"Do you still remember the apocalyptic natural disaster nightmare I told you about before the end of the world?" Si Nan leaned on the pillow and asked everyone.
"I remember. Of course I remember." Liu Dalin said, "When you came back, you specifically told us to buy more food and water to store at home. Your aunt refused to believe you and even said you watched too many science fiction movies and TV shows."
Mao Pingzhen recalled that three years ago, not only did she not believe Si Nan, but she also called her a psychopath behind her back. Her face felt hot and she glared at Liu Dalin in embarrassment.
This Old Liu! He is bringing up all sorts of issues. It's all in the past, but he's still bringing it up in front of the children. Is he deliberately trying to embarrass her?
Sheng Youqing, Si Yufang, Cheng Wei and others all said they remembered this incident.
Si Nan smiled and said, "I was seriously injured while trying to save Cheng Wei. I stayed in the hospital for several months. During that time, I kept having dreams about natural disasters. I didn't believe it myself at first, until one day, I suddenly had a space that only existed in novels. Then I began to believe in my dreams."
Everyone looked shocked, disbelieving, and confused.
The older generation didn't understand what space was, so the younger generation explained: "Space is a setting in novels, movies, and TV. It is a different dimension, equivalent to a portable warehouse where you can store all kinds of things. Only the owner of the space can see it, and no one else can see it. Only the owner of the space can take things in and out of the space at any time."
The older generation still didn't quite understand, so Si Nan directly demonstrated, "Look, I don't have anything in my hands right now, right? But I can use my mind to control the space and take away the items I want to take, or put the things I want to put in there."
She spread out her hands and controlled the space with her mind, and a brand new summer dress appeared out of thin air in her hands. Before everyone could exclaim in surprise, she moved out larger wardrobes, tables, chairs, benches and other items, filling up the narrow ward.
When everyone felt that they were squeezed to the point of having difficulty breathing, she moved all the things back into the space.
There was deathly silence in the ward.
Something appeared out of nowhere before their eyes and then disappeared out of nowhere. If they hadn't seen it with their own eyes, everyone would have thought they were crazy.
For a moment, everyone had different expressions.
Cheng Wei's eyes lit up: "I said that I often smell the delicious food your family makes. It turns out you have a space! You must have stored a lot of delicious food in the space before the end of the world, right?"
"I stockpiled a little, not much. Half of it was spent on food and drink." Sinan did not deny it. "You also know how poor I was in the beginning. I earned a little money, and I used it to support my uncle and aunt, except for the house and the monthly living expenses. The money you gave me and the money your brother gave me, in addition to buying food and water, the most important thing is to buy tools, weapons, daily necessities, etc. to survive various natural disasters."
This statement is half true and half false, and it sounds irrefutable.
If ordinary people knew that the end of the world was coming in advance and had space in their hands, they would definitely buy a lot of food and store it in the space. They would also buy a lot of survival equipment to protect themselves.
Si Nan told everyone that she had a space secret because of what happened at the Changji base. She took out so many protective suits in front of that group of special forces soldiers, and the secret of her space secret would be exposed sooner or later.
She didn't want her relatives and friends to hear from other people that she had space, which would cause suspicion and estrangement between them.
She also didn't want her relatives and friends to think that she had a lot of supplies and always wanted her to use the supplies to support them, so she specifically emphasized that she didn't buy much food and most of the money was spent on survival equipment.
She didn't care what her relatives and friends in the ward thought, and said seriously, "I kept it a secret from you before because in my dream, I dreamed that my relatives betrayed me and told a man that I had a space, which led to that man catching me and forcing me to hand over the space. I said that my space could only be used by myself and could not be transferred to others, but he didn't believe me and tore me into pieces. It was a horrible sight, so I kept it a secret from you."
"Anan is right." Cheng Suming sat beside her and continued, "Like Anan, I also dreamed of various natural disasters, so we got married suddenly. The doomsday warning post circulating on the Internet was actually posted by Anan. At first, Anan and I just used each other, but later we gradually got along with each other, fell in love with each other, and became real husband and wife. I say this with no other meaning, just to remind you that the dreams we have will never be wrong. The person who betrayed Sinan in my dream is among us!"
"Today, Anan told you about the space because he hopes to be honest with everyone and survive the upcoming natural disasters with everyone! I tell you the truth, the capital is secretly building an ark in the Himalayas, and I have enough places to board the ark. The only people I care about are Anan and Weiwei. If anyone betrays Anan again and leaks what my husband and I said to you today, I'm sorry, but I will give the ark place in my hand to someone else. At the same time, I will catch the person who betrayed Anan and kill him without hesitation to eliminate the trouble forever!"
What Si Nan and the other man said contained so much information that it shocked everyone and they were unable to react.
However, everyone understood that the two were not joking. Sister Wang and her husband, and Mao Pingzhen and her daughter, who were involved, swore repeatedly that if they told anyone what happened today, they would definitely die a horrible death and would be at the mercy of Cheng Suming.
After everyone in the ward left, Si Nan closed his eyes tiredly, then suddenly remembered something and sat up: "Where's Gao Moli?"
"We didn't find Gao Moli." Cheng Suming did not hide the truth from her: "The leader of Changji Base and other leading groups don't know where Gao Moli is hiding. Yan Hongyi and his team stayed there for two days and searched everywhere, but still couldn't find her. I'm afraid she's in danger."
Sinan lowered his eyes, feeling heavy in his heart.
God knows how happy she was when she learned that Gao Moli was still alive.
But after seeing Gao Moli's video of feeling hopeless, she knew without a doubt what Gao Moli had been through in the past two years.
Considering the crazy temper of the man who released the poison gas, I'm afraid Gao Moli has little hope of survival.
Although he really wanted to go back and look for Gao Moli again, Si Nan knew that she was nowhere to be found.
Not to mention that Cheng Suming used his connections in the capital to rescue her at Changji Base, which had already angered the leadership team of Changji Base. Just based on Gao Moli's awkward personality, even if she were still alive, she probably wouldn't want her and Sheng Youqing to see her in such a miserable state.
Si Nan sighed, feeling physically and mentally tired, closed his eyes and continued to sleep.
Three days later, Si Nan recovered well and was discharged from the hospital and returned home.
The Dabai couple, the four-eyed black dog, and Sheng's mother were all waiting for her at the gate of the yard.
Seeing her appear, Dabai and Xiaohei, one white and one black shadow, rushed towards her quickly.
Dabai spread its wings wide, with a ferocious look, and used its beak to bite Si Nan's thick cotton pants on her thigh again and again, making a loud cry, as if asking her where she had been these days and whether she didn't want the goose anymore!
Xiao Hei, no, now Da Hei has grown up, has been wagging its tail wildly around Si Nan. Its tail has turned into a fan and its shadow cannot be seen. It has been whimpering all the time, looking like a weird whimpering cat that really misses its owner.
Si Nan was also very happy to see them. He stretched out his hands and touched Dabai and Dahei's heads, one on the left and one on the right: "I'm back. Did you listen to Grandma Sheng at home?"
During the time she was away, Sheng's mother had been helping to take care of Dabai and the others, as well as the fruits, vegetables and Chinese medicinal herbs in her two greenhouses.
Mother Sheng said, "The three furry children are very obedient. Dahei even chased away several thieves who wanted to break into your yard and steal your things when you two were not at home."
She really treats these furry children as her own. When mentioning Dahei, Mother Sheng is extremely proud.
Si Nan looked at the dog who immediately changed from whimpering to squinting his eyes and looking particularly happy when she touched his head. Si Nan praised him generously: "Dahei is awesome!"
Dahei barked as if he understood what she said. He took the small cloth bag containing medicine from her hand and led her into the yard.
The three of them entered the house, and Sheng's mother told Si Nan that her truck was intercepted, and except for a few boxes of rare strawberries and vegetables that were taken away by the robbers, the other fruits and vegetables were not damaged. The people from the logistics department took back the truck and exchanged them for nearly 7,000 points.
Si Nan said he understood and would allocate the salary points that should be given to Sheng's mother and others to their accounts in a moment.
"Why are you unhappy?" After Sheng's mother left, Cheng Suming saw that Si Nan was feeling depressed, so he brought a basin of hot water, took off her shoes and washed her feet, then looked up and asked her.
This was not the first time that Cheng Suming washed Si Nan's feet. Since the beginning of winter, they did not bathe as frequently as in the summer. The main reason was that the weather was too cold. Every time they took a bath, it felt like a test of their lives.
They usually wash their feet once every three to five days, within the range they can tolerate. The rest of the time they soak their feet in hot water to make themselves warm and comfortable. If Cheng Suming is free, he will wash Si Nan's feet.
Si Nan was very embarrassed at first. Washing feet was something her mother had only done for her when she was very young. After she grew up, no one had washed her feet anymore, so she was a little uncomfortable with it.
At that time, Cheng Suming said, "We are husband and wife, why are you being so polite to me? I will do what I can for you and love you a little more, so that you won't feel bitter in this difficult doomsday environment. In the future, when you encounter danger and difficulties, as long as you think of me, your heart will be warm and you will be willing to leave me, then you won't be depressed and do stupid things again."
At that time, Si Nan was so moved by his words that she couldn't stop crying. How lucky she was to meet such a person who cared about her so much!
From then on, whenever she was free, she would wash Cheng Suming's feet.
During the days Si Nan was in Changji, her hands and feet were all frozen and got frostbite. Her feet were swollen, painful and itchy. Many times she couldn't help scratching them. The more she scratched, the more itchy it became. She scratched her hands and feet until the skin was torn and it was painful and bloody. Applying frostbite ointment was of no use.
Cheng Suming felt very distressed. Si Nan was a person who never got frostbite, but this time he was frozen too severely and got frostbite. He was afraid that the frostbite would recur every winter and would continue to occur.
The pain and itchiness were so uncomfortable that he could only take a heat bag and let Si Nan cover her hands in the bag to make her hands more comfortable. He also soaked her feet in hot water, which would also make her feel much better.
Feeling the force of Cheng Suming's slender fingers gently washing his feet, and the hot water in the footbath bucket made of Chinese herbs that help heal wounds and promote sleep, Si Nan squinted his eyes comfortably: "I exposed my space in front of those special forces. They will definitely report it to the Capital Base. The leadership of the Changji Base will probably also know that I have a space. I wonder if the Capital and Shishan Bases will capture me for experiments, or ask me to hand over supplies and space, and whether we still need to stay here."
"Don't worry, even if the leadership of the capital and the Shishan base knows that you have a space, as long as you don't admit it, they can't do anything to you. They can't really arrest you for dissection and experiments just for a virtual space in a novel or movie. They are already overwhelmed by dealing with natural disasters, man-made disasters, and all kinds of problems in the base. They won't spend so much energy on something like this. At most, they will take us to question us."
Cheng Suming sat on a bench at the end of Si Nan, took a clean and soft towel, gently wiped the water off her feet, and applied frostbite cream on her feet, "Don't worry too much, if you really have to leave here, I will leave with you."
What Cheng Suming said was correct. The first thing that group of special forces did when they returned to the capital to report was to inform their superiors that they saw Si Nan take out a protective suit out of thin air and suspected that she had space.
The superiors reported this matter layer by layer and originally planned to hold a large-scale meeting to discuss the authenticity of the matter and what to do next.
Unexpectedly, the confidant of the person on whom Cheng Suming performed the operation heard the news and immediately reported it to the big shot who had already woken up, was in good mental state, and was recuperating in the VIP ward.
The big shot said casually: "Nonsense is not worth alarming so many people. Let those who have nothing to do do something else."
The people below naturally understood the meaning of this sentence, and a storm that was about to rise was suppressed.
The Shishan base naturally also received news of the incident, but did not investigate it. However, Yan Hongyi was sent to find Cheng Suming and Si Nan and invited them to the military office in the Shishan Town Government Building, where he asked them some official questions.
"We at Shishan Military have been keeping a close eye on your unusual behavior. Mr. Cheng, about half a year ago, you and your wife warned the neighbors that the severe cold might come earlier than the time predicted in the doomsday warning post. Is that true?"
Cheng Suming said expressionlessly: "We have seen the doomsday warning post. Combined with the previous natural disasters, they will happen in advance. We kindly told our relatives and friends about it. What's the problem with this?"
"No problem. Many people have read the doomsday warning post. There's nothing wrong with preparing in advance." Yan Hongyi gestured to Duan Peng, who was sitting next to him, without any surprise, to fill in the questions and answers in the notebook.
Yan Hongyi turned his head to Si Nan and said, "Ms. Si, during the rescue operation at Changji Base half a month ago, the special forces trapped with you in that square room saw you take out a lot of protective clothing out of thin air and gave them to wear. They suspected that you had space. I wonder if this is true?"
"The protective suits were brought by the special forces themselves, as were the full-face gas masks. How could I possibly have gotten those things?" Si Nan leaned on Cheng Su Ming's shoulder, looking weak and unable to take care of herself. "I'm just an ordinary woman. I've only seen those spaces in novels in science fiction movies. How could they exist in reality? They must have seen it wrong! As materialistic atheists and soldiers with an iron will, you wouldn't believe those unrealistic words, would you?"
The corner of Yan Hongyi's mouth twitched. When special forces soldiers were on missions, they would sometimes wear full-face gas masks, but they would not necessarily wear protective clothing.
So many eyes watched her take out dozens of protective suits, but she still refused to admit it and kept lying with her eyes open.
Not only were Yan Hongyi and his colleagues who were in charge of the questioning speechless, but even several leaders of all ranks who were standing in the monitoring room and watching what was going on in the office kept shaking their heads.
Yan Hongyi calmed down and asked the last question: "What hatred do you have with the leader surnamed Geng in Changji Base that made him send people to lurk in our Shishan Base for a year and take Miss Si away?"
"How should I know?" Si Nan sat up straight, with a puzzled look on his face. "I never had any contact with this man before the end of the world. Who knows what he was thinking? Maybe he saw me somewhere, took a glimpse of me, and fell in love with me at first sight. Seeing that I was married and had a good relationship with my husband, he wanted to take me away by force?"
Yan Hongyi: ...
Listen to what you say and see if you believe it!
"Let's stop here today. Thank you for your cooperation." Yan Hongyi waved to Si Nan and the others tiredly: "Let's go."
Si Nan and Cheng Su Ming looked at each other, and then they left the government building. Si Nan leaned against Cheng Su Ming's chest, who had deliberately opened his cotton coat to wrap her up in it. The two of them walked like conjoined twins. "Do you think we're done with today's events?"
"We have to get through it even if we can't. Yan Hongyi sent Yin Peng to tell me before, saying that the big shot in the capital whom I treated has settled the matter for us. Unless something unexpected happens, no one from the capital and the Shishan base will come to trouble us in the future. We just need to keep our secrets and not let anyone target us." Cheng Suming put a leather hat on her head that could cover her ears. It was made of leather on the outside and cashmere on the inside, and he wrapped her in it and walked carefully forward.
"My husband is really amazing! You not only performed the surgery that others dared not do, but also succeeded in doing it. You solved the biggest problem for us. My husband is awesome!"
After Si Nan sincerely praised Cheng Su Ming, he found that the two were not going home, so he asked curiously, "Where are we going?"
"Logistics Department Points Exchange Store." Cheng Suming lowered his head and gently patted the snow on her head. "Chinese New Year is in half a month. You want to exchange fresh meat for bacon? It happens that the points store has a variety of meats today. Let's go and take a look."
The points store was located in a square on the left side of the government building, and it took them less than ten minutes to walk there.
The points store was converted from a warehouse of less than 100 square meters. There were several cement counters built in the store, which were filled with goods. Inside, against the wall were square shelves, which were also filled with a variety of goods. Next to the counters were several large jars of soy sauce, vinegar and wine. It looked a bit like the supply and marketing cooperatives of the past.
However, a layer of explosion-proof and bullet-proof floor-to-ceiling glass windows was built outside the points redemption store, a small door and four goods trading windows were opened, and heating was turned on inside to ensure the freshness of the ingredients inside.
The staff has to use a dry towel to wipe away the heat lingering on the glass from time to time, otherwise there will be too much moisture and people outside will not be able to see the goods inside.
At this time, there were already four long queues outside the points store. Everyone was thinking that the New Year was coming soon, and they had to find a way to exchange some supplies at the points store so that they could have a good new year.
Today the sky is still gloomy, snow is falling, and the wind is cold.
Most people in the base live an ordinary life, wrapped in three layers of clothes for spring, summer, autumn and winter, shivering in the cold wind, huddled together to keep each other warm.
Because the weather was too cold or because conditions were limited, many people hadn't taken a bath for ten days, half a month, or even several months. The smell on their bodies was as bad as a biological weapon. Many people had to cover their noses with their collars and walk slowly in the crowd.
Sinan had frostbite on his feet and it was difficult for him to walk, let alone wait in line for half a day to change things in the cold weather.
Fortunately, the Shishan Base has clear regulations that soldiers and medical staff who save lives have privileges and priority in exchange shops and welfare wages, and they do not have to queue.
Cheng Suming took Si Nan to the window of the points store where it was written that soldiers and medical staff were given priority, and asked the staff through the window: "Is your Director Zhang in there?"
"Yes." The staff member recognized who he was. She was impatient with everyone else, but she was very polite to Cheng Suming. "Doctor Cheng, Director Zhang is in the stocking area at the back of the store. I'll go get him right away."
"No need." Cheng Suming stopped him: "Let's go find him. Open the back door for us."
Outside the points store, there is a big door leading to the stock warehouse area behind the store. It is usually not open to outsiders and is always locked, but because of Cheng Su Ming and Si Nan's special identities, they have to open it.
One of them is a doctor who cured a big shot in the capital and had access to nearly 25 helicopters and more than 100 elite special forces in the capital.
One is that they often supply the points store with a variety of fresh fruits and vegetables, which are rare. Moreover, part of the responsibility for the kidnapping was the fault of their points store. The two wanted to find Director Zhang, and of course the staff had to give them face.
The staff member did not hesitate and immediately left the points store, opened the door leading to the spare warehouse area at the back, and politely invited Si Nan and the others in.
After they went in, the people in the queue saw them and started talking about it: "Who are those two people? Why did they go to the back?"
"You don't know them? These two are very famous in our Shishan Base. The man is a surgeon at Shishan Base, and the woman is his wife. These two..."
The man told the questioner about the incident that had shaken the entire Stone Mountain Base half a month ago. The questioner was stunned. "They are so powerful, so they must have a lot of supplies, right?"
The person who answered sneered: "I advise you not to have any evil ideas about them. That couple is not easy to mess with. Don't shoot yourself in the foot."
Squeezed in the crowd, the dirty Jiang Feifei looked at Si Nan's back as he left, a hint of jealousy flashing in her eyes.
How could a woman who couldn't even control her boyfriend marry such a handsome and capable man? Her life got better and better in the three years after the apocalypse, while she went from being a rich and beautiful woman with no worries about food and clothing to being as miserable as mud.
She refused to accept it! She refused to accept it!
She made that woman like her, rotten in the mud, unable to get up again! See how Zou Shichu, the unfaithful man, still thinks about that woman!
