149: Chapter 149 Qin Lin, that kid, has really good stamina.

Sunlight spilled through the vehicle windows into the RV, landing on the living room floor.

Today's temperature felt a bit off.

Qin Lin stood in the Drivers Cabin, staring at the jumping numbers on the dashboard, his brow furrowing slightly.

【Outside Temperature: 3°C】

【Outside Temperature: 8°C】

【Outside Temperature: 15°C】

【Outside Temperature: 22°C】

In just two short hours, the temperature had soared from below zero to over twenty degrees.

And it was still rising.

“System, what's going on?” Qin Lin asked.

【Abrupt climate change detected】

【extreme cold zones are rapidly shrinking; extreme heat zones and other disaster zones are forming】

【Estimated that within the next 24 hours, local temperatures will reach above 35°C】

【Suggestion: Activate the vehicle's internal constant temperature system and reduce outdoor activities】

Qin Lin took a deep breath.

Sure enough, what was bound to come had arrived.

He pulled up the System interface and confirmed that the RV's constant temperature system was functioning normally.

A Lv4 RV could withstand extreme temperature differences from -100°C to +100°C; the current temperature change was still within a controllable range.

But those survivors outside the vehicle...

Qin Lin shook his head, thinking no more of it.

He couldn't save everyone.

“Other disaster zones? Are there any normal areas suitable for human survival?”

【Survival is possible in some areas, but there are no crystal stones; entering with the RV is not recommended】

“That's alright then.”

Qin Lin was truly worried the entire world would become a disaster zone.

Since there were places suitable for survival, he didn't have to worry about much.

In the living room, everyone had also noticed the anomaly.

“Why did it suddenly get so hot?”

Han Yurou leaned against the window, watching the ice and snow outside melt rapidly.

“It was still below zero this morning!”

“Climate mutation.”

Su Yuran walked over and stood beside Qin Lin.

“We've entered an extreme heat zone.”

These were things Qin Lin had told her.

Han Qing came out of the Medical Room, her expression grave.

“This kind of temperature change is very harmful to the human body. Many people have just survived the extreme cold and haven't recovered yet, and now they have to face high temperatures.”

“Fortunately, we have the RV.”

Lin Wanwan said softly, her hand placed on her slightly bulging lower abdomen.

Xu Xue also nodded, subconsciously touching her belly.

Li Ying leaned back on the sofa, crossing her legs.

“So, this RV is the real Ark.”

“We can live our lives here in peace.”

Su Yuran glanced at her and said nothing.

But in her heart, she agreed.

“Although the RV can withstand high temperatures, upgrading is still necessary.”

“Lv4 can handle ±100°C, but no one knows how high the extreme heat will go. If the temperature continues to rise and exceeds the RV's endurance range, we'll be in danger.”

“Then what should we do?” Han Yurou asked nervously.

“Keep upgrading. Lv5 has stronger environmental adaptability and can even unlock cross-world navigation functions. Only then will we be truly safe.”

Su Yuran took up the conversation: “So, the missions must continue, and we must keep collecting crystal stones whenever possible.”

She looked at everyone, her gaze sweeping across each face.

“Upgrading the RV requires everyone's effort.”

Li Ying smiled: “Yuran, you don't need to give us a pep talk; everyone understands.”

“As long as you understand.” Su Yuran nodded.

Everyone dispersed.

Han Qing pulled Han Yurou back to Bedroom No. 003, Xu Xue went back to bedroom no. 004, and Li Ying followed her.

She stayed with Xu Xue.

Su Yuran sat in the living room, looking at the scenery outside.

The speed at which the ice and snow melted was astonishing. The originally vast white world gradually revealed gray-brown earth.

Withered vegetation emerged from under the meltwater; the whole scene looked like winter turning to spring.

But this was not spring.

This was the beginning of another kind of death.

Night fell.

The lights in the RV went out one after another, leaving only the night lights in the corridor still glowing.

Qin Lin lay on the bed in Bedroom No. 000, tossing and turning, unable to sleep.

After his Physique was upgraded to 'Advanced Energetic', his desires had clearly become stronger.

Over the past few days, because her daughter was pestering her, Han Qing rarely came over, and he could only endure it himself.

With the sudden temperature change tonight, he felt a bit restless and was even less able to sleep.

“Aunt Qing probably won't come tonight.”

He knew Han Yurou had been sleeping with her mother every day lately.

Han Qing simply couldn't get away.

Qin Lin sat up, leaning against the headboard.

Should he go find someone else?

He hesitated for a few seconds but still got out of bed.

He threw on a coat and walked out of the bedroom.

The corridor was very quiet.

He walked to the door of bedroom no. 004 and raised his hand to knock.

The inside of the room was quiet for a few seconds, then came the sound of light footsteps.

The door opened a crack, and Li Ying poked half her head out. Seeing him, the corners of her mouth curled into a smile.

“Oh, Brother Qin Lin? What, did you miss your big sister tonight?”

Qin Lin looked at her.

Li Ying was wearing a black camisole nightdress with a very low neckline, revealing her fair collarbones and a patch of soft skin.

Her hair was draped lazily over her shoulders, and her face carried a languid expression that still exuded a deliberate charm.

“I couldn't sleep, so I wanted to come chat with you guys.”

“Us?” Li Ying raised an eyebrow. “Xu Xue and me?”

“Yeah.”

Li Ying laughed, sounding very pleased.

She glanced back and then pulled the door open.

“Come on in.”

Qin Lin slipped inside, and Li Ying closed the door.

bedroom no. 004 was a double room with two beds side-by-side against the wall.

At that moment, on the bed by the window, Xu Xue was sitting up, covering her body with the quilt, her face flushed red.

“Qin... Qin Lin...” she called him in a small voice.

Qin Lin walked over and sat on the edge of the bed.

“Don't be nervous, I just came to see you.”

“To see us? Or to look for help?”

Li Ying walked over and sat down, crossing her legs.

“Sure, I happen to be bored too.”

She looked at Xu Xue: “Sister Xu Xue, what about you?”

Xu Xue's face turned even redder, but she still nodded gently.

“I've been waiting for this day for a long time.”

Three people, two beds, and dim yellow light.

...

A long time later.

Qin Lin left bedroom no. 004.

The corridor was very quiet, with only the night light of the ecological box still on.

The 'Advanced Energetic' Physique was indeed impressive; after tossing around for so long, he wasn't tired at all.

Instead, he felt even more refreshed.

...

“It was... alright...”

“Stop talking.”

Li Ying laughed even more happily.

“Alright, alright, I'll stop.”

She rolled over and looked at the ceiling.

“But seriously, that kid Qin Lin, his stamina is really good.”
