Jiang Yan briefly glanced at the news and took a deep breath.

Overnight, news of the global disaster of high temperatures and Blood Mosquitoes flooded the screens everywhere.

Even her previously posted apocalyptic warning in a quiet corner of the internet had made it to the trending searches, with many seeking the person who posted it.

Some called her a prophet.

But the phone card associated with that account had been cut into pieces and flushed down the toilet while she was overseas.

According to the news, the Blood Mosquitoes had started appearing around the world a few days ago.

But at that time their numbers were small, so most countries and regions imposed a media blackout.

Until today, when the Blood Mosquitoes seemed to hatch en masse all at once.

More and more humans fell victim to the Blood Mosquitoes, forcing officials from various countries to come to a consensus and make a public announcement.

These mutant mosquitoes not only have blood-sucking females, but the males suck blood too, and they primarily feed on humans.

Of course, like regular mosquitoes, those with Type O blood and those who emit stronger body odors are more likely to be targeted by these mosquitoes than other people.

In addition, these mosquitoes can resist extreme heat and cold, and their lifespan is three times longer than that of regular mosquitoes.

As to whether they carry pathogens or cause various adverse reactions, officials have not disclosed.

However, officials did mention that radioactive contaminants had been detected in the body of these mutant mosquitoes.

And as far as the discovered Blood Mosquitoes are concerned, the most numerous and varied are found in Japan.

Genetic tracing shows that these Blood Mosquitoes, which have suddenly appeared all over the world, are closely related to the first batch discovered near Japan's abandoned nuclear power plant.

From a scientific standpoint, the evolution and mutation of animals and plants cannot happen overnight.

This implies that Japan had likely started secretly discharging nuclear-contaminated water years ago, following the nuclear radiation incident.

Moreover, at the start of disasters, officials usually say things like "Stay calm and trust the authorities," and so on.

The sudden flood of information released today is highly unusual.

After all, such situations can easily cause public panic, malicious hoarding, and even worse impacts.

But the officials still announced it.

This could only mean that the situation was deteriorating far more than what she had seen or guessed.

Another piece of news was about the abnormal high temperatures around the globe.

The heat wave had started suddenly in the past two days, catching many off guard.

And since yesterday, temperatures worldwide have been steadily climbing without any sign of cooling down.

In some tropical areas, the temperature had soared to fifty or sixty degrees within just one day.

Officials urged people to stock up on food and water at home for the time being and to stay indoors or work from home if possible.

Do not go out unless necessary, and if you must go out, be sure to take full body protection.

As for schools, many places had already issued a last-minute notice to suspend classes and switch to online learning early this morning.

With the electricity grid overworked, officials selectively shut down some factories early in the morning, saying they wanted to prioritize residential electricity use.

The internet was awash with messages about the possible arrival of the apocalypse.

There were also reports of people stripping supermarkets bare of goods early in the morning.

Yet, those same supermarkets were orderly just the day before.

Of course, officials quickly dispatched personnel to some larger supermarkets and malls to assist with maintaining order.

Meanwhile, on Anming's local news chart, air conditioner installation orders spiked and topped the trending searches.

Compared to other places, the summer-cool winter-warm Anming had few people with air conditioning installed.

But just this morning, air conditioning installation calls were going off the hook.

After all, while there were many channels to buy air conditioners, there were only so many local installers.

Online discussions about the imminent apocalypse became increasingly prevalent, even many bloggers' live streams shifted to themes about apocalyptic survival.

Of course, there were also many gruesome photos of humans attacked by Blood Mosquitoes.

Jiang Yan suddenly realized she had returned home just in time.

Moreover, the news about the dual typhoons about to land in Japan also weighed on her heart.

Indeed, the apocalypse had arrived early!

And it came a month ahead of schedule!

No matter what, she had to wrap up the plans she had arranged today!

Otherwise, if she didn't go now, the temperature would only get higher, making it impossible to leave.

Jiang Yan rubbed her temples, then called an online taxi service to pick her up at Shallow Bay ahead of schedule.

The driver had also seen the news early in the morning and, considering the high temperature outside, was actually thinking of canceling.

He hadn't even driven out this morning, but couldn't resist as Jiang Yan offered him triple the price, so he hurriedly drove to Shallow Bay.

Jiang Yan had insulation clothes and an insulation helmet in her Space, and she also took a neck fan and put it around her neck. Fully armed, she finally left her home.

The entrance to her apartment and the gate of her community were temporarily sealed off, just like during the mask-wearing period.

The guards on duty said they received a notice early in the morning to prevent chaos due to hoarding of supplies and considered the high temperatures, so each household was only permitted one person to go out for supplies.

Anyone with exposed skin without mosquito protection measures was urged to return home.

Everyone else was required to stay inside.

And the common areas of each apartment building and corners susceptible to Blood Mosquito entry had been blocked off by property management.

Thanks to the experience accumulated during the mask-wearing period, her normally average property management responded rather quickly.

Seeing Jiang Yan's fully armored and odd appearance, several guards were surprised for a few seconds.

Jiang Yan got a pass to leave the community.

The driver picked her up and quickly drove to the warehouse address.

On the road, the entire city seemed to have hit pause overnight, with few people and cars outside.

Water trucks constantly sprayed mist on the roads.

But the mist did little to cool them down.

Occasionally, fire trucks and police cars whizzed by, their sirens blaring.

These were the most admirable and res

pectable individuals during critical periods.

Especially under today's special circumstances.

After Jiang Yan arrived at the warehouse, she let the driver leave.

Taking advantage of the fact that the supplier's goods hadn't arrived yet, she took out a pile of photovoltaic solar panels from her Space.
