I Farm and Survive in the Apocalypse

Bi Qiao'an lay weakly in the ice and snow, watching the heavy snow bury her alive. Thinking back to her three years of solitary survival in the apocalypse, her consciousness gradually blurred. ...

The continuous rain for more than a month has had some impact on Qinghua Kingdom.

First, due to weather conditions, flights were grounded and almost all flights were canceled; trains slowed down and reduced their frequency by nearly half; and highways were closed based on time periods and traffic flow.

Secondly, for safety reasons, residents living in areas prone to natural disasters such as flash floods and mudslides, residents living downstream of reservoirs, residents living along rivers, lakes, and low-lying areas, as well as other residents in need, were relocated as a whole and temporarily arranged to nearby cities.

Secondly, due to the rain, many companies were unable to operate and were operating at a loss. Some businesses unable to cover their expenses had already begun layoffs. Some street-side shops, facing a sharp decline in customers and unable to afford rent, wages, and other costs, had announced their closure. The number of unemployed people increased dramatically due to the rainfall.

Finally, spring planting became almost impossible...

On this day, a group of special guests arrived at the Zhang family.

After arriving at the Zhang family's home, Special Envoy Qiu Man immediately showed his identification and said he had something to consult with Zhang's father.

Mr. Zhang's heart sank immediately; he hadn't expected the worst to actually happen.

"Mr. Zhang, I think you should know the purpose of my visit." Qiu Man was here on a mission, so he didn't bother with beating around the bush and went straight to the point.

"I'm sorry, I don't know." Mr. Zhang still held onto a sliver of hope. If he didn't admit it, surely they wouldn't force him to confess? Besides, those were just guesses, and there was no evidence.

"Mr. Zhang, may I ask why you, who were running Feiyang International so well, suddenly switched to opening supermarkets?"

"Business is about continuous expansion, so it's normal to cross over into other fields."

"As far as I know, after you took over the store, you neither renovated nor advertised. Instead, you kept purchasing supplies, showing no intention of opening for business at all. Can you explain this?"

"We weren't ready yet; we'll open when we're ready!"

"However, the supplies you purchased are different from the goods prepared by other supermarkets. They seem more like they are prepared for the apocalypse."

When Qiu Man spoke, he deliberately emphasized the words "end times" and paused slightly, observing Zhang's father's expression without making a sound.

As expected, Zhang's father stiffened for a moment, but quickly recovered. If Qiu Man hadn't been observing him closely, he would have had a hard time noticing.

"Really? It's probably just a coincidence, haha!" Mr. Zhang's voice was slightly stiff.

Qiu Man smiled and said, "Yes, it is quite a coincidence. What's even more coincidental is that the quantity of goods you purchased is inconsistent with the quantity of materials currently in the warehouse."

"You!" Zhang's father stood up abruptly in shock, pointing at Qiu Man and stammering, unable to speak.

"Please don't get agitated. I won't do anything to harm you. I've come here on a mission."

As you know, it has been raining all over the world for more than a month. After extensive investigation, we have not been able to find the cause, so we have no choice but to turn our attention to the general public.

We all know that there are people in this world with special abilities, and there are also people with extensive networks who can obtain top-secret information. After all, true masters often come from ordinary people.

I don't ask where you got the information or how you got it; I just want you to tell me what you know.

This is not only for the country, for the greater good, but also for you!

Seeing that Zhang's father remained silent, Qiu Man said, "Have you considered that if I can find you today, it means that others can find you tomorrow as well?"

As long as the secret of global rainfall remains unsolved, no country will overlook anything suspicious. Our Qinghua Kingdom authorities are quite open-minded; all you need to do is provide information, and we will guarantee the safety of you and your family.

If you don't cooperate with the country, there's no guarantee you won't be targeted by spies from other countries or some twisted scientists..."

After hearing this, Mr. Zhang trembled all over. "Please allow me to think about it."

Upon hearing this, Qiu Man knew it was a done deal. "Okay, we'll be staying at the Haishi International Hotel for the time being. You can contact me anytime."

After Qiu Man left, Zhang's father told Zhang Chenjun everything Qiu Man had said. After thinking about it for a long time, Zhang Chenjun decided to agree to tell Qiu Man what she knew.

Zhang Chenjun agreed for two reasons. First, having been reborn, she couldn't bear to see her compatriots struggling to survive in the apocalypse without any preparation. By sharing what she knew and allowing the country and its people to prepare in advance, she considered it an act of accumulating merit for herself.

Secondly, there's Xiao Fei's experience. In his previous life, Xiao Fei possessed a spatial ability, but after it was discovered, he wasn't imprisoned or experimented on. Instead, he cooperated with the country, with the country providing protection and Xiao Fei providing supplies, achieving a win-win situation.

Therefore, Zhang Chenjun felt that connecting with Qiu Man, or rather, connecting with the upper echelons of the capital, was a way to protect himself.

And so, when Qiu Man entered the Zhang family's study again, he found a beautiful woman there.

"Hello Mr. Qiu, I think I can provide you with some information, but I need you to guarantee the safety of me and my family."

Qiu Man was slightly surprised, but quickly regained her composure. "Ms. Zhang, rest assured, we are only here for intelligence and will not harm you or your family. After all, cooperation is the only way to achieve a win-win situation."

Zhang Chenjun nodded. "Actually, I've been having the same dream since last October. This dream keeps repeating itself, and the things in the dream keep happening one after another, so I've come to believe in my dream."

Zhang Chenjun subconsciously concealed her rebirth, choosing to use dreams as a cover.

“I dreamt of the apocalypse, but it was different from the apocalypse in novels. This apocalypse was a bit of a lie, and it wasn’t until a year later that people recognized it as the end of the world.”

Zhang Chenjun recounted her past life with a bitter smile, "Just like our current environment, it's raining all over the world, but this mere rain has heralded the end of the world..."

"So, the apocalypse will last at least three years?" Qiu Man was filled with terror after hearing this.

"Yes, I don't know if the apocalypse will end in three years. My dream ends three years after the apocalypse."

Qiu Man had no doubts about the information provided by Zhang Chenjun. After arranging for people to protect the Zhang family, he drove back to the capital overnight.

He had to report to the Grand Alliance official immediately; this news was truly shocking and terrifying!

The Zhang family's life returned to normal once again, but things were different. Two security guards moved into the Zhang family home specifically to protect Zhang Chenjun's safety.

The Zhang family's belongings were not taken away, but after this incident, Zhang's father no longer felt safe.

"Nini, have you found any clues about Xiao Fei's ring?"

“Not yet.” Zhang Chenjun shook her head. “He doesn’t have a ring on him. I’ve tried to find out, and he doesn’t have any antique rings at home.”

"What if he's not telling the truth?"

Zhang Chenjun thought for a moment, "Then let's have someone go to his house to check it out first!"
