Although Su Can knew it was impolite to interrupt Li Zheng, he felt that he had to remind them.

At the same time, Li Zheng stroked his chin and seemed to be deep in thought.

Li Jiayue giggled and said, “What? That’s not possible? Look at how hot it is… Even the glaciers in the Arctic have melted. How can the world be as cold as the North Pole in the future?”

However, as soon as Li Jiayue finished speaking, Li Zheng suddenly raised his head to look at Su Can and asked, “Earlier, you said it might be as cold as the North Pole… Why do you say that? Can you tell me more?”

“It’s just a wild guess. The weather became warmer since the year before last, but it was getting colder and colder during winter as well. I think the temperature might go in the opposite direction in the future,” Su Can said.

“What you said isn’t impossible. Thanks for sharing your thoughts with me,” Li Zheng said casually with a nod before he began to eat again. Su Can’s guess was not too different from his. At the same time, he also began to plan for the future.

“In any case, we’re only human. Faced with such a disaster, we can only try our best…”

Su Can nodded.

At this time, the atmosphere was slightly gloomy.

Seeing that the atmosphere was not right, Li Jiayue quickly said to ease the mood, “Alright, alright. When the disaster strikes soon, we’ll just have to deal with it one step at a time. With enough determination, I’m sure we’ll be able to survive!”

Li Zheng nodded. “That’s right. In any case, let’s just eat first…”

…

After everyone finished eating the food that Zhang Rong cooked, Su Can helped to clean up. After he was done, he did not plan to stay any longer and was ready to leave. After all, he still had yet to unload the things in his truck and carry them into the warehouse.

“Su Can, wait!” Li Zheng called out just as Su Can was about to leave.

“What’s the matter, uncle?”

Li Zheng looked at Su Can and asked, “Are there any other reasons for your guess earlier? To be honest, you’re likely right about the nature of the disaster…”

Su Can froze briefly upon hearing these words.

“Tell me the truth if you know something,” Li Zheng added.

Su Can took a deep breath. He naturally could not tell Li Zheng anything now. At the very least, Li Zheng had to wait until he was done with his preparation. After a moment, he turned around to face Li Zheng and said with a smile, “Uncle, it’s just a guess… It naturally can’t compare to the data from the research station. If there’s nothing, I’ll take my leave first.”

“But…”

Before Li Zheng finished speaking, Su Can turned around and left in a hurry.

Li Zheng could only sigh. He thought it was likely that Su Can was aware of something.

‘It doesn’t matter. I’ll ask him again the next time we meet. If it doesn’t work, I’ll just ask him about it every time I see it in the future. Sooner or later, I’ll be able to pry information from Su Can…’

…

At the same time, on the main street in front of a bank.

The mysterious man, who finally managed to buy something, looked angry as he walked down the main street.

Earlier, he had returned to the bank, and he wasted no time in informing his superiors about Su Can and told them about his speculation. Unfortunately, his superiors did not take his words to heart at all. They only shrugged and dismissed his words.

‘The weather is so abnormal now and the government has already issued a warning, but he still didn’t take this seriously. Those old geezers don’t know what’s good for them, and they don’t know how powerful Su Can is. Fortunately, I’m different from them,’ the mysterious man thought to himself indignantly as he made his way to Su Can’s house.

When he arrived, he looked at Su Can’s house and thought to himself resolutely, ‘No matter what I should cling to his thigh before the apocalypse arrives. Perhaps, if I pledge my loyalty to him, I’ll be able to gain something from him…’

…

At the same time, a senior official rubbed his temples in frustration. The notice had just been sent out a few days ago, but the country had already fallen into chaos. Although he had made sure to tell the public that it was not a major matter, the public did not seem to believe it at all.

The public began to panic and began to hoard supplies, causing a shortage in the country. If he did not open the granary today, the situation would have gotten worse.

Thinking of this, he could not help but feel a little troubled. Although the panic had subsided a bit, who knew what was going to happen if the country continued to distribute food like that?

At this time, his assistant, who was sitting at the side, said after looking at the data in his hand, “Sir, we can’t continue to distribute food like this… The disaster hasn’t even struck yet, but our warehouse is about to be empty. If we don’t do something, there’ll definitely be more problems in the future…”

“I know,” the senior official said after sighing, “Fortunately, the international food price is still relatively cheap. When the time comes, we’ll buy some to make up for the deficits. It’s good to distribute more food to the people. At least, they won’t be as panicked as before.”

He rubbed his temples again before he continued to say, “Have the researchers come to a conclusion about the disaster? It doesn’t matter if we lose the food, but we have to make sure the people are preparing in the right direction. Otherwise, everything will be in vain.”

“They’re still discussing the matter,” the assistant said. Then, he clicked on the tablet in his hand to access a camera in a meeting room before he said, “Look, they’re still in the midst of a meeting.”

…

“I think the disaster will be like the Ice Age,” Li Zheng said confidently to his colleagues.

Many of Li Zheng’s colleagues looked at him skeptically after they heard his words.

“Why do you say that?”

“Only a small part of the data points to this possibility. The other indicators are pointing in the opposite direction.”

“That’s right. You’ve said it yourself before, Li Zheng. Moreover, you also said that everything depends on the data…”
