Many believed the worst was over—that life would soon return to normal.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Under that fragile optimism, the rain continued.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Three days passed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The temperature dropped steadily, returning to something almost bearable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On the fourth day, people began venturing outside again, cautiously testing the world.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But that night... The rain intensified.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wind howled through the darkness, a low, ominous roar.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Inside, however, Suzy and Leonard remained untouched by the storm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tonight, they were having hot pot.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>An induction cooker sat on the coffee table, the tomato broth bubbling vigorously, releasing a rich, inviting aroma.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thin slices of beef, tripe, shrimp paste, and fresh vegetables filled the cart beside them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Outside—cold rain and raging wind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Inside—warm light, rising steam, and comfort.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They sat together, dipping slices of meat into the rolling broth, occasionally clinking their glasses of iced drinks with a crisp sound.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Ah, this is life! Haven’t had hot pot in ages!\" Leonard exclaimed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was only because of Suzy that he could live like this—even in the apocalypse.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Without her storage space, fresh ingredients like these would be unimaginable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He’d probably be gnawing on stale bread instead.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Suzy sipped the tomato broth, eyes narrowing in quiet satisfaction.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Good food on nights like these... felt like indulgence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After the meal, Leonard took it upon himself to clean up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The trash was neatly collected—and with a flick of Suzy’s hand, it disappeared into her space.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Another advantage.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The space could process waste automatically.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Otherwise, with days of accumulated garbage—in this kind of heat—ugh, she didn’t even want to imagine the smell.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Full and relaxed, the two settled onto the sofa.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Leonard returned to his phone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The network in A City was surprisingly resilient—still functioning despite everything.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even after all this time, some people remained connected.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Most of what he knew about the outside world came from there.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Post a question, and replies would come—strangers from across the country sharing updates from their regions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Meanwhile, Suzy sat opposite him, checking the surveillance feed from the Kale family villa.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She had been monitoring it regularly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the moment, the Kale family was doing... relatively well.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tommy’s girlfriend—though troublesome—hadn’t pushed things to open conflict yet.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Both sides were still \"holding back,\" leaving Suzy with little to watch.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She glanced at the empty living room on the feed, then exited, bored.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Afterward, she sent messages to Derek Martin and Thomas Kim. She had kept in touch with them during this time as well.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Derek conserved battery, so their conversations were brief—just daily check-ins.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thomas, on the other hand, had power—but no conversational skills.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After a few exchanges, Suzy usually lost the will to continue.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Talking to him felt like talking to a block of wood.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Adam Bennet checked in occasionally, though he was often busy and disappeared for stretches.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Suzy had come to the realization that trying to build relationships through messaging alone was nearly impossible.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If she wanted to make real progress... It would have to be face-to-face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But under the current circumstances, that wasn’t feasible.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She sighed quietly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Suzy, look at this.\" Leonard suddenly handed his phone over.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What is it?\" she leaned in.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"A friend of mine sent this,\" he said, opening an image. \"His area’s already flooded.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The photo showed murky yellow water swallowing the first floor of a house, leaving only the upper half of the windows visible.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Furniture floated aimlessly on the surface. A bleak, suffocating scene.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Suzy inhaled sharply. \"That fast? Where is he?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"A neighboring city. Low-lying area. It’s been raining nonstop—so it flooded quickly.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Suzy stared at the image for a long moment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Leonard’s voice broke the silence. \"Do you think... A City will be next?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Suzy nodded slowly, her expression serious.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She didn’t want to admit it, but it was inevitable. The rain wouldn’t stop.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And sooner or later, A City would drown. When that time came, half the city would be submerged beneath the floodwaters.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Only those living on the highest floors would have a chance to survive.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>***\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A week later, the rain still hadn’t stopped.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At first, people had been thrilled by its arrival.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But after seven straight days of relentless downpour, that excitement began to curdle into unease.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Unlike the blinding sun of the heatwave, the world now lay beneath a dim, oppressive sky. Wind howled day and night, growing stronger with each passing hour.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Trees bent and shuddered under the force, their leaves thrashing wildly, as though they might be torn apart at any moment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One night, lightning split the sky—jagged streaks of violet illuminating the world as bright as day.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That was when Suzy smelled danger.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The typhoon was coming.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>***\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For a brief moment, the rain stopped.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After a full week of continuous downpour, the sudden silence felt almost unreal.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Downstairs, people were already celebrating. \"It finally stopped!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seven days of rain had worn everyone down.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Still, the storm had brought one blessing—no one had to worry about water anymore.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The typhoon arrived at night.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>By then, Suzy was already asleep.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She had gone to bed early after dinner.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thanks to the rain, the temperature had dropped to something almost cool—she no longer had to endure the suffocating heat, and her sleep had been deep and peaceful.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Until... In the middle of the night, a violent rattling jolted her awake.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her window was shaking wildly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She shot upright in bed only to realize the window had been blown open.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A blast of icy wind and rain surged into the room, whipping the curtains into a frenzy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She leapt out of bed and rushed to close it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Outside, lightning tore through the sky again—purple streaks splitting the darkness, turning night into day for a heartbeat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In that flash of light, the world beyond revealed itself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A scene of chaos.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The wind roared, tearing through everything. Her hair lashed wildly around her face as she struggled forward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It took all her strength to drag the window shut and lock it again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Breathing hard, she squinted through the rain-streaked glass.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Below, the world had become a nightmare.\u003C\u002Fp>",1010,"2026-05-30T15:23:36.944Z","2026-06-01T04:31:34.774Z",1,"novelbin.me","a417ca85445ad8ca5dcfdf897ffa757dc83da6e2fc3f487b97c322f926153f5b","sickly-cannon-fodder-spoiled-by-the-powerful-apo-chapter-100","sickly-cannon-fodder-spoiled-by-the-powerful-apo-chapter-98",210,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fsickly-cannon-fodder-spoiled-by-the-powerful-apo-cover.jpg"]
