Film and Television World Life Record

I took a shower when I got home, changed into some cool clothes, and checked my phone. I saw that warnings about a high-temperature apocalypse were already circulating online.

However, the speed at which the super program splits is incremental; the impact of one night is not significant enough. It will take three or four days to reach its peak.

Despite this, the internet is abuzz with discussions about the authenticity of the warning letter. Some people have even begun going out to hoard supplies.

After breakfast, Li Mu said to Liu Yue and Sun Yuan, "Let's pack up and go to the mall to stock up on some clothes."

Sun Yuan asked, "Stockpiling clothes?"

Li Mu smiled and said, "That's right! Haven't you seen people online starting to rush to buy things? Our family doesn't lack supplies. The future situation is hard to predict, but we can stock up on more clothes."

Sun Yuan also showed a worried expression.

"Yes! This weather... I don't know when it will end. If it continues like this, sigh..."

……

On the road, there were significantly more cars than usual. Looking at the sanitation workers who were still working hard in the high temperature, Li Mu sighed. These urban beautifiers were probably one of the groups that suffered the most under the high temperature.

Liu Yue suddenly pointed to a shopping mall and said, "Why are there so many people in the supermarket?"

Li Mu turned his head and saw a large supermarket, which was crowded with people. On such a hot day, the supermarket couldn't keep up with the demand, and there was even a queue at the entrance.

Driving past another large shopping mall, it was still packed with people, with crowds pouring in from all directions. After visiting four or five more malls and stores, seeing the bustling scenes, Li Mu wisely decided not to get out of the car.

Finally, we arrived at the most upscale commercial district in Yun City. Unlike ordinary shopping malls that sell large quantities of supplies and food, this place mainly features big brands and luxury goods.

At times like these, everyone is thinking about stockpiling supplies, and fewer people are buying luxury goods.

After getting off the car, they entered the somewhat deserted shopping mall, called out to a few sales assistants, and Li Mu led Sun Yuan and Liu Yue to start shopping.

Two hours later, as the group drove away, the mall sent several delivery trucks to follow them. Within two hours, Li Mu had purchased over a hundred sets of clothes and shoes, and Sun Yuan and Liu Yue each received thirty to forty sets.

Given the quality of these clothes, they should last for ten years without any problem.

On the way back, the streets were still bustling with traffic. Suddenly, Liu Yue pointed in one direction and screamed, "Sir, look! The car...it's on fire!"

Li Mu turned his head and saw that a car driving normally in another lane suddenly burst into flames.

Then, a series of ear-piercing horn blares and screaming fires began to echo along the road.

"Oh my god!"

"The car is on fire! The car is on fire!"

Chaos erupted on the street, with pedestrians watching from a distance under the blazing sun. Luckily, several traffic police officers nearby had already run over.

Seeing the shocked expressions on Sun Yuan and Liu Yue's faces, Li Mu sighed and said, "There have been many similar cases online. If the high temperatures continue, this will happen even more frequently. In the future, if the temperature doesn't drop, try to stay home as much as possible."

Sun Yuan and Liu Yue nodded hurriedly as they looked at the scene.

Soon, with the traffic police maintaining order, the area around the burning car was cleared, and the people inside had jumped out and were standing nearby, making phone calls with panicked expressions.

Nearby, many car owners were also present, holding small car fire extinguishers and spraying them at the cars.

Sun Yuan and Liu Yue exchanged a glance: "From now on, we should go out less and drive less."

The car didn't stop and continued driving towards the villa. The traffic and pedestrian flow on the road were still heavy; perhaps in another two or three months, when the temperature rises to fifty or sixty degrees Celsius, no one would dare to go out anymore.

Back home, Li Mu went to check on the unfinished buildings. The renovation work on two buildings had been completed. The company had rented a large number of transport vehicles and equipment, and hired a large number of workers from the labor market. Various supplies and food had begun to be transported from the warehouse to the two buildings one after another.

Li Mu waved, and Xiao Liu, one of the on-site supervisors, immediately ran over when he saw the big boss coming to inspect.

"Mr. Li."

Li Mu nodded and looked at the workers, saying, "Thank you for your hard work in this hot weather!"

Looking at the farmers drenched in sweat, Xiao Liu remarked, "Yes! In this heat, the workers are indeed working very hard."

Li Mu asked, "How are wages calculated?"

Xiao Liu said, "Daily settlement, once a day, five hundred per day."

Li Mu then asked, "Are there any measures in place to prevent heatstroke among the workers?"

Xiao Liu said, "Yes, Mr. Li. We have specially brewed a batch of herbal tea to provide free of charge for everyone to drink and cool off in the summer."

"In addition, we have also provided a batch of Huoxiang Zhengqi Water here to prevent everyone from getting heatstroke."

Li Mu said, “We can’t be stingy in this regard. We can provide more mung bean soup, chilled plum juice, and other cooling items for everyone free of charge.”

"What about the workers' meals?"

Xiao Liu said, "We're only hiring temporary workers here, and there's no time to set up a canteen, so the workers have to buy their own food."

Looking at the scorching sun, Li Mu said, "It's too hot. Letting the workers find restaurants to eat on their own is a waste of their energy and time, and they'll suffer from the heat. How about this, we'll select a few clean restaurants nearby, order a batch of meals based on the number of workers each day, and provide them to the workers free of charge."

Xiao Liu replied happily, "Okay, Mr. Li."

Li Mu continued, "In this hot weather, there's still a lot of work to be done, and we need a lot of temporary workers. We also need to increase their wages."

"Here's what we'll do: on top of the current 500 yuan per day, we'll give each person an additional 300 yuan per day for high-temperature subsidies. Don't worry about hiring too many people; we need to get this work done as quickly as possible."

Xiao Liu nodded solemnly: "I've got it, Mr. Li."

Li Mu smiled and said, "Okay, I'll explain these things to President Wang later. We'll start implementing them tomorrow. You'll all have to work hard too."

Then he asked, "When will the renovation of the remaining six buildings be completed?"

Xiao Liu said, "Two buildings will be completed within two or three days. The other three buildings will be completed within seven or eight days."

"The last building, the tenth, eleventh and twelfth floors, needs to be renovated for insulation. The eighth and ninth floors will also be converted into a breeding center. Although the number of people involved is the largest, the completion time is still a bit slow."

"It will probably take about half a month for the last building to be completed."

Li Mu nodded: "I see! We need to speed up the transportation of supplies and try to fill up the building once it's completed."

"Within half a month, the transportation of supplies for the other seven buildings must be completed. For the remaining building, the transportation of supplies must also be completed within two days after completion."

"Can we handle these tasks?"

Xiao Liu said loudly, "Don't worry, Mr. Li, we will definitely deliver the supplies as quickly as possible."

Li Mu smiled and said, "Alright, you can go ahead and do your work!"

The car turned around and soon arrived at the Muwu Building. Most of the construction here was completed, with only a small amount of finishing work remaining.

The transportation of supplies is also underway urgently. The supplies stored here are better than those at the unfinished building site. Basic raw materials such as corn, wheat, and rice are stored here, but not much. In total, there are only a few hundred thousand tons.

Most of the stored items are finished or semi-finished products, including canned goods, alcoholic beverages, various drinks, and all sorts of daily necessities, medical supplies, and scarce resources.

After meeting with Wang Qian and chatting for a while, explaining things to her, Li Mu returned to the villa and resumed his life of leisure.

I took out my phone and browsed the internet. There was all sorts of information online, including experts and professors solemnly debunking rumors.

The most common reason given is that the planet has suffered severe pollution, the atmosphere has been damaged, leading to the greenhouse effect, urban heat island effect, and so on.

Netizens are also discussing it extensively, especially the appearance of the warning letter, which has caused even more chaos in public opinion. Many people have compared the content of the letter with reality and found that it is very likely to happen.

After browsing the news for a while, I asked Sun Yuan to turn on some light music so we could leisurely drink tea and read books in the gentle warmth of the breeze.

It wasn't until evening that Li Mu, unusually, turned on the television in order to get the latest and most authoritative information.

The TV was turned on, and it happened to be a weather news program.

"Latest news from the Meteorological Bureau: According to meteorological experts, temperatures in most parts of the country will remain around 40°C for the next month. In some areas with lower latitudes and longitudes, temperatures are expected to exceed 45°C. Experts advise viewers to stay indoors as much as possible, drink plenty of water, avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight, and take precautions against heatstroke..."

"The following is a weather news report from around the world..."

Listening to the numbers from the announcer, it was indeed true that no part of the world was spared; high temperatures were everywhere, even at the North and South Poles, where the highest temperatures exceeded ten degrees Celsius. It is said that there are signs of large-scale melting of glaciers.

After broadcasting weather news from various regions, the experts and professors on TV began to popularize various knowledge about heatstroke prevention and heat protection.

Li Mu took out the remote control, changed the channel, and the content was the same. He changed the channel again, and the content was still the same, both reporting on the high temperature weather.

Soon, the television screen switched to footage of a reporter conducting an interview.

The interviews focused on workers toiling outdoors in the scorching sun. Their skin was tanned dark, and their faces were covered in sweat. They endured the intense heat for a living. Fortunately, they received substantial high-temperature subsidies, which offered some consolation.

Some interviewed office staff said that because their offices have air conditioning, they are not afraid of the high temperatures for the time being, but they are still worried about the heat.

Some interviewed people at the hospital, where the extreme heat had caused the hospital to be overcrowded, especially with an increasing number of patients suffering from heatstroke.

……

I watched the news for a while, then turned off the TV and scrolled through my phone for a bit, reading all sorts of discussions in the hope that more people would realize the crisis sooner and make preparations in advance.

The next day, the super program's fragmentation accelerated, and more computers were infected. The fact that many cybersecurity companies were helpless further amplified the impact of the situation.

More people joined the discussion and research.

The third day, the fourth day...

For several days in a row, the warning letter was the hottest headline news... and countless people were affected by it.

By the fifth day, the whole world had begun to take action, discussing the authenticity of the letter and devising solutions.

If the contents of the letter are true, it would be a global catastrophe from which no one can escape. We must race against time and make every effort to prepare.

By the seventh day, all construction work on the Muwu Building was completed, and the material storage and transfer work within the building was basically finished. In the unfinished building area, the material transfer work on four buildings had been completed, and the upper floors were filled with grain and various supplies.

Of the remaining four buildings, three are basically completed, and the material handling will begin tomorrow.

The authorities have also started taking action.

For example, various regions have begun recruiting a large number of auxiliary police officers, several times more than the current number. Furthermore, a pathway to permanent positions has been opened, and in the near future, a group of outstanding performers will be selected and given permanent positions.

On the other hand, a series of high-temperature heatstroke prevention renovations for air-raid shelters, basements, underground parking lots, underground shopping malls, etc., have also been urgently launched.
