Apocalypse: After Being Reborn, I Stocked Up on All Supplies-Chapter 170 - : Survival at Sea: Forming a Temporary Team

Chapter 170: Chapter 170: Survival at Sea: Forming a Temporary Team

Ye Qing reflected on Song Qian’s words, thinking of the human specimens in the proportions of gold that she and Jiang Yan had seen in the warehouse on the 31st floor, her brow furrowed ever so slightly.

“Metal, wood, water, fire, earth? Isn’t that a bit too mystical?!” Su Dai’s expression became stunned, and her previous despair was suddenly pulled back.

She had wanted to continue questioning, but seeing that her husband and the others, including Jiang Yan, didn’t react much, she forcibly held back her words.

Looking around at the dilapidated surroundings, Su Dai’s eyes momentarily stilled.

Interactions between people most dread shallow acquaintance, yet deep conversation.

The explosive information tossed by the other party seemed to contain elements of a conspiracy.

But at this moment, what mattered a conspiracy or an overt plan?

Whether or not they would see tomorrow’s sun was unknown.

Their current primary goal was just to stay alive.

Not to play the role of a messiah uncovering conspiracies.

They didn’t have the ability to do that…

Thinking this, Su Dai tightened her grip on Sun Jingtao’s arm.

Song Qian, however, didn’t pick up on her words; he smiled, shook his head, and stood up.

He glanced at the sky and took off the tactical watch from his wrist to start adjusting it with seriousness.

Jiang Yan gave him a sidelong glance, silent.

There was something secretive about this man, a blend of good and evil.

Moreover, all the people from Golden Shield Security in the sky hotel were dead.

They had rescued those detainees.

Even if they didn’t know about the gold on the rooftop.

Mo Jingsheng should have at least asked a thing or two.

Not only that, but he had specifically arranged for two people to escort them to East Mountain.

That kid, Kong Wu, seemed a bit off, probably a rookie.

But the other one was Anming City’s top sharpshooter, Song Qian.

Whether he was truly the best, she didn’t know, but something seemed off.

But what exactly, she couldn’t pinpoint.

Forget it; best to observe how things unfold.

“Jiang Yan, what are you looking at?” Ye Qing, noticing her staring at Song Qian’s back, asked quietly.

“Nothing.” Jiang Yan shook her head, withdrawing her gaze and thoughts.

Sun Jingtao didn’t speak either.

He stood up, took out two towels from the luggage, and handed them to Su Dai and Jiang Yan, “Wipe your hair, be careful of catching a cold.”

“Thank you,” said Jiang Yan as she took it from him.

“Everyone hold on tight, another aftershock is coming!” Song Qian suddenly called out.

Jiang Yan looked up and sure enough, a large wave was forming not far away.

The surface of the water started to surge again.

No sooner had one trouble subsided than another had arisen.

This round of the earthquake lasted more than a minute, as usual.

The group wasn’t shaken apart again.

This time, the towels in Jiang Yan’s and Su Dai’s hands were completely drenched and could be wrung out.

Luckily, they didn’t bother drying themselves anymore.

Jiang Yan’s mask was also soaked, so she simply took it off.

The supplies originally secured inside the cabin had been scattered too, Sun Jingtao and Ye Qing rose to secure them again.

“Looking at the direction from which the waves are coming, it seems this earthquake originated right in the city center. Fortunately, we are now farther away,” Song Qian said, furrowing his brows as he looked into the distance and quietly let out a sigh of relief.

Then he turned around.

His gaze paused when he swept over Jiang Yan.

Seeing her in a red helmet, his serious face suddenly broke into a smile, “I thought you were some young brother from a construction site. I didn’t expect you to be a girl.”

Jiang Yan had been fully clothed and masked the whole time.

After returning, she had put on a black unisex down jacket, completely wrapping herself up.

Song Qian had only been more acquainted with Sun Jingtao.

He hadn’t paid much attention to the others.

Now that he saw her true face, although his words were playful, he was surprised inwardly.

After all, unlike Sun Jingtao’s wife, she was one of the people who had participated in the operation at the sky hotel.

Previously, she appeared to have a heroic demeanor.

But she was too thin and frail-looking.

Jiang Yan didn’t explain but went along with his words, “Indeed from a construction site, an archivist.”

Ye Qing: “…”

“Ah. Which construction site has such a beautiful archivist? I, Kong Wu, would be willing to work without food or drink just to carry bricks for twenty-four hours!

Ah, no, that’s not right! I could work non-stop three hundred and sixty-five days a year, five days a week plus weekends!” Kong Wu, standing by and eyeing Jiang Yan, said with earnest, thumping his chest.

Song Qian slapped him, feigning anger, “At such a young age, you’ve learned nothing good, always smooth-talking.”

Kong Wu looked wronged, “Brother Song, where am I smooth-talking? Look at how my lips are so dry they’re almost peeling! Don’t believe me, look!”

As he spoke, he puckered his lips and moved closer to Song Qian.

Song Qian stretched out a palm with a repulsed face and pushed him away.

Seeing Kong Wu’s clownish manners, those who had just survived calamity couldn’t help but laugh as well.

“Pfft—” Su Dai couldn’t help but laugh out loud.

Looking at the sky, Song Qian said, “The sun should be out in another two or three minutes.” He paused his words and looked everyone over:

“Speaking of which, aside from Brother Sun, it seems we don’t know each other. Since we are fated to journey together, let’s take this opportunity to get to know each other.”

Saying this, Song Qian sat down in front of everyone and said, “I’ll go first. My name is Song Qian, Song from the Song Dynasty and Qian from the universe. From Northern Jing City, but I’ve been in Anming all these years, so I’m half an Anming person.”

Hearing this, Jiang Yan’s eyebrows slightly raised.

If she remembered correctly, Mo Jingsheng was also from Northern Jing City.

Hopefully, it’s just a coincidence.

“Send money… Song Qian… Brother Song, your name is quite easy to remember,” Su Dai said, then introduced herself, “Su as in Suzhou, Dai as in the verdant hills.”

“Ye Qing, leaf as in the leaf of a tree, Qing as in clear water.”

“Kong Wu, Kong as in peacock, Wu as in the number five, gender male, hobby female.”

Kong Wu paused, then laughed awkwardly:

“My parents originally thought to name me Kong Wu for strength, but due to illiteracy, they made a mistake. You can just call me Xiao Wu, but please don’t slip up and call me Xiao Wulang or anything…”

Everyone: “…”

“Jiang Yan, Jiang as in Jiang Ziya—” Jiang Yan was halfway through when Kong Wu interrupted:

“I guess the Yan in miss’s name is from ‘a hundred flowers competing in beauty’, most beautiful girls are named with that character!”

Jiang Yan smiled, “No, it’s Yan as in ‘showing you some colors’.”

“…” The expectant Kong Wu choked, scraping his foot on the ground, scratching his head.

Sun Jingtao and the others laughed, knowing her intention for giving a false name.

“Jiang Yan?” Song Qian didn’t smile but looked sharply at Jiang Yan.

He was about to inquire when Ye Qing had already shifted the topic:

“Brother Tao, Brother Song, seeing these aftershocks aren’t decreasing in strength, I’m afraid we need to hurry and leave Anming as soon as possible!”
