Chapter 67: Thick Rice
He Rui suspected that the impact of the meteorite just now was probably just like a small stone thrown onto the sea surface in the eyes of the group of calm passers-by outside, which only splashed a little water but did not create any waves.
Indeed, the vibration he just felt was not even as strong as the vibration he felt under his feet when he was standing on the edge of the bridge and a large truck loaded with goods passed by on the bridge.
"Is it starting now?" He Rui asked.
He couldn't help but feel a little hope in his heart, holding on to a glimmer of luck, hoping that Ji Changqing could give a good answer.
For example, the operation of the world this time is different from what this guy has experienced before. There may be no doomsday and no disaster will happen.
But soon, his expectations were dashed.
Ji Changqing coldly and lightly said something that made him shudder.
"The tremors just now indicate that a city has been destroyed. If the meteorite's impact location hadn't changed, the capital of the Northwestern Federation, including parts of several surrounding cities, would have vanished by now, leaving only a massive impact crater."
He Rui looked at Ji Changqing blankly.
After being touched by the other party, his chaotic thoughts finally became clear. He wanted to understand what the slight vibration that seemed insignificant to them just now actually meant.
The capital of the Northwestern Federation mentioned by the protagonist is basically equivalent to St. Petersburg, Russia on Earth.
From there, to where I am now.
The straight-line distance is about 8,000 kilometers.
The impact site was thousands of kilometers away from him, but he still felt a slight vibration.
That would clearly illustrate the current severity of the situation at the location where the meteorite impact occurred.
He Rui came back to his senses after a while.
I shrank my neck and felt inexplicably cold.
"What about the tsunami?" He said in a depressed tone, "Didn't they say there would be a giant tsunami?"
Ji Changqing lowered his eyes and indifferently poured tea for himself and He Rui. After a moment's silence, he slowly spoke, "You'll see it soon, in no more than an hour."
Hearing what the other party said, He Rui felt his throat tighten and his heart was blocked.
He landed the drone on the roof again.
He took off his shoes, sat on the small iron bed, and leaned back against the supply box behind him.
He felt a deep sense of powerlessness about the impending disaster, and never imagined that psychological pressure could be so painful.
Only when faced with a situation do we realize how difficult it is to die. Although we don't want him to die now, natural disasters are no easier than death.
He Rui silently looked at the half profile of the protagonist in front of him who was drinking tea quietly with a calm expression again.
He thought to himself, fortunately there is someone with him, not alone.
Otherwise, under this kind of pressure, with no one to talk to and share his emotions, it would be even harder for him.
He Rui hesitated and said, "Brother Ji, can I go to the bedroom and sleep with you tonight?"
Although he always muttered and cursed the other person behind his back, if you think about it carefully, from the perspective of the protagonist, there is no need for this person to keep a little brother like him who is holding him back by his side.
Judging from the other party's capabilities, there will be no shortage of metal resources even after the disaster.
So the other party agreed to protect him, which was actually a good deed.
Beneath the shell of the protagonist's violent personality, perhaps his nature is still that of a good young man who is willing to stand up for what is right?
He Rui felt that the other party would agree to him.
And logically speaking, he is the owner of the house, so why can't he sleep in the master bedroom?
Ji Changqing choked on his tea.
He covered his mouth and coughed lightly a few times, frowned, and turned his head to look at the person sitting diagonally behind him in disbelief.
Because he had learned from previous experiences, he needed to first understand what the other person meant and confirm that it was correct before he could curse.
He narrowed his eyes, raised his voice, and asked in surprise, "What?"
He Rui was still wondering why this guy suddenly coughed.
He suspected that the other party had misunderstood his words and thought he was Brother Jie.
When the other party asked, He Rui answered honestly, "I'm afraid I'll die inexplicably alone in the living room, so can I sleep in the same room with you? If something happens, you can still save me."
By the way, have a long chat.
"Oh, of course. I definitely don't want to share a bed with you. I want to move my small iron bed in and share a room with you. Is that okay?"
Upon hearing this, Ji Changqing's expression eased, but then became a little unnatural.
He turned his face away, leaving the other person with only the back of his head.
"Brother Ji, are you rejecting me?" Seeing that the other party did not answer his question, He Rui moved twice on the small iron bed, moved closer to the protagonist, and leaned his head to look at the guy's expression.
"Please, Brother Ji, you always stay in the bedroom and don't come out. If I die quietly outside, you might not even notice. Maybe you won't even notice when I attract flies. It will be so shabby then. You won't be able to live in this room anymore.
Of course, if I die, my three small houses and other property will all be given to you as a tangible cultural heritage. After all, I have no ties and no relatives here. You are my only support.
If you're worried about ghosts and me living here, then you can move to 704. I've already recorded your fingerprints anyway."
He Rui wanted to make a joke to lighten the mood, but seeing the other party looking at him coldly with a sullen face, it seemed that this guy was not amused by him at all.
He scratched his hair awkwardly.
However, after a bit of awkward chatting, I felt a little less depressed than before.
He Rui thought that if this guy didn't agree, he would try to persuade him again.
Because I have the experience of successfully getting someone to do something, I feel that if I say it a few more times, the protagonist will probably agree.
Otherwise, he would just carry his bed and sleep in front of the bedroom door tonight, testing the edge of being beaten and not being beaten, as long as he could stay in the same space with the protagonist.
Although He Rui didn't know whether he could sleep normally tonight.
I guess I'll suffer from insomnia.
He usually spends a lot of time training, and at the end of the day, he is so tired that he falls asleep as soon as he hits the pillow.
But today, he couldn't even muster the mood to exercise.
He Rui saw that although the protagonist's expression was not very good, he pursed his lips and nodded at him to show his agreement.
He was quite surprised and felt happy for a moment.
But under the current circumstances, no matter how happy I am, my mood will not be very high.
He raised his thumbs up and praised the other party, "Brother Ji is really good and reliable."
The other party glanced at him and said in a cold tone, "Go away, don't hang around in front of me."
"Okay, okay." He Rui nodded, and as the other party literally meant, he sat back.
He glanced at the drone controller placed aside.
He considered whether to send the drone home to recharge first.
