Chapter 142 A Hasty Arrival and Departure



After arriving at the storage area, Shen Yanming ignored the large amount of supplies he had stored and headed straight for the Shen family's astonishing treasure.

This was his first time seeing such a treasure, Shen Yanming thought. He wondered if Qiao An would beat him up if she found out.

With a gentle and doting smile on his face, Shen Yanming walked towards the mountain of boxes. Before he had complete control over the space, he wouldn't have known how to remove these layers of boxes even if he wanted to. But now, with a thought, stacks of boxes were laid out around Shen Yanming one by one.

Shen Yanming opened the boxes one by one, and even though he was well-prepared, he was still shocked. Boxes upon boxes of gold, silver, jade, pearls, silk, medicinal herbs...

Shen Yanming thought that as long as he had just one box of these things, his family would prosper, let alone the thousands of them!

Shen Yanming couldn't even imagine how much hoarding and speculation his ancestors had done to amass such a fortune; no wonder people were envious.

Shen Yanming felt that if he were the ancestor's enemy and knew that the other family had such a huge fortune, he would also be envious. In that case, it was truly remarkable that the ancestor was able to get the family out unscathed!

Shen Yanming stacked the other boxes back up, leaving only a box of jewelry, a box of medicinal herbs, and a box of tools.

Shen Yanming rummaged through the exquisite jewelry and found several silver openwork incense balls. Then he took out the medicinal herbs he needed from the medicine box, and finally took out the medicine-making tools he needed. After putting the box back in its place, he returned to the mobile villa.

When I got back, Bi Qiaoan was still asleep, and I don’t know what she was dreaming about, but she had a faint smile on her face.

Shen Yanming leaned down and kissed Bi Qiaoan on the cheek, then tiptoed out of the bedroom and into the study.

This study is filled with foreign language books. After all, it's a mobile villa customized in Europe, and it's mostly filled with original books from various countries, mainly classics and science and technology works.

Of course, in order to cater to Bi Qiaoan's needs, Shen Yanming bought a lot of domestic classics, professional books in various fields, textbooks and exercises for all grades, as well as novels of all kinds after returning to China. It can be said that he had everything, but Bi Qiaoan rarely came here to read books.

Shen Yanming placed the tools and herbs on the desk, and then, following the production process and proportions in the ancient book, he spent a long time making a small piece of spice.

Shen Yanming held it to his nose and smelled it. It had a faint medicinal fragrance. Then he took a knife, cut off a piece, put it into the incense ball, and lit it. A wisp of smoke drifted out through the hollowed-out part. It smelled very faint, but it was still quite pleasant.

However, Shen Yanming dared not smell it too much. After all, this was his first time preparing spices, and he didn't know if it was a success, if there were any harmful substances, or if it would achieve the desired effect.

Shen Yanming quickly extinguished the incense in the incense ball, and then cut the remaining incense into small cubes about the size of a fingernail.

Finally, after putting away the remaining medicinal herbs and medicine-making tools, I got up and left the study. Passing by the bedroom, I saw that Bi Qiaoan was still asleep, with the goose guarding the door.

Shen Yanming took his goose out and went to the grain field to pick a few ears of corn and dig up a few sweet potatoes. Then he went to the garden and picked a lot of chestnuts and a small basket of coffee beans.

Back in the kitchen, Shen Yanming cooked corn, sweet potatoes, and chestnuts, and then washed and peeled the coffee beans before spreading them out on the balcony to dry.

Twenty minutes later, Shen Yanming woke Bi Qiaoan up, and the two left the space after they finished eating.

The goose watched as the two disappeared in an instant, quacking loudly and staring wide-eyed. The goose flew around, but couldn't find its "mother goose".

However, the goose still remembered the nest where "Mother Goose" lived, and it took little steps to run towards the mobile villa. But it couldn't understand why it couldn't get past the nest when it was right in front of it.

The goose returned to the grassland listlessly. The grass didn't smell good anymore, the dried fish didn't smell good anymore, nothing smelled good anymore. She missed him...

When Shen Yanming and Bi Qiaoan left the space, they realized it was already 3 a.m. That's how it is in the space; unless you have a specific timer, it's very easy to lose track of time.

Shen Yanming pressed his face against the glass and looked outside. The rain was still falling, and he wondered if those little creatures still existed in the rain these days.

Neither of them felt sleepy, so they snuggled up on the large bed in the bedroom, looking at the latest news on their phones.

There has been little progress at the research institute; they have only temporarily named this tiny organism "Unknown No. 1." Qinghua has largely brought the number of people infected with Unknown No. 1 under control. According to statistics, approximately 20,000 people in Qinghua have been infected with Unknown No. 1.

Furthermore, according to the chief physician in charge of treating patients at the Teikyo Gymnasium, the patients infected with the unknown strain 1 generally experienced pain, limb convulsions, dizziness, vomiting, and other symptoms. However, so far, the patients are in stable condition and not in life-threatening danger.

Shen Yanming opened the internet and saw that the situation abroad was clearly not as optimistic as in China. The number of infections overseas was several times that of Qinghua, and the treatment conditions were much worse. Patients in crowded wards were in a bad mood but felt helpless...

The situation in Zuosi Kingdom was undoubtedly the worst, because the people of Zuosi Kingdom had great faith in the government. After hearing the remarks made by the president of Zuosi Kingdom, they rushed into the rain in an attempt to wash away their sins. As a result, more than 90% of the people of Zuosi Kingdom ended up lying on Zuosi Kingdom soil.

When President Zuo Siguo and senior government officials saw this situation, they panicked and hurriedly sought help from around the world, but no country responded.

Shen Yanming and Bi Qiaoan didn't continue watching. They put on a comedy movie on their phones and watched it laughing and joking until dawn.

With nothing to do at home, Shen Yanming and Bi Qiaoan took out some ingredients and made some food, such as fried meatballs and yogurt curds.

Three days later, the rain stopped, but Qinghe Alliance still hadn't given any notice that we could go out. Shen Yanming and Bi Qiaoan stayed at home obediently. Looking out the window, the neighborhood was still empty and deserted.

Another week passed, and the Qinghe Alliance announced that they could go out. However, they still did not release any research results on Unknown No. 1 because the research institute could not find Unknown No. 1.

You heard right, it's just not there!

The unknown 1 in the petri dish suddenly disappeared, turning into a pile of carbohydrates. The unknown 1 in the patient's body also disappeared, but the unknown bacteria and virus were still there, and their condition did not improve.

The research institute also went out to collect samples, including soil, river water, plants, and animals from many places. After testing, they still could not find any trace of Unknown No. 1, but it was still somewhat different.

So, that's how Unknown No. 1 came and went in such a hurry?
