Chapter 127: Chapter 126: Fireworks Before the Storm (2)

Below, many readers expressed their opinions, and Su Shu read through them. One of the readers said,

“For big items, why not break them down into small ones to trade? If you go around trading with small bottles and jars, it won’t attract envious stares, which could otherwise lead to danger.”

“That makes sense.”

“…”

Su Shu took a sip of tea, her eyes lighting up as she read this.

In the book, she was anxious and didn’t mention this strategy, but someone had noticed it. She randomly entered the space to check her reserves.

Well, she hadn’t bought many of those small bottles and jars, just enough to get by.

After exiting the space, as if possessed, she went online and ordered a large number of small items like those from MUJI—but of course, she chose the cheapest options available.

Three days later, the items arrived and she stored them in the space.

As the Apocalypse drew nearer, Su Shu’s nerves became increasingly taut. To prevent Xiao’ai from being affected by her, she tried to maintain a steady routine.

Xiao’ai had become even more well-behaved these past few days, which touched Su Shu.

The temperature had slowly started to rise again over the past two days, and some people had already shed their thick clothes for lighter ones.

The low pressure in City C seemed to be gradually dissipating, but only Su Shu knew that this was merely the calm before the storm.

The real crisis was lurking behind this tranquility, baring its fangs and claws.

Always concerned that the Apocalypse might suddenly arrive earlier due to various small changes, and after enduring the psychological pressure for several days, Su Shu decided to get ready in advance.

Three days before the Apocalypse, she began packing her bags.

One large, one small: one for her, and one for Xiao’ai.

She planned to move to a hotel near East City Gymnasium ahead of time. In the event of a disaster, the area’s higher ground would make the gymnasium the largest shelter for the affected population.

With many people gathered, comprehensive armed and medical forces would be available. In the Early Days of the Apocalypse, because of proper management, the sanitation and epidemic prevention work after the flood was done most thoroughly there, which later made it extremely difficult for others to enter. To prevent cross-infection of diseases, the government established several other shelters, but none were as well-equipped as East City Gymnasium.

So, Su Shu felt it was the best place to settle.

She made sure the doors and windows at home were securely closed and locked the door.

That day, Su Shu took her child and left home, moving away from the vicinity of the big river to book a three-day, two-night stay in a five-star hotel near the gymnasium.

The hotel was directly opposite the gymnasium, which would become a shelter for the disaster-struck populace in the event of an emergency.

The Eve of the Apocalypse.

In room 1209 of the hotel, with a great view, they looked out over the city’s nightscape.

After bathing, Su Shu and Xiao’ai snuggled under the covers together, reading a fairy tale book.

Xiao’ai lay in her arms as she held up the picture book and read to her.

The little girl in her arms was quiet and well-behaved.

“Once upon a time, there was a roe deer that got lost in the forest. It walked for a very, very long time, hungry and thirsty…”

Sizzle—

“Bang!”

Suddenly, the explosion of fireworks sliced through the pitch-black night sky outside the window.

Shattering the quiet night.

Xiao’ai suddenly climbed out of her embrace, turned her head, and looked out the window.

Su Shu put down the picture book, grabbed a small blanket, and wrapped Xiao’ai up tightly before carrying her to the window to enjoy the final fireworks display before the Apocalypse.

As the firecrackers sounded, she remembered—today was the traditional annual fireworks festival in City C.

The night sky was lit up by fireworks, which, together with the city’s dazzling neon lights, complemented each other.

Gazing at the beautiful and splendid fireworks display, Su Shu’s dark eyes sparkled with reflections.

Peaceful and stable life was, after this night, truly gone.
