July's weather grew hotter and hotter, and Nagaril's temperature had already exceeded thirty-five degrees.
This year, the heat had arrived early. Nagaril's summer was like the Federation's winter. Unless necessary, everyone did their best to stay indoors.
Slightly darker skin was extremely good at absorbing heat. In Nagaril, if you went outside without taking proper precautions, you would basically get burned! Burned by the sunlight! This wasn't an exaggeration—it really happened!
Anyone who had never been burned could never imagine that kind of pain. Layer after layer of skin peeled away, exposing pink flesh. The slightest touch or brush against anything caused a tearing pain! So unless necessary, nobody went outside. Even when they did, they dressed completely and put on a hat.
It was obviously scorching, yet everyone dressed so thoroughly. It wasn't because there was something wrong with their heads; they simply didn't want to get hurt!
Slem, however, was an exception! The free public pools in many of the city's parks had all opened. When designing the entire city, Lin Qi had demanded that there be enough facilities for cooling down.
Every so often, there was an open swimming pool where people could rest in the shade, cool off, or even take a swim.
Although the pools were free, anyone who wanted to swim had to wash themselves first.
They couldn't exactly let clean water turn into filthy water in no time, could they? It was troublesome, but plenty of people still liked the arrangement.
Walk two or three hundred meters, and there would be somewhere to stand under a shower or soak in cool water for a while. It was simply too cool!
That was why there were still plenty of people on Slem's streets.
