But as Dean Tan explained, Mayor Jiang's back gradually straightened and his expression became serious.
"You said... your hospital was robbed last night, a large amount of medicine not only disappeared into thin air, but the thief also left you a note that said our country is about to face the apocalypse of acid rain?"
If it weren't for the fact that it was his close friend speaking, Mayor Jiang would have thought the other person was just teasing him.
"Not just our country, but the whole world!" Dean Tan pointed out the flaw in Mayor Jiang's statement.
Mayor Jiang wasn't sure whether he should laugh or not: "Is this the time to be agonizing over this?"
"Old Tan, let me be clear from the start, this isn't something you can just say casually. Do you know what this phone call you made today represents?"
“I know…” Dean Tan’s tone was tinged with bitterness.
"Alright!" Mayor Jiang took a deep breath. "I'll send someone to find you right away. Take the hospital's surveillance footage and that note with you. I'll then send you to the capital..."
At that time, Xiao Jin was unaware of the trouble she had caused, and perhaps she did it on purpose.
Xiao Jin walked down the street, where pedestrians and vehicles were rushing by, and the siren of an ambulance was constantly blaring.
After leaving the convenience store, Xiao Jin headed towards the nearest subway station.
The arrival of acid rain in the morning signifies the official start of the apocalypse. Compared to ordinary houses, subway stations offer the greatest protection against the threat of acid rain.
As she descended the escalator, Xiao Jin memorized the subway station map and secretly planned her route, noting the various entrances and exits, as well as the fire emergency exits. After memorizing them, she found a bench in a corner and sat down to rest, pretending to wait for the train.
"Look! He's so handsome!"
"Ahhh!!"
Excited conversations came from Xiao Jin's left. Xiao Jin was sitting on a bench with her knees bent, leaning against a support pillar with her eyes closed, taking a light nap.
Upon hearing the sound, I opened my eyes and happened to see two girls hugging each other and screaming.
The three exchanged a glance. Before Xiao Jin could react, the two girls' faces turned bright red, and they both lowered their heads and nervously grabbed the arms of the people next to them.
Ahhhh! He looked at me! He's even more handsome with his eyes open! (Groundhog screaming.jpg)
“Go away…” one of them poked her best friend’s waist with her finger.
The other one, head bowed, shook his head violently: "No, I don't dare, you go!"
Neither of them could convince the other. At that moment, the train arrived at the station, and the two could only reluctantly board the train, turning back every few steps.
Just before boarding the bus, the girl who was at the back somehow mustered up her courage, took out her phone, and secretly took a picture of Xiao Jin on the bench.
"Look!" The girl excitedly handed her phone to her best friend, which prompted the friend to excitedly grab her by the throat.
"Oh, you're keeping it all to yourself! Send it to me right away, I want some too."
"Haha, serves you right for being such a coward! I won't give it to you!"
On the other side, although the girl was taking pictures very discreetly, Xiao Jin was extremely perceptive and immediately realized that she was being photographed without her consent.
However, she could tell that the two girls were just curious and it wasn't a problem, so she didn't stop them.
Last night, Xiao Jin not only had to clean up the mess caused by skipping class, but also played the role of a master thief. She didn't sleep all night, and she was feeling quite tired.
"Buzz~"
As if on cue, Xiao Jin's phone started vibrating just as she was thinking about skipping class.
Xiao Jin frowned, pinched the bridge of her nose with her fingers, and opened her phone screen. The familiar words "Counselor" appeared on it.
I glanced at the time; it was already 8:30. Clearly, Xiao Jin had been caught skipping class again, and the other party was here to confront her!
The call was automatically disconnected because no one answered it for a long time, but then it kept ringing persistently.
Xiao Jin still couldn't answer. Scrolling up the page, she realized that she had more than one missed call on her phone. Besides Jian Xiuyun, the original owner's roommate, and her parents, there were about thirty missed calls in total.
Upon seeing this, Xiao Jin immediately turned off the phone.
Anyway, there's no money left in it, so it doesn't matter whether it's turned on or not.
Since there were quite a few homeless people staying overnight in the subway station, Xiao Jin simply lay down on the bench, put her backpack behind her head, and covered her upper body with her clothes to cover her entire head.
Neither the passersby noticed Xiao Jin in the corner, letting her fall into a deep sleep.
I slept until four in the afternoon.
Xiao Jin was awakened by the increasingly loud discussion around her. She went to the public restroom, washed her face, and smoothed her frizzy hair.
Once outside, I learned what they were talking about from the crowd.
It turned out that while Xiao Jin was asleep, acid rain fell outside again. This time, the acid rain was similar to that in the morning, with a low concentration and a duration of only ten minutes.
Having learned from past experiences, as soon as the raindrops fell, people outside, regardless of whether it was acid rain or not, immediately took shelter. Afterwards, they were all still shaken by the experience.
Luckily, I was quick enough.
The rain stopped, but subsequent public opinion propelled the term "global acid rain" to the top of the traffic charts.
Just when everyone was panicking, a message issued by the national government stunned the entire nation.
Instead of debunking the claim about "global acid rain," the country itself confirmed it and defined it as a more severe extinction event than the Cretaceous-Tertiary extinction event.
The announcement caused an uproar around the world, and governments of other countries subsequently issued statements criticizing the Chinese government for spreading alarmist rumors and peddling anxiety, condemning its irresponsible remarks.
However, the Chinese government acted as if it hadn't seen the online abuse, and immediately issued an order for mandatory return for those entering and leaving the country. It then strengthened border control, while inland areas began preparing for a harvest rush.
It's not harvest time yet, so the government ordered the people to start harvesting their crops now. The first to disagree were the local farmers.
Harvesting at this time would undoubtedly exacerbate their losses; think of how much less grain they would harvest!
The farmers staged a collective protest, but the officials seemed resigned to their fate, saying, "Fine, if you don't want to collect it, we'll collect it for you."
The government mobilized large machinery and dispatched troops to harvest the crops themselves. The harvested grain was then purchased by the government at a reasonable price.
After this incident, the country's grain supply has basically been taken care of by the state. But that's not enough; China also imports large quantities of grain and daily necessities from abroad.
Furthermore, for those who do not wish to return from abroad, the authorities will contact their local embassies and arrange for special planes to bring them back based on their login information.
Throwing a tantrum won't work, and you can sue them if you want, but the main point is that you can do whatever you want, but you have to go back to China.
