The man frowned when he sensed Su Can’s wariness, he said, “Mr. Su, please believe me. I don’t have any ill intentions.” Then, he asked bluntly, “I hope you can answer me honestly. Do you really not know anything about the future?”

“Do you really want to know?” Su Can asked with a dry laugh.

The man’s expression brightened immediately upon hearing this, and he exclaimed, “Of course, I want to know!”

Su Can took a sip of his coffee and said, “I had a dream about the end of the world in the future…”

“Is that all?!”

The mysterious man looked at Su Can in disbelief. He could not conceal his disappointment at all.

“Yes, that’s all,” Su Can said with a nod, “The talk about the apocalypse in the group chat is just nonsense…”

Su Can took another sip of the coffee before he rose to his feet and said, “If there’s nothing else, I’m leaving…”

The mysterious man held his head and muttered to himself in confusion, “How’s this possible? Did I really think too much? I guess the end of the world is just nonsense…”

The disappointment in the man’s heart continued to grow.

Su Can sighed in relief as he thought to himself, ‘It seems like he believes me now…”

Su Can thought it would be very difficult to deal with the other party and did not expect it to be so easy. Although he felt sorry, he did not want to affect his and Li Jiayue’s lives. If everything went smoothly in the coming forty days, every time would be okay.

After a moment, the mysterious man stood up and bowed to Su Can before he said, “Forgive me for disturbing you. Perhaps, we’ll meet again in the future if fate allows it.”

Su Can nodded.

Just as they were about to leave, suddenly a staff member of the cafe exclaimed, “The volcanoes in Sakura Country have erupted!”

“What?!”

Su Can and the man, who were about to leave, stopped in their tracks immediately.

Su Can did not expect this at all. He brought his phone out and began to search for news. He was shocked when he saw a video of dozens of volcanoes erupting at almost the same time. The volcanic ash was like dark heavy clouds covering the entire country. The country that was flashing with neon lights turned dark in just an instant.

Similar to Su Can, many people were looking up the news on their phones as well.

“Due to the sudden eruption of the volcanoes, many cities in Sakura Country are covered in volcanic ash…”

“Unbelievable… This reminds me of what happened in Pompeii…”

The mysterious man standing next to Su Can looked at his phone anxiously, hoping to obtain more relevant information.

The scene they saw in the video was beyond their imagination. After all, the sudden eruption of a dormant volcano was very rare. Under normal circumstances, just one eruption of a dormant volcano was enough to attract the world’s attention. Today, not one, but dozens of long-dormant volcanoes erupted at almost the same time.

The mysterious had only calmed down slightly when a thought appeared in his mind. He raised his head and looked at Su Can in confusion. He frowned as he thought to himself, ‘Was he really just guessing?’

Su Can frowned as well. ‘This is bad…’

Su Can was certain that the apocalypse would only arrive forty days later. However, the sudden development was beyond his expectations. The weather and environment were likely to undergo drastic changes so he and Li Jiayue would have to hurry up and complete their preparations. He had to obtain more supplies as quickly as possible as well.

Su Can looked at the disaster safety guide that suddenly appeared on the trending searches and the list of food and medicine one should buy. It seemed like the governmentand other world leaders were already alerted.

Su Can subconsciously shook his head. It was a pity that these guides were published a little too late. If they had been published two or three months ago, they might have been useful. However, with only forty days left, it was not enough.

The originally lively atmosphere in the cafe turned solemn immediately.

Almost everyone put their phones away at the same time. No one said anything, but all of them left immediately.

Su Can shrugged and said to the mysterious man, “If there’s nothing else, I’m leaving. You know I have to make preparations…”

“Wait!” the man called out before he said, looking perplexed, “You’ve already obtained all the supplies you need, right?”

Su Can, who was about to leave, turned around and looked at the man warily. He asked, “You… How did you know?”

At the same time, Su Can thought to himself, ‘No wonder he’s been trying to find me and was so eager to meet me!’

At this time, Su Can was certain that the man had been following him and Li Jiayue without them noticing him.

“I was just guessing, I was just guessing!” the man said hastily. As soon as he saw the wary expression on Su Can’s face, he knew that he had been exposed. He continued to say, “I looked at the photos you sent in the chat and just came to a conclusion on my own.”

Su Can was rendered speechless. He had not sent anything at all. At the same time, he was completely certain now that the man had been following him.

Finally, Su Can pointed at all the people leaving in a hurry and said icily, “You better hurry up and start making preparations. Otherwise, you may not have a chance to do so in the future.”

Upon hearing these words, realization dawned on the man.

“F*ck, you’re right!”

Over the past few days, the man had been following Su Can to investigate Su Can, and he had neglected to buy the supplies that Su Can had bought. He did not expect the government to isSu Can a disaster warning at this time, and it caught him off guard.

“Then, I’ll take my leave now!”
