"It is reported that the lowest temperature at the poles has reached minus 86 degrees Celsius, and the world may experience a significant drop in temperature. Experts and relevant departments advise people to stock up on durable food, clean drinking water, warm clothing, and fuel as soon as possible."

...
China moves very fast. In less than a week, news of the government encouraging domestic Chinese to stockpile goods and overseas Chinese returning home could be seen on TV almost every day.
Although they didn't know how Guo Jia predicted the sharp drop in temperature, it didn't stop Banxia and Nanxing from feeling a little relieved. The two immediately called Su Yao, Cai Yuan, and Han Biao to invite them to their home for dinner.
Su Yao and his two companions weren't busy lately, so they quickly brought gifts to the door.
After dinner, Nanxing deliberately started a conversation: "Have you guys seen the news?"
Su Yao chimed in, "To be honest, I find it a bit strange. This winter is clearly much warmer than usual, so why is Guo Jia so enthusiastically promoting stockpiling? Could it be that war is about to break out?"
This winter, there wasn't even a single snowfall, and the temperature was even three to five degrees higher than in the previous two years.
Cai Yuan frowned: "Didn't the news say they were recalling veterans? Your guess might be right!"
Han Biao scratched the back of his head sheepishly and said with a smile, "I didn't think that much about it. I just did what the news said. My whole family is buying things for the house now, especially my mom and dad. They practically want to fill the house to the brim."
Nanxing looked at the three of them meaningfully: "You know I just came back from the US a few days ago, right? Actually, we were planning to rest for a few more months..."
Su Yao was taken aback, then realized: "It's not a war, it's a virus?"
Nanxing lowered his eyelids: "Banxia and I signed a confidentiality agreement, so I can't say more about the specifics."
The confidentiality agreement was signed when I left the security agency.
He handed the three of them the movie DVDs he had prepared in advance, saying, "I thought this movie was really good. You must watch it carefully when you get home! Don't forget!"
He deliberately emphasized the words "carefully" and "definitely".
Su Yao and the other two stared at the zombie on the CD cover, their eyes gradually turning to terror. They weren't fools; they naturally understood Nan Xing's unfinished meaning!
Su Yao patted Nanxing on the shoulder hard: "Good brother! I'll call Yunyun and Su Xiao right away and tell them to go home!"
Cai Yuan and Han Biao looked at Nan Xing excitedly: "Brother, we are deeply grateful!"
Nanxing cautioned: "The higher-ups are cracking down on typical cases of large-scale hoarding, so you must be careful when making preparations!"
Su Yao and the other two nodded firmly and assured each other, "Don't worry! We also swear we will never tell anyone about this!"
Nanxing risked leaking information to remind them, and they certainly couldn't be ungrateful!
Watching the three leave, Banxia comforted Nanxing, whose face was full of worry: "They have money and connections, they will definitely be able to make preparations in advance!"
She was willing to let Nanxing tell the three the truth almost explicitly because they truly deserved it.
Su Yao and Nan Xing are best friends, and their relationship is almost as close as that of brothers.
Cai Yuan became Nanxing's agent at the age of eighteen. The two went from being unknown to shining brightly, and never had any disputes over interests. They are always the best partners.
Han Biao has been working alongside Nan Xing since graduation, and it has been a full ten years now. Even when someone offered him an exorbitant sum of money to bribe him, he never betrayed him and remained devoted to being his assistant.
The three of them did not have a good ending in their previous lives.
Su Yao's girlfriend, Fang Yunyun, died at the hands of the alien plant, and his younger sister, Su Xiao, had both legs bitten off by the alien beast. He went from being spirited and high-spirited to becoming taciturn.
Cai Yuan and his partner did not survive the extreme heat;
Han Biao's parents and young child perished in the first wave of extreme cold, leaving only the couple living like zombies.
Nanxing couldn't help but sigh: "Forget it, I'll just create a group chat and send the list of supplies there first."
The list has been cut down, and everything that remains is a lifesaver.
Su Yao went home and called his sister and fiancée, then turned around and knocked on Nan Xing's door.
Nanxing looked at Su Yao with some confusion: "You mean, we'll cooperate with each other from now on?"
Su Yao gave a wry smile: "There are too many things to prepare."
After he finished calling his sister and fiancée, he went to a post-apocalyptic survival forum to learn from their experiences. He found that in addition to emphasizing weapons and basic survival supplies, people also mentioned modifying houses, upgrading vehicles, and preparing energy in advance. All of these things require connections and time.
At this moment, he had to be thankful that his family and Nanxing's family were not short of money, and that they had renovated the house to be as solid as an iron barrel for the safety of their family members, so there was no need to make major changes to the house structure.
After careful consideration, Nanxing told Su Yao about the preparations he had made last week. He knew that Su Yao wanted to help him and Banxia.
Su Yao's family has three capable adults; how could they possibly be too busy?
Su Yao didn't blame him; on the contrary, he felt very gratified!
He continued to warmly invite Nanxing to join him, since it would be safer for the two of them to look out for each other, right?
