There are only three days until New Year's Day. One year ends and a new one begins.

If it were this time in previous years, the city would have been decorated with lights and colorful lights everywhere, full of festive atmosphere.

But now the sun is high in the sky, the streets are empty, the asphalt roads melted by the high temperature exude a pungent smell, a large number of vehicles exposed to the sun spontaneously ignite every day, and the sound of explosions is deafening...

Expensive prices have started to discourage ordinary working people. Small and medium-sized supermarkets have long been closed, and the opening hours of large supermarkets are getting shorter and shorter.

Those who can't afford it, and those who can't afford it, try their best to survive. Those who have no choice but to start stealing, robbing, and even killing people...

Vicious incidents occurred frequently in a short period of time, and the city government organized a large number of police patrols.

Even so, at twelve o'clock in the evening on New Year's Eve, a large-scale riot broke out in a large supermarket in Yuhua District, City A, resulting in numerous casualties and almost all the products in the supermarket were looted.

Only some of these products were stolen by the thugs, and most of the others were stolen by the crowd after the thugs left.

The consequence of this was that the few large supermarkets that were open were in danger, and many of them were closed the next day.

The government finally dispatched the army to arrest the thugs, suppress the riots, and directly kill those who dared to resist.

Now when Zhao Xi goes out to queue at the supermarket at night, he can see soldiers patrolling with guns and live ammunition and wearing camouflage uniforms.

Under the threat of death, the crime rate in City A finally dropped significantly.

However, such high temperatures have forced power rationing, which has led to the death of many humans. The number of deaths reported in the news every day continues to increase.

The area where Zhao Xi is currently using electricity is from 11 noon to 5 p.m., six hours a day. Yes, the power limit time has been extended again.

At 11 o'clock at noon, as soon as the power came on, Zhao Xi ended his exercise. He returned from the RV space to the hot house, and immediately turned on the air conditioner in the room.

When the room finally cooled down, Zhao Xi took out an orange, skinny little kitten from the RV.

"Meow~"

After a change of environment, the little cat only opened its eyes slightly, nestled in Zhao Xi's arms, meowed softly, stretched out its pink tongue and licked Zhao Xi's fingers.

Based on the color of the kitten, Zhao Xi gave the kitten a non-technical name - Xiaoju.

This little guy must have been born for more than a month. Zhao Xi dug it out of a litter of cat corpses yesterday.

It was also his luck that the female cat's screams before she died attracted Zhao Xi.

When Zhao Xi passed by with a flashlight, what she saw was the dying big cat, and six or seven little kittens standing stiffly beside her. They looked dead at first glance.

Seeing Zhao Xi, the big cat seemed to have breathed its last breath. The cat's eyes looked at Zhao Xi hopefully, and finally looked in the direction of the child, closed its eyes, and stopped breathing.

Zhao Xi sighed, and finally turned away without ignoring it.

Seeing no one around, she put down what she was holding. She took out a small shovel from the RV space and prepared to bury the big cat and its kittens.

The high temperature made the soil harden, and Zhao Xi spent a lot of effort to dig a small hole in the soil. She put the skinny big cat in first, and then the little milk cat beside her.

The orange was the last one that Zhao Xi was going to put in. When Zhao Xi picked it up, he unexpectedly found that the little guy's body was still warm.
