Chapter 48 The First Day of the Rainstorm



Li Yao was woken up by the sound of rain pounding against the window. The sky was a gloomy gray. When she got up, it was already 8 a.m. While washing up, she watched the morning news, which featured various reports of the disappearance of South Korea, supermarkets in coastal cities, and the election of a new president in South Korea. Doomsday theories were resurfacing. Meanwhile, it had rained heavily all night, causing flooding in many areas, with daily rainfall reaching a near 50-year high…

Today's breakfast consisted of a cup of spring water, a steaming bowl of fresh shrimp congee, a basket of crab roe buns, a basket of shrimp dumplings, a small dish of pickled radish, a small dish of braised bean curd, and a final dish of savory tofu pudding. The whole breakfast was piping hot, with the steaming hot and fragrant shrimp congee, the mouthwatering crab roe buns, and each shrimp dumpling filled with plump and tender shrimp and shrimp roe. The side dishes were tangy and spicy, and the braised bean curd was full of savory sauce. The last dish of tofu pudding, which was fully braised without cilantro, was tender and smooth. Li Yao ate until she was sweating, and finally, she sat down contentedly on the carpet in the living room, leaning against the sofa and quietly watching the rain outside the window.

Li Yao doesn't quite remember the exact date of the tsunami. The original Li Yao lived in a villa surrounded by mountains, so she had never seen a tsunami. She only remembered that on that day, the news was full of reports of natural disasters. Some countries were so drought-stricken that their leaders prayed for rain, some coastal cities were completely submerged, some places experienced mudslides, and some places suffered from severe floods.

Some might wonder why she didn't tell the government. Li Yao had thought about it too, but she had too many things stored in her space. The food reserves of just the Koreans and the small country were enough to drive anyone crazy, not to mention the weapons of the flag-and-striped country.

If Li Yao had the system remind the Dragon Kingdom, then all the high-ranking officials of the Dragon Kingdom would immediately understand the reason for the disappearance of things over the past year upon hearing the news. They would also understand that so much weaponry and so much grain reserves, enough to feed hundreds of millions of people without any problem during a disaster, were in the hands of one person or one organization that knew the end of the world was coming.

Without a doubt, the government will send people to investigate this person or organization. After the period of uncertainty, they will spare no effort to find this person or organization, and once found, they will certainly take control. If Li Yao resists, she may face being suppressed or imprisoned for life.

Yes, you think the country wouldn't treat a meritorious Chinese citizen that way, but Li Yao can't guarantee that in the turbulent apocalypse, every leader with a voice would be so merciful. That's enough weaponry and a huge amount of supplies to destroy half the earth. Those high-ranking officials probably wouldn't dare to guarantee that Li Yao wouldn't impulsively blow up the entire Chinese nation.

Yes, no one can find the system's messages, but can't they check who in the apocalypse is clean and healthy, clearly never having gone hungry? Can't they check where there were battles and traces of large quantities of weapons of the Flag and Stripes type used?

It's undeniable that there are some great people in the Dragon Kingdom, but Li Yao has enough resources to drive any person or organization crazy. She doesn't want to gamble on the unknown, nor does she think people are that stupid.

Therefore, if no message is sent, people in China will not focus their attention on China. After all, investigating something worldwide in the apocalypse is an extremely difficult task, and it would also allow one to live more comfortably.

So where should we go to have fun from now on?

Li Yao thought about how she used to want to travel, but she didn't have time because she had to work and earn money. Besides, she didn't like going to big cities; she preferred to go to undeveloped places with beautiful mountains and rivers or magnificent scenery. Now was the perfect time to go, since she had both money and free time.

Li Yao sat up, picked up her tablet, and downloaded "China's National Geographic".
