Chapter 594: Transaction with Fang Ningshuang
The original Shangjiang base was neat and orderly, with a total of ten floors, each floor had different functions, but now nearly half of the base area has been destroyed, especially the agricultural layer.
The whole base was filled with a sad atmosphere, and the people inside could always see sad expressions on their faces, as if there was a breath of despair hanging over everyone's heart.
Meng Ren's heart was full of sadness. Although he had guessed that a base like Shangjiang Base, which was completely built underground, would be seriously damaged due to the earthquake, he was still surprised to see it so serious.
The previous Shangjiang base had a population of at least 2,000, but now there are less than 1,500 left.
This means that in the earthquake disaster more than ten days ago, the death toll in Shangjiang base exceeded 500.
This is already a very terrifying number!
Meng Ren didn't pay too much attention to it. He touched Fang Ningshuang's hand through telekinesis.
On the bed, Fang Ningshuang, who was originally sleeping and resting, opened her eyes instantly.
"Who?"
Fang Ningshuang looked around vigilantly, with a cold look in her eyes.
Who took advantage of her sleep to touch her?
Hualala!
A sound of running water instantly attracted Fang Ningshuang's attention.
The water in the cup on the table next to him suddenly surged, then floated up directly, and formed a line of words in the air.
[I, Meng Ren, open the door! ]
Uh!
Seeing this line of words, Fang Ningshuang couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, and then her vigilant expression gradually relaxed.
"Come here!"
Someone came in immediately from outside: "Deputy leader."
"I have a friend visiting outside the base, you go and bring him in!"
"His name is Meng Ren!" Fang Ningshuang said.
The man nodded: "Okay."
Surface!
Meng Ren opened his eyes again, and thinking of Fang Ningshuang's vigilance and nervousness just now, he couldn't help but smile.
He didn't have to wait too long. After a while, the gate of the base was opened, and a man walked out from inside and walked quickly towards Meng Ren.
"Hello, is this Mr. Meng?"
"Yes!" Meng Ren nodded.
The man smiled: "Sorry, I've kept Mr. Meng waiting for so long. The deputy chief is recovering in the ward. Please follow me!"
Meng Ren tapped his chin lightly, and then followed the man into the Shangjiang base.
The two walked down the stairs and went deep into the underground. The man explained: "I'm sorry, because of the earthquake a few days ago, the elevators in the entire base have been damaged. Now we can only take the stairs!"
Meng Ren's face was indifferent. He had already discovered this problem when he sensed the base before.
The current Shangjiang base is basically in a semi-disabled state. It is basically impossible to restore it to its peak unless there is external assistance.
Under the guidance of the man, Meng Ren came all the way to the bottom of the base.
Dong! Dong! Dong!
The man knocked on Fang Ningshuang's door, and a voice soon came from inside.
"Come in!"
With a slight creak, Meng Ren pushed the door open and walked in. As soon as he entered the door, he saw Fang Ningshuang, who was still a little weak, lying on the bed.
"Chief Meng, I'm sorry!" Fang Ningshuang took the initiative to speak.
Her breath was obviously weak, and her sickly appearance was very different from her usual iceberg beauty.
"Deputy Chief Fang is too polite. I came here today to get some information!"
"Of course, I didn't get this information for free. There is a person in my camp who has the ability to heal."
"I can let her help you heal your body. In exchange, you tell me the information I want to know!"
This instantly attracted Fang Ningshuang's attention.
"Chief Meng's subordinates actually have such a capable person?" Fang Ningshuang's expression was obviously moved.
She didn't hesitate: "Okay, I agree. As long as it is not confidential intelligence information, I can tell you!"
Meng Ren smiled slightly, and the two sides reached a verbal agreement.
"A few days ago, a terrible earthquake suddenly occurred. I want to know if the earthquake only occurred in Shangjiang City, or in other places?" Meng Ren said.
Fang Ningshuang's face was slightly serious, and then she uttered two words: "Global."
What?
When this was said, Meng Ren couldn't help but be shocked.
"Global, how is this possible!"
"If it is global, doesn't it mean that the whole earth is shaking during an earthquake? This is impossible!" Meng Ren frowned.
Although he is not a highly educated person, he is not an idiot to this extent.
A planet is shaking at an astonishing degree. What kind of power can reach such a degree?
However, when Meng Ren said this, Fang Ningshuang looked at him as if he was a fool.
"Mr. Meng, you don't think that the world today is the same as the world before, do you?"
"You have mastered telekinesis yourself, isn't this a special power?" Fang Ningshuang said indifferently.
Meng Ren: "..."
"So you mean supernatural power? Wait, then the Extreme Heat Era is also a supernatural power!"
"How much information do you know?"
Meng Ren realized the seriousness of the problem.
He had learned that people in the upper circle had already known the news in advance before the Extreme Heat Era came, and built survivor bases in each city.
But now it seems that there are more secrets behind the Extreme Heat Era than what I guessed?
"Have you received any information about this earthquake in advance?" Meng Ren asked.
Fang Ningshuang nodded: "In fact, we have known about earthquakes before, so all survivor bases were built with earthquake issues in mind."
"It's just that we didn't expect it to be an earthquake, not an earthquake!"
"The power of the earthquake was far greater than that of the earthquake, causing huge losses!"
I actually knew the news in advance!
Meng Ren was puzzled, how did the higher-ups know?
How many secrets are there in this world that you don’t know?
"How do you know that the era of extreme heat and earthquakes are coming?" Meng Ren couldn't help but ask.
This time Fang Ningshuang shook her head: "I don't know either!"
"I'm afraid you can only ask the higher-ups with this question. With my authority, I don't have access to secrets of this level!"
Meng Ren took a deep look at Fang Ningshuang. He was not sure whether the other party was deceiving him.
"Okay, then let me change the question!"
"When will the next catastrophe be? Will the extreme heat era continue to worsen?" Meng Ren asked two questions in one breath.
However, Fang Ningshuang still shook her head: "I don't know either!"
"Chief Meng, I'm afraid you overestimate my authority a little too much."
"I'm just the deputy leader of an ordinary survivor base."
