Mou Xuan reborn three months before the apocalypse, and with his awakened time ability, he was as if blessed by the heavens.
He calmly and decisively used his ability to travel to the future,...
The temporary trading point is still bustling with people, with the sounds of hawking and bargaining rising one after another, like a pot of boiling water, bubbling with steam.
Mou Xuan stood in the crowd, holding the list of supplies tightly in his hand, as if holding the code for survival in the apocalypse.
The noise around him had nothing to do with him. He only felt a wave of irritability rising in his heart.
Every word of the ten items on the list was as clear as if engraved in his mind, yet it made him feel a little uneasy.
"Food, water, medical supplies, energy, protective equipment..." Mou Xuan silently recited the names of these supplies over and over again, his fingertips lightly running across the paper, as if he wanted to see through this thin paper and see the real world after the end of the world.
He closed his eyes and tried to recall the scenes of struggling to survive in the apocalypse in his previous life, hunger, cold, disease...
Those painful memories came flooding back like a tide, making him shudder.
"Something's wrong!" Mou Xuan suddenly opened his eyes and frowned.
He found that the information description about the energy storage location was a bit vague, and he seemed to have never heard of this place in his previous life.
Did I remember it wrong?
Or is there something wrong with the information itself?
The trading point was filled with the smell of sweat and low-quality tobacco, making Mou Xuan feel a little difficult to breathe.
He rubbed his temples hard, trying to calm himself down.
People were coming and going, all with anxiety and uneasiness on their faces, as if the shadow of the end of the world had already shrouded this bustling trading point.
Mou Xuan's vision was a little blurry and he felt dizzy.
The dim lighting and polluted air at the trading point made him feel very uncomfortable.
He took a deep breath, trying to keep himself awake.
He knew that the accuracy of the information on these materials was related to his survival in the end times, so he had to be extremely cautious.
"No, I have to confirm it again." Mou Xuan muttered to himself, looking firmly into the depths of the transaction point, "Boss Zhou..."
Mou Xuan pushed through the crowded crowd and walked straight to the stall where Zhou Shangren, the owner of the temporary trading point, was.
Merchant Zhou was trying to sell a so-called "Apocalypse Survival Guide" to a bearded man with saliva flying all over his face. He praised the tattered booklet to the skies, as if owning it would allow one to walk freely in the apocalypse.
"Boss Zhou, I want to confirm the information of the materials traded previously." Mou Xuan said straight to the point.
Merchant Zhou looked Mou Xuan up and down, and a scornful smile appeared on his fat face: "What? Do you regret it? Little brother, this transaction was made by both of us, and it cannot be returned or exchanged."
"I don't want to return it," Mou Xuan explained patiently, "I just want to check again to ensure the accuracy of the information."
Merchant Zhou sneered, his fat flesh shaking. "My dear little brother, you are too cautious, aren't you? I spent a lot of money to get this information, it is absolutely reliable! You don't believe in my credibility!"
The people around were also pointing at Mou Xuan and whispering, as if they were watching a joke.
Mou Xuan felt his face burning, as if he had been slapped in the face.
He took a deep breath and suppressed the anger in his heart.
"Boss Zhou, are you sure you want me to tell you in front of so many people about the batch of fake and shoddy compressed biscuits you sold me last time?" Mou Xuan narrowed his eyes and spoke in a cold tone.
Merchant Zhou's smile froze, his face turned pale, and his eyes flickered.
"You...what nonsense are you talking about! I, Old Zhou, never cheat anyone in business. When have I ever sold fake goods?"
"Do you want me to produce evidence?" Mou Xuan sneered, took out a small piece of moldy compressed biscuit from his pocket and shook it in front of Zhou the businessman.
Beads of sweat appeared on Zhou Shangren's forehead. He didn't expect that Mou Xuan actually had such a trick up his sleeve.
The people around also began to talk and doubted the credibility of Zhou the businessman.
"Okay... okay," Zhou Shangren gritted his teeth and said humbly, "How do you want to confirm it?"
Seeing that Zhou the businessman had given in, Mou Xuan sneered in his heart. Just as he was about to speak, he suddenly heard a deep voice coming from behind him: "I can help you confirm the information about the location of the energy reserve."
Mou Xuan turned around and saw a man in a white coat and thick glasses standing behind him.
He knew this person, Researcher Wu who often appeared at the trading points.
"You?" Mou Xuan looked at him puzzledly.
Researcher Wu pushed up his glasses, a gleam of light flashed across the lenses, "Follow me."
Researcher Wu took Mou Xuan to a stall full of old books in the corner of the trading point. There was a lot of noise around them, but it seemed isolated from them.
There was a faint musty smell in the air, mixed with the stale scent of paper.
"I have made some new discoveries in my recent research on energy storage locations." Researcher Wu pointed to an open map, his eyes flashing with excitement behind his glasses, "The places marked on your list may not be the only energy storage warehouses."
Mou Xuan frowned, as this was somewhat different from his memory of his previous life.
Could it be the butterfly effect brought about by my rebirth?
Or is it that Researcher Wu’s research direction is different from mine?
He was full of doubts, but on the surface he remained calm: "Oh? I'd like to hear more about it."
"According to my speculation," Researcher Wu adjusted his glasses and spoke in a low voice, "there may be multiple hidden energy storage points in the area, and they are somehow connected to each other. They are likely part of a larger energy network."
"You mean, the information on this list is incomplete?" Mou Xuan asked back, with a hint of displeasure in his tone.
