Chapter 246: The Great Calamity - Hot Natural Disaster 3
"Okay... so thirsty... there's no more water."
A pedestrian opened his kettle and poured it into his mouth, but couldn't pour out even a drop of water.
The top of the head was scorching hot, and the world in front of him was so hot that it was distorted.
His skinny body swayed, and then he fell to the ground that was so hot that it was like an iron baking pan, unconscious.
"Come on, come and help, someone fainted here!"
"Hurry up and pick him up, it's too hot on the ground, don't burn yourself ." "Bring
an umbrella over to cover it."
"He's suffering from heat stroke, water, who is it? Is there still water?"
"I have some cool oil here, so quickly wipe him."
...
When passers-by saw someone fainted, they immediately woke up from a state of being 'stupefied by the heat', and hurriedly held up Bring your own parasol and water bottle forward, shade the sun for the fainted person, feed the water, help the person, and rub the medicine.
Fortunately, the man's condition was not very serious, and the enthusiastic people around him took care of him in a timely manner, so he woke up soon.
"Thank you...Thank you everyone."
The fainted man stood up with the help of everyone. He quickly thanked him gratefully, and did not forget to say to the person who gave him water and rubbed medicine: "This water is the same as How much is the medicine, I'll give it back to you."
Now that water resources are precious, the price of water is skyrocketing, and the price of cooling oil such as cooling oil is too expensive, so he can't take advantage of others in vain.
"No need, just a little water."
"That's right, I didn't give you much for this medicine, so I don't need to give you money."
Everyone helps people out of enthusiasm, and naturally they won't charge those who are being helped.
After finishing speaking, they immediately dispersed for fear of being forcibly stuffed with money, so that the person who was helped could not catch anyone even if they wanted to, so they could only say thank you a few times with gratitude and helplessness.
This scene was captured in the eyes of Gu Mi, who received Kayana in a cafe on the side of the road.
Kayana saw it too, she smiled and said, "Your subjects are very kind."
"So this is what I want to protect."
It is now the end of July, and it is about to enter August.
The outdoor temperature is as high as 48C, which not only has no downward trend, but continues to rise. In addition, there has been no rainfall in the world for more than two months.
Not to mention that the water level of the river and lake has dropped to half of its original level, and even the water level of the salt lake in their territory has begun to drop.
Gu Mi no longer sells salt to the outside world.
Even if there is excess salt, she will save it, giving priority to supplying her own territory.
After all, the population of their territory now exceeds the 30 million mark, and the daily demand for salt is a big gap, but only one salt lake can make up for it.
Therefore, Gu Mi not only does not sell salt, she is already actively looking for channels to buy salt from outside.
Otherwise Kayana wouldn't be sitting in their territory now.
"Thank you, my dear friend, we have solved the sea monster you mentioned. Although we paid a lot of money, the result is gratifying. If it wasn't for your reminder, we would have Let it sleep until its evolution is completed, and after it wakes up, it will destroy the sea area, maybe our entire mercenary land will be destroyed, in order to thank you..."
"Stop, stop, stop!"
Gu Mi raised his hand to stop Kayana's unfinished business . With her words, she knew what she wanted to say. This master, who was richer than the rich and powerful territory and didn't take money at all, was grateful for that method.
Send money, send treasures, send large sums of money, the more you send, the more you can show the gratitude of the Queen of the Merman.
But Gu Mi couldn't take it back this time.
After receiving Kayana's thank you, their friendship with each other would be completely changed, and whether it was Hope Territory or Gu Mi herself was rich, she didn't need it at all.
If there is anything she needs, she is more willing to exchange it with the merpeople through a fair transaction, rather than wantonly taking people's treasures in the name of gratitude, even if people don't mind, but she does.
There is a bottom line to being a human being.
Regardless of whether the other person knows what your bottom line is.
"Kayana, you also said that we are close friends. If that's the case, then let's think about it. You know that there is an extremely terrifying danger lurking around your friend, and as long as you remind me, this danger will be advanced in advance. If it is eliminated, your friend will be safe, will you remind her?"
Gu Mi has known Kayana for a long time in his two lifetimes, so he knows how to communicate with her correctly and effectively.
Sure enough, upon hearing this, Kayana responded directly without thinking: "Of course, I will not only remind her, but also help her eliminate all dangerous existences in advance, and no one is allowed to hurt my friends!"
"Do you want to ask your friends for something in return after doing this?"
"No."
As soon as she finished speaking, Kayana knew what Gu Mi meant.
She blinked her beautiful golden eyes, trying to say something to refute what she just said: "But, this is different..."
"It's not different, whether it's me or you, facing the same thing, will make the same choice."
Gu Mi smiled, skipped the topic directly, and pushed the cookie that the waiter had just served to Kayana: "Try it, my friend, you should like this taste."
"This, Is it made of seaweed?"
Kayana picked up a tea-green cookie suspiciously and put it in her mouth, the sweetness with a hint of tea-like bitterness directly conquered even her, making her eyes light up.
"This is a matcha-flavored cookie. If you like it, you can pack some when you go back, but it's best to eat it before you go to the sea. The biscuits soaked in sea water are not delicious." Knowing that Kayana would definitely ask What is this, Gu Mi answered her directly.
As I said before, they didn't meet in the later period, not all for fighting and learning, and many times they would accompany each other to go shopping, buy clothes and eat delicious food in the neighboring land territory.
Just like an ordinary pair of best friends.
Among them, the matcha-flavored cookies are the most loved by Kayana, but unfortunately this cannot be brought into the sea for her to eat, which makes Kayana regret all the time.
Then they couldn't eat matcha-flavored cookies anymore.
It wasn't because something happened to Kayana and the sharks, but the pastry chef who could make matcha-flavored cookies died.
In the land area near the sea of sharks, only this pastry chef can make biscuits of this flavour, and there may be people in further areas who can make them, but they are no longer willing to go further afield to find them.
So this time, Gu Mi specially invited Kayana to meet at this coffee shop that sells matcha-flavored cookies, which was considered to make up for her regrets in her previous life.
Even if she didn't know it.
Laughing silently, Gu Mi waited patiently for Kayana to finish eating the entire cookie before talking to her about business.
First of all, of course, their territory ordered large quantities of salt, various seafood, seabed resources and other things from the merpeople.
Gu Mi knew that this hot natural disaster would not pass so easily.
Now they can maintain a stable life in their territory because she has made sufficient preparations in the early stage.
And not only did they prepare themselves, but Gu Mi also reminded other territories that were connected to their territory, so that they could prepare for disasters as soon as possible.
In fact, they do not need to be reminded.
Everyone is not stupid. When they realized that the situation was not right, the various territories began to prepare secretly.
But the stability in the early stage does not mean the same in the later stage.
Therefore, Gu Mi is also trying every means to raise materials that can survive this catastrophe, and ordering various submarine goods with the merpeople is one of the ways.
In fact, the seabed was also affected by this hot natural disaster.
But the impact is relatively small.
Therefore, all kinds of creatures living on the seabed, and the current life of each seabed territory are still living well.
Otherwise, Kayana wouldn't have the leisure to be invited to hope to be a guest in the territory at such a time, to visit her sister by the way, and to have a date with Gu Mi.
As soon as the two met, they ran into the depths of the forest and had a lively fight.
Now that we're done playing, we're back to rest together.
By the way, we talked about a deal.
The transaction negotiation took less than an hour to end, and both Gu Mi and Kayana were very satisfied with the outcome of the negotiation.
The Hope Territory has demand for the merpeople, and the merpeople naturally have plans for the Hope Territory.
They need equipment, weapons and potions produced in the Hope Territory, including some daily necessities that cannot be made under the sea.
"Someone's coming to pick you up."
Just after the two of them finished talking, Gu Mi saw Pei'er standing outside the cafe and looking inside.
She smiled and pointed outside, motioning Kayana to look over.
When Kayana turned her head and saw her sister coming, she couldn't help but show a happy smile.
She turned her head to say goodbye to Gu Mi, then got up and left in a hurry.
Through the glass window of the cafe, Gu Mi could see the backs of the two sisters hugging each other intimately and leaving hand in hand.
"so good."
She let out a small sigh, and suddenly had the idea of going home to take a look.
Do it when you think of it.
Gu Mi never suppressed his thoughts.
She got up to check out, and then teleported back home.
Since letting her parents know about her abilities, it has become commonplace for her to teleport around at home.
Therefore, when she suddenly saw her daughter appear in the living room, Jiang Zhixiu was no longer so easily frightened. She calmly turned over a page of the newspaper and asked her daughter, "What do you want to eat at night?"
"My dad is cooking . Or are you cooking?" Gu Mi asked cautiously first.
"It's been hot recently, and there are too many people going to the hospital to see a doctor. Your dad has to work overtime tonight and won't be back until 11:30 in the evening." Got
it.
"Then you wait at home, I'll go out to pack some food to come back?"
The mother and daughter are not good at cooking. Cooking at home is to harm each other. Under the conditions of choice, Gu Mi felt that there was no need to torture herself. own taste.
"Farewell, you finally came back, just leave it at home and rest for a while. Mom can go and buy it. Anyway, there is food for sale downstairs in our house. I will go back quickly, and it will be hot for a while."
Jiang Zhixiu was naturally reluctant to let her daughter, who had just come home from work, go out to experience the torture of the high temperature. She pressed the person on the sofa to blow the air conditioner, and she took the kettle and went out.
The sun is about to go down, there is no need to bring an umbrella, but the water in the kettle is a necessity, and it must not be less.
Being bored by Gu Mibai who was staying at home.
She simply reviewed the knowledge related to various refining tools in her mind. After these days of hard work, her refining master level has been unlocked to the intermediate level. As long as she unlocks it again and reaches the advanced level, she can unlock the treasure of the dwarf king.
There are many treasures in it that can be used in their territory. Not to mention, as far as the large quantities of various mineral veins are concerned, with them, their territory may not need to import various minerals from abroad in the future. Can produce enough ore.
But only if she can unlock the treasure of the Dwarf King.
If you can't open it, then it's useless to think more now.
Jiang Zhixiu went out to buy food and came back quickly, but within fifteen minutes, she came in with a pile of fragrant food and was sweating all over.
Hearing the movement at the entrance, Gu Mi immediately went up to meet him, and by the way, helped to get things.
"Mom, why did you buy so much?"
This amount is enough for five people to eat.
"I didn't think that when your dad came back from getting off work in the evening, he might be hungry. If he had to eat something, he would buy more." So what she bought was not only dinner for the mother and daughter, but also a late-night snack for their family of three.
"Okay."
Thinking that there is nothing to do tonight and can stay at home for one night, Gu Mi doesn't care.
