There is no food to buy in the doomsday, so prepare to die.

I came to the swimming pool with great enthusiasm, changed into my swimsuit, and jumped into the pool impatiently. The coolness of the water instantly surrounded me, and I stretched my body to my heart's content and swam freely in the water. At this moment, I was completely immersed in this cool world, with only joy and relaxation in my heart, and I didn't pay attention to the high temperature reminder on the broadcast of the swimming pool: "Please note that the current temperature is still rising, and the temperature is expected to be 50-60 degrees next week. Please do not go out unless necessary, and pay attention to summer heat." After swimming in the water for a long time, I felt a little tired, so I went ashore and prepared to go home. When I finished swimming and turned on my phone, a notification instantly attracted my attention. It turned out that the company issued a notice that all employees should work from home. I was secretly happy in my heart, thinking that I didn't have to go to work in the company on Monday, and I could continue to enjoy the coolness at home. It was great. With a happy mood, I hummed a little song and returned home. As soon as I entered the house, I couldn't wait to open the refrigerator. Looking at the full of ingredients inside, I decided to cook a big meal. At this moment, I was completely unaware of the problems I might face in the future and was just immersed in this short-lived happiness. Little did I know that I would pay the price for this a few days later. As the temperature continued to rise, the air conditioner at home seemed to be a little powerless. Moreover, due to the lack of adequate preparation in advance, the food and daily necessities at home were gradually in short supply. I began to regret my negligence at the time, and my heart was filled with anxiety and helplessness. I had to go out to buy supplies in the high temperature. The hot air made me almost breathless, and I deeply realized the horror of high temperature weather. Obviously, I regretted my previous negligence. Because I always had a fluke mentality, I waited until there were almost no supplies at home before going out to buy. When I came to the supermarket in the scorching heat, the scene in front of me dumbfounded me. The supermarket was crowded with people, but the shelves were in a mess. Those daily necessities and cooling foods had long been snatched away by some foresighted citizens. I went around the supermarket again and again, looking in vain for even a little bit of supplies to buy, and my heart was filled with despair and regret. I was unwilling to return empty-handed, and hurried to the nearby market. However, the situation in the market was not much better. Only some defective products were left on the stalls, and most of the fresh ingredients and daily necessities had been sold out. Looking at this empty market, I felt more and more regretful. I kept blaming myself for not being prepared in advance and for not stocking up enough supplies before the hot weather came. In desperation, I could only go to some convenience stores to see what was left. When I walked into the convenience store, I found that it was also in chaos. Customers were anxiously looking for things to buy, and there were few goods left on the shelves. I found the only few buckets of instant noodles left in the corner of the convenience store, and I bought them all as if I saw a life-saving straw. Although it was just a few buckets of instant noodles, it was also particularly precious at this time of scarcity. Holding these buckets of instant noodles, I went home with a heavy heart. Along the way, I was reflecting on my behavior. If I had realized the severity of the high temperature earlier, if I had made good material reserves in advance, I would not be in such a predicament now. After returning home, I looked at these buckets of instant noodles, and my heart was full of helplessness and worries about the future. I don’t know how long this high temperature will last, and I don’t know what difficulties I will face when I go out to purchase supplies next time. After returning home, I opened the food delivery software with a glimmer of hope, but the scene in front of me made my heart sink to the bottom in an instant. On the food delivery app, all edible products were shown as sold out, and the blank page seemed to be mercilessly mocking my late realization. My mood became extremely heavy, and a sense of despair surged in my heart.
