I didn’t expect Martha to lie on the couch for a whole day and still have the strength to scold me, “You useless girl, get me a glass of water!”
I pretended not to hear and called towards the bedroom, “Dad, husband, I need to go restock today, so I can’t cook. Let Martha do it.”
After saying this, I took the keys and went out.
Ignoring Martha cursing behind me.
Since it was the weekend, I took this opportunity to prepare some supplies for the apocalypse, not just food but also other necessary items.
When I got down to the supermarket, I found that there were a lot more people buying things today.
I listened for a while and found out that someone had seen news about an unstable asteroid moving near the sun, which could explode at any time and might affect Earth.
I checked my phone and found that there really was such news, and it was quite popular.
No wonder in my past life, the temperature suddenly dropped from over 90°F to 14°F in the middle of summer. It turns out it was caused by an asteroid explosion.
There was about a week left until that day. This time was enough for me to prepare the necessary supplies..
After I got to the warehouse, I called a moving company again. Under the guise of exchanging goods, I moved a batch of supplies from the warehouse and went with the truck to my parents‘ place.
My parents were very happy to see me come back.
My mom was still complaining that I didn’t tell her I was coming back in advance, so she hadn’t prepared any dishes.
I hugged my mom, nuzzled her, and said happily, “Mom, I love whatever you cook.”
I chatted with my parents for a while, then went to the basement of the neighboring villa.
The entrance to the basement was very well hidden.

I had forgotten to tell my parents about the basement entrance earlier. When the supplies were transported over, my parents looked for half a day but couldn’t find it, so they had to call me to ask.
I told my parents that the basement entrance was under the doghouse in the villa,
Only a basement dug by foreigners would have such thorough safety precautions.
When I was young, I snuck over to play in the neighboring villa and just happened to see the foreign uncle crawling out of the doghouse. I was curious then and wanted to go in and play too, so the foreign uncle took me to play in his basement for an afternoon.
After so many years, the basement’s electrical system was still intact, and the faucets still had water.
However, after the apocalypse comes, the power supply won’t keep up. I contacted someone to buy six diesel generators and enough diesel to last for nearly half a year.
I was also afraid that the basement’s insulation might not be up to standard, so I bought two fireplaces and a large amount of dry firewood.
The area of this basement was close to 1000 square feet, enough to store sufficient supplies and accommodate three people.
To focus on building my apocalypse safe house, I specifically quit my job. Every day Lonly went between the supermarket and the basement,
