Chapter 124: Chapter 124: This Kid, Must Be Learning to Be a Detective

“You say he’s ruthless, brave, cunning, and capable, I believe it. But to say he can divine and understand prophecies… I’m afraid that’s just a ans to bewitch the public! After all, from ancient tis to the present, when the common people fall into despair, they are especially prone to believe in whatever nonsense. Otherwise, if he was that impressive, why didn’t the state conscript him?”
Su Dai finished speaking, glanced at Sun Jingtao with his furrowed brows, and changed the subject:
“Speaking of prophecies, I do rember that before the high temperatures hit, people from several countries were frequently posting apocalypse disaster warnings on microblogs. Those people were really gods! It’s just that at the ti, everyone thought it was a joke. And since those IP addresses were foreign, many thought they were from hostile forces abroad, trying to bewitch the hearts of our people, so nobody really took it seriously.
Do you think if the internet hadn’t crashed, those countries’ officials would now be searching for these people who posted the apocalypse warnings?”
“They probably would be. Although the internet has crashed and the power has been out, this is only from the perspective of ordinary citizens. Both dostically and abroad, a lot of the equipnt and instrunts used by official higher-ups or military higher-ups can still operate normally thanks to certain technologies.
...
It’s just that those things have a small radiation range, and we common people don’t have access to them.”
After Sun Jingtao finished speaking, he got up to check on Tian Jiliang’s breathing, then pulled open his eyelids to take a look.
He quickly took a rcury thermoter to take his temperature, confird there was no issue, and then ca back to sit at the table.
“In fact, I speculate that the person abroad who posted about the apocalypse was likely just one person, and soone from our own country at that. His goal wasn’t to bewitch people, but rather to remind our citizens to prepare in advance,” Ye Qing analyzed, his fingers interlocked in front of him on the table.
Jiang Yan listened to Ye Qing’s words and glanced at him subconsciously.
This kid, was he trained in investigation?
Every analysis he makes hits the nail on the head.
“Ah, how could that be? The IPs are different, the accounts are different, the countries are different. Who has that much clout and that much free ti?” Su Dai found it sowhat incredulous.
“Perhaps he just happened to be traveling around the world, or perhaps he was stocking up on supplies globally. So weapons and energy sources are obviously much more accessible abroad than at ho.
As for the IP addresses and accounts, that’s just a thod to protect oneself. It’s just a pity that at the ti, I didn’t believe it either. It was only after the high temperatures hit that I suddenly rembered and felt that he probably did know sothing.
But this person, whether in terms of financial strength or other aspects, indeed far surpasses many others.” After Ye Qing finished speaking, his brows furrowed slightly, then he shifted the topic:
“So I speculate that Ma Longbiao is probably not playing tricks, but like that person, he truly knows sothing.”
Jiang Yan didn’t know how the topic ended up on her.
But she listened intently with a calm expression, like soone just enjoying the spectacle.
After hearing Ye Qing’s analysis, Su Dai felt it made a lot of sense:
“If he’s also soone from our country, will the governnt send people to look for him? But his IP is from abroad, probably can’t find him anyway. I rember before the apocalypse, those with fruit phones couldn’t provide any user information to the country.”
“The whole world has encountered natural disasters, and it’s likely that governnts of different countries will cooperate. This kind of IP tracing information would naturally cease to be a secret.
Quietly cooperating to find that person wouldn’t be difficult.” After Ye Qing had spoken, he looked at Jiang Yan, who had been silent, and asked her:
“What do you think, Jiang Yan?”
Jiang Yan glanced at him and smiled noncommittally: “Now, finding the person is useless, we’ve already lost the best chance to prepare.”
Isn’t that the truth.
The heat destroyed a batch of supplies.
The torrential rain destroyed another batch.
Just as we thought we might salvage so after the rain stopped,
it froze over.
And when we were ready with the digging equipnt, there was an earthquake.
It was a real disaster.
But those are all things that happened later.
As for whether the state would look for her because of a few pre-apocalypse warning ssages, Jiang Yan herself didn’t know.
But Ye Qing’s words were a wake-up call for her—she would need to be more low-key and careful in her actions in the future.
Don’t let them really take her for a freak and capture her for dissection or research.
“Ah, it’s true. Now the supplies have either spoiled or been inundated. While other people can still go out and pick things up for free after the apocalypse, we… aside from this endless rain, have nothing left…” Su Dai looked at the torrential rain outside the window, sighed, and got up.
She looked at Jiang Yan and said:
“By the way, Jiang Yan, you were called over so early in the morning, you haven’t had the chance to have breakfast, right? I’ll make so, just wait a bit.”
“There’s no need to trouble yourself, I’m not very hungry, I was about to head back,” Jiang Yan waved her hand hurriedly.
The room was full of the sll of blood, and she actually wanted to go back and check on the progress of Space’s upgrades.
After confirming the Space upgrade progress, she was thinking of going downstairs to take a look.
After all, at the mont, their understanding of the situation downstairs was mostly from the accounts of a few people.
It would be better to see for herself, to grasp a more accurate and real picture.
“It’s no trouble at all. Just pour so hot water into it, haha. Anyway, there’s no need to punch in for work or anything now, so we might as well sit here and keep chatting!” Su Dai spoke as she had already stood up to fetch a few white porcelain bowls from the kitchen.
Then she took out two transparent sealed glass jars, one half-filled with toasted rice and the other half with white sugar.
When it’s difficult to refuse, it’s more polite to comply.
Jiang Yan had no choice but to stop making excuses.
“It’s cold weather, you need to consu more carbohydrates—good thing we still have so white sugar at ho,” said Su Dai as she started dividing the toasted rice and sugar into each small bowl.
After portioning it out, she took out a hot water bottle and poured the pre-boiled water into it.
Sun Jingtao helped her get so porcelain spoons.
Stirring with a spoon until the water reached the right temperature, the heat-treated rice would burst open into a flower-like shape, creating a bowl of toasted, sweet, and aromatic rice porridge.
Such food is not ordinarily common.
But in the current environnt, it’s sothing many people can’t even imagine having.
In fact, many families, in order to reduce the consumption of supplies, now have only two or even one al a day.
“This toasted rice porridge is warming to the stomach. Try it, and if you find the sugar too light, feel free to add so more,” Su Dai offered her a bowl first.
Su Dai used to eat very little sugar.
Partly because she was a fitness instructor, and she controlled her intake of carbohydrates, protein, and fat very strictly.
And also because sugar can make a woman’s skin age, so she not only controlled her sugar intake but also specifically bought anti-glycation pills to consu.
But now, eating and drinking enough to maintain health and energy, to ensure that she can keep living well, is the most important thing.
Those dietary taboos she had followed before are now ineffective.
