I understand what the furry ones are saying. I'm going crazy killing people in the apocalypse.

Chapter 32: Extreme Heat Arrives (4)

The sky was clear and the scorching sun baked the ground scorching hot, making the air extremely stuffy.

It was already four o'clock in the afternoon when we drove back to the base. Dragging her tired body back to the affairs center, Ji Li lay listlessly on the table.

I don't know what happened, but today I went out to fight monsters and I was extremely exhausted, and my head is dizzy.

"Knock, knock, knock."

Qu Jin walked in with a notebook: "Lord, the forty new recruits have been arranged..." His eyes fell on the person lying on the table, "Lord?"

Upon hearing this, Ji Li sat up straight and said, "Is everything arranged? It's a bit hot today, let the canteen prepare more iced mung bean soup." Two days ago, mung beans were newly available in the convenience store, and Ji Li saw them and directly bought 50 kilograms.

"Okay, I'll go to the cafeteria and tell her later." Qu Jin looked at the girl whose cheeks were abnormally red, and said with concern: "Lord, are you sick?"

Ji Li poured a glass of cold water and drank a few sips: "No, I'm just a little tired." Putting down the glass, she asked, "Is there anything else?"

Qu Jin: "Not for now." He paused and said worriedly, "If you feel uncomfortable, go back to your room and rest for a while. You are the lord of the base, so don't fall ill."

"No, go get busy."

After Qu Jin left the office center, Ji Li lay down on the table again and closed her eyes to rest for a while. A few words suddenly flashed in her mind while her thoughts were in chaos: extremely hot weather.

Sitting up suddenly, the little girl pressed her head: Strange, why did she think of extremely hot weather? She walked to the door and looked up at the sky, thinking for a long time.

Forget it, regardless of whether it is extremely hot weather or not, the base needs to be prepared.

After thinking about it, Ji Li first went to the convenience store to purchase what she needed.

When she saw the products that were refreshed today, Ji Li's eyes suddenly widened: "Ice maker?"

???

Is this a sign of extreme heat coming?

Without time to think, Ji Li operated the machine and cleared out all the things needed, such as ice packs, high-temperature protective clothing, sour plum powder, parasols, heat-relief medicine, thermal insulation film... and a life repair liquid, the name of which sounded very advanced.

Not only is it high-end, it is also expensive.

A small bottle costs 3000 gold coins!

And there is a purchase limit of only ten bottles.

When she was clearing out the convenience store, Lu Yang, wearing a black short-sleeved shirt and shorts, pushed the door open and saw Ji Li standing in front of the vending machine. He was startled and said, "Lord..."

"Eh?" Ji Li said softly, "You're here just in time. Let's have a meeting. Go and call all the psychics at the base to the affairs center."

Lu Yang responded, turned around and walked out of the convenience store quickly: "Okay, okay!"

About ten minutes later, Liang Jinglin Guangzong and others arrived at the business center.

Lin Yaozu hurried over: "What happened to my pretty sister? Did something happen at the base?"

Liang Jing asked: "Lord, is there something wrong with the base?"

"It's extremely hot weather, I think..." Ji Li finished talking about this and the convenience store's new ice machines and insulation film, and finally added, "Just in case, should we be prepared?"

After hearing this, Qu Jin's expression became serious: "We need to prepare countermeasures. Before the extreme heat comes, we should gather everyone together..."

Liang Jing also realized the seriousness of the matter: "I'll take people to apply the thermal insulation film."

Lin Yaozu raised his hand and chuckled, "Pretty sister, I'll help you sort out the supplies."

At 6:40 in the evening, the team responsible for gathering and the team that went out to search for supplies and fight monsters returned to the base one after another.

The temperature at this time has reached 45 degrees. The scorching temperature bakes the entire earth, making it almost hard to breathe.

The man carrying the tools was sweating profusely. He frowned and complained to his companion: "What's going on today? It's almost seven o'clock, and it's still so bright?"

"Yeah, if I hadn't looked at the time I wouldn't have known it was almost seven o'clock. It's so damn hot."

"Someone come and help! Someone has fainted..." "Hurry, hurry, hurry!"

Tian Wu was carrying tools when he heard a sound behind him and hurried over to check.

The person who fainted on the ground was a young man, his dark face was covered with sweat and his clothes were soaked with sweat.

Someone helped him up and exclaimed, "It's so hot, help carry him into the house!"

"Is it heat stroke?"

"Definitely."

"I'll go call Deputy Commander Qu over..."

Qu Jin bumped into the man when he came out of the office center. He heard that someone had fainted and was about to go over to check. Then he thought of something and returned to the house: "Lord, someone has fainted. Would you like to go and check?"

Ji Li was slightly surprised: "Oh, okay, I'll go take a look."

When they arrived at the room of the boy who had fainted, the others saw Ji Li and hurriedly greeted her.

"Lord Lord."

"My Lord..."

"My Lord, why are you here?"

Ji Li waved her hand and walked to the bedside to check on the boy who had fainted: "He must have had a heat stroke..." She took out a heat-relief potion from the storage space and handed it to someone else, "Give it to him and he'll be fine after he drinks it."

The roommate took the medicine, pried open the boy's mouth, and poured the medicine into his mouth.

After waiting for about two or three minutes, the fainted guy slowly opened his eyes, glanced at the figure standing beside the bed, and sat up quickly: "Deputy Captain Qu, why are you here?"

His roommate patted his shoulder and said, "You suddenly fainted just now. We carried you to the room to find Deputy Chief Qu. The Lord also came and fed you a bottle of medicine..."

The boy's eyes widened and he looked around the room: "The Lord is here too?"

"Don't look at it. The lord left before you woke up."

The boy looked disappointed: "Oh..."

Qu Jin didn't participate in this topic. Seeing that the boy woke up, he said, "Stay in the room and have a good rest."

After saying that, he turned and left the room.

At 7:10, the residents who were summoned to the affairs center looked at each other in confusion, not knowing what had happened.

Qu Jin stood in front of the crowd, holding a loudspeaker and saying that there might be extremely hot weather. The moment he finished speaking, the crowd suddenly exploded.

"No wonder it's so hot. Look at the sky. It's already past seven and it's still bright..."

"Can we still collect wood and stone tomorrow?"

"I'm not saying anything, brother, aren't you afraid of the heat? Are you still thinking about going out to collect?"

"Oh no! Making money is the most important thing. It's hot, so I can handle it."

"You're awesome."

"..."

"Everyone, be quiet and listen to me." Qu Jin held up a loudspeaker to signal everyone to be quiet. He continued, "In order to cope with the upcoming extreme weather, we will distribute ice machines, ice packs, and heat-relief medicines to everyone."

"Now everyone divide into groups according to the number of people living in the room, and receive an ice machine, ten bags of ice, and two bottles of heat-relief medicine."

"After you get your stuff, go to the cafeteria to eat, then go back to your room to rest. As for work, we'll see how it goes tomorrow."
