Apocalypse: After Being Reborn, I Stocked Up on All Supplies-Chapter 164 - The World is So Vast, All Seas Are Home

Chapter 164: Chapter 164 The World is So Vast, All Seas Are Home

Jiang Yan squinted her eyes, recalling for a few seconds, her heart startled.

“If nothing unexpected happened, they were planning to blow up this building!”

Normally, to destroy a high-rise, you can’t just casually throw explosives at it.

Instead, you have to create blasting holes in the walls and steel frames.

Then, calculate the required amount of explosives based on the building’s mass and place them methodically into the prepared holes.

Only this way could the entire building completely collapse and disintegrate.

However, these were just her own speculations.

“Jiang Yan, what are you thinking about?” Ye Qing asked, seeing her fall silent.

“Nothing,” Jiang Yan shook her head, withdrawing her thoughts.

The matters involved were too complicated, and she didn’t know how to start explaining them.

Better not to say anything at all.

Ten minutes later, the red submachine boat brought Song Qian and Sun Jingtao back.

Seeing that the submachine gun was still on Sun Jingtao’s back, both Jiang Yan and Ye Qing breathed a sigh of relief.

Sun Jingtao got ashore, turned to Song Qian, and said, “Brother Song, please wait a moment,” then quickly walked towards them.

“Brother Tao, what did they say?” Ye Qing stood up and closed the door on the other side of the room.

Sun Jingtao glanced at Song Qian and the warrior steering the submachine boat before sitting down by the large bed in front of the two chairs.

“I met the leader of the Yaoben Base, named Mo Jingsheng, a strong young faction leader. He invited us to join the base,” Sun Jingtao paused after saying this, looking at Jiang Yan and Ye Qing’s expressions before continuing,

“However, I refused.”

“Mo Jingsheng?” Jiang Yan’s heart skipped a beat.

If she remembered correctly, that white-haired elderly man who seemed to be from the official hierarchy was also surnamed Mo.

And that pretty girl known for her marksmanship with fiery red lips was called Mo Shiyao.

Such a coincidence?

“Yes, the others are not from Anming but from Northern Jing City. He’s in his twenties, very young and capable, and seems to be decent and upright.

It is said that they have a sort of cooperative affiliation with the officials, possibly even family ties to high-ranking officials or military.

As for those warriors, they seemed more like mercenaries,” Sun Jingtao said, not aware of her inner thoughts.

From his point of view, given the young age and remarkable military achievements, it was unlikely for him to have so many warriors under his command.

And those boats were clearly private property.

However, in the current environment, many things were hard to say.

Jiang Yan glanced at Song Qian on the other side, her doubts deepening.

But now was not the time to inquire meticulously about their identities and backgrounds; Jiang Yan simply changed the topic, “So, do they know what happened in this building?”

“Yes. They knew about the people being detained and that we rescued them; they also found out about my past as a special forces operator,” Sun Jingtao nodded and continued,

“That is why they said the base currently lacks people with courage and tact, wanting to invite us to join. Although I refused, I still want to hear your thoughts. After all—”

Sun Jingtao trailed off.

Jiang Yan and Ye Qing spoke simultaneously, looking at him, “What?”

“The person next to him said that Anming is on a seismic belt if we stay here all the time, during a big earthquake later on, this city will probably become a disaster zone.”

Ye Qing twisted his brows, “If the surface freezes over during the earthquake, it might be okay, but if it doesn’t, it could lead to secondary disasters like tsunamis.”

“An earthquake??” Jiang Yan’s gaze faltered, “Can they also predict?”

Sun Jingtao smiled upon hearing this, “Of course not, it’s said to be an internal notification from the officials. Apparently, in the next few months, there might be a massive earthquake. It should be predicted by the scientists using some other methods.”

Jiang Yan sucked in a breath, “Their base isn’t in Anming?”

“No, it’s in East Mountain City in the east. They said East Mountain’s geological structures are solid, located at a higher altitude, unlike many places in Anming which have not been submerged by water. If we don’t want to join the base and simply wish to leave Anming to find a safe place, they also offered to carry us there at no cost.”

“East Mountain?” Jiang Yan had some understanding of this city.

It had once been famous for its apples, red wine, and the numerous gold mines in its surroundings.

Thinking of the gold mines, she felt a tad eager.

However, that depended on whether the “Space” could still upgrade after this update.

If it was fully upgraded at once, she wouldn’t need to look for gold anymore.

Ye Qing said, “East Mountain, isn’t that Sister Dai’s hometown?”

Sun Jingtao nodded and continued, “I refused their invitation to join the base, but I am considering taking their ship to East Mountain. After all, traveling with them would be much safer. So, do you both want to come along?”

Jiang Yan glanced at him.

No wonder he had asked Song Qian to wait just now; the latter was also waiting for an answer.

But for a base leader to throw so many olive branches at three ordinary people, with boats and many warriors at his disposal, seemed somewhat unreasonable.

Besides, his surname being Mo.

Jiang Yan always felt something was off about the whole progression but couldn’t put her finger on it.

She guessed Sun Jingtao must have felt it too.

But of two evils, one chooses the lesser.

Before other natural disasters struck in succession, if they could find a new refuge by taking such a large ship out of Anming, it wouldn’t be a bad idea.

As for herself, she actually didn’t like being under someone else’s control.

From Anming to East Mountain, considering the current situation, it would take at least ten days to half a month.

Once onboard, space would be tight, everyone squeezed together, making many things inconvenient.

If they were traveling by car, at least she would have some private time.

With this in mind, Jiang Yan had already made up her mind.

After Sun Jingtao finished speaking, he frowned, “Even if the earthquake doesn’t come, according to the speed of temperature drop, the surface of the water is likely to freeze soon. Once it snows afterwards, it will also be deadly for us.”

Given the current high temperatures and heavy rains, once it snowed, the drop in temperature wouldn’t be as simple as just a degree or two.

Ye Qing remained silent, waiting for Jiang Yan’s answer.

Sun Jingtao looked at Jiang Yan, “Jiang Yan, what have you decided?”

“You go ahead; I still have some matters to handle in Anming, and I might go elsewhere,” Jiang Yan said, narrowing her eyes and pondering for a few seconds.

Sun Jingtao: “…”

Ye Qing: “…”

Both were somewhat surprised by her answer.

Ye Qing glanced at Jiang Yan, his eyes complex.

As a man, he couldn’t just say ‘Why don’t I accompany you?’ Instead, his spoken words became,

“Jiang Yan, where do you plan to go?”

Jiang Yan smiled, casual, “The world is big; everywhere is home.”
