84: Chapter 84 This car was driven recklessly.

Compared to those who died in the sudden temperature spike, those who survived suffered even more.

Because the world awaiting the survivors would be even more brutal.

If the initial torrential rain was just a prelude, then the world to come was the real beginning.

The hellish mode of natural disasters had already embarked on its journey.

When Ye Qingqing woke up the next day, all the ice buckets around her had completely melted into water.

The temperature inside the RV wasn't high, but it wasn't low either.

She was drenched all over, as if she had just been fished out of water.

Ye Qingqing's head was also dizzy and heavy.

The sudden high temperature made Ye Qingqing's body unable to cope for a while; her high fever turned into a low-grade fever.

Although she felt unwell, she could move with difficulty.

However, compared to Ye Qingqing, Ah Huang was in the worst condition.

Ye Qingqing got up from the floor of the RV and called out to Ah Huang.

But she found Ah Huang gave no response.

If it weren't for the warmth coming from Ah Huang's body and the slight rise and fall of his chest.

Ye Qingqing would have truly suspected that Ah Huang had kicked the bucket.

But fortunately, Ah Huang was just unconscious; his dog life was still intact.

Ye Qingqing took another fever-reducing pill from her space, swallowed it with water, and then forced a pill into Ah Huang's mouth.

Ye Qingqing couldn't lift Ah Huang, so she took a dog bed out of her space and placed it beside him, hoping that when Ah Huang woke up dazedly, he would know to climb onto it.

As for herself, Ye Qingqing put the buckets that now only contained water into the refrigerator.

Then she took a fan out of her space to cool down the RV.

Ye Qingqing checked the temperature inside the RV; it showed 39 degrees Celsius.

Because of the fresh air system, it wasn't too stuffy, just a bit hot at most.

Ye Qingqing glanced outside the RV.

Overnight, the tree branches that once held some vitality had turned into dry sticks.

Cracks suddenly appeared crisscrossing the ground.

The earth seemed to have been torn open and split apart.

The land was pitted and bumpy, looking somewhat terrifying.

Even more frightening was the bright sunlight outside; one glance was enough to make Ye Qingqing's eyes sting, almost blinding her.

Ye Qingqing clearly remembered that in her previous life, the highest outdoor temperature was 80 degrees Celsius.

Without any protective measures, if a human went outside directly, they would be cooked.

The current temperature hadn't reached 80°C yet.

But Ye Qingqing estimated it was probably around 50°C.

And this was still the morning; by noon, the temperature would climb even higher.

As for the time in her space, after the recent spending and usage.

Only 3 hours remained.

In the past two days, after the sun's temperature rose, Ye Qingqing and Ah Huang hiding in the space was no problem.

But after that... it would be very dangerous.

Ye Qingqing's expression turned serious. Before the sun's temperature got too high, she needed to quickly find a place to take shelter.

But when Ye Qingqing looked at Ah Huang again, she felt something was wrong with him.

If it were just an ordinary heatstroke or fever, he shouldn't have slept this long.

Moreover, Ah Huang at this moment seemed as if he was about to pass out.

He didn't dare move at all. Ye Qingqing went to check on him and found him lying in place, sweating profusely all over, his body extremely weak.

But right then, Ye Qingqing suddenly heard a rustling noise outside. Looking through the window, she saw dense clusters of heads appearing in the distance.

Ye Qingqing's heart sank, thinking 'not good.' She immediately took out binoculars from her space to observe the situation outside the RV.

However, when Ye Qingqing picked up the binoculars, her heart skipped a beat in shock.

Because all those heads in the distance were zombies, and they were densely packed.

At this point, getting out of the RV to switch to a more maneuverable off-road vehicle was no longer feasible.

Not only was the temperature outside the RV high, but also, in the time it would take to switch, the zombies would have already arrived.

Ye Qingqing quickly reacted, immediately rushing to the driver's seat. She stepped on the gas, and the RV immediately started moving.

Ye Qingqing had initially thought the RV might have become sluggish from staying in the space for so long.

But she didn't expect it to lurch forward the moment she gave it gas.

The strong sense of being pushed back into the seat caught Ye Qingqing off guard for a moment.

But fortunately, given the surrounding conditions with no obstacles, even if Ye Qingqing drove recklessly, it didn't matter.

The zombies around were increasing, which made a wave of surprise rise in Ye Qingqing's heart.

Originally, she was on a hillside.

Now, these zombies were swarming up the hillside towards the location of Ye Qingqing's RV.

These zombies each revealed pitch-black, gaping mouths, their entire bodies covered in a grayish-blue hue.

They were somewhat different from the zombies seen in movies before.

Because movie zombies have red blood, but in reality, zombie blood is black.

Apart from that, after enduring wind and sun during this period, these zombies had become tattered all over.

Previously, Ye Qingqing had only glimpsed them from the air; it had been a long time since she observed zombies up close.

As these zombies surged towards Ye Qingqing's RV, she saw some zombies even had sections of black intestines, containing broken limbs and flesh, protruding from their bellies.

Along with the black fat covering those black intestines.

Ye Qingqing felt a violent churning in her stomach.

As if she was about to vomit the next second.

Originally, with her head feeling dizzy and heavy, Ye Qingqing just wanted to leisurely find a place to take shelter.

But she didn't expect to encounter a zombie horde.

Ye Qingqing also didn't understand why these zombies were rushing in her direction.

Clearly last night, the RV had been parked here for so long, and no zombies attacked.

But come morning, zombies appeared.

A trace of doubt surfaced in Ye Qingqing's heart.

But she couldn't think too clearly about it.

Because fleeing for her life was the urgent matter at hand now.

The RV was very inconvenient to drive on the road. Originally, the ground was pitted with puddles, soaked very wet by the continuous rain.

Now, under the sun's exposure, the surface soil had all turned into dusty dirt. The RV's weight and volume were too great.

While driving on it, Ye Qingqing only felt the RV shaking violently.

At the same time, she could feel the RV pressing out a lot of dusty dirt from the ground.

Because from the rearview mirror, Ye Qingqing saw that the road behind the RV had turned into a sky full of Ah Huang sand.

For a moment, she could even barely see the zombies following behind the RV.

As Ye Qingqing drove down from the hillside, she was shocked to discover that these zombies were forming an encircling posture, surging up from all around the hillside.
