Bab 94: Chapter 94: An Expendable Cousin

In the sweltering afternoon, Yan Xiao lay on a bamboo lounge chair, lounging as he fanned himself with a banana leaf.

The weather was becoming increasingly abnormal. At night it hovered around twenty degrees, but during the day it soared close to forty. Perhaps it was the heat, but there hadn't been many missions lately. Even the military seemed quiet, so Yan Xiao, Xiao Jian, and Bai Kairui had also become idle.

Although there was air conditioning at home, it required installation and was too conspicuous; being seen using it wouldn't be easy to explain. So, they just took a few electric fans from their space to cool off. Even then, they couldn't use the fans whenever they wanted because as more people moved into the base, electricity was rationed. It used to be twelve hours of power from seven in the morning to seven at night, now it was only from ten to six, just eight hours. There were rumors that this time would be reduced further.
