Apocalypse: After Being Reborn, I Stocked Up on All Supplies-Chapter 167 - Earthquake 1

Chapter 167: Chapter 167 Earthquake 1

Jiang Yan swiftly walked up to the unformed Spiritual Spring.

Beside it was the source of the Space creek, that dense,tton-candy-like white fog.

The boxntaining Tai Sui was placed there solidly and assuredly.

Around the box, a hint of refreshing and sweet scent was emanating.

Jiang Yan finally understood the source of the smell she had picked up earlier in Warehouse No.1.

It was likelyming from that jelly-like Tai Sui.

In theory, only living things would be automatically rgnized by the Space and placed where it deemed appropriate.

Similar to the fish, shrimp, crab, and turtles they had put in earlier.

The Space had automatically thrown them into a water-filled swimming pool.

Could it be that the Space judged that the Tai Sui should reside in the creek or the Spiritual Spring?

As she pondered this, Jiang Yan quickly returned to the Apple Cabin.

She booted up hermputer and rapidly searched through offline documents.

From the database, she learned that Tai Sui was originally also a living organism, just not an animal, plant, or fungus, but a rather magical and unique form of life.*

It was said to possess a strong self-healing ability and had amplete cellular structure, where each piece cut off would survive independently.

Besides, among themmon folk, Tai Sui was also known as meat Ganoderma.

It came not only in red, white, black but also in blue and yellow.

People believed that eating meat Ganodermauld extend life, and even lead to immortality, which is why it had been favored by many alchemists and emperors, who even summoned tens of thousands of soldiers to search for it.*

Even in modern times, the Tai Sui that were found were worth their weight in gold.

And the current piece of Tai Sui, by size and quality, was indeed one in ten thousand.

No wonder it was placed separately there.

But remembering the old man in the white labat, Jiang Yan somewhat suspected that he might have been using the Tai Sui for some research.

Why there was a golden net over the box, however, remained a mystery.

To be on the safe side, Jiang Yan did not attempt to open the box for the time being.

She left it as it was.

As she stood up and glanced at the progress bar above the creek, Jiang Yan’s heart leaped with joy.

[99.70%]

It was merely half a day away from 100%.

Recalling the aberrant behavior of the fish and bats earlier, Jiang Yan gave Hua Bao a few instructions before stepping out of the Space.

It just so happened.

The moment she stepped onto the living room floor, it felt like a sieve shaking rapidly, “buzzing” intensely.

The chandelier above in the living room also swung noisily.

Plaster dust from the gypsum board ceiling fell like snowflakes.

Outside the floor-to-ceiling window, the usually calm surface of the water now surged with waves, rapidly rushing towards her building.

“Whoosh!” A few splashes and foam even sprayed onto her glass window.

Jiang Yan was shocked.

Things really went off the rails!

The earthquake had arrived earlier than expected, and the tremors were incredibly intense!

Earthquakes she had experienced before happened either at night or in the early morning.

An earthquake this strong occurring during the day was indeed a first for her.

She knew that during an earthquake, hiding in tight spaces or crawling under a tablensiderably increased safety.

But at the moment, her house was empty, and the fireplace sheuld have held onto for stability was some distance away.

As her body swayed and she nearly stumbled and fell, Jiang Yan flashed into the Space in an instant.

Jiang Yan remembered hearing as a child that during an earthquake, one must never fall down, as ituld lead to a stroke or cerebral hemorrhage.

Whether that was true remained unknown.

But being cautious was never a mistake.

Seeing the intensity of the earthquake just now, it wasn’t low-grade.

Her house had been reinforced with steel plates and was unlikely to fracture.

But the rest of the building wasn’t, and she was at the very top.

Jiang Yan feared there might be a mishap.

Estimating the tremors had passed, she donned a red helmet and stepped out of the Space again.

Gazing around the room, Jiang Yan’s brow furrowed instinctively.

The floor was nowvered with a substantial layer of dust.

There were finger-width cracks in both fireplaces.

The gypsum ceiling and walls were cracked, revealing the silvery-grey steel plates underneath.

Judging by the level of damage, it had to have been at least a magnitude 6 earthquake.

Considering her fortified room was in this state, the damage outside was self-explanatory.

Moreover, aftershocks aremmon after earthquakes.

It was uncertain whether the recent quake was just the beginning or if only minor aftershocks would follow.

By the looks of it, there were indeed capable people in the upper echelons of government.

Theyuld predict with such accuracy.

Far better than she, a person who had lived a snd lifetime.

Thinking about how her initial plans were disrupted by the sudden earthquake, Jiang Yan’s feelings were mixed.

“Jiang Yan!”

“Jiang Yan, open the door quickly!” It was Ye Qing’s voice.

Jiang Yan inhaled deeply, walked swiftly to the door, and opened it.

Dust hung heavy in the hallway.

Ye Qing stood there gravely.

He wore protective goggles and a mask, clutching two inflated square cushions and a mask tightly in his hand.

Handing her the mask, he said,

“Brother Tao said that once an earthquake occurs, things will only get worse. Grab the most essential items andme with us!”

The mask and goggles were indeed a temporary protection against a significant dust eunter during an earthquake.

As for the cushions, they were to prevent head injuries from falling objects.

One of them was obviously meant for Jiang Yan.

Seeing her helmet, he didn’t think much of it.

Living on an earthquake belt long-term, everyone had strong self-protection instincts.

Intermittent cries of shock and screams echoed from below, sounding panic-stricken.

Seeing that she hadn’t moved, Ye Qing became anxious. “Jiang Yan?!”

Jiang Yan sighed silently.

In the end, man’s plans are no match for fate’s.

So be it.

And in this situation, discussing whether to go with them was not an option; leaving was the priority.

With this thought, Jiang Yan didn’t want to be overly sentimental: “Okay, wait here for just a few snds.”

Finishing her sentence, she quickly headed back inside.

With a thought, she retrieved the inflatable boat.

Carrying the boat swiftly to the door, she said, “Ye Qing, take this with you, I’ll go back in and grab some luggage. I’ll be out immediately.”

In a situation with the outside world a vast ocean, a boat was naturally a must-have.

Though he also had a boat, it’s always better to have an extra one at hand.

“Okay! We’ve got a high-altitude escape rope, planning to descend from 3204’s window. Wait for me, I’ll be right back to help you!” Ye Qing, not daring to delay, quickly hoisted the boat over his shoulder and hurried toward 3204.

“Okay.” Jiang Yan nodded and turned back inside.

Given the current situation, it seemed sheuld only escape at sea with these few people.

Ofurse, that meant sheuldn’t readily take items out of the Space.

But just because you can’t readily take them doesn’t mean they can’t be taken.

Sheuldn’t just sit on a Space full of supplies and wait to die of hunger.

With that thought, two large, waterproof, durable, and inspicuous luggage bags were retrieved by her.
