In her previous life, she was fine. She worked hard for a top team and enjoyed the benefit of air conditioning.
An hour later, the carriage became hotter and hotter, like a steamer.
Xu Qian turned on the air conditioner, intending to open a window for fresh air.
Upon opening it, she found the outside temperature to be even hotter than the inside.
Xu Qian narrowed her eyes slightly. How could the temperature rise so quickly in just an hour?
The sports car had air conditioning, and the temperature inside gradually dropped, yet it remained very hot.
She had to speed up.
Four hours later, objects that were easily meltable by the roadside had begun to melt. The ground temperature reached a scorching 70 degrees Celsius.
"Beep, beep, beep..."
The car had been warning her about tire issues, but she couldn't afford not to drive.
Walking would be even worse than driving.
The worst-case scenario now was burning through a car, and she had plenty of cars in her space, so she wasn't afraid of the wear and tear.
Xu Qian glanced at her watch; it was already 8 PM.
The extreme heat meant 24 hours without darkness, only relentless sunshine.
Xu Lü had been circling around the perimeter as she instructed, too afraid to venture further.
From afar, a boy wearing a helmet could be seen hopping around on the scorching ground.
Xu Qian rolled down the car window, and a gust of hot air rushed in, making it hard to breathe.
She narrowed her eyes and called out, "Xiao Lü, get in the car."
The boy froze for a moment, then quickly opened the car door and got in.
As soon as he was inside, he swiftly removed his helmet and shoes. His brown hair was completely soaked, the soles of his shoes had melted, and his feet were covered in blisters that quickly healed on their own.
Xu Qian glanced at him and instructed, "Xiao Lü, if you feel uncomfortable next time, just come inside."
Xu Lü's eyes were teary. He softly said, "Sister, I was afraid you wouldn't be able to find me."
Her brow relaxed, and her heart softened.
"No matter where you are, if I want to find you, I will find you. Don't worry."
"Mmm... Sister, why is it so hot outside?"
Xu Qian looked up at the sky and sighed, "A natural disaster. Let's find a place to rest first."
[Ding, Sub-mission Forced Quest has been activated. Please help 20 small bases overcome the extreme heat crisis within 48 hours. Reward: 5000 points.]
Xu Qian: ...
[System, do I have four hands and eight legs?]
She had to court men, destroy bases, and now complete sub-mission quests.
Her head was spinning.
[Ding, Host, the system will grant you two permanent heat-resistant suits, and your space is equipped with an automatic ice-making machine. You only need to distribute ice to various bases.]
The system's prompt instantly doused Xu Qian's anger. Heat-resistant suits and ice were excellent.
At least it would make things a bit easier for now.
[Are there any specific bases I need to go to?]
[Ding, any bases within G Province are acceptable.]
[Give me the items.] This was a forced mission; she had to do it whether she wanted to or not.
[Ding, the heat-resistant suits are in your backpack, and the non-melting ice-making machine is currently running in your space.]
[Ice that won't melt?]
[Ding, yes.]
Xu Qian sent a wisp of her spiritual energy into her space. She saw a small wooden house appear on the right side of the warehouse, with an ice-making machine inside, spitting out large blocks of ice.
Next, she opened the map. All the bases in G Province were marked with red flags. Looking at the entire map, there were more than 20 bases.
The closest base to F City was Feiteng.
Xu Qian narrowed her eyes slightly. Li Ping, it had been so long.
She turned the steering wheel to prepare to turn around.
With a "bang," the tire pressure of all four tires dropped to 0.
This was followed by a screeching sound. Xu Lü quickly grabbed the steering wheel to stabilize the car.
"Sister, are you okay?"
Xu Qian's expression remained unchanged, and she shook her head, "I'm fine."
[System, can you also send a heat-resistant vehicle?]
