aridity

After the rainstorm, Li Yu went to take care of the Salvation Army on the third day.

After recuperating for a week, he did not go out again, but the third and second uncles in the base occasionally took some workers out to collect some building materials.

In addition, uncle often takes some people out to bring back things that can be used around him.

Time bit by bit, the height of the wall has become higher and higher, originally just wanted to make the fence of the fence higher, but after Li Hongyuan saw it, he directly suggested that the height of the wall be built higher.

It's safer against the zombies. From its current height of almost eight meters, it has been built to a height of nearly ten meters.

It used a lot of concrete and steel, which, fortunately, the factories around it had enough of.

This is a lasting thing, and when the base wall was just built to 9 meters, 10 days had passed since the rainstorm.

In the past 10 days, the wall has been increased by one meter. But that day was stopped by Li Yu.

After the heavy rain, it has been 10 days of hot weather, from 25 degrees, to 35 degrees, and now it is often 40 degrees, and even at noon, the temperature will reach 44 degrees.

At this temperature, the water in the mountain pond has become less and the water level has dropped by nearly half a meter.

You know, this mountain pond is the highest water level in history.

This mountain pond presents a U-shape, and can drop half a meter at the top water level, which is already very amazing.

During this period of time, the daily water in the base is still used groundwater, although there is also a pipe in the mountain pond, which is introduced into the base, but it is basically not used now.

In July, the grass plants are growing strongly, just when the water is most needed. The water from the mountain pond has been poured down twice in the past few days to water these fields.

Some sweet potatoes and corn planted before use less water, connected a pipe, watered through twice, and did not consume much water.

On this day, Li Yu specially convened everyone to start a meeting.

Li Yu stood in the center, in addition to the Li Haoran who was on duty, some people in other bases were basically present.

"As you can see by now, it's been very hot lately, and there's been no rain, which is a good thing, which means there's been no zombie wave. But it's also a bad thing. As you can see, the water level on the other side of the pond has dropped." Li Yu said.

"So, what I want to say to you is that I hope you will save water and not waste water in the near future." We don't know how long this heat will last."

"Got it."

"Okay, let's all pay attention."

"All right, boss."

Everyone is very thoughtful, especially Uncle, who, during the recent search, found that some of the low-lying ponds formed during the previous rainstorm were mostly dry.

"Then let's save water and don't waste it. We don't know how long this scorching weather will last." Second uncle added a sentence beside.

"Yes, Uncle."

"Ok, Brother Li."

"All right."

In these dry, hot days, it's easy for everyone to get heat stroke.

So for the last two days, the outings have stopped.

Although there are fewer and fewer zombies outside, people are still very uncomfortable in this hot weather.

But there is also an advantage, these days of exposure, solar energy is unusually abundant. The electricity is never used up in the past, and even the battery is fully charged.

You can even run the air conditioner all day without worrying about the battery. This also allows everyone to get a better rest, although the weather is hot, but in the air-conditioned room can also get a better rest.

In addition, because the electricity is sufficient, the electricity used by everyone on electronic products can also be released.

On cooler nights, movies are sometimes shown in the central open air. It brought back memories for parents and grandparents alike.

The hot weather and the boredom made everyone feel tired.

In the duty room, there are also two air conditioners installed behind, in this weather, if you are exposed to the sun, on duty, it will not take long to get heat stroke.

Li Yu is on duty today, in this air-conditioned room, Li Yu does not want to go out for a minute, it is too hot outside. It feels like it's gonna burn up after a while.

Poured a glass of lemonade, added two ice cubes to it, drank two gulps, and looked far outside the base to observe the situation outside.

Next to him was Li Hang, Li Hang stayed beside some bored, looked at the electronic products next to him, and then looked at the big brother.

Finally he sighed. He said, "Brother, I have to go to the bathroom."

Li Yu said without words, "Go. Don't tell me."

Li Hang had not been there long before he came up and immediately said, "Brother, can we go fishing again after our shift is over?"

Li Yu shook his head and said, "You can go if you want." I'm not going today."

Li Yu's fishing has been hit so many times that he doesn't really want to go fishing anymore.

Outside the base, the sun beat down.

The sound of the cicadas has stopped, and the trees outside are a little wilted.

The leaves hung listlessly on the branches.

The drought after the rainstorm, under the sun, a lot of soil outside the base, are dried, a step on the foot, hard.

Outside the base, there are also some farmland, which in fact has grown some crops, but these crops are previously cut rice, some left down.

But in these days of exposure to the sun, the water in the paddy field has completely evaporated.

These crops are also dried to death, from wilting, to dry, and finally into a wispy yellow sliver.

The ground also showed large patches of cracked, dry land, which was an act of God.

The rain was an act of God, and now the drought is an act of God.

These days of exposure to the sun, let everyone a little out of the spirit.

However, whether it is second uncle, or grandfather, etc., they are very careful about these crops in the field, which is their future food ah. Even now, food is still plentiful.

In this hot weather, some green float in the paddy field, and in the temperature of more than 40 degrees, the surface of the paddy field began to bubble up.

One step down, the whole foot feels like burning. It's too hot.

In order not to waste water, Li Yu also grows other crops around the paddy field.

In this hot weather, the wind has disappeared, the insects and birds have disappeared, and the whole earth is extremely quiet.

This is the opposite of being in a rainstorm.
