Chapter 190 Drought
"Why is it still so bright? Isn't it past eight o'clock?"
"Yeah? It's like noon."
The communication between the two passing by fell into Feng Mian's ears.
?
It's eight o'clock now?eight pm?
I remember that it was noon when I went out, and I wasted an afternoon with Zhu Jiuyin, after I got home and went out with Jiang Tang, it should be night now.
He raised his head, the sun hung high above his head, the sun was strong, no different from noon.
After Zhu Jiuyin's death, the city returned to the sunny summer of August, when the sun was shining and the reflections of the trees fell on the scorched ground.
The weather seems to be really hot recently, and on the way out of the hibernation, almost no one was seen on the side of the road, and everyone was nestled at home.
The rising temperature of the ground almost distorts the air, and everything in the distance becomes blurred, as if looking at the opposite side through the fog of a steamer.
The external unit of the air conditioner hanging outside the building keeps running, bringing coolness to the room.
Encapsulation and Ginger Candy are now insensitive to air temperature perception.
He is no longer the ordinary person who would be frozen half to death on Guguan Mountain. Now, with the enhancement of his abilities, Fengmian is more adaptable to harsh weather.
Moreover, Ginger Candy's ability itself is related to ice, so she will not be afraid of this hot weather. There is a cool air around her, and the temperature is cooler than the air in other places.
However, after being reminded by two passers-by who hurried home just now, Feng Mian did feel that the current temperature is much higher than before.
Even if it is the hottest time in August, the temperature shouldn't be so high. Even the trees, flowers and plants on the side of the road are wilted, and they can't stand the long-term high temperature.
Jiang Tang frowned, she couldn't feel the heat brought by the scorching heat at all, she only reacted after hearing what the two said: "What's going on, look over there, even the water in the fountain is almost dry."
Feng Mian followed the direction of her finger, and the fountain in the middle of the square did not know when it stopped bubbling water.
It's unusually hot.
and……
The sun has not yet set, even if it is already the time when the moon should rise at night, it is still like daytime.
"It's evening now."
Jiangtang nodded: "Yes, but it's just like noon..."
Not only is there a problem with the climate, but even the alternation of day and night.
How is this going?Isn't Zhu Jiuyin dead?It can no longer affect day and night. Are there any other strange beasts in Ningcheng?
Jiang Tang also thought of this: "Are there any other strange beasts here? I can't sense them, Ning Cheng's energy magnetic field is very chaotic."
That's right, after Zhu Jiuyin and so many Gu carvings appeared one after another, Ning Cheng's energy field became chaotic.
It seems that with their appearance, countless strange beasts woke up from their sleep.
Feng Mian can no longer perceive whether there is a strange beast in a certain place, nor can he feel the specific energy fluctuations brought by the strange beast.
According to his current perception, the whole Ning City has become a game of chess that has been broken up.
All the chess pieces that originally represented the strange beasts were mixed together in a mess, overlapping and interrelated with each other, and it was impossible to feel the specific movement at all.
"Let's go back first, even if it doesn't feel hot, it will still turn black after a long time in the sun!" Jiang Tang pulled Feng Mian's arm.
Not long after the two returned home, the sun finally set at eleven o'clock, and the night came as expected.
Then the moon hung high until four o'clock in the afternoon of the next day, rising by the sun, and setting again after twenty hours of daylight.
Days and nights alternate chaotically and with no regularity.
In the following month, sometimes the day will last for twenty or thirty hours, and sometimes the sun will not hang for a few hours before it will be dark.
The sun and moon began to appear and disappear at will like unruly employees.
However, this is not unacceptable to people who have been infested by demons and alien beasts. It's just that the alternation of day and night is chaotic, and no one will die.
People quickly get used to this kind of life.
Not long after that, the communication circuit and network were repaired very quickly. It is said that some mysterious organization repaired these during the hot summer when no one went out.
The word blue bird came to Feng Mian's mind immediately.
It is certainly impossible for them to do good deeds without asking for rewards. If there is no profit, Feng Mian does not believe that the blue bird that has been silent for a while will come out again.
Perhaps to gain access to communications or networks.
It's also possible that the outside world cannot communicate with the Internet and affect the efficiency of their missions.
In short, Fengmian and Jiangtang can stay at home for a short time during this hottest time, huddling together on the sofa and surfing the Internet with the air conditioner on.
But the good times didn't last long, and within a week of such days, the latest news reports came from the TV with the network restored.
"Today's drought is severe..."
It has not rained for a long time, and many places have experienced drought.
Even the soil on the flower beds downstairs and on the roadside were dry and cracked, and the dry air caused all the flowers and plants on the roadside to wither.
The situation in Ningcheng is not bad, because it is close to the sea, and the base of the blue bird is in Ningcheng.
Most of the Jade Bird members have houses in Ningcheng and live locally. For the convenience of their own lives, sometimes some members take over the task of filtering the seawater and artificially raining it.
Other, more distant cities are more severely drought-affected.
The main reason is that apart from the absence of rain for a long time, the current temperature is too high.
Ginger Tang curiously measured the outside temperature with a thermometer and found that it had reached 47 degrees.
This is almost impossible in a coastal city like Ningcheng, where the seasons are like spring all year round. Fengmian checked the historical high temperature records of Ningcheng, and the highest was only 41 degrees.
And now the temperature continues to rise. Just the day before yesterday, the latest measured temperature of ginger candy was 49 degrees.
"It's been too hot recently, but the clothes dry quickly." Jiang Tang opened the window and brought in the clothes that were hanging outside.
Feng Mian smelled a strange rancid smell coming from outside.
In the short time Jiang Tang opened the window to collect the clothes, the stench wafted into the house.
Feng Mian frowned, looking out from the open window, there was neither discarded garbage nor dead people and corpses outside, where did this strange rancid smell come from?
Ginger Tang pinched her nose and quickly closed the window: "What's the smell, this smells too bad."
"Yeah, this smell is too strong." Feng Mian adjusted the wind of the air conditioner to the maximum, and turned on the ventilation mode.
This strong rancid smell is like the smell of a pile of rotten meat that is fermented at high temperature.
And what worries Feng Mian the most is that this rancid smell is like the one from those corpses before.
When he was still living in the original old residential building, when those dead old people found their bodies, Feng Mian also smelled such a rancid smell.
