Chapter 141 Ice Age Apocalypse: My Mom Stockpiled Billions in Supplies 8
The next day, Lin Tianqi and the others got up early and gathered together, glancing at Si Yan every now and then.
"Hey, Tianqi, Auntie said she's going to prepare something for us. What is it? Can you tell us?"
Wang Lei approached Lin Tianqi and asked in a low voice.
"That's right, the things Auntie brings out are all good stuff."
Li Sheng was also very excited as he spoke.
"Hey, this is for you guys to use first. You know, the things in my mom's space need to be exchanged. When you find something good, remember to give it to my mom. How can it just keep sending things out without sending anything in?"
Lin Tianqi patted the two of them lightly and said solemnly.
"Don't worry about that, I've thought it all out. There's a gold trading market in City A. We'll go there and take a look. Even if we only have a few scraps left, it'll still be more than what some people have with them."
As Wang Lei spoke, he glanced at Li Sheng up and down a few times.
“Hey, Wang Lei, I’m not that kind of shameless person. When I get to Taipei, I’ll find my grandfather’s old item and give it to Aunt Si. It’s definitely better than your gold.”
After Li Sheng finished speaking, he glanced smugly at Wang Lei.
"Keep bragging. I've never heard you mention it once in four years of university. Are you some kind of richest man's son who's now living in obscurity?"
Wang Lei looked on with a teasing expression, but he didn't notice that Li Sheng, unusually, didn't argue back and looked rather embarrassed.
"Alright, instead of joking around, you should tidy up this place."
Xiaoling looked at the fruit peels scattered on the table and was furious. Luckily, Lin Tianqi was Aunt Si's own son, otherwise the rest of them probably wouldn't even have fruit peels to eat. "Tianqi, have you cleaned up yet? I have something to give you."
Wang Lei was about to retort to Xiaoling when Si Yan's question interrupted him.
"Auntie, we're ready, we're coming right now."
Wang Lei was even more enthusiastic than Lin Tianqi, and with a fawning smile, he ran towards Si Yan first.
Li Sheng and Xiao Ling were not to be outdone, and they both ran over after them.
Lin Tianqi, who was still in a daze, was left speechless, feeling both amused and exasperated. These guys seemed to be more like his mother's children than he was.
When Si Yan saw Lin Tianqi and the others arrive, she took out four antique-style bracelets from her spatial storage.
Lin Tianqi and the others accepted it with delight.
"Auntie, does it require blood binding? Is this a spatial bracelet?"
"Yes, yes, Auntie, should I bring something sharp with me?"
Wang Lei and Li Sheng asked excitedly.
"Oh, no need for that. This is just a protective bracelet. Once you activate it, it will form a transparent protective shell. No matter what sound you make inside the shell, no one outside will hear it."
Si Yan smiled faintly and explained.
Upon hearing this, Lin Tianqi and the other three put the bracelets on their wrists.
"Mom, how do we activate this bracelet?"
Lin Tianqi fiddled with it for a while, then asked curiously.
Simply place your hands on it and silently say "start".
After Si Yan finished speaking, the four of them closed their eyes and silently recited the words.
"Huh, I don't feel any changes. Shouldn't we try telepathy?"
As he spoke, Wang Lei tried to walk towards Lin Tianqi and the others.
"Clang"
"what happened?"
Wang Lei and Lin Tianqi were less than a meter apart, yet they couldn't get any closer, as if some barrier was separating them.
"Wow, this is so much fun! I'm really being protected!"
Xiaoling's eyes crinkled into crescent moons as she smiled, looking very happy.
Only Lin Tianqi frowned in confusion.
"Wait a minute, Mom, didn't you say that once it's turned on, no one else will be able to hear us? But right now, everyone can hear what we're saying."
Lin Tianqi looked down and turned the bracelet. Could it be that the four of them had missed a step?
Seeing Lin Tianqi's puzzled look, Si Yan smiled faintly.
“Your voices can’t be heard from outside, but people wearing the same bracelet can hear each other’s conversations, and there is no distance limit.”
"Really? That would be even better than a cell phone."
With the arrival of the cold wave, cell phones have long been unusable. Having something that allows for unrestricted communication is truly a wonderful treasure.
Li Sheng looked at Si Yan with a look of surprise and delight.
"The bracelet is nice, but it's not free. Here, these are photos of the people we're looking for. One for each of you."
Si Yan printed out a photo from her space and gave one to each of the four of them.
"Hey, Tianqi, this person looks just like my aunt. They must be siblings."
Looking at the smiling, refined man in the photo, Wang Lei asked curiously.
"Hmm, it does look quite similar."
He looks a lot like me. So he's my mother's relative?
Lin Tianqi stared blankly at the photo in his hand, but Si Yan didn't give them much time to think.
"Alright, have you got everything? Remember, to turn off the bracelet, just say it silently like before, but it's best not to turn it off easily before we meet up."
Si Yan gave the instructions with a serious expression.
"Received, guaranteed to complete the task."
Lin Tianqi and the others said in unison, and then they walked down through the open exit of the spaceship.
Unlike before, this time the group went down and the surroundings were much quieter. Lin Tianqi even dared to walk past a Yeti.
"Safety."
Lin Tianqi said softly.
"Tianqi, Wang Lei, Li Sheng, and Xiaoling, all five of you, whether you've found the person or not, must meet on the rooftop of the Water Cube before dark, understand?"
Si Yan spoke with a solemn expression, giving instructions.
In this world, the most terrifying thing is human nature. Although they are protected by bracelets, they are still just a few young children who can be easily deceived.
"Mom, I know. Don't worry, I will definitely find my uncle."
Lin Tianqi suddenly spoke up, his expression slightly unnatural.
Si Yan was taken aback when she heard this. Did this kid accept the fact that he suddenly had an uncle so quickly?
After Lin Tianqi finished speaking, he walked out first, and Si Yan also walked in another direction. Because the system upgrade had restrictions, it could no longer directly locate non-direct target objects.
Therefore, Si Yan is currently unable to know Si Lin's location, only that he is safe.
Meanwhile, Si Lin also encountered some trouble.
"Boss, I see it, there's food in here."
The bespectacled man spoke obsequiously to the fat, big-eared man in front of him.
"Keep your voice down."
After speaking, the man gave a look to the person next to him, who then stepped forward and unlocked the door.
It turns out that this man's younger brother used to be a locksmith.
Inside the house, Si Lin and the other two were still discussing the spaceship they had seen.
Suddenly, with a click, the iron gate behind them was opened.
"who are you?"
Si Lin and Liu En shielded A Ye behind them, watching the group of people in front of them warily.
Lin Tianqi happened to be not far from them, and seeing the men's actions, he curiously followed them.
