Chapter 11

"Beauty, let me charge the battery." The middle-aged man raised the fan cap in his hand. Knowing that the weather here is hot, his wife bought two fan caps online before departure. She also bought a solar charger together. It was so precious, but he forgot to bring it with him, and he felt upset when he thought about it.

Qiao Xi recognized this voice as the one who had previously scolded her for being short-minded and flatly refused. She is a very grudge-y person, and she remembers it well. Ma Meiying was the first person in the room to show kindness to her, and the second was Ding Lanyue.

She turned to Ding Lanyue and asked: "There is also a USB socket, do you want to use it?" The sun outside was strong, and it was more than enough to power a small electrical appliance.

Ding Lanyue was overjoyed. Her mobile phone had run out of battery a long time ago. For someone who never leaves her phone, this was even more difficult than the intense heat.

Under the envious eyes of everyone, she happily ran out and plugged in the data cable. After a while, she found that the charging speed was quite fast. She sighed: "The strong sun is also good. Looking at the progress, it can be fully charged in less than two hours."

Qiao Xi said to Liu Yifeng: "You can take turns charging."

"When you have all finished charging, let us also charge. The sun won't set until at least six o'clock, and there are still ten hours." The middle-aged man did not give up, and even encouraged others to build momentum, "Everyone, let's go out. Outside, we are all compatriots, helping each other."

Who doesn't want to recharge, so several people agreed.

Qiao Xi said lightly: "It takes about two hours to charge a mobile phone. We have at least six mobile phones here, which is twelve hours. It takes three to four hours to fully charge a power bank, and it takes four or five hours to charge a small electric fan. It takes about two hours to fully charge, so I have to flush it when it is finished, and I have to use it after flushing it, so I'm a little nervous if I calculate it carefully."

Ma Meiying immediately added: "That's right, if it's enough, it's okay, but isn't it not enough?"

Ding Lanyue and the four others who were included in our scope also agreed. This is a matter of personal interest. With a mobile phone, even if you can't access the Internet, you can at least look here and there. At least you don't have to live like a year again.

The middle-aged man was dissatisfied: "I can't go online, so I can't charge my phone. Isn't this a waste of electricity?"

Qiao Xi smiled half-heartedly: "My cell phone can kill time. I'm not careless. Why should I have to make things easier for others?"

The middle-aged man choked immediately, knowing that he had offended someone with his rude words before.

His wife pulled him and signaled him to forget it. It was an unreasonable matter. Besides, the young girl opposite was not easy to mess with. She could hit seven of them. Don't make her angry and get beaten.

The rest of the people were too embarrassed to bother with this. They just wanted to charge their phones, and only a few of them had small fans.

Ding Lanyue gave Qiao Xi a thumbs up. If it were her, she would be embarrassed to refuse. But not only did they refuse, they also refused in a tit-for-tat mocking manner.

The day went by while sorting out space supplies. Qiao Xi discovered a lot of good things that he had not seen clearly in his hurry at the time. He quickly took out his mobile phone to record them so that he could have an idea.

In the evening, Qiao Xi went up to the top floor to observe again. When Jiguantou and others saw her, they subconsciously shrank back into the crowd.

The street conditions are obviously better than yesterday. According to this progress, the road will be open again in two or three days. According to common sense, the hotel management will definitely arrange transfers immediately. More and more people are falling down from heat stroke, including many foreign tourists. When foreign tourists have an accident under their noses, it means trouble. Of course, the hotel management wants to return the hot potato to the embassies of various countries as soon as possible.

The temperature was obviously getting hotter day by day. The hotel management didn't put out a thermometer because they were afraid of scaring people. Qiao Xi has a thermometer, but it's hard to take it out. She's already conspicuous enough. If she has everything, she'll be like Doraemon. I had no choice but to endure the stench and take the temperature in the toilet, which was 44.4°C, a quite unlucky number.

After several days of high temperatures and lack of water, coupled with mental stress, many people fell down from heat stroke every day, and several elderly people with poor health died.

This life is given by air conditioning. It is no longer a joke. Without air conditioning, many people will lose their lives.

Ma Meiying's granddaughter Tiantian's heat stroke worsened. The things Qiao Xi gave her can make her feel more comfortable, but they cannot cure her. She needs complete treatment and a cool environment. There is nothing in this room, only high temperature and stuffy heat.

Ding Lanyue and Liu Yifeng accompanied their grandfather and grandson to the infirmary again. Qiao Xi felt that these two people had good hearts. The room was on the ninth floor and the infirmary was on the first floor. It was not easy to go up and down. It could be tiring. dog. It is rare for someone who is not a relative to achieve this step.

The group of four returned three hours later. The little girl received an infusion in the infirmary and her spirits seemed to be slightly improved.

In the middle of the night, Qiao Xi, who was sleeping lightly, was awakened by heartbreaking crying. People in the same room went out to inquire out of curiosity, and came back to say that a middle-aged man with heart disease in the room diagonally opposite had died in his sleep.

In a high-temperature environment, metabolism accelerates, blood vessels dilate, and the heart is burdened, so summer has always been a period of high incidence of cardiovascular diseases.

"This is the end of the list. Those who die from the heat, those who die from illness. Will it be our turn one day? I never dreamed that one day we would die in a foreign land."

The speaker was Huang Canming, another boy among the four Ding Lanyue who had always been very taciturn. His expression was panicked, and his psychological defenses were threatened by the impact of death so close at hand.

Ding Lanyue seemed to be comforting him and herself: "Don't be like this, just bear with it for a few more days and it will be fine. When we go to the embassy, ​​we will be able to return to the country soon."

Some people were unwilling to endure it anymore. At the hottest time at noon on the 13th, those who couldn't bear the heat rushed out of the hotel and ran to the ocean not far away, regardless of the hotel staff's obstruction.

With the first one, the second and third soon followed... Group after group of people ran out, and some were holding swimming rings that had been conjured up from nowhere.

Even the victims of several other hotels across the road saw this and followed suit, breaking through the obstruction of the staff and rushing towards the sea.

Ding Lanyue's heart beat wildly: "Let's go too, I'm all rotten." The sweat got wet and dried, and dried and wet again. Not to mention the smell, it was all pickled by sweat.

Ma Meiying picked up her languid granddaughter and walked out: "Go, go, go, let's go. We won't let anyone soak in the sea, but let people endure it, just to save a little trouble. It's just a disease."

"I won't go. You can leave your bags and I'll watch." Qiao Xi didn't want to drink so many people's bath water. If everyone in the room left, she could just go into the space to relax.

"Ugh!" The little girl leaning on Ma Meiying's shoulder suddenly twitched and vomited out all the little food she had barely eaten at noon. In the end, she could only spit out sour water. Her little face was pale and pale, and her hands and feet were limp. drooping.

Ma Meiying was so frightened that she could only hug her granddaughter and call her "Tiantian Tiantian".

Qiao Xi grabbed the little girl and ran out: "Go to the infirmary!"

Liu Yifeng followed closely behind and helped push away the people swarming out in the corridor.

Ding Lanyue and He Haiyu helped Ma Meiying, whose hands and feet were weak and falling, to follow her.

Huang Canming, who was charging his mobile phone, jumped up, grabbed the solar power bank on the balcony and stuffed it into his bag, and then grabbed the backpack that others had not brought with them in desperation. Under the depressed gaze of the middle-aged man in the room, he followed her.

After finally squeezing into the infirmary, I found that the place was also in a mess. Two family members of the patients dragged the young doctor and cried, wondering why a person with heat stroke was gone.

The doctor was so shaken that he could not escape. There is only one doctor in this infirmary. The few remaining intact hospitals are full of people injured in fires. There is a serious shortage of medical staff. This doctor was only transferred because there were too many people suffering from heat stroke and their symptoms were too severe. come over.

Qiao Xi put the little girl on the bed and stepped forward to separate the crying patient's family members. No matter how miserable they cried, it could not be a reason for them to delay other people's treatment. Failure to cool down heatstroke in time would kill people.

The two family members whose minds had collapsed refused to give in and burst out with unprecedented strength.

He couldn't beat him, he was crying terribly, and there was an old lady. Qiao Xi, who had run out of patience, kicked the plastic stool and cracked it: [Let go! Waiting for him to save his life. ]

The family members were frightened back to their senses by the cracked plastic chair. Looking at the unconscious little girl on the hospital bed, they didn't understand. The middle-aged woman collapsed on the ground and cried so hard that her heart was broken.

The house was burned down, my husband and father-in-law were burned to death, and now my son has also died of illness. My son was only fifteen years old. It's gone, everything is gone.

The doctor who finally escaped immediately rushed to the bed.

In the medical room, doctors raced against time to save the little girl.

Outside the medical office, people were racing against time to run to the beach, fearing that they would not get a good seat if they got there late. Everyone has a herd mentality, not to mention that after being tortured by the scorching heat for several days, more than 90% of the people in the hotel flocked to the sea. The remaining 10% felt itchy, but were hesitant due to the scorching sun above their heads. The weather was good, and a dark cloud came over the ocean.

The remaining people no longer had any scruples and ran to the beach one after another, hoping that the rain would come. July is supposed to be the rainy season, and it rains from time to time, otherwise the previous fires wouldn't have burned so badly.

Cheers and cheers came one after another, and groups of people jumped into the sea like dumplings. In order to avoid crowding, people spontaneously dispersed, and the brave ones walked farther and farther.

This is what I'm afraid of. As soon as it is released, it will be let go, and no one can control it. The staff shouted until their throats were broken, reminding them to come back quickly, don't swim too far, be careful of drowning, and pay attention to safety...

The sea breeze is getting stronger and stronger, the dark clouds are gathering thicker and thicker, and destructive power is accumulated deep in the clouds.

The staff held loudspeakers and shouted, "A thunderstorm is coming, please come back soon."

The locals have long been accustomed to thunderstorms in summer afternoons. Within half an hour or so, it turns rainy and sunny. Normally I would hide away, but after being tortured by the high temperature for a few days, and encountering good weather with wind, rain and no sun, I would not be willing to obey, for fear that I would never have a chance to come out after I go back.

Seeing this, the others naturally stayed in the sea unable to get up. They continued to wash their hair, bathe and play in the water, completely unable to leave.
