The fire above the head burned for more than two hours. The heavy iron door was burned red, and the sizzling heat spread into the house. Four air conditioners and three generators were switched back and forth to barely keep running.

Ye Zhao and Nie Yun had already put on thick insulating clothing and did not dare to expose their skin to the air. Even if they exposed a little bit of skin, they could feel the pain of being burned on the fire.

Because of the excessively high temperature, neither Ye Zhao nor Nie Yun dared to eat. They only dared to take a quick sip of water when they couldn't bear it anymore.

Six or seven o'clock in the afternoon is when the temperature is the highest. The outdoor temperature has reached an extremely high temperature of 100 degrees. The ice picks released melt into water within a few minutes and then evaporate quickly.

In order to prevent the basement where they were from burning due to excessive temperature, Ye Zhao consumed the water stored in the space and four ice pick cards.

Even she is having such a hard time, as others can imagine.

Not far away, Shen Aimei was also hiding on the third basement floor with several girls. The flames burning upstairs made them cry in pain and despair.

Shen Aimei wetted the terry cloth strips and blocked the gaps in the doors on the three underground floors one by one. He also moved out unnecessary wooden furniture, curtains, and daily necessities. He just hoped that the fire upstairs would not spread to the underground.

At this moment, she was very lucky that those scum collected a lot of supplies, including food, medicine, water, and even an insulating suit.

At first, the situation was slightly balanced, until the fire upstairs spread to the second floor. The fear and pain made them focus on the insulating suit she was wearing...

Shen Aimei protected the insulating suit behind her, holding the kitchen knife and Elemental Card brand in her hand tightly. She hit the head of the first woman who rushed over with an ice pick, then she stabbed the knife into the woman's heart. She looked at the women and said, "Do you still want to grab it?"

The women looked at her in horror and shook their heads wildly.

On the same third underground floor, almost everyone in the glasses man group hid. Although they had made a lot of preparations, throwing away the wooden and flammable furniture, tearing down all the wallpaper, wrapping the villa and yard with insulation boards, covering each floor with mud, and sealing the door gaps with cement...

They all put on insulating suits and oxygen masks, and set up a room full of basins filled with water and ice cubes.

The air was filled with the hum of generators and air conditioners. A group of people raised their heads and looked nervously at the ceiling, listening to the sizzling sound of flames burning upstairs.

"Boom--boom!"

There was a huge explosion outside, and then there were explosions one after another, making the ground tremble.

"What exploded? Natural gas?

"The natural gas stopped early, maybe it was the car?"

People who don't have Storage Card can only hide their cars in underground garages. If the underground garage cannot be saved, the car that cannot stand the high temperature will only spontaneously ignite and explode...

"Hey, this world is really scary! Our basement won't collapse, right?"

"No way, we have sealed the door with so much cement, how can it be burned down?"

"Grass, the sun is so poisonous, can the animals and plants outside still survive? This world is over."

"It's so fucking hot. Is the sun going to explode?"

"I wonder what it's like inside Safe Base? It shouldn't be as hot over there as it is outside, right?"

"I heard that Safe Base has achieved a self-sufficient ecological cycle. Nothing outside will affect the inside. It is paradise inside!"

"Then when are we going to Safe Base? Staying outside is not an option. This is only the tenth day..."

The men squatted on one side and a few women gathered on the other side.

"Sister Lanlan, we won't die from the heat here, right?"

"Yeah, the temperature is getting higher and higher, are we really not going to be roasted to death here?!"

"No!" The white dress looked at the handsome man not far away, with a different kind of brilliance in her eyes. Her strong preference made her desperately hope that she could be held in the arms of such a powerful and handsome man, "I believe Brother Yu can definitely take me through the customs safely!"

Some villas have burned to the third floor underground, and the survivors hiding below screamed in pain. They wanted to run out, but had to give up because the fire outside was stronger and the temperature was higher. In the end, they could only die in the sea of fire; while the fire in some villas did not burn down, but they eventually suffocated because there was no oxygen...

Villa District, which was originally quite lively, had already died mostly in just one day.

Finally, I stayed up until seven o'clock in the evening, the sun set, and night fell.

Ye Zhao took off his thermal insulation suit and took out his mobile phone to check the Internet. Unfortunately, the Internet was finally disconnected.

After waiting for another hour, Ye Zhao and Nie Yun were ready to leave the basement and go to Safe Base. Nie Yun put all the supplies in the basement into Storage Card, including the air conditioner, generator, refrigerator, and even the dishes.

Ye Zhao also put on an apron for himself outside, put on a safety helmet and a mask. Now he only wears one piece of clothing. No one is willing to wash it with water, and even drinking it is not enough.

Handing Nie Yun a safety helmet, he took it and put it on with a silly smile, "Thank you Sister Zhao!"

The hot iron door was kicked open by Ye Zhao, and the choking ashes and gravel fell down. It took some effort for Ye Zhao and Nie Yun to climb out of the ruins. The once beautiful and exquisite three-story villa was only left with a dark, scorched earth. Looking around, the ground was covered with scorched earth, and almost no complete building could be seen.

The power of nature is irresistible to humans.

Many people who survived crawled out from the ground and looked at the desolation all over the ground. When the hot wind blew, ashes filled the sky.

Some people cry in despair, while others are happy that they have escaped another disaster.

Shen Aimei also crawled out from the ground. She looked at the charred ashes all over the ground, her eyes filled with sadness and pain. "Rest in peace."

She put on her backpack, and there was not much food left in the backpack. The high temperature caused most of the cans to deteriorate, the meat and biscuits became indestructible, and all the mineral water evaporated. Fortunately, she still had a few useful cards, which gave her the capital to survive.

But I can't stay here any longer.

She blackened her cheeks, hands and body with ashes, and resolutely embarked on the road to Safe Base.

I couldn't help but think, it would be great if I could meet her.

The man with glasses, Zhao Yu and others also crawled out from the ground. This time, the high temperature still killed several Constitution and Player that were too low. This also made them more sure that they could not stay here. The temperature in the next few days would only be higher, and it would be impossible to survive outside.

The group simply distributed bread and water and prepared to go to Safe Base.

"Sister Zhao, here, let's have something to eat first!"

It was so hot during the day that they had no intention of eating and were all drinking water.

Nie Yun took out two oversized lunch boxes. Inside were the cold noodles he had prepared. The sauce had already been mixed and a lot of shredded cucumbers, radish and bean sprouts were cut into them. All he had to do was pour the sauce on top and mix well. It was very convenient to eat, and the weather was perfect for eating cold noodles.

Fortunately, although Storage Card does not keep fresh, it is not affected by external high temperatures, so even though it has been stored for a whole day, it is not broken yet.

It's just that the dust here is a bit heavy, so the two of them each held a lunch box and ate while walking. Ye Zhao also reminded, "Be careful, there are a lot of dug mud holes on the ground."

When she went out to work a few nights ago, she didn't pay much attention to her steps. She almost fell into a pit several times, but this was the time. She couldn't say that she was unethical.

"Ah!" Unexpectedly, as soon as she finished speaking, Nie Yun screamed and fell into the mud puddle beside him. Fortunately, he reacted in time and raised his hands high to save his lunch box.

Ye Zhao:"..."

She craned her neck and took a look. "Are you okay? Can you come out by yourself?"

Nie Yun: "... it's okay qaq."

He covered the lunch box, touched his coccyx, which hurt from the fall, and finally climbed out of the mud pit with great effort.

It was already hot, but now he was tired, hot and in pain. He was panting. When he looked at the palms of his hands, they were actually very hot. He didn't pay attention when he came out just now. He directly touched the hot ground with his hands and got a few big blisters.

Nie Yun:... He is so miserable.

He looked up and saw Sister Zhao holding a paper sign and writing something on it, then inserted it into the gap in the ground.

[There is a pit next to it, so be careful where you step.]

Nie Yunwuwu, he Sister Zhao is really a very good person!
