Chapter 7: Using Lu Zhen’s Name
The next morning, Leng Pan woke up and the first thing she did was to take her small notebook and mark the things she had already bought. She left those she needed to purchase unmarked.
After that, she went to the bathroom to take a quick shower and prepared a simple breakfast of scrambled eggs and toast.
While eating breakfast, she checked the news on her phone. Even though she knew what would happen, everything could not fit in the pages of a book. Some things were not explained clearly, so she had to investigate herself.
She noticed that people were complaining about the sporadic rain that was happening without warning sometimes inconveniencing their work.
Moreover, the temperature around the globe has risen to an unexplainable degree. In their country, the hottest summer recorded had a temperature of 33°, and now, the temperature was already 30°; it looked like it wouldn’t be long before it exceeded it.
Even the Antarctic, which was covered in snow and ice throughout the year, was melting due to the high temperatures.
Some posts about a possible apocalypse were already popping up on the internet, but unfortunately, many people scolded those who wrote them and called the writers alarmists.
One account of a person who claimed to be a Taoist encouraged those who believed in the apocalypse to stockpile supplies and not mind those insulting them because the apocalypse was really coming.
He even added, ’It is better to be safe than sorry, and God helps those help themselves.’
