After returning to the tent, Shen Yanming first wiped his face and arms with a damp towel before changing into clean pajamas and lying in bed.
This must be the second time he and Joan have gone camping in the wild. Last time, Joan wasn't pregnant yet, but this time, her belly is so big it looks like she's about to give birth.
He gently embraced her from behind, and when their wrists touched, Shen Yanming heard a "ding" sound.
When I looked at my hand, oh, it was that smart bracelet that I'd almost never used.
Shen Yanming sighed and rubbed his forehead. How could he have forgotten about this thing?! Even if the cell phone signal was gone, this thing couldn't possibly lose its signal! Wasn't the original intention of designing the smart bracelet to deal with such emergencies?
And it seems that not only himself, but everyone on Qingning Mountain has forgotten what's on their wrist!
It's likely that the Qinghe Alliance's inability to send out its notices is largely due to this situation!
Shen Yanming quickly pressed and held the power button, and within a few seconds, the main page appeared. After a short wait, messages started arriving one after another until they stopped, with a red icon in the upper right corner indicating a total of 8 unread messages.
Shen Yanming opened the documents and began to read them one by one. It turned out that the reason for the sudden power outage when he went to handle some paperwork today was because a violent earthquake had occurred in Suzhou, which directly caused a power transmission line to be interrupted.
The city is located at the center of three nearby epicenters. Fortunately, they did not strike simultaneously and are some distance away from the city, so there were no major casualties today.
However, the Mirage Earthquake Response Team advises everyone to stay outdoors as much as possible recently, because it's still uncertain whether there will be major aftershocks. Furthermore, buildings that have just experienced an earthquake need to be assessed by professionals before a decision can be made on whether to continue living there.
In short, it's so troublesome.
When Shen Yanming saw the last unread message, he raised an eyebrow, seemingly somewhat surprised. This message was a notification for newly recruited guards to assemble at the local guard unit.
As for the time, no specific requirements were given; it only stated that everyone should gather after seeing the message. This was probably because they were unsure whether or when everyone would see it, hence the statement.
Shen Yanming checked his personal information on the smart bracelet and found that his workplace had changed to the Hai City Guard Team. It seemed that the information he entered at noon had been directly uploaded to the cloud.
He checked everything and, finding no missing information, activated Bi Qiaoan's smart bracelet. After carefully reviewing it and confirming that her information matched his own, he felt relieved and went to sleep with his wife in his arms.
As for the reports, let's talk about them after I wake up.
Shen Yanming never considered not going. At times like these, the more you give, the more you receive.
After all, no one wants to be supported by someone who just wants to freeload.
Even though they don't need the supplies from the Alliance or the Guardians to live on, both of them still need the Guardians' armed protection. Unless they hide in the space from now on and never contact outsiders again.
Of course, that's impossible.
Sigh, I don't want to think about it anymore. I was so sleepy I could barely keep my eyes open, but after looking at the smart bracelet for a while, I'm actually wide awake again.
Moreover, I wonder if my hearing is too good; I can even hear the conversations in the nearby tents clearly.
Fortunately, they were only talking about trivial things. If they had revealed their bank card passwords or been doing something intimate, oh my god, that would have been incredibly embarrassing.
Since he couldn't fall asleep anytime soon, Shen Yanming closed his eyes and used his consciousness to organize the supplies in his space.
They had always been collecting and hoarding, never bothering to organize or tally anything. Shen Yanming knew his own resources; he could support a city for a year or two without any problem, but he genuinely didn't want to cause trouble for himself and Bi Qiaoan.
They would either be relentlessly hunted down or be kept by the alliance. Either way, it would be a catastrophe for two people who yearned for freedom, had no great ambitions, and just wanted to live a simple life.
Shen Yanming didn't want to reveal his hand, but he had a feeling that this time, he might not be able to escape.
Perhaps the consciousness used in space is a kind of mental power. Shen Yanming only counted the amount of rice and flour and piled them together before feeling a little sleepy. He didn't force himself, simply withdrew his consciousness, and fell asleep while holding his wife.
The next day, Shen Yanming was awakened by the noise of the people around him. He raised his left hand and glanced at his smart bracelet; it showed that it was only 6:30 a.m.
Hearing his wife mutter "It's so noisy," Shen Yanming took out two earplugs from his spatial storage, gently inserted them into her ears, and then changed into his outer clothes before leaving the tent.
It was already bright outside, and the temperature was rising. Compared to the biting cold wind last night, the warm sunshine felt especially comfortable on my skin.
The people around him were either chatting or starting fires to prepare meals. Shen Yanming was a little confused. They clearly had nothing to do today, so why were they all up so early? Could it be that he and Bi Qiaoan were just too lazy?
He walked over to the group and listened to their conversation for a while before realizing that they were used to sleeping in their big beds at home and found the tent cramped and hard, which made it difficult for them to sleep comfortably.
Shen Yanming declined to comment. He observed that among the many people around him, not everyone was wearing a smart bracelet, and even those who were wearing it were in the same state as he had been before, with it turned off.
He found a crowded spot and waited for them to finish their conversation before interjecting, "None of you have ever used your smart bracelets?"
Everyone was puzzled. "No, this thing is useless. I regret wearing it in the first place. Now I can't take it off."
Upon seeing this, Shen Yanming said directly, "I tried to activate it last night and then received a notification from the Qinghe Alliance. It seems that when there is no cell phone signal, this smart bracelet is our only way to get information from the outside world."
"Really? It has this effect? That's amazing!" Shen Yanming's words exploded in everyone's ears like a thunderclap, and they all showed expressions of disbelief.
Shen Yanming nodded. "I have no reason to lie to you. This is something that is easy to verify. You can just turn on your smart bracelets and you'll see."
Yes, it's not like you're losing anything by opening one.
So everyone around quickly pressed the power button, and within two minutes, they received one message after another.
Shen Yanming watched from the side and noticed that the information everyone else received was somewhat different from his.
For example, their mailboxes didn't contain the message that required newly hired guards to report for duty.
