Early in the morning, the phone rang like a death knell. Impatiently, I picked up the phone. It was my cousin whom I hadn't contacted for a long time.
"What's up, sis? So early in the morning..."
"Mianmian! I'm telling you something serious. Every word I'm about to say is not a joke. You have to listen carefully!"
I was jolted awake. My cousin's tone was so serious. Was something wrong at home!
"What's the matter, sis? Don't scare me."
"I'm telling you. The latest monitoring results from the National Climate Center show that the strongest La Niña phenomenon in history may occur. Many high-latitude countries have already entered winter in advance. The precursor is the increasingly warm weather, followed by a sharp drop in temperature! This is also the earliest winter for humanity. It is expected that a month later, the world will** an unprecedented large-scale climate cooling, that is, the ice age doomsday."
"What, cousin? What ice age doomsday? Do you mean like in the movie 'The Day After Tomorrow'?"
I was somewhat baffled. Was it April Fool's Day today?
"This is the news your uncle and aunt got from working at the meteorological bureau. There's no time! We've found a shelter and stocked up on supplies. You should prepare quickly too. Oh, and tell this news to your parents..."
My cousin's voice suddenly stopped, as if the phone was deliberately hung up by someone.
What was all this? My cousin's joke wasn't funny at all.
I ignored it and continued to sleep.
The next day, when I went downstairs to pick up my takeout, I found that the temperature was indeed strange.
It was already November. The sun was still scorching. The sky was clear. I wouldn't feel cold even wearing a single sweatshirt. I even wanted to wear a short-sleeved shirt.
After a week, the temperature remained abnormally warm and even showed a trend of getting warmer.
I couldn't help but think of my cousin's words. My cousin seemed to have never joked with me before.
I couldn't sit still. I decided to call my cousin again to ask what was going on.
"Hello, the number you dialed is not in service." A cold mechanical female voice came from the other end.
How did it become an invalid number?
I don't know if it was a woman's sixth sense. Remembering my cousin's serious tone...
Forget it. It's better to believe it than not.
I must start preparing today!
Thinking of this, I hurriedly called my boyfriend, Feng Jiying...
