Amusement park

As the apocalypse draws closer, people don't seem to notice anything unusual.

They simply think that this year's autumn has come earlier than usual.

But so far, the temperature has dropped to below zero, although it hasn't reached the freezing point.

For a city accustomed to warmth, this level of cold isn't easy to endure.

Seeing Gu Lin staring out the window in a daze, Gu Xue pondered for a moment before speaking up: "Brother, as the weather gets colder, should we go buy some heating supplies?"

Gu Lin was about to refuse, but the words stopped at his lips.

Although there were plenty of heating supplies in the space, Gu Lin wasn't ready to confess to Gu Xue directly, so it seemed that they indeed needed to prepare some supplies openly.

Moreover, the apocalypse was only two days away.

Two days later, after the brief darkness caused by the stellar explosion that would engulf the world, the entire planet would enter an ice age.

The world would never be able to return to its current splendor.

While everything is still intact, taking Gu Xue out for a stroll wouldn't be a bad choice.

When the apocalypse truly arrives, the siblings will have plenty of time to exercise at home.

With this in mind, Gu Lin hopped off the treadmill and shut down Gu Xue's as well: "Let's go, get changed and go out to play!"

"Okay!" Gu Xue cheered, hopping off the treadmill and quickly returning to her room to find clothes.

Gu Lin also went back to his room, then stepped into the space and changed into something random.

Seeing Gu Xue wearing a cotton jacket, Gu Lin frowned disapprovingly: "Change into something else. Wear the wool coat instead. I remember buying you a cashmere coat. Go change into that one."

Although Gu Xue found it strange, she still complied and went back to her room.

Actually, Gu Lin could understand Gu Xue's desire to wear a cotton jacket, considering they had just gone outside and felt how cold the wind was.

But there would be even more terrifying extreme cold later on, so if Gu Xue wrapped up tightly now, what would she do when it got even colder later?

It's the principle of dressing lighter in autumn to withstand the cold in winter.

Therefore, Gu Lin didn't wear too much either, just a windproof jacket.

The siblings dressed neatly, packed their bags, and headed out.

Gu Lin still drove his car, but their first stop wasn't a place to buy anything, it was the amusement park.

When Gu Xue saw the entrance to the amusement park, her eyes lit up: "Wow! Brother, is today a holiday?"

Although their parents were like prisoners and couldn't come home for several years, they weren't truly unable to return.

When Gu Xue was eight years old, their parents came back together once.

That time, their parents took them siblings to the amusement park and almost tried every ride.

That was probably the happiest day for Gu Xue so far.

With their parents and brother by her side, and with the rides in the amusement park to enjoy, she didn't have to worry about anyone bullying her at school or about the nanny playing tricks on her.

But it was only for a few days.

Until now, their parents sacrificed themselves for the country, and Gu Xue no longer had her mom and dad.

But she still had her brother, who would continue to protect her.

Gu Lin looked at Gu Xue with an exceptionally gentle gaze: "It's not a holiday, I just wanted to take you out to play."

Although Gu Xue had inherited her parents' intelligence, she was still just an eleven-year-old child, and playing was her nature.

She was overly clever, knowing not to worry her brother and to let him work with peace of mind, so she appeared calm and gentle.

But being playful and mischievous was every child's instinct.

Gu Xue was no exception.

Upon hearing Gu Lin's words, Gu Xue immediately pounced on him and gave him a big bear hug:

"Brother, you're so kind!"

Gu Lin smiled and patted Gu Xue's back, then took out a water bottle from his backpack: "Have some water first."

They had just climbed thirty floors not long ago, and to ensure that Gu Xue could enjoy herself to the fullest, he decided to let her drink some spring water from the space.

Gu Xue happily took a big gulp and then dragged Gu Lin towards the ticket booth, waving her hand: "Two of everything, for all the rides!"

Gu Lin indulgently watched the little girl unleash her nature and nodded to the ticket attendant: "Cash."

This cash was still stored in Bai Weiwei's space, so might as well use it.

Before the apocalypse arrives, if they don't spend it all, it would be a waste!

As soon as they got the tickets, Gu Xue was like a little butterfly with wings spread, pulling Gu Lin towards the less crowded rides, and "splurged" on the whole place.

It must be admitted that children's energy far exceeds that of adults.

After playing through the entire set of rides, Gu Xue was still full of energy, while Gu Lin was starting to feel tired.

His body had already been nourished by the spring water from the space, and he even had dual abilities!

It seemed that the training for Gu Xue had been too light before.

This girl was clearly very energetic!

Afraid that she might actually get tired, Gu Lin occasionally gave her some spring water from the space.

However, after getting a super-sized cup of milk tea filled with toppings, Gu Xue decisively chose to abandon the water bottle that Gu Lin handed her.

Gu Lin retrieved the water bottle with mixed feelings and continued to offer her popcorn.

After experiencing all the rides, Gu Xue tugged on Gu Lin's arm again: "Brother, I still want to ride the roller coaster and the freefall!"

Gu Lin, helpless, bought four tickets for each ride again, going straight for the double portion for each person.

Gu Xue cheered and rushed straight to the seats. Let it be a last celebration.

Although they had indeed been a bit too extravagant, Gu Lin didn't intend to stop her.

He hoped that long after, when Gu Xue recalled the days before the apocalypse, she would still have a smile on her face.

After playing at the amusement park until it got dark, Gu Lin finally took Gu Xue to start shopping.

However, Gu Lin didn't rush to buy heating supplies, as there were plenty in the space. He first took Gu Xue to the electronics store.

Popcorn machines, ice cream makers, bubble tea machines, sealers, coffee makers, tea brewers...

Every item that Gu Xue had just enjoyed, he bought three of each machine that could make it.

Gu Xue was stunned by what she saw.

But thinking about the storage room her brother, who was like a hoarding squirrel, had prepared, she ultimately chose to remain silent.

Her brother must have his reasons for buying so many machines!

After buying all these things, Gu Lin then took Gu Xue to buy items like coal and portable heaters.

After scheduling the delivery time, Gu Lin took Gu Xue to the mall again and bought her several new outfits.

Gu Xue particularly liked a fluffy hat made of high-quality wool with two cute bunny ears on top.

Gu Lin bought twenty of the same style with a wave of his hand.

There was still a lot of cash left on hand, so they had to hurry up and spend it all!
