Apocalypse: After Being Reborn, I Stocked Up on All Supplies-Chapter 166 - : Strange Statue
Chapter 166: Chapter 166: Strange Statue
“Wife, where is Zhou Wei’s family?” Sun Jingtao also noticeably sensed something was off with Apartment 3203 and asked his wife.
Ye Qing was also puzzled.
She guessed that the entire family must have followed the large ship, but the several puddles of fresh blood at the door looked quite alarming.

Su Dai’s eyes darkened, “Let’s go inside to pack and talk, didn’t you say the people downstairs gave us only an hour?”
An hour was neither long nor short.
Everything in their house had already been packed.
Packing up was quick, but what they could take was ultimately limited; they just needed to reselect a few things.
It was just a pity about that newly built clay stove, not even used once or twice before they had to abandon it.
And those newly planted vegetables.
Su Dai planned to pack even the soil and the seeds together in plastic bags to take with them.
As for those grown hydroponically in bottles and jars, she collected them as usual.
These items were precious commodities at the moment.
Whether or not they would survive was another matter.
Thinking of this, she looked at Jiang Yan, “Jiang Yan, once you’ve packed your materials, come join us at our place, and if there’s anything heavy, call them to help you.”
When Sun Jingtao had just mentioned that they were taking Mo Jingsheng’s ferry to East Mountain, he hadn’t mentioned that Jiang Yan wouldn’t be going.
She had subconsciously assumed that they would all be moving together.
After all, during this period, everyone had been coming and going together.
“I still have things to handle in Anming, so I won’t be accompanying you,” Jiang Yan straightforwardly stated.
“Ah?” Su Dai was momentarily stunned, about to ask for details when shouts like “Oh my God!” and “I’m going,” erupted from downstairs.
The noise came simultaneously from all five buildings of the complex.
They instinctively moved quickly to the window.
Looking at the scene outside, they were all startled.
In the once peaceful central garden, clusters of large fish were leaping out of the water.
The sheer number was astonishing.
From other buildings, some people, already seeming eager, had put on life jackets and with nets in hand, started going into the water.
The temperature outside was around one or two degrees, but that did not deter their determination to go fishing.
“Look, there are birds in the sky!” Su Dai looked up at the sky with a face full of astonishment.
Everyone looked up to see a dense flock of black birds flying overhead.
Since the end of the high temperatures, this was their first time seeing living creatures flying in the sky.
“It’s not birds, it’s bats,” Sun Jingtao frowned deeply.
Bats usually lived in caves and having survived the extreme high temperatures previously wasn’t unexpected.
“Could it be that earthquake they talked about is coming sooner?” As soon as Ye Qing spoke, Su Dai playfully slapped her lightly, joking, “Xiao Ye, don’t jinx us…”
Jiang Yan’s heart sank too.
There were even times when colorful lights appeared in space, commonly known as earthquake lights, particularly blue, white, and red lights.
However, by the time the lights appeared, the earthquake was likely imminent, not providing as much advance warning as animals.
Later on, everyone’s phones were automatically equipped with earthquake alert functions, and living in the city also contributed to less attention paid to these natural warning signs.
In her memories of her previous life, the earthquake occurred after the surface water had frozen, entering a severely cold and snowy weather.
It seemed, in this life, the order of natural disasters was changing.
Jiang Yan thought so, silently taking a deep breath.
“I actually wish I could be a prophet, so I could foresee everything and protect everyone,” Ye Qing said, glancing at Jiang Yan.
He pursed his lips, finally mustering the courage to say,
“Jiang Yan, why don’t you come with us?”
If there were no new natural disasters, he believed that Jiang Yan, with her capabilities, could definitely fare well on her own.
But if there were an earthquake, high-rise residences would become the most dangerous places.
With the sea outside and no shelter within, where could she go?
Was she supposed to float on the water in an inflatable boat, playing a female version of Robinson Crusoe?
What if she encountered a few bad people, or worse, a group?
After all, even her handgun, as intimidating as it was, had its limits on ammunition.
Not to mention, there were food issues to worry about.
“Yeah, Jiang Yan, let’s go together,” Su Dai grabbed Jiang Yan’s hand, eyes filled with hope.
“Brother Sun, let’s move out first! We’ll drive back in later,” downstairs, Song Qian and a warrior who was steering the boat also noticed Sun Jingtao and others at the staircase window.
They had obviously noticed the strange phenomena in the water and the sky.
“Alright!”
Sun Jingtao twisted his brows and turned to look at Jiang Yan earnestly, “It’s really not safe for you alone. How about this, think it over for a bit longer, we’ll first go home to pack our materials, and come for you later.”
This wasn’t the moment to waste time on redundant words.
After all, Song Qian and the others were still waiting downstairs.
“Alright.” Not wanting to further delay others, Jiang Yan bid them goodbye and returned to her apartment.
Before leaving, she had taken everything in her house into the Space, which now, at a glance, felt emptily barren.
Speaking of gold bricks, Jiang Yan just then remembered she had also taken a glass box containing Tai Sui into the Space.
She checked with her mind.
The glass box now containing Tai Sui had been automatically placed by the Space right at the intersection of the phantom creek and the Spiritual Spring.
