After New Year's Day, nothing happened in Qinghua Kingdom except for the cold.
Although the data released by research institutes is becoming increasingly alarming, the ocean remains unchanged, at least on the surface.
Because many people had tried it out first, most coastal residents knew about the conditions of the Kunmeng Mountain refuge and didn't rush to go immediately. Instead, they quietly packed their belongings and waited for the weather to warm up before driving there to seek refuge.
Although the shelter conditions were a bit poor, I felt safe living there no matter what.
In addition to their work, Shen Yanming and Bi Qiaoan also paid special attention to the news every day.
Comrade Shen would not only discuss these matters with his colleagues during work hours, but also consult Li Gangtie and Qi Xili after work. Each time, the two of them would hesitate, their faces dark and their brows furrowed, but they would try their best to remind Shen Yanming to pay more attention through a few words.
Bi Qiaoan didn't go to work, but she stayed home and worked hard to make pills. Not only the batch the Alliance needed, but she also made a lot using herbs grown in her own space to stock up. She kept the TV on while working each day, afraid of missing the latest news.
No, the news only reports the same two things repeatedly. Bi Qiaoan looks at the data every day and can almost see the pattern.
Sometimes, the couple would talk and realize that waiting like this wasn't going to work. They were constantly on edge, afraid it might give them a heart attack.
They lived a peaceful and carefree life, taking advantage of their young age and ignorance, eating and sleeping all day without any worries.
That day, Zhang Heping called Shen Yanming and said, "I don't know what Zhao Zhao was doing, letting his wife get pregnant at this critical moment."
Shen Yanming...
After a long silence, he said, "This is a matter between the couple. We can only offer suggestions; we can't make decisions for them."
"I know, but I just feel that getting pregnant at this time would only cause more trouble!"
Shen Yanming smiled and comforted him, "Alright, let's not talk about this anymore. What's the situation between them now?"
“Zhao Zhao was afraid that the disaster would spread to Haishi and wanted to abort the child, but Ya Jing felt that Haishi was so far from the sea that nothing should happen. The two disagreed and got into an argument.”
"This is not our business. Let them discuss it among themselves."
"I know, that's just how it is. It feels like things are getting out of control."
Shen Yanming shook his head. "We're just friends with them. We can offer advice, but we can't expect them to do things our way. Heping, try to adjust your mindset. Don't let Zhaozhao hear these kinds of things; it'll hurt our feelings."
Zhang Heping nodded: "I know, but I'm just worried about them."
"Yes, you need to be careful." After saying that, Shen Yanming asked, "Why did you call me? What do you want me to do?"
Zhang Heping hesitated for a moment, "I just wanted you to analyze how likely it is that our area will be affected by a disaster, and then give Zhao Zhao and the others some advice."
Shen Yanming directly refused: "I don't have that kind of ability, and I can't predict the future. All I can do is offer some help after they make their decision. Peace, I'm not a god. I can only remind everyone because I happened to see certain things and gained a little opportunity."
Zhang Heping remained silent for a long time before finally saying, "I understand!"
"Feel sorry!"
Zhang Heping smiled and said, "I'm the one who should apologize. I've put you in a difficult position."
Shen Yanming was very sad. He sighed and said, "Tell me when they've made their decision. I have some very effective medicine to prevent miscarriage, and I also have some very effective medicine to help you recover. That's all I can do."
"Okay, I understand. I misspoke just now, please don't mind."
"It's okay, we're brothers, I know you meant well." But I was really sad too.
Shen Yanming hung up the phone, a wave of sadness washing over him. Bi Qiaoan saw it all, but couldn't offer any comfort. Even An'an and Nuan Nuan were a little scared, hiding in Bi Qiaoan's arms, afraid to make a sound.
After a long while, he said to Bi Qiaoan, "I'm going in there." He didn't even let Bi Qiaoan see him off before he flashed into the space.
Bi Qiaoan looked at the spot where Shen Yanming had disappeared, shook her head, and let the two children continue playing with their puzzles. She knew he wanted some peace and quiet, so she didn't disturb them.
Shen Yanming was indeed in a bad mood, not only because he couldn't help his brother, but also because he felt a sense of irritability.
Over the past few years, he has tried his best to support his friends in his own way, but he's not a god; he doesn't know everything or solve every problem. He also has his difficulties and needs help.
Shen Yanming lay on the floor of the storage area for a long time until he felt that most of the frustration in his heart had dissipated. Then he took some old medicinal herbs from the cabinet where the herbs were stored and walked towards the mobile villa.
This time, he didn't ride his electric scooter. He just wanted to take a walk to calm his mind.
Shen Yanming went into the study to prepare some medicine to help prevent miscarriage. He guessed that Li Zhaozhao would most likely give in to Xu Yajing and eventually compromise to keep the child. He wondered how he could have miscalculated after sending so many little umbrellas (presumably referring to gifts or supplies).
If Li Zhaozhao knew what Shen Yanming was thinking, he would definitely say, "Well, sometimes when you're emotional, you just forget!"
If Shen Yanming knew, he would definitely say, "Why don't you forget yourself, you brainwashed idiot?"
Of course, he had no idea what was going on over there. After placing the medicinal herbs on the table, he prepared to fetch his tools.
Bi Qiaoan knew the situation the moment Shen Yanming walked out of the storage area. She breathed a sigh of relief when she saw his calm expression. She thought he would come out, but instead, he took the medicinal herbs into the study.
Bi Qiaoan glanced at the two children who were engrossed in playing, but didn't mention going into her spatial dimension. She used her consciousness to scan the orchard, picked an orange, a banana, and a dozen blueberries, and made a simple crying face platter.
She used her consciousness to lift the plate and fly to the study. She saw Shen Yanming tidying up tools with his back to the table, so she put the plate on the desk.
When he turned around, he saw the extra things on the table. While he was surprised, he saw his downward-facing mouth suddenly turn into a smile.
Shen Yanming's lips curled up, his mood improving considerably. Although he didn't see the person who had arrived, he still murmured to the air, "Thank you, wife!"
Upon hearing this, Bi Qiaoan used her consciousness to pick up a blueberry and feed it to Shen Yanming, indicating that she understood.
Shen Yanming smiled, put the tools aside, picked up the plate, and ate it all up.
He realized he wasn't a god and couldn't save everyone. As long as he did his best and had a clear conscience, that was enough.
He still has a wife, son, and daughter to protect; this is not the time to show kindness or expose his secrets. He needs to keep himself hidden and get through the apocalypse with his family.
Shen Yanming put the empty plate aside, picked up the medicinal herbs again, and began working.
