Apocalypse: After Being Reborn, I Stocked Up on All Supplies

Chapter 244: Chapter 244: Mo Jingsheng, Wants to See Her?

Xue Chengcheng was escorted to the emergency room of the Underground City amidst a crowd.

The noisy corridor instantly fell silent.

If Jiang Yan hadn’t given instructions earlier, Hua Bao would have taken the person’s life without hesitation.

But, letting the person die would have been too easy for him and it might have brought trouble onto ourselves.

Instead, it might be better to let him become a vegetable for a while.

Hua Bao’s Vine had the ability to penetrate through orifices, from the nostrils to the brain, with ease.

Su Dai, still shaken, closed the door and picked up the paper that Xue Chengcheng had dropped on the floor.

Jiang Yan glanced at it.

The light was dim, and the image on the page was black and white, but she recognized at once it was a woman.

A beautiful woman with clear eyes, white teeth, and a head of wavy curls.

Double eyelids, a high nose bridge, and deep-set eyes—she had an exotic look.

Remembering the “Jiang Nana” that Xue Chengcheng had mentioned, Jiang Yan’s eyelids twitched involuntarily.

This name, and that appearance, could it be related to Jiang Ye…

“Jiang Yan, let me take you to Song Qian,” said Su Dai, seeing the slight frown on Jiang Yan’s brow, thinking she was worried about being bothered by Xue Chengcheng later.

Jiang Yan gave a smile: “No need, we are safe for now.”

Su Dai: “?”

“He’s likely to be lying in the ICU for a year and a half.” After Jiang Yan spoke, she sighed: “It looks like this base’s Underground City isn’t as safe as Song Qian and the others have claimed.”

Su Dai did not understand why she said Xue Chengcheng would be in the ICU for a while, but she had never doubted Jiang Yan’s words.

After a second of stupor, she sighed, “Living in this Underground City, you can’t die, but you can’t live well either.”

“If it weren’t for Sun Jingtao and Xiao Ye…” Su Dai’s eyes reddened again.

Jiang Yan was already planning to ask about the two, so now she took the opportunity to ask, “By the way, they…”

Su Dai shared their status, much like what Kong Wu had said.

The difference was, Sun Jingtao would be discharged and return after another half month.

And the job Su Dai had found for herself was as a hospital nursing aide and cleaner in the base’s Underground City, working in three shifts.

Yes, such a position was something she had never thought about before the apocalypse.

She then asked about Jiang Yan’s situation since leaving Xiangcheng.

Jiang Yan, as always, shared the same story she had told Kong Wu.

It was roughly about encountering a powerful benefactor who gave her a lift.

Su Dai listened, confused.

But in the end, she did not press for details.

Just like Kong Wu, as long as one could live well, that was the best.

“I work with many other halves of top scientists,” Su Dai suddenly mentioned, as if struck by a thought.

Jiang Yan found it somewhat incredible: “Top scientists?”

“Inside, many are actually scientists or highly educated intellectuals.”

“You’re talking about within the nursing and cleaning staff?”

Su Dai nodded: “Yeah.”

Jiang Yan: “…”

“Only, I am driven by the necessities of life, earning points while also taking care of Sun Jingtao’s side. They are forced, watched over by armed guards while working.

Clothing, food, shelter, and travel are all controlled in one place, not much different from being under house arrest.”

The more Jiang Yan heard, the more absurd it seemed. “Then where are those scientists?”

As the lowest on the totem pole, they only had access to fragmented information.

What exactly was happening above, they had no idea. That’s why it all sounded very chaotic.

“I don’t know, I only know that when the catastrophe first struck, these people, along with their families, were taken away immediately. The scientists were sent to a secret location, while their families were brought here. It’s a bit like, holding them as hostages.”

“However, that’s not important. Once a month I’m rotated to the SNP laboratory to clean, and when I’m there, I’ll find an opportunity to contact Ye Qing and tell him that you’re still alive.”

“You can see him?” Jiang Yan’s eyes brightened.

“I should be able to, I’ll try my best.” Su Dai nodded, “He would be overjoyed to know you’re still alive.”

“Jiang Yan, have you eaten anything?” Su Dai stood up, rummaged through a box, and took out a bag of compressed biscuits.

Jiang Yan nodded: “Yes, I have eaten, but aren’t you going back to work this afternoon?”

“Yes, I’m going back in a bit. Wait for me; eating these compressed biscuits alone can be a bit dry, I’ll get some water.” Su Dai got up somewhat awkwardly, picked up a water bottle from the table, and went into the bathroom.

Yes, the bathroom.

Inside, there was a very small washbasin and a normal faucet.

Because of the internal setup of the entire base, the water pipes didn’t freeze, and because the snow was incessantly melting, they didn’t lack water either.

Only the water flow in this residential area was very weak because of the pump and power supply.

“Make do with this to moisten your throat.” Su Dai turned around and came out, poured a cup for Jiang Yan, and then tore open the bag, handing her a piece, “Try eating some more.”

“Okay.” Jiang Yan didn’t refuse, took it, and then, opened her own backpack, taking out a few packs of self-heating braised beef rice:

“These are supplies left by that benefactor I met earlier, I still have a few boxes left, these are for you.”

Su Dai refused emphatically, but eventually couldn’t resist Jiang Yan’s persuasion and accepted them, moved to the point of tears.

It left Jiang Yan feeling quite uncomfortable inside.

After chatting idly for a while, Su Dai stood up and left.

Jiang Yan didn’t linger in her room, heading back to her own rented accommodation.

As usual, she checked around to ensure there were no surveillance devices before lying down on the bed.

Staring at the small room that looked like a jail cell, she recalled everything that had happened since the apocalypse, the sight of Su Dai moved to tears by a few boxes of self-heating rice, and the matters that Song Qian had said…

Jiang Yan found herself lost in deep thought.

In the period that followed, Jiang Yan took advantage of the Underground City’s doors being open during daylight to return to the surface several times.

Indeed, as Song Qian had said, the blizzards came again and were even more severe than before.

The kind where one couldn’t open their eyes.

The temperature dropped by another dozen degrees.

She hadn’t encountered Jiang Ye again.

That Xue Chengcheng went back and never returned.

According to Su Dai, he had damaged his brain and now lay like a vegetable in the Underground City’s high-end ward.

Indeed, the Xue Family came again a few times with Jiang Nana’s picture, searching in vain, and then no one came after that.

Subsequently, a bunch of people flooded into the Underground City.

Reportedly a lightning storm had arrived, and all the ground city’s buildings were destroyed, a mass of mutated rats and animals swarmed into the ground city area.

Afterwards, the entrance to the Underground City was completely sealed.

Jiang Yan didn’t just stay put in her room and Space.

With the help of Song Qian, she casually found a relatively relaxed job that allowed her to wander about.

And Hua Bao, invisible, stayed by her side, using his invisibility and wall-penetrating abilities, to thoroughly scout many places.

Having learned from past experiences, Jiang Yan would give herself a simple disguise every day before going out, making herself look unattractive.

During this time, Song Qian came to visit her a few times, bringing her and Su Dai some food.

But he didn’t bring up the matter of inviting her to collaborate again.

One night, just before dawn, she was about to enter the Space to rest when someone knocked on the door.

“Jiang Yan, have you gone to bed yet?” It was Song Qian, speaking very softly.

Jiang Yan pretended to be drowsy and opened the door, “What’s up so late, has something happened?”

“Leader Mo has arrived, just got to the base.”

Jiang Yan was somewhat puzzled: “Leader Mo?”

“Mo Jingsheng.” Song Qian looked a bit embarrassed, and then said:

“He said he wants to meet you, do you mind coming with me right now?”
