Doomsday Space, I Live Forever Under Natural Disaster
Chapter 13 The End Begins
During this period of time, Jiang Yuyao has been refining the crystal source body with Mu Youling every day. Now, both of them are second-level psychics.
At 4 a.m., they opened their eyes together and smiled at each other.
"Sister Yuyao, the supernatural powers in my body have become more stable. I believe it won't take long to advance again." Mu Youling did not stand up, but faced the floor-to-ceiling window, hugged his knees and looked at the sky outside.
"You Ling is very powerful." Jiang Yuyao praised. The cultivation of supernatural powers is not just about absorbing the energy of the crystal source body.
Each promotion is a test of the body and will. If the mental strength and willpower cannot meet the energy requirements, even if there are more crystal sources, it will be of no use.
Therefore, Jiang Yuyao was always by Mu Youling's side every time he refined the energy, and he was not afraid of making any mistakes.
Sitting next to Mu Youling, with one leg on the ground and the other leg raised up, his hands on his knees, he also raised his head to look at the cloudless starry sky outside.
The stars outside were very bright. Jiang Yuyao felt bitter inside and thought to herself: "You Ling, in this life I finally get to see the stars with you."
The air suddenly became silent, and after a while, Mu Youling's muffled voice could be heard, "Sister Yuyao, after dawn, the end of the world will come, right?"
She seemed to be asking Jiang Yuyao, but also seemed to be asking herself.
Jiang Yuyao turned her head to look at Mu Youling. She looked up at the starry sky, her eyes full of sorrow. Jiang Yuyao raised her hand to brush across Mu Youling's brows, her lips slightly raised, "Yes, the end of the world has begun."
Mu Youling was startled by her action. He looked at Jiang Yuyao with confused eyes and murmured softly, "The end of the world has begun."
Jiang Yuyao knew that there was not only confusion in Mu Youling's eyes, but also fear of the unknown future. Holding her hand with one hand, Jiang Yuyao said firmly, "I will always be here."
'I will always be here.' Jiang Yuyao's words kept echoing in Mu Youling's mind. Feeling the warmth coming from his hands, Mu Youling didn't know why, but something started to change in his heart.
The two of them just leaned against each other, looking at the starry sky outside, and said nothing more.
Until the skyline began to turn white, the sun rose as usual, but the difference was that the sunlight was very dim and the sky was not as bright as before.
The wind started to blow outside. The big trees outside the shelter were bent by the wind, and small white particles began to float in the sky.
Mu Youling stood up in amazement, walked to the French window, put his hands on it, and said in surprise: "Sister Yuyao, it's snowing!"
Although I knew the extreme cold was coming, seeing it with my own eyes was a completely different experience.
Jiang Yuyao also stood up and looked outside with a cold expression. The snow was still light now, but it would not be long before the snow would get heavier and heavier, and the temperature would get lower and lower. The snow would continue for three months.
By then, all places with water will be frozen, and people can only melt the snow to have water to drink.
The two went downstairs. Jiang Xunhai was sitting on the sofa watching the news on his tablet, while Xi Yuanai and Pan Yu were chatting and preparing the ingredients.
The children were playing in the yard of the villa. They were all looking curiously at the large glass above their heads, on which a layer of snow had accumulated.
Seeing them coming down, Jiang Xunhai put the tablet on the table and said, "Come and take a look at what is being said online about this snow."
As soon as Mu Youling came down, he went to help Pan Yu and Xi Yuanai with their work. Jiang Yuyao walked to the table and took the tablet. There were more than a dozen headlines in it, all about the snow in this summer.
I looked through a few of them, and even the National Weather Service didn't find anything unusual.
While browsing, he said, "Dad, let's go pick up grandpa before the road freezes over. In two days, the temperature outside will reach minus ten degrees Celsius."
"Ah, the temperature drops so quickly!" Jiang Xunhai was surprised. This is not just cooling down, it's simply quick freezing.
"Yeah." Jiang Yuyao said seriously, "Not only that, it will only get lower and lower over time."
After thinking for a while, he said, "There is no time to lose. Father, let's go and fetch Grandpa back now."
Jiang Xunhai thought the same thing, he stood up and put on his coat, "Let's go!"
The three people on the other side saw that they all stood up, and Xi Yuanai asked: "Where are you and your daughter going?"
"Mother, father and I are going to pick up grandpa. The weather outside will only get worse, so it will be safer if we bring him back earlier." Jiang Yuyao explained to Xi Yuanai.
As he walked to Mu Youling, he said softly, "Wait at home, I'll be back soon."
Mu Youling nodded, "You and uncle, be careful."
"Don't worry, Ling girl, nothing serious will happen." Jiang Xunhai also said to Mu Youling. He was very satisfied with this "daughter-in-law".
Mu Youling watched the two of them walk through three doors and leave with a worried look on his face. Seeing this, Xi Yuanai looked at Pan Yu beside her and said, "Lingling, don't worry, nothing will happen."
"I know, Auntie." Mu Youling responded with a smile. She knew nothing would happen.
However, this was the first time in some time that Jiang Yuyao had gone out without me, and I actually felt a little uncomfortable.
Jiang Yuyao's grandfather is named Xi Hongzhi, one of the senior officials of the Chinese General Government, and is currently attending a meeting in the Ministry of Government Affairs.
Jiang Yuyao drove the car directly to the government gate. Jiang Xunhai, who was sitting in the passenger seat, thought for a moment and said slowly, "Yaoyao, come with me, or your grandpa won't go with me."
Hearing this, Jiang Yuyao drove straight in and asked, "Father, have you made grandpa unhappy again?" Seeing Jiang Xunhai's look, Jiang Yuyao understood that her father was most afraid of grandpa.
"What are you talking about?" Jiang Xunhai coughed lightly, then turned serious, "Is your father that kind of person?"
After a while, he said listlessly, "I just sold the Jiang Group and your grandfather found out about it. He called me for three consecutive days to complain about it."
If I come to pick him up this time, I might get scolded again.
Jiang Yuyao looked as if she knew it, and suppressed her smile, "Father, no matter what grandpa says at that moment, you must comfort him well. The most important thing for us is to successfully trick grandpa back."
"I don't know yet!" Jiang Xunhai didn't want to see his daughter gloating over other's misfortune, so he turned his head to the other side.
At this moment, I am on the third floor of the Government Building.
A man in a suit with neat hair walked in front, with an assistant beside him explaining something to him from time to time. Five or six middle-aged men and women followed behind him.
They all hurried to the meeting room.
Suddenly, a young man caught up with him from behind, "Master Xi, Master Xi!"
After hearing this, the person in front stopped and looked at the young man.
Seeing that he had finally caught up with the person, he said breathlessly, "Mr. Xi, there are two people coming over there. They say they are your son-in-law and granddaughter."
The man called Mr. Xi was Jiang Yuyao's grandfather, Xi Hongzhi. He frowned and muttered, "What are they doing here?" He said to the young man, "Take them to my office and wait until I finish the meeting."
After saying that, he turned around and prepared to leave.
The young man stopped him again, "Mr. Xi, your granddaughter said she has something urgent to ask you, you should go and see her."
Xi Hongzhi sighed, his face grim, and said to the people beside him: "You go first, I will come later."
Several people agreed and left first.
From a distance, Xi Hongzhi saw his son-in-law Jiang Xunhai standing at the end of the corridor with a sad face. As the saying goes, the more a father-in-law looks at his son-in-law, the more upset he becomes. This is not just talk.
Before he could speak, Xi Hongzhi heard a clear voice calling, "Grandpa!"
Following the sound, I saw a girl with disheveled hair, wearing a turtleneck sweater, dark jeans, and a woolen coat. She was taller than Jiang Xunhai who was standing next to her.
He squinted his eyes and looked her over before hesitatingly speaking, "You are, Yaoyao?"
It's no wonder Xi Hongzhi hesitated. He hadn't seen Jiang Yuyao for more than half a year. In addition, Jiang Yuyao had become taller after the transformation with the green liquid, and her appearance and temperament were more aggressive than before.
Jiang Yuyao walked up and hugged Xi Hongzhi, saying with joy, "Yes, Grandpa, you can't recognize me now."
Xi Hongzhi, who got the confirmation, also smiled at this moment, "Wow, how come you have grown so tall?"
Only then did he take a closer look at Jiang Yuyao.
In his generation, the Xi family had only one daughter, Xi Yuanai. Now Jiang Yuyao is also an only child, and both families have raised her with great care.
"No matter when you returned to Beijing, you didn't contact grandpa." Xi Hongzhi pretended to be angry.
"Hey, Grandpa." Jiang Yuyao rarely acted like a spoiled child. "I've been busy all the time, so I just came to see you."
Before anything else, you have to appease the person first.
"No one comes to see you for no reason. Tell me, why did you suddenly come to see grandpa?" Xi Hongzhi glanced at Jiang Xunhai, who had a very low sense of presence at the side, and asked Jiang Yuyao lovingly.
"Uh." Jiang Yuyao hesitated and didn't know how to start. She turned to look at Jiang Xunhai for help.
Seeing that he couldn't avoid it, Jiang Xunhai laughed and walked forward, "Dad, look at what you said, your granddaughter missed you and came to see you."
Seeing Xi Hongzhi looking at him, Jiang Xunhai continued honestly: "Didn't I tell you some time ago that there would be extreme weather? You didn't believe it. Now you believe it, right?"
Hearing this, Xi Hongzhi frowned and walked to the window in the corridor. The snow was falling even heavier outside. In just one morning, a thick layer of snow had accumulated on the green belt.
It was still 36 degrees Celsius yesterday, but it started snowing today. The abnormal weather made Xi Hongzhi feel uneasy.
After a long while, he spoke, "How did you know that?" Even the National Meteorological Bureau hadn't noticed anything, so how did Jiang Xunhai know about the weather changes?
"This..." Jiang Xunhai was suddenly speechless and turned his gaze to Jiang Yuyao.
"Grandpa, I was the one who told father." Jiang Yuyao walked to Xi Hongzhi. She was half a head taller than Xi Hongzhi and put away the look of a little girl just now.
Xi Hongzhi actually saw a hint of dignity in her, the dignity of someone who had gone through hardships and regained light from the bottom of society. His eyes suddenly became serious, "Yaoyao, since you said you told your father, then how did you know?"
"Grandpa, not only do I know the weather changes, I can also tell you clearly that starting from today, the temperature will drop by 10 degrees every day until the temperature stops dropping in 5 days.
But it won’t get warmer. After ten years, the temperature will start to drop again, and this kind of weather will continue for up to thirty years.”
Jiang Yuyao calmly stated the facts.
After hearing these words, although Xi Hongzhi looked calm on the outside, his shrunken pupils betrayed his shock at the moment.
He asked tremblingly, "Thirty, thirty years!"
If it is true as Jiang Yuyao said, that the temperature drops by 10 degrees every day, it will be more than 5 degrees below zero after 50 days!
"Yaoyao, do you know what you are talking about!" Suppressing his inner shock, Xi Hongzhi asked again.
Jiang Yuyao has never told a lie since she was a child. He didn't know what had happened to her in the past six months since he hadn't seen her.
But in Xi Hongzhi's mind, the credibility of Jiang Yuyao's words was more than 90%.
"Grandpa, everything I said is true!" The firm tone and eyes broke Xi Hongzhi's last bit of persistence. The heavy snow outside was already good evidence.
No longer worrying about how Jiang Yuyao knew these exact values, Xi Hongzhi now placed his fists on the windowsill with a grim look on his face, and watched the temperature drop.
The entire city will be frozen within a week. He can only blame himself for not listening to Jiang Xunhai and letting the country prepare for it as soon as possible.
His expression condensed and he said seriously: "Xunhai, take Yaoyao home, I want to stay." After that, he turned around resolutely to go back. At this moment, he had only one thought in his mind, to stand at the last line of defense of the country!
After taking a few steps, Xi Hongzhi felt a pain in his neck, closed his eyes and fell backwards. Seeing this, Jiang Xunhai hurriedly stepped forward to catch him, saying in a panic, "Yaoyao, what are you doing?"
He didn't even notice how Jiang Yuyao made her move.
Jiang Yuyao said calmly: "Father, if it weren't for this, grandpa wouldn't have left with us."
Half of the people in this building are hypocritical villains. In the previous life, my grandfather died because of them, and his body was thrown outside and frozen into an ice sculpture.
When Jiang Yuyao arrived, the body had already been sealed under a layer of ice several dozen meters thick.
Jiang Xunhai thought about it and felt that what Yaoyao said made sense. He bent down and carried Xi Hongzhi on his back, "Let's go."
Jiang Yuyao followed behind. Seeing this, the young man standing in the distance ran over hurriedly and said in an anxious tone, "What, what happened to Mr. Xi?"
Jiang Xunhai didn't care about him and just walked downstairs with his back to him.
Jiang Yuyao stopped the young man and said, "Go back and tell them that grandpa has been taken away by us."
After a pause, he continued, "By the way, the weather won't get better. The temperature will only continue to drop. It will be like this for many years to come." He left without looking back.
The young man was left standing there in a daze. It took him a long time to digest the meaning of Jiang Yuyao's words. After he came to his senses, he ran towards the meeting room even more anxiously.
The two of them took Xi Hongzhi and rushed directly home.
Seeing Jiang Xunhai carrying Xi Hongzhi into the hall, Xi Yuanai hurried to his side, "Oh, what's going on! What happened to Dad?" she asked Jiang Xunhai anxiously.
Jiang Xunhai put Xi Hongzhi on the sofa and said, "Don't worry, Dad just fell asleep. Otherwise he wouldn't come back with us."
He didn't dare to say that it was Yaoyao who knocked the man unconscious.
Xi Yuanai knew Xi Hongzhi's temper, so she stopped talking and just took a blanket to cover him. It was minus 10 degrees Celsius outside and the air-conditioning temperature in the villa was around 25 degrees, so it wasn't cold.
