Chapter 97 New Mission
After leaving the theater, everyone maintained a tacit silence. But within a few minutes, they would gather in small groups, whispering about the film's foreshadowings. Of course, some doubted it, but the mystique surrounding God's Supermarket convinced many that the film truly foreshadowed the future. It was even possible that it was a revelation ten seconds into the future.
Song Yuqing took Xiaoyi, who looked like a frightened deer, into his room.
Sitting on the soft edge of the bed, Xiaoyi's emotions gradually stabilized, and she began to talk about her story with Ruan Fanfan, and their deep sisterly love.
Xiaoyi was an adopted child, a child she had been given from a fishmonger, her biological father.
Xiaoyi's adoptive parents run a small business in the county town.
When they adopted Xiaoyi, they were already in their forties and were determined to raise a daughter to provide for them in their old age.
They were quite nice to Xiaoyi, ensuring that Xiaoyi had enough food and clothing, could go to school, and gave him some care and an education called "love and gratitude."
Ruan Fanfan was fifteen when she first met her cousin, Xiaoyi. The smiley, cautious child made her heart ache. She had moved back to the county town with her parents from another province, and she began to learn about family secrets and realize that not all parents raise their children without expecting anything in return. Looking at Xiaoyi, she felt vaguely like she was looking at her younger self.
When everyone in the family was accusing Xiaoyi, a third-grader, of stealing money, Ruan Fanfan was the only one who asked Xiaoyi why she stole. Ruan Fanfan, still remembering her own childhood, was extra forgiving of Xiaoyi. A third-grader had stolen ten yuan just to pay her class fees. She was the only one in the class who hadn't paid, and her adoptive parents said she wouldn't have to pay as long as she didn't participate in activities.
After Ruan Fanfan knew the reason, she gave her pocket money to Xiaoyi without saying a word.
Xiaoyi remembered every detail of this. She grew up imitating Ruan Fanfan's kindness and generosity, and tried her best to control the timidity and cowardice she had developed since childhood.
It can be said that Ruan Fanfan changed Xiaoyi's future. Xiaoyi, in turn, became Ruan Fanfan's most supportive member of the family. Whenever she heard rumors about Xiaoyi, she would immediately step forward to refute them. She was Ruan Fanfan's most loyal little sister.
After Ruan Fanfan became an adult, Xiaoyi was the only "relative" that Ruan Fanfan kept in touch with.
Because Ruan Fanfan chose a path other than going to school, working, getting married, and having children, she naturally became the unfilial daughter in the eyes of all her relatives.
Ruan Fanfan didn’t know whether there was a future on the farm. She only knew that there was life on the farm, where she could maintain her great dreams and have the possibility of doing great things.
The end of the world has come, and the old order of existence and old interpersonal relationships have been broken. But the relationship between Xiaoyi and Ruan Fanfan has not changed.
After joining Base No. 35, Xiaoyi has been asking people to find out about Ruan Fanfan.
Knowing that Ruan Fanfan was at the farm before his death, Xiaoyi began to inquire about it. Someone told Xiaoyi that there was a person who sold information, and Xiaoyi was willing to exchange all the crystal cores he had worked hard to save for a piece of Ruan Fanfan.
That day, Xiaoyi got up early and waited outside the base, waiting for the person with the deal information to come and contact her. She saw a big bird descend from the sky, and on its back was her longed-for sister.
“Can the future be changed?”
Song Yuqing was silent for a moment, then nodded. Since the God's Supermarket had given them a glimpse into the future, they could definitely do something. Even if it was just a small change, it could still influence the future.
"Do you know how to find my sister?"
Xiaoyi looked at Song Yuqing seriously, hoping to get an answer from Song Yuqing.
Song Yuqing is the manager of God's Supermarket and also Ruan Fanfan's friend. Xiaoyi trusts Song Yuqing.
"I don't know." Song Yuqing's answer made Xiaoyi's eyes flash with disappointment.
After the apocalypse, Song Yuqing's contact with Ruan Fanfan was one-way. Ruan Fanfan knew her location, but she had no way of knowing where Ruan Fanfan had gone or where he had come from.
Xiaoyi lowered her head, her long eyelashes hiding the worry in her eyes.
After a while, Xiaoyi looked up and said, "Shall we lure my sister out?"
Song Yuqing was startled. Xiaoyi straightened his back, leaned close to Song Yuqing's ear, and whispered his thoughts.
"Luring the snake out of its hole?"
Song Yuqing wasn't sure if this approach would work. She needed to think it over.
After coming out of the room, Song Yuqing called a meeting of the staff of God's Supermarket, while Xiaoyi went to the next room to find his companions from Base No. 35.
The method proposed by Xiaoyi is a bit risky, but it may not be impossible.
Liu Xiaona had already packed the supplies and distributed them to the pigeons. The four people from God's Supermarket gathered at the checkout counter, exchanging glances.
"I've heard the future might be bad."
“Gahhahaha!”
Little Meat Bun looked at Song Yuqing worriedly. What if this world was destroyed? What if Song Yuqing, Liu Xiaona, and Gaha all disappeared? What if it was forced to return to its original world?
Song Yuqing cleared his throat and was about to speak when Master Fu started shouting.
"Are you all gathered?! I have something important to tell you!"
Song Yuqing: ...
"I also want to ask you about future films..."
Before Song Yuqing could finish his sentence, Master Fu interrupted him anxiously.
"Oh, let me talk about mine first. My matter is more urgent." Mr. Fu didn't say that what he was about to say was essentially the same as what Song Yuqing was about to say.
"Listen carefully, the sales for the new month will be reduced by half. In other words, Song Yuqing, you only need to complete 1,500 sales."
Liu Xiaona looked at Song Yuqing in surprise, but Song Yuqing still had a frown on his face.
When something is abnormal, there must be something wrong.
Sure enough, Master Fu’s next words were not simple, just as Song Yuqing had thought.
"At the same time! At the same time! Song Yuqing, I have upgraded your space permissions. You can go to the parallel world twice a month, but you need to complete a certain amount of tasks."
"What mission?" Liu Xiaona's eyes widened. "Can we go together to help Song Yuqing?"
Song Yuqing rolled his eyes silently in his heart: "What do you mean by a certain amount of tasks?"
"Of course, you can go together." Master Fu paused. "There are three tasks in total. After you complete each one, I can answer your questions and help you analyze the future films."
"Master Fu, you are so nice!" Liu Xiaona felt that Master Fu was somewhat of a helping hand.
Song Yuqing touched Liu Xiaona's arm and said with his eyes: Hey, it's too early for you to say that. It's hard to say what task Master Fu will assign you!
"The first one is to find a machine that can identify zombies in the parallel world. The second one is to bring back plant seeds that can grow in the wasteland in the parallel world. The third one is to take care of Lin Han's aftermath."
Song Yuqing was shocked one after another.
"What do you mean, clean up after Lin Han?"
