Chapter 155 Ice Age Apocalypse: My Mom Stockpiled Billions in Supplies 22
"Listen up, people in the Beishi base! I'm Yang Jiu from the Jinshi base. I heard that a savior has come to your base, so I've come to see what's going on."
As soon as Yang Jiu finished speaking, the more than two hundred people behind him raised their weapons and aimed them at the Beishi base.
“Yang Jiu, I know you. Your father and I have met a few times. If you are here for exchange and learning, I would welcome you with open arms. But it’s not appropriate for you to bring so many people.”
Director Wang said loudly.
"Oh, it's Uncle Wang. I know you. But you can't blame me for what I did today. If your base hadn't locked up my mother-in-law, I wouldn't have made such a fuss, right?"
Yang Jiu responded casually, his playful grin making people's teeth itch with envy.
"By the way, my fiancée is Song Jianing, you should know her, right?"
Yang Jiu changed the subject and spoke again.
"What? I knew Song Jianing wasn't a good person."
Wang Lei was furious. He should have arrested Song Jianing when he arrested Liu Ying.
"Yang Jiu, you know perfectly well what Liu Ying did. I advise you to think twice before you act. If you don't back down, our cannons won't be blind."
Upon hearing Director Wang's words, Yang Jiu suddenly burst into laughter.
"Heh, Uncle Wang, everyone knows that when it comes to weapons, if we say we're second, no one dares to claim to be first. If you're going to try to fool me, don't use something as obvious as weapons."
Yang Jiu's eyes were full of mockery.
"That's right, these people in Taipei really don't take us seriously. Young Master Yang, why don't we use our miniature bombs to teach them a lesson?"
Yang Jiu's underling chimed in.
"No, how can you do this? We were in the right, but now you've made us lose all our rights."
Yang Jiu said exaggeratedly, his eyes darting around, and then, as if he had just thought of something, he spoke again.
"Uncle Wang, this savior belongs to the whole world, not just Beishi. How can you keep all that food to yourself? I heard you got several tons of grain, but you didn't distribute much to everyone. Did you put it all in your own pocket?"
As soon as Yang Jiu finished speaking, the people who had gathered at the Taipei base started discussing it.
"Hey, do you guys think what Yang Jiu said is true?"
"It's obviously fake. Just look at the size of that spaceship, can it really hold that much food? If it really does, where did it come from?"
"That's right, the benefits at our base are pretty good. I heard from people from other bases that there are even places outside that serve food."
The person speaking pinched his own fat, as if he had some concerns and dared not speak openly.
"Ah, that's terrible. It seems our Beishi base is better off. Although life is so-so, the people around us are all about the same, and nothing this bad has happened to us."
The person speaking looked extremely relieved.
Meanwhile, Yang Jiu, standing outside the wall, was becoming increasingly impatient.
He waved his hand lightly, and several people standing to his left and right stepped forward. They were all carrying a hiking backpack, which was bulging with contents that were unclear.
However, judging from Yang Jiu's smug expression, he's probably not a good person.
Seeing the group's movements, Director Wang on the outer wall gave a slight change in expression and made a firing command with his hand behind his back.
"Brush brush"
The outer wall was filled with the sounds of laser cannons firing, which corresponded to Yang Jiu and his group fleeing in a disheveled state.
"Holy crap, what are these things? How come those spies didn't reveal anything about them?"
"Wow, that's incredibly powerful! Back off! Everyone, back off!"
Yang Jiu looked at his bleeding arm and gave the order with a serious expression.
Seeing the people of Jinshi retreat in such a disheveled state, the people of Beishi cheered with joy.
"I thought we were going to suffer a lot this time."
"Yes, have you heard about what happened before? It was in City C, which is located in Jinshi. I heard that the whole city was wiped out."
"They're so brutal, they're so inhumane."
"Yes, so we are really lucky to be located in Taipei, and to have someone like Miss Si."
The young man who spoke said softly.
As for Si Yan, Director Wang kept thanking her.
"Comrade Si, thanks to you, otherwise it would have been impossible for us to get out unscathed."
Director Wang said with a sincere expression.
"Director Wang, there's no need to be so polite. I'm also part of the Taipei base. Protecting the base is also protecting ourselves."
Si Yan replied politely.
Seeing that everyone was alright, Si Yan was about to say goodbye and go back when suddenly someone rushed up from behind.
"Tianqi, are you alright? Your mom is really something, why did she call you to come along for something so dangerous?"
Lin Tianqi's hand was being held tightly by his mother. Out of politeness, he couldn't just push her away, so he could only ask her a question.
"Excuse me, Auntie, who are you? Do we know each other?"
"Of course I recognize you, you're my grandson."
Lin's mother said excitedly, completely forgetting that she had promised Lin Shushan that she would not disturb Si Yan and her daughter.
At this moment, a lot of onlookers were already standing around, and they all stared at Lin's mother in disbelief after hearing what she said.
"No, I must have heard correctly. But Dr. Lin has always been single. When did he suddenly have such a grown son?"
"I knew Lin Tianqi looked familiar; turns out he looks like Dr. Lin."
Lin Tianqi looked at Si Yan with a surprised expression.
"Mom, what's going on?"
Wang Lei and Li Sheng also had expressions of watching the drama unfold, and even Director Wang showed a look of surprise.
"Tianqi, what can your mother say? She must have schemed against your father to have you."
Lin's mother glanced at Si Yan with arrogance. Although Si Yan had given birth to her grandson, in her eyes, Si Yan was still someone who couldn't be presented to the world.
Lin Tianqi felt uncomfortable after hearing these words and was about to speak when he was interrupted by a slightly hurried voice behind him.
"Mom, have you forgotten what I said?"
Lin Shushan, who was slightly out of breath, hurriedly said.
After speaking, Lin Shushan glanced at Si Yan casually, but Si Yan's expression remained indifferent, showing no fluctuation.
“Son, I’m only doing this for your own good. With your temper, when will you ever be able to recognize your own flesh and blood?”
Lin's mother looked at Lin Shushan with a hurt expression. Who was she doing this for? Wasn't it all for him?
"Alright, I don't have time to watch you two being so affectionate. Please move aside, my son and I need to go back and have a heart-to-heart talk."
After Si Yan finished speaking, she pulled Lin Tianqi and walked out first.
"Hey, you're so rude! You..."
Before Lin's mother could say anything more, Lin Shushan quickly stopped her.
Seeing Lin Shushan's actions, Lin's mother was extremely angry.
"Forget it, I don't care anymore. I don't like this woman anyway, and what can her son possibly be? You decide what to do."
After saying that, Lin's mother stormed off.
Because of this dramatic scene, the remaining people all looked quite embarrassed.
Even though everyone was incredibly curious, none of them asked any questions. Instead, they all made excuses to leave, leaving Lin Shushan alone, lost in thought.
"Mom, tell me, what's going on?"
Back in the house, Lin Tianqi sat on the sofa and asked softly.
“Tianqi, don’t blame your mother. She was in a car accident before and forgot a lot of things, which is why she didn’t mention it to you. Besides, you saw it yourself, that family is not easy to get along with, and there’s no need to acknowledge them.”
After Si Lin returned, he was the first to come out and explain to Lin Tianqi.
"Mom, what about you? What do you think? Let me make my stance clear first: I'm an adult now, and I don't need fatherly love anymore. I hope you can do what you think is right."
Lin Tianqi didn't actually blame Si Yan; on the contrary, he felt a little sorry for her. Others might not know, but how could he not know? How could they possibly understand the hardships his mother had endured over the years?
"Tianqi, don't worry, Mom didn't take those words to heart at all. But I'm sorry, I've never told you about your biological father. If you have other ideas, Mom won't stop you."
Si Yan spoke softly.
"No, I don't have that idea."
Lin Tianqi shook his head repeatedly. He was an adult, not a child anymore. Did they really want to ask him whether he should live with his father or mother?
While Si Yan was still communicating with Lin Tianqi, Song Jianing and Liu Ying, who had already left the base, met up with Yang Jiu.
"Brother Yang Jiu, what's wrong with you?"
Seeing Yang Jiu's clothes stained with blood, Song Jianing looked distressed.
"It's nothing serious, just a minor injury. But we can't stay in Taipei. We need to go back to Tianjin first, and we also need to report the situation here to my dad as soon as possible."
Yang Jiu said calmly, his phoenix eyes filled with a chilling coldness.
"Jia Ning, I'll need you and Auntie to tell my dad about Si Yan's situation later."
Yang Jiu gritted his teeth and uttered Si Yan's name. It was clear that today, it was that woman's fault that he had to flee in such a sorry state.
These are things that cannot be researched even under normal social order.
Is it possible to research something under these circumstances?
Yang Jiu dared to swear on his life that it was absolutely impossible.
Due to their carelessness, Yang Jiu's team suffered heavy losses this time, and at least when they returned, the rear convoy was almost empty.
Si Yan had finally gotten past Lin Tianqi's hurdle and was just about to take a break when she heard the voice of System Xiao Qi.
[Warning! Warning! A super cold wave is approaching. Without a protective shield, the entire country of China will be plunged into an ice age, and no life will exist.]
what?
Si Yanteng stood up from the sofa with a shout.
"Little sister, what's wrong? Is there a problem? Didn't we just talk things out with Tianqi?"
Looking at Si Yan's serious expression, Si Lin asked in confusion.
"Brother, the situation is urgent. I'll go back to my room to prepare first, and I'll explain everything to you in detail when I'm ready."
After Si Yan finished speaking, she went straight back to her room, leaving Lin Tianqi and the others in the living room standing up at a loss.
"Uncle, has something happened? I rarely see Mom with this expression."
Lin Shuqi asked softly.
"I don't know. For now, we just need to guard the door and prevent anyone from disturbing her."
Si Lin glanced at Si Yan's tightly closed door, then turned to Lin Tianqi and gave him some instructions.
Si Yan, lying on the bed in the room, closed her eyes and returned to the system space.
[Xiaoqi, how long until the super cold wave arrives?]
[Host, you will enter China in 48 hours and remain there for a week.]
Si Yan frowned after hearing this.
Time is running out; we need to act quickly.
Thinking of this, Si Yan urgently contacted Xiao Yu from the high-tech dimension.
[Xiaoyu, do you have any transparent protective shields where you are? The kind that can block out cold waves?]
【Hi, we do have that too, but it requires a lot of energy. Our planet can't cope with the high temperatures because it lacks energy.】
What kind of energy does it require?
Si Yan quickly searched through her personal space. From spirit stones to ice crystals, she had plenty of these. If that was all she needed, then there would be no problem for her.
[It's a type of blue cryolite. I'll send you a picture; you can see it's like this.]
Si Yan clicked on the picture, and after just one glance, she chuckled softly.
"Isn't this just a low-grade spirit stone?"
The stone emitting a faint blue light in the picture is the spirit stone that Si Yan obtained when she was in the cultivation world, and it was a low-grade spirit stone.
[Xiaoyu, how many of you have this kind of service? How much area can it cover?]
We have hundreds of protective shields, but since we lack energy stones, they are all just sitting idle, piled up together. Each shield has the same coverage area, approximately one thousand square kilometers.
"So big?" Si Yan was very excited after hearing this.
Okay, Xiaoyu, give me as much as you can. This time, I'll trade you energy stones.
[Really? I knew you were my lucky star! Wait, I'll teleport you over right away.]
After Xiaoyu finished speaking, he took action. The high-level leaders of his plane were extremely excited and immediately arranged for someone to take Xiaoyu to the place where the protective shield was placed.
"Let's put this and that at the exchange counter. The young lady will definitely need them."
Xiaoyu is now giving them machines that operate using energy stones, including generators and large lighting equipment—things that Siyan will need.
Si Yan was constantly exchanging supplies in the spatial system. Thinking about the upcoming super cold wave, she also exchanged for a lot of food.
"Alright, now even if I'm gone, these things will be enough for them to live into the new century."
Looking at the space filled with supplies, Si Yan smiled knowingly. Now she was finally less anxious.
However, thinking of the many survivors in various parts of China, Si Yan divided the supplies into several portions.
But the people outside are unaware that a devastating disaster is about to strike.
