"What if, what if there's no apocalypse? Then we can buy this rice..." Wei Qin was still a little hesitant.
"Well, it would be better if there were no apocalypse. We could go to work and eat and drink as usual. But if there really is an apocalypse, the rice we've stockpiled will be our lifeline!"
Besides, how much does it cost to buy some rice? We're both the ones earning the money, so it's just for peace of mind, okay?
Wei Qin nodded, "Come on, I'll go with you!"
"Don't go now. You just bought some rice. If you go again, people will recognize you. Just stay home and tidy up under the bed. We'll hide the rice we bought under the bed for safety."
After giving his instructions, An Dongyang left. Following his instructions, Wei Qin took out all the clothes from under her bed in her bedroom and put them in the closet or under the bed in the guest room. She also put all the things she had bought that day under her bed.
Wei Qin decided that from now on, she would go to the supermarket after work to buy less rice, but more often, so that she could at least fill the space under her bed with rice.

That evening, Bi Qiaoan shared her observations and experiences of the day with Shen Yanming.
"I feel like the news of the apocalypse won't be kept secret for long."
"What's wrong?"
"A colleague in the office noticed today that this rainfall was unusual, and he had a very reasonable explanation."
"Qiao An, what were you thinking in your past life?"
"Well... actually, at first I was also afraid it was the end of the world, but nothing else happened except for the rain."
The country was functioning normally, and social order was fine, so I gradually stopped paying much attention.
Maybe at that time, I thought everyone was living their lives like this, and there was no panic, so I lied to myself that there was no apocalypse, and that I was just scaring myself.
"So don't worry, most people won't admit that the apocalypse is here. The apocalypse we're going to experience isn't like the obvious one with zombies, so it's easy to overlook."
"Well, we can't control others, we can only control ourselves. I don't know how many people in the office listened to me today, or how many of them prepared in advance."
Shen Yanming chuckled, "If you had heard these things in your past life, would you have made preparations in advance?"
Bi Qiaoan didn't hide anything, "I heard about it in my past life, but I didn't prepare in advance, so I'm not a smart person."
Shen Yanming hugged Bi Qiaoan, "It's okay, darling, your husband is here for you!"
Bi Qiaoan smiled and pinched Shen Yanming, "Are you praising your intelligence?"
That night, Shen Yanming once again held Bi Qiaoan and slept until dawn.
Hey, this shameless guy, he follows Bi Qiaoan everywhere, without saying a word, he just lies down next to Bi Qiaoan, wraps his long arms and legs around her, closes his eyes and goes to sleep.
Bi Qiaoan was also helpless. What could she do when faced with this persistent person? She could only go along with it!
And so, regardless of whether others went to work or not, Shen Yanming and Bi Qiaoan reported to work on time every day and left on time. Occasionally a few people would come to handle business, but most of the time it was just a few of their own colleagues chatting and joking around.
Yu Shui is a seasoned internet enthusiast, and here he is again to share the latest news with everyone.
"There were rumors in Meishi, Xi Province, that the apocalypse was coming, and people there looted all the supermarkets, frantically hoarding rice and flour. Later, the government stepped in to appease the public, and supermarkets limited purchases based on ID cards. As a result, no matter what it was, the warehouse stock could be replenished as soon as the shelves were sold out, and then no one looted anymore, and Meishi returned to normal."
"My goodness, that's a bit scary. Has anyone here gone shopping lately?" Li Yueya asked, patting her chest.
"That's normal, no one's scrambling to buy, but the price of vegetables seems to have gone up a bit," Wei Qin replied after thinking for a moment.
"That's normal, transportation is difficult in the rain!"

At the Imperial Capital Qinghe Alliance office, "Have you found out anything?"
The visitor was taken aback. "Some people online are speculating that the apocalypse is coming."
"The apocalypse? Relying on rain?" Although Li Cheng, the Grand Alliance Officer, thought so in his heart, he would not admit it aloud.
"We found no other scientific evidence."
"Are there any abnormalities found during the investigation?"
The person who came was silent for a moment, then said, "We are not sure if what we found counts as abnormal."
Tell me about it.
"The person in charge of Haishi Feiyang International suddenly decided to open a supermarket last October. They didn't advertise it much. After taking over the store, they just kept ordering goods, and the types of goods they ordered seemed to be prepared for the apocalypse..."
General Li placed his hands on the desk, interlacing his fingers, and remained silent for a long time before speaking: "Go investigate, and be polite!"
"yes!"
----------
On Weibo, netizens have been arguing wildly about the global rain. Some firmly believe it's the end of the world, while others say it's just a special natural phenomenon.
While the two sides were arguing, someone suggested stockpiling food, and many people responded to the suggestion immediately.
Just like in Meizhou, supermarkets were emptied of goods, and news of food shortages appeared online, causing widespread panic.
However, less than half a day later, the supermarket returned to normal and issued a notice stating that it had ample supplies and there was no shortage.
A public opinion crisis on the internet has been quelled, but the truth about the global rain continues to be debated.
----------
Feiyang International: "Dear colleagues, due to a month of continuous rain in Shanghai, many of our group's business operations have been unable to continue, resulting in losses for the past month. After careful consideration, the company has decided to lay off staff..."
When Xiao Fei heard the news, his legs almost went weak.
