Chapter 226:

It wasn’t that Liang Yu was unwilling to use food as an offering; rather, if he actually left food, the graveyard would likely be gone by the next day.

They might even dig up Yang Hai and threaten him to exchange for food.

After dealing with matters there, Liang Yu returned to the RV. He went straight to the bathroom, took a shower, and then went back to his room to lie down.

As he lay on the bed, he realized Lan Ling had been waiting there for a long time.

Their eyes met, and there were no superfluous words; everything was driven by biological instinct.

Liang Yu continuously vented his desires, not even noticing that the room door had been opened and someone was peeking in.

Just like that, the night passed.

By the time Liang Yu woke up the next day, it was already almost one in the afternoon.

Liang Yu recalled the madness of last night and couldn’t help but feel a little heartache looking at Lan Ling beside him.

He gently brushed aside the hair on Lan Ling’s face, quietly watching her. It was then that Lan Ling woke up.

Seeing Liang Yu’s face so close, she reached out and hugged Liang Yu, kissing him directly.

The two enjoyed another period of sweetness, but were finally dominated by his sister, reluctantly getting up, dressing, and heading to the dining room.

In the dining room, there was only food left by Mu Yunxi; she was nowhere to be seen.

Liang Yu and Lan Ling didn’t mind; filling their stomachs was the most important thing at the moment.

While they were halfway through eating, Mu Yunxi rushed over.

Liang Yu saw that her expression was very flustered.

She had just gathered the courage to go to Liang Yu’s room to look for them but hadn’t found either of them.

That’s when she thought of coming to the dining room, and sure enough, Liang Yu and Lan Ling were there eating lunch.

Upon seeing Mu Yunxi, Liang Yu put down his bowl and chopsticks, poured a cup of water, and handed it to her.

“Xiao Yizi, don’t rush.”

“Just tell us slowly whatever it is.”

Taking the water cup from Liang Yu’s hand, Mu Yunxi drank it all, then took a deep breath before explaining to them.

“Sister, Brother-in-law, something big has happened.”

“The screen in the driver’s cabin wasn’t turned off, right?”

“I was bored just now, so I went to take a look, wanting to pass some time. Guess what I saw?”

At this moment, Lan Ling hadn’t realized the seriousness of the problem and began to joke with Mu Yunxi.

“Don’t tell me those corpses all stood up and are wandering outside.”

“They all turned into zombies, surrounded us, and blocked the main gate.”

Mu Yunxi quickly waved her hands.

“No!”

“Sister, I’m really not joking with you.”

“Didn’t those people only turn into corpses yesterday?”

“I just saw that they’ve all turned into mummies now; there isn’t a drop of moisture left in their bodies.”

When Liang Yu heard Mu Yunxi mention mummies, he immediately knew something big had happened.

He didn’t believe his Xiao Yizi would joke about such a thing.

He couldn’t bother with anything else now and rushed directly to the driver’s cabin to check the surveillance footage.

He even specifically zoomed in on some of the corpses to study them. Indeed, just as Mu Yunxi had said, these corpses had all turned into mummies overnight.

It was as if all the water in a person’s body had been forcibly stripped away, leaving behind shriveled dried meat.

Liang Yu’s first reaction was that the temperature had risen again. Feeling somewhat uncertain, he remembered Mario was still outside.

So he asked Mario to report the external temperature.

After seeing Mario’s feedback, Liang Yu took a deep breath.

The current time was around 1:20 PM, and the sun was most scorching, the temperature highest, between 12 PM and 3 PM.

In the sky, a large sun hung above, and the current temperature had reached an astonishing seventy-three degrees!

Moreover, judging by the dryness of the corpses, this high temperature had lasted for at least five or six hours.

At this point, Liang Yu took out a Sixteen Type and sprayed it with a high-temperature resistant, heat-insulating coating.

Then he released it out the window.

But as soon as the window opened, a heatwave immediately struck, making Liang Yu feel as if he had instantly returned to a sauna room.

After releasing the Sixteen Type, he immediately closed the window.

And the screen in front of him quickly switched to the footage captured by this Sixteen Type.

Parts of the road had already been damaged by the high temperature, and the streets that had many people yesterday now showed no signs of a single living person.

However, there were a few lying on the ground, but these few were lying on the ground, and it was unknown if they had suffered from heatstroke.

The skin on their bodies that was touching the ground had already begun to show signs of carbonization.

And the exposed skin, under the intense sunlight, had already suffered severe burns.

Even the skin beneath clothing was not spared, merely experiencing a lesser degree of burns.

Liang Yu then discovered living people in a nearby supermarket.

So he quickly aimed the camera towards the supermarket.

More than a dozen people were gathered in the supermarket. The skin on some of these people appeared black, while on others, it was red.

And apart from the parts covered by clothing, any skin exposed to the outside had developed many blisters.

From a distance, Liang Yu could even hear their wails.

At this moment, Liang Yu noticed a few more people lying in a slightly inner position.

Upon closer inspection, he realized that these few people had the most severe burns and now had no pulse or breathing.

However, Liang Yu was well aware that even though the remaining dozen people had less severe burns, in his eyes, they were no different from dead people.

In an environment lacking medicine, with wounds festering and no effective treatment, they would sooner or later die from infection and complications.

Liang Yu in the RV was now thinking about something else entirely; the lives or deaths of those people had nothing to do with him.

Even if Liang Yu had a burst of kindness and gave them burn ointment, these people wouldn’t survive.

What concerned him was the extreme heat following the cold wave.

So if they survived this high temperature, what would come next?

While he was lost in thought, Lan Ling and her sister also successively arrived in the driver’s cabin.

Looking at the dazed Liang Yu, Lan Ling walked over, using the simplest and most effective method to bring Liang Yu back to his senses.

Liang Yu, having come back to his senses, looked at the two women in front of him and couldn’t help but smile bitterly.

“I have some bad news to tell you.”

“The temperature outside has risen; it’s now over seventy degrees.”

“We’ll have to stay here a bit longer and see what the temperature is like tonight.”

At this moment, Mu Yunxi asked a question she was very concerned about.

“Brother-in-law, are our food and water reserves still enough?”

“I used quite a lot of water to take a bath yesterday.”

As she said this, Mu Yunxi’s voice grew softer and softer, like a child who had done something wrong.

Liang Yu looked at her expression and suddenly wanted to scare his Xiao Yizi, but before he could even speak, he saw Lan Ling staring at him from the side.
