Reborn in the end of the world, I scavenged in the empty city and bought for free

The next natural disaster...

Yan Fan was greatly shocked at this moment. Why didn't he think of this possibility?

But he couldn't help but continue asking: "What will the next natural disaster be and when will it come?"

"It should be soon. According to the current rate of cooling, it may be in three days, or two days." Gu Tongwan couldn't help but stroke the back of her hand, feeling that the blood vines underneath had completely calmed down, but the uneasiness deep in her heart was still spreading.

"If there is another natural disaster, the base will not sit idly by. As far as I know, we were helpless in the previous natural disasters because we were not prepared. However, the various measures taken by the government after the extreme heat this time have shown that humans have mastered the emergency measures after the natural disaster, so I think this matter may not be as serious as we imagined."

"Maybe. I hope it will be true then."

In fact, what Yan Fan said was indeed true. From the heavy rains and floods three years ago to the extreme heat and cold that followed, and even acid rain and major earthquakes, humans have survived them all. Major bases have also formulated various plans and measures for the upcoming natural disasters.

According to the only S-level "prophet" psychic in the world, humans will still experience various hardships and occasional natural disasters in the next fifty years, but the frequency of "big earthquakes" among these natural disasters will decrease and will only occur locally. What we still need to pay attention to are weather-related natural disasters.

It is said that all the natural disasters predicted by this "prophet" have come true one by one, but because of her special powers, she can only make a prediction about the future once a year, and each time she uses this power, her aging and death will be accelerated. Before the last extreme heat came, this person could only predict three days in advance that the global temperature would gradually rise to 70 degrees, but there were still differences in each region and between the southern and northern hemispheres. Although the prediction is accurate, its coverage may not be global.

It is said that our country once invited this "prophet" to come to the country to make predictions, but unfortunately he was rejected due to physical reasons. Due to excessive use of her supernatural powers, this "prophet" has grown from a girl in her early twenties to about forty years old, and her various bodily functions are declining. If she continues to use her supernatural powers, she may not live for too long. At present, unless it is a matter related to the life and death of mankind, this "prophet" will not easily use his supernatural powers.

Gu Tongwan was quite shocked when she heard about it. After all, in her previous life, she had never heard of the "prophet" who had the ability to peek into the future. But thinking about the various butterfly effects that appeared in this life, perhaps everything will change, and this "prophet" is also a point of change.

However, it is precisely because of the prophecy of this "prophet" that several powerful countries in the world, including China, are planning to start the construction of the "underground city".

Because it is certain that natural disasters will not involve major earthquakes in the next few decades, and even if there are, they will be in earthquake zones, major countries will choose to invest manpower and material resources in bases in non-earthquake zones to excavate and build underground cities.

"Sister Wanwan, if the extreme heat is really over, then what will the next natural disaster be?" Yan Fan is still a seventeen-year-old child after all, and he doesn't think as comprehensively as Gu Tongwan. He can guess that the next natural disaster may occur soon, but he cannot predict what kind of disaster it will be.

"It's not clear yet, but you should move back to the first floor for the time being. It will be more convenient if anything really happens." Gu Tongwan said to him in an inquiring tone.

Yan Fan pursed his lips and finally nodded: "I understand, I'll pack up in a moment." If there really is another natural disaster, it would be more convenient to live on the first floor.

"By the way, just in case, go to the supply and marketing cooperative in the morning and buy whatever you can. You can stock up more during this period. I'll transfer money to your card later."

In fact, she had enough supplies in her space, and at present, she would not starve to death even if she stayed at home for decades. But now there was still a Yan Fan in the house, and she couldn't always take out various supplies, so this time she asked Yan Fan to go out and stock up on goods entirely for him.

After thinking it over, Gu Tongwan continued, "I will also go out later. I will go to my friend's orchard to get some fruits and vegetables, just in case. By the way, I will leave the car with him when the time comes."

I still don’t know what type of natural disaster will happen next, so I feel unsafe leaving the car outside. It would be too abrupt to put it directly into the space, so I can only find this excuse in advance. As for the electric car, it can be placed on the first floor, which is more convenient.

After the two of them talked, Gu Tongwan returned to the second floor. At this time, only one air conditioner in the living room on the second floor needed to be turned on, and the air conditioner in the room was adjusted back to 24 degrees.

After a short rest, at 8:10 in the morning, Gu Tongwan took two sandwiches and went downstairs. The two of them had a simple breakfast before going out.

Yan Fan went out by electric car, and Gu Tongwan also prepared two large eco-friendly bags for him in advance. The supplies in two bags could last him at least twenty days. In addition to some dry food, he could buy another batch tomorrow morning to ensure at least a month's supply.

The temperature drop was noticed by most people by around eight in the morning. The first and most intuitive feeling was that even when walking outdoors in the sun, there was no burning sensation.

Around 8:30 in the morning, the outdoor temperature remained at around 45 degrees. Unlike the usual time when the temperature would rise to 50 degrees at 8:30, the temperature today had indeed dropped a lot.

So around ten o'clock in the morning, various official reports with the title "Cooling Down" and various discussion posts began to appear on the base forum.

Gu Tongwan actually drove to Liao Yunyun's place. He had agreed to give her a rattan chair that was temporarily unused at home. It seemed that she had given the previous one to a colleague whose family was in financial difficulty.

I haven't seen Liao Yunyun for almost a month. She seems to have become a little darker, but other than that, there is no major problem with her health.

While reaching out to take the rattan chair that Gu Tongwan brought, he began to mutter, "You're finally here. I've been squatting to eat recently because the coffee table is too low. I'm worried about dirtying the sofa cover if I sit on the sofa to eat. Now I finally have a chair."

Previously, she went to a colleague's house to get documents and found out that not only did the other person live in the outer circle, but he had to support five people with just one person's salary. Her husband went to the underground city and only came back once every few months. When eating at home, everyone could only use a few pieces of cardboard on the ground as temporary chairs.

Unable to bear it any longer, Liao Yunyun gave the only three chairs in her home to her colleagues.

In fact, she has tried her best to be more indifferent after the end of the world, but that colleague took good care of herself at work, and her child at home was only three years old, and was born just after the end of the world, so he can be said to have caught up with this unfortunate era.

Liao Yunyun is a typical person with a sharp tongue but a soft heart. There is indeed no chair next to the empty coffee table in her house.

"By the way, the temperature seems to have dropped a bit today. Our company said we should observe it for a few more days. If the temperature stabilizes later, we will be allowed to go back to work."

"Then your company is doing pretty well. I heard that many companies have recently let their employees go back to work."

On the way here, I noticed that there were many more people on the street. I guess they all took advantage of the drop in temperature to go out. Some of them were walking towards the commercial district. Judging from their clothes, they should be employees of the nearby office buildings.

Liao Yunyun curled up on the sofa, turning the battery-powered fan to medium speed, and sneered, "We can't help it. The company's losses are too severe. If we call people back as soon as the temperature drops a little, who knows if the temperature down there will rise again? We still have to continue to observe. After all, the weather is unpredictable now, so we still have to be careful."

"Aren't you in the News Department? Does your unit have any latest news about the recent drop in temperature?" The News Department where Liao Yunyun works is affiliated with a government agency, and the News Department should have its own first-hand information. Liao Yunyun may have heard some other news internally.

Liao Yunyun just pursed her lips and didn't answer the question at first. After a long silence, she lowered her voice and said, "Actually, the temperature drop this time may not be a good thing." Then she sighed deeply, "I hope the news from the Meteorological Bureau is false. Otherwise, if it is true as predicted, other disasters will most likely come after the temperature drops."

"Are you referring to the next natural disaster?" Gu Tongwan sat on another sofa, his eyes fell on Liao Yunyun's face. He saw that Liao Yunyun rarely smiled. Although she tried her best to hide it, her expression still revealed a sense of fear.

Liao Yunyun tried her best to calm her violent heartbeat with deep breathing. In fact, there were two different opinions on this statement within the company.

The Meteorological Bureau has informed us that in the next 72 hours, the temperature in China will continue to drop, eventually returning to between 25 and 30 degrees Celsius, but other natural disasters may occur in the next week.

The second theory is that the temperature will drop, but no signs of natural disasters have been detected so far.

According to the predictions made by the "prophet" of Country M for the next three years, it was only mentioned that the underground city would become another new residence for mankind and a new world was about to open.

Because this is the prophecy for this year, the "prophet" can no longer use his prophetic power this year. Various natural disasters in the future can only rely on human technology to predict and respond to unknown disasters in advance.

"Wanwan, if possible, I suggest you find a way to stockpile more food in the next two days, because we are not sure when the next natural disaster will come, but every natural disaster is accompanied by the end of another natural disaster, so we still have to take precautions."

Liao Yunyun looked solemn, and it was obvious that she had indeed given it a lot of thought.

"Well, I see. You too, you should take advantage of this time to stock up on food. But it may be hard to buy things at the supply and marketing cooperative right now. I still have some flour and rice that other acquaintances gave me. I'll find time to send it to you later."

Liao Yunyun shook her head: "I still have 30 kilograms of corn at home, you can keep the rest for yourself."

"It's okay. I can eat it all by myself for several months. There are only two of us at home now, so we can't eat that much. I'll give you some later."

Gu Tongwan had mentioned the fact that Yan Fan was living with her when they were chatting online. At that time, Liao Yunyun was still a little worried. Only after she knew that Yan Fan had been injured while protecting Gu Tongwan did she change her mind about the boy a little. However, she still couldn't help but remind Gu Tongwan to remain vigilant. After all, there are many stories about "letting the wolf into the house" and "Mr. Dongguo and the wolf" these days.

In fact, what Liao Yunyun said may not be unreasonable. Although Yan Fan has gained her trust now, the future is still long. Who can guarantee that people's hearts will not change? But as long as Yan Fan does not betray her, she doesn't mind giving him something appropriately.

She did not stay at Liao Yunyun's house for too long. She drove to the commercial district and found that some small shops along the street had opened one after another. In just one morning, there were seven or eight shops open for business. However, the prices were still about twice as much as before the extreme heat. After all, the prices of various materials are relatively high now, so the prices of the goods in the store can only be continuously raised.

Gu Tongwan didn't buy anything. He came here mainly to observe the price situation, so after getting a clear understanding, he drove home.

When she got home, Yan Fan had not returned yet. After parking the car, Gu Tongwan directly put the SUV into the space. After two days, she would drive the pickup truck out to make the last transaction. The pickup truck should be put away temporarily.

Recently, a batch of pumpkins and cucumbers piled up in the orchard have matured and can be sold mostly to Sister Pan and Cai Min.

When I had fewer points in the past, I bought a lot of winter melon and cucumber seeds. In addition, these two kinds of vegetables and fruits have a relatively short maturity period, so I can harvest a large batch every time.

I should be able to collect about 10,000 points for the last time, so I will have tens of thousands on my card now. If the dungeon is opened, the points I have can at least buy a small apartment there, so I will have enough money for the down payment.

Yan Fan came back at around 1:30 in the afternoon. This trip took almost half a day.

In fact, it is not difficult to understand. At present, the supply and marketing cooperatives are in a situation of shortage of supplies. Yan Fan can only go to the supply and marketing cooperatives in multiple blocks. Although it was previously forbidden to go to supply and marketing cooperatives in other places across districts, in fact, many rules have been broken after the extreme heat. Most people still shop in multiple blocks. After all, the most important thing is to ensure that they have sufficient supplies first.

The things Yan Fan bought this time were all durable and non-mildew-resistant supplies, including dozens of bags of compressed biscuits, some coarse noodles and brown rice, which together weigh an estimated twenty pounds. It is said that he spent nearly a thousand yuan. It is said that the supply and marketing cooperatives are basically overcrowded at present, but it may be because of the drop in temperature. The supplies in the supply and marketing cooperatives are quite saturated today, and there is no shortage of goods. The only thing is that each place is limited to purchasing five pounds of rice and flour.

Gu Tongwan took half of the supplies to Liao Yunyun and Zhang Youfan's homes in the afternoon. Although there were not many things, it was at least a timely help.

For the next three days, the temperature dropped sharply, and it was not until the fourth day when it stabilized at 30 degrees during the day and 24 degrees at night.

But at the same time, Gu Tongwan discovered that the strange smell outside the yard near the well was becoming stronger.
