Chapter 55: A Big Turn (23)
The base that Mr. and Mrs. Huang mentioned was exactly Lan Jin's ultimate goal, the Jing City Base. However, getting settled in the Jing City Base was far from as easy as Lan Jin thought.
Not to mention that the Beijing base has not been built yet. Even if it is built, it will be the central base among all the bases. Do you think ordinary people can easily enter it?
Therefore, if you want to live there, in addition to having connections to recommend you, you must be capable. As for what kind of ability you need, there is no detailed plan because the base has not been built yet. But it is obvious that the invitation letter has become the basic threshold for entering the Beijing base. This shows how valuable this invitation letter is.
Of course, Lan Jin must be clueless at this moment. Once she knew about this...it wouldn't really matter. Life must go on. If you want to survive well in the apocalypse, you always need to grow up on your own. It is never better to survive under the protection of others than to stand up on your own. So if it is really for Huang Jinghe's good, Lan Jin thinks that not helping him at all is the best help to him.
…
The sky outside the window was already completely dark. In addition to the howling wind, the heavy rain was lashing the glass like a whip. No one could sleep well that night.
In order to prevent Ren Siqiao from getting scared, Lan Jin washed the little girl and then began to discuss with her about letting her sleep in the space.
However, the little girl refused to enter the space no matter what. The look on her face as if she was rejecting her seemed to show that she was afraid that if she entered the space, she would miss something that would make her regret for the rest of her life.
To put it bluntly, she was worried that Lan Jin had done something 'bad' without her knowing, thus losing the fun of picking up the bad guys.
Lan Jin knew the truth but didn't say it out loud. She could only spend the whole night waking up and sleeping with the child. But after a night, the storm outside still showed no signs of abating. After Lan Jin finished taking care of the child, she stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling window on the balcony and looked out eagerly.
I thought I wouldn't be able to see clearly, but after one night, there was really no trace of the poisonous fog. But in just one night, the city roads had become a vast ocean, and even the dark clouds above were getting lower and lower. From a distance, it looked like a water dragon connecting the sky and the earth.
Lan Jin thought she was dazzled, and quickly took out a telescope from the space and looked towards the place she had just been to. The dark clouds there were pressed very low, and the vortex of water dragons was connected up and down and spinning rapidly in the air. In an instant, all the surrounding trees, cars, and houses were destroyed and sucked into it.
Lan Jin was extremely shocked. She knew there were tornadoes in her previous life, but could a tornado be so close to her?
Then she watched as the tornado crossed the river, destroyed the bridge, and moved towards them.
Lan Jin took several steps back in fear, but after calming down, he took out the telescope again and observed the tornado carefully.
A tornado is coming?
Coming towards them?
So what should she do, hide in the space?
But that's not right. She can avoid the tornado by entering the space, but what will she do after coming out? Her house is on the 32nd floor. If the house here is gone, won't she fall directly down when she comes out of the space?
However, just as Lan Jin was panicking, the tornado did not blow towards them at all, but turned a big corner and blew somewhere else.
Of course, this was just what Lan Jin observed through the telescope. In fact, the tornado was quite far away from her position, and according to its trajectory, it could not move to their side at all. She was just worrying too much just now.
Watching the tornado blow farther and farther away, Lan Jin suddenly relaxed. At this moment, the intercom on the coffee table rang.
Huang Jinghe: "Sister Lan, Sister Lan, can you hear me?"
The sudden signal rang, startling the heart that had just relaxed after the shock. Lan Jin picked up the intercom on the coffee table and said, "I'm here, I'm here."
Huang Jinghe: "Sister Lan, I was so scared just now. I saw a tornado, but it was a little far away from us. However, its destructive power was too strong. Fortunately, it didn't blow towards us."
Lan Jin: "Yes, I saw it too. I was really scared just now."
Huang Jinghe said, "But Sister Lan, the water and electricity were cut off just now. Luckily you asked me to get some water yesterday. I was worried about running out of power, so I kept charging my phone. It has power now, but there is no signal outside." So the phone is of no use whether it has power or not.
Lan Jin: "Given the situation outside, there's no telling when the signal will be restored."
There was a power outage, and Lan Jin asked why the group was so quiet at the moment, even though it was quite noisy just now.
Huang Jinghe reminded her, "Sister Lan, my parents said it's going to rain heavily soon, and it's expected to continue for several days. Do you have enough water and food at home? If not, I have more at home."
Lan Jin said, "Don't worry, I have food at home. I was very frugal with the relief supplies before, so I won't starve for a while. I also have plenty of water stored at home, but your parents said it's going to rain for several days straight?"
Huang Jinghe: "Yes, it's going to rain for several days straight. I called to tell me yesterday, but because you reminded me to store water, I thought you must have done so, so I didn't mention it yesterday. But Sister Lan, if you need food, please tell me. Even if you have to starve yourself, you can't let your child go hungry. We really have food at home."
Huang Jinghe's chatter actually eased Lan Jin's nervousness. Lan Jin smiled and said, "Don't worry, we have food at home. We mothers love to stock up, so we can hold on for a few months without any pressure."
Hearing Lan Jin say this, Huang Jinghe finally felt relieved, "Okay then, Sister Lan, if you need anything, just tell me."
Before Lan Jin could reply, Ren Siqiao snatched the intercom from her hand and called out sweetly, "Brother."
Ren Siqiao and Huang Jinghe had only met once in these three months, but Ren Siqiao remembered the big boy upstairs after just one meeting.
It was nothing, even though the meeting was brief, Huang Jinghe still brought her a huge candy.
The candy was as big as a 3-year-old child, which means that Ren Siqiao, who was over 2 years old, was not even as big as a candy. But it didn't matter. Children like candies, so she had a good impression of the person who gave her the candy. As a result, the two of them established a "deep" friendship because of a candy. What's more, Ren Siqiao occasionally used her mobile phone to call Huang Jinghe for "chat".
So much so that at this moment, he heard Lan Jin talking to Huang Jinghe. Although she didn't quite know what a walkie-talkie was, she might be chatting with her brother upstairs. Ren Siqiao certainly didn't want to miss it, so he called him brother sweetly.
Huang Jinghe also liked this little sister very much. After calling her brother, Lan Jin gave up her seat and let the two little ones start chatting, but all her attention was still on the window. In just a few words, the tornado had disappeared, and all that was left was the strong wind and heavy rain.
