Chapter 8 Confess and Go Home
At night, Yin Shan thought about how to tell his parents about the upcoming changes in the world. He prepared to be honest about the space so that his parents would not have to worry about survival issues first, so that he could improve his physical fitness in the next month or so. After the apocalypse, the neighbors were able to maintain harmony with each other at first, but the heavy rain after the acid rain caused many floors to be flooded. Yin Shan's house was flooded at that time, but because his parents suddenly decided to move, the whole family moved to another house. However, the flood eventually submerged 7 floors. Yin Shan's family lived on the 10th floor at the time, and many residents on the ground floor kept coming up to bang on the door in the hope of being taken in.
Yin Shan remembered that his parents did not agree to take in the neighbors, but instead took in Lu Yunchao. As a result, Lu Yunchao loved to show off, saying that his family had a lot of supplies and mocked other hungry neighbors. In the end, Yin Shan's house was broken into by angry neighbors and all the supplies were stolen.
Yin Shan recalled what happened that year and clenched his fists. Lu Yunchao, it will be soon. When the rainstorm floods the 7-story building, that will be your death.
Yin Shan knew that Lu Yunchao was all good looks and eloquence, but in the end-of-the-world living environment, sweet words could not fool hungry people, and no one would be fooled. Lu Yunchao could not cook at all, and had no habit of stockpiling food. Moreover, his house was on the 5th floor, so he would definitely not have an easy time.
Yin Shan remembered the last words her mother said to her: "Shan Shan, open your eyes. For your own sake, you must live." These words accompanied Yin Shan for many years. It was not until she was eaten by cannibals that she truly understood what her mother meant.
Yin Shan shook his head and decided not to recall the past, so he ordered a bowl of spicy hot pot for himself and bought a lot of sanitary napkins, toilet paper, storage boxes, water cups, water towers, and water purification tablets on Taobao.
After the apocalypse, toilet paper became a scarce commodity. Don't ask Yin Shan why he knows this; he can only say that stones and sticks are just too hard. Those who understand will understand. Water towers and water purification tablets are designed to store rainwater. Acid rain only lasts a week, followed by two days of sunny days, and then three months of torrential rain. When the acid rain ends, many people assume the disaster is over. At that point, the authorities reopen supermarkets, but with purchase restrictions.
Yin Shan remembers that rice cost 100 yuan per catty at that time, but many people did not buy it. People thought that the government was taking advantage of the national disaster to make money, and there were many bad comments on the Internet. However, Yin Zhiwen felt that the government did this because there would be subsequent natural disasters, so he spent all the family savings and bought a lot of supplies.
After buying these, Yin Shan bought a lot of tablets and mobile hard drives, preparing to download materials for subsequent learning. After all, TV dramas and variety shows will not be available for many years, and a lot of information will not be preserved. Yin Shan wants to download as much as possible. If there really is an end one day, these materials will become the hope for human revival.
The next morning, Yin Shan first rented a refrigerated truck and parked it near the farmers' market, and then returned home.
Standing at the door, Yin Shan took a deep breath and opened the door. The first ones to rush in were Hanhan and Qixi. Yin Shan happily hugged them both. After the apocalypse, when the door to their home was broken down by the neighbors, Hanhan and Qixi were killed and eaten. She was sad for a long time at that time, and Lu Yunchao said to her, "Kill them, they will be eaten sooner or later. Shanshan, we are happy as long as we are alive. Don't worry about anything else."
Yin Shan looked at Hanhan and Qixi, who were so happy to see her, and burst into tears. Guan Yunhua saw her daughter's expression and quickly comforted her: "It's only been a few days since I last saw them. Why are you still crying? Come in quickly. Your dad and I are waiting for you."
Yin Shan saw his father coming over and saw that his father looked much better and walked like a normal person. He knew that the marrow cleansing pill had taken effect, so he pulled his parents to sit down and prepared to tell them something.
Yin Shan gathered his thoughts and spoke, "The apocalypse is coming, and it will last at least ten years. The first wave will be acid rain, which will last for a week. This will be followed by three months of torrential rain, with floods everywhere. During this period, there will be sustained high temperatures, reaching a maximum of 40 degrees Celsius. This will be followed by a rapid drop in temperature. The temperature will drop below zero overnight, and then gradually drop to -60 degrees Celsius. The extreme cold will last for about a year."
Upon hearing this, Yin Zhiwen raised his hand to interrupt Yin Shan and said, "Shan Shan, how do you know so much? Even if you gave the government benefits, they wouldn't tell you so much."
When Yin Shan heard what his father said, he knew that he had begun to doubt that he had gotten into trouble, so he stopped hiding it.
"Dad, after the extreme cold comes the awakening of living things, accompanied by extreme heat. The temperature will rise overnight like the extreme cold, and the highest will be 60 degrees Celsius above zero. Living things awakening includes humans and animals. You did not survive the awakening process." Yin Shan looked at his father and said word by word.
Guan Yunhua looked at his daughter in shock. Recalling that his daughter had needed funds since she woke up last time, and also predicting Yin Zhiwen's condition, something came to mind, so he said, "Who... are you?"
Yin Shan smiled. His mother was obviously thinking of something, so Yin Shan replied, "Guan Yunhua, my mother was a member of the provincial shooting team when she was young and even won the national championship. Later, my father fell in love with you and pursued you relentlessly, so you gave up your sports career for love. Five years ago, my father was hospitalized for a cerebral infarction. Because he had underlying diseases, he missed the best time for treatment, so his right side is not flexible. During the years when you and my father were married, you even signed a critical illness notice for my father." Yin Shan paused here, looked at Yin Zhiwen, and said, "Yin Zhiwen, my father calls me every year on my mother's birthday to ask me what gift I'm preparing and ask me to find out what she wants. For this, I get a 1,000 yuan reward every time."
Yin Zhiwen smiled. Every year when he called his daughter to ask what his wife-in-law liked, she would always trick him. This was something only the two of them knew about. Guan Yunhua had never known about it. She just thought that she was observant and could always find out what she wanted.
Guan Yunhua listened to his daughter's words and glared at Yin Zhiwen: "Well, I was wondering how you could buy things so well. It turns out that you bought all this information from my daughter!"
Seeing his parents joking with each other, Yin Shan knew that they believed he was really Yin Shan, so he continued, "In my previous life, I mistakenly trusted a scumbag. Dad failed because his supernatural power awakening, and Mom also died to protect me. So I know what will happen next because I have lived a long time."
Guan Yunhua saw his daughter's sad face and knew that her life must have been very difficult during those years, so he hugged her and comforted her: "Don't be afraid, Shanshan, mom and dad are here."
Ten years of regret finally erupted at this moment. Yin Shan hugged her mother tightly, sobbing uncontrollably, as if she wanted to weep out all the grievances she had endured over the years. Yin Zhiwen was silent. After Yin Shan recovered, Yin Zhiwen spoke, "So you didn't cause any trouble. You were just afraid we wouldn't believe you, so you went out to stockpile supplies. But I don't understand why you asked us to borrow money to complete this. Obviously, our house can be sold, and we can easily raise 10 million to buy supplies."
Yin Shan looked at his father and explained, "After I woke up, I first discovered your illness. I remember that at this time in my previous life, you fell ill at work. Although you were saved, your health deteriorated. So I think my rebirth has changed some things, but the general trend is correct. I've been paying attention to the online comments these days, and they're the same as in my previous life. And when I called Mom yesterday and she said she wanted to stock up on supplies, I knew you must have heard some news in your previous life, so you made some preparations."
Yin Zhiwen said, "Indeed, I received news that there will be natural disasters in the next two years. I originally thought it would only last two years and would not have a significant impact. Now it seems that the official news is not accurate, or rather, they will not reveal too much to us."
Yin Shan nodded and told his father, "The reason I borrowed money to do this is because I can guess who you and Mom will borrow it from, and these people are my enemies."
Yin Zhiwen was surprised, and then used his eyes to stop Guan Yunhua who was about to ask questions, and then he said, "It's good that you know what's going on. Then our family will become deadbeats. We now have more than 10 million yuan in our hands, enough to buy a lot of supplies, but how to store it is a problem. The food will moldy. According to what you said, there will be problems with water and electricity later, and the meat will go bad."
Yin Shan smiled slightly and took out his trump card. Yin Shan reached out to the coffee table in front of him and put it into the space.
Yin Zhiwen: Am I dazzled?
Guan Yunhua: Is it haunted? ?
Hanhan: Woof? ?
Qixi: Meow? ?
Yin Shan looked at his parents, then looked at his two pet sons, smiled slightly, waved his hand, and the coffee table returned to its original place.
Yin Shan explained, "I bound a space. It might sound shocking, but it's true. And the space is static. Whatever you put in there will be the same as what you take out."
Yin Zhiwen: I definitely haven’t woken up yet…
Guan Yunhua: My daughter has super powers!
Hanhan: Woof woof???
Qixi: Meow meow???
Yin Shan continued to explain, "This space can be upgraded, but the only methods I'm sure of are absorbing something called the Five-Colored Stone and completing tasks posted by the space. Previously, at the hospital, the space gave me a task to call a doctor, and the reward was three Marrow Cleansing Pills. As for their efficacy, I think you know best, Dad."
Yin Zhiwen said, "More than understanding, I haven't dared to go out lately, afraid of being taken away for an autopsy. He was clearly a cripple, and suddenly he's healed. Furthermore, I had a physical examination at the hospital, and they said I had no illness, and neither did your mother. You know, we both had some underlying health conditions. Shanshan, what are you going to do next?"
