Chapter 14: Should we save the big boss?



Shen Jing chose to ignore this friend request.

Even if he's an ordinary person now, it's best if we have no interaction.

I got off the plane and went home.

Shen Jing fell asleep as soon as her head hit the pillow; being in a different time zone is really annoying.

She was only woken up by her alarm clock in the morning, and when she picked up her phone, she glanced at it. The calendar showed March 23rd, the day of the Dragon Raising its Head.

Whether other variables will occur, Shen Jing doesn't know.

We don't even know if the disaster might have come sooner...

She can only be prepared at all times.

According to the original plan, she was supposed to go to Sister Chen's place to collect the cooked food after she returned.

Shen Jing quickly tidied herself up and prepared to go out.

She had just pushed open the security door when a wave of heat hit her face, more exciting than being in a sauna!

Today's temperature has definitely hit a new record.

Shen Jing first went to Sister Chen's studio to pick up the last batch of lunch boxes.

There was still some money left over from the prepaid meal expenses, and several boxes of flour and vegetables that hadn't been cooked yet. This was enough to feed the group for six months.

Shen Jing only took the cash: "Sister Chen, you can keep the rest of the ingredients. I don't know how to make pastries."

"There are still many left. How about I make them into finished products, and then you can come and take them?" Sister Chen estimated that there were still many left, and she was a little embarrassed to take them.

"The customer doesn't need to order anymore, so you can keep it."

Seeing that she was about to refuse, Shen Jing could only hint, "The weather has been so strange these past few days, try to keep some food at home."

"We have plenty! What about you? Why don't you take these back? I'll record a video to teach you how to do it."

Having no other choice, Shen Jing grabbed a bag of flour and hurriedly left.

Shen Jing remembers that a sudden blizzard blocked all the roads.

Many soldiers sacrificed their lives during the grain harvest...

Unlike my previous life.

That prophetic post has appeared in this lifetime.

But will it really work? Shen Jing was a little pessimistic…

On her drive home, she felt a vague unease.

Before Shen Jing could even stop the car properly...

Suddenly a tiny crack appeared in the road ahead, but the crack seemed to be spreading and widening!

The sound of people crying and shouting came from not far away.

Li Fenghua, the resident next door, was running downstairs cursing.

"Ptooey! I almost thought I was going to die!"

Shen Jing took out her phone and glanced at it; it was only noon.

The tremors came on quickly and went away quickly.

Besides the widespread online discussion about the "strong tremors," people began to doubt the original prophecy post.

The post clearly states that heavy snow had just covered the ground.

But now we've been waiting for a strange earthquake!

Many people even went to the post to gloat.

"Didn't they say there would be an earthquake in three years? They've proven them wrong!"

"The apocalypse, my foot! I just felt the bed shake, but it was quieter than when I do a sit-up."

"Haha, it's just for fun, I thought they were having a disco upstairs!"

"I predict it too! It will definitely exceed 40 degrees Celsius in three days!"

"Pshaw! I believe the weather forecast; there will definitely be localized rain that day!"

"It's a bit strange that the tremors were so strong in City S, which isn't in an earthquake zone..."

Serious comments were quickly scrolled down.

"Has anyone seen the internet celebrity eating a live spider? Go watch it now!"

The buildings behind them all went off-topic, everyone was discussing mukbang (eating broadcasts).

Shen Jing was looking at the news about M City, the epicenter of the earthquake, when she was suddenly bumped into by Li Fenghua next to her.

Luckily, she reacted quickly and protected the phone: "What's wrong?"

Li Fenghua took two steps closer, not holding back at all: "Oh! Great! Xiao Shen brought his cell phone!"

After she finished speaking, she naturally reached for Shen Jing's phone.

“I’m using it.” Shen Jing glanced around; most of the young people were holding phones. “Why don’t you ask someone else?”

"I don't know them! You're my neighbor!"

Li Fenghua simply thought Shen Jing was too young and easy to bully. "Look at that blond guy, he even needs an IOU to borrow a phone, what a stingy person! Doesn't he care about neighborly harmony? What kind of person is he!"

Shen Jing followed Li Fenghua's gaze to the blond-haired man, and surprisingly, someone had actually started a business!

Some people buy into it, but it also attracts more contempt.

After all, the earthquake had just occurred, and social order had not yet completely collapsed. Ordinary people still maintained their dignity and moral compass.

Li Fenghua continued meaningfully, "Xiao Shen, you can't be so petty."

But why didn't she mention that the people around were already looking for the owners of the lost phones? She kindly lent out her phone, but it was never returned.

This gave Huang Mao the opportunity to start a business.

If Shen Jing were to comment, people like Huang Mao are the ones who can survive longer in the apocalypse.

"I won't lend it." Shen Jing's cold attitude, a departure from her usual politeness, stunned Li Fenghua.

"Hey! You! You! Girls these days are so stingy!" Li Fenghua waved her hand, urging the people still watching, "Everyone, tell me, we've been neighbors for years, who would covet her broken phone!"

"Yes...yes, Xiao Shen, right? We've lived in Building 10 for many years."

"I can guarantee that everyone here is a long-time resident of this building! You'll definitely be able to borrow and return it!"

"The house is here, so my phone won't get lost!"

One of the middle-aged men stepped forward: "Actually, most of those who didn't bring their phones are elderly people. Young lady, just let these old people know they're safe."

Shen Jing smiled and placed her phone on her right hand.

Just as Li Fenghua was about to reach for it, she saw Shen Jing turn her hand and place it in front of the middle-aged man.

All I heard her say was, "Are you also a resident of Building 10?"

Although Lin Guoqiang found the other party's attitude strange, he still nodded politely: "Building 10, Room 1004".
