PNB Chapter 193 is practically a boiler room.
Chapter 193 is practically a boiler room.
Seeing his wife whispering to another man, Shen Zechuan immediately moved closer, creating distance between Zhou Yang and Chi Feng.
"What are you talking about?"
"Oh, I mean the rain outside."
Is there something wrong with this rain?
"The timing isn't right, and the temperature isn't right either. I'm not entirely sure yet, but better safe than sorry, let's wait here for a bit."
Upon hearing this, Shen Zechuan didn't take it seriously, simply nodded, and then pulled the person into his arms and nuzzled against him.
Later, Zhou Yang complained about the heat and pushed him away, which made Shen Zechuan feel very wronged.
As the outside temperature continued to rise, the underground parking garage also became quite stuffy.
The rain kept falling and seemed to be getting heavier, soon turning into a downpour, and as it poured down, it also created a mist.
If Zhou Yang hadn't experienced it firsthand, he probably would have thought it was just because there was too much dust outside.
Having experienced his past life, Zhou Yang could easily tell that this was not dust stirred up by the rain, but water vapor rising due to the high temperature.
The rain outside was practically boiling water.
Only a few minutes had passed since they stopped to take shelter from the rain, and now it had turned into a downpour.
Zhou Yang felt a chill run down his spine at the thought of it.
If he had held onto a sliver of hope just now, they would probably be boiled into little red shrimp by now...
Thinking about it, Zhou Yang couldn't help but gasp.
Hearing Zhou Yang gasp for breath, Shen Zechuan looked over with concern: "What's wrong? Are you feeling unwell?"
"I don't feel unwell," Zhou Yang shook his head. "I'm just a little scared. Look at the rain outside, doesn't it look like the sky is pouring boiling water?"
"Ok?"
Upon hearing this, Shen Zechuan turned to look outside.
The others also looked toward the exit.
Outside, the air was thick with fog, a vast expanse of white. If it weren't for the sound of rain, people might have thought it was just fog.
Add to that the suffocating heat right now, and it feels like a boiler room outside, with water boiling right now.
Seeing this, everyone frowned.
"Hey, you know what, it really does look like someone is pouring boiling water from the sky." Shen Zechuan chuckled after reading it, but then his laughter died down.
Because he saw with his own eyes a mutated bird trying to fly in to take shelter from the rain, but it fell to the ground and cried out after only a few flights, its voice sounding as if it had suffered great hardship.
The others also witnessed this scene and were all taken aback.
Yu Hui's eyes widened as he watched the bird flutter motionless: "Why isn't this mutated bird moving? It died just from getting rained on?"
"It was probably burned..." Chi Feng said quietly.
Yu Hui looked over in disbelief: "What? Scalding hot? Is this rain really boiling water? You're not kidding, are you?"
Chi Feng raised an eyebrow: "Then why don't you give it a try? Nobody's stopping you."
Yu Hui opened his mouth, then looked at the mutated bird outside, which was now completely silent, and chose to remain still.
Sigh, based on experience since the end times, we must heed the boss's warnings; otherwise, we'll definitely die.
His petty, low-class curiosity is better off gone.
Seeing Yu Hui cower in fear, Jiang Yuanshan chuckled to himself, ultimately earning a whack from his good brother.
Yan Fei looked at the boiling water outside, his brows furrowed with worry. Because of the events of last night, the Baijishan base had already moved into underground shelters, so there was no need to worry.
However, the situation at the capital base may not be so fortunate. This heatwave and torrential rain came unexpectedly and without warning, and could very well result in heavy casualties in the capital.
Seeing Yan Fei's worry, Shen Zechuan patted him on the shoulder: "Don't worry, once the rain stops, we'll hurry back to the base. Bai Jishan has basically been moved underground, so they should all be fine. As for the capital, we'll have Uncle Gu contact them later to ask about the situation there."
Yan Fei nodded silently.
……
The rain lasted for a full six hours before stopping around noon.
As soon as the rain stopped, Zhou Yang and the others immediately went to check the garage exit, but they still couldn't get out.
There's nothing else to it, it's just too hot outside. Although the rain has stopped, the direct sunlight is even stronger.
The rain that had fallen earlier turned into even hotter steam, far exceeding the boiling water of the previous rain.
The mutated bird not far away had been soaked in the high temperature and boiling rain for 6 hours. At this moment, its skin and flesh had separated, and even its feathers were spilled all over the ground.
Zhou Yang tried taking a pork knuckle out into the sun to dry, and the skin instantly turned red, leaving everyone stunned.
With no other option, the group had to retreat and wait for nightfall before heading back.
In the afternoon, the temperature rose even higher, and even breathing felt like a burning sensation.
Zhou Yang took out a thermometer and checked the temperature. The temperature in the underground parking garage had reached over 50 degrees Celsius, so it must be at least 60 degrees Celsius outside.
Not to mention the straw mat underneath, even the cardboard beneath it was soaked with the sweat from the people who had been sweating.
Seeing this, Zhou Yang quickly took out the snow he had previously stored in his spatial storage and piled it on the cement ground next to him, which finally made things a little easier for the group.
Pea and the husky even pounced on the snowdrift and rolled around, thoroughly enjoying themselves.
I felt better and finally had a bit of an appetite.
Since making it fresh was impossible, Zhou Yang simply took out a scallion pancake from his spatial storage, and with a bottle of water for each person, the meal was solved.
However, Chi Feng and his two companions were given ordinary mineral water, while Zhou Yang and his two companions drank spring water that Zhou Yang had bottled himself, even though the packaging was the same.
Peas, yellow peas, and even the husky were fed some mutated yellow beef mixed with rice.
After we had eaten and drunk our fill, there were still more than three hours until sunset.
Before the snow had completely melted, Zhou Yang and the others lay down on the straw mats to rest and wait for nightfall.
Zhou Yang also fell asleep without realizing it, after all, he hadn't rested since last night.
When she opened her eyes again, it was already dark outside. Her clothes were soaked with sweat without her even realizing it, but Zhou Yang didn't care about that at the moment.
Because he discovered that not only was it pitch black, but it was also completely silent, without a single sound.
Thinking of this, Zhou Yang immediately sat up with a jolt.
As soon as he moved, Pea beside him immediately opened her eyes and came over, rubbing against Zhou Yang's leg.
Feeling Pea beside him and stroking Pea's head, Zhou Yang finally calmed down.
I took out my flashlight and shone it to the side, and saw the two yellow dogs and the husky that had also been left behind, as well as Yu Hui, who was still lying in a dream on the other side.
As for the other people, Zhou Yang did not see them.
After a moment's thought, Zhou Yang realized that the others must have gone to the garage entrance to scout out the situation, so he got up and left the mat, heading towards the exit.
They had only gone halfway when they encountered Shen Zechuan and his three companions who were walking back.
