"Okay, I'll call them for you."
Ye Shaoheng compromised.
He would never admit that of all the things Shi Yin had said and done, what moved him the most was actually the sentence Shi Yin had said.
He's going to be the lead actor.
Who isn't a kid at heart? It's not too much to dream, is it?
"You'd better be telling the truth. You need to know what the consequences will be if you don't convince my boss and grandfather after they've been brought here." Ye Shaoheng felt his head spinning: "Those tricks you just used, can they be reused?"
He remembered that anime often featured moves that had a limited lifespan, such as those that could only be used once a day, so that he wouldn't use them all up and then be unable to use them again.
“If you want to experience it more,” Shi Yin raised an eyebrow.
"No, no, no need, I'll call them right now." Ye Shaoheng opened the phone, but suddenly struggled with what reason he should use to call the two of them over.
Ye Shaoheng is the youngest captain, and his superior is also the youngest superior. They don't interact much, but they are secretly competing with each other, breaking each other's records and surpassing each other's data.
Ye Shaoheng's grandfather was a major general; getting him to come over was an extraordinary feat, and it was not something that could be done easily.
If he were to say anything about the apocalypse or superpowers right now, these two would definitely beat him out with sticks.
“Two prison guards escorting the serious offenders were killed, which is a major reason why those three serious offenders escaped. Someone was working on them from the inside.” Shi Yin said calmly, “I know where they are, and I also know who is working on them from the inside.”
"...Really?!" Ye Shaoheng almost dropped his phone. He turned to look at Shi Yin, who had a calm expression, swallowed hard, and made a call.
This is no longer a simple murder and prison break case. Although it's not enough to ask Ye Shaoheng's grandfather to handle this matter, it should be enough to blackmail him, plus his request as his grandson.
Ye Shaoheng's forehead was covered in sweat; this was truly a do-or-die situation.
Either he succeeds, or he gets beaten to a pulp when he gets home today.
"So, really, shouldn't we call some other people? Isn't that too few?" Ye Shaoheng, after finishing his call, sat anxiously beside Shi Yin. "You need to notify more people, mobilize the entire nation..."
"As far as I can see right now, you are all people I can trust 100%." Shi Yin lay back in her chair with her eyes closed: "In the 1347 rebirths, in the 769 times I've interacted with you, you have never betrayed me."
Ye Shaoheng: "..."
"How much?!" Ye Shaoheng exclaimed in surprise.
Shi Yin glanced at Ye Shaoheng indifferently, seemingly already immune to this easily startled person.
“Don’t be so surprised. I didn’t have experience right away. Most of the time I was just trying and making mistakes,” Shi Yin said.
"So how many times have you actually managed to change anything?" Ye Shaoheng asked.
Shi Yin: "A little over a thousand."
Ye Shaoheng: "..."
Is there a big difference?
Two phone calls were still made.
Ye Shaoheng slumped dejectedly on the table, looking at Shi Yin who was pretending to be asleep with her eyes closed. He must have been out of his mind to impulsively do what Shi Yin said.
Now that he's brought the person back, talked to him privately, and made phone calls, he's starting to feel a bit scared.
If this is fake, I'll be lucky to escape with my skin peeled off today.
"We've arrived." Shi Yin suddenly opened her eyes and sat up straighter.
"What? It's here?" Ye Shaoheng looked at his phone blankly. "It's only been five minutes..."
Before he could finish speaking, the second half of his sentence got stuck in his throat. Who else could the two people who appeared at the door be but his grandfather and his boss?
"Out of 769 possibilities, I repeated this process 268 times. On the first day, the procedure and time completely overlapped 139 times," Shi Yin explained casually, then stood up and gestured for the two of them to proceed.
"Please sit down, Major General Ye, Mr. Jiang. I would like to ask everyone to turn off all their devices before we begin, so that I won't have to go through the trouble of blocking them."
Shi Yin took off her trench coat, revealing thin, fitted trousers and a shirt underneath, proving that she was not carrying any equipment or weapons.
“Although I can block all electronic devices, prolonged blocking will damage them, and I don’t think anyone would be willing to waste money on that.” Shi Yin said calmly, “At least before the apocalypse, currency will still be useful.”
"Of course, I hope that through everyone's efforts, money will still be useful after the apocalypse."
These words made the two of them swallow their questions and accusations. They couldn't understand what Shi Yin was saying, but they still turned off all electronic devices, including the interrogation equipment outside.
"First, I need to give you a brief recap. I hope you two will listen carefully before I finish, so that I won't have to explain everything by myself in the future."
Seeing Ye Shaoheng and the other two sit down, Shi Yin then sat down as well.
Ye Shaoheng's grandfather had remained silent ever since he first saw Shi Yin. Ye Yuansong considered himself to have met many people, but the first time he saw Shi Yin, he felt a sense of danger yet closeness.
It's strange. Like a sharp sword, once drawn, it could cause great harm and death. But this is a sword on his side, and at first glance, there's no need to worry about it piercing him.
What made Ye Yuansong hesitate to speak was Shi Yin's eyes.
She had a slender, tall figure, a youthful and pretty face, and eyes that seemed to have been washed by autumn water, cold to the bone, yet bearing an indescribable sense of vicissitude—something that couldn't be faked.
As for Jiang Wen, he had been quietly watching Ye Yuansong since he came in. The major general didn't say anything, so of course he didn't say anything either and just sat down.
"Let me give you a brief introduction. Shi Yin, age is not important."
"Let's start with the end times. This is a multifaceted phenomenon. First, humans have released a lot of harmful substances into nature. I don't need to elaborate, everyone knows this. This is the origin."
"Secondly, six months later, a meteor, or meteorite, will fall to Earth. It will be very small but will carry strong special radiation, which will amplify, enhance, and mutate all harmful substances."
"Third, the virus leaked. The virus, which came from an unknown source, spread rapidly around the world. It has an incubation period and is difficult to detect. We don't know exactly what it does, but eventually people will turn into zombies that are neither human nor ghost. Not only humans, but animals will also be affected."
"This is the source of the disaster."
Shi Yin narrated naturally, speaking with great fluency, as if she had repeated herself a thousand times, calm and peaceful.
"To summarize, the zombie virus has already leaked, the rate and extent of the leak are unknown, the meteorite was the triggering factor, causing widespread biological mutations, and I will try to postpone the event until six months later..."
"Wait, allow me to interrupt." Ye Yuansong raised his hand: "You said, the apocalypse? Do you know what you're talking about?"
"A vision of a world order and civilization severely damaged due to a global catastrophe or crisis," Shi Yin said calmly. "The definition of the end times."
Ye Shaoheng glanced at his grandfather, a little worried that Shi Yin and Ye Yuansong might have a generation gap.
"You said there would be a shooting star in six months. If that's true, the zombie virus outbreak should be in six months. Why do you say it will be postponed for six months?" Ye Yuansong continued to ask.
“Smart people shouldn’t pretend they don’t understand, Major General. You should understand now.” Shi Yin’s voice was completely flat: “The so-called virus is man-made. The meteorite was just a large-scale inducing factor.”
"Six months is the time it takes for humans to gain superpowers and be able to fight back."
