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

Chapter 33: Extreme Heat Arrives (5)

Lin Guangzong came over and asked, "Brother Qu Jin, what should we do with the forty people in the back mountain?"

Qu Jin had already thought it through: "You drive them all to the base."

"Okay, I'll go right away."

At that time, in the back mountain.

The sun was scorching and the temperature continued to rise. Everyone hid in the tent to avoid direct sunlight, but it was useless. Even if they sat still, sweat would pour down.

A small number of people began to experience difficulty breathing and accelerated heartbeats, just like a fish thrown into a steamer, feeling hot and uncomfortable.

Xu Lingyun was not feeling well either. Although he was a supernatural being with endurance several times that of an ordinary person, being in an extremely hot and stuffy environment for a long time would also cause his health to decrease.

He looked at his health points: 81.

Xu Lingyun felt that he couldn't stay like this any longer. He didn't know what was going on with this horrible weather. He had to get back to the Red Maple Base quickly. As he was thinking, he just stood up and heard the sound of vehicles driving.

Lin Guangzong shouted with a loud speaker: "Everyone, get in the car quickly. I'll take you to the base. Don't stay here!"

The person who came out of the tent asked nervously, "Which base are we going to go to?" They wouldn't be sent back, would that be too painful?

"Of course it's our base. Get in the car first and we'll talk about it when we get there."

Everyone gets on the bus.

Xu Lingyun hesitated for a few seconds and got into the car.

When he heard about the extreme weather, Qu Jin began to think about how to arrange the forty newly recruited people.

He planned to first issue them resident certificates and arrange rooms for them to rest, and then collect wood and stones after the extreme heat passed.

As mentioned earlier, residents who are not residents of the Taoyuan base can only stay in the base for two hours, so this is the only thing we can do.

The car drove into the base and everyone got out.

When they saw the scenery inside the base and the large fields, Xu Lingyun and the other thirty-nine survivors were all shocked. The shock was even greater than seeing the corn and clean water.

Xu Lingyun followed everyone to the business center, looking around with an inexperienced look.

"Welcome everyone to Taoyuan Base."

A voice woke everyone up.

Qu Jin held the loudspeaker and said, "With extreme heat coming, considering everyone's safety, our base has decided to issue resident certificates in advance."

"Let's line up now. Those who don't want to join Taoyuan Base stand on the left, and those who really want to join stand on the right..."

Before he finished speaking, everyone stood on the right side in unison, as if hesitating for even a second longer would be a disrespect to themselves.

Are you kidding? After seeing such a great base with your own eyes, who wouldn’t want to stay?

They are not stupid.

Xu Lingyun hesitated for only a second before standing in the right team. He came to secretly investigate the Taoyuan base, so how could he leave now? And...

Suddenly I feel it’s good to stay here.

"After you get your resident ID cards, we will assign rooms to four people. After that, everyone can come and collect supplies." Qu Jin added. "In addition, 500 gold coins have been deposited into your resident ID cards."

"Everyone remember to keep your resident card safe. You will need it to enter and exit the base and make purchases. If you lose it, your gold coins will be reset if you apply for a new one."

"Finally, please remember and abide by the rules of Taoyuan Base. Anyone who violates the rules will be expelled from the base and will never be received again."

Xu Lingyun was standing in the middle of the line. When it was his turn, he pushed the door and walked into the business center, feeling a chill.

His eyes fell on the wall-mounted air conditioner and he was shocked again.

No, who can tell him that this base still has air conditioning?! This is the end of the world!

There is also electricity at the Red Maple Base, but it is provided by generators and is a limited resource, so it can only be used in important places, such as the base commander's office and room.

If other people want to use electricity, they need to exchange it for crystal cores. Xu Lingyun can certainly afford it, but it is not worth it at all. But now——

Taoyuan Base actually turned on the air conditioner? But think about it, it's so hot out there, it would be a disaster if we don't turn on the air conditioner.

Walking forward to the desk and stopping, Xu Lingyun's gaze fell on Ji Li who was entering resident information. He was slightly stunned, and his reaction was the same as Liang Jing's.

A girl like this should not appear in the apocalypse. She is incompatible with the ecological environment of the apocalypse.

"Hello, I'm here to apply for a resident card."

Ji Li sat in front of the computer, looking up at him with a stern face: "Name?"

"Xu Lingyun, Ling in the sky, cloud in the sky."

"age?"

"Twenty-five, single."

"..."

Ji Li paused for a moment while tapping the keyboard: "Do you have any awakened abilities?"

Xu Lingyun met those clear and clean almond eyes, and he felt a little guilty: "...No."

The next step is to record the iris. After the information is entered, Ji Li hands over the black card automatically printed by the computer.

Xu Lingyun took it and looked at it: "As long as I have this card, I can buy whatever I want?"

Ji Li nodded: "Yes, it can only be used in Taoyuan Base."

Xu Lingyun looked at the girl's soft, white and delicate face and asked curiously, "How long have you been in Taoyuan Base?"

"Less than two months."

Xu Lingyun wanted to ask something else, but Qu Jin, who was sitting at another computer desk, stood up and said, "Those who have applied for resident ID cards please leave immediately. If you have any questions, just read the manual."

Xu Lingyun choked up, took the resident ID card and "Taoyuan Base Life Handbook" he received, turned around and walked out of the affairs center.

After entering the information of all forty people, Qu Jin walked over and said, "My Lord."

Ji Li poured a glass of mint water and handed it over, her almond eyes curved and she smiled: "Thank you for your hard work, Deputy Commander Qu."

Qu Jin couldn't help but smile and took the cup: "Just call me by my name." He shook the cup, "The title of Deputy Director Qu makes me a little flustered."

"Why are you panicking?"

The girl poured another cup of mint water and took two big gulps: "I don't know how long this will be hot. The temperature outside has already climbed to 47 degrees..."

Qu Jin was also worried: "I hope it can be over as soon as possible." He picked up the mint water and took a sip. "By the way, among the new recruits this time, there may be people sent by Ge Yong to explore our base."

Ji Li said "oh".

Qu Jin raised his eyebrows: "Aren't you worried?"

The latter held the glass of water and looked at him without blinking: "Are you worried?"

Qu Jin smiled and said, "Don't worry, just come. There's no coming back anyway."

……

……

It was still dark, and the continuously rising temperature made the asphalt road soft, withered large areas of grass and crops, dried up the rivers, cracked the land, and the smell of rotting food filled the air.

The air conditioning didn't seem to be very effective, and even if I stayed in the room I still felt stuffy.

Inside the Red Maple Base.

Three consecutive days of high temperatures turned the base into hell. People staying on the periphery were in unspeakable pain, their skin was sunburned and peeling, and their bloody flesh was stuck to their clothes.
