Film and Television World Life Record

As Li Mu pondered this, he drove along the streets of Yun City. Before he knew it, he arrived at a street that looked somewhat familiar.

He looked around and recognized the familiar scenery at a glance. He had arrived at the vicinity of the Yun City Art Academy, where he had graduated three years earlier.

This is a second-tier college, which can only be considered second-rate in China. However, some of its disciplines are quite strong, such as the photography department that Li Mu graduated from.

After parking his car nearby, Li Mu discreetly went inside and familiarized himself with his alma mater in this world. In a few months, the high-temperature apocalypse would arrive, and he didn't know if the school would still exist.

I quietly walked around the school and was about to leave when a familiar figure suddenly looked over.

"Li Mu!"

"Zhao Qing!"

"Why are you here?"

"Aren't you here too!"

Zhao Qing said, "I come to the school often, but you, in the years since you graduated, you've only popped up in the group chat, and I haven't seen you at all. Where have you been?"

Li Mu said, "Where can I go? I can't stand the corporate atmosphere, so I'll just wander around!"

Zhao Qing laughed and said, "So, you've flowed back now."

Li Mu said, "Yes! After wandering around, we've come back."

Zhao Qing looked at him seriously for a moment: "You've changed quite a bit, especially your demeanor. I almost didn't recognize you just now."

Li Mu said, "You've changed quite a bit too..."

Zhao Qing laughed and asked, "Have you become uglier or prettier?"

Li Mu said, "You want me to praise you, don't you? But compared to the green-haired girl you were when school started, you do have more poise now, and you have a bit of a white-collar elite vibe."

Zhao Qing feigned anger and said, "You're the one who's a little brat! I remember when school started, who was it that had that punk hairstyle, looking as silly as could be? And you're calling me one of those girls!"

Li Mu's face fell, and he remembered that he was quite immature back then, thinking that since he had applied to an art college, and specifically the photography department, he had to have some artist's temperament.

Based on his experience at the time, artists were either known for their pigtails or for being unconventional. So, in a moment of impulsiveness, he got a completely different hairstyle and went to register at school.

He was dumbfounded. Even though he had his hair cut into a buzz cut before military training, he was still teased by his classmates for several semesters.

"Okay, let's not talk about this anymore."

Zhao Qing snorted smugly and said, "Fine, we won't talk then. When are you going back to Yun City? What are you doing now?"

Li Mu said, "I've been back for a few months, just coasting along!"

Zhao Qing looked him up and down a few times: "Just getting by? Doesn't seem like it! Look at your demeanor now, you don't look like someone who's just getting by at all. You have more presence than any of the successful people I've ever met."

Li Mu smiled and said, "Thank you for the compliment. How about you?"

Zhao Qing curled her lips and said arrogantly, "I can't compare to you. You're just playing around. Now you're making short videos."

Li Mu said, "Wow, you've become an internet celebrity. What's your account number? I'll follow you."

Zhao Qing reported it, and Li Mu was found quickly.

"Great! She's a super popular internet celebrity with millions of followers."

Zhao Qing said modestly, "Not at all! I don't even have two million followers, which is far less than those real big internet celebrities."

Li Mu said, "That's not bad either. It's not easy to have over a million followers. I see that many of your videos were filmed at school. Are you here to film short videos today too?"

Zhao Qing nodded: "I've planned a series of Hanfu videos and asked some female students to help me out."

Then, she looked at Li Mu and said, "Why don't you try going on camera? You'll definitely look more elegant in Hanfu."

Li Mu waved his hand: "Forget it, I can't handle this."

As he spoke, he was about to take his leave.

Zhao Qing suddenly said, "Did you know that Huihui has also returned to Yun City?"

Upon hearing this, Li Mu quickly remembered who Huihui was: "Jiang Hui," his former university classmate and class monitor. She was not only the class beauty but also the school's recognized beauty, the goddess in the hearts of many boys at the time, including Li Mu himself.

However, unlike her classmates Li Mu and Zhao Qing, her aunt taught at an art university in Italy and went to study in Italy after graduation.

Unexpectedly, he came back.

Curious, she asked, "Didn't she go to Italy to study? She hasn't graduated yet, right? Why is she back?"

Zhao Qing snorted and said, "Why can't I come back?"

Then he pointed to the sun in the sky and said, "The weather this year is too abnormal. It's already winter, but it's hotter than summer. They haven't seen such high temperatures over there for many years. They don't have enough heatstroke prevention equipment, so they gave us an early holiday."

Li Mu nodded: "I see! Then the universities around here will be on holiday soon too."

Zhao Qing said, "I heard they'll be released soon."

As she spoke, she winked at Li Mu and said, "The beautiful Huihui doesn't have a boyfriend yet! We've been having a lot of meals together these past few days, do you need any help?"

Li Mu smiled and said, "No need, thank you."

Zhao Qing laughed and said, "Why are you being so polite? I think with your current image, you still have a chance to win Huihui's heart. Maybe you can even win the heart of a beauty. Why not give it a try?"

Li Mu said, "No need for that. Isn't being single great? Dating is such a hassle."

Zhao Qing rolled her eyes and glared at him: "You're so infuriating! You don't appreciate my kindness."

"Back then, who was so shameless as to claim they had a crush on Huihui, longing for her with all their heart? Now… humph! You didn't even seize the opportunity when I gave you one. If I had just said something in the group chat, I don't know how many people would have fought tooth and nail for it…"

Li Mu smiled and said, "Yes, yes... Sister Qing is right."

As they talked, they gradually walked out of the school gate. Zhao Qing looked at the bus stop sign next to her and said, "I'll wait for the bus over there. How will you get back?"

Li Mu said, "I drove here."

Zhao Qing's eyes lit up and she said, "Great, you bought a car."

Li Mu laughed and said, "Cars aren't rare. Our classmates have bought plenty. Want me to give you a ride?"

Zhao Qing immediately stopped in her tracks: "Great! It's too hot now, and the air conditioning on the bus isn't working very well. There's all sorts of stench from sweat. I've had enough of it."

Arriving at the car, Zhao Qing said, "Old classmate, not bad! It's a BMW."

For most women, if they don't know much about cars, they only recognize the logo, not the model. They might not know it's a BMW M5, but just assume that since it's a BMW, it must cost hundreds of thousands.

After quickly dropping them off, Zhao Qing got out of the car, smiled at Li Mu, and said, "Huihui and I are going on a trip in a couple of days. We don't have a car, do you want to come along?"

Before Li Mu could speak, he said, "It's settled, I'll call you in a couple of days." Then he turned and ran away.

Li Mu shook his head and smiled, then quickly disappeared into the street.

Chapter 468 Preparations Before the Warning

Driving home, the sun was still blazing. The villa's heat insulation renovations were quite effective; stepping inside, the heatwave was blocked, and a cool breeze swept over me.

This villa, spanning 1,800 square meters and featuring two basement levels, was recently completed with interior decoration, and Li Mu moved in with Liu Yue and Sun Yuan.

Under the scorching sun, I walked around the school and sweated a lot, feeling sticky all over. I took a quick shower and changed into some clean clothes. Just as I got to the second floor, Sun Yuan came over with a pot of tea.

"Sir, please have some tea. It's so hot outside, I don't know when it will end."

Li Mu was indeed thirsty, so he picked up his teacup and drank it all in one gulp.

"Yes! We don't know when this extreme weather will end."

……

After a few words of reflection and some casual conversation with Sun Yuan, it was past four in the afternoon when the weather suddenly turned cloudy and became muggy. Soon after, a light drizzle began to fall.

Sun Yuan said happily, "It's raining, the temperature should drop."

Li Mu smiled and said, "Yes! It should be getting colder, but I don't know how many days the temperature will drop."

Lately, there's been a heavy rain every now and then, followed by a drop in temperature. However, the temperature drop is short-lived, and it quickly rises again.

Sun Yuan sighed, "It's winter already, but it's still as hot as summer. I wonder when this temperature will end, or the seasons will be all messed up."

Li Mu said, "These kinds of things are beyond human control. Let's just take it one step at a time."

……

The heavy rain gradually stopped around 8 p.m. The sustained high temperatures evaporated a large amount of moisture from the ground, and the rainfall was not excessive, so it did not cause any major flooding.

After the rain stopped, Li Mu walked out of the villa and felt the outside temperature. Liu Yue followed behind him and came over with a temperature gun.

"Sir, the temperature outside is 34 degrees Celsius."

Li Mu nodded, glancing at the dim night. The cooling effect of the heavy rain was diminishing, and the temperature was accumulating higher and higher, bringing the high-temperature apocalypse ever closer.

Just think, it's only 30 or 40 degrees Celsius now, and it's already raining so frequently. When the temperature rises to 50 or 60 degrees Celsius, the rate of water evaporation will be even faster, and more moisture will accumulate in the sky. How frequently will it rain heavily then? How much more rain will there be than now?

The combination of high temperatures and flooding will have dire consequences.

Li Mu suddenly felt that it was time to do some early warning work. Given the current extreme and abnormal weather, even if people doubted the authenticity of the warning information, they would still take some preparatory work in advance.

Similarly, although he stockpiled enough supplies, the total cost was less than two billion, and the company still has nearly two billion in funds in its account. Coupled with such high net assets and no debt, he is undoubtedly a high-quality asset in the eyes of banks. He could easily obtain large sums of money through conventional financial means.

Given this situation, having money in hand and channels to acquire funds, it would be a huge loss not to do something. In the future, if coastal areas are submerged, being able to purchase some local resources would reduce losses and preserve some of humanity's vitality.

He felt guilty watching so many supplies being destroyed.

Back at the villa, after thinking for a while, Li Mu dialed the number of Vice President Wang Qian.

"Boss, you're looking for me."
