Now that he has money in hand, Sinan will of course go shopping for all kinds of things.
Combining her and Cheng Suming's dreams, the high temperature will last for more than half a year. When the temperature drops, people will not have a chance to breathe. Hail, heavy rain, mountain torrents and other severe weather will follow, lasting for more than a year, and other natural disasters will occur.
In such a severe natural disaster environment, of course we need to stock up on supplies in advance, the more the better.
She was in a hurry to go to the nearby supermarket to do some shopping. Cheng Suming followed her slowly. Seeing that she was unfamiliar with the surrounding terrain, opened the map on her mobile phone, and wandered around like a headless fly, he couldn't help but smile.
In her previous life, Si Nan was decisive and ruthless, which always made people feel afraid of her. But no one knew that she was a little confused, making small harmless mistakes in many things. She also had a poor sense of direction and often got lost and couldn't find her destination. The same was true after her rebirth.
Cheng Suming followed her along the avenue for nearly half an hour. In the 40-degree hot weather, every step was torture. He couldn't help but walk to her side and pointed in a direction: "Go through this path and walk for about ten minutes, and you will reach the Dongfu Shopping Mall."
Si Nan understood that Cheng Su Ming saw that she was directionally challenged, so she hummed awkwardly and led the way into the alley nearby.
It was around ten o'clock in the morning, the sun was shining brightly and the air was hot and humid.
Under the scorching sun, the leaves of the green plants on both sides of the road were all wilted and curled up listlessly, as if they were about to be sunburned to death.
The ground was also scorching hot. Every step I took felt like being roasted by fire. I felt like my shoes were about to melt. The sky and the earth were like a big steamer. It was so hot that I was sweating profusely. I just wanted to find a cool place to hide.
Si Nan tried his best to walk in the shadows of the wall. He passed by three young mothers pushing baby strollers and heard them talking: "What happened today? How come it suddenly reached 40 degrees Celsius? The weather station didn't even warn us last night."
"I don't know. I don't know how long this hot weather will last. I have to pay more for electricity in advance. There are elderly people and children at home. If I don't turn on the air conditioner, they will get heatstroke, which will be troublesome."
"I really envy you. Your family is rich enough to use the air conditioner. My family is not very well off, and my mother-in-law is stingy. She won't allow anyone in the family to use the air conditioner unless they are dying of heat."
"That's right. I just checked the latest weather conditions on my phone. Wow, not only our Xingcheng has dropped to 40 degrees, but several nearby cities and even the entire country have all seen temperatures rise to 40 degrees overnight. What's more, the mountain city, which is famous for being extremely hot in the summer, has even reached 45 degrees! Such hot weather is not normal."
"No way? Is it that weird? Let me check it out."
"Holy crap! It's true. Not only did the temperature rise in our country overnight, but the same thing happened in many countries around the world. Look, it's even been released on the international news."
"Oh my god, what's going on?"
"Who knows, let's go home quickly after shopping, I can't stand the heat."
......
Upon hearing this, Si Nan took out his mobile phone and searched the Internet, and sure enough, several news pages about the global overnight rise in temperature popped up.
She randomly clicked on one to check, and apart from a lot of nonsense and professional terms, there was only one useful piece of information, which was that the sun far away in the sky was getting closer to the earth, causing the high temperature.
Sinan expressed his doubts about this information. Not to mention that it takes a very long time for the sun to leave its original orbit, it is impossible for scientists not to discover it in advance. Just the fact that the global warming occurred overnight is an incredible thing. People cannot find the answer in a short period of time, so of course they have to find a reason to appease the uneasy human beings.
Si Nan thought that nature was still kind to mankind. At least it gave such a big hint at the beginning of the apocalypse.
She believed that powerful countries would explore the cause of the high temperature overnight, and then analyze and prepare for various natural disasters. And given Country Z's nature of preparing for a rainy day, she believed that Country Z would prepare even more.
She had already made the reminder and had a clear conscience, so she turned off her phone and soon arrived at a huge shopping mall.
She and Cheng Su Ming were both sweating profusely, and the sticky sweat was sticking to their bodies, which was really uncomfortable. The air conditioning in the mall was turned on very high, and the cool temperature made them both feel relaxed and alive, and they let out comfortable sighs together.
This shopping mall is very large, with fifteen floors. The upstairs is filled with clothes, daily necessities, electronic products, gold and silver jewelry, outdoor supplies, etc. There are four floors downstairs, the bottom two floors are parking garages, and the top two floors are underground supermarkets. There is a large area outside the supermarket, which is full of small food stores and milk tea and beverage shops.
Many people who are reluctant to turn on the air conditioner at home are bustling around in the store, ordering some food and drinks, sitting on the tables and chairs placed outside the store, enjoying the air conditioning, eating and drinking, playing with their mobile phones, and chatting, feeling so comfortable.
Si Nan walked outside for nearly forty minutes and was almost exhausted. The first thing she did when she entered the mall was to rush to the milk tea shop to buy the guava milkshake she wanted. At the same time, she asked Cheng Su Ming what he wanted to drink. After hearing his answer, she ordered him a cup of coffee.
The two of them took their drinks and found an empty seat on the rows of chairs outside the store. Si Nan thought that it was the end of the world and he might not have the chance to drink milk tea, so he asked Cheng Su Ming: "Is there any way to buy everything I want?"
If this was said a day ago, it might have seemed a bit abrupt. After all, Cheng Suming hadn't been back to China for six or seven years. He had just returned and hadn't contacted his relatives and friends in China. What connections could he have?
Now that they have obtained their marriage certificate and become a legal couple, and have common dreams and secrets, Si Nan has subconsciously developed a certain reliance on Cheng Su Ming and will ask for his opinion on everything he does.
Cheng Suming put down the coffee in his hand, thought for a moment and said, "The suppliers in major domestic shopping malls actually have a full range of goods. As long as you pay enough, even if you want airplanes and cannons, they will find a way to get them. It depends on whether you are willing to pay more."
Si Nan was surprised: "According to what you said, if I want milk tea, ice cream, cigarettes and alcohol, gold and silver jewelry, even decoration supplies, gasoline and the like, they can get them?"
"In theory, yes."
Cheng Su Ming stood up and asked Si Nan to follow him. The two found the person in charge of the mall and went into his office. Cheng Su Ming took the lead in a series of long talks and finally decided to buy all kinds of ice cream that Si Nan wanted, cigarettes, alcohol, instant milk tea and coffee, mineral water of different milliliters, water barrels, self-heating rice, flour, grain and oil, snacks, meat jerky, a variety of fruits and vegetables, some cosmetics, skin care products, outdoor products, bicycles, human-powered tricycles, many mobile phones, several computers, batteries, more than a dozen 20,000 mAh power banks, memory disks, more than 20 tons of gasoline, etc., nearly two million worth of supplies.
Si Nan paid a deposit of 500,000 yuan in advance. The person in charge sent the two out of the mall with a smile on his face and guaranteed that all the supplies would be delivered to the warehouse rented by Si Nan within a week.
When the two of them left the mall, a fierce heat wave hit them. Si Nan was so hot that he used his hands as a fan to fan himself.
Cheng Su Ming turned around and went to the mall. He used the limited balance on his mobile phone app to get a rechargeable mini fan and brought it to Si Nan to fan her. He also put a sun hat on her head and stuffed a cup of grapefruit tea with a lot of ice cubes into her hand. He then stood on the side of the road under the scorching sun, preparing to take a taxi home.
He has a car in China, but he was away from the country for many years and lent it to a friend in China. The friend broke the car two years ago and said he would buy him a new car when he came back. He hasn't told his relatives and friends about his return yet, so Si Nan has to take a taxi and go home with him.
Sinan felt that the wind from the fan was hot, but the hat blocked the scorching light, making her eyes feel much better. The icy grapefruit tea in her hand felt very comfortable when she drank it, and made her hot mood much better.
Looking at the tall and thin man standing in the sun not far away and hailing a taxi, Si Nan thought that it would not be bad for her to marry Cheng Su Ming. At least Cheng Su Ming was much more considerate than Zou Shichu and could do these extremely subtle things.
Zou Shichu had been in love with her for many years and always said that he loved her, but he had never stood in her shoes or done anything for her.
In the same scenario, Zou Shichu would only let her stand in a cool place while he booked an online taxi on his mobile phone and waited on the scorching street for a car that would arrive at an unknown time.
Zou Shichu would not think of buying her a mist fan, would not put a sun hat on her, would not buy her an extra drink, and would not stand on the street to stop taxis running around, just because their family was not well-off and they had to save money at all times.
There is no harm without comparison. Si Nan never thought of living a rich and luxurious life with Zou Shichu. She just wanted him to care about her more, be considerate of her, and love her more. However, he even trampled on the most basic feelings. Then, she turned around and married Cheng Suming without any psychological burden.
Si Nan lowered her head and took a sip of the icy grapefruit tea. She sighed again that Cheng Su Ming's dream was indeed very real. He even understood her taste very well and knew that she liked this sour and sweet grapefruit tea. He bought it for her without asking her. It was icy and cool in her mouth, and the aftertaste was sour and sweet, with the unique aroma of grapefruit tea, which made her sigh with satisfaction.
When he looked up, he saw a black Mercedes rushing towards Cheng Suming who was standing on the street.
Si Nan opened his eyes wide, his heart stopped, and a loud scream that didn't belong to him came out of his throat: "Be careful!"
When Cheng Su Ming heard her voice, he reacted quickly and ran two steps to the side. The Mercedes-Benz passed the place he had just left and rushed towards a restaurant on the street. As the people inside screamed and tried to avoid the car, the car crashed into a wall inside, made a loud bang, and stopped.
Si Nan ran to Cheng Su Ming, took his hand with a pale face, and looked him up and down: "Are you okay? Did you get hurt?"
"I'm fine." Seeing that her face turned pale with fright, Cheng Suming felt a flash of warmth in his heart. He patted her hand soothingly and turned to look at the restaurant that was hit.
The restaurant had half of its wall knocked down by the Mercedes-Benz. Two customers eating inside were unable to dodge and were hit from the head with blood coming out and broken bones. The driver was also badly hit and was stuck in the driving seat. Smoke was coming out of the front of the car and oil was still leaking from under the body of the car. The situation was extremely critical.
The restaurant owner reacted very quickly and organized the people around him to carry out rescue. With the help of countless enthusiastic people, the injured and the driver were rescued from the restaurant very quickly.
Just as everyone left the restaurant, the car exploded, and the walls and glass of the restaurant were blown everywhere. Everyone was scared and ran away, pointing and talking.
Afterwards, the news reported and the driver was interviewed, and it turned out that when he was driving on that street, he was dazzled by the light reflected from the scorching sunlight on the road signs on both sides of the road, which caused a blind spot when he closed and opened his eyes. The car deviated from the lane and rushed to the side of the road at high speed. It was too late for him to brake, which caused the accident.
