The husband brought back food more than a week ago, and despite the couple's efforts to be frugal, they finished it all two days ago, leaving only a few bottles of water.

They could only last two days with this water. If their husbands didn't return soon, they would have to seek refuge in an official shelter.

“Mom, Dad will definitely come back. He said he’d be back soon after he left. He wouldn’t lie to Yan’er,” Chen Yan said firmly.

"Your mom and dad have already talked to each other. If there's any danger here, your mom will take you to the official shelter first, and your dad will come to find us there when he gets back," Li Ping said reassuringly.

She was lying to her daughter, but her husband, with his intelligence, couldn't possibly not have guessed it.

Because Pingzhou City only has one official shelter to guarantee basic living conditions; the other shelters are ruthless and exploitative.

Hearing her mother's words, Chen Yan felt much more at ease and tried her best to calm down.

"Okay, now that Mom has talked to Dad, let's go there and wait for him in a couple of days!"

"Hmm! Is Yan'er sleepy? You should get some rest! Mom will watch over you here, so you can sleep peacefully."

"Mom, I'm really sleepy. I'm going to go to sleep now. You've worked so hard."

When I wake up, I'll help Mom watch over things so she can get a good night's sleep. After saying that, she lay down on the bed and tried to fall asleep.

Li Ping gazed into the distance, knowing that her husband was likely dead, and she needed to make plans for her daughter and herself as soon as possible.

But now she doesn't have a car; it was taken by someone else long ago.

Her husband had taken their only motorcycle, and if they were to walk to the official shelter 60 kilometers away, she didn't know how long it would take. Moreover, the world was so dangerous these days, and she suddenly felt a little hesitant.

I'll go out tomorrow and see if there are any usable motorcycles or electric bikes around here.

Li Ping was making various plans in her mind, hoping that her daughter could grow up well in this chaotic world.

The night passed quickly, and in the dilapidated hotel room, Shangguan Wan'er woke up in the morning, holding Junjue in her arms.

She struggled to get out of bed, her eyes glazed as she scanned her surroundings.

The room was filled with a thick black haze, making visibility difficult and creating the illusion of being shrouded in darkness.

"This smog is terrifying! I could still see things outside when I was sleeping last night, but now I feel like I'm surrounded by black smog, and the visibility is so low that I can't see more than a finger's width away."

In the darkness, the warmth from the Lord's body brought Shangguan Wan'er a sense of comfort.

She gently hugged him, hoping to give each other some courage.

She didn't know what had happened, but she could feel that the temperature outside was much lower than last night, and the chill was constantly creeping into her body.

The dilapidated room could not stop the cold wind from seeping in, making her shiver.

Various screams came from outside the room, making Shangguan Wan'er's heart tighten.

She knew this was the sound of the apocalypse, a manifestation of terror and despair.

She couldn't imagine what was happening outside, but she knew she had to face it bravely.

"Wan'er, you're awake." Junjue opened his eyes and saw that the thick smog around him seemed to have no effect on him.

I went to bed early yesterday, so I woke up a little early.

"The whole place is shrouded in black smog. We can't see the doors or anything in the room. It's like being in complete darkness. How are we supposed to go out?" Wan'er said, her face a mixture of speechlessness and terror.

To say she's timid isn't quite accurate; she's not particularly timid either.

She used to enjoy watching horror movies, but she was never afraid of the sounds. The current weather and the various screams were just like the scenes in the movies, how could she not be scared?

"Wan'er, I have a special ability that allows me to see in the dark and see a distance of several hundred meters around me. For the next few months, let me be your eyes."

Seeing the fear on his girlfriend's face, he comforted her and explained.

"Wow! You can see hundreds of meters around you! When did I get a superpower? I want a superpower like that too!" Wan'er said with a look of admiration.

"Awoo~ Roar roar roar...."

"Woof woof woof..."

Seeing that both owners were awake, the two dogs, who had been restless all night, finally couldn't help but bark when they heard the various screams outside.

Hearing the two dogs' barks, Shangguan Wan'er smiled and said, "Wu Hei, Huang Huacai, can't you see the road either? Don't bump into the wall when we go out later!"

"Awoo~"

"Woof~"

Although she couldn't see where the two dogs were, she knew that they would respond as soon as she spoke.

"I don't believe this is how it is outside; I want to get up and see for myself."

"Wan'er, it's a bit cold outside. Since you haven't had any special abilities to enhance your body, put on this thermostatic sportswear before you go out." Junjue said worriedly, taking out a set of nano-thermostatic sportswear from his space and putting it on her.

He saw from the temperature reading on his watch that it was only about 7 to 8 degrees Celsius today. He has a special ability that allows him to wear short sleeves for several days in snowy weather with temperatures as low as -50 or -60 degrees Celsius, but normal people can't stand it without adding clothes.

"It's a bit cold out of bed, so I'll put on my temperature-controlled clothes and pants now."

Wan'er took the thermostat clothes and put them on, then put on the thermostat pants as well. Her body, which had felt chilly, became warm in about a minute. Zhou Shen's temperature was around 26 degrees Celsius.

"These nano-thermal clothing are really great. I'll make a few more for the two dogs when I have time."
