Acai's Sky

Chapter 370: First Hearing of the Dungeon...

Extremely high temperature

All the people in Yucheng did not dare to expose themselves directly to the sun, because everyone understood that if they really did so, the consequences would be unimaginable.

After all, every day we watch TV shows about immune system diseases, eye diseases, skin diseases, etc. caused by direct exposure to ultraviolet rays from the sun.

These terrible diseases are chilling, so the residents of Yucheng chose to hide at home and avoid contact with the outside world.

At this time, the TV screen showed the entire underground environment of Yucheng, which was extremely busy.

People shuttled through the huge spider-web-like underground passage like busy ants.

Everyone was busy and nervous, working hard to make a living.

Tong's mother picked up a thermometer and said proudly, "Look, the temperature outside is already as high as 60 or 70 degrees, but it's only 19 degrees at home! We don't even need to turn on the air conditioner!"

Aunt Qiu came over curiously and carefully identified the scale on the thermometer.

She couldn't help but exclaim, "This outer wall material is really great! As long as we don't leave the building, there will be absolutely no problem."

Tong's father walked into the house from outside, sweating profusely. He quickly changed into slippers, and then rushed to the bathroom upstairs to take a shower.

When Tong's mother saw her husband so anxious, she knew that there were too many people in the underground passage and he was still feeling the heat.

Aunt Qiu quickly cut a big watermelon from the kitchen, carefully cut it into slices, placed them neatly on a plate, and then brought it to the coffee table in the living room.

He smiled and said, "Come and try this freshly cut watermelon. It's just the right thing to cool you down and quench your thirst."

Aunt Qiu took a bite and sighed, "It's so rare that we can still eat watermelon at home. I heard that watermelon will not be sold in supermarkets until next month."

Mother Tong couldn't eat too much watermelon due to health reasons, so she could only pick up a big peach, wipe it gently with her hands, and then start to eat it in big bites.

He said contentedly, "That's right. The weather has been so hot recently that the flowers in the flower shop in front are almost sold out. The fragrance of those flowers is so refreshing and makes me feel refreshed all of a sudden."

Aunt Qiu smiled and nodded, agreeing, "Indeed, the plants and flowers that Ah Cai brought back are truly magical. Just placing them there makes people feel happy and relaxed."

As she spoke, she slightly moved the mutant orchid on the coffee table.

At this time, Tong's father finished his shower, walked quickly to the living room, picked up a piece of watermelon and started eating, muttering:

"Oh my! I finally managed to snag a high-end private room at the Maternal and Child Health Hospital today. It wasn't easy!"

There was a hint of fatigue on his face, but joy was shining in his eyes.

Tong's father frowned again and complained, "Now other hospitals are full of foreigners. The smell they carry is so unpleasant that it's almost fatal."

Tong's mother touched her round belly and asked Aunt Qiu worriedly, "Will our two baby boys be born a month earlier than expected?"

Aunt Qiu calculated the date carefully and nodded in agreement: "Yes, according to common sense, the twins may be born about a month earlier. We have to hurry up and make some preparations."

Tong's father wiped his hands and said, "By the way, the neighborhood community in our ancient alley called today and asked if our house is for rent."

Tong's mother frowned and said unhappily, "Rent it to those foreigners? No!"

When Tong's father heard this, he couldn't help but burst out laughing and quickly explained: "Wife, don't misunderstand me, I didn't say I would rent the house to those foreigners.

In fact, foreigners have already trapped them in a newly developed fluorescent community.

We want to rent our house to a few veteran Chinese medicine practitioners.”

After hearing this, Tong's mother turned around and looked at Tong's father with a puzzled look, waiting for his further explanation.

Tong's father quickly continued to explain: "Look, doesn't our garage have a branch line that goes directly to the underground integrated access passage? This way, it will be convenient for those old comrades to come in and out."

When Tong's mother, Ms. Gao, heard that the house was not to be rented to foreigners, her concerns immediately disappeared and she agreed without hesitation.

At this time, Tong's mother looked at the news on TV again.

The screen showed the tragic scenes in disaster-stricken areas abroad, and Tong's mother couldn't help but sigh:

"The people abroad are truly pathetic. Even in such a state, they're still demanding we provide the formula for the exterior wall materials. Humph, that's a nice thought!"

Tong's father disagreed. He shook his head and said, "Well, we have to give it to them sooner or later. After all, this disaster is so serious. It would be unreasonable not to give it to them."

Tong's mother snorted disdainfully and retorted, "Give it to them and they'll produce it? The temperature outside is already 60 or 70 degrees Celsius, who can stand it?"

After saying that, Tong's mother turned her gaze towards the TV screen again, with a hint of worry and sympathy on her face.

Aunt Qiu nodded repeatedly. "Yes, yes, I heard that from others. They also said that the smell of those animal carcasses piled together was unbearable, and then the epidemic began to break out."

When Tong's father heard this, he suddenly remembered something. He stretched his head, looked around and asked, "Where's Ah Cai? Didn't she have online classes today?"

Tong's mother smiled gently and explained, "It's time to go home. She went to the flower shop in front. Look at all the plants and flowers in our house. They were all brought back from the flower shop in front."

Tong's father nodded with satisfaction. "Well, the flower shop in front is good. There are also private rooms on the second and third floors. No one will disturb you."

Aunt Qiu also laughed: "That's right, the underground passages in Yucheng are very well connected. Maybe the entire city's underground has been connected."

Tong's father nodded in agreement: "Yes, it is an underground city."

"Yes, I heard that this underground city will be completed soon. There are ten underground floors in total, which can accommodate a lot of people."

Tong's mother opened her mouth in surprise. "Oh my! It's only been a few months, and the dungeon is almost finished? How fast is that?"

Tong's father seemed very calm and said with a smile: "Now that even the artifact has appeared, it won't be surprising if other magical things happen."

"hiss!"

"Building an underground city means that basically all government agencies will be moved into the underground city in the future."

"It says extreme cold weather will arrive in two months..."
