High temperature

Indeed, just as Alanna said, Waldo used to think that leveling up would only bring numerical improvements, until it reached the point of shattering mountains and splitting rocks.

But in reality, it wasn't the case.

When he reached level ten, a skill directly popped up!

In this post-apocalyptic zombie world of survival, the survivors were able to level up and learn skills just like game players.

Waldo couldn't understand what the system or the puppet master behind bringing them into this zombie world was thinking.Shaking his head, Waldo decided not to dwell on things that happened so long ago.

After all, even if he knew about the puppet master, he wouldn't be able to solve it.

It was better to focus on the present, the most practical aspect.

Waldo said to Alanna, "Alanna, let's experiment with this stealth skill and see its advantages."

When mastering a new skill, it was important to do so quickly.Besides, he couldn't foolishly communicate on the chat channel.Because he didn't know if he was the only one who possessed this skill.

Without knowing about others, it could be his trump card.

If he carelessly exposed his information on the chat channel, it could attract more harm.

He didn't think he could wake up and have the entire world as his enemy.

For now, he had to continuously experiment with this skill and fully understand its capabilities.

Alanna nodded in agreement.

"Good, let's figure out this stealth skill together."

After an afternoon of experimentation, the two of them summarized the use and limitations of the stealth skill.The stealth skill completely hid the user, including their shadow.

However, it didn't block out sound.

During the experiments, Alanna was able to deduce Waldo's approximate location from his breathing and footsteps several times.It was crucial to note that zombies had keen senses of smell.This was a key point.

Both of them agreed that this stealth skill was perfectly suited for assassination or as an absolute technique in noisy environments.

Especially when infiltrating enemy territory.Survivors didn't possess the same sharp hearing and sense of smell as zombies.

For Waldo, obtaining the stealth skill was no less valuable than acquiring a golden-level supply box.He was satisfied.

The day after Waldo reached level ten and mastered the stealth skill, the weather in this world underwent a second change since the last heavy rain.

When they woke up early in the morning, Waldo and the others were already drenched in sweat.

According to the time, it should be the pleasant autumn season, not hot enough to wake them up like this.

But the fact was that they woke up with their bodies covered in sweat, their backs soaked.

Even though it was early morning, the sky was scorching hot.

Despite not being directly exposed to intense ultraviolet rays, Waldo's room faced the east and had turned into an oven.

Waldo got up, placing his hand near his eyes, and looked out the window.

He could feel that the streets were distorted due to the scorching heat.Waldo felt speechless.This terrible weather was almost like being in the Sahara Desert.

Waldo touched the iron grating of the window with his hand, and it remained scorching for several minutes, giving him a burning sensation.

It seemed that going out today was impossible. Being outside in this weather would probably lead to heatstroke or dehydration.

Waldo felt a sense of helplessness.

He was still thinking about taking Alanna out today and letting Alanna also reach level ten to verify whether the skill was truly exclusive to him.

For now, there was no way, they could only stay in the villa and rest.

By the way, he decided to check the trading platform for any available goods.

In case he was lucky and came across some good finds, it was hard to say.

Even if he couldn't find the desired supplies, Waldo still had to sell some things.

The unlimited supplies he had acquired in the past few days were all daily necessities like shampoo, body wash, and laundry detergent.

Presumably, there would be some people who would need them.

Although bathing was now a very luxurious thing, there would always be someone who couldn't resist.

After so many days without bathing, one could easily pass for a vagrant.

With these unlimited supplies, if he could trade them for some scarce items in Waldo's reserves, such as steel sheets, lime, alum, and other hardware and chemical supplies, it would definitely be profitable.

Enjoying the cool air from the air conditioner and eating homemade cola ice cream, Waldo opened the chat channel, planning to promote his products in public chat.

However, it seemed like everyone was complaining about today's extreme weather.

Number 435664: "It's too hot today! I slept on the mountaintop in the wilderness, in a tent, and I half-dreamt that someone carried me into an incinerator. Now I'm lying on a tree trying to cool down, but I still feel so hot."

Number 834539: "Does anyone have it worse than me? I woke up early today, planning to trek across a plain, but I watched the sun rise and now I can't even find a place to cool down! Damn it, I've already drunk three bottles of water, but it's still not enough. I feel like I'm going to get roasted alive in this plain (crying face)!!"

Number 394793: "The temperature today is outrageous, even more so than we could have imagined. Try to avoid going outside. If you're already outside and have no other choice, make sure to protect yourself from the sun and wear long sleeves, or else you'll really get sunburned."

Number 837291: "Exactly, even the Middle Eastern desert doesn't reach this temperature. This temperature can definitely roast a person alive!"

Number 324655: "We had acid rain before, and now we have scorching temperatures. I wonder if the next thing will be hail."

Number 38784: "You should shut your mouth! Brother, it's not impossible, I'm just afraid that knives will start falling from the sky, hahaha!"

Number 10086: "It's alright for me. I've turned on the air conditioner at 20 degrees, and I still feel a bit cold (attached image showing the temperature display when the air conditioner is on). I even feel like covering myself with a down blanket."

Many survivors who were typing saw the message Waldo sent and their hands froze instantly.

That annoying 10086 had appeared again.

They shifted their focus to criticizing and mocking 10086 as they had done in the past.

Number 10000: "10086, are you trying to attract hatred again? Haha, but there's nothing to envy. I'm currently soaking in a bathtub, so cool!"

Number 10010: "You, on the other hand, are here to show off, aren't you??? With your good looks, I didn't expect you to be a traitor to the revolution."

Number 347923: "Well, you shouldn't be paying attention to 10086. How is he able

to use the air conditioner? Does he have electricity? What the hell?!"

Number 495839: "Damn! Yeah, it seems so. How can 10086 use the air conditioner? Does he have power? What's the fuck?!"

Number 397454: "No! I can't accept it!! I haven't even eaten my fill, and someone is already living a petty bourgeoisie life!"

Number 894759: "Come on, bro, it's been over a week, and you're still struggling to meet your basic needs."

Number 397454: "Wuwuwu, it's my fault. Now I only have two meals a day (teary face)."

Number 10086: "Ahem, I've been using electricity for several days now. Keep going, everyone. There will be bread, there will be milk, and everything will be there."

Number 93749: "I never expected that even in the post-apocalyptic world, there would still be social classes, and here I am, a miserable member of the shovel-wielding class."

Number 10086: "Oh, I almost forgot to mention, I've put some shampoo, body wash, and laundry detergent on the shelves. You can buy them if you want, they're cheap."
