Chapter 153 (Catching Bugs)
Perhaps it was the so-called mother-daughter nature. To others, Yun Mian's words sounded like childish nonsense, but to Yun Jinshu, she was able to extract key words in a second.
"Strange uncle?" Yun Jinshu grabbed his anxious daughter and squatted in front of her and asked, "Tang, Mianmian, what strange uncle?"
Fortunately, the system has been temporarily "blacked out" due to the punishment, otherwise it would have exploded on the spot after hearing Yun Jinshu's question.
Under her mother's inquiring gaze, Yunmian suddenly remembered what the system uncle had said. She subconsciously clenched the miserable ball in her hand that didn't even emit light, and shook her head at her mother with her lips pursed.
She was not good at lying to her mother, so after thinking about it, she simply hugged her mother's neck, rubbed her frizzy hair, and said softly and coquettishly: "Mom, this is my secret, you can't tell anyone, otherwise I will never see you again~"
After saying that, she stepped back a little bit, wrinkled her face and said worriedly: "Mom, there really will be a terrible monster. Let's hide quickly. I'm not lying."
Of course Yun Jinshu could easily tell whether his daughter was lying or not.
But this kind of thing is too much like a child's whimsical and terrifying fantasy.
What Ultraman, what monster, and eating children... Yun Jinshu didn't delve into the strange uncle anymore. She picked up the little girl and asked her as she walked to the bedroom, "How did Mianmian know that a monster would appear? Is it the kind of monster in Ultraman?"
She asked in detail. Yun Mian thought about it and shook her head obediently: "I don't know either..."
Uncle System said it was a monster of doomsday.
But she has never seen the end of the world or a monster.
Yunmian held the light ball in one hand, nervously tugged at her mother's clothes, and whispered in her arms, "Mom, Uncle Ball said it's a doomsday monster. It will be everywhere outside. Can we stay at home? If we stay at home, the monster won't find us and eat us."
Strange uncle, ball uncle, doomsday, monsters, cannibalism...
Yun Jinshu looked at his daughter deeply, then raised his hand to rub her hair and said softly, "Mianmian, do you think what that uncle said is true?"
Yunmian nodded without hesitation: "Uncle said he will be here soon, only..."
After hesitating for a moment, the child, who still didn't quite understand time, held up two thin, short fingers and said obediently, "There are only two seconds before the monsters come out."
Two hours?
Yun Jinshu's pupils shrank slightly.
It was difficult for her to tell whether the "doomsday" and "monsters" her daughter and the so-called Uncle Ball were talking about were true or false.
But for anyone, hearing about a predicted horrific event alone would not cause them to panic. But once a time period is added to this event...
Even if it is really a fantasy, there will definitely be a vast majority of people who will pay attention to this matter and this time point before that time point arrives.
What’s more, the so-called “doomsday” given by Yunmian would come so soon.
Just two hours!
Yun Jinshu was still skeptical, but the instinct of humans or animals facing crisis made her hair stand on end and her scalp tingle the moment her daughter raised two fingers.
The unknown panic feeling of being locked in a huge crisis made her tremble subconsciously.
His breathing became heavier, and then he could never regain his previous calmness.
Yun Jinshu put her daughter on the bed and quickly took out her cell phone to check the time.
13:06 pm.
Assuming that everything my daughter said would come true, there would only be one hour and fifty-four minutes left until the so-called doomsday.
With less than two hours left, how could he make good use of this time difference to give himself and his daughter more chances of survival in the doomsday crisis that might come next?
Yun Jinshu forced himself to calm down. While calming his increasingly rapid heartbeat, he tried hard to think about what he could do in just over an hour.
Doomsday, monsters are everywhere, hiding at home...
Yun Jinshu half-knelt beside the bed under her daughter's confused gaze. Without caring about anything else, she hurriedly searched the Internet on her mobile phone.
[If the end of the world comes, what supplies should be prepared?]
[Wartime emergency supplies list]
[Wartime Material Reserve List]
While searching, he took out the pen and paper used by children to write and draw from Yunmian's toy box in the corner of the bedroom and made hasty notes.
Food: rice, noodles, oil, various condiments, instant cooked food...
Medicines: iodine, alcohol, gauze, medical cotton, vitamins, anti-inflammatory drugs, band-aids, thermometer...
In addition, there are large-capacity waterproof backpacks, emergency water, fire sources, light sources, various tools, as well as identity cards, paper and pens, underwear, sanitary products, etc.
After writing all these things down on paper, Yun Jinshu hugged his daughter, who had leaned over to look at the paper at some point, and drew strength from the little girl's warm body. After calming himself down a little, he opened the food delivery app on his phone, searched for the relevant items, and quickly placed an order without blinking, noting that it should be expedited.
The food delivery software is very comprehensive, and most things can be bought from pharmacies and supermarkets. If that doesn’t work, you can ask someone to run errands for you.
After doing all this, Yun Jinshu called Gu Jiangan who was still in the hospital.
"I bought some things and left your phone number. When you get a call later, tell them that the things are piled outside the door. Just be rude."
After giving a quick reminder, Yun Jinshu didn't even listen to Gu Jiangan's apologies for Old Lady Gu's visit today. She hung up the phone and concentrated on thinking about whether there was anything she had missed.
Thanks to her consideration of her own and her daughter's safety and growth environment, she spent a lot of money to rent a one-floor-one-unit apartment, so the entire stairwell can be piled with a lot of things, and the house is big enough to accommodate enough supplies.
Yun Jinshu didn’t have the mind to think about what to do with these things if the end of the world had not come.
This was the last thing she needed to think about, something that could be proven in just two hours, and she didn't feel that her crazy behavior was risky.
After buying all the things on the paper, Yun Jinshu searched for a few similar posts and compared the contents to see if he had missed anything.
After placing orders for some things one after another, Yun Jinshu breathed a sigh of relief, rubbed his head in his arms, carefully put his dozing daughter on the bed, and then went to the living room alone.
She looked around her home.
What we need to guard against is not only the so-called monsters, but also the countless malicious humans who are rapidly breeding because of the doomsday.
Even in peacetime, Yun Jinshu would always make many considerations for the safety of himself and his daughter. Now, he puts defense against humans at the forefront of defense against the end of the world.
So she not only needs the supplies for life, but also enough offensive weapons and defensive tools.
In fact, Yun Jinshu's mind was a little messy and it was difficult for her to sort out her thoughts at the first time, but she was trying hard to find the tiny threads from the tangled mess.
What made her both thankful and regretful was that the country's control over weapons was very strict, and she couldn't make full preparations in just over an hour, so she could only focus on the present.
Knife, stick, plank, hammer, thumbtack...
Yun Jinshu lives in the city center. It is impossible for her to take her daughter from here to the relatively sparsely populated countryside in just over an hour, but a car and oil are necessities.
As the time number at the top of the phone screen grew larger and closer to three o'clock, Yun Jinshu bit the soft flesh on his cheek a little hard and had to rely on the pain to calm himself down.
Yun Jinshu held his breath and turned on the external surveillance screen on the computer until the sounds of heavy objects being moved and put down were heard outside.
She took screenshots of every face that appeared in the camera, and then when everything was almost in place and there would be no delivery men around, she turned off her computer, took two kitchen knives and a boning knife from her home and put them in her handbag, then locked the door and walked out.
There were some things she had to buy herself.
When she went out, there were less than 55 minutes left until 3 p.m.
Yun Jinshu walked out of the elevator. Some of the people she met were strangers and some looked familiar. The cleaner downstairs even greeted her with a smile.
The sky outside is still blue, the sun is still dazzling, and even the wind carries the irritating heat of midsummer.
Everything she saw seemed to be no different from usual, but she didn't know if she was scared by the "doomsday" her daughter mentioned, she found that she seemed a little stressed. Every step she took on the road felt like it was full of danger, and the dense goose bumps on her arms never went away.
In the car, she sent a text message to Gu Jiangan, who had just helped her, asking him to take the Gu family out of the hospital and find a quiet place. She wanted to talk to him about Yunmian's custody within half an hour, and no one would be allowed to wait after that.
After sending this text message, Yun Jinshu searched for the city's police and fire department telephone numbers and informed them that a drug transaction would be conducted in the suburbs in half an hour and that a large warehouse had caught fire in the suburbs. Then he threw away the phone card he had just bought using Gu Jiangxin's ID number.
Yun Jinshu drove the car to the nearest gas station. While refueling, he took in the entire gas station's personnel and building layout without leaving a trace. After paying, he left quickly.
When she finished her shopping and drove back to the underground parking lot, there were only 4 minutes left until three o'clock.
4 minutes passed. Yun Jinshu looked at the rapidly ticking stopwatch on the phone screen, watching the elevator arrive at his floor one by one.
When she successfully stepped out of the running elevator, her feet felt a little weak. She supported herself against the cold wall, took a deep breath, walked around the mountains of supplies in the corridor, and pressed her trembling fingers on the powered fingerprint lock.
"Beep - welcome home."
As soon as Yun Jinshu entered the room, he leaned against the wall at the entrance with a pale face, but his eyes were still fixed on the time numbers that were still jumping on the screen of his mobile phone.
14:58:47
After Yun Jinshu threw the bag containing weapons in his hand into Yun Mian's bedroom, he hurried back to his own bedroom, locked the door again and again, and then leaned on the windowsill with his hands and looked down.
Her cell phone was in her right hand. When she lowered her head to look at the neighborhood below and the street not far away, her peripheral vision caught the time on the cell phone at that second.
14:59:53
In just seven seconds, Yun Jinshu thought she would think of a lot of things, but she thought of nothing. Her mind was blank, and her eyes were fixed on every person who walked leisurely in the shade of the trees downstairs.
14:59:59
The next second, the phone vibrated wildly in my palm.
With two hours to prepare before Doomsday, what would you do?
Thanks to the little angel who irrigated the nutrient solution:
Four bottles of 10 bottles;
28281713, Small Fish Not Salty, 41962769 1 bottle;
