Chapter 54 Warning Letter
In the past two days, apart from occasionally going to the villa next door to check on Meng Wanqing's recovery, Yu Miaomiao and Lu An have resumed their lazy and peaceful lives.
The three boys can now go to the training ground and come back on their own every day.
Yu Miaomiao, wearing sunglasses and a baseball cap, secretly followed them.
Although Tuanzi and Yuanzi are often distracted by strange things on the road, Majiang always manages to bring them back on track in time, so overall, they are quite reassuring.
Sesame Sauce's inner monologue: It's all thanks to me turning the tide! Those two weren't even planning to go to class! I have so many things to worry about every day. (Exhausted.jpg)
With the next natural disaster fast approaching, the base's underground city has recently seen some major developments.
It seems that the authorities and the military have received inside information and have begun preparing for the super earthquake well in advance. He Liang has also come several times and told them directly that another natural disaster is about to occur.
Although the patrol team has an explicit rule against disseminating information, it's an unspoken understanding among everyone to inform relatives and friends in advance.
Upon hearing the news, Yu Miaomiao fell silent. She didn't know where the information from the official and military sources came from. If it came from the letter she wrote before the apocalypse, that would be fine. But if it came from someone else, then perhaps she wasn't the only one who had been reborn, or perhaps there was a bigger conspiracy behind it all.
Thinking back to before the apocalypse, Ji Feng and his family also received advance notice, and Yu Miaomiao felt that things were not so simple.
The base suspended the operation of most elevators a day ago, leaving only the connecting elevator in the central plaza operational.
To prevent a sudden disaster, such as a power outage or signal interruption, from trapping a large number of survivors in the elevator.
Emergency refuge areas are set up on each level of the underground city.
Inside the base's underground city command center.
"In the event of a super earthquake, even if the underground city has been tested and found to be of high quality and will not collapse, there is still a risk that the entrances and exits will be blocked. Do we really want everyone to take refuge inside the underground city? Moreover, who can be sure that the warning message is genuine?"
"This is the safest way. Not to mention that there are many survivors in the underground city. If they are all moved to the surface, there will be no large area for them to rest and keep warm. The survivors will soon die from hypothermia."
Being underground at least guarantees safety for a short period. As for the entrances and exits being blocked, our most important task right now is to ensure proper ventilation in the underground city. As long as ventilation is maintained, the current food and water supplies in the underground city can sustain the basic survival of the inhabitants for about half a month, thus ensuring their safety from the super earthquake.
Moreover, whether this so-called super earthquake will actually occur is still unknown.
The head of the underground city's military base and several key officers sat in the command center discussing countermeasures. A month ago, they received a special letter from the Ningcheng government.
That is, Yu Miaomiao's announcement letter. The staff who read the letter at the time just thought that the sender had a very creative mind and a rich imagination, so they took a picture of the letter with their mobile phone and saved it. Now the original is long gone.
The staff member who had worked there initially realized after the apocalypse that the letter might indeed be a warning from heaven, so he voluntarily handed over his phone and provided a photo of the letter.
However, prior to this letter, they had received many similar warning letters from unknown sources, which would suddenly appear on the desk of the chief's secretary one day.
They checked all the surveillance footage from confidential passages and the leader's office, but found nothing suspicious.
That's what makes it even more suspicious.
Everyone was at a loss, but the successive warnings forced the base's leadership to take the matter seriously and begin preparing for the super earthquake mentioned in the warnings.
If the super earthquake does indeed occur, it might prove that these warning messages were true.
That would mean that the series of natural disasters mentioned in the letter would all come true, and the world would be close to destruction.
These days, Yu Miaomiao would take some time each day to go to the mercenary squad mission hall to see if there were any missions suitable for the "laid-off" squad. She didn't ask for high returns from the Asian crystals, just simple and easy missions to complete.
Before the earthquake, their team would never leave the base's underground city. They didn't want to be caught off guard by the earthquake and unable to return or escape. Yu Miaomiao's strategy for escaping the apocalypse was to avoid wandering around aimlessly.
If you're going to lie down, lie down properly; if you're going to survive, survive to the very end.
After diligently visiting the mission hall for several days in a row, she actually found a mission that she could easily handle.
[Collecting Mutant Herbs]
Requirements: Each plant must be brought back with its roots intact. We urgently need mutated chicken-claw coptis and mutated ginseng. The more the better. Rewards will be given based on the number of plants submitted to the base for recycling.
Task Reward: Each plant with a complete root system can be exchanged for 100 Sub-Crystals, which can be recycled indefinitely with no upper limit.
Wow, isn't this a task tailor-made for her?
Yu Miaomiao looked around. None of the passing teams were interested in this mission. Firstly, there weren't many survivors who recognized herbs and plants. Even though the base had provided relevant pictures in the mission log, they still had difficulty distinguishing which ones were the mutated herbs the base needed. Secondly, in the extreme cold, grass and trees were very rare. Even if there was vegetation, it might have already been occupied by some aggressive mutated plants. Now, almost no one was willing to risk going there.
This is why, despite being a highly rewarding task, no one seems to be interested in it.
Just as Yu Miaomiao was about to connect the task to her bracelet, a pale hand slapped onto the task panel.
"Our team will take this mission."
After a few days apart, the man named Li Yi's face was almost completely drained of color. Under the dim lights of the underground city, his face looked as pale as paper.
His illness was blatant.
