After finishing my words, I stood up and walked into the room, pulling out a stack of documents.
"This is the evidence I've gathered," I said, handing the files to Dad. "It contains detailed data analysis and possible countermeasures."
Dad took the documents and began to read through them carefully. Although Mom was still somewhat reluctant, she leaned in to take a look as well. My younger brother curiously stretched his neck, occasionally gasping in surprise.
"Well, we will consider this carefully," Dad nodded.
My brother and I exchanged a glance, secretly relieved that we had finally convinced our parents!
In the following days, the weather grew increasingly hot, unusually so. The plants at home began to wither, and the fish in the aquarium were also struggling. The family started to feel anxious.
"Hao'er, do you think what you said might actually come true?"
Seeing their worried expressions weighed heavily on my heart.
"I don't know, but I have a bad feeling about this."
At that moment, my brother suddenly shouted, "Bro, come quick!"
I hurried over to see him pointing at the computer screen, which displayed an urgent notice:
"Due to recent anomalies on Earth and unstable magnetic fields, please minimize outdoor activities and stay safe."
My heart sank; my worst fears had come true.
An emergency family meeting was called once again, and this time everyone wore serious expressions. No one joked around or questioned my instincts anymore.
"Mom and Dad, we need to take action now," I said. "Starting today, we must stockpile supplies as much as possible and prepare plans for various emergencies."
My brother added, "Based on my recent observations..."
"The climate is changing everywhere, and disasters could strike at any moment."
Dad nodded, "Alright, we'll follow your arrangements."
Next, my brother and I began to organize tasks systematically.
Mom was in charge of purchasing food and daily necessities,
Dad was responsible for checking the household wiring and plumbing,
while my brother and I took on the installation of backup power supplies and water purifiers.
Although everyone was tense, there was no sign of panic;
we were all preparing for the impending disaster.
Zhao Gang is my neighbor. As an executive,
he is quite satisfied with his job and believes he is superior to anyone else.
However, his family environment is not good, often filled with conflicts,
with tensions between mothers-in-law and daughters-in-law, as well as between couples, creating an overall oppressive atmosphere.
Every day, he exhaustively commutes home from work past my house,
listening to our playful banter and laughter, which fills him with jealousy and resentment.
He feels that my dad is not as capable as he is but somehow lives a better life.
Over time, he has become particularly observant of our family.
He noticed that my recent behavior seemed a bit unusual.
Remembering the living conditions in my household, he thought it was illogical for us to need so many supplies;
it didn't make sense at all. Was I conducting market research for a business? He began to suspect and investigate my intentions.
I ran into him at the supermarket while making large purchases. He smiled at me, looking at my cart full of supplies with a complex expression.
Before leaving, he even reminded me that if I needed help, I could reach out to him.
Although our two families have a good relationship, I always feel that Zhao Gang is too heavy-hearted and I don't like to interact with him much.
After returning home, I stored the supplies properly. My parents asked if I bought so many things to become a boss. I laughed it off while my younger brother Lin Jie stifled a laugh beside me. My parents didn't say much about our hoarding behavior; they just reminded us not to be too ostentatious and to keep our wealth hidden.
In the following week, my brother and I continued to secretly stockpile supplies, mainly choosing items that were not easily noticeable, such as flour, rice, and noodles. These items are less likely to raise others' suspicions.
