Chapter 646 The Female Supporting Character Who Gave Gold Finger to the Apocalypse 9
"In this world, as long as there's enough profit, people aren't afraid of death, and selling out their country is even more common. If there was still a deterrent of extermination of nine generations of a clan in ancient times, the punishment now would be much lighter."
When the couple heard this, they sighed in unison and knew that it was indeed the case.
Although Xiao Yu didn't quite understand what was said, she got the general idea. Her expression changed from solidarity to sadness, which made Xiao Yun couldn't help but rub her head.
Xiao Yun said a few words to comfort them, then changed the subject. "No one can tell how much time is left. Even if everyone in those cities is evacuated, it won't stop those ghosts from appearing. Although City L is quite far from us, and there's also City T between us, we still have to prepare early."
Dad and Mom looked at each other, and Mom said, "How are we preparing? Stocking up on food and water? Your dad and I will go buy some!"
When the people of Longguo encounter a disaster, the first thing they think of is to store food and water, and thoroughly implement the spirit of "food is the people's first necessity".
As for leaving home to go to those safe cities mentioned in the news? I never thought about it. I have a ready-made "expert" to protect me at home, so why would I run and squeeze with others?
Xiao Yun quickly stopped the two people who were about to stand up and explained: "That's not it. Ghosts are not some kind of virus or natural disaster, and they won't contaminate food and water sources. At least before causing a large number of deaths, water, electricity, and gas should not be shut down.
What we need to do now is to discuss with the village cadres and appropriately reveal some of my abilities, so that when the ghosts come, at least they won't cause us trouble.
Of course, I can also set up a formation in the village to directly protect the entire village, but we can't do good deeds without leaving a name, right? I have to let them know that I have contributed, and these are all my merits.
Anyway, now that the national broadcaster has released the information, there's no need to worry about village officials not believing it. Originally, I was thinking about just protecting our own family and loved ones. It's not that I don't want to care about others, but I'm worried that people won't believe it and think we're mentally ill.
Now, the country has begun to publicly recruit people from the Xuanmen for help. I don’t really want to go to the capital or those cities to take charge. At that time, I will have to listen to other people’s orders, and I will probably be exhausted.
It’s better to stay at home. When our village is safe, people from other surrounding villages can come over. After all, our area is vast and sparsely populated.”
Xiao's mother hesitated, "Will setting up that formation hinder you? If so, then let's just ignore it and take care of ourselves."
Father Xiao also looked worried. If his daughter's safety was the cost, he would be going against his conscience. Regardless of the elders and villagers, he was unwilling to let his daughter take the risk.
"Don't worry, there's no problem. This formation can be set up in many ways. For example, if you want to deal with ordinary ghosts, you can use some stones and trees and place them in specific positions to set it up. You don't even need to use your own energy..."
Hearing her say this, the couple breathed a sigh of relief. That was good. As long as there was no danger, they could still help.
So the couple took her to the village committee. There were still people there at this time, but they were not working there. There was an activity center there. Everyone would go there after dinner to sing, square dance, and play cards.
Xiao Ma said that if you want to show off your skills, you should let everyone in the village see it. It won’t do if you only show it to a few village cadres.
By the time the family of four arrived at the village committee, the square outside was almost full of people. Today, for the first time ever, there was no square dance music, and everyone was chatting there.
Xiao Yun had good hearing and had already learned from the chats in several small groups that they also gathered together because of the news from the national TV station. Some of them were constantly checking the latest news online and occasionally reporting it to those who could not access the Internet.
When they approached, those who were on good terms with them greeted them, and those who were not so close to them would nod. After all, they were from the same village and basically everyone knew each other.
More people came behind them, and soon there were hundreds of people gathered. It was so crowded that it was like a market. Everyone was talking to each other, and in the end you couldn't hear what they were saying unless you shouted loudly.
"Hey, hey, um—everyone, please be quiet for a moment. Let me say a few words."
The loudspeakers installed at the four corners of the small square suddenly sounded, and everyone's voices paused for a few seconds, then started buzzing again.
"It's Liu Shui'er. Why did this guy turn on the loudspeaker? I thought it was the village chief."
"When did this kid come back? Wasn't he going to school? He started showing off as soon as he got to college. Why bother saying a few words to him~"
"It's not good at all. This guy is looking up at me now. He is very energetic when talking to me, and now he is acting like a big shot."
"Is he getting too close to you? He's really rebelling. He dared to take Qiao'er from my uncle. I'll have his dad beat him up!"
Xiao Yun's spiritual sense probed into the office. There were three people sitting inside. The two older ones were sitting at the table. One was constantly browsing his phone, and the other was frowning and smoking.
The other one is younger, about twenty years old, and is currently testing the sound with a microphone. He should be the Liu Shuier that those people are talking about.
Xiao Yun rummaged through his original body's memories and rolled his eyes secretly. These villagers were really something. They loved giving people nicknames. This guy's name was Liu Miao, the son of the women's director. The woman who just told his father to cut him was his mother.
He is the same age as his original self, but started school a year earlier, so he is already a junior this year. His school is in Z City, which is one of the seven cities. Could he have been evacuated?
For example, even if they are from the same village, if they are not relatives, neighbors or classmates, they usually don’t have any interactions, so two people of the same age just know each other at most, but have never spoken to each other.
She didn't know the person and it was not easy for her to go and ask directly, so she decided to wait and let her mother go and ask. It just so happened that the director of the women's department was her mother's card-playing friend.
Thinking of this, Liu Miao continued, "I know why everyone is gathered here. Is it about the evening news? I actually know this. I just came back from school this afternoon. Those of you who have watched the news should have noticed that our school was one of the schools evacuated from the city..."
Then he talked about the big movement over there, proving that the evacuation had indeed begun. He also felt that since the sacrifice two days ago, there has been no clear sky in City Z.
Even though it didn't rain, the sky was always gloomy, which made people feel very uncomfortable.
Xiao Yun couldn't help but think of the same situation in City L in his original body's memory. The sun was always blocked, gray and hazy, and there was no moon at night.
