Chapter 199

When Erik reminded them to get ready, his expression was serious–no trace of a joke.

Given the recent unusual weather, Bruce Cook, Archie’s father, felt that something big was about to happen. He needed to make preparations for his family in advance.

“Just do what you always do–stay close to them” Bruce instructed Archie.

Bruce thought that sometimes, being simple–minded had its advantages. Some people preferred dealing with the smart, while others valued sincerity. Nyx and her group were clearly the latter.

Following Bruce’s instructions, Archie went to find Nyx the next day, only to hear that they were planning to move. He immediately slumped in the corner, feeling dejected. “Is there something wrong with my house?”

“Of course not. Otherwise, I wouldn’t have stayed here for so long.” Nyx reassured him. “But we can’t keep living in your house forever.”

She actually didn’t care whether they rented or bought a place, but now that they had a child on the way, buying a home seemed like the better option to them.

Archie acknowledged her perspective and promptly shifted his mood back to normal.

The weather was getting hotter and hotter. Even in the usually cool northeast, temperatures were approaching 104 F. Air conditioners had long sold out, and finding an installer was impossible. The south had already exceeded 104 F, with no sign of cooling down.

Cases of heatstroke were surging in hospitals, and in such extreme heat, people were growing irritable, leading to a rise in violent incidents.

Rain was hard to come by everywhere. Across the country, and even across the globe, there had been a concerning lack of rainfall.

Farmlands were suffering from drought, major rivers had dried up, and online rumors about a catastrophic famine were spreading, causing widespread panic.

To stabilize public sentiment, the government intervened, adjusting food prices to keep shelves stocked and encouraging remote work to minimize unnecessary exposure to the extreme weather.

During this time, Archie and his friends had been stockpiling supplies, staying in shape, and even acquiring some weapons. “We’re planning to head to the orchard tomorrow to gather fresh fruit and store it in the cold room.” They invited Nyx. “Dear sister, want to come along?”

Before Nyx could respond, the males surrounding her chimed in, adamantly rejecting the proposal, “Nyx will not be joining

us.”

the males treated Nyx like fragile glass, keeping her
