Chapter 123
It was so hot and stuffy around me that I could not stop sweating from my forehead and into my neck. My clothes were not made of breathable material, but long sleeves and long pants. The sweat on my back was like a rain shower, sticking my back and clothes together.
"There was a power outage in the middle of the day. Look at the temperature today. How can people rest!"
"I just called the power supply bureau. Our area has not stopped supplying electricity. Only the residential buildings in our community have no electricity. Your property management must give an explanation today."
Many people were questioning loudly. Wen Zheng had just entered the new world when he found himself facing a crowd of angry people. The blocking action was a little slow. A force came from his chest. This body was so tired and weak that he could not resist it. Wen Zheng fell backwards.
"Hey, hey, hey, someone fainted, stop arguing."
"Could it be heat stroke?"
"Hurry up and help Old Wen to the chair, I'll call the clinic next door." The employee in charge at this time finished the call, and took advantage of the opportunity when the residents dared not to argue anymore, and quickly explained, "We have tried our best to take the electrician to check the situation, and will be back soon. Please wait for a while and let the doctor come in to treat the person."
Wen Zheng felt dizzy when he was pushed, and the strength slowly eased after falling to the ground. He simply hurried to see the situation of this world and accept the memory of the original body.

Note, please explore the hidden tasks by yourself. After reaching the survival time, the player can choose to leave the copy at any time.
After the clinic received the call, the doctor came with things and examined Wen Zheng. It was confirmed that it was a mild case of heatstroke. Because he was pushed by someone at the time, his head might have hit the ground and fainted. His clinic also belongs to the community. The power outage is not suitable for patients with heatstroke to rest. It is better to send him to the hospital.
The property manager who received the news came back on an electric car. He happened to hear the doctor's words and suddenly his eyes went dark. He hoped that nothing would happen to Wen Zheng and quickly found a car to send Wen Zheng to the hospital. Wen Zheng was lifted into the car by several people. The manager had no time to run to the car. As soon as one foot stepped into the car, he was stopped by the owners and could only let his employees take Wen Zheng there.
When it's hot, everyone is hot together.
"The Central Meteorological Observatory issued a yellow high temperature warning. It is expected that during the day on May 18, the highest temperature in Anjiang, Chongnan... and other areas will reach 35℃, among which..." In the hospital where the power supply is maintained, the TV hanging on the wall is playing the noon news, focusing on the abnormal temperature since May.
Several people in the emergency room had symptoms of heat stroke and were resting on the bench. Wen Zheng had suffered a blow to the back of his head, so a bed was arranged for him for the time being.
Wen Zheng woke up again and felt the cool air brought by the air conditioner in the hospital. He felt so comfortable. He opened his eyes and looked at the young man sitting next to him. The other party was happily playing with his mobile phone. He hurried over when he heard Wen Zheng getting up. Wen Zheng said that his physical condition was much better. After another examination by the doctor, he could leave after the infusion was over.
The young man was relieved after hearing this: "Uncle Wen, it's great that you are okay. We were scared at the time. I'll tell the manager quickly."
To put it bluntly, if Wen Zheng really had an accident at the door of the property, the surveillance camera that was out of power would not work. The responsibility for this incident would definitely fall on their property, and their wages would definitely be affected.
The young man was relieved for this month's salary.
Wen Zheng got off the bed and moved himself and the infusion bottle to the recliner next to him, leaving the bed for someone who needed it more. After looking at the time displayed on the TV, he quickly took out the spare mobile phone from his pocket and found a phone number to dial: "Teacher Li? I'm Wen Ling's father..."
This time, Wen Zheng and Tuantuan entered the world as a team. The two could not stay in the same place because Wen Ling was still a student and of course studied in school on weekdays.
Wen Zheng learned from the memory of his original body that Tuantuan usually stayed in school to eat lunch and went home at night. But now that his body has changed its core, with Tuantuan's personality, he can only endure those childish things for two hours at most. This is because he knew that Wen Zheng would definitely come to pick him up. Now that he has not waited for a long time, he should be anxious.
This call to the head teacher was very timely. Tuantuan heard the teacher say that Wen Zheng was in the hospital now. After asking which hospital it was, he ran out of the school gate without taking anything. The teacher was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly chased after him, but still failed to catch up. He stood at the gate and watched Tuantuan get into a taxi.
In case something went wrong, the head teacher immediately asked other teachers to look after the students temporarily, and took a taxi to the hospital. The journey didn't take too long, and before the head teacher entered the emergency room, he heard Tuantuan's voice: "My dad fainted at the gate of the community. Although the weather is hot, my dad usually stands guard indoors. He can't stay in the house with a fan on and get heatstroke, right? Uncle, is there anything else you haven't told me?"
Tuantuan arrived just one step later than the property manager who had solved the community problem. After hearing the manager's condolences to Wen Zheng, he wanted to take a day off and reimburse the medical expenses. Before Wen Zheng opened his mouth, Tuantuan immediately became anxious. This time he asked to enter the mission world with Wen Zheng just to protect Wen Zheng well. He rushed in and stood in front of Wen Zheng to question him.
The temperature outside was too high. If people were allowed to stay out for too long, it would be estimated that several patients with heat stroke would be sent in soon. Tuantuan's voice was not loud, and there were no patients in particularly critical conditions in the emergency room. The doctors and nurses ignored them for the time being. The rest of the patients moved their eyes silently and read gossip.
Tuantuan burst out with a temperament that was completely inconsistent with his appearance and age. The property manager was also a little guilty. He wiped the sweat from his forehead and couldn't say anything.
Wen Zheng accepted all the memories during the period of sleep.
The original body and his son used to depend on each other in the countryside, and they mainly made a living by farming. Later, his son was admitted to the best junior high school in the city. He was worried about his child, and because the income from farming was getting lower and lower every year, he came to the city and found a job near the school to accompany his son to study.
The job he finally found was to be a security guard in this newly built community. The salary was not high, but the work was not tiring, and he was given a small room that was enough for the father and son to live in.
There is no area in this city with particularly high temperatures. The highest temperature in the summer of previous years was just about 35 degrees. Who would have thought that the temperature this year would be so strange. It was only mid-May, and the temperature reached the highest temperature in previous years.
When the temperature was so high that it was unbearable, everyone would naturally turn on the air conditioner. As a result, there were too many residents who turned on the air conditioner at the same time. The power supply equipment used in the community could not support it, the transformer was damaged, and the power supply to the entire community was stopped. The same was true for the guard room where Wen Zheng was. The power outage suddenly occurred in hot weather. Those residents were naturally unhappy. They couldn't get a satisfactory answer after calling, so they ran to the property office to ask in person.
As the residents got excited, their voices got louder, and more and more people came. The guard room was not far from the property office, and Wen Zheng and the other two guards received a message from the office asking them to go over and help control the situation.
The office was like a stove in the sun, and the crowded crowd raised the temperature again. The residents and employees in the office could wear cool summer clothes, but the guards had to wear long-sleeved and long-trouser uniforms due to dress code requirements, and the fabric of the uniforms was not very breathable. Multiple factors caused the original body to fall into a state of heat stroke, and was pushed to the ground and fainted.

So seriously, the original body's heatstroke problem is more due to the property company.
The property manager had known all the circumstances. He had originally wanted to see Wen Zheng being honest, so he came to visit and deal with him. However, he did not know that the child of the Wen family was a difficult person to deal with. He finally evaded the question: "What do you know, little kid? Go to the side, I will talk to your father."
"Sir, I am Wen Ling's class teacher. I was worried and sent him to the hospital. Mr. Wen was inevitably uncomfortable after suffering from heat stroke. Since I am here, I still want to care about the situation of the child's parents. Otherwise, can you tell me what happened?"
The class teacher walked in from the door. She remembered that every time Wen Ling's father came to the parent-teacher meeting, he was very concerned about the child, but he was a little bit bad at speaking. Wen Ling was the best student in the class, and he was usually well-behaved and did not cause trouble. Since he encountered this incident today, she, as a teacher, could not just watch her students suffer.
Teacher Li is worthy of being a Chinese teacher who teaches and educates people. She is eloquent and logical. Not only did she not let the other party get around, but she also grasped the key points and kept asking questions, and was bound to make the situation clear. After asking everything clearly, Teacher Li took out the relevant regulations that he quickly looked up on his mobile phone and successfully won the treatment that Wen Zheng deserved.
The property manager had just apologized to the owner in a humble manner, and now the teacher disrupted his original plan. He had to agree to transfer a compensation that was several times more than expected to Wen Zheng. Without saying another word, he left in a rage.
The young man who accompanied Wen Zheng to the hospital followed him and left. Before leaving, he shook his head and left a sentence to Wen Zheng: "If you don't give the manager face like this, do you still want to stay and work in the future? Why let the child mess around?"
He was talking about the child, but he was looking at Teacher Li in his eyes. He clearly felt that Teacher Li didn't dare to interfere.
"I don't think my child is messing around." Wen Zheng, who had not spoken since the quarrel, spoke. The young man's footsteps stopped, and the teacher's rising displeasure was taken away. "I'm not very good at talking. Xiaoling said exactly what I wanted to say.”
Hearing Wen Zheng mention him, Tuantuan stood up from beside Wen Zheng and added what the manager didn't say.
"The highest temperature yesterday was 30 degrees, and the manager also asked my dad to wear spring uniforms. The community is not full yet, and there are many people who are not at home. With such a number of people turning on the air conditioner, the transformer breaks down. It shows that there was a problem with the initial design. Whether it was a miscalculation or a reluctance to spend money, the conclusion is that the property itself is unreliable. Even if there is no power outage today, other problems will arise in the future.
If you want to do this kind of job, just keep doing it. Next time you encounter a problem, don't fight for the treatment you deserve. See if the manager will give you a salary increase. "
The patients nearby who heard the conversation nodded in agreement, and some even laughed out loud at the end, causing the young man's face to turn red and his voice to rise involuntarily: "Are you cursing me?"
"It is forbidden to make loud noises in the hospital." The volume of this sentence was indeed beyond the normal volume range, and the doctor next to him warned.
The young man's unfinished words were stuck in his throat. He felt that everyone around him was watching his joke. He glared at Wen Zheng and Tuantuan several times and left with an unhappy look on his face.
Teacher Li could tell from Wen Zheng and Wen Ling's words that they didn't think they were being nosy, and his mood immediately improved a lot. The matter was resolved and it was not long before he was out. Teacher Li said as he should: "Mr. Wen, I happened to be going back to school, so I brought Wen Ling back with me. I can still attend the last two classes in the afternoon. Immediately. The high school entrance examination is coming soon, and the child's study is more important. Even if Wen Ling has good grades, she cannot relax at this time. "
Just because Wen Zheng suddenly called and said that he was in the hospital now and needed Wen Ling to go see him, Teacher Li thought that Wen Zheng had a serious illness. When he saw Wen Ling entering the hospital, he worriedly followed him to the emergency room.
Later, I found out that he wanted smart children to come and help fight against the unscrupulous boss, but Teacher Li still felt that he should not disturb the children at this critical moment of the high school entrance examination.
Wen Ling, who was leisurely sitting next to him, immediately froze up. Being too responsible as a teacher would lead to such a scene. He quickly blinked at Wen Zheng a few times where no one else could see him. He believed that his father would understand. mean.
Even if Tuantuan didn't seek help from himself, Wen Zheng would not let Tuantuan go back to school to attend classes, otherwise he didn't know what kind of trouble it would cause. His family would not stay in school and listen carefully.
But facing Teacher Li who had just helped him, he rubbed his temples with a headache. He really couldn't find any suitable reason to persuade the teacher to leave. He always felt that nothing he could say would be sorry for this serious and responsible teacher.
"Dad, are you still feeling unwell?" Tuantuan looked particularly smart at this time, and immediately looked at Teacher Li with worried eyes, "Teacher, I knocked my head on the ground when I fainted. I am really worried and want to accompany you." I’m worried about him, so I’m asking you for leave. You can go back first.”
The father and son really had no other relatives. Teacher Li was worried that if he talked about it any more, he would hurt them. Finally, he whispered to Wen Ling that he must go to school tomorrow and let him study hard at home. Tuantuan nodded in response. If he didn't go back to school today, he could do it tomorrow.
Quietness returned to the emergency room. The patients sitting next to them even chatted with Wen Zheng and the others. Their favorable impression of the Wen family and his son gradually increased, while at the same time, their favorable impression of the property dropped sharply. There were still people who smelled it. Zheng left a business card: "Brother, if you can't work in this property anymore, just call me and I'll introduce you to a better one."
"I'll leave the phone number. Let me say thank you in advance." Wen Zheng accepted the other party's kindness and carefully put the business card behind the phone case and tucked it up.
At this time, Wen Zheng's infusion was over. He asked Tuantuan to contact the taxi on his mobile phone in advance. He waited for the taxi to arrive before saying goodbye to everyone. He took Tuantuan out and took the taxi. Just a short distance from the hospital to the taxi, you can feel the extremely high temperature outside. Even the air seems to become thicker under the high temperature.
Naturally, the two of them would not choose to go back to the community. The property management staff had not yet kicked Wen Zheng out. They said that suitable transformers needed to be purchased from the province, and they would have to wait until tomorrow for expedited delivery. What’s more, the property company hadn’t kicked him out yet. I plan to pay the expedited fee, but staying in a community without electricity is a complete misery.
After the two of them got in the car, they asked the driver to take them to a medium-sized hotel. They stopped for a while on the way and went down together to help Wen Zheng buy a set of daily clothes suitable for the current temperature. After entering the hotel room, Wen Zheng changed out of the doorman's clothes.
After taking a good shower in the hotel, the temperature had dropped a bit, and then I went to the nearest restaurant for dinner. As night fell, a breeze blew outside, and the father and son simply went to the nearby river.
Street lights of different colors lit up on both sides of the river and bridges, which looked pretty good. The river that runs through the city has always been landscaped. Next to the river is a specially built track suitable for walking, and lively parks have been established on opposite sides.
One side is a small amusement park, usually visited by young people, and the other side was formerly occupied by aunts and uncles who love square dancing. In the past, these two parks were full of people at night, but the temperature has been too high these days, and there are obviously fewer people coming.
Wen Zheng led the group to walk by the river, discussing their future plans as they walked.
Wen Zheng breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that this was an intermediate mission. The last high-level mission was too tiring, so I came here hoping to take a little rest. When you see the content of the mission below, you will know that this is a natural disaster, and it is no longer one of those disasters that are too weird to prepare for.
Wen Zheng can imagine the impact on human life due to rising temperatures, drought in rivers, and reduced food production, and naturally understands what kind of preparations should be made. As long as natural disasters can be predicted in advance, the difficulty will be greatly reduced. If the mission hadn't lasted three years, Wen Zheng would have estimated that the difficulty could only be regarded as an elementary mission.
"Just like in the famine world before, let's find a place with sufficient water and reserve more supplies in advance." Wen Zheng smiled and touched Tuantuan's head, "You can transform into a human form only in the famine world. I was still a fat baby at that time, but now I have grown so tall.”
Tuantuan raised his head and rubbed it into Wen Zheng's palm, raised a cute smile and said, "No matter how tall I grow, I will always be my father's child."
Wen Zheng had to admit that he was a little attracted by Tuantuan's cuteness. He couldn't help but move the hand on Tuantuan's head to his face and rub it a few times. The more he looked at it, the more he felt that he was very lucky.
