In the End of the World, I will Hold My Child and Watch You Die

After finishing the meal, I coax them to sleep.

With nothing else to do, I picked up the account book on the table and prepared to help Walter with inventory.

Over the years, we have accumulated a lot of capital. Walter has become a small supermarket supplier by using the channels he has run as a salesperson.

He went out to purchase this month, and the only refrigerated truck at home was also taken out, leaving a large space for me to tidy up.

I started organizing from the ordinary shelves on the negative first floor.

Because it contracted the supply of mineral water for a nearby convenience store, the 4L large barrels of mineral water occupied two entire shelves, with dozens of barrels neatly arranged.

The shelves next to it were also filled with about twenty to thirty boxes of 500ml small bottles of mineral water.

There were another 10 boxes of bread, with two bags in each box, totaling 100kg; 5 boxes of oil, with 4 cans in each box, totaling 100L; over 20 bags of flour, totaling 40kg.

And 3 boxes of sugar and salt, with 60 bags in each box.

And there were also several boxes of various toiletries such as shower gel, shampoo, and soap, with different quantities.

2 boxes each of tissues, cling film, garbage bags, and towels.

And dozens of boxes of non-perishable foods such as instant noodles, instant hot pot, ham sausages, and milk.

After finishing the inventory on the first floor, I stretched and yawned, only to find that it had only been 2 hours and the child was still not awake, so I walked to the corner and lifted a thick cover.

Well, the entrance to the basement cold storage was in the garage, accessed through a thick isolation door.

I climbed down the stairs, and the piercing cold made me regret why I didn't wear more cloth to come down.

The inside of the cold storage was only half the size, allowing one person to pass between the shelves.

Several layers inside are filled with various frozen vegetables, fruits, and seafood from top to bottom.

The next two layers were some frozen fast food that can be heated and eaten.

While taking inventory, I suddenly saw the fast food pizza that the children have been wanting to eat for a long time.

Thinking that they have been through a lot recently, I planned to heat up the pizza in the microwave to satisfy their cravings when I go back tomorrow.

Early the next morning, thinking about the custard bread in the cold storage, I prepared to go back for a visit before 6 o'clock.

Unexpectedly, as soon as I went out, the scorching sun forced me to turn back.

When I returned, I saw that my arm, which was the first to reach out, was sunburned in just a few seconds.

Not knowing what happened, I quickly opened my phone to check today's temperature.

The top of the screen popped up with a hot search reminder.

[Warning! Extreme high temperatures are currently occurring nationwide. Citizens are advised to stay at home and avoid going out as much as possible.]

Click in, the social media was already buzzing with complaints about this sudden abnormal heatwave.

Many people have directly shared their experiences of getting sunburned despite being fully covered.

I kept scrolling down and came across a post complaining about our neighborhood.

[There has been a sudden power outage in Sierra Vista Community. How are we supposed to survive in this scorching weather?]
