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

If we're talking about the impact of heavy rain, the first thing that comes to mind is power outages.

The fourth day of the torrential rain, at 6 PM.

It was completely dark when the power was switched off, plunging the entire neighborhood into darkness.

There were many people shouting outside, and the owners' group chat was buzzing with messages, all asking the property management to fix the power switch.

All these noisy and chaotic sounds were kept out of the 3703 households by the heavy blast doors.

The room was pitch black; you couldn't see your hand in front of your face.

Lou Qingjian managed to keep his composure, sitting upright on the sofa and glancing up at the overhead light.

The scarlet tungsten filament gradually cooled, extinguishing the last bit of light.

"Why is there a power outage?" he exclaimed, his voice full of confusion.

"Power outages during heavy rain are normal." Lou Yunzheng turned on his phone's flashlight and subconsciously looked at his sister, asking with his eyes if there was a solution.

"There are candles in the house, let's light them first." Lou Fengyue immediately got up and went into the second bedroom.

Candles were lit in every corner of the room. Although it was dim, the light prevented people from being overwhelmed by fear.

Pan Quan, who had been on edge, breathed a sigh of relief and praised, "Yueyue is really clever to keep candles at home, otherwise I would have been completely blind."

Lou Qingjian chuckled and teased, "Your daughter has always loved buying weird and wonderful things since she was little, just like Doraemon, she has everything."

"I even bought an outdoor battery when I went camping with my colleagues before," Lou Fengyue continued, turning to her brother, "Brother, could you help me with this? Otherwise, the meat in the fridge probably won't last long."

"OK."

The brother and sister went into the kitchen and started fiddling around for a while.

The two elderly people sat in the living room and gradually realized that something was wrong.

Even if she likes to buy strange and unusual things, what girl keeps a power bank at home?

Looking around the room at the lit candles, they weren't the scented candles that girls buy for their looks, but rather the most affordable and common white candles.

It was clearly prepared for a power outage.

Let's talk about refrigerators next.

My daughter used to be too lazy to cook, and the refrigerator was always full of drinks, alcohol, and ice cream.

Now it's completely full, filled with vegetables, fruits, and meat.

It was as if... she already knew that the rain would be heavy, that there would be a power outage, and that she wouldn't be able to get out.

"Old Lou, don't you really think your daughter is a bit strange?" Pan Quan asked uncertainly in a low voice.

To everyone's surprise, Lou Qingjian nodded. "Not only Yueyue, Yunzheng has also been acting strangely these past few days. Are those two siblings hiding something from us?"

The night was not peaceful.

Some people have started sneezing and have a fever, but the situation is not serious, and everyone thinks it's just from catching a cold in the rainy weather.

But the sky seemed to have been torn open, and the rain poured down with the force of the Yellow River, and panic and confusion still swept over us.

Curses, wails, and cries drifted intermittently through the rain and through the glass from all over the neighborhood.

Like the lament of a wronged soul.

Noticing her fear, Lou Qingjian sat down beside her and hugged her tightly.

"At your age, why are you still afraid of thunder and rain?" he joked with a light laugh, trying to hide the slight unease in his heart.

Pan Quan glared at him irritably, but her body obediently shrank into his arms.

Lou Yunzheng obtains information from various places through the internet.

Some low-lying cities have been flooded, and troops are using yachts to conduct search and rescue operations in the rain.

Although it rained heavily in cities at higher elevations, there were no major problems; the floodwaters on the roads were just above ankle level.

After brushing for a while, Lou Yunzheng felt his head getting increasingly dizzy.

I initially thought it was just from looking at my phone for too long in the dark.

Until a cold hand touched his forehead, making him shiver and bringing him back to his senses.

Looking up, I met my sister's calm eyes.

"Brother, you have a fever." Lou Fengyue frowned deeply, grabbed his arm and pulled him into the second bedroom. "You'll sleep in my room tonight."

"What? Yunzheng has a fever?" Pan Quan heard her daughter's not-so-loud voice and her already tense nerves almost snapped. She quickly followed after her.

Lou Fengyue helped her brother into the second bedroom, placed him on the bed, took a thick quilt from the wardrobe, and covered him with it.

He then hurried to the living room to retrieve the first-aid kit.

"Mom, pour me a glass of water." Lou Fengyue took out the thermometer, tucked it under her brother's arm, and then took out the remaining fever reducer from the medicine box.

"Okay." Pan Quan hurriedly went to pour water.

The room was dimly lit, with only the occasional flash of lightning outside piercing through with a pale beam of light.

Lou Fengyue broke off two fever-reducing pills and took out a Body Tempering Pill, a reward from the system, from her spatial storage.

Based on her experience, people who are infected with the virus and have a high fever have better physical condition and a lower probability of dying, which relatively increases the probability of awakening superpowers.

The Body Tempering Pill can strengthen the physical body; hopefully, it will help my brother fight off the virus.

Even if they didn't awaken their superpowers, at least they reduced the probability of direct death.

Pan Quan brought in a glass of water, and Lou Fengyue immediately shoved three pills into Lou Yunzheng's mouth, making him drink a couple of sips of water to swallow them.

Lou Yunzheng could clearly feel that the shape and taste of the medicine he swallowed were different.

He looked at his sister, feeling dizzy, his voice hoarse: "What did you feed me?"

"Never mind, just eat it." Lou Fengyue's attitude was firm. She then took two more Body Tempering Pills and placed them in Pan Quan's palm. "Mom, you and Dad each take one of these pills to strengthen your bodies."

In the darkness, Pan Quan could only see her daughter's blurry outline. She asked with concern, "And what about you?"

She didn't even ask a single question about what kind of medicine it was or what its ingredients were.

Anyway, what my daughter gave me couldn't possibly be poison.

"I've already eaten," Lou Fengyue replied casually.

He immediately stood up and pushed Pan Quan out. His tone was more serious than ever before, with an unyielding calm: "Get out of here right now. I'll take care of my brother tonight, and no one is allowed to come in."

Pan Quan blinked blankly. Did this mean they were going to isolate Lou Yunzheng?

But this is just a common fever and cold, it doesn't need to be isolated, does it?
