Chapter 1164
"It's so uncomfortable without air conditioning in this weather," Zhong Tiyun said with a hint of helplessness, wiping the sweat from her face.
The outside temperature was already high, and the poor ventilation inside the fortress made it even more stifling and unbearable, with everyone drenched in sweat.
Zhou Shuwan looked at her family's tired faces and a thought struck her.
Because the mothership always had a well-maintained electrical system, she almost forgot about the ice blocks stored in its space.
She took out two large, square blocks of ice and placed them directly on the ground.
Soon, the surrounding temperature dropped significantly.
A wisp of cool air emanated, dispelling the stuffiness and bringing a refreshing feeling.
Zhong Tiyun breathed a long sigh of relief, feeling much easier to breathe: "With Wanwan around, our lives are so much more convenient!"
That way, even if the power goes out temporarily, their family won't have to worry about it being too hot.
Zhou Jianghai and Zhong Tiyun are getting older, and half of their hair has turned gray.
Although the survivors have adapted well to the extreme weather and their physical fitness has improved significantly.
However, given Zhou Jianghai and Zhong Tiyun's age, there are still concerns that they might suffer from heatstroke.
Zhou Jianghai smiled and said, "We still need to be careful and not let others find out."
At this time, without electricity or weapons, they could not explain the origin of the ice.
Zhou Shuwan nodded: "Dad, Mom, to make it easier for us to rest, we'll be staying in two separate rooms for the next few days. Xiaoyu and I will share one room, and you and Mumu will share the other."
Zhong Tiyun nodded in agreement: "That's right, this way we can save some ice! We use quite a lot every day!"
Zhou Shuwan placed ice in both rooms and would quietly replace it every now and then to ensure that the room temperature remained within a comfortable range.
To prevent others from discovering the secret of the ice, they minimized the number of times they went out.
Fortunately, everyone is busy repairing the fortress and treating the wounded, so few people visit each other's homes, and no one has noticed anything unusual about their house.
After settling in, Zhou Shuwan thought of Zhipeng and Yuxuan, so she and Zhong Tiyun went to visit them at their residence.
Zhipeng and Yuxuan's little house was not far away, and the two were resting on the edge of the bed.
Although Zhipeng was burned, the redness and swelling subsided quickly, and he was fine.
Yu Xuan's complexion regained some color, and when she saw Zhou Shuwan and Zhong Tiyun come in, a grateful smile appeared on her face.
"Auntie, Sister Wanwan, you've arrived."
"How are you feeling? Are you feeling any better?" Zhou Shuwan walked to the bedside and asked with concern.
"I feel much better." Yuxuan nodded. "Thanks to my brother-in-law, otherwise I really might not have made it."
"No need to thank me. Since I saw you, it's only right for relatives to lend a hand." Zhong Tiyun patted Yuxuan's hand and then asked Zhipeng, "Zhipeng, how's your injury? Has the doctor seen you?"
“I’ve seen it,” Zhipeng nodded. “The doctor said it’s nothing serious. Many of us are in the same situation; we just get burned by seawater and will be fine after a few days of rest.”
Zhong Tiyun specially brought some rice and a few eggs.
She placed the items on the table and said, "Take these things, replenish your nutrition, and take good care of your injuries. If you need anything, just let us know."
Zhipeng and Yuxuan couldn't refuse, so they had no choice but to accept it.
After chatting for a while, seeing that the two were both a little tired, Zhou Shuwan and Zhong Tiyun didn't want to disturb them any longer and got up to say goodbye.
Back in her little house, Zhou Shuwan breathed a sigh of relief.
Everything is slowly getting better. My family is safe and sound, my friends and relatives are all well, and I can continue to live in the fortress. This is the best possible outcome.
However, to her surprise, the unusual situation in their home was discovered.
It was Xiao Sheng who noticed the anomaly.
Xiao Sheng lived with Tao Zheng and Zhang Jia; their small house was two rooms away from Zhou Shuwan's house.
