Chapter 652: Entrusting an Orphan
"Even if the debris flow was widespread, it should have hit something and stopped, or even collapsed, right? Where on earth is this endless drift going? Where in China could such a massive debris flow come from?"
Jun Jia nodded immediately. Jing Shu was absolutely right. Many people in the team had been wondering these days. Even if the speed had been slow for so many days, it should have reached the end, right?
According to geography and common sense, such unscientific things should not happen.
Jing Shu continued, "Simply put, there's a time difference between Wucheng and every other province. The Northwest is so vast that even the easternmost and westernmost parts of our province have a time difference of an hour."
Jun Jia's eyes lit up. "You mean, we rely on daybreak and nightfall to determine where we've drifted to?"
Jing Shu nodded. "That's about right. Anyway, you see, I've been recording it since the day I first started floating, and it's been over ten days now, but the time difference in the record isn't that much. So far, it's only been half an hour late at most."
“This means we haven’t drifted very far, or it’s possible we’ve been going in circles most of the time these days.
If it gets dark early, it means we are heading towards New Lan Province. If it gets dark late, it means we are heading towards a city on the other side of the province.
As for which city it drifted to, it’s not certain. It may have left Wucheng, but it definitely didn’t leave the province.”
Jingshu remembered clearly that Xinlan City was one hour ahead of Wucheng. Although there were time differences in different places, everyone used the imperial capital time.
For example, it gets dark in the imperial capital as soon as it rains in winter, while it doesn't get dark until 7 or 8 o'clock in Wucheng. As for the cities closer to the border, it gets dark until 8 or 9 o'clock, and even until 11 or 12 o'clock in the evening in summer.
This is something many people in the south can't understand. Similarly, in China, it gets dark at six o'clock, but it's not dark at twelve o'clock in the evening for you? But all this is in the past. After the end of the world, everything is in chaos, the four seasons are messed up, and there is no daylight anymore.
But the data Jingshu has observed for so many days is feasible.
In addition, Jingshu will continue to observe. If there is a cycle time difference, then it is very likely that they are in a big vortex at this moment, and the building is spinning in circles. However, this requires observation for a while.
At least I know where I am drifting now, I know the general direction, and even how far I have drifted.
"Okay, that's great! I didn't expect that there is such a talent like you among us. It's amazing that you can think of it!" Jun Jia sighed.
Jing Shu smiled faintly: "It's just that the weather is completely chaotic in the end times, so no one cares about this. The simpler things are, the more likely people are to ignore them. Besides, others may be pinning their hopes on waiting for rescue. Besides, if you want to be more detailed, I don't understand the exact geographical relationship based on this dimension."
So other people won’t think so much.
Only Jingshu is different. She has died once and has experienced so much in the apocalypse. She knows deeply that relying on others is never as good as relying on oneself. Therefore, Jingshu has been thinking of ways from the beginning. Although there have been some bizarre ones, such as controlling the building, etc., she has been saving herself in the end.
"Okay, okay, okay! I'll go back and gather people who have knowledge about this to make the final decision. Jing, you've really done a great job." Jun Jia seemed to see hope.
Jin Baba opened his mouth but said nothing in the end. He just muttered softly that he had learned it in junior high school... Unfortunately, it was the end of the world when he finished learning it, and now he is just taking online classes.
The town government has no plans to reopen the college entrance examination, and the content of online courses has also been changed. There are no heavy topics like before, but instead the talents most needed for current development are selected, and they are divided into many directions, such as liberal arts, science, practice, sociology, etc.
After finishing high school, you can directly apply for a temporary job in the town government.
"Oh, I haven't signed in to water the vegetables in Chinese class for so many days. They are going to wither and die. I will fail this semester." Jin Baba thought as he put his cell phone, which had long been out of battery, in his trouser pocket.
The Chinese language course is a separate APP. When you open it, it is just like a certain farm software, teaching you how to grow different fruits and vegetables, how to control temperature and humidity, and how to catch insects.
According to the normal trajectory, Jin Baba should be a carefree college student now. What a pity.
Jin Baba stamped his feet like a child, listening boredly to his uncle and Jingshu talking about the action plan and many confidential events. His uncle really valued Jingshu.
Suddenly, Jin Baba looked up because he heard Jun Jia say:
"Jing, I have a request... I might be very busy and unable to take care of myself.
So please help take care of Jin Baba. If anything unfortunate happens to me, please at least save his life. My sister and brother-in-law only have this one child..."
Is this entrusting an orphan to someone else?
Not to mention Jin Baba, even Jingshu was surprised. This was unnecessary. However, considering Junjia's agitated expression at the moment, Jingshu nodded and agreed:
"Uncle Jin usually takes good care of our family. Don't worry, I will take care of Jin Baba."
This was an agreement, and Jun Jia finally put his last bit of worry aside. Jingshu was reliable. She was able to come back alive from the life-threatening situation in the United States. Others didn't know it, but he knew it. Moreover, from the news brought back by Yang Yang, he didn't believe that Jingshu didn't have some special abilities.
More importantly, Jun Jia heard Lingyi express his fear of Jingshu, and with so many corpses inexplicably appearing in the hall this time, he knew that Jingshu was no ordinary person.
Everyone here is dead, Jingshu must have her life-saving trump card. He can trust Jingshu by handing the child over to her because of her character and personality.
"Uncle..." Jin Baba felt a little uncomfortable. Did his uncle mean something would happen? "Uncle, I don't care. As long as I'm alive, you have to live too. If anything happens to you, I won't live either."
"What nonsense are you talking about, kid? We all have to survive in this apocalypse!"
Jin Baba nodded, then turned to Jing Shu and said, "Here, you will be responsible for the food of my two pigs until they are rescued. When they give birth, I will give you one."
The two pigs were getting increasingly depressed these days, and it seemed they had no idea when they would be rescued. Jin Baba finally gave in.
Although he could use his connections to get some pig feed quietly, it was not a bright spot.
"I want two." Jingshu said, looking up at the sky.
"You, don't go too far." Jin Baba was anxious. He heard that Jinhua sows only give birth to a few piglets at a time...
"So... three?"
"Two is just two, huh. I'll leave the pigs in your care from now on." Jin Baba compromised with grievance. There was no other way. When you are under someone's roof, you have to bow your head. Now he has to rely on Jingshu's insect cakes.
"Yes, I will take care of them." Jingshu glanced at Jin Baba and decided to save Jin Baba's life if necessary. She said that Jin Tianci's family would still have an amazing influence in Wucheng in the future.
Jin Baba stomped his feet and ran away angrily.
