PNB Chapter 191 The Extreme Heat Has Arrived
Chapter 191 The Extreme Heat Has Arrived
By this time, the sky was already showing signs of light, and there wasn't much time left until sunrise.
After Pea finished drinking a basin of spring water and was full of energy again, and Husky also caught his breath, the group quickly headed down.
The office building wasn't tall, but it had about ten floors. Fortunately, going downstairs was easy, and the group reached the lobby on the first floor in about ten minutes.
The sun had already peeked out, and the outside was much brighter.
The group grabbed their weapons and went outside the building.
As soon as they stepped outside, the zombies around them, drawn by the scent of living people, gathered around.
Shen Zechuan and the others grabbed their weapons and charged forward.
While the others were fighting the zombies, Zhou Yang quickly took out the two cars he had brought out earlier.
After dealing with most of the zombies, the group got into the car and left.
Pea still runs alongside the car with the husky as usual.
By the time we were almost out of the city center, it was already broad daylight.
A bright sun hung in the east. Although it had only just risen, Zhou Yang had a faint feeling that the temperature around him was rising. Suddenly, alarm bells rang in his mind, and he immediately stopped the car.
"Stop! This sun isn't right. Let's switch to the pea-walking method!"
Upon hearing this, Shen Zechuan immediately stopped the car, exchanged a glance with Yan Fei in the back seat, did not refute, and got out of the car.
After getting out of the car, Zhou Yang immediately put away the car and took out a specially made large dog saddle, then made Pea grow bigger.
On the other side, Chi Feng and his group's car, which was following behind, also stopped when they saw this.
"Why did you stop so suddenly? What happened?"
"Don't you think the sun is a bit off? It's not even 5 o'clock yet, and the temperature is rising a little too fast! Let's switch to peas and try to get back as soon as possible!"
"Huh? Really? I think it's alright." Chi Feng frowned after hearing this. Perhaps because of his high level and the fact that he has plant-based superpowers, he has a certain resistance to both high and low temperatures, so his sensitivity to temperature is not as great as Zhou Yang's, an ordinary person.
But as a fellow reborn person, Chi Feng didn't think Zhou Yang was exaggerating.
Moreover, because he had lived in the apocalypse for so long, he could no longer remember exactly when the extreme heat arrived. He only vaguely remembered that a deadly rain fell on the day the extreme heat came, so he was more willing to trust Zhou Yang's intuition at this moment.
"Then let's just change it."
Chi Feng then wanted to make the husky grow bigger, but Zhou Yang asked, "Can your husky shrink? If so, make it smaller, and we can just turn them all into peas and take them back. Peas are faster!"
"can."
Although he had some doubts about whether it was really that urgent, and that even a little bit of delay wouldn't be acceptable, Chi Feng nodded and then turned the husky into a mini puppy, stuffing it into Yu Hui's backpack.
Chi Feng and his two companions followed Zhou Yang and his group, climbing onto Pea's back. Just as they settled into the large dog saddle, before Chi Feng could even curiously examine it, they heard Zhou Yang shout:
"Everyone hold on tight to the railing. Kids, we need to get home as quickly as possible, hurry back!"
"Wang!"
Upon hearing this, Pea immediately responded and, without even needing a running start, dashed off as soon as she stood up.
Moreover, it was so excited when it heard its owner tell it to speed up and go back that it immediately picked up speed as soon as it started moving.
Because of their experience, Zhou Yang and the other two quickly grabbed the railing and lowered their bodies as soon as Wandou got up, trying their best not to be blown by the wind.
Chi Feng and the other two had only ever ridden as huskies and had never experienced the speed of a pea, let alone the feeling of having their faces scraped by the wind like they were being peeled. So at first, they just held onto the handrails loosely and even wanted to laugh at Zhou Yang and the other two's actions.
But as soon as Pea started running, the three of them stopped laughing and began to question their existence. Damn, that speed must be twice as fast as their husky at full speed!
They barely managed to avoid being thrown off by holding onto the handrails at both ends. Their faces, which were originally exposed to the wind, were stinging from the wind, and they felt like their whole bodies were about to crack open.
Now I finally understand why Zhou Yang and the others were all crouching low, close to the dog saddle.
At this speed, who could withstand it while sitting upright?
While gripping the handrail, Chi Feng released vines to tightly wrap himself and Yu Hui around the dog saddle. Using the strength of the vines, he helped them lie down against the wind, finally feeling that his face was finally his own.
It's just that I was a little numb from being blown around by the wind before, and I still don't feel much.
As the sun rises higher, the surrounding temperature begins to rise sharply.
Even though the peas ran extremely fast and the wind was so strong that they couldn't straighten their backs, because they were facing away from the sun, Zhou Yang and the others were directly exposed to the sun.
Zhou Yang felt his back getting hot from the sun and his forehead starting to sweat, and he became increasingly anxious.
The sun today is really unusual. It had only been out for about ten minutes when it climbed to the middle of the sky and the sky was already bright. The temperature was also almost as high as around 10 a.m.
If we wait until the hottest time of day, the temperature will be off the charts!
It seems the extreme heatwave has arrived today, though I don't recall it coming this early in my past life...
Zhou Yang cursed inwardly, wanting Pea to hurry up, but his mouth was full of wind and he couldn't speak. He could only silently pray that Pea could get back to the base before the sun fully rose.
On the day of extreme heat in my past life, when the sun was halfway up the sky, it started to rain.
At first, the rainwater was only warm, and everyone was happily playing in it. Some men even took a hot bath outdoors.
But as the sun rose, the rain turned into a real sun shower, and it showed no signs of stopping.
The rain, aided by the sun, grew hotter and hotter. By noon, when it was at its hottest, it was like boiling water, enough to scald a person until their skin was torn and bleeding.
Back at the base, most of the people had already moved to underground shelters, so he wasn't worried.
He's worried about themselves now.
At this rate of sunrise, if they can't get back to base in time, they'll be the ones with their skin torn and bleeding.
Well, if all else fails, they should just find cover along the way and go back.
That boiling water rain is really not to be trifled with.
But what I feared most came to pass.
Just as Zhou Yang was worried that it would rain, she felt something warm hit her face.
Looking up, he saw that not only him, but everyone else had also been hit squarely.
What rained down on them were raindrops the size of beans.
Damn it! Zhou Yang just wanted to curse the heavens right now, how could they not even wait a little while longer!
