Chapter 156 Ice Age Apocalypse: My Mom Stockpiled Billions in Supplies 23
Although the super cold wave will take 48 hours to reach Taipei, this is not when it begins.
"Look, what's that on the other side of the sea? It's misty and has a faint blue glow."
At this moment on the Japanese coast, a mother and daughter, who were out searching for food, looked curiously at the blue mist in the sea.
"I don't know, it's so strange, everyone look, there's a strange phenomenon in the sea."
An elderly man who had also come out to look for food shouted loudly.
The old man's voice was very penetrating, and soon the people who had come out to look for food were drawn to look towards the sea.
While everyone else wore puzzled expressions, only a young man in his twenties looked terrified.
"What! What is this? No! Run! Another cold wave is coming."
After the young man finished speaking, he ran as fast as he could, but it was too late.
Even though many people followed suit after hearing the young people's words, the speed of the super cold wave still exceeded people's expectations.
"call……"
A gust of wind blew by, and all those people were frozen solid. They were still in the motion of running away, but their hearts had stopped beating.
The super cold wave started in Japan, passed through South Korea, and headed towards Taipei, Taiwan. Wherever it went, dazzling blue ice crystals formed, but while beautiful, it was also deadly.
Japan became the first country to be destroyed after the arrival of the super cold wave.
Meanwhile, Si Yan had already exchanged for everything she could, and after sorting it out, she prepared to leave the space and return to the real world.
During the time Si Yan was exchanging items, Lin Shushan came to see her, but Si Lin sent him away each time.
Lin Tianqi never even showed his face.
Once outside the space, Si Yan quickly headed towards Director Wang's place. As she passed Si Lin and Lin Tianqi, she sternly told them to follow.
"Tianqi, what's going on?"
Wang Lei followed behind Lin Tianqi, panting as he ran, and asked.
"I don't know, but it doesn't feel like a good thing."
Lin Tianqi quickly replied, and then quickened his pace to keep up with Si Yan.
As for Wang Lei behind him, he had even more difficulty running.
When Si Yan arrived, Director Wang was reporting the news to the senior leader via wireless communication. After seeing Si Yan arrive, he consulted with the leader and then suspended the communication.
"Comrade Si, what brings you here?"
Director Wang quickly came out from beside his desk to greet him.
"Director Wang, there is a very urgent situation. A super cold wave is coming, a hundred times more terrifying than the previous one."
Si Yan said urgently, her expression serious.
"What? Comrade Si, is this news true?"
Director Wang's expression changed drastically, and he quickly asked...
Upon hearing this, Si Yan nodded solemnly to Director Wang.
"Oh no, what are we going to do now? We finally had a glimmer of hope, but with this super cold wave, will we even survive?"
Director Wang's eyes were filled with despair. He supported himself on the table with one hand, his arm trembling slightly, and he looked like he was about to lose his balance.
"Director Wang, don't worry, I came to you because I had a solution."
Seeing Director Wang's expression, Si Yan quickly spoke up.
"Comrade Si, don't try to comfort me. I know you have a spaceship, but how many people can a spaceship carry? How many people are there in the entire Beishi base? Unless something can stop this cold wave, we have no chance of surviving."
Director Wang said weakly, then lowered his head and said softly again, as if he was thinking about something.
"Human power is too insignificant. The cold wave disaster may just be a small act of capriciousness by nature, but it is already a burden that we cannot bear."
After speaking, Director Wang sat down. He was preparing to write a notice so that everyone could be with their loved ones in their final moments.
Thinking of this, Director Wang smiled self-deprecatingly. He had to make sure everyone left without regrets.
"Director Wang, who said I don't have anything that can keep the cold wave out? I not only have a lot, but I also wanted to discuss with you which routes to take to rescue people all over China."
Si Yan said solemnly.
"Is there really such a thing? Comrade Si, you are truly our lucky star!"
Director Wang stood up abruptly and took two steps forward to tightly grasp Si Yan's hands.
"Director Wang, time waits for no one. This super cold wave started in Japan, passed through South Korea, and then appeared in China. How should we plan our rescue route? An hour has already passed, and the super cold wave is expected to arrive in 47 hours."
Upon hearing what Si Yan said, Director Wang hurriedly took out a national map.
"In that case, let's start here..."
Director Wang and Si Yan discussed for about half an hour, and then Si Yan and Lin Tianqi each led a team to distribute protective shields to different regions across the country.
For this reason, Si Yan also brought out a new spaceship. This spaceship was pink all over and shone brightly in the sunlight, making it very beautiful.
"Aunt Si, can I ask to travel with you?"
Looking at the pink spaceship in front of her, Xiaoling's eyes turned into stars.
"Okay, you can come with me."
Si Yan said with a light smile, but considering the large scope of this trip, she couldn't help but worry about Lin Tianqi leading a team alone.
"Tianqi, be careful on your journey. And if you encounter any unforeseen circumstances, remember to turn on your protective bracelet."
Si Yan raised her hand in greeting, and Lin Tianqi nodded repeatedly.
"Comrade Si, don't worry. I will accompany Comrade Lin this time. If anything goes wrong, I will immediately remind them to prevent any dangerous situations from occurring."
Seeing Si Yan's worried expression, Director Wang stepped forward and said solemnly.
"Director Wang, Tianqi and his group are young and impulsive, so please keep an eye on them."
After Si Yan finished speaking, she took Xiao Ling and her older brother Si Lin and boarded the pink spaceship.
Lin Tianqi also led Wang Lei, Li Sheng, Director Wang, and others onto the silver spaceship.
Lin Tianqi was unaware that during this mission, he would meet the person who would capture his heart.
"Tianqi, are you sure you can pilot the spaceship?"
As soon as Wang Lei boarded the spaceship, he pulled Lin Tianqi aside and whispered something to him.
"Don't worry, I just need to set the destination each time, I don't need to do anything manually."
Lin Tianqi said helplessly.
"That's true. With Aunt Si not here, I got so nervous that I forgot the spaceship is intelligent."
Wang Lei smiled in annoyance and sat down in the car seat next to him.
Director Wang and several of his subordinates also followed suit and sat in the child safety seats.
"Our first destination is Hohhot. Everyone, fasten your safety harnesses. We are about to begin our time-space jump."
Lin Tianqi clicked to confirm on the spaceship's display screen while reminding the people around him.
After the destination was set, Lin Tianqi looked at Director Wang.
"Uncle Wang, are you ready? This is your first time riding this, so you may not know. Time travel can cause temporary dizziness, but you'll feel better once you get there."
However, without experiencing it firsthand, one cannot truly understand something based solely on others' descriptions, so Director Wang and the others did not show the slightest sign of tension.
On the contrary, Wang Lei and Li Sheng had already closed their eyes tightly.
Director Wang watched, wondering just how fast it was.
However, before he could think for long, Lin Tianqi started the spaceship after fastening his safety straps.
Before he could even process what was happening, the spaceship had already arrived at its destination.
To put it simply, he arrived in Taipei, but his soul remained there.
"Uncle Wang, Uncle Wang?"
Seeing Director Wang's bewildered expression, Lin Tianqi waved his hand in front of his eyes.
Have we arrived yet?
It took Director Wang a while to recover his senses after sitting in his seat for a while.
The spaceship docked at the survivor base in the new urban area of Hohhot. The survivors in Hohhot were wary when they saw the spaceship suddenly appear. After all, even monsters had appeared since the cold wave, so it wouldn't be surprising if an alien appeared.
"Go and notify Captain Zhang to come over and assess how to respond."
The middle-aged man standing nearby quickly made the arrangements.
The people in the base also hid. The previous monster attacks had made them used to hiding when they encountered unknown dangers.
"Hey, Brother Wang, do you know the prophecy before the cold wave? It's that prophecy of the savior."
"I remember, but I think it's a bit far-fetched. What kind of savior could have an endless supply of food?"
Brother Wang shook his head, saying it was probably just a lucky guess that the cold wave disaster happened to be predicted.
"Let's leave that aside for now, but doesn't the silver spaceship mentioned in the language look like the one in front of us?"
"You know what, I didn't think of anything before, but now that I see it, it's very similar to the description in the language."
Brother Wang spoke with excitement, and the others were also intrigued, craning their necks to look. At this moment, the unease they felt vanished.
As the spaceship door slowly opened, the survivors in the new city eagerly stared, wondering what their savior would look like.
"They're down, they're down."
As Lin Tianqi and the others emerged, gasps of surprise echoed through the survivor base.
Zhang Hai, who had just run up from behind, was stunned when he saw these people.
"Isn't that Director Wang? I met him when I went to Taipei."
"Director Wang! Director Wang!"
Once he came to his senses, Zhang Hai shouted excitedly.
As soon as he got off the spaceship, he heard someone call his name, and Director Wang looked over curiously.
"Xiao Zhang, it's you. Don't you remember working in Lanzhou? What are you doing in Hohhot?"
After seeing who it was, Director Wang suddenly realized that it was Zhang Hai, whom he had met once before.
"Director Wang, you've come all this way from afar, has the leadership of Taipei City given you any instructions?"
Zhang Hai said cautiously.
Hearing Zhang Hai's question, Director Wang's expression turned serious.
"Xiao Zhang, to be honest, the reason we're here is because another super cold wave is coming soon..."
"What? Again?"
Before Director Wang could finish speaking, Zhang Hai exclaimed in surprise upon hearing the words "super cold wave."
"Don't worry, we have a solution."
Seeing Zhang Hai's nervous appearance, Director Wang quickly comforted him.
"What method? Can this cold wave be resisted by human effort?"
Zhang Hai was filled with anxiety; he had completely forgotten that the spaceship parked in front of him was no ordinary object.
Zhang Hai's subordinates, peering over the outer wall, could only hear his exclamation but couldn't make out what he was saying.
"Hey, Brother Wang, do you think we should go out and help Captain Zhang?"
"That's right, Brother Wang, Captain Zhang's expression doesn't look good."
The young men standing nearby chimed in agreement.
"Alright, stop worrying. Captain Zhang hasn't given any instructions yet, so I think it should be fine. Let's wait and see."
The man, whom everyone called Brother Wang, said softly.
Suddenly, Zhang Hai, who was in the distance, turned around and waved to them.
The group of people who received the notification looked at each other in bewilderment, and then they all rushed over in a swarm.
"Team Leader Zhang, what are your instructions?"
Brother Wang asked first.
"It's nothing, I just wanted to introduce you. This is my former boss, Director Wang. They've come to our base to help us. You can show them around the base. I have some things to take care of, I'll come find you when I'm done."
After saying goodbye to Director Wang and the others, Zhang Hai turned and walked away quickly.
"This way, sir."
Brother Wang said with a slight smile.
Lin Tianqi and his two companions followed at the very back.
"Tianqi, this Hohhot base seems to be doing quite well. Everyone looks good, so there shouldn't be a shortage of food. So, we won't need the space bag that Auntie prepared?"
Wang Lei pulled Lin Tianqi aside and whispered something.
"They still think they have too much grain? We'll see how it goes later. I think their leader, Captain Zhang, is a decent guy, and he knows Director Wang. Sending them some grain wouldn't be a bad idea."
Li Sheng said softly.
"Tch, Li Sheng, you don't know the value of firewood and rice until you're in charge of the household. This grain must have been obtained by Aunt Si through all sorts of means. It should be used for those who really need it."
Wang Lei muttered resentfully.
"Alright, my mom told me before she left to act according to the situation, and the space bags were given according to the number of cities we're going to this time."
Lin Tianqi responded softly.
"In that case, we'll play it by ear when the time comes."
Wang Lei leaned over and whispered between Lin Tianqi and Li Sheng.
"What are you three young people whispering about in the back?"
Director Wang, who was walking in front, noticed that Lin Tianqi and the other two had not yet come up. He turned around in confusion and saw the group whispering to each other behind him, though he couldn't tell what they were saying.
"It's nothing, we're just discussing where to install the protective shield later."
Lin Tianqi replied loudly.
"Come on, let's go check out the front first. They just said the Hohhot survivor base isn't very big. Let's check out the front and start setting up. Time is of the essence."
Upon hearing Minister Wang's words, Lin Tianqi and the other two hurriedly ran forward and followed Minister Wang to observe the situation together.
Meanwhile, Si Yan encountered some trouble in Wei City.
“We are living well. Look at the sea, it stretches as far as the eye can see, there is not a trace of the cold wave.”
Wei City's head, Zheng Chuan, looked at Si Yan with displeasure. This woman in front of him had somehow acquired a fake spaceship to swindle people, and she spoke of it with such conviction.
“It’s an emergency. We’re here to help you out of kindness, and you’re not even grateful.”
Xiaoling couldn't stand it and spoke up in rebuttal.
The Wei city official was about to say something when he was interrupted by exclamations from those around him.
"Look, what's that blue mist in the distance?"
