Chapter 41 Got it, another capable person (1/2)

Ye Ling and Ye Jinyan watched quietly, neither of them saying a word.

It was Ye Ling's idea to have Wen Yanchen talk to Zhao Xin. She said that the third brother had a handsome but cold face and a strong sense of aloofness when he was not speaking, which would easily scare Zhao Xin away.

Wen Yanchen is different. Although he is a cunning fox, he appears gentle and refined, making him perfect for social situations.

As expected, Zhao Xin lowered his guard around Wen Yanchen, hesitated for a moment, and asked him, "Where is safe now? Or do you know where I can take a car to leave the capital?"

Didn't they see the blood on their clothes? Or were they simply not afraid of him at all?

Wen Yanchen pointed to the heavy snowfall: "Aren't you cold? It's -17 degrees Celsius outside. I think this topic is better discussed in the car. Let's get in."

After being reminded, Zhao Xin realized that his hands and feet were numb from the cold. Without hesitation, he quickly went forward, opened the back door, and got in.

Ye Ling sat in the passenger seat while Ye Jinyan drove. They both turned to Zhao Xin and nodded: "Hello, my name is Ye Ling, and this is my third brother, Ye Jinyan."

Zhao Xin sat down properly and nodded to Ye Ling and the other person: "Hello, my name is Zhao Xin. Thank you for letting me into the car."

Wen Yanchen chuckled softly as he sat to the side, then took out an unopened bag of bread and handed it to him: "My name is Wen Yanchen. Eat something first, we'll talk later."

Then he said to Ye Jinyan, "Since the shelters are all full, let's go to the villas over there and see if we can find a place to rest temporarily."

"Okay. Fasten your seatbelts."

Ye Jinyan stepped on the gas and left.

Zhao Xin was so hungry that he finished a large piece of bread in just a few bites. He wiped his mouth and thanked them again, saying, "Thank you for the bread. If I have the chance in the future, I will definitely repay your kindness."

Wen Yanchen: "You're too kind, it's just a piece of bread. There are more in the car, you can have another one."

As he spoke, he took out another bag and handed it to him. Zhao Xin didn't stand on ceremony. He took it but didn't eat it. Instead, he carefully put it into his backpack.

He looked at Wen Yanchen: "Can you tell me what's going on outside? We hid in the shelter this morning and know very little about what's happening outside."

Wen Yanchen pointed out the car window: "As you can see, the power supply is completely paralyzed, and many houses have collapsed. The only people still able to walk around outside are soldiers."

The earthquake triggered a tsunami, which in turn caused a typhoon and a drop in temperature. So, there was an unprecedented snowstorm in August.

He looked at Zhao Xin: "Oh, by the way, there are now some strange species outside. To put it simply, they are mutated animals and plants. The reason I use the word 'strange' is because they are so bizarre and ugly after they mutate."

Be careful when you walk around outside; they are very strong fighters. Many people were eaten by them today.

Wen Yanchen described it calmly, but Zhao Xin listened with trepidation, his brows furrowed.

He gleaned four important pieces of information from the other person's words.

First, the complete power outage means that the capital is not as safe as previously reported online, and the damage is far more severe than imagined. Otherwise, given the speed of power transmission in China, it would be impossible to leave the capital without power for a whole day unless the damage was extremely serious.

Second; those currently operating outside are all soldiers, which means that the military has taken full responsibility for the damage caused by this natural disaster.

The ability for the military to fully intervene in a city is only possible during the outbreak of war.

The soldiers' presence wasn't just about disaster relief; it was also about clearing obstacles. And these obstacles were the strange creatures Mr. Wen mentioned.

Third; the chain reaction caused by the earthquake will kill many people. Everyone thought that only a terrible earthquake would occur, but no one expected the rapid drop in temperature.

The temperature dropped to -17 degrees Celsius on the first day after the earthquake. At this rate, the temperature will drop to above -40 degrees Celsius in just a few days.

This precipitous drop in temperature will take many lives, including his own.

Fourth; the mutations in animals and plants were also the most important and terrifying information to him.

Animal mutations alone can cause the collapse of human social systems, leaving humans vulnerable.
