Chapter 174: Heat Stroke

Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

“It’s hard to say. The formation of a plague is very complicated, but 1 also think that it’s not impossible.”

Lin Sijia was a little hesitant. Logically speaking, there would not be a plague imdiately. However, this world was a little too absurd now, so she really could not say for sure.

However, unlike what Ye Xingchen thought, before the plague arrived, the first thing that appeared was actually heatstroke.

Heatstroke refers to the imbalance of body temperature regulation caused by high temperatures. The excessive accumulation of heat in the body causes damage to the nervous system. In the classification of heatstroke, it was severe heatstroke.

Even though every household had turned its air-conditioning to the highest, people still could not withstand the scorching heat.

It was because of the extrely high temperature that many air-conditioning units stopped working.

In such hot weather, it was very easy to develop heatstroke once the cold air was removed.

The hospital was closed for a long ti. Many people who had survived the extre cold did not survive the heat.

“The officials are finally doing sothing.”

Ye Xingchen looked at the latest news. It said that the governnt had organized staff to use drones to airdrop heatstroke dicine to various major communities, and that the communities should send people to collect and distribute it.

Ye Xingchen raised his head and looked around at his place that was filled with laughter. He couldn’t help but sigh.

The last wave of extre cold had almost eliminated the elderly and the young. Now, under the extre heat, the people who were eliminated were those who were not so physically fit.

Ye Xingchen thought that if he had not found such a good place, he might have been troubled by the extre heat now.

After all, being locked in a small space for a long ti without being able to go out and lacking communication with the outside world would easily cause psychological problems over ti.

Fortunately, Ye Xingchen found such a good place to stay before the weather changed.

It was a good place to live, and there was a large group of trustworthy underlings around him. Ye Xingchen got up and poured a glass of fresh pineapple juice that had just been frozen.

Everyone was also very grateful to Ye Xingchen. Although they had already moved in, they still paid attention to the outside world every day. They knew that the outside world was like a big furnace. Once they went out, they might be roasted alive. It was precisely because of this that they were even more grateful to Ye Xingchen for giving them a chance to move in.

Lin Sijia had beco the busiest one.

Other than Lin Sijia, there were two other people who studied dicine among the people who were recruited later. However, they had just graduated and had not even started their internship in the hospital before they encountered this extre weather that was like the apocalypse.

With the addition of these two people, Lin Sijia felt a lot more relaxed. However, among so many people, only she had practical experience, so now Lin Sijia was the main one, and the other two people were assisting Lin Sijia to formulate the epidemic prevention dicine.

The governnt was also seriously under-employed. The temperature outside had reached a frightening 62 degrees Celsius, and more than half of the officials had already collapsed.

Just today, Ye Xingchen received the news of the official recruitnt early in the morning.

The salary was not high, but it was considered very high now.

The batch of cold-proof potatoes had not been harvested in ti. Ye Xingchen had only heard about it later. It was said that the weather had changed too quickly and suddenly, causing the production of the batch of cold-proof potatoes to be reduced by nearly two-thirds. Fortunately, there was still so output.

The salary given by the officials was ten catties of cold-proof potatoes a month.

If this was before, ten catties of potatoes would be sothing that everyone could afford and ignored, but now, those who signed up were like drowning people who had grabbed onto their last life-saving straw and sward over.

Ye Xingchen had already seen dozens of people dying from heatstroke due to queuing up to apply for official positions. However, even so, it did not dampen the enthusiasm of the people who signed up.

After all, even if they stayed at ho and didn’t co out to register, they would starve to death sooner or later. This was because the food that could be taken from the streets and cities had basically been moved away and divided up by everyone.

Even the slightly better corpses had been quietly transported away.

As for the remaining ones, they were too rotten. Even those who were extrely hungry could not eat them.

Zhao Hao had a lot of friends. Most of them were people he t when he was a soldier or when he was a bodyguard or a security guard. He also had a lot of relatives. Therefore, when Zhao Hao told Ye Xingchen about these things, Ye Xingchen was still a little surprised.

Ye Xingchen was surprised that the officials had taken action very quickly this ti. They had just developed cold-resistant potatoes not long ago, and he heard that they had already begun to develop heat-resistant potatoes.

Moreover, Zhao Hao said that his friends who worked in the governnt had sent word that the governnt seed to have begun to prepare anti-epidemic drugs, disinfectant, and other things.

The officials were currently recruiting in large numbers because they were also in dire need of manpower. The number of people who died from heatstroke was no less than the number of people who died from freezing to death in the extre cold. This was especially true for the officials. Even if they did not die from heatstroke, many of them had collapsed from heatstroke.

The corpses in the city needed to be cleaned up. For the first ti since his previous life, Ye Xingchen praised the governnt’s actions.

The governnt was not stupid. They knew that once the weather ward up, a large number of viruses and bacteria would escape, so they had already begun to develop and formulate anti-epidemic drugs.

On Ye Xingchen’s side, in addition to getting Lin Sijia to concoct the epidemic prevention dicine, he also specially instructed people not to leave the safety fortress for the ti being. Ye Xingchen even got people to sprinkle all kinds of chemical powder in every corner of the safety fortress in advance.

Those were all chemical powders that could control snakes, insects, rats, and ants.

Although Ye Xingchen didn’t know what would happen in the future, he had a thought.

Since humans would mutate in such extre weather, perhaps insects and all kinds of small animals would also mutate?

He wasn’t sure, but he had to be on guard. After all, ever since the extre heat ca, Little Black, which he brought back, had beco abnormally irritable. From ti to ti, it would bare its teeth at the door.

Ever since Ye Xingchen picked up Mo Qi, Little Black had been given to Mo Qi to raise. Coincidentally, Mo Qi liked small animals very much, so Little Black did not reject Mo Qi.

This caused Ye Xingchen to often forget that he had brought back a dog.

If Mo Qi hadn’t brought out Little Black for her first al in the safety fortress, Ye Xingchen might not have rembered that he had a dog..
