Chapter 491 The dual torture of the harsh sunlight and high temperature! (4600 words)
Xu Xin began to think deeply.
Just now, the sunlight shone on his hands, as if burning his skin.
This is not an exaggeration, but his true feelings.
Just grilled!
It felt as if he was going to get sunburned if he stayed in the sun for more than ten seconds!
This sunshine is really too harsh!
"You guys went out just now? Is it okay under such harsh sunlight?" Xu Xin asked.
"Yes, we have experienced the feeling of the current sunlight, so I think that the current situation is related to the sunlight." Ji Chaoyang explained.
At this time, Qi Xuefei's voice came from the other side of the voice: "The sunshine is very strange now. The temperature outside is actually not too high now, about forty degrees, which is much lower than yesterday at noon and afternoon. But even so, the damage caused by sunlight is too high.”
This is also Xu Xin's direct feeling just now.
"Sun damage?" Li Wenxi was a little confused, "What do you mean?"
"When the sun shines on the skin, there will be an extremely strong burning sensation." Ji Chaoyang continued, "Moreover, it will cause great damage to the skin. Xue Fei and I just came down from the tree house and walked to the teleportation array, exposing ourselves to Various degrees of sunburn appeared on my hands and face in the sun within a dozen seconds.”
"Ah? Is it so exaggerated?" Li Wenxi immediately walked to the window and stretched out her hand.
Then, her brows wrinkled slightly, and after about three or four seconds, she retracted her hand with an exclamation: "Oh my god, it's so hot!"
Then he blew twice on the back of his hand.
"Are you okay?" Xu Xin grabbed her hand and took a look, then was immediately startled.
The back of Li Wenxi's originally fair hand was slowly turning red.
"It's okay, it's okay." Li Wenxi took back her hand, blew it twice more, then rubbed her hand and said, "This sunshine is really poisonous!"
"It is indeed too poisonous." Qi Xuefei also lamented on the other side of the voice, "Just after we went out for a short while, Ji Chaoyang and I each took one pill."
...Real or false?
"Well... although it only lasted for more than ten seconds, it seemed like he had been exposed to the sun all day in the dog days of summer." Ji Chaoyang explained, "The exposed skin was severely sunburned. However, the parts wrapped in clothes were not affected. Hurt.”
Xu Xin was startled, and then her eyes lit up: "In other words, as long as we wrap ourselves up a little more tightly, we can still move outside?"
"...The premise is that you can bear the current temperature, wrapping yourself up to only a pair of eyes. Oh, by the way, don't let the sun shine on your eyes, let alone look directly at them, otherwise..."
Ji Chaoyang did not say any more, but sighed.
It seems he tried.
No wonder they used pills.
Eye injuries are different from skin injuries. The eyes and hands are equivalent to a high degree of disability.
"What is your random increase today?" Xu Xin suddenly asked.
"Random increase?" Ji Chaoyang was a little surprised as to why Xu Xin asked, "It's a strength increase. Why do you ask for this?"
"Today, I am tolerant of high temperatures."
"...high temperature resistance?"
Not only Ji Chaoyang on the other side of the voice was surprised, but also Li Wenxi next to him looked at him with wide eyes.
Xu Xin briefly talked about the role of high temperature tolerance, and then said: "I should be able to go out today."
"...The decoration level of your treehouse exceeds 1,000?" Ji Chaoyang immediately thought of the problem and said in surprise.
After all, those are the random increases before 1000. Since Xu Xin's has a new random increase, it means that the decoration level of his treehouse has exceeded the next limit.
"That's right, so I can move around now." Xu Xin said, "Plus I have a bracelet on my hand, so bringing people around won't be a problem."
In addition, Lou Fei'er and the others can endure the high temperature and can move freely outside as long as they are wrapped up tightly.
Just pay attention to your eyes.
Wear a sun hat?
Well, there is this kind of thing in the points mall, sold as ordinary clothes. I didn't expect it to be used now.
"Indeed." Ji Chaoyang affirmed, "Your increase comes at the right time. However, we don't have any need to go out now."
"What is your prediction?" Xu Xin asked.
"It's just a scene of sitting in my treehouse." Ji Chaoyang said helplessly, "Nothing happened outside the treehouse, and there wasn't much useful information."
Nothing will happen?
Do they just have to survive the heat and the sun?
Or is the danger unknown?
Anyway, going out now is really not a good choice.
"I will go to the treehouses of several other people to discuss the current situation." Xu Xin said.
There is really nothing else that can be done now.
After hanging up the call, Xu Xin saw that Li Wenxi was frowning and looking out the window in the direction of her tree house, with some worry in her eyes.
"What's wrong Wen Xi?"
"Well... Yajun should be in my treehouse now." Li Wenxi said worriedly, "Although my treehouse has a heavy crossbow that can automatically detect enemies and attack, Yajun was still a little uneasy and went back. I thought it wouldn’t be too hot anyway if I had blue saltpeter, so I let her go.”
"But now..."
She turned to look at Xu Xin: "You should have called me just now, right? Although my watch can't receive it, the tree house should be able to receive it, right?"
Xu Xin also frowned and immediately sent a voice call to Li Wenxi's tree house.
As a result, no one answered the call.
"Is there something wrong?" Li Wenxi was very worried, "Let's go over and have a look!"
"Okay."
Xu Xin immediately bought some gloves, masks, sunglasses and the like from the points mall and wrapped herself tightly.
"Do you want to come together?" he asked muffledly.
"Of course!"
Xu Xin put her in the bracelet and swung down from the tree house.
The sun has completely risen from the sky.
"Hiss——"
Xu Xin retracted her subconscious gaze towards the sun and closed her eyes tightly.
He felt a fierce burning sensation in his eyes!
Enduring the pain, he opened his eyes slightly, and his vision had become blurry, congested, and blood-red.
this……!
Even if he accidentally glanced at it, he was clearly wearing sunglasses!
Sunglasses are completely useless!
Blurred vision was a big problem. He had no choice but to close his eyes again, fumble for the pills from his backpack and take them to cure his eyes first.
...If you don’t have the pills, your eyes may be reimbursed for some time in the future.
Only now did he truly realize the horror of this sunshine.
It’s simply impossible to guard against!
The cost of trial and error is too high!
Moreover, the current survivors cannot contact the outside world, and those who already know the situation cannot inform others of the situation.
So, basically, everyone has to be injured to know the power of sunlight.
He, Ji Chaoyang, and Qi Xuefei were all seriously injured.
But...most other survivors don't have such powerful pills!
It's outrageous.
Xu Xin immediately went back to the tree house, woke up Niu Fugui who was still sleeping soundly, told him the current situation, and asked him to warn others not to die and look at the sun after getting up.
"Don't worry, Brother Xin!" Although Niu Fugui was also very surprised, he still patted his chest to show that he would leave it to him.
Coming out of the treehouse again, he no longer wasted time and ran directly to the coordinates with his head lowered. He activated the teleportation gate and stepped into it, teleporting directly to Li Wenxi's treehouse.
Then he immediately ran to the shadow under the tree house, making sure that the sun would not shine, and released Li Wenxi from the bracelet.
"What did you do? It's so slow!" Li Wenxi was so anxious inside the bracelet that she hit Xu Xin when she came out, and then fanned herself with her hand, "It's so hot!"
Of course it's hot outside. Even at a relatively low time of the day, it's still 45 or 6 degrees Celsius.
Seeing that Li Wenxi was also subconsciously looking towards the morning glow on the horizon, Xu Xin quickly reached out and pried her head open: "Don't look over there! I took a look with my sunglasses on and my eyes were burned."
"Ah?" Li Wenxi was startled and quickly looked into his eyes, "Are you okay?"
"It's okay, I took a pill." Xu Xin saw that her forehead had begun to sweat and said, "Let's go up quickly."
He couldn't control Li Wenxi's tree house, so he could only let her take him up.
"Oh ok!"
The roots stretched out and brought the two of them into the tree house.
The temperature inside the tree house is almost the same as outside the tree house, and it's just as hot.
"Eh? Why is it so hot in the house? Where is Yajun?" Li Wenxi panicked and called out, "Yajun! Are you there?"
As a result, no one responded.
"In your bedroom, right?" Xu Xin pointed to the closed bedroom door.
It is still difficult to maintain the temperature of the entire tree house with blue saltpeter, but it should not be a big problem for a small bedroom.
Li Wenxi immediately ran over and pushed the door open: "Yajun? Ah!"
Xu Xin also wanted to follow in, but Li Wenxi immediately shouted: "You are not allowed in!"
Then the door closed with a bang.
Um?
What's going on?
Ah, Li Yajun must be sleeping in there.
Huh?
That's not right.
After the door was pushed open just now, there seemed to be no cool air coming out from inside.
The temperature in the bedroom is basically the same as outside.
In the house, behind the closed door, Li Wenxi's voice also came: "Yajun? Yajun! Wake up!"
As a result, she screamed for a while, but Li Yajun didn't seem to wake up.
...?
"What's going on inside?" Xu Xin asked immediately.
"Yajun seems to be in a coma! Wait a moment!"
There was a rustling sound coming from inside, and after about ten seconds, Li Wenxi's voice came: "Come in."
Xu Xin pushed the door open and saw Li Yajun who was being helped by Li Wenxi to sit up.
The clothes she was wearing must have been changed by Li Wenxi just now.
Her face was flushed, she was sweating profusely, her brows were furrowed, and she obviously looked like she was suffering from heat stroke.
However, her complexion was also improving at a speed visible to the naked eye.
"I gave her some pills. She should be fine soon." Li Wenxi's tone became more relaxed, and then she said angrily, "What's wrong with Yajun? Didn't you use saltpeter to cool down?"
Xu Xin pointed to the other side of the bed and said, "She used it."
Beside the bedside is a basin of somewhat turbid water.
Moreover, the water still exudes blue light in Xu Xin's eyes.
He reached in and explored.
Sure enough, it was water in which blue grade saltpeter was dissolved.
Moreover, given the turbidity of the water, there may be more than just a piece of blue-grade saltpeter dissolved in it.
But even so, the temperature of this water is already the same as room temperature of forty-five or six degrees.
"This..." Li Wenxi was a little confused, "Then why..."
"Hmm..." Li Yajun, who was leaning on the head of the bed and leaning on Li Wenxi, snorted and slowly opened her eyes.
Her complexion has returned to normal, but her condition is still not very good.
Although the pills could cure her condition, they could not restore her mental state. Judging from the state she was in just now, she definitely didn't sleep well last night, so naturally she was a little depressed now.
"Ah...! Wen Xi? And Xu Xin, why are you here?" Li Yajun saw the two of them and immediately sat up from the bed. Then she thought of something and suddenly looked down at herself.
Seeing that she was wearing clothes, she breathed a sigh of relief, and then said with some confusion: "How could I..."
"I dressed you up so he can't see it." Li Wenxi explained casually, and then immediately asked a little fiercely, "What's the matter with you, Yajun! When we came here, you already had heatstroke." You fainted! If we didn’t come, you might not even be able to wake up!”
"Ah?" Li Yajun was startled, and then felt the sticky feeling of sweat all over his body, as well as the room temperature now as high as 45 degrees, "I...I obviously used blue-grade saltpeter, and I also used three times. Block, how..."
Really?
Seeing that Li Yajun didn't know the situation herself, Xu Xin confirmed her inner suspicion.
"Could it be..." Li Wenxi also vaguely guessed.
"It should be that the low temperature provided by the three pieces of blue-grade saltpeter is not enough to maintain it until now." Xu Xin picked up the water basin with three pieces of dissolved saltpeter and said, "While you were sleeping, the temperature did drop, but , the three pieces of saltpeter completely dissolved soon and no longer absorb heat. This tree house has no constant temperature capability, the temperature gradually rises, and you suffer from heatstroke in your sleep.”
As he spoke, he opened the window, then placed the basin with dissolved saltpeter on the window sill in the sunlight.
Under the fierce sunlight, the water in the basin made a sizzling sound, and then evaporated rapidly at a speed visible to the naked eye.
This speed is simply faster than using a high fire on the stove to collect the juice...
"Ah, is that so?" Li Yajun said in surprise, "Now that I think about it, I had a very uncomfortable sleep last night. I was half asleep and half awake, and it was very hot!"
"You, if we hadn't come here, you might have fallen asleep!" Li Wenxi was a little scared thinking about it, and patted her head.
"Ah... I'm sorry..." Li Yajun was embarrassed and a little guilty.
She originally wanted to come over to check on the house, but she didn't expect it to become a problem.
"Forget it, just be fine."
Xu Xin looked at the evaporating water in the basin and the blue-grade saltpeter powder that was precipitating, and narrowed his eyes slightly.
This is not the extent to which she is fine.
If you think about it carefully, this is simply... a big disaster!
Li Yajun can cool down with blue saltpeter, but what about the other survivors?
If other survivors suffered heatstroke in their sleep like her, would they still be able to wake up?
The treehouse they were staying in was so comfortable that he almost forgot about the plight of everyone else.
He thought that around forty degrees at night was considered a good temperature.
But now that I think about it...
Still very exaggerated.
You know, on earth, there is indeed a high temperature of 44 to 5 degrees Celsius.
But the highest temperature is in the afternoon.
The temperature at night can reach thirty-five degrees, which is already very high.
Therefore, on earth, even if there is no air conditioning, in that kind of high temperature weather, you can get through it by blowing on a fan.
But here, not only are there no fans, but the temperature is over forty degrees!
It can even exceed forty-five degrees at ten o'clock in the morning!
This...
This is indeed not a temperature that normal people can bear!
For other survivors, this is simply a catastrophe that is extremely life-threatening!
If I can’t wake up, I’m afraid I’ll never wake up again!
Xu Xin subconsciously wanted to open the watch to check the number of people, but there was no response after swiping it several times.
Only then did he realize that his watch was too far away from his tree house and had lost its function.
He wanted to let Li Wenxi take a look again, but as soon as he opened his mouth, he closed it again and shook his head helplessly.
...The regional channel is closed and can no longer be accessed.
I can't see the number of people now.
...Made.
Xu Xin cursed loudly in her heart.
This is so difficult!
He sighed.
There is no way, we can't help them now, they can only rely on themselves.
I hope not so many people will die during this intense heat wave.
Now, he can only think about what he should do next. ...Is there any way to artificially end this scorching heat like it was during the cold winter?
