End of the world crisis

With the 50 thousand dollars I had left in my account and the 150 thousand dollars Deon transferred, I had exactly 200 thousand dollars.

The money was enough for me to prepare ample supplies.

Deon and Taryn's family were coming in three days, so I had to use this time to procure supplies and store them in the city apartment.

With global rainfall, the most crucial and scarce resource was water. Buying a water purifier was impractical, so I decided to buy mineral water and bottled water directly.

I told a wholesaler that I was opening a delivery service that included bottled water, so I purchased a large quantity of mineral water, which was enough for my daily use.

Additionally, I contacted a bottled water supplier, expressing interest in becoming a distributor, and bought several water dispensers and bottled water.

I explained that I didn't have a warehouse and needed to store the water temporarily in an unused apartment, assuring them I would move it once my warehouse was ready. The delivery workers helped carry the water upstairs.

With the water secured, I needed to prepare food and clothing next.

I bought a large quantity of seeds and nutrient solutions in advance on a certain online platform. These seeds had short cycles and were easy to survive.

After the rain subsided, crops would be destroyed, so the seeds could be used for future farming needs.

I also bought plenty of loungewear since we wouldn't be able to go out for a while, so I wanted to stay comfortable at home.

While thinking about how to transport food without being noticed, I learned that a supermarket in the neighboring community was closing down. I immediately offered to take over their stock, secretly transporting a lot of non-perishable food upstairs.

Instant noodles, cookies, various beverages, chocolates, sandwich cookies, and compressed biscuits were all stored, along with sanitary napkins, tissues, and other daily necessities.

I had to admit that Deon's apartment was indeed in a great location.

The property was newly handed over, with few residents, so I didn't have to worry about being noticed. And it was close to the rescue center.

When everything was ready, Deon brought his "family" over.

At that time, most parts of the world had just started to experience rainfall, and people were not yet aware of the impending crisis.

Of course, Deon and his so-called family had no idea about it.

When they arrived at my villa, they were already soaked from the rain.

Deon's "sister" complained, "What kind of weather is this? It was clear and sunny when we set off, and now it's suddenly raining."

Deon's "parents" didn't look happy either. "Why didn't Carina come to pick us up in advance?"

After speaking, they walked in without waiting for a response. "Where are we staying?"

In my previous life, I had never lived with my parents, so I felt very awkward in such situations. I originally wanted them to stay in the guest room, but they insisted on staying in my master bedroom, claiming the guest room was too small and uncomfortable.

I signaled Deon with my eyes, but he acted as if he didn't see it, putting his arm around my shoulder and agreeing, "My parents are old and they feel uncomfortable in small rooms. Besides, the guest room doesn't have a bathroom. It would be inconvenient if they had to use the bathroom at night, and it would disturb you."

I was left speechless and ended up having to let Deon's "parents" stay in the master bedroom, while I was forced to sleep in the guest room on the second floor.

Deon and Taryn stayed in the rooms on either side of mine.

In this life, I gave up the master bedroom proactively, letting Deon's "parents" stay on the first floor.

I knew that tomorrow night, the continuous rainfall would flood the bed on the first floor.
