her solemn expression, Huo Yi comforted him deeply: "I have prepared everything that needs to be prepared in advance, and I will get through it."
Yeah, will get through it.
In the past, she was alone, lacking water and food.
Now there is not only space, a dog, but also a...boyfriend, and a few friends. The conditions are not much better than last time.
After breakfast, the two discussed collecting potatoes.
Even with growth promoters, the extreme heat was premature and the potatoes were not yet ripe.
I dug a pot, the size is smaller than the previous batch, and the taste is more jerky and difficult to swallow.
If they are picked now, not only will the yield be severely reduced, but immature potatoes will be more difficult to preserve.
Huo Yi asked deeply, "Do you want to pick it?"
Potatoes on the balcony are exposed to the sun, and the leaves have wilted as the temperature rises.
Jiang Ning thought for a while, "Don't collect it for now, I'll put it in the black soil garden of the space and try to see if they will grow again."
As a result, dozens of large pots of potatoes were all collected into the space and neatly placed in the garden.
"Big brother, I'm hot."
From waking up to now, Doudou changed clothes three times, but she still felt hot in the skirt.
The ice had just melted, and the water was still very cold, but the 18th floor was the top floor, and the concrete roof had already turned white and gray in the sun.
Don't look at the temperature of 39 degrees, but the surface temperature has reached 72 degrees.
Sitting in the living room, you can feel the continuous heat seeping down from the ceiling.
This is the biggest disadvantage of living on the top floor. In summer, without an air conditioner, it can be very hot, let alone extremely hot.
Not only Doudou is hot, but even Coke can't stand it.
The dog, who was always lively and active, squatted quietly at this moment, sticking out his long tongue to dissipate heat.
Jiang Ning walked into the master bedroom of 1801, took out the electric storage box and the air-conditioning fan, and did not forget to add ice cubes inside.
I want to turn on the air conditioner, but the sound of the outdoor unit is too loud.
There are already many water towers on the 18th floor. If the air conditioner is turned on, it will undoubtedly tell all the survivors that there is no shortage of water and electricity on the 18th floor. Come and grab it.
Don't worry, wait and see first.
As soon as the air-conditioning fan was turned on, it was immediately occupied by two, and the air-conditioning was blowing out from inside, and Doudou was very happy, "Wow, it's so cool."
Jiang Ning didn't feel particularly hot in Puxin's thermostatic clothes - 25 degrees, give you eternal love.
At this point, though, I'm a little worried.
"I want to go out for a while."
Zhang Chao and the others have been away for several days, but Keren hasn't come back yet. Could it be that something happened?
Huo Yi asked deeply, "Do you want to pick up Zhang Chao and the others?"
Jiang Ning nodded, "There are fewer people going out now, but it's safer."
"Wait a minute, the ice has not been broken in many areas, and it is more dangerous for the assault boat to be broken halfway."
Huo Yishen analyzed to her, "Perhaps, they are also waiting to break the ice before returning, and it will be more troublesome to miss it then."
He was right, Jiang Ning planned to wait.
After eating, I went back to take a nap, took out big ice cubes to cool off the heat, and the air conditioner and fan were blowing, and the hot air gradually cooled down.
After waking up at four o'clock in the afternoon, the sun was still fierce, showing no signs of weakness. It seemed that it wanted to make up for the lost time of more than a year, and it kept scorching the reinforced concrete standing on the water.
Jiang Ning went to the balcony to measure the temperature, and found that the hot air flow was oncoming, and it was 43 degrees.
Looking around, the water surface is sparkling, and the ice has long since disappeared.
He put on a sun protection suit over the constant temperature clothes, and hats and masks are indispensable. Jiang Ning sent the dog to 1801.
Huo Yi was deeply worried, "You stay at home, I will pick them up."
Jiang Ning has his own insistence, "No, I can do it myself."
If 1803 wasn't her friend, would he go out?
She agreed, but she didn't want to develop a habit of relying on him for everything, and eventually turn herself into a giant baby.
In addition, she will not suffer from heat stroke wearing a constant temperature suit.
Seeing her persistence, Huo Yishen didn't force it, "Be careful when you go out."
Carrying a heavy assault boat, Jiang Ning went downstairs to the 7th floor.
The 7th floor is obviously much cooler, but the indescribable smell chokes the nostrils.
On the surface of the water, there are all kinds of ups and downs of garbage bags, and it is not good for the stomach to see too much.
Jiang Ning put on a two-layer mask, put the inflated assault boat into the water, and drove it skillfully.
The booming engine attracted the attention of the survivors of the unit building.
It's the 18th floor again!
Their inflatable boats were all hardened, and they exploded when they were inflated. Why is the assault boat on the 18th floor intact?
Envy, envy and hate, but everyone knows that the 18th floor is a ruthless character. At most, they can say a few words in their hearts, but no one dares to think of them.
The heat is very hot, but the water is more heat-absorbing, but the smell is not good.
Jiang Ning thought well, and there were almost no assault boats or rubber boats along the way.
Firstly, it was damaged by freezing due to improper storage, and secondly, most of the survivors stayed at home under the covers to fight against the extreme cold. Who would have thought that they would switch to extreme heat mode overnight, and would not go out easily even if they had nothing to do.
However, some people were still trapped by the flood, desperately shouting and waving to Jiang Ning, hoping to be rescued.
I didn't even care about it, just flew over.
Avoiding the garbage and corpses in the water, Jiang Ning set off towards the destination at a fast speed, and it took half an hour to arrive at the security patrol station where Zhang Chao and the others were stationed.
Unexpectedly, a lot of people were crowded at the door, and they all waved when they saw an assault boat coming.
Jiang Ning stabilized and stopped at a distance of 30 meters.
Dozens of people were crowded at the door, including security patrols and survivors who happened to be nearby, clamoring for rescue.
"Little girl, we are trapped, can you give us a ride?"
They were trapped by the flood waters, and the city council arranged for rescuers, but it was not known how long it would take.
Jiang Ning wants to show kindness and send them back. It is not known whether the people and the assault boat can return home safely.
Seeing that she was unmoved, many people felt uncomfortable, "What's the matter with this person? What's the matter with giving us a ride along the way, and there will be no loss of meat."
Some people spoke more politely, "Beauty, I'll give half a catty of food, how about you send me home?"
"I'll pay a catty."
"I pay two catties."
"Beauty, send me to me. You don't have a boyfriend yet, do you? My brother is very handsome. Let me introduce you."
Jiang Ning was disturbed by all kinds of noise, and took out a crossbow from his bag to shoot.
"Wow, she has a guy, so fierce."
"No wonder you are so cold, there are two brushes."
