Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
“An Ran is very cute. It was nice to get to meet the both of you.”
“We’re very grateful to you.”
“By the way, I just came back from the hospital. There may be a large-scale outbreak due to a flu. The government may restrict our movements soon. I suggest that you guys stock up on food and water, just in case.”
Hearing that, He Xin was surprised.
“No wonder I had a weird feeling today. That’s why I purposely wore a mask. However, I didn’t expect something to actually happen.”
An Ran tightened her own mask and asked, “Is the flu very serious?”
“It depends but it never hurts to be prepared.”
He Xin agreed, “That makes sense.”
He then looked at An Ran and asked for her opinion.
An Ran smiled and said, “Then, shall we continue shopping? It looks like the rain will not stop for a while.”
“Alright!”
Before the couple left, they expressed their sincere gratitude to Li Ran.
They returned to the supermarket.
Li Ran waited for another five minutes and the skies finally cleared up.
It got bright very quickly. Compared to earlier, the difference was like day and night.
Li Ran returned to her car.
While looking at all the food and drinks that she had bought, she thought of something.
‘The things in front of her had all disappeared.
‘They were all in that space!
‘However, they were not enough!’
Li Ran instantly drove to another supermarket.
This was going to be a long day.
She arrived at the parking lot of another supermarket. After parking her car, Li Ran took out her cell phone.
She called her parents and went straight to the point, “Dad, Mom, I went to the hospital for a check-up. The doctor told me not to get caught in the rain, especially the red rain that we’re currently experiencing. It’s very acidic and harmful to our bodies! You’ll get sick. He also told me to stay away from crowds. We need to hoard food and water. A flu is breaking out.”
“You definitely have to do as I say!”
Li Ran hoped that her parents would believe her and do as she said.
She also told her parents to spread her message to their relatives.
After that, she then hung up the phone, feeling relieved.
Li Ran walked and was almost at the entrance of the supermarket.
Suddenly, she stopped and dialed Lin Nan’s number on her phone.
Du…
The call ended.
She still could not get through to her husband.
Li Ran put away her phone and continued shopping instead.
She was only satisfied after buying the majority of the items from several supermarkets.
Finally, she then drove home.
All the preparations were done and Li Ran’s mind was at ease.
She began keeping tabs on current events.
Although she knew something bad was going to happen, she did not expect it to happen so quickly!
It was only the second day after she had stocked up.
Reports of the flu spreading on a large scale began to circulate. Everyone was urged to take precautions. People were advised to stock up on food and water so they would not have to leave their houses unnecessarily.
Li Ran was not surprised.
However, that night, there was a report of a person cannibalizing another on the streets!
It caused a huge uproar!
The news outlet was then disabled. It would not reconnect no matter what.
The gruesome image was engraved into Li Ran’s mind.
She calmed herself down and went to the front door to check if it was locked. After confirming that the door was indeed locked, she proceeded to close all the windows and sterilized her home.
She had also prepared some equipment that she could use to defend herself.
Then, she took out her phone. She wanted to make a call but she suddenly felt paralyzed.
Maybe she should give up on the rest of the people.
Li Ran felt that it was better if she cared less about others. It would be better if she maintained a good mood and took care of her baby.
She then leisurely listened to slow music.
Li Ran followed the instructions of a cookbook and began cooking herself a meal.
She was enjoying her food while watching a drama series.
“Sigh, if only my husband was here.”
Humans are social creatures and Li Ran was no exception. She wanted to share the moment with her husband.
The scene of the couple that she had met from the supermarket kept replaying in her mind.
“Stop!”
Li Ran tried to stop herself from thinking any further.
She turned on her tablet and continued to read about some useful tips for pregnant women that she had searched up last time.
…
“Try to finish your shower within 10-15 minutes, otherwise the fetus may suffocate…”
When Li Ran saw this, she immediately wrote it down as a memo!
