1. Background foreshadowing: Abnormal climates occur frequently around the world, and experts call them "short-term extreme phenomena." The male protagonist Lincoln predicts the end of the world through industry data (such as a sudden drop in grain exports and abnormal fluctuations in energy prices) and begins to secretly stockpile goods.
2. Core Action: Lincoln transformed the old factory left by his parents into an airtight safe house and stocked up on supplies in different areas - staple food (rice, compressed biscuits), non-staple food (canned food, dehydrated vegetables), energy (diesel, solar panels), medicine (antibiotics, first aid kits), and even a homemade simple water purification system.
3. Conflict first emerged: After the second male Zhao Kai (Lincoln's child, from a well-off family) learned about it, he joined the neighbors to ridicule Lincoln for being "unfounded" and teased him in public, "When your food goes bad, I'll treat you to a big dinner." Some neighbors followed suit, but Lincoln chose to remain silent and not defend himself.
