Chapter 154 Ice Age Apocalypse: My Mom Stockpiled Billions in Supplies 21
"Great! The solar energy has been surging lately. If it weren't for the extreme cold ice blocks from last time, we wouldn't have been able to hold on until now. Xiaoyu, tell them that we want as many extreme cold ice blocks as they have."
The leader of the high-tech dimension spoke up.
Xiao Yu nodded excitedly upon hearing this.
Luckily, I have what the girl needs.
No, I need to choose carefully. I need to send some of the cars, weapons, and other items to the young lady as well.
Si Yan was currently taking stock of the things in her space. The food had already filled up area one, so she didn't need to exchange for it for the time being. Other daily necessities were also piled up like a mountain.
As soon as Si Yan turned around, she saw mountains of ice blocks piled up in Zone 3. These were all collected into her space when she went out last time. Thinking that the people in the high-tech dimension liked them so much, Si Yan decided to give them more teleportation points this time.
However, neither of them knew that they had both thought of the same thing.
Seeing the transmission light come on, Si Yan quickly clicked "receive".
In an instant, brightly colored and cool-looking off-road vehicles appeared in area five of Si Yan's space.
"Wait, there are more than just cars."
Si Yan looked at the various weapons next to the car and said in surprise.
After Si Yan teleported the extremely cold ice block over, the voice of System Xiao Qi rang out in the space.
[Host, you're really lucky; you even found an opportunity to earn merit like this.]
System Xiaoqi looked at the merit points that had just been credited to her account and said enviously.
[Oh, did you get it from a high-tech dimension?]
Si Yan asked curiously.
Yes, in their original timeline, this high-tech dimension would have been destroyed due to water scarcity, extreme heat, and other factors. However, because of the ice you transported, their world's progress has been delayed by two hundred years.
The system's little seven explained in a soft and gentle voice.
[Ice, worthless here, becomes priceless elsewhere.]
Si Yan sighed and then left the space.
The time she had arranged to meet Wang Lei was approaching, so Si Yan left the space and went outside.
With a wave of her hand, Si Yan brought out a futuristic off-road vehicle, its colorful black body looking stunning in the sunlight.
At that moment, Wang Lei happened to run into Lin Tianqi and his group on his way back.
"Wang Lei, what's wrong with you? I've called you several times, but you haven't responded. What's the rush?"
Lin Tianqi asked in confusion.
"Yeah, did you secretly eat something delicious behind our backs again?"
Li Sheng, who was standing to the side, also chimed in.
"No, what could be wrong? It's just that my hearing has been bad lately, that's why I didn't hear it."
Wang Lei inwardly cursed his bad luck. He hadn't even gotten the hang of driving yet, and he'd already run into these bandits.
"Sigh, I think Wang Lei, you're definitely hiding something from us. Every time you lie, your eyes dart around."
Xiaoling, who was standing to the side, teased.
"Alright, you can't hide anything from you. I'll confess honestly, okay?"
Wang Lei smiled helplessly, knowing that if he didn't say anything now, he would be exposed the next time he went back.
"Tianqi, Li Sheng, do you two remember? The jade jewelry I found when we were in S City."
"I know, what's wrong?"
Lin Tianqi and Li exchanged a glance and then asked each other.
"Hehe, I traded them with Aunt Si for some things."
Wang Lei chuckled awkwardly.
"What? You've switched things behind our backs again?"
Li Sheng spoke angrily.
"Well, we're good brothers, so I'll lend you my things whenever you need them, just make sure you take good care of them."
Wang Lei touched his head and said with a smile.
"Hey, you're laughing so smugly, let me guess what good stuff you've traded for."
Li Sheng carefully recalled the things Wang Lei usually liked, and suddenly he spoke up.
"It's a car! It's an off-road vehicle, isn't it? You've got this kind of hobby, it's definitely this one."
Seeing that Li Sheng guessed it so quickly, Wang Lei curled his lip.
"No fun, you guessed it so quickly. But my car is a little different, its power source is solar energy, unlike the cars we have now."
Wang Lei was quite pleased with himself. After finishing speaking, he glanced at the time and realized that twenty minutes had passed. He hurriedly ran towards Si Yan's residence.
"Wang Lei is way too impatient."
Looking at Wang Lei's lightning speed, Li Sheng said with amusement.
"Let's go take a look."
After Lin Tianqi finished speaking, he led the way and quickly walked towards Wang Lei's direction.
"No way, is this a car?"
As soon as Lin Tianqi and his group arrived, they heard Wang Lei's excited voice.
"Of course, didn't Auntie say she would definitely make you satisfied?"
Si Yan said with a slight smile.
Wang Lei opened the car door, intending to take a good look around, when he heard Li Sheng's voice from behind.
"Great, Wang Lei, you've really made something of yourself. How about I borrow your car when I go home the day after tomorrow?"
Li Sheng looked at the futuristic off-road vehicle in front of him with great envy. He made up his mind that when he got home, he would also steal some of his mother's jewelry to buy one.
"Mom, I want one too."
Lin Tianqi looked at Si Yan and said resentfully.
"Don't worry, you'll get your share. Look to your right."
Si Yan pointed to the wall on Lin Tianqi's right.
"Really? Let me see."
Lin Tianqi happily rushed over.
Wang Lei and Li Sheng followed after hearing this, wondering if Tianqi's car would be even more eye-catching.
Upon closer inspection, Wang Lei admitted he was tired of using the words "envy, jealousy, and hatred."
Li Sheng and Wang Lei were completely mesmerized by the sleek, silver, futuristic supercar in front of them.
"Tianqi, give it a try, let us have a good look."
Lin Tianqi nodded upon hearing this, but after circling around and still not finding a way up, he couldn't help but look at Si Yan with embarrassment.
"Tianqi, I've already set it up. Just silently say 'activate' in your mind."
Seeing this, Si Yan smiled and reminded her.
After hearing this, Lin Tianqi quickly began to recite it silently.
"Beep, vehicle starting."
The silver futuristic sports car suddenly opened its doors, unfolding like a pair of wings.
Lin Tianqi and his group were admiring the new car, while Song Jianing, outside the base, had already set off with Yang Jiu from the Jinshi base towards the Beishi base.
"Brother Yang, with so many of you here, weren't you discovered?"
Song Jianing looked at the more than one hundred people in front of her and said in surprise.
"Of course not, otherwise would I be so relaxed right now? Don't worry, we've taken care of all the arrangements for getting in and out of Taipei. I'm sure I can get justice for my mother-in-law today."
Yang Jiu said smugly while putting his arm around Song Jianing.
"Get ready, we're off."
Yang Jiu withdrew his smile and said with a serious expression.
At that moment, Lin Shushan was staring blankly at the photos of Si Yan and Lin Tianqi at the base, and he had some vague guesses in his mind.
With a happy expression and a document in her hand, Lin's mother saw Lin Shushan staring blankly as soon as she entered the door.
After she got closer and saw the photo in Lin Shushan's hand, she smiled and said.
"Son, you found out too?"
"what do you know?"
Lin Shushan's mother's surprised voice pulled him back to reality, and he subconsciously asked.
"What else could it be? You have a son, Lin Tianqi, the one who looks a lot like your maternal grandfather."
Lin's mother replied happily.
"Mom, where did you get this information?"
Lin Shushan's expression faltered slightly, then he spoke calmly.
"Hey, I had someone do an expert report. Look, the evidence is all here."
Lin's mother excitedly handed the documents in her hand to Lin Shushan.
Lin Shushan subconsciously took the document and opened it to read. Only after seeing the test results did he realize that Si Yan was the woman from his dream.
“Son, what are you planning to do? Let me make this clear first: you can have a grandson, but you can’t have Si Yan. I don’t like her.”
Lin's mother said with a look of disgust.
Lin Shushan's face darkened upon hearing this.
"Mom, we haven't contributed anything all these years, how can we expect to have a child right away? Besides, Tianqi is already so old, do you think he still needs me as his father?"
Seeing that Lin's mother looked unconvinced, Lin Shushan spoke up again.
"Besides, do you know what Si Yan is capable of? Right now, your son is not good enough for her, and you're still stirring things up. After just a few interactions, do you really think she's interested in your son?"
Lin Shushan looked helpless. He should have trusted his intuition and persisted in investigating. Otherwise, he wouldn't have missed the mother and daughter for so many years.
However, he did not intend to bother them afterward and only planned to make private donations.
“Son, you’re so outstanding, how could she not like you? Besides, if Tianqi knew about your father, he would definitely abandon Si Yan and come to your side.”
Lin's mother argued vehemently, saying that in her heart, her son was the most outstanding.
"Alright, Mom, stop talking. I understand. Also, you're not allowed to bother them without my permission from now on."
"Okay, Mom understands."
Lin's mother responded softly, but only she knew what she was really thinking.
However, before she could consider it for long, a deafening alarm sounded in the base.
"Oh no, something's happened at the base! Mom, stay here and don't wander around. I'll go see what's going on."
"Son, be careful."
Looking at Lin Shushan's retreating figure, Lin's mother shouted worriedly.
As for why the base alarm sounded, it was actually a false alarm.
Before Yang Jiu could even use force, the base guards saw the large crowd and, thinking it was an enemy attack, sounded the alarm.
Song Jianing's eyes twitched as she watched. Yang Jiu seemed a bit dim-witted. She had tried to persuade him again and again, but he still insisted on bringing so many people with him.
"This is the Taipei City base. All non-essential personnel are requested to leave immediately. If you persist in approaching, we have the right to use offensive weapons against you."
At this moment, on the outer wall of the base, a guard was broadcasting over the loudspeaker; his voice was cold and intimidating.
"Ha, what good weapons could Taipei possibly have? Could they possibly compare to those of Tianjin?"
Yang Jiu was disdainful after hearing this, but Song Jianing, who was beside him, stopped in her tracks in fear.
"Brother Yang, no, we can't go any further. The Beishi base now has a new type of weapon, it's very powerful."
Song Jianing fearfully tried to dissuade her.
"Jia Ning, if you're scared, just step back. It's okay, they won't dare touch me."
Yang Jiu looked confident, after all, Tianjin's products were much more abundant than those of Taipei.
Seeing this, Song Jianing could only walk back by herself. She would look back at Yang Jiu from time to time, but what she saw in her eyes was not worry but disgust.
[What an idiot, but it's enough to buy myself some time.]
Taking advantage of the high level of security at the base, Song Jianing sneaked into the base and even slipped into the restricted area.
At this moment, Liu Ying, who looked dejected, saw Song Jianing and immediately exclaimed excitedly.
"Jia Ning, how did you get in?"
"Mom, time is of the essence, I can't explain in detail now. You come out first, and we'll escape the base first."
After Song Jianing rescued Liu Ying, an alarm sounded in the restricted area.
However, because everyone's attention was drawn to the people from Jinshi ahead, no one paid attention to the alarm in the restricted area.
Meanwhile, Si Yan, after hearing the alarm, led the bewildered Lin Tianqi and the others to Director Wang's office area.
Si Yan and her group arrived just in time, running into Director Wang who was rushing out from inside.
"Comrade Si, what brings you here? But I don't have time to greet you right now. The base is facing an emergency. The enemy has two hundred men equipped with lethal weapons. Although the base is not short of weapons, some casualties are inevitable."
"And that's exactly what I don't want to see."
Director Wang looked grim and was very anxious.
"Director Wang, I'm here to help. I've replaced some weapons with laser cannons, which are the best weapons for dealing with ranged enemies."
Si Yan said quickly.
"really?"
Director Wang looked at Si Yan with surprise.
Upon seeing Si Yan nod, he quickly pulled her towards the outer wall.
Lin Tianqi and the others followed closely behind.
"Tianqi, has Auntie become an arms dealer? She even has cannons now."
Wang Lei exclaimed as he ran.
"If you ask me, Auntie thinks it's like having a treasure chest, otherwise how could she have everything?"
Li Sheng, who was standing to the side, also sighed with envy.
"I don't know. I support whatever my mom thinks, but I don't interfere too much in other matters unless she brings it up herself."
Lin Tianqi said softly.
"Ah, Tianqi, you're so comfortable. Auntie has basically thought of everything for you. She can find anything you like."
Thinking about his own troublesome family affairs, Li Sheng felt a great deal of envy for Lin Tianqi.
"Alright, I know you're all envious, but now's not the time to talk about that. Buckle down, grab your weapons, and we'll be ready to help later."
Lin Tianqi spoke as he listened to the incessant alarm sounds around him.
Wang Lei and Li Sheng also became serious after hearing this.
When they arrived, they saw rows of cannons mounted on the outer wall of the base.
Wang Lei swallowed hard after looking at it.
"I respect the brothers outside as true men."
Once these weapons are activated, how can those people outside survive? Wang Lei shuddered at the thought of that horrific scene. He vowed never to mess with Aunt Si again.
Meanwhile, Yang Jiu, standing outside the wall, leisurely picked up the megaphone, unaware that he was about to be in trouble.
