A challenge? It certainly is a challenge.
Shi Yin stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling window, calmly gazing at the blue sky outside. She noticed that birds had become increasingly rare to see outside.
Animals are more sensitive than humans. For example, many animals can sense an earthquake before it strikes. Perhaps it is because of their peaceful lives that only humans are so oblivious.
I've heard that pet shops, including some pet stores, are starting to get restless. Many bloggers on short video platforms have reported that their usually aloof pets now want to sleep with them every night.
The government began to force all residents in various places to relocate, giving them time to pack their belongings and register before starting to allocate houses and accommodations.
At this point, housing prices were no longer a concern; the priority was to gather obedient people around hospitals and schools for easier protection.
Of course, those who don't listen should stay at home and take care of their own supplies and safety. Don't wait until you can't hold on anymore and then remember the police and have them call you.
Before the environment weeds out the inferior from the superior, Shiyin chooses to let humans filter themselves first.
"Yinyin, have you seen the news? Come back now!" Her mother's voice came through the phone, urgent and filled with unconcealed worry. "Are you eating well there? I heard there are purchase limits. Money isn't an issue, make sure you eat well first."
"I'm fine, Mom. You just need to follow the rest of the group and buy what you can." Shi Yin took a few steps and sat down on a chair. "Buy things that are easy to carry and can fill your stomachs first. Meat and vegetables will be distributed by the government once things settle down."
Hey, Huaiyuan, don't grab my phone!
Honey, let's get down to business!
"We know that without you saying it. Just come back first." Shi Huaiyuan snatched the phone, his voice urgent. "Don't worry about school for now. Just come back. We'll buy you a ticket now. Let's make sure nothing unexpected happens."
"Dad, Mom," Shi Yin interrupted her father, opening her mouth but not knowing what to say.
say what?
They say your daughter is now a high-ranking official in the country? They say your daughter can be reborn and know the future?
Or is it that your daughter is now neither human nor ghost and has become indifferent to human emotions? Or is it that your daughter believes in victory but has failed time and time again, thus failing to live up to your expectations?
Shi Yin suddenly wanted to hang up the phone. She knew better than anyone why she wasn't recognized by the world.
"Mom and Dad, I'm under the protection of the government. Do you remember the news about the rare disease that appeared at my school not long ago?" Shi Yin made up a lie on the spot: "Because I gave Captain Ye directions, he took me to the military headquarters."
"Really? Captain Ye? Is it that young captain Ye Shaoheng from the internet?" Shi Yin's mother, Chu Ning, felt somewhat relieved upon hearing this.
"Yes, it's him." Shi Yin directly put the blame on Ye Shaoheng's head.
Ye Shaoheng, who was on a mission far away: "...Achoo!!"
"You just led a team for him, and he took you away? Why didn't you tell us?" Shi Huaiyuan was a little incredulous.
Her daughter always reported good news and never bad news. Logically speaking, Shi Yin should have announced this good news to the world long ago, and even the family dog should know about it.
[Besides, didn't you not want to join the army? Your mom made you want to, but you flatly refused.] Thinking back to what Shi Yin said, Shi Huaiyuan wanted to laugh. [Didn't you just tell us directly that you couldn't handle the hardship?]
“I didn’t serve in the military.” Shi Yin paused for a while before continuing, “It’s just that… I’m quite familiar with the terrain here. Well… I’m a college student, and I got to know Ye Shaoheng a bit better by showing him the way, so I stayed to help out.”
Yes, he's a college student, and he's familiar with Ye Shaoheng, so he stayed to help out.
Very good, that's the truth.
“I didn’t suffer,” Shi Yin added.
[Oh, I see.] Shi Huaiyuan breathed a sigh of relief. [Just come back after helping out. You haven't received any professional training, so don't let them take care of you. Besides... and this is a bit dangerous.]
“I know.” This time Shi Yin answered quickly: “I just handle logistics, I don’t fight alongside the other soldiers.”
Yes, she's in logistics now and isn't doing anything personally. When she does something, she's the one charging in alone, and it has nothing to do with the soldiers. That's all true.
"Okay, take good care of yourself. Call me if you need anything." Shi Huaiyuan gave a few more instructions and hung up the phone after Shi Yin gave a half-hearted reply.
"Clap clap clap".
"Tsk tsk, what excellent logistics."
As soon as Shi Yin hung up the phone, Helmod's voice came from behind her: "You've got top-level logistics."
Shi Yin ignored Hermod's teasing and let out a long sigh, as if she was trying her best to endure something.
"This uniform suits you perfectly. It's for commanders, and it'll definitely turn heads." Helmod didn't seem to care about Shi Yin's attitude and handed her the item.
It was a gentleman's cane and a pack of cigarettes. The silver metal cane gleamed with a cold luster, and a golden snake's head coiled around the handle, giving it a sinister and icy appearance.
"The cane, made of the most advanced synthetic metal, can withstand about 70% of your strength and save you the time to condense your weapon, reducing it from three seconds to less than one second. I think this is what you need most."
Shi Yin took the cane. It wasn't the first time she had ever received one, but it was the fastest she had ever gotten one. Clearly, this change had put too much pressure on Helmod. During this period, he had broken through his own speed barrier and worked day and night to get everything on schedule.
This is Shiyin's favorite weapon. It feels great in hand and has many functions. It can detect the fluctuations of zombies and supernatural abilities, and can also directly infuse power into it to turn it into a weapon. It can also regulate temperature and even has a calming effect.
Toki can certainly do it herself, but using superpowers directly consumes a lot of energy. Therefore, many superpowered individuals choose a medium even if they have superpowers, which greatly reduces the waste of superpowers.
“And this too.” Helmod saw Shi Yin take the cane, and with his other hand he took out a pack of cigarettes from his pocket: “Spices, this green one is a tranquilizer, and this red one is a stimulant. It’s best not to smoke more than seven a day.”
"Why is it shaped like a cigarette again?" Shi Yin took one out and strolled around in the sunlight.
The slender cigarette contained a bluish-green powder, and you could smell its cool aroma even when you brought it close to your eyes. It was an enhanced version of a tranquilizer, specially made for her.
“You can’t eat this stuff, otherwise I would have made it into medicine for you.” Helmod said innocently, “This is a special drug that can only be absorbed by burning. Eating it directly or making it into an injection would do more harm than good.”
"I'm telling you, you're no better than anyone else. What's wrong with smoking?" Helmod was hurt by Shi Yin's disdainful look: "You've done so many bad things, and you still want to be a good girl who doesn't smoke?"
Shi Yin didn't say anything. She was mainly afraid that she might be accidentally filmed on TV and then her parents would see her smoking.
They'll probably call and demand an explanation...
I'll have to explain later, which is so troublesome. And I'm worried about setting a bad example for children, and what if someone imitates it?
"Never mind, how did it go this time?" Shi Yin put the green cigarette in her mouth, and without a lighter, the flame flickered and immediately ignited.
Shi Yin took a deep breath, and the icy feeling rushed to her brain. The clamor in her mind and the boiling power in her blood calmed down almost instantly.
“I told you, the quality of my stuff is absolutely guaranteed.” Helmod saw Shi Yin’s shoulders relax and his expression softened a little. “There’s something I need to tell you. This time, I plan to put Freya in the Flame Dragon.”
