“If you were to meet someone like Bald Yang, it won’t be good.”

After all, Su Can had played the hero many times in the bar. He did not care about himself, but he did not want to implicate the innocent Li Jiayue.

At this time, Li Jiayue smiled and suddenly said, “I told my parents about you. They’re all very curious about you, and they want to meet you.”

Su Can felt slightly nervous upon hearing this. He asked, “Did your parents say anything else?”

Li Jiayue waved her hand and said casually, “No, they didn’t. In any case, you’ll know it when you meet them.”

“Okay, I look forward to meeting them,” Su Can said.

Subsequently, Li Jiayue’s expression turned solemn, and she suddenly said, “Apart from that, there’s something I want to ask you. I hope you’ll answer me honestly.”

“Okay.”

Li Jiayue looked at Su Can and asked worriedly, “Tell me honestly. Is there going to be a disaster in the future?”

After a brief moment, Su Can nodded decisively and said, “If the global climate continues to be so bad, I think there’ll be a disaster.”

It was fine to reveal some things about the future to Li Jiayue now, but he could not reveal too much for the time being. After all, he did not tell her anything previously. If he told her everything now, she would likely be very shocked.

Li Jiayue was only a little surprised. After all, she had mentally prepared herself for this. However, it was inevitable that she would feel anxious. She could not help but wonder if humankind would go extinct. She asked, “What should we do then? I don’t know how to face it…”

“Don’t worry too much. I’ll protect you when the time comes. Moreover, the renovation of the shelter has been completed,” Su Can said as he patted Li Jiayue’s shoulder before he hugged her tightly.

“But… I’m still worried,” Li Jiayue said. Unable to hold back her surging emotions, tears began to well up in her eyes. She said, “My parents told me that they’d be returning in two days. However, I heard that something big happened at the Arctic research station. I called them later, but I couldn’t get through. I’m really worried about them…”

“Don’t worry. It’ll be okay,” Su Can said comfortingly as he patted her shoulder, “They’ve been working at the Arctic research station for so long. They definitely have a way to deal with this kind of thing…”

After a beat, Su Can added, “We’ll move more supplies tomorrow and continue to make more preparations. At that time, even if a disaster strikes, we won’t have to worry.”

“Su Can…”

Li Jiayue hugged Su Can tightly. It took a while before she finally calmed down her surging emotions. She looked at him and said resolutely, “We’ll definitely survive the apocalypse…”

“That’s right,” Su Can said with a smile and patted Li Jiayue’s head, “Alright, get some rest. We still have many things to do tomorrow.”

…

Early the next morning.

“Extra canned food, emergency supplies, and medicine… They’re all here… I ordered many things from here yesterday…” Su Can said as he carefully checked the list in his hand.

“Be careful not to drop these things when you carry them. Some of the containers are made from glass…”

“Yes!” Li Jiayue nodded and picked up a box with difficulty, “Don’t worry. I can handle this…”

“Okay. Apart from this, I think we need more wood,” Li Jiayue said worriedly as she carried the box, “If we run out of coal, we can use wood as well. Moreover, we can use the wood for other things well. I think we have some left over from the renovation as well…”

Su Can nodded. In any case, he still had plenty of funds left. With that, he made his way to the nearby timber shop to buy more wood.

…

At the same time…

“When will they stop shopping?”

The senior executive from the bank was dressed casually today. At this moment, he was trying to blend in with the crowd as he observed Su Can.

Based on what he knew so far, he thought that Su Can was likely the most knowledgeable about the impending disaster. If he recorded each of Su Can’s movements, perhaps he could hoard supplies for the future.

…

“Let’s buy these first…”

Su Can was satisfied when he looked at the cart that was filled to the brim.

“Let’s put these things over there first,” Li Jiayue suggested as she pointed at the area where they could temporarily put away their things. Then, she added, “I saw a shop selling coal earlier. Why don’t we buy more?”

“Alright.” Su Can nodded in agreement.

…

The senior executive, who was standing unnoticed at the side, stroked his chin as he fell deep into his thoughts. The things Su Can bought today were very practical, and they all had a long shelf life.

He put his notepad away in his pocket as he thought to himself, ‘As expected… Su Can definitely knows what’s going to happen in the future…’

He knew he could not approach Su Can directly now. He would likely be treated as a weirdo based on how Li Jiayue had treated him previously. After a moment, an idea appeared in his mind.

‘Su Can is still in the group chat… Perhaps, I’ll be able to obtain more information if I message him directly…’

Without wasting time, he quickly sent a message to Su Can.

“Su Can, are you free to chat?”

After sending the message, he found a place to sit while he waited for Su Can’s reply.

Alas, after a few hours, he still did not receive a reply.

“Strange…”

He looked at his phone in confusion as he thought to himself, ‘Is he not interested in talking to me?’

He was unaware that after Su Can returned home, Su Can was busy moving things with Li Jiayue. The duo was busy the entire day. After all, things are changing rapidly. After that, Su Can was so tired that he went to bed immediately and did not check his phone.
