High Temperature Apocalypse: Unveiling the Masks of Family Members

In order to save water, Cecilia liked to turn the faucet to the minimum and store the dripping water in a bottle.

In my previous life, we relied on the stored water and the remaining food in the refrigerator to survive for more than half a month.

But they ate and drank their fill every day, but refused to give me food.

I was so thirsty that I begged Jaxon for help, but he kicked me and broke two of my ribs.

I was so thirsty that I could only lick the water pipe, but Cynthia was using the water to wash her hair.

Cecilia touched Cynthia's belly and said, "Cynthia, you can use water as much as you want, but you can't let my grandson down."

Jaxon punched and kicked me. "Useless! Why don't you store more water!"

Thinking of the pain of a dry and thirsty throat corroded by gastric juice, I quickened my hands.

I stood in the kitchen and poured all the water in the bottles and jars into the drain, and put the empty bottles back.

The frozen meat, fish and shrimp in the freezer of the refrigerator were packed in black plastic bags and taken away. In order to avoid being discovered, I left some fish and bacon on the outer layer.

Jaxon's family was incredibly lazy. As long as I was not at home, they wouldn't even enter the kitchen.

These things were salty and hard. They would suffer when the time comes.

For the next two days, I took a long vacation from the company.

Making use of the limited time, I raced against time to replace the villa with the strongest anti-theft door, and contacted a professional security company to connect to the power grid.

I bought five sets of fire extinguishers, five sets of gas masks and protective clothing, as well as rubber gloves and insulated shoes.

When the temperature was over 122 degrees Fahrenheit, wiring, electrical appliances, cars and the like often catch fire spontaneously. And the risk of fire was very high.

I tried my best to turn the villa into a doomsday safe house.

I had just ordered a water purifier that day when I suddenly received a call from Jaxon.

Jaxon said, "I'm at the door of your company. Where are you?"

I was very nervous and quickly comforted him. "The company is planning a dinner party. I'm booking a restaurant."

Jaxon was sweating profusely in the car. When he saw me get in the car, he stared at me blankly.

He said, "You go out early and come back late these days. What are you busy with?"

I was shocked as I didn't expect him to go the company, but I quickly calmed down.

I said, "The company is going to lay off employees recently. Everyone is working very hard to show off. I am just afraid of losing my job."

"Yes. You should work harder. It's hard to find a job now."

I sneered in my heart.

He just resigned last month because he felt his job was too tiring. And he stayed at home for a whole month without looking for a job.

Now he said it was not easy to find a job.

When I got home in the evening, he was waiting at the stairs early. When he saw me, he pulled me aside.

"You've worked so hard these past two years. I don't know how to express my gratitude to you, so I bought you a bracelet."

He opened the box. I was an old-fashioned plain bracelet from a big brand.

I had longed for this bracelet for a long time, and had made up my mind to buy it several times, but had been reluctant to let go.

Jaxon grabbed my wrist and helped me put it on. "You got off work early today. Let's go home and eat. My parents are waiting for you."

I touched the bracelet and felt a little weird.

The last gift he gave me was a pair of earrings he bought for me before we got married.

Jaxon usually spent money lavishly and had no savings at all. After buying this bracelet, it might not be enough to buy any supplies.

He was doing this for a reason.

Sure enough, he looked at me in a flattering manner.

"Can we give Cynthia our house?"
