You say the cataclysm only comes after you've cleared the entire dungeon?

At 4:30 p.m. that day, Lou Fengyue received a video call from her mother.

The moment the call connected, she sensed something was wrong; there was a loud rain sound on the other end.

"Yueyue, it's suddenly pouring rain here." Pan Quan patted the sky outside the window, which was gloomy, and then turned the camera back. "It's not safe to drive in thunderstorms. Let's go over tomorrow when the rain has subsided."

"Okay." Lou Fengyue nodded, without much objection. "The roads are slippery in the rain, so have your brother drive slowly. Safety is the most important thing."

After chatting about other things for a while, Pan Quan reluctantly hung up the phone.

Lou Fengyue's brows furrowed suddenly, and a hint of coldness flashed in her eyes.

[System, what's going on? Wasn't the heavy rain supposed to start in two more days?]

[Host, please relax. It's just a normal thunderstorm and will stop soon. The real natural disaster will strike in 46 hours and 48 minutes.]

[Are you sure? It won't arrive early?]

This system possesses the ability to detect natural disasters and is absolutely infallible. The global rainfall timing error is within one hour after the countdown ends.

Upon hearing this, Lou Fengyue's worries subsided somewhat.

Since Mom, Dad, and my brother won't arrive until tomorrow, we can't waste the rest of the time.

She took two water tanks out of the space, placed them in the living room, and then connected them to the faucets in the bathroom and kitchen with water pipes.

Water storage begins.

He then grabbed his car keys and went out again.

I bought two diesel generators in case of power outages, and also went to an outdoor equipment store to buy a lot of gear.

They even prepared two rubber boats.

In a post-apocalyptic world, weapons are naturally indispensable for survival.

She picked out some self-defense items, such as the baseball bat she was most familiar with.

I picked out quite a few to keep as spares.

The remaining money was used to purchase other necessities such as firewood, rice, oil, salt, soy sauce, vinegar, and tea.

-

There is no concept of time flow or temperature in the spatial ring; things are in the same condition when they are put in and when they are taken out.

It's tens of thousands of times better than a refrigerator.

Back in the game of natural disasters, Lou Fengyue was quite envious of those who had awakened spatial abilities, as it was very convenient for storing food or carrying supplies on missions.

However, the space available to spatial ability users varies depending on their ability level; lower-level ability users only have a few cubic meters of space.

High-level ability users can break down their own space and give it to other ability users in the form of cards.

The spatial ring that Lou Fengyue obtained is undoubtedly a unique treasure in the entire world. It has unlimited space, and she can put things into it at will without ever having to worry about it being filled up.

The next morning, Lou Fengyue went to the container terminal to wait for the supplies she had ordered the day before.

Vegetables, meat, and daily necessities were delivered one after another. She had them moved into the shipping container, and after everyone left, she put everything into the storage space.

Around midnight, the batch of medicines and medical supplies I ordered online arrived.

After receiving the goods as usual and completing the container return procedures, she drove back immediately.

Judging by the time, Lou Yunzheng should be arriving at the residential area soon.

[Countdown to natural disaster: 25 hours 51 minutes]

When Lou Yunzheng brought the two elderly people to apartment 3703 in Building A, Lou Fengyue had already put away the two water tanks in the living room and was busy in the kitchen.

"Yueyue!"

Upon seeing Lou Fengyue, Pan Quan's eyes reddened, and tears streamed down her face uncontrollably.

Lou Fengyue felt a lump in her throat when she heard the sound and rushed into her parents' arms.

"My precious daughter, she's lost so much weight." Lou Qingjian said, tears streaming down his face. He touched his daughter's shoulders, which were so thin they were just bones, and his heart ached.

"Dad, Mom, I'm fine." Lou Fengyue reassured her parents. "I've cleared out the master bedroom. You can tidy it up first. Lunch will be ready soon."

Lou Yunzheng made several trips before finally carrying all the luggage his parents had brought from their hometown upstairs.

He was panting heavily, sweat beading on his forehead.

"Brother, thank you for your hard work." Lou Fengyue handed over a bottle of iced cola. "I unfolded the sofa bed in the study, so you can sleep there for now."

"Okay." Lou Yunzheng took the iced cola, ruffled his sister's hair, and asked, "What are you doing in the kitchen? Why are you all sweaty?"

Lou Fengyue, of course, wouldn't mention that she was also rushing back.

She smiled and pushed her brother toward the study, "Go pack your things first, we'll be eating soon."

At noon, the family of four sat around the dining table, chatting and laughing, in a warm and harmonious atmosphere, with everyone feeling a sense of relief at having survived a disaster.

Afraid of upsetting Lou Fengyue, no one asked about what happened in the past six months.

Only Lou Fengyue knew in her heart that the real tribulation had not yet arrived.

After dinner, Lou Fengyue went into the guest room and took out two newly purchased surveillance cameras.

"Hey bro, can you help me install this?"

"Where do you want to put it?" Lou Yunzheng didn't hesitate at all and immediately got up.

Lou Fengyue put on a mask and handed him another one, "Put them outside, one at the emergency exit and one at the front door."

Lou Yunzheng did as instructed, with Lou Fengyue assisting him.

In the living room, the two elderly people sat on the sofa, watching their daughter busy herself around, and Pan Quan's worries reached their peak.

Unable to resist, she whispered, "Old Lou, don't you think Yueyue seems to have changed a lot?"

Lou Qingjian glanced at his daughter, who was handing tools to Lou Yunzheng at the door, and sighed inwardly.

Six months ago, the daughter disappeared silently from the apartment, and even the police's surveillance cameras could not find her whereabouts.

She suddenly returned unharmed, but she had lost a lot of weight and was colder than before.

He must have suffered a lot in the past six months and developed post-traumatic stress disorder, which is why he immediately replaced the steel door and installed surveillance cameras upon his return.

Lou Qingjian patted his wife's hand and lowered his voice, saying, "Yueyue just got back, and she's a bit emotionally unstable. Let her rest for a while, and then we'll take her to see a psychologist for a checkup."

After the brother and sister installed the surveillance camera, they returned to the house, where the heavy, explosion-proof steel door was locked tightly.

"Dad, Mom, can I have your phones?"

Lou Yunzheng took the elderly couple's phones and downloaded the same brand of surveillance app, which allowed them to view the live feed in the background.

Lou Fengyue also installed it on her phone, but thinking that the whole city would lose power in a few days, her phone would eventually become scrap metal.

[System, can you receive monitoring signals?]

Yes, this connects to the monitoring signal, allowing you to view the monitoring footage through the system panel.

After the binding was successful, Lou Fengyue opened the system panel and could see the images transmitted from the monitoring system.

It seems this system is still somewhat useful.

The family sat on the sofa, found a movie to watch, and happily spent the whole afternoon.

It was as if it were just an ordinary, peaceful day.

But Lou Fengyue could see that a very small system panel was always following her gaze in the upper left corner, and the time on it was constantly changing.
