Chapter 62 Speed ​​of Life and Death

At 10 pm, in an apartment on the 18th floor of a certain building.

Youqi, who had already taken a shower and changed into clean and soft home clothes, walked out of the room while ending the call.

The call was from Youqi's boyfriend, the ex-boyfriend, who called to make peace, saying that he would not sue Youqi for her behavior, but at the same time he hoped that this incident would not affect his work in the company.

The other party was a colleague of Youqi, but he was two years younger than her, and his work ability was not as good as hers. He was her subordinate.

Because they were both from Beijing, and because the other party had always shown the appearance of a warm man, and usually cared about Youqi, he finally moved her half a year ago.

As a result, the mistress came to pester the scumbag today, and the two were caught by Youqi. The mistress also provoked a few words. Youqi raised her hand to hit him, but the scumbag actually pushed Youqi into the sea to protect the mistress.

Although he kept saying that he didn't mean it afterwards, this kind of behavior is still disgusting even if it is unintentional.

Youqi didn't have much to say to him, and directly told him to pack up his things and get out with his mistress tomorrow. As for suing her sister? Haha, he can try it, and then we will see who will sue whom!

"You are too impulsive today! Why don't you think about the consequences?" Although Youqi was blaming her, she was actually worried about her.

You Xi wanted to snort coldly and turn around to show her former rebellious bad girl look, but when she saw that the other person's face looked like Ms. Fan Qi, she subconsciously didn't dare to do so.

"I know you did it for me, but you are already 18 years old now, why do you still fight whenever you want like before?" You Qi said, and then changed the tone again, "Even if you really want to teach him a lesson, remember to do it behind people's back next time!"

"Oh."

You Qi glanced at Tang Yatong who was taking food from the refrigerator and preparing a simple dinner, and said: "I heard from Yatong that you told her today that I asked you to come back? You also told the staff of the filming crew that it was Yatong's idea to notify the cancellation of the filming and let everyone go home?"

Although You Qi doted on her, she would definitely not reveal such a thing directly, "I've said many times that if you don't want to shoot or work, you can tell me, why do you have to lie?"

You Xi looked at the other party: "Sister, I don't want to stay in Country M anymore, I want to go back to my country and leave early tomorrow morning."

"..." You Qi was upset and had a headache, "What's wrong with you, Xiaoxi? I ​​know you were very unhappy when I left you to study in Country M, but I have tried my best to make up for it..."

You Qi had a headache, and You Xi also had a headache.

The target of this mission is knowledgeable and independent-minded, while she, a worldly figure, is uneducated and has been rebellious in the past. In this case, how can she convince the other party to put down everything, pack up and buy a ticket back home early tomorrow morning?

"Sister, XX is coming soon! XXX is coming soon! XXX is coming! OOXX is coming!" You Xi opened her mouth and said a string of blocked words, which were: meteorites, explosions, tsunamis, and volcanic eruptions.

She thought that by not mentioning the main disaster directly, she could play a marginal ball, but all of them were blocked.

You Qi looked at her silently, her eyes getting worse.

You Xi had no choice but to use her last trick.

She endured the embarrassment and said, "Sister, actually I was reborn. Do you understand what rebirth means? It means that I was dead, but I returned to the time when I was alive in the blink of an eye. It was only after I died once that I realized how willful I was before. There are still two days - no, less than two days, you, me and Sister Yatong will die. We must leave Country M immediately and take a flight back to China early tomorrow morning to survive!"

You Qi:...

Tang Yatong:...

You Xi:...?

**

"You Xi! Are you taking drugs!?" You Qi was furious. She took the car key and wanted to drag her to the hospital for a urine test.

You Xi grabbed You Qi with her backhand and dragged her directly into the room.

Youqi wanted to get rid of her sister, but she found that she was incredibly strong. She was dragged into the room: "What are you doing?"

Youxi locked the door and lowered her voice: "Sister, I have something to show you, which can prove that I am telling the truth." She took a display from the shelf and said, "Sister, take a good look at it." Then, she put the thing into the Xingwu warehouse.

Youqi: ... ! !

"Sister, look again." The decoration appeared out of thin air in the palm of her hand again, "And there's more--"

She pointed to the floor, and suddenly a dozen buckets of water appeared on the empty floor, "This is called space, I don't know if you have read similar novels, anyway, after I was reborn, I found that I had an extra space with me, and I could put things in and take things out at any time."

Youqi walked over and touched it with trembling hands. It was real, not an illusion.

"So I didn't lie to you, and I didn't take drugs. Everything I said is true. You have to do what I say, otherwise we will all die."

A few seconds later, You Xi: "Sister! Don't get dizzy--"

You Qi woke up under the overbearing smell of Fengyoujing. She grabbed You Xi and said, "How many people know about this? It's... your space."

"I told you."

"Okay, remember, you can't tell anyone except me!"

"Where's Sister Yatong?"

"Let's talk about it later." You Qi sorted out her messy brain and finally got to the point, "So, everything you said is true. If we don't leave Country M within two days, we will all die."

"That's roughly it."

"Okay, I'll call now and book a flight for tomorrow morning."

You Xi:...?

Is that it?

You Qi searched through her pockets and remembered that her cell phone fell on the sofa outside. She pulled You Xi out of the room.

In the living room, the aroma of fried rice was wafting. Tang Yatong moved quickly and had already fried the rice while the two were taking urine tests and fainting. At this moment, she was sitting on a small plate, watching TV and eating.

When she saw the two people coming out, she pointed to the dining table: "Fried rice, lettuce salad, just eat something."

"Thank you." Youqi picked up the phone and sat next to her friend, "Well... I'll book a flight for tomorrow morning, you can come back with us."

Tang Yatong:...? ?

Youxi was not in the mood to eat for the time being. She remembered that "she" liked to store cash in the room. In addition to piles of cash in the safe, there were also a lot of valuable jewelry. Since she was going back to China, she had to take everything with her.

She walked through the living room to her room, but when she passed the sofa, she was attracted by a notice on the TV.

It was an official announcement from Country M, stating that the most spectacular meteor shower in recent years - the 20332HKF constellation meteor shower will appear tomorrow night, and the entire central and southern parts of Country M are the best observation points. It

is expected that the meteor shower will arrive around 9 p.m. tomorrow night, and there are less than 23 hours left. I hope astronomy enthusiasts will not miss it...

After that, a space photo appeared on the TV screen. It was not a very clear photo, and it was incomparable to the clear space photos taken by satellites 20 years later.

You can only vaguely see the meteoroids in the picture.

You Xi looked at the announcement, and the hair on his back stood on end.

She confirmed the time again. The meteor shower will indeed start at around 9 p.m. tomorrow night. It is now 10:30 p.m., less than 23 hours from now.

Her intuition tells her that this is not a meteor shower at all. It should be a meteor shower!

There is no difference between meteors and meteorites in essence, except that the former is smaller than sand and gravel, while the latter is as big as a pebble. The former will be destroyed due to high temperatures when passing through the atmosphere and will not fall on the surface of the planet. The latter

will burn in the atmosphere, with the acceleration of gravity and high temperatures, and will be like a high-temperature artillery shell when it hits the surface of the planet.

Even a small pebble can easily destroy a car, and a larger one can directly raze a city to the ground.

If this so-called "meteor shower" is the beginning of the apocalyptic catastrophe, then from now until 21:00 tomorrow night, they only have less than 23 hours left. Even if the time to return to noon is added, it will only be 35 hours. Why is this so?

Didn't she enter the apocalyptic world 48 hours before the disaster?

Youxi frowned. What information did she miss?

Could it be that the meteor shower tomorrow night is not a meteorite shower of the apocalyptic catastrophe? Or is it because the planet is too big and the region is different, so -

suddenly, she thought of something and immediately asked Youqi: "Sister! What is the time difference between M country and our own country?"

"Why are you asking this suddenly..." Youqi was still immersed in the fact that her sister had come back to life and had space. After hesitating for a moment, she answered, "Thirteen hours, what's wrong?"

Thirteen hours! ?

Thirty-five plus thirteen hours - exactly forty-eight hours!

Therefore, the time given for the world mission refers to the time of their own country, not the time of Country M!

In other words, she did not have forty-eight hours from the beginning to the end. She only had thirty-five hours from the beginning because she was in Country M!

You Xi couldn't help it: System, is what I just analyzed correct?

[Yes, host, forty-eight hours refers to the time of Beijing Country, and you are in Country M. ]

You Xi:...

No wonder, she was given so much preparation time, and it was not a doomsday as fierce and unpredictable as the zombies, but the world difficulty rating was still medium-low.

It turns out that the pits are buried here!

You Xi closed his eyes. If there were only less than twenty-three hours left, it would be too late to return to the country before the first meteorite rain came.

It takes more than ten hours to fly back to China from here - that's if they take a direct flight. If they have to transfer, it will take even longer.

Even if they can buy the earliest flight and return to China safely without delay, returning to China on time will only make it more difficult for them to survive.

What's more, she doesn't know the exact calculation of the time difference. Will she have forty-eight hours when she returns to China? Or will the meteorite hit Country M and her own country at the same time?

With so many uncertainties, the plan to catch a flight back to China tomorrow morning can only be temporarily canceled.

This means that they have to stay in Country M to welcome the first wave of meteor showers.

The best places to observe meteor showers are in the central and southern parts, and City L belongs to the central part, so for safety, they'd better leave City L as soon as possible.

She looked at Youqi and Tang Yatong. The former was brainwashing the latter, wanting her to fly back to China with them tomorrow.

I wonder if she would have the urge to beat her up if she suddenly changed her mind and told Youqi that she would not return to China...

**

An hour later, in a 24-hour supermarket in L City.

Youqi stood in front of the shelf of bottled water, turned around and looked at Youxi, lowered her voice and asked: "How big is your... space?"

Youxi's space was originally only about 20 cubic meters, and the rest was filled with various food supplies with expiration dates.

But before traveling through the world this time, she took out most of the supplies inside, leaving only a small amount of takeout, snacks, vegetables, meat, eggs, milk, seafood, 15 barrels of 19L bottled water, two boxes of bottled water, twelve stacked 500L barrels filled with tap water, and several boxes of instant food.

Other non-food supplies were even fewer, a large box of clothes, a few gold bars, ammunition, electric batons, Tang swords, batons, multi-purpose shovels and other weapons, camping equipment, cold-weather clothing, a small amount of medicine, a small amount of daily necessities... all prepared according to the standard amount for two people for three months.

She temporarily moved all the other things into the star house. Now it has 40 square meters and 8 meters in height. Strictly speaking, it has 320 cubic meters of space. However, many things cannot be stacked, and time does not stand still, so it is not very convenient to store things.

But before this mission, she suddenly realized that one year in the mission world is equal to one second in the native world. Even if she stays there for 60 years, it will only take one minute

in the native world. One minute is just a blink of an eye. Even cooked food will not get cold. As long as the items are placed properly and do not collapse due to random stacking, this little bit of time is almost negligible for her in the apocalyptic mission world. It is equivalent to another warehouse where time stands still.

So she had already moved most of her things out, thinking that during the first 48 hours of peace, she could stock up on a large amount of goods in the apocalyptic world, so that she would not consume her own supplies and perhaps she could bring more back.

When the others went out just now, Tang Yatong went first, and You Xi took You Qi with her, and put all the important items in the apartment, including clothes, blankets, bedding, drinking water, non-breakable cups, dishes, bowls, chopsticks, pots, cash, gold jewelry, computers, photo albums, etc., into the space. You

Qi was a little stunned as she looked at the apartment, which was left with only an empty shell in an instant. Now she was very doubtful whether her sister's space was full.

You Xi glanced at You Qi and said, "There are about 130 cubic meters left." Then, he added, "Time is still, and there is no gravity."

You Qi certainly understood what this meant, so she stopped talking, took out a note list, and started stockpiling.

She wrote this list on the way to the supermarket, mainly based on Youxi's opinions.

"Sister, do you believe me? Even if I don't explain anything?"

"You are my sister. If I still don't believe you after you revealed such a secret, then I am not worthy of being your sister. I know there are some things you can't say, but it doesn't matter, you don't have to explain. Anyway, from now on, I will do whatever you say, and everything will cooperate with you, so don't worry."

Youqi reached out and rubbed her sister's fluffy head. Although rebirth and the like sounded very mysterious and not real at all, she asked Tang Yatong, and Youxi did behave strangely today, as if she knew something and had to rush to her side as soon as possible.

If it wasn't because she had experienced it once, how could she know that she would fall into the water.

She felt distressed when she thought that her sister might face life and death without her being by her side. If he hadn't died so tragically before, how could he become so sensible after being reborn?

Afterwards, the two began to shop according to the list.

Country M has a small population, and it was close to midnight in a 24-hour supermarket in a relatively remote location. There were basically no people in the entire supermarket, only various tall shelves.

The supermarket chosen by Youqi had a complete range of goods. After knowing that her sister's space was 130 cubic meters, she gave up the idea of ​​moving the water herself and planned to buy other lighter things first, and then ask the supermarket staff to move the goods in large quantities.

The first cart: staple foods such as flour, fragrant rice, glutinous rice, and pasta, canned meat, canned fish, canned fruit, instant noodles, and other fast foods.

The second cart: chicken legs, breasts, wings, eggs; pork, pork bones, sausage, bacon, hamburger; beef, oxtail, tendon; herring, salmon, cod, eel, octopus, oysters, shrimp, and other seafood; potatoes, onions, eggplants, celery, cucumbers, tomatoes, corn, green peppers, okra, and other vegetables; onions, ginger, garlic, salt, sugar, pepper, chili powder, and other condiments.

The third cart: apples, grapes, oranges, strawberries, kiwis, cherries, coconuts, and other fruits; milk powder and other dairy products; coffee.

The fourth cart: various beverages and wine.

The fifth cart: various household items and paper products.

Afterwards, she found the supermarket staff and asked them to help her get 40 boxes of 5-gallon x 4-barrel boxed water and 10 boxes of 24-bottle water. In addition, she also asked him to help her get 50 frozen steaks, lamb chops, chicken steaks and fish steaks directly from the warehouse, as well as 50 frozen pizzas.

These are also fast food. Each steak has a separate package of seasonings and butter. It only takes a frying pan and 3-5 minutes to fry.

There are so many things that neither Youxi's car from the town nor Youqi's car can fit.

So on their way to the supermarket, Tang Yatong had already gone to get a car. She drove a truck over and drove to the supermarket entrance as soon as she received Youqi's call, and asked the supermarket staff to use a delivery truck to load the things they bought and packed into the truck one by one.

The truck was slightly bigger than the small truck that Youxi had driven before. Tang Yatong was sitting in the driver's seat. She saw from the rearview mirror that they had bought so many things and shook her head helplessly.

Youqi was too doting on this sister. She had always doted on her, and this time she was even more doting on her. She even joined in the fun. One moment she wanted to take her back to her country, and the next moment she said she wanted to stock up on goods and temporarily leave L City. She didn't know why she had to go along...

Tang Yatong opened the car window and lit a cigarette irritably. After she finished the cigarette, all the goods in the back were finally loaded into the car.

Fortunately, the car was big enough, but it was still about half full.

Afterwards, Youxi drove Youqi's car, and Youqi got on Tang Yatong's truck.

Tang Yatong thought she could call it a day and go back to sleep, but Youqi gave her the address of the next stop as soon as she got on the bus.

"Are you really not sleepy in the middle of the night?"

"It's okay, this is also a 24-hour supermarket, and there are many must-buy items. Let's drive." Facing her friends, Youqi knew that there were some things she couldn't say for the time being, and now she could only toughen her attitude and buy things before leaving L City.

They came to the next supermarket mainly for the protective equipment here. The gas masks, protective clothing, camping equipment, and extremely low-temperature cold-proof clothing on the list were all here, and there was also a large drugstore area in this supermarket, and Youqi also emphasized the various drugs.

Finally, Youqi even packed a bunch of extreme sports equipment and escape backpacks and loaded them into the car.

Tang Yatong looked at the truck that was completely full, and stood aside smoking a cigarette, "What a waste..."

She threw away her cigarette butt and wanted to get on the truck, but found that Youqi was already sitting in the driver's seat: "Get in, I'll drive."

"You don't have another stop, do you?" Tang Yatong was about to collapse.

Half an hour later, the two cars stopped at a quiet street corner one after the other.

Tang Yatong grabbed Youqi who wanted to get off the car: "Are you crazy? Do you know where this place is?"

"I know, but you have to buy weapons." She only had a six-round revolver pistol and two boxes of bullets in her apartment, which she had just put in the warehouse, but this was far from enough.

"Don't buy it. I have some in my apartment. I'll get it back for you."

"That's not enough. I want a big guy."

"..." Tang Yatong and her looked at each other for a while: "Can you explain what's going on?"

"Didn't Xiaoxi already say it? You just don't believe it."

"What do I believe about her rebirth?"

"Don't ask if you're a friend. I believe my sister. It's okay if you don't believe her. Just believe me."

Tang Yatong pounded on the car door and turned to Youqi and said, "Okay." Okay, the other party has said this, today she will accompany him to the end, anyway, she is alone.

She took out her mobile phone, dialed a number, told the other party that she wanted goods here, and then reported the names of various "big guys".

Afterwards, she took out a pen and paper from the front flap, wrote down an address and handed it to Youqi: "Come here in an hour and a half. There is no surveillance there. There is a black car with the license plate number XXX, and the things are in the trunk. Leave the cash and move the things away."

"Got it." Youqi looked at the address and found that there was still a lot of time. She first sent a message to Youxi to let her follow, and then turned around and went to the ATM to withdraw money.

Afterwards, Youqi drove the car to the downstairs of Tang Yatong's apartment and motioned for her to go upstairs to pack up all the cash, valuables, documents, and clothes and supplies in the house. She waited for her downstairs for half an hour: "Remember, you must take the important things with you. You may not have the chance to come back to get them in the future."

Tang Yatong looked at her for a minute: "Crazy? Okay, let's go crazy together." She wanted to see how Youqi would clean up this mess later.

Because they were going to shoot this morning, some of Tang Yatong's documents and clothes were in the suitcase, which they had moved from the rented car to the back seat of Youqi's SUV when they left Youqi's apartment. Youqi was driving the car at the moment.

Tang Yatong went upstairs to pack up her important personal belongings, several large and small guns, a bunch of bullets, and valuables such as cash.

Finally, she carried a luggage bag downstairs and threw the things directly into the car.

A group of three people in two cars went to the handover location designated by Tang Yatong's friend to pick up the "big guy". When Youqi knew how much cash she had to hand over, she knew roughly that there were a lot of things this time, but she was still stunned when she opened the trunk. There

were various models of various sizes, and a whole box of bullets, grenades, and tear gas.

Youxi got out of the car, and while keeping a vigilant eye on her surroundings, she quickly moved the three travel bags and a large box to the trunk of the SUV.

She could hear a muffled breathing sound not far away, but she did not hear any sound of instruments, which meant that the other party did not have a weapon in his hand.

The three of them moved very quickly, and in just a few minutes, they drove quickly into the night.

**

The three people and two cars did not go back, but left L City directly to the north overnight.

A long time ago, Youqi bought a villa near S Peak, more than 300 kilometers away from L City. Because the address was remote, it was very cheap when it was bought.

Youqi fell in love with this villa at that time because it was surrounded by mountains and rivers and had a beautiful view. It was also close to nearby towns, making shopping very convenient.

She had always wanted to take Youxi there for vacation during her holidays, but Youxi liked big cities and said she didn't like going to the countryside with a lot of insects, so she had been in Country M for two years and only knew about this villa but had never been there.

For Youxi, although "she" had never been there, "she" had heard from Youqi that there was a large basement under the villa, which used to be an air-raid shelter, built during the Cold War, and had complete ventilation equipment.

In Country M, many private villas actually have such basements or air-raid shelters under them.

After Youqi bought the villa, she asked someone to slightly renovate the air-raid shelter, painted the ceiling and walls, installed floors and water, electricity, air conditioning, and separated out a simple bathroom and kitchen.

The overall decoration was very simple, and Youxi was very satisfied with it.

After all, her original plan was to go to a centralized air-raid shelter or basement to avoid the first wave of meteorite rain. But now there is a ready-made private air-raid shelter, which is of course the best.

After driving for three and a half hours, the two cars, bathed in the morning light, finally arrived at the town of Ruhr near the S Peak.

Following Youxi's suggestion, Youqi stopped the car at several restaurants and went into the store to make reservations.

Coffee shop: 100 cups of coffee of various flavors, and 50 portions of various croissants.

Hamburger shop: 100 burgers of various styles, and 50 portions of various fried chicken.

Pizza shop: 50 freshly made pizzas of various flavors, and 50 portions of vegetable and fruit salads.

...

This part is convenient cooked food, in order to cope with the situation where it is inconvenient to cook.

Because the order was large, several restaurants said that they would not be able to prepare all the meals until the afternoon.

"It's okay, I'll drive over again in the afternoon." Youxi said to Youqi after listening.

"I'll come over, I'm afraid you'll get lost."

"No, I'll come over, I know the way now. Sister, I have other important things to give you."

"Okay, be careful."

After driving for another half an hour, the car arrived at the villa.

The villa is not far from the lake, and the surrounding vegetation is lush. In this villa area, each house is separated by a large distance. At night, there are almost no people around, and everything is silent.

Youxi drove the SUV into the garage. She got out of the car and walked to the garage door. She glanced at the sky on one side. Above the blue sky, there seemed to be several stars with tails that were particularly bright.

Even with her vision improved two and a half times, she could only vaguely see a little bit, which ordinary people could not perceive at all.

She frowned, opened the rear compartment, and began to move things.

She walked into the villa carrying her travel bag. Tang Yatong was lifting the dust cloth on the furniture one by one, and You Qi went to turn on the circuit switch.

You Xi put the things on the ground, found the TV remote control, turned it on and tuned to the news channel.

After switching channels several times, she finally found the information she wanted to see.

On the news screen, there was still news about the meteor shower that would arrive at nine o'clock tonight, but the face of the host had changed from relaxed to solemn. The other party said that after experts re-surveyed, this meteor shower will turn into a "meteor storm" and the number of meteors per hour may be as high as 500 to 600.

At the same time, it is not ruled out that some debris that was not destroyed in the atmosphere will fall to the ground. Although the authorities have repeatedly said that citizens do not need to be nervous, they still hope that citizens can stay indoors as much as possible at night to ensure safety.

Youxi turned around and saw Youqi and Tang Yatong standing not far behind her, looking at the TV screen thoughtfully.
