Apocalypse, superpowers.
These are unfamiliar words. Is this Chinese?
Neither Ye Yuansong nor Jiang Wen spoke, while Ye Shaoheng quietly shrank to the side, trying to minimize his presence.
"Words are no proof; you can experience it for yourselves first." As soon as Shi Yin said this, Ye Shaoheng couldn't help but curl the corners of his lips.
He had already experienced that strange feeling, and the thought that his boss and his grandfather would be in such a sorry state made him feel a sense of schadenfreude.
But the next second, Ye Shaoheng's smile vanished.
Because all three of them simultaneously played the same image in their minds: the scene of Ye Shaoheng being tested by Shi Yin.
Ye Shaoheng's panic, disbelief, and dishevelment... all the details were laid bare before the three of them.
Ye Shaoheng's face turned green. What was the difference between this and taking off your pants to fart in front of your boss or parents?
Why are they targeting him alone?
"Human theory suggests that superpowers arose from mutations in humans and zombies during meteorite radiation. Of course, this is indeed one of the reasons," Shi Yin continued. "In reality, this is also the world's own way of saving itself."
Ye Yuansong leaned back in his chair, his eyes sharp as an eagle's, confronting Shi Yin.
Shi Yin's eyes remained calm, neither yielding nor avoiding, nor assertive. In the end, it was Ye Yuansong who looked away first.
For some reason, looking into Shi Yin's eyes, Ye Yuansong felt an urge to give her his complete trust, as if the person in front of him was someone he could trust completely.
"How do you know so much?" Ye Yuansong asked in a deep voice. "Are you the only one who knows?"
“Generally speaking, being unintentionally and passively transported back to the past is called rebirth, but I should be considered to have done it voluntarily.” Shi Yin remained calm: “Not only do I know this, but I am definitely the only one who knows the most.”
The two people next to them couldn't get a word in edgewise; the scene had become a negotiation between Shi Yin and Ye Yuansong.
"How can I believe you? You should provide more compelling evidence." Ye Yuansong said calmly, "You should know how much of an impact this kind of magical thing can have on the real world."
“You will believe me.” Shi Yin’s expression was calm, but her words were extremely firm: “All those who can successfully rise to high positions have not only outstanding abilities but also accurate intuition.”
Ye Yuansong nodded slightly. The interrogation room was so quiet you could hear a pin drop. Jiang Wen and Ye Shaoheng exchanged glances. With the major general present, they dared not interrupt.
The difference in their status was too great, and Ye Yuansong had already asked them almost everything they wanted to know.
"Why choose us?" Ye Yuansong nodded, accepting the idea faster than Ye Shaoheng had imagined: "If you are really strong, in the apocalypse where heroes are vying for power and no one is controlling you, you will be able to perform better."
The fact that they were forced to accept those memories is already terrifying.
"I have been reborn a total of 1347 times. In ten-year periods, more than 50% of the normal people survived in Yanlong Kingdom in 214 of those times, and more than 70% of the normal people survived in 32 of those times. In every one of those times, I cooperated with the country."
Shi Yin's tone was cold and indifferent.
"Among them, I survived for more than 50 years and became one of the rare humans who survived to the end 1,134 times." Shi Yin stood up: "You're right, but that's not very interesting."
Boring? That's too arrogant!
Ye Shaoheng, who was listening silently, almost bit his tongue.
He wanted it too; it sounded just like something out of a shonen manga protagonist.
Even assuming the worst, can't he be the protagonist? Would the world die if it had one more protagonist? There are so many rebirth slots, what's wrong with giving him one?
"One last question." Ye Yuansong accepted the answer and stood up as well: "Were you the only one who was reborn?"
“There are quite a few, but the order is different. I was definitely the first one.” Shi Yin said to Ye Yuansong, “It’s a pleasure working with you, Major General. You still have the same drive as when you were young.”
“When I was young, I liked to gamble on everything. I was lucky and always won.” Ye Yuansong reached out and shook hands with Shi Yin: “How do you want me to help you?”
The atmosphere was so harmonious...
And it went too smoothly.
Ye Shaoheng felt his sleeve being tugged. He turned around and saw Jiang Wen mouthing something to him.
Jiang Wen: [No way, your grandpa really agreed? I didn't even understand what he meant.]
Ye Shaoheng: [I don't know.]
“But before that, I hope you can tell me everything about the apocalypse in detail,” Ye Yuansong said. “You have only given me a general overview, which I understand, but without the details, it will be difficult for us to take precautions.”
"It's not the right time yet, but I'll bring it up again at the big meeting." Shi Yin shook her head.
A large meeting?
Everyone was stunned for a moment.
"The conference!?" Ye Shaoheng reacted in the next moment and exclaimed in surprise. He was glared at by Ye Yuansong without any politeness and then sat back down obediently.
Ye Yuansong clearly had also thought of something, and his expression became hesitant.
"Excuse me for being blunt, but if you really want to convene the highest-level conference of the Yanlong Kingdom, we could run ourselves ragged and still not be able to hold it." Jiang Wen swallowed hard, finally unable to hold back any longer: "The three of us believing in you is truly lucky, but if those people hear what you're saying..."
I'd be lucky if I wasn't kicked out as a lunatic, I probably wouldn't even be able to get through the gate.
Ye Yuansong also hesitated. Even a major general can't just have a meeting held whenever he wants. His position has nothing to do with whether or not the meeting is held.
If he really wants to hold a large meeting, he'd have to fabricate a sensational reason to deceive people, forcing the meeting to proceed, but the consequences of that...
"Don't worry, just lead me to the door, I'll handle the rest myself." Shi Yin waved her hand dismissively: "I hope the Major General can show me the way to the conference in three days."
"Then why don't you just go find my grandfather? Why are you coming to me?" Ye Shaoheng muttered indignantly.
He was still resentful about Shi Yin showing Ye Yuansong and Jiang Wen the scene of him making a fool of himself; he would remember it for the rest of his life.
“If I don’t help you today, you will be dismissed, and S City will easily slip out of control. I hope you can keep S City in your hands,” Shi Yin said. “From now on, every matter may require the full support of the nation. You are more than capable of ensuring the efficiency of S City.”
“But there is something I really need your help with in the next couple of days.” As she spoke, Shi Yin coughed lightly: “I hope you can restrict the purchase of food, drinking water, and medicine as quickly as possible.”
"What?" Ye Shaoheng was stunned for a moment, then immediately realized, "Are you trying to kill the people who hoard goods?"
Shi Yin: "..."
"If you're not smart, then shut up." Ye Yuansong finally couldn't hold back anymore and hit Ye Shaoheng's leg with his cane.
Speaking of which, Ye Shaoheng's parents were both exceptional individuals. He and his grandmother were also geniuses with extremely high emotional and intellectual intelligence. How did their genes mutate in Ye Shaoheng's generation?
With that brain, you'd think the hospital had switched the babies.
Not only did he not inherit any of the Ye family's intelligence, but he was also not steady at all. Ye Yuansong had been trying to recall for several years but could not remember which generation of his ancestors was a mischievous monkey.
"Ouch, ouch..." Ye Shaoheng squatted silently to the side, not daring to say anything.
"Cough, firstly, it's to save their lives. I've seen tens of thousands of people who were reborn and hoarded goods, and the mortality rate was as high as 80%." Shi Yin coughed twice. "Secondly, my solution to the apocalypse is to try my best to maintain the country as it is and keep it running normally."
"Many people choose to take out loans and stockpile large quantities of goods, which disrupts the market balance and makes it difficult to distribute supplies."
"Of course, it's not that they're not allowed to buy, it's just that they shouldn't be allowed to hoard so much, which could last for several years."
"Frankly speaking, if those who have hoarded these things for five or six years were to be without internet and electricity, 60% of them would either go crazy or choose to commit suicide. This is not a good solution."
