Farming for Survival in the Apocalypse

Bi Qiao’an lay motionless in the icy snow, watching helplessly as the falling flakes slowly buried her. As her consciousness faded, her mind drifted back to the three arduous years she had spent ...

Chapter 879 Something unexpected happened

Qin Linwei felt numb from the soft voice. He looked outside and saw that his old friend had not returned yet, so he whispered, "Then hurry up!"

Shu Miaomiao flipped through the files faster. However, she didn't pay attention to the process and the words throughout the whole process, but carefully memorized the names of the reporters participating in the live broadcast.

"Yin Jiaqi, Peng Baoxin..."

"Are you ready?" Qin Linwei asked, wiping the sweat from his forehead.

"Okay, okay!" Shu Miaomiao repeated the two names again to make sure she would not forget them, then she closed the file and put it back where it was.

"Okay, husband, let's go back."

"Um!"

The two of them didn't think about waiting for Hong Zhang to come back and say hello. After all, he had already told them to leave, and if they stayed any longer, they would be laughed at.

But just as he walked out of the office and before closing the door, he ran into Qin Yuewen.

Qin Yuewen found that there was no one in the office, so he frowned and asked, "Who are you and why did you leave Leader Hou's office?"

Qin Linwei was about to speak when Shu Miaomiao pulled him aside and said with a smile, "We are friends of Leader Hou. I am the anchor Miaomiao."

Qin Yuewen nodded suspiciously, thinking that this girl was really weird. It had been several years since the end of the world, how could there still be people calling themselves anchors?

"Where is the leader? Where did he go?" Qin Yuewen asked.

Shu Miaomiao smiled and said, "The leader has gone to the bathroom and will be back soon. If you have anything to do, you can wait for him here. I have something else to do, so I'll leave first."

After saying that, he pulled Qin Linwei out.

Qin Yuewen thought the two were strange, so she followed them closely. When passing by the gate, she stopped a guard and asked, "Are they really here to see Leader Hou?"

The guard nodded: "Well, I've been sitting in the office for almost an hour."

Qin Yuewen waved her hand and felt relieved. She returned to the office door and saw Hou Hongzhang coming from a distance.

Qin Yuewen smiled and greeted him, then calmly asked, "Boss, two people just came out of your office..."

"Oh, you're leaving, right?" Hou Hongzhang interrupted.

Qin Yuewen nodded: "They said they were your friends."

"Yes." Hou Hongzhang took the document from Qin Yuewen and did not mention what happened just now. Qin Yuewen also knew what to do and did not ask any more questions.

After Shu Miaomiao left, she began to make plans. In fact, she didn't have much ability, but she relied on Qin Linwei's power to ask people to investigate Yin Jiaqi and Peng Baoxin.

The subordinates saw that the other party did not ask them to do anything illegal, and thought it was just a grudge between the girls, so they did not take it seriously and investigated the two people thoroughly.

After Shu Miaomiao got the information, he smiled and asked them to leave. Then he carried a bag of food and went to a certain street to find a few gangsters.

"I'm telling you, you have to get it done for me. If anyone messes up, I'll have my husband kick you out of the base."

Although the gangster didn't know who the woman in front of him was, he knew she was not a simple person by looking at her clothes.

“Also, those two are the backbone of the News Department. We asked you to kidnap them just to slow them down.

You have to hold them captive for two hours, and then release them. By the way, don’t use violence, don’t hurt anyone, and treat them kindly. Otherwise, if something goes wrong, I can’t protect you.”

The young hooligans were confused by what they heard, and thought that usually when people asked them to do something, they either wanted to beat someone half to death or kill them.

The girl in front of me is so gentle, she is really unique.

"Did you hear me? I'm not kidding you. You know how strict the security is at the base. If you just invite someone to stay as a guest, the guards won't do anything to you. At most, they'll give you a lecture. But if you hurt someone, not only will the guards punish you, but I won't even let you go.

My husband is..."

Shu Miaomiao thought it was better not to reveal her identity, so she changed the subject: "As long as you listen, I will give you another bag of food after the task is completed."

The gangster thought it was a simple matter and there was no risk, so he nodded: "Don't worry, I will definitely get it done for you."

Shu Miaomiao curled the corners of her mouth and left.

She gave this instruction not out of kindness. She just didn't want to make things worse and out of control. She just wanted to achieve her goal.

In the following days, Shu Miaomiao stayed at home peacefully. Qin Linwei saw that she didn't mention the live broadcast again, and thought she was content.

Unexpectedly, on New Year's Day, Shu Miaomiao got up early, dressed herself up neatly, and went to the location of the live broadcast without even saying hello.

Yes, it’s the small auditorium where we held the press conference last time.

Although the live broadcast does not require many people, Chief Alliance Officer Li still arranged a team of guards to the scene to protect Li Sikai's safety.

They stood upright around the small auditorium, watching the passers-by vigilantly.

Hu Yisheng and Li Sa arrived early. After they debugged the equipment, they discussed the process.

But as time went on, both of them became a little absent-minded.

Hu Yisheng asked in a low voice: "Sasa, tell me, what's wrong with Jiaqi? It's already half past eight and she hasn't come yet."

Li Sa also frowned: "I don't know either. Not to mention Jiaqi, even Xiaoxin hasn't arrived yet. Could something have happened? It's impossible for both of them to be late."

"But, what kind of accident could happen? They are not rich. And they live so far away from each other, how could they have an accident at the same time?"

"Could it be that this was premeditated? But what was the purpose?"

Just as the two were suspicious, the guard at the door stopped a well-dressed woman.

"Hello, ma'am. There is martial law here today. Please leave." The guard said seriously.

"I, I'm here to participate in the live broadcast." Shu Miaomiao looked a little shy, as if she was timid. In fact, she felt guilty.

"Oh, then please show me your ID."

"I don't have any ID. I was arranged here temporarily."

"Sorry, we were not notified. Please leave."

Li Sikai, who was in the small auditorium, heard the commotion at the door and was about to go over to ask, when he saw Hu Yisheng and Li Sa frowning and saying, "Could it be that something really happened? Otherwise, Yin Jiaqi and Peng Baoxin wouldn't have been delayed until so late."

Li Sikai raised his hand to check the time and asked, "Do you have their contact information?"

Hu Yisheng and Li Sa shook their heads: "Captain Li, we are ordinary people and we don't have cell phones. We only know their residential addresses, and we don't know anything else."

Li Sikai waved his hand, and a guard came forward. He said to the two men, "Tell me the address."

Then he said to the guard, "You, go to the road to greet them."

Both parties nodded and exchanged information.

After the guard left, Hu Yisheng and Li Sa walked to the door and looked at the unfamiliar woman and asked, "Who are you?"

"I am the anchor arranged by Hou Hongzhang."
