1 The Great Catastrophe! Shelter!
"Sir, this is your package!"
In Heyang City, On a small street in the Third Satellite City, Two couriers in red uniforms took down a large package,
One of them looked at the young man beside them and asked, "Are you Sam?"
"Yes!"
Sam slowly spoke, taking out his ID.
The courier checked it, nodded, and said, "Do you need us to bring it up for you?"
"That would be great, thank you!"
Sam smiled slightly.
"No problem at all!"
The two couriers said, Parked the car, And together carried the heating unit Sam had purchased towards his house.
On the way, One courier couldn't help but say, "Do you think the talk about the catastrophe is true?"
"It must be, haven't you seen the news!"
The older courier sighed, "The solar flare has erupted, and soon there will be some kind of rays arriving, even if weakened by the atmosphere, it will still cause drastic changes to the global climate!"
Hearing their conversation, Sam couldn't help but interject, "Not only that, a meteorite is approaching. If the experts' calculations on its trajectory are correct, that meteorite will definitely hit the Earth."
"Yeah! No one can stop the catastrophe."
The three of them talked as they walked.
Today is mid-October 2021, nine years since the peak of the end-of-the-world rumors in 2012.
But no one expected, The widely prophesied apocalypse of nine years ago did not happen, Yet, nine years later, natural disasters have already arrived!
In May this year, A space station observed a meteorite, with a 99% chance of hitting Earth according to its trajectory!
In June, The solar flare erupted, Humanity could observe it, but the unobservable supercharged storm was inevitable for Earth!
Although the Earth is protected by its atmosphere, This unprecedented solar flare eruption raises the question: how much can the atmosphere really mitigate?
---
Past solar radiation, once diminished by the atmosphere, posed no significant danger to humans, But now, the arrival of the super storm will inevitably trigger drastic changes worldwide!
After delivering the heating unit into the house, The two couriers curiously glanced at Sam's home and asked, "Brother, is this your personal shelter?"
"Yes!"
Sam nodded.
The courier laughed, "It's quite rare to see personal shelters; most people go to national or corporate shelters."
"Yeah, with the catastrophe approaching, it's not a good idea to face the end of the world alone."
The other also said, "Our families have gone to a corporate shelter, built inside an air-raid shelter."
"To each their own."
Sam smiled slightly, He knew they meant well, so he wasn't upset.
Seeing Sam's determined face, the couriers said no more, greeted him, and then left!
Watching the two leave, Sam cautiously locked the door, And took out a metal detector to scan the surroundings.
After finding nothing suspicious, Sam finally relaxed and placed the heating unit properly.
Shelters, Were a common response by countries around the world after observing the impending solar flare eruption!
Governments built official shelters, Various corporations also built their own shelters, Naturally, Some people chose to build their own!
There are pros and cons to both large and small shelters, and they cannot be universally judged.
Sam chose a personal shelter!
Built underground with radiation-proof materials, cement, and steel, a small shelter of five hundred square meters!
The small shelter is not large, but it has everything needed.
A bedroom, living room, bathroom, plant cultivation room, workshop, warehouse, etc.
To build this shelter, Sam not only sold his apartment in the city at a low price but also took out a significant amount of loans.
Luckily, he was quick, After the state issued the "Catastrophe" white paper, House prices plummeted to rock bottom, and loans were halted!
As a result, Online loan companies were in a panic, Even some staff came with clubs, demanding Sam to repay the money immediately.
But who is Sam?
With a simple call to the police, those staff members were invited by the enforcers for a "tea."
During critical times, Enforcers also had certain privileges.
"The prices are getting higher every day, but luckily I have enough supplies!"
Sam placed the heating unit in a small room of about ten square meters, sighing with relief.
"This should suffice, it can be considered a simple heating room!"
Sam nodded slightly, carefully taking out a red "sphere" from his pocket.
"The InfiniteShelter Upgrade System, open shelter data!"
Sam thought to himself.
The next moment, A virtual screen, visible only to him, rose, Lines of text and data popped up.
...

Space: 521㎡.

...
"Ding! It is detected that the user already owns a complete shelter, would you like to bind The InfiniteShelter Upgrade System?"
