Quick Transmigration: Always Just a Passerby

Chapter 31 High Temperature Apocalypse 3

The city reeks of decay, and sanitation workers and volunteers are working in shifts to clean it up.

However, the work clothes they were wearing were simplified protective suits provided by the authorities.

The protective suits can withstand temperatures of 70 degrees Celsius, and the reward is a single serving of water and compressed biscuits. Quite a few people are willing to do this job.

However, protective suits cannot be mass-produced yet, and are currently only provided to specific professions.

With the emergence of various sun protection, heat relief, and high-temperature resistance products, ordinary people in China felt more at ease, and social order improved significantly.

At the Donghua City base, Qin Yue had already undergone a complete transformation, becoming the aloof and domineering female CEO as set in the system.

As long as she doesn't speak, she can intimidate some people who don't know her secrets just by looking at them.

The targets of the system's "strategy" have all signed confidentiality agreements and have worked with Qin Yue for a period of time.

Now they can leave the base and return to their company or home to do their own things, accompanied (escorted) by a dedicated person.

Thanks to everyone's concerted efforts, the strategy system has produced a lot of great stuff.

Formulas for high-temperature resistant cooling oil, advanced burn ointment, quick-cooling patches, high-temperature resistant materials, universal fire extinguishers, and high-efficiency seawater desalination devices...

Each of these mission rewards can save a life.

The system description is a general version, but it is actually much better than what is currently available on the market. The materials, production, and usage methods are also simpler.

Fire extinguishers are now manufactured in factories in every city, initially for fire departments, communities, forest police, and hospitals. Once mass production is possible, ordinary residents will also be eligible to purchase them.

To avoid a series of hidden dangers caused by fire due to high temperatures.

Seawater desalination equipment and high-temperature resistant materials were also put into production early on.

With such generous rewards, Qin Yue and her team were even more motivated to complete the mission.

*

Twenty days have passed, and the temperature continues to rise without any sign of stopping.

Many rivers have dried up, the land has been scorched and cracked, and the forests in the mountains have become dead trees. People also need to be wary of wildfires.

Supermarkets and water stations have closed down, and people now rely on water trucks for drinking water and go to official trading markets to exchange goods.

However, they no longer accept cash transactions.

This was expected.

Yan Yiping followed the crowd and visited the trading center a few times. The security inside was quite good, which showed the official's efforts.

Unlike my previous life, this time the town has always had a drinking water supply.

The main advantage is that the (high-efficiency version) seawater desalination equipment provided by the system is easy to use, and the high-temperature resistant materials are also good.

However, existing grain production has already decreased or even failed, and prices remain high, while fruits and vegetables are even more scarce and expensive.

The progress of improving grain varieties can only be observed in terms of staple food.

Encouraged by the community, unemployed people signed up in droves to carry bricks and build shelters in government-designated areas. They were paid daily and even received free tea to cool off in the summer.

Although they haven't reached the point of desperation yet, everyone is trying their best to earn more food to keep at home.

Thanks to these favorable policies, even the strict father and mother managed to survive.

She even called Yan Yiping, attempting to morally blackmail her into returning to the village and marrying Wang Dahu at the village entrance.

Wang Dahu was a capable man; he had relatives who worked in the patrol team.

If you marry your daughter to him and he gives birth to a healthy baby boy, the son-in-law will always be able to help out your family and relatives.

It's clear these two people are forgetful of past mistakes; even when marrying off their daughter, they still try to secure benefits for their relatives.

However, they were still reluctant to spend money on travel expenses and clothing, so the matter was left unresolved.

……

According to the system scan by Passerby A, Qin Yue's strategy system turned out to be a novice wild system.

I haven't done anything immoral or immoral, nor have I tried to absorb the fortune of my predecessors.

Yan Yiping suggested that it introduce the other party to work at the Quick Transmigration Bureau.

Unexpectedly, the wild player agreed without hesitation, even crying and saying that he didn't want to be the strategy system.

The system indicated that these were minor issues.

With the guidance of the experts in the group, after removing the small virus from the other party's data, they also gave it a system plugin that allows it to directly contact the Quick Transmigration Bureau.

Seeing this, Yan Yiping bought a discounted system skin from the system store and gave it to it.

This deeply moved the Wild Universe, who gifted Yan Yiping several high-temperature apocalypse-themed packages and even shared some of its own energy as a tribute to its senior.

……

With the high-temperature apocalypse gift pack from the strategy system, Yan Yiping no longer needed to go out and exchange items himself.

Seeing that the authorities were taking the beginner's course in talisman making seriously and had found someone with talent in talisman cultivation, I stopped paying attention to this matter.

This was entrusted to her by the Wild System to be handed over to the official, and she would only say it was a system reward.

Recently, the community has started notifying everyone to pick up drought-resistant and heat-resistant sweet potatoes. You can plant them in a flowerpot and they only need a little water.

One potato seed can produce a pot of potatoes in forty days; this is an improvement made by the research institute based on the systematic grain seed.

Yan Yiping didn't go to collect it; he planned to exchange it for more at the trading market.

Before leaving, I packed my things from the rented room into my spatial storage, shaved my head, changed into a thin shirt that was almost smelly, sprayed on some floral water, and put on some cooling talismans. I dressed so that even a ghost wouldn't recognize me before leaving the neighborhood.

Perhaps because the stadium is such a mixed bag, there are quite a few stubborn residents in the community who only go there occasionally during the day to cool off.

It seems their bodies have adapted to the high temperatures.

After all, those who can't adapt to life are all in the hospital.

Yan Yiping set off before dark and walked to the trading market near the stadium in fifteen minutes.

After exchanging the grains, she browsed through the other stalls.

If I see something I like, I'll trade it for the instant noodles I bought earlier.

Only after confirming that there were no tails behind her did she feel at ease enough to ride the high-temperature gift pack bicycle she had taken out from her space in a secluded spot, heading towards a valley she had previously chosen.

This time, without zombie henchmen working for her, she plans to try farming on her own.

After all, she is someone with an aura, even if it's just the aura of a passerby.

The black soil in the space is already the size of several football fields, thanks to the help of puppets in farming.

Thanks to the system.

However, the black soil is mostly covered with perennial trees such as fruit trees and ginseng.

It is not limited by the seasons, so it can be said to grow indefinitely.

It looks just like the farm game on her console.

Yan Yiping chose a valley and forest, and before the high temperatures arrived, she came over and quickly pasted talismans and set up an array.

At present, satellites, surveillance, and drones cannot detect it.

She placed a small building in a clearing in the valley, which scared away all the wild animals that were still alive by the stream next to it.

It's probably because the formation covers a wide area, and wild animals within the formation tend to gather in areas with more cooling talismans.

Survival was difficult, so Yan Yiping didn't intend to drive them away. He simply used cooling and rain-summoning talismans on the hilltops within the formation.

So that they won't gather near the small building and eat the vegetables she planted.

They planted the tomato seedlings, winter melon seedlings, pumpkin seedlings, potato seedlings, ginger seedlings, chili seedlings, cantaloupe seedlings, watermelon seedlings, and high-temperature sweet potato seedlings that they had cultivated earlier.

Using his mental energy to loosen the soil and dig holes, he planted the plants, watered them with spiritual spring water, and set up trellises, waiting for them to grow up.

As for insects, you can use an insect-repelling talisman.

With the formation and spiritual spring, there's no need to worry about planting or seasonal issues.

After finishing this short period of work, Yan Yiping gave himself a half-day off.

We ate all night: crayfish, fried chicken, spicy hot pot, milk tea, stinky tofu, roasted pig's trotters...

There was no way around it; my appetite improved after taking the health-enhancing pills.

Feeling tired from eating, Yan Yiping took out a bamboo bed, lay back on it, and chatted with the system while gazing at the sky.

Beside me were half a watermelon, a bag of dried tofu, and a bowl of braised duck intestines, all labeled with preservation tags so there was no need to worry about them spoiling.

He let his spiritual energy roam freely in the forest, casually teasing the still-living small animals (beasts).
