At night.

Li Jiayue walked to the small greenhouse on the top floor of the shelter.

The construction team had taken this into consideration previously and had built a greenhouse. It was very convenient to grow some vegetables in an extremely cold environment. Although it would consume electricity, Li Jiayue thought it was worth it if they could eat fresh vegetables.

The vegetable seeds she had planted had already begun to sprout cute little buds at this time.

‘They should grow well in the future…’

The unease in Li Jiayue’s heart gradually vanished as she looked at the vegetable garden. However, soon enough, she thought about her father and sighed. She did not know how he was doing.

When Su Can was busy earlier, she had called her father to ask about his and her mother’s situation. However, for some reason, her father did not answer the call. She called him several times after that, and it was the same. She could not help but wonder if something happened to them.

‘Could something have… happened?’

Li Jiayue could not help but tear up when she thought about this.

At this time, Su Can walked in and saw Li Jiayue covering her face and crying. He quickly walked over and pulled her into his arms, feeling distressed. He asked, “Li Jiayue, what’s wrong?”

Li Jiayue leaned against Su Can and said, “I… I’m worried about my parents. I’m afraid that something might have happened to them. The streets are filled with thugs robbing supplies. I’m really worried about them…”

Su Can patted her lightly as he said reassuringly, “They’ll be fine. The country needs people like them now. They’ll definitely be well protected.”

Li Jiayue’s heart calmed down as soon as she heard Su Can’s reassuring words. She nodded, “You’re right… I just don’t know what they’re doing now…”

…

In a national shelter.

“The general framework has been built.”

The senior official looked at the scientists around him and said, “Although the framework has been built, we still haven’t come to a conclusion about the nature of the disaster. What do you think?”

Li Zheng stepped forward and took the initiative to say, “I feel that the future disaster will be like the Ice Age. It’s best to ensure the shelters have proper insulation and heating. We have to maintain a comfortable temperature in the shelter.”

Upon hearing this, the other scientists quickly voiced their objections.

“Li Zheng, are you trying to kill us?”

“You should know that after that short hail that day, the temperature has risen again.”

“The temperature is even higher than before. No matter how you look at it, we should prepare for extreme heat, not extreme cold!”

Li Zheng took a deep breath and raised his hand before he said, “Can you give me a moment?”

Although Li Zheng’s colleagues felt that they should prepare for extreme heat, based on his research and Su Can’s words, he felt that the possibility of extreme cold was much higher. He needed to talk to Su Can before he could make further plans. After all, only Su Can knew what was going to happen during the apocalypse.

The others looked at Li Zheng solemnly and nodded.

“Alright.”

“We’ll wait for you here.”

With that, Li Zheng walked out and called Su Can.

…

In the greenhouse.

“Wait a minute. My phone is ringing,” Su Cans said. He brought his phone out and saw that the caller was Li Zheng.

“Hello, Su Can. Are you free to talk now?”

“Yes, uncle. What’s the matter?”

Upon learning that the other party was her father, Li Jiayue heaved a sigh of relief. This meant that her father was fine.

“Are you sure that it’ll be extremely cold when the disaster strikes?”

“Of course,” Su Can replied with a nod, “But there’s something you need to pay attention to…”

“What is it?” Li Zheng became nervous when he heard Su Can’s words.

Su Can tried to recall the content of his dream a few days ago as he said, “Pay attention to the time twenty years after the apocalypse arrives. At that time, the temperature will rise greatly. Therefore, it’s best to make double preparations.”

“Alright, I understand,” Li Zheng replied, “I’ll speak to the others about this.”

…

Li Zheng returned to the others and said, “I’m back.”

The senior official looked at Li Zheng and asked solemnly, “Have you thought about how we should prepare? Li Zheng, you’re one of the most experienced ones here. I hope you’ll be able to give us a clear explanation. After all, your decision will affect all of us.”

“Yes, sir,” Li Zheng said with a nod, “It’ll be extremely cold when the disaster strikes. It’ll be like a world of ice.Moreover, the cold will last for twenty years.”

“World of ice? Old Li, did you read too many sci-fi novels?” someone said sarcastically. After all, it was extremely hot now. No matter how he looked at it, it did not seem like it was going to be extremely cold when the disaster struck.

“Didn’t you see the hail before this?”

Another scientist shook his head and said, “Even then, the possibility of it being extremely cold is very small. I think we should prepare for extreme heat instead.”

The senior official frowned as he looked at the scientists before him. There was nothing wrong with their words, but he still could not help but feel uneasy. He took a deep breath before he said, “Everyone, Li Zheng’s suggestion can’t be dismissed so easily…”

“However, based on the current situation, it’s more likely that it’ll be even hotter in the future!”

“In that case, let’s…”

Suddenly…

“Sir! Sir!” the senior official’s assistant suddenly ran in and shouted, “Something big has happened, sir!”

“What happened?” the senior official asked with a frown. His assistant’s greatest strength was that she could always maintain her composure even under the most extreme situation.

“Sir, the temperature has dropped!”

Someone said, “The weather has been abnormal for some time now. It’s not a big problem if there’s a drop.”

“No, it’s not like that. Sir, just come and have a look!” the assistant said as he pointed at the observation window, “It was still sunny earlier, but now, it’s snowing!”
