The eyes watching them were still there, but the number had reduced significantly. It turned out Chu Miao's speculation was right. These people were suspecting them of having a way to store supplies.

They had collected a significant amount of crystals from killing zombies in various locations and had finally decided to rest at home.

The real reason they had stopped going out to hunt zombies was because the temperatures that had been hovering around 35-38° had shot up to 45° overnight.

They woke up to an atmosphere that could cook an egg.

Even the Chu family members, who had spiritual power and could use it to protect themselves, were uncomfortable with the heat.

Moreover, even though they had spiritual power, they couldn't use it to cool themselves constantly because it was limited.

Also, they have to get used to the changes in the weather, otherwise they won't be able to adapt.

Mother Chu had used the constant temperature fabric she had bought from her friend to make each member of the family two sets of bodysuits.

They could wear it inside their normal light summer clothes.

Because they had been cultivating diligently in the space and drinking the spiritual spring water, their cultivation had improved significantly.

Chu Miao even took out a bowl of demonic beast meat from the ancient space ring warehouse, and everyone at least had a piece of meat.

It was filled with so much energy that they could no longer suppress their cultivation and broke through.

Chu Miao was now at the early stages of Qi level three, Chu Hao was at the peak of level two, her grandfather had fallen a little behind and was at the late stage of Qi level two, Chu Mo and the butler were at Qi level two mid-stage, and mother Chu was at the early stage Qi level two.

None of them were weak. Also, after absorbing crystal cores while cultivating, all six of them had advanced to the second level of their superpower.

Now they had more energy stored and their attacks were more lethal.

Just as Grandpa Chu had speculated, the fog had not appeared again. It was not a bad thing because the zombies were no longer evolving every day.

Now, zombies that are stronger than others are scarce, and those that have managed to mutate have done so by eating other zombies with crystal cores or humans with superpowers.

They had not personally seen one, but they had received information from Ye Xuan, who had gone out with his team, that some zombies had advanced and become level-one mutated zombies.

Ye Xuan had been suppressing his superpower to stop himself from advancing for almost two weeks, but he was finally forced to advance so that he could save his teammates who were in danger fighting that level-one zombie.

Luckily, his foundation had solidified a long time ago, and advancing wouldn't affect him at all. That was why he was able to advance in the middle of a battle instead of doing so in a quiet environment.

After Grandpa Chu's tirade to Grandpa Li, his message had been passed across, and the president had personally held a press conference to urge citizens to arm themselves and fight zombies. Otherwise, humanity will perish.

Many had heard his words and left their houses to go out and kill zombies while scavenging supplies.

The first wave of people were inexperienced and the zombies had already become somewhat strong. As a result, many people become zombie food, and others turn into zombies.

This scared the others so much that they went back to locking themselves up again. But they realized that no one would come to rescue them and had to pick up their courage and go out to fight. Otherwise, they would starve to death in their houses.

Within two days, many had adapted and could kill zombies with some effort while working together.

Chu Miao was appreciative of her countrymen because when they hit a wall, they knew how to band together and face a common enemy.

She just didn't know how long such alliances would last. Once the real scarcity of supplies sets in, things might turn ugly.

Now, the building manager of their building has sent a message to the homeowners group to tell them that there will be power rationing from 9.00am- 6.00pm every day.

The reason given was that the temperatures had risen too high and there was a risk of fire. In fact, many areas around the country with old wiring systems no longer had power because the cables either caught fire or malfunctioned.

Since their building wasn't old, the wiring was top notch but they still had to take precautions.

This didn't sit well with some people as they relied on electricity to run the air conditioner and cool down in this extremely hot weather.

Complaints could be seen in the group chat.

0301: Why should the electricity be cut off just because it's hot? It's not like anything has happened.

0402: The building manager is taking advantage of his position to oppress us. We are dying of heat and without air conditioning, how are we going to survive?

0801: At least you are adults. You can hold on; I have a five-year-old child who is already crying his eyes out from the heat, even with air conditioning. What will happen without it?

1201: Instead of complaining about a decision that will obviously not change, why not go out and buy solar panels and install them in your unit to take advantage of all this sun and generate electricity to use with your air conditioner?

0802: 1201 has a good point. Complaining won't achieve anything. If the manager wanted our opinion he would have asked instead of simply informing us. So, it's better to rely on ourselves.

0801: I can only do that. After all, with this kind of heat and the temperature still rising, who knows what will happen next.

Manager: The decision to cut power came from above, I didn't make it and was also informed. Those who are capable should go get solar panels or generators to supplement their electricity consumption.
