Chapter 168 Shen Que, is there anything else that is ignored?
"Uncle Liang, is there any official gossip recently?"
A few days after putting the things in the hospital, Meng Ci wanted to find out from the side what the official opinion was on the matter.
Or, what if that group of people takes it for themselves?
Meng Ci was quite annoyed at this time.
I was in a hurry to run away and didn’t have time to check whether those people were soldiers. What if they were other bad guys?
Liang Xiu thought about it carefully, then shook his head and said, "No."
"I just heard that the base at the foot of the mountain is almost built, and any residents who want to live there can go."
Meng Ci nodded.
These people live in the mountains and have to walk a long way back and forth every day to work.
When they learned that the resettlement site at the foot of the mountain was habitable and the cost was the same, they all expressed their willingness to move down.
Meng Ci doesn’t want to go to the base below for the time being. It would be best if everyone moved down there so that they could live more comfortably here.
After dinner, Liang Xiu returned to his bedroom to rest.
Meng Ci and Shen Que went to the vegetable-growing room to fiddle with the flower pots.
The watermelon vines are climbing freely on the ground, and thumb-sized watermelons have already grown on them. I believe they will be ready to eat soon.
Meng Ci was holding a shovel in his hand, turning over a flower pot in front of him, with a worried look on his face.
For some reason, Meng Ci felt very uneasy these two days, as if he had overlooked something important.
“Shen Que, do you remember what happened recently?”
Meng Ci sat cross-legged on the ground, supporting his face with one hand. The more he thought about it, the more he felt that there must be something he had overlooked.
Although Meng Ci finished reading the novel, he only remembered the main plot.
Moreover, the author only briefly mentioned some minor natural disasters in the book.
Just like the locusts attacking the vegetables that everyone had worked so hard to grow, the author only wrote a few sentences.
So Meng Ci touched his abnormally beating heart and felt that there must be something important that he had overlooked.
When Shen Que heard this, he stopped picking eggplants and stroked his chin, thinking seriously.
After a while, Shen Que seemed to have thought of something.
“Indeed!”
Suddenly, Shen Que quickly stood up from the ground, then walked out quickly to pick up his mobile phone. After confirming the date on it, he felt relieved.
Meng Ci followed Shen Que closely, and when he saw his nervous expression disappear, his own tense expression also disappeared.
"Did you remember something we overlooked?" Meng Ci asked.
Shen Que nodded and said, “That’s right.”
“It was an earthquake.”
On December 5th, the temperature outside rose to sixty degrees. While people were active at night and staying indoors during the day, an earthquake suddenly struck during the day.
In previous lives, the houses everyone lived in had been soaked by floods and the foundations had long been unstable.
Although there was an official base, there were few new houses built at that time, and only a small number of humans lived there.
So the sudden earthquake caused many people to lose their lives.
However, there is no problem with the official base because it is a newly built building.
Meng Ci was also shocked when he heard this.
They live in the mountains. If they hadn't expected this, when the earthquake hit, they would have nowhere to run.
However, the two were in the living room at the moment, and they were afraid that Liang Xiu would hear their conversation and notice something was wrong.
So Meng Ci pulled Shen Que into the bedroom, locked the room, and then Meng Ci dragged Shen Que into the space.
"Because I lived in an official base in my previous life, and the earthquake only happened once, so I don't remember it very clearly."
At this point, Shen Que suddenly remembered that this matter had not been mentioned in the previous letter to the official.
Meng Ci quickly calmed down and began to recall the plot of the novel.
After thinking for a long time, Meng Ci finally remembered the earthquake and only mentioned it briefly in the book.
This is also because the perspective of the novel is mainly centered on the protagonist, and Si Chen and his friends live in the base, and the earthquake did not cause much damage to them, so not much is written about them.
The novel then describes a few things about disaster relief and post-disaster reconstruction, but does not say whether Xishanye was affected.
"Don't worry, we will sort out what we know."
"After all, it's only the 1st, and there are still four days before the earthquake."
Meng Ci pulled Shen Que to sit down and handed a bottle of mineral water on the table to Shen Que.
Shen Que opened the bottle cap and took a sip, then nodded and said, “Yes, there’s still time.”
After all the experiences in his previous life, Shen Que was able to remain calm when encountering things, but he couldn't control himself when it came to Meng Ci's things.
After all, if he didn't remember it, what if Meng Ci really got into trouble because of the earthquake, and what if Meng Ci disappeared at that time!
In the previous life, the official base was initially built in the city center, so Shen Que was not clear about the situation in Xishanye, and the situation in Xishanye was not written in the novel.
It is understandable that the two people did not remember the earthquake.
Therefore, the two of them unanimously decided to find an excuse to go out on the evening of the 4th.
It is best to find an open space with no towering dangerous objects around.
The two opened the map, studied it carefully, and finally decided to go to the exchange that had been built by the government.
There is a park there, and the surrounding shopping malls are quite far away, and some of them have collapsed.
Then the two began to consider whether to tell the authorities about the impending earthquake.
Final decision, not to tell.
Mainly because time is too tight.
Moreover, surveillance cameras are installed at the points and item redemption points, as well as around the offices.
They had no way to send the letter, and if it was discovered, they would only be put in a passive position.
What's more, this earthquake was only briefly mentioned in Shen Que's memory and in the novel, so the situation might not have been that serious.
There has been no earthquake in M City over the years. At most, M City could feel a little tremor due to an earthquake in the neighboring province.
Moreover, the government has built so many new houses, and people have moved into the bases below, so I don’t think many people will be affected.
Therefore, the two of them unanimously decided not to say anything.
After making the decision, Meng Ci and Shen Que left the space.
Then just wait for number four to arrive.
The two of them would also think back from time to time whether there were any other disasters that they had overlooked.
On the evening of the 2nd, Liang Xiu went out to work after dinner.
And Shen Que took Qiezi up to the living room on the first floor and started training.
In fact, at the beginning, Shen Que trained with Qiezi in the basement, but because the place was too small, he couldn't display his skills.
We also know that the temperature will rise to over 60 degrees in the future. Eggplant is covered with hair, so we should let it gradually adapt to the high temperature to avoid fainting from the heat when going out.
Therefore, the training place was placed on the first floor.
After moving all the furniture on the first floor and installing the circle counter, I started training Eggplant.
The living room of the villa is more than twice as large as the one on the 17th floor, so the weight allowed it to slowly increase from 50 laps to 70 laps at a time.
