Chapter 172 The Third Day of Doomsday
Tan Zhaozhao saw Song Qianyi with her hands handcuffed downstairs in the community.
She did not rush forward, but waited until the police took Song Qianyi out of sight before continuing to walk inside.
After arriving home, he first cooked shredded chicken breast for Xingxing, then opened a can of milk for her. Then he sat back on the sofa and opened his tablet to check the surveillance video at his door.
In the video, the arrest was actually very quick.
When Song Qianyi walked out of the elevator and opened the door while looking at her phone, the plainclothes officers who were ambushing in the corridor rushed over with guns and held her down.
Song Qianyi tried to resist, and even from the video, she was quite skilled and strong. Even the police officer who was responsible for arresting her was hit several times. But soon when they took out their identification cards, Song Qianyi stopped in shock and only kept making excuses verbally and asking what crime she had committed.
"What crime?"
In the interrogation room, the police officer in charge of the interrogation said coldly: "I thought you knew it very well. After all, you have robbed many warehouses in succession, and the losses caused are as high as millions. Now the victims are still crying in our police station. How about arranging a meeting for you?"
Song Qianyi's pupils shrank slightly. After a brief silence, she still spoke stubbornly: "Did you recognize the wrong person? I don't know what you are talking about."
The police were not surprised by her stubbornness.
Seeing her so calm and guilt-free, the people watching the surveillance camera outside the interrogation room couldn't help but frown.
"Show her the satellite surveillance, and then ask her where all that stuff is hidden."
Following the order from their superiors, the police officer in charge of the interrogation played Song Qianyi the satellite surveillance footage of every time she hid in an uninhabited place to hide supplies.
"Do you think you hid well?" The interrogating police officer looked at Song Qianyi, whose face was pale, and said coldly, "Tell me the truth now. Where did you hide all these things? Confess and you will be treated leniently. If you resist, you will be treated severely. Once you investigate the theft of millions of dollars..."
"…I said."
Song Qianyi closed her eyes and was very decisive.
After all, the police had put the evidence in front of her. No matter how stupid she was, she couldn't go against the state apparatus.
She just regretted that she had underestimated the technology and detective methods of this era. She thought that after her rebirth and with the golden finger, she could underestimate the behemoth in her previous life that almost collapsed and disintegrated in the natural disaster.
Unfortunately, she didn't have the chance to do it again.
Song Qianyi could only comfort herself in her heart that it was good that the country knew about it, so that fewer people would die. Maybe if the country was prepared, all natural disasters could be safely overcome?
But she was still somewhat unwilling in her heart.
It’s not that I don’t yearn for peace.
But he is unwilling to become a butterfly flapping its wings and is afraid that the future will be disrupted.
If the future changes, can I still survive?
If those known things were to be changed from the beginning, those memories of mine would become useless, and even...the Golden Finger Space would be discovered now, and it might be taken away and disappear, or even requisitioned by the country.
What is the meaning of my rebirth?
Is it dying in the unknown?
Or will it become an auxiliary tool for the survival of the country and others?
When Song Qianyi thought of the chaotic and unclear future, her body couldn't help but tremble slightly.
But she had to say it, she had to tell it all.
Because she is facing not only an interrogator, but also bigwigs outside the surveillance cameras who are always watching her every little movement and micro-expression.
It was true that she had experienced a long doomsday, but that didn't mean she had enough mental strength to resist this kind of high-pressure interrogation.
So she was like being stripped naked and standing in front of a scanning machine, with no secrets left on her body from inside to outside.
In the end, even the grudges between her own past life, her ex-boyfriend and the mistress were explained clearly.
Naturally, the police also obtained all the information related to the doomsday disaster from her.
Nine o'clock in the evening.
Tan Zhaozhao received a message from the police whose contact information was added yesterday.
He confirmed to Tan Zhaozhao the reality of the impending doomsday, and after integrating the information Song Qianyi had given him, he sent a copy to Tan Zhaozhao and Li Shan, and reminded them to remember to receive the warning and evacuation information issued by the country in a timely manner.
Tan Zhaozhao was on a video call on his cell phone, with a tablet in front of him and a pen and notebook at hand.
"According to Song Qianyi's memories from her previous life, we guessed correctly that this rainstorm kicked off the end of the world. Moreover, this rainstorm will last for 23 days and the entire city will be submerged."
Li Shan had just finished a shower and had a towel on her head. She said without hesitation, "It's already the second day, and the city's drainage system is still functioning. We'll try to make all preparations before the drainage system completely fails."
Tan Zhaozhao nodded and said to her, "Luckily, due to the location, the occupancy rate of our community is very low, so no one lives downstairs. I have rented it for you. You can move in tomorrow, but you still have to find a way to deal with the supplies in the martial arts hall."
Li Shan wiped her hair casually and said, "Okay, I'll tell my parents later."
Tan Zhaozhao continued, "According to the information provided by Song Qianyi, after the rainstorm, we will face high temperatures and food shortages."
"Along with the high temperatures, there is also urban garbage and diseases that can be seen everywhere. They are soaked and rotted by heavy rains and spread to every corner. As the temperature rises, the decay of corpses and garbage will accelerate, and our chances of getting infected will increase infinitely. Once we need to go out to find supplies, we will basically be infected by germs."
"During that period, the highest surface temperature will rise to around 80°. After the high temperature, we will also face earthquakes, wind disasters, snowstorms, and extreme cold..."
She paused, and then spoke softly, "Song Qianyi died in the snowstorm, so she couldn't tell us what she would face after the snowstorm. At that time, it would be difficult for her to meet other living humans in the area where she lived."
"But now the country is aware of these impending disasters, so it will definitely respond. We don't need to worry too much about the future that has not yet arrived. What we need to do now is to prepare for known disasters."
Li Shan didn't know when she had stopped drying her hair. As she listened to Tan Zhaozhao's words, water slowly dripped down from the ends of her hair, but she was unaware of it. She frowned and thought seriously. After a moment, she said to Tan Zhaozhao, "So, we have officially entered the doomsday era of frequent natural disasters, right?"
Tan Zhaozhao nodded, "Yeah."
"Then let's have hotpot together tomorrow." Li Shan raised her eyes and looked at Tan Zhaozhao on the screen, and said with a carefree smile: "Let's regard it as a memorial for the departure of the peaceful era."
Tan Zhaozhao was silent for a moment, then nodded again, "Okay, let's eat hotpot tomorrow."

The seemingly endless sound of rain disturbed the human being's peace. Xingxing lay in the human's warm neck, tilted her head to look at her brows which were still furrowed even after she fell asleep, and moved closer to rub the human's cheek and earlobes silently with her head.
As a cat that is not even a month old, Xingxing cannot provide any help to its human mother. It can only quietly accompany her and serve as a small pendant to relieve her stress.
Because of this, Xingxing began to understand Qiuqiu a little.
The ball in the doomsday, the ball in every world.
Every time he faces a crisis, Qiuqiu becomes anxious and panicked but helpless.
The stars now are like the balls of the past.
It also wants to help and wants to give human mothers more warnings, but the fact is that it only adds to the burden of human survival.
When the end of the world comes, I will become a burden to my human mother.
The stars had realized this in advance.
But the human mother made many, many preparations, but she did not throw this future burden out of the house to fend for itself.
For some people, raising a kitten is an easy and simple thing because a kitten is just a pet that meows and needs to eat a few bites of cat food.
But when Tan Zhaozhao was preparing for doomsday, he spent at least tens of thousands of RMB on the stars.
Cat food, cat litter, cat snacks, anthelmintics, hair removal cream, and various spare pet medicines...
She has prepared a lot, and in her doomsday plan, the stars will work with her to survive.
In the dark night, the kitten stepped on the soft pillow and slowly climbed to the top of the human's head. Then, it gently touched the human's warm forehead with its equally soft paw pads, curled up its little self, and fell asleep obediently beside the human's ear, covering up the sound of the rushing wind and rain outside the window with its fine and comfortable snoring.
-
The third day of the apocalypse.
Li Shan moved.
Xingxing was held in the arms of her human mother and went to visit Li Shan's new home.
Amid the greetings of humans, the stars were gently placed on the ground.
Then it met its cat mother and brothers and sisters in this body.
When they saw them, Xingxing lay still at the feet of her human mother.
But the three cats were already walking towards it.
"Meow!"
The big orange cat stared at it, seemingly unable to recognize that the kitten was its own child.
Xingxing stepped back because the big cat was too close. The oppressive feeling from being above her was very strong, and she felt threatened that the cat could kill her with just one claw.
So its fur stood up instinctively, and its ears were flattened down like airplane ears, staring at the fat orange cat with the same vigilance.
The next second, a hand picked up the tense Xingxing.
The star fluttered a little, and was placed steadily in a familiar and warm embrace.
"Xingxing, be good. We are not afraid of it. Mommy will protect you." Tan Zhaozhao rubbed the kitten's head soothingly, then stretched out her hand to completely cover the kitten in her arms, and also blocked the sight of Daju.
Just after this meeting, Tan Zhaozhao completely gave up the idea of temporarily leaving Xingxing at her best friend's house in the future.
She has no problem with cats.
But she protects her cub.
When she thought about the scene in the future when she was away from home and her baby was left at her best friend's house, being bullied by both big and small cats and having to hide in the corner and shiver, Tan Zhaozhao felt as if her heart was being pricked by wheat needles.
Li Shan also picked up Daju and patted his thick buttocks in front of Xingxing, pretending to scold him: "Don't be mean to Xingxing, he's your own cub, don't you know? If you bully Xingxing again next time, I'll cut off your food supply!"
Tan Zhaozhao smiled and asked her, "Have you prepared cat litter and cat food? If not, you have to prepare them quickly. Let me tell you in advance. If your cat runs out of food in the future, I won't share Xingxing's food with him."
It was just a joke, but unexpectedly it made Li Shan's expression suddenly dim.
She sighed, hugged the cat, made a bitter face, and said in a muffled voice: "Zhao Zhao, my parents asked me to throw the cat away."
