It’s a real popcorn and it’s still emitting a warm aroma. If it’s coated with syrup, what’s the difference from the ones sold in cinemas?

Because of a couple of idiots, Jiang Ning and Zheng Weili couldn’t help but laugh.

When hearing the radio broadcast from the city government reminding residents not to go out these days. When encountering the epidemic prevention personnel for disinfection, residents on lower floors should remember to close doors and windows.

While promoting hygiene and civility, they also reminded people to pay attention to the prevention of the four pests as well as methods for treating heatstroke.

It’s only been a few days, and the temperature has reached for more than 40 degrees, how can people survive?

If it were just heat, it would be manageable, but humidity accompanies the heat.

The whole city is immersed in water, and the scorching sun boils the water. The buildings are like steamers, and the survivors are like buns in the steamer, sooner or later they’ll all be steamed.

As the weather gets hotter, people’s tempers rise too. They feel like they’ve swallowed gunpowder and want to pick fights or argue for no reason.

Compared with extreme cold, extreme heat makes people feel more desperate.

You can add clothes for extreme cold, but there’s nothing to take off for extreme heat.

I heard that an elderly person in the community who survived the extreme cold but got a heatstroke and passed away yesterday.

Jiang Ning scooped some popcorn and offered it to Doudou and Coke.

Doudou was also hot, but with the air conditioner blowing ice-cold air and drinking frozen milk tea, her mood was particularly comfortable.

While eating, she shared it with the dog.

Around two in the afternoon, Jiang Ning started sweating.

Wow, this is the benefit of living on the top floor, the indoor temperature reaches 45 degrees.

The eternal love at 25 degrees has failed.

Jiang Ning suspected that 45 degrees should be the upper limit of the constant thermoregulatory clothing, exceeding this temperature would render it ineffective.

However, wearing it still had some effect.

With the constant temperature clothing, the temperature she felt should be around 30 degrees, a difference of about 15 degrees from the actual temperature.

In other words, if the temperature continues to rise, even wearing constant temperature clothing would become increasingly hot.

Extreme cold is the same, she almost turned into an ice stick later on.

The temperature on the top floor during extreme heat is at least five or six degrees higher than the lower floors. Even she couldn’t bear it, let alone the other members on the 18th floor.

Don’t underestimate the difference of five or six degrees, at the critical point of the human body, even a difference of one degree can take a person’s life.

Jiang Ning thought for a moment and then flashed into the space.

She brought out two pieces of cloth, one was for constant temperature and the other was ordinary.

The ordinary cloth could be used as curtains, hung on the balcony to block the sunlight and heat, and the rest would be used for practice.

After all, constant temperature fabric was limited and not renewable.

Jiang Ning took out a portable multifunctional electric mini sewing machine and started fiddling with the instructions.

It was quite finicky, the size of the shirt or pants cut was only the size of a palm.

After wasting seven or eight pieces, she finally figured out the trick and became proficient.

Jiang Ning decided to make a set of constant thermoregulatory clothing for everyone, no more, no less.

Make the size bigger, all long-sleeved shirts and pants, similar to sun protection clothing, and with hats attached.

Huo Yishen came over to help her install the curtains, seeing her busy and happy, “Why are you making clothes?”

Jiang Ning didn’t even lift her head, “It’s a secret.”

Installing curtains on the balcony requires assistance, and she called Huo Yishen over to help.

At that moment, the sun was about to set, and the quiet community echoed with the sound of engines.

A motorboat entered the community, manned by personnel wearing defense suits. They not only retrieved the bodies and garbage but also sprayed epidemic prevention powder and insecticides.

Speaking of which, the smell was really unpleasant, so she quickly closed the doors and windows.

However, the workers were really hardworking, wearing airtight protective clothing on such hot days and doing high-risk work.

None of this happened in her past life, but now it appeared so timely, indicating that they had made sufficient preparations in advance.”

“It can be seen that the municipal government is not unwilling to act, but natural disasters are unpredictable. The relevant departments are like headless flies, no matter how hard they try, it’s futile; they can only chase after the natural disasters.

Their actions will save countless lives.

At nightfall, Mrs. Zhong went to the rooftop to fetch some water and handed Jiang Ning a bunch of withered and yellowed sweet potato seedlings.

“These are high-temperature-resistant sweet potato seedlings developed by the Guangzhou Agricultural Science Institute. There aren’t enough sweet potatoes to distribute, so we can only grow the seedlings. Many cities are waiting. Phoenix City didn’t get much, and it’s mainly distributed to institutional units for seedling cultivation trials. It’ll probably be a while before they are widely distributed.”

She quit her job without benefits. This is what Zhong Ping and his son got. Grandma Zhong made the decision to allocate half on the 18th floor.

Afraid that the young people would waste it, Grandma Zhong specifically instructed, “Don’t pour out the water used for washing faces and vegetables. You can use it to water the sweet potato seedlings when rinsing your mouth, don’t waste clean water.”

Jiang Ning thanked her, “Why haven’t I seen Grandma Zhong in the past couple of days?”

Mrs. Zhong looked worried, “The weather is too hot, her body can’t take it, she’s resting at home and did not dare to go out.”

Since the natural disaster, the Zhong family has stood the test.

Jiang Ning went to the 17th floor and found Grandma Zhong with no major health problems, but she’s showing signs of heatstroke.

She gave her two bottles of Huoxiang Zhengqi water and a little honeysuckle, both used to relieve heat.

Medicine is precious. Grandma Zhong didn’t take things for nothing; she instructed her daughter-in-law to exchange things.

Jiang Ning declined, “As payment for the sweet potato seedlings.”

After saying that, she quickly left.

After two days of busy work, she finally finished making five sets of clothes, with the fabric chosen in silver-gray.

Huo Yishen was tall and long and consumed the most fabric.

Next was Zheng Weili, who was not only strong but also tall.

Doudou was doing homework, and Jiang Ning waved for her to come over and try.

Children grow fast, so it’s not possible to make a set of clothes that will last for a year; the sizes had to be enlarged.

So, the pant dragged on the floor.

Uh, let’s pull up the pants and then roll them up.

When she first put them on, Doudou didn’t feel much, but after a while, she exclaimed in surprise, “Sister, it feels so cool.”

Compared to the damp and stuffy heat, it’s indeed much cooler.

Under her brother’s guidance, Doudou wouldn’t easily express her curiosity.

She didn’t have a hundred thousand whys, but still couldn’t resist showing off to the dog, “Coke, Sister made me new clothes.”

The dog grinned, thinking that the poop scooper had already made two sets for it!

Children are easy to coax, but adults still need explanations.

Huo Yishen’s outfit fit him quite well, and when he wore it, it looked like casual clothes and gives off a relaxed vibe.

Feeling in a good mood, he hugged her while Coke wasn’t paying attention and said, “Anning, thank you.”

Apart from his parents, whether it was in this life or the last, Jiang Ning was the first person to care for him like this.

He didn’t ask anything, but since they were together, she still explained, “I found them last time when I went to the office building. I thought it was just a gimmick for publicity, who would’ve thought it could really maintain a constant temperature.”

Wearing constant temperature clothing and using fans to cool down, it’s still possible to endure.

In her past life, the highest recorded temperature was 59 degrees, whether there were any variables this time remains to be seen.

The walkie-talkie rang, even with the fan to save their lives, 1803 was still wailing, “Anning, Brother Shen, it’s too hot on the top floor, should we move downstairs?”

Moving was impossible. The uninhabited houses had been searched through many times, the doors and windows were broken, and the balconies were not sealed. How could they prevent cockroaches, rats, and such?

By then, they might not have been killed by the heat, but bitten to death by the rats.

Moreover, the 18th floor had rich supplies. Moving would expose everything, wouldn’t it?”
