Chapter 43 Torrential Rain and Extreme Cold? 1
Chapter Forty-Three
Lin Xia's heart skipped a beat as she recalled the rain in reality, but there was no standing water, so it shouldn't be what she was thinking.
But would it be a downpour? She took out her phone and checked the recent weather forecast. It was indeed going to rain for the next three days, but only today would it be a downpour; the rest of the days would be light to moderate rain.
She glanced at the shopping cart beside her, then pushed it down the escalator and headed towards the underground parking lot.
The car was full. Lin Xia put on her hat, found a blind spot where the surveillance cameras couldn't see, and put all the things into her space.
After circling around, Lin Xia returned to the mall through another entrance and found an outdoor equipment store. There, she bought fifteen sets of windproof jackets, five pairs of rain boots, ten sets of full-coverage raincoats, a fire starter, a tent, a high-powered flashlight, a thick sleeping bag, a kayak with an outboard motor, two backpack boats, a rubber boat, and an air pump.
Lin Xia asked the shop owner to pack her things. She used her phone to book a room at the hotel next door for a month and had the shop owner deliver it there.
The boss said he would deliver when the rain stopped, but Lin Xia really has a phobia of crowds now. She added 500 yuan for delivery, and since it was right next door and the two side doors weren't far apart, the boss agreed to deliver when the rain subsided.
After waiting and waiting, the thunder finally stopped. The shop owner and Lin Xia pushed the things over together. Lin Xia booked a room and asked the shop owner to help deliver the items to her room. She immediately stored the items in her spatial storage and rushed to the nearby pharmacy.
After buying a bunch of common medications, Lin Xia returned to the hotel, told the front desk not to disturb her, and went upstairs.
She's a little unsure now, but it's probably related to the rain. She opened Weibo and, as usual, joined a WeChat group.
"Could it be a downpour?"
"It could also be extremely cold. If it rains for a long time, the temperature will drop, and if it continues for a long time, it will snow. If the water freezes, people could freeze to death."
"That makes sense."
Where is everyone?
"City S".
"L City".
"M City".
"H City".
"City Y".
......
"Tell us what disaster it is, and we'll start preparing!"
"Who can say for sure? There were hints in the last game, but who knows if there will be any hints in this game?"
While looking around, Lin Xia called the owner of the outdoor supplies store she had just visited, wanting to ask if they had any winter outdoor gear.
The shop owner said he only had some left over from last year. Lin Xia wanted twenty sets, plus shoes, a hat, and gloves. The shop owner was very happy and said that the rain had stopped and he could deliver them in an hour.
The owner moved in within an hour, and Lin Xia paid in full on the spot. After he left, she put the items into her space.
In the WeChat group, people were still discussing it, with most people leaning towards the conclusion that it was a natural disaster, since there were no other signs. Lin Xia agreed.
I opened a group-buying app and ordered 20 large bottles of mineral water from a nearby supermarket to be delivered to the hotel.
The items arrived quickly, and Lin Xia stored them in her spatial storage. After thinking about it, she realized that she had everything she needed—food, drinks, and clothes—so nothing should be missing.
Thinking of her phrase, "I am a lucky star!", could it be that weather disasters are also divided into regions? But looking at the weather forecast, it was thundering and raining all over the country. How could this not be considered wish fulfillment? Lin Xia sighed helplessly.
Lin Xia didn't check out. She changed into a light windbreaker, put on a hat, and left the hotel directly.
It appears to be a torrential downpour. Lin Xia found the tallest hotel and checked into a penthouse suite.

Many players came to check in, but most of them booked standard rooms on higher floors.
They looked at Lin Xia with suspicion, and some even muttered that this native was too lucky to be checking into the top floor right now.
Lin Xia pretended not to understand, looked at the "universal mouse" and thought to herself that this stupid game really has all kinds of items. She scanned the area with her mental energy, memorized all the people, pretended that she was not a player, and took the elevator up directly.
He went upstairs, leaned back on the sofa, and flipped through the news. Multiple robbery cases had occurred in cities across the country, and it seemed that someone had seen a superhuman.
As more and more players enter the game, such incidents may become more frequent. Lin Xia felt that he needed to be more careful in the future. If the ability users were exposed before the disaster even started, no matter which country it was, they would react quickly and would definitely not sit idly by.
While order still exists, you must keep a low profile and not reveal your identity. If you get caught, you may have to stay in the lab until the game ends. Just pray you don't die a violent death.
"I just checked into the hotel and ran into a local who paid over 100,000 yuan to move into a high-floor room. I'm so envious."
How do you know they're natives?
"Hey, where would you get so much money if you're not a native?"
"Didn't you see the news? A lot of people are looting jewelry stores and supermarkets."
"Would those people dare to openly spend money like that? Don't forget, it's not the end of the world yet."
"Too..."
"Why don't we just rob that native then? It would be even better to kidnap her and take her room."
Which hotel are you staying at?
"......"
Seeing this, Lin Xia rolled her eyes. Since there was no useful information, she decided to stop reading.
When I opened Weibo, I saw many people talking about the end of the world, but although the end of the world is talked about every year, very few people actually believe it.
"Haha, your world is about to end, we are your saviors!"
"That's right, only we can save your lives."
"I am the chosen one with lightning-type superpowers, come and worship me!"
......
Lin Xia tossed her phone aside, and soon she heard a constant stream of notifications in the WeChat group. She opened it and looked down from the window. Several police cars were parked at the entrance, and several people with supernatural abilities rushed out of the hotel.
But before they could run very far, they were all knocked down and carried into police cars.
People were surrounded, and some police officers were saying something. Lin Xia left the window and stopped looking. She wondered if the reason these people hadn't shown themselves before was because the previous two apocalypses had come too quickly.
The video in the WeChat group was forcibly deleted as soon as it was posted, but everyone knew what happened, so they became more discreet.
