Chapter 005 Chapter 5 Is this instant noodles?
After the mission report was completed, Wang Yuan and the others left, and An Qing was taken into the interrogation room alone.
Although she had been prepared, sitting in this empty and cold interrogation room, An Qing felt as if this was an interrogation room in a TV drama.
Therefore, she looked at the two people sitting opposite her with some nervousness.
The two people opposite were a man and a woman, wearing black uniforms of the Security Department. Through the original owner's memory, An Qing was not particularly unfamiliar with these two people.
One is the Minister of Security Song Yu, and the other is the Deputy Minister Wen Qing.
Compared to the serious Song Yu, Wen Qing seemed much gentler and more amiable. She smiled at An Qing and said, "Don't be nervous. We just need to ask you a few questions."
An Qing nodded, and her hand unconsciously touched the long-haired cat curled up on her legs. Feeling the cat's soft fur, she felt soothed.
Song Yu looked An Qing straight in the eye, his gaze somewhat sharp. "We've already checked your team's detection bracelets. How did you know the beast tide would break out in advance? Please answer truthfully."
An Qing pursed her lips and said, "I'm sorry, I need to report this matter to the leader face to face. Please report it to the leader for me."
Songyu was stunned and raised his eyebrows slightly.
The woman next to him smiled warmly and said, "Don't worry, if you have any questions, just tell me directly. Everything you say will be recorded and recorded and sent to the leader."
An Qing shook her head: "No, I can only report to the senior leader."
Look tenderly at Songyu next to him.
Song Yu looked An Qing up and down, "An Yiqing, this matter is very serious. I hope you won't have any ulterior motives and answer honestly."
An Qing looked at him unmoved, "I know, I didn't intend to hide anything, but I can only report it to the senior leader."
The two looked at each other for a long time, and Songyu frowned.
The beast tide broke out more than a month or nearly two months ahead of schedule, which is very important and serious for the entire human base.
After all, no one expected that the estrus period of exotic beasts could be advanced so far. Will it be advanced even further in the future?
The beast tide outbreak lasts for two months, which is a very long time, so every year before the beast tide breaks out, they need to collect enough plant roots and exotic beast meat in the dense forest to extract enough to support the base through the two months of the beast tide outbreak.
The early arrival of the beast tide meant that the time they had to collect nutrient solution materials was shortened.
This is a serious problem for the entire base.
Songyu and his team had looked at the records of the detection bracelets used by An Qing and his team when they were on the mission. There were no problems from the time they put on the bracelets to the time they left the base. It was not until they reached the edge of the dense forest that An Qing showed any abnormality.
It was as if she had suddenly gained the ability to predict the future, and she insisted and told Wang Yuan and others with certainty that the beast tide was about to break out.
Moreover, when Songyu listened to the conversation between their team, he could clearly sense that An Qing was intentionally delaying time.
Song Yu and An Qing were in a stalemate for a while. Song Yu nodded, stood up and said, "I can help you contact the leader, but I can't guarantee that the leader will meet with you."
An Qing breathed a sigh of relief without leaving any trace. She nodded and said, "Okay, thank you."
Songyu opened the door and walked out.
Only An Qing and Wen Qing were left in the inquiry room. Wen Qing felt around her body, took out a handkerchief and handed it to her, "Wipe it off. You've been sweating a lot."
An Qing was stunned, and only then she realized that her clothes were soaked with sweat and were sticking to her body, making her feel very uncomfortable.
She took the handkerchief and said, "Thank you."
An Qing used a handkerchief to wipe the fine beads of sweat from her forehead and neck.
She shook her head tenderly, sighed, and said, "Although I don't know how you knew the beast tide broke out in advance, if you hadn't come back, we would probably have to wait until tomorrow to go to the edge of the dense forest to know the news of the beast tide outbreak."
But there are more than just 188 teams that set out to collect materials.
"Thirty teams have accepted the mission today. I don't know if anyone will be lucky enough to come back alive." The smile on Wen Qing's face disappeared, and she looked worried.
Although she said so, she knew in her heart that the remaining twenty-nine teams would not be able to return.
An Qing was stunned. She opened her mouth, but her throat seemed to be blocked and no sound came out.
Yes, this mission wasn't just Team 188, there were other teams as well, but each team was heading in a different direction. After all, the jungle was so vast...
Team 188 survived thanks to An Qing, but the other teams...
The scene of the original owner and his companions’ death suddenly appeared in An Qing’s mind, and she subconsciously closed her eyes.
Seeing the pain and struggle on An Qing's face, Wen Qing hurriedly comforted her, "I'm sorry, I shouldn't have said that. It's great that you can come back, really."
An Qing bit the tip of her tongue. The pain made her a little more awake, but her face was still pale.
She didn't know whether Wen Qing mentioned other teams intentionally or unintentionally, as a test or something else.
But when An Qing thought about so many people dying in the beast tide, she found it difficult to breathe.
There are thirty teams, each consisting of six to ten people. Even if all these thirty teams are composed of six people, there are still one hundred and eighty people.
Among so many people, only six people in their team survived.
An Qing took a deep breath and tried not to think about it.
At this time, the door was pushed open and Song Yu walked in. "An Yiqing, the boss wants to see you. Come on, I'll take you there."
An Qing quickly stood up and followed Song Yu out of the inquiry room without saying a word.
Then they took the elevator all the way to the top floor.
The top floor of the central building is the office of the top leader.
The elevator door opened, and the big boss's secretary, Wei Xunyi, was already waiting at the door. He nodded at Song Yu and said to An Qing, "Follow me."
When you walk out of the elevator, there is a long corridor.
There are many rooms on both sides of the corridor. Because there are no signs on the doors, An Qing doesn't know what these rooms are used for. She just feels that it is terrifyingly quiet here.
Apart from Wei Xunyi and her footsteps, there was no other sound, which exacerbated the fear.
Is this where the top leaders work? Will there really be no problems if we stay in this environment for a long time?
For a moment, An Qing was very suspicious whether she had made a wrong bet.
Soon, Wei Xunyi brought An Qing to the end of the corridor and stopped in front of a double door.
Then, he knocked twice on the door and pushed it open. "Boss, An Yiqing is here."
The gentle voice of the leader came from inside, "Let her in."
Wei Xunyi pushed the door open completely. An Qing took a deep breath and walked in with some trepidation.
At her feet, the long-haired cat wagged its tail and slowly followed her in.
After An Qing went in, Wei Xunyi followed her in, closed the door gently, walked over, and stood next to the leader.
The leader is already in his fifties this year. There are obvious signs of aging on his face and gray hair on his temples, but he does not look old at all and is very energetic.
He put on the cap of the pen in his hand and looked at An Yiqing with a smile, "I have heard the details from Song Yu, now you can tell me."
An Qing glanced at Wei Xunyi, a little hesitant.
Seeing this, the big boss waved his hand to Wei Xunyi and said, "You go out first."
Wei Xunyi frowned, feeling somewhat worried, "Leader..."
The big boss said kindly, "It's okay, you can go out."
Wei Xunyi could only nod, glanced at An Qing with an obvious warning in his eyes, and then walked out of the office.
The door was gently closed, and the leader stood up and walked towards the rest area next to him. "Come over here and talk."
An Qing followed him over. The leader sat down on the sofa and motioned An Qing to sit opposite him.
So far, this big leader is completely consistent with the original owner's memory.
After An Qing sat down, she considered how to start the conversation.
"Okay, can you tell me now?" The big boss picked up the kettle on the table, poured two glasses of water, and pushed one in front of An Qing.
This casual attitude really made An Qing feel a lot more relaxed.
After thanking her, she took a sip of water from her cup and then said, "Boss, do you believe in rebirth?"
The leader didn't show any surprise on his face. Instead, he thought seriously for a moment and said with a smile, "If possible, I hope so."
An Qing understood that this meant disbelief, but it was normal not to believe it.
"If I say that I died after the beast tide broke out and was reborn before entering the jungle, would you believe me?" An Qing carefully observed the leader's expression.
The big boss listened to her and didn't scold her for talking nonsense. Instead, he looked thoughtful.
An Qing: "I know you will find it hard to believe me when I say this suddenly, but besides rebirth, I have other adventures."
The big boss smiled and said, "Although I still don't quite believe it, if it's true what you said, then I can understand why you suddenly said a beast tide was about to break out."
Because of the experience, and being reborn back to before entering the dense forest, one can accurately know the time when the beast tide will break out.
"Tell me about your adventure first." The boss's attitude towards her was still warm.
An Qing nodded and continued, "My rebirth wasn't an accident, but because I was connected to a Happy Supermarket system, where I can buy some things I only had before the end of the world."
The big boss's eyes widened instantly, he stood up subconsciously, seemed to realize that he had lost his composure, and he slowly sat down again.
His Adam's apple rolled a few times, and he was unable to make a sound. He took a few deep breaths and finally uttered with difficulty, "Are you telling the truth?"
An Qing nodded: "Yes, it's just that the system level is too low, and there are very few items I can buy at the moment."
As she spoke, she opened the system panel.
She could go directly into the Happy Supermarket and shop there like she would in a real supermarket, and she could also directly open the panel and use it. She paid careful attention to the boss's expression to make sure that he could not see the panel.
The panel only shows one shelf, which is full of instant noodles of various flavors. One bag of instant noodles is worth 3 happiness points.
Now An Qing only has 10 happiness points.
She chose to buy a bag of braised beef flavored instant noodles and then took out the instant noodles she bought.
The big boss only saw An Qing point a few times in the air, and then took out a bag of things out of thin air.
The bag is completely transparent, and you can clearly see the round noodles and several bags of seasoning inside.
The big leader was born many years after the end of the world, and all he knew about the world before the end of the world was from some limited information, including some instant noodle brochures.
"Is this - instant noodles?" The leader's voice trembled a little.
