Chapter 33 Surviving in a Cataclysmic World (Part 2)
When I got home, I closed the gate to the yard, but I didn't lock it. In the countryside, the gate is left unlocked when someone is home. I also opened the door to the main room, laid out my first-semester math textbook on the large table, and then started thinking about what to do about this natural disaster.
In the face of natural disasters, the power of an individual is insignificant. China was able to get through the most difficult time because of the operation of the state machinery and the resilience of the Chinese people. At that time, when China was in the most chaos, it is said that many countries around the world were destroyed due to internal strife.
Although the resources in Liu Yuxi's spatial dimension could be infinitely regenerated, how could he tell his family? Reveal the spatial dimension? That would jeopardize his safety. "Little Liu, can I reveal that I have a spatial dimension? And can I bring people into my spatial dimension?"
"Host, you cannot bring people into this space, and others cannot detect its existence. This is your exclusive alternate dimension, set up independently by the main system."
You can tell others, but you'll have to bear the consequences yourself if it causes trouble in the small world. Even if you die in this world, it just means you're returning to the real world earlier.
"If I get captured and taken to a lab or something, can you take me back to my world immediately?"
"Yes, you can go back to your original world if you don't encounter any danger, but I don't recommend it. After all, I'm a system that just waits to die, and I have to live until I die!" "Understood!"
Now that personal safety is no longer a concern, the remaining questions are how and when to notify the government!
In fact, the sooner the country is notified, the better, so that the country can prepare in advance, study various grain varieties in advance, establish safe bases in safe areas in advance, and arrange for the relocation of residents in severely affected areas in advance.
But how can she notify the government? She's too young. Even if she tells us what will happen in the future, probably no one will believe her unless she exposes her secrets.
No matter how she thought about it, she couldn't get around the concept of space. Oh well, she might as well say it. So many lives were at stake. She would save as many as she could. She never considered these people who traveled through worlds as NPCs. She believed that existence was justified. So many living people, just like the earthquake that struck the first world, she couldn't get over her conscience if she didn't do something.
Now we need to figure out who to report this to. We can't just let her go to any police station, perform some kind of spatial magic, and say, "I'm reborn, and there's going to be an apocalypse!" Let alone the fact that there are still more than ten years left, how can we keep this a secret? She might be detained on the spot, since that would be considered spreading rumors!
After going through the relationships among relatives and friends, the closest one is Wang Heng, the brother of Liu Lihua's husband, who is currently serving in a military unit in Beijing. The military does a better job of keeping secrets than local authorities.
Liu Lihua's husband is named Wang Yi. He is a junior employee of the Municipal Education Bureau. Since his parents also work in the education system, they know what they need to know. In the event of a natural disaster, they would not abandon their relatives. As a community of shared interests and being within the system, they should understand the importance of confidentiality.
Her parents had just passed away, and normally, she shouldn't visit other people's homes except for her closest relatives. But since it was something that couldn't be delayed, she went to the village store and called her third sister to find out how many people in her family were off work and told her that she had something to discuss with her parents-in-law that evening.
Although her third sister was puzzled, because of Liu Yuxi's insistence and because she was not usually an unreasonable child, she told her that she would take the afternoon off to come back and pick her up.
When Liu Lihua returned, she asked Liu Yuxi what she wanted to see her in-laws about. "It's not that I want to see your in-laws, but I need to contact my third brother-in-law's brother. I have something to discuss with the military, but it's a serious matter and I can't tell you right now."
Liu Yuxi's expression was very serious, and Liu Lihua felt a little uneasy. She felt that what Liu Yuxi was talking about must be very important, but she couldn't understand what such an important matter could a child have. Nevertheless, she still talked to her family and said that she would take Liu Yuxi to the city for a couple of days to buy some clothes and such, and then took Liu Yuxi to the city.
Liu Lihua lives in the same community as her parents-in-law, but not in the same building. After all, she has an older brother-in-law who is not yet married. When they got married, her parents-in-law bought them a house in the same community. Liu Yuxi stayed at her third brother-in-law's house for a while, and then her brother-in-law's family came back.
She and her third sister and her husband went to her in-laws' house. After greeting them, she said to her brother-in-law's father, "Uncle Wang, I have something to tell you, but it can't be told to anyone else."
Uncle Wang looked at her third sister and said, "Don't look at my third sister, she doesn't know anything. Aunt Wang, could you please cook for my third sister's husband today?" because Liu Yuxi's expression was too serious.
Aunt Wang looked at Uncle Wang and said, "Take Xiao Yi and the other two to Xiao Yi's place to cook. Xiao Yuxi and I will go over for dinner later." Aunt Wang then took her third sister and brother-in-law over there.
"Uncle Wang, what I'm about to say is all true. I need you to contact Brother Wang Heng and pass the message up through the military leaders."
Liu Yuxi sat next to Uncle Wang, speaking in a voice that was only loud enough for the two of them to hear. "My parents just passed away. You know about this. Last night, when I woke up, I didn't know if I had been reborn or if I had gained precognitive abilities, but I felt more like I had lived a whole life and come back to life."
Looking at Uncle Wang's eyes, Liu Yuxi continued, "I know you find it unbelievable and guess that I might be dreaming. I also thought I was dreaming at first, but look," she said, as she put the cigarettes and lighter that Uncle Wang had placed on the coffee table into her spatial storage.
Uncle Wang was initially shocked, then carefully observed Liu Yuxi's hand, which she hadn't retracted. He then stood up and looked around the house, drawing all the curtains he could. He then called Liu Yuxi to the study, turned on the light, and drew the curtains tightly.
Then he asked her, "Yuxi, that wasn't a magic trick, was it?" Because it was summer, Liu Yuxi was wearing short sleeves, so after observing her, Wang's father had these reactions, but he couldn't quite accept this inexplicable thing.
Liu Yuxi did not answer Wang's father's question, but she put the chair in the study back into her spatial storage. Wang's father staggered a little and realized the seriousness of the matter.
Liu Yuxi took out a chair and cigarettes from her spatial storage. The two sat down, and Wang's father lit a cigarette. Then he said softly to Liu Yuxi, "Yuxi, tell me in detail about the heavy work you mentioned."
“In my previous life, I lived a normal life until 2012. Starting on the 21st of 12, the world began to experience various natural disasters. First, there was a six-month period of heavy rain, then a six-month period of drought, followed by a six-month period of earthquakes, and then we entered a period of extreme cold and heat, and there were no more seasons.”
All over the world, the weather is extremely hot from April to September, reaching 60 degrees Celsius, and extremely cold from October to March of the following year, reaching minus 60 degrees Celsius. This has remained unchanged until I die.
In the first year and a half, due to a lack of preparation, far too many people died around the world. In the following year and a half, as food became increasingly scarce, the situation became increasingly chaotic.
It wasn't until 2022, when the country developed new grain varieties, that society finally stabilized. At first, I also thought I was just having a dream.
However, as you can see, I've discovered I have a space, and I'm no longer like a 12-year-old. So, I want to contact Brother Wang Heng and report this to higher authorities, so the government can verify it. It would be better if it's not true; if it is, the government can prepare in advance.
