At this moment, Su Can suddenly jolted awake. He panted heavily as what he had just seen in his dream replayed in his mind.

‘It couldn’t be wrong… The apocalypse will definitely come… Moreover…’

Su Can quickly made a simple calculation in his mind when he recalled the date he had seen.

‘It’ll arrive two months from today…’

…

“The weather is so hot… It was cool this time of the year last year. Why is it so hot now?” Li Jiayue complained. She was walking next to Su Can and was dressed in a T-shirt and a pair of shorts.

Su Can smiled as he held Li Jiayue’s hand and said in a teasing tone, “Perhaps, it’s just like you said. Earth might be coming to an end soon. Isn’t this a normal phenomenon if Earth is about to end?”

Li Jiayue frowned when she heard these words. “How’s this normal?”

Su Can quickly changed the topic. He pointed at a roadside stall, “Let’s go. I’ll treat you to ice cream. It should cool you down a lot.”

Li Jiayue’s eyes lit up immediately. “Alright! I want to try the new flavor that came out recently!”

“Let’s go!”

The couple quickly made their way to the ice cream stall. There was a long line, and the owner was working hard to make ice cream one after another.

At this time, one of the young customers held his phone up and asked his friends next to him, “Did you see the trending news online? Our country recently released news about saving water resources. This doesn’t sound good. Do you think the end of the world is coming?”

The young man’s female companion laughed and said, “This hot weather won’t last long. It’ll be autumn soon. At that time, the temperature will naturally drop.”

“You’re right.”

At this time, Li Jiayue leaned over and whispered to Su Can, “There’s been a lot of news about this on the Internet over the past two days, and quite a large number of people are worried. However, the government has reassured the public.”

Su Can thought about it carefully. The country naturally had its own reasons for doing this. At the same time, he did not plan to reveal his knowledge to Li Jiayue. He did not want her to live in fear of the future like him.

…

At the same time, at the North Pole…

“The team that returned to the capital has already sent over the results…” Li Zheng, Li Jiayue’s father, said with a slight frown, “The situation is very unfavorable. There’s almost a 100% guarantee that a global climate disaster will occur in the future. As for the nature and the scale of the disaster, we’re still unable to determine them for now…”

An old man sighed as he shook his head and looked at the glaciers outside. Then, he said, “The pollution from humans over the years is too much… This is retribution…”

Li Zheng looked outside worriedly and asked, “Senior, is there really no way to save humankind?”

The old man shook his head and said, “Perhaps, if we started twenty years, we might have a chance. But now…” Then, his gaze changed as he continued to say, “Before the disaster strikes, you should inform your daughter about it. Tell her to make preparations. None of us can predict what will happen during the disaster after all…”

Li Zheng nodded. “I will. I’ll tell her to prepare herself.”

…

After the data was analyzed and verified, leaders from various countries began to realize the severity of the problem.

“Damn it! How can this be? The weather has been stable over the past few years. Why did it suddenly change this year?”

“No one knows the reason for this abnormality…”

Someone sighed and said worriedly, “I’m afraid the future will be much more dangerous than we imagined. Should we inform the citizens?”

“No. If the news spreads, it’ll cause widespread panic in the country,” the leader said decisively, “Moreover, don’t forget that nothing is confirmed. A disaster is just a possibility for now. Let’s just start with gathering and storing as many resources as we can for now. When the time comes, if there’s a need, we’ll distribute them.”

“Yes…”

Everyone present nodded in agreement.

“Remember. Keep this to yourselves. Do your best to keep this secret while you prepare for the worst.”

…

Li Zheng held the research papers he had just received as he looked at Li Jiayue’s photo, which was placed on the table, and sighed, looking dispirited. He was mulling over how to break this news to her as gently as possible. He naturally did not want Li Jiayue to live in fear of the future like him. However, considering the imminent danger, he had to tell her so she could make preparations as soon as possible.

Li Zheng, who was deep in his thoughts, was suddenly pulled back to his senses by his phone ringing.

“Hey, dad, it’s me, Little Yue.”

When Li Zheng heard his daughter’s voice, he could not help but feel apologetic. He had promised his daughter some time ago that he would return home to accompany her. He did not expect that he would be delayed. He had no choice after all. He had to study the data that he had received. Moreover, his daughter was an adult now and could take good care of herself.

…

At the same time, Li Jiayue, who was sitting on the bed and looking out the window, asked, “Dad, how are you doing at the Arctic research station? It should be cold over there, right?”

She could not help but feel slightly envious when she thought about how cold it was where her father was.

Li Jiayue smiled as she continued to say, “It’s been so hot recently. I can’t even go out…”

“I see…” Li Zheng said absentmindedly as he looked at the snow outside the window. He thought that it had been too long since he paid attention to his daughter.
