Chapter 1308 Strange Phenomena
Shi Jia was unaware that she was on the Bureau of Extraterrestrial Affairs' surveillance list. At this moment, she had an "I knew it" expression on her face. "Just as I guessed, the spacetime oscillation has accelerated the speed at which abnormal energy is invading this world."
She pushed her wheelchair onto the balcony, looked up at the sky through the window, her face expressionless, lost in thought.
However, the little system above her head had its tentacles and limbs drooping, looking listless. "Sigh, after all this time, it's still related to us."
Shi Jia smiled upon hearing this, "When we entered this world, cause and effect were already established."
"Ok."
"Good boy, go monitor the abnormal energy fields nearby." Shi Jia reached out and patted the little guy's head.
"Hmm~"
Click! The sound of the door being opened.
Shi Jia subconsciously turned around and met Yue Lan's gaze. The latter's worried expression instantly relaxed when she saw Shi Jia. She quickly walked towards Shi Jia, looked her up and down, and then smiled and said, "Yueyue, Mom is back. Are you hungry? Mom will cook for you right away."
Shi Jia nodded obediently, "Mom, I'll help you."
Yue Lan smiled and shook her head, "No need, Yueyue can watch TV by herself, and Mom cooks very quickly."
Shi Jia didn't insist. Seeing Yue Lan go into the kitchen, he went to the living room and turned on the TV. "Hmm, I'll watch the news."
"...At 8:15 a.m. this morning, at Songya Park in our city..." A familiar face appeared on the television screen; it was none other than Shi Jia himself!
"Hiss..." Shi Jia quickly changed the TV channel, then cautiously looked back at the kitchen and found Yue Lan busy at work.
Yue Lan seemed to notice Shi Jia's gaze and turned to look at her. "Yueyue? Is something the matter?"
"No." Shi Jia shook her head and continued watching TV. 'Xiao Si, handle this.'
'OK. '
Shi Jia then felt relieved and continued watching the news.
"...The Thousand-Foot Cold Pool in Yuehua Mountain Forest Park suddenly froze over today..."
"...Numerous bamboo shoots sprouted overnight in Zhushan, Xinfeng Town, under the jurisdiction of Liutang District, triggering an unusual bamboo shoot digging frenzy..."
"...A large-scale landslide occurred during the construction of Shangting Real Estate in Dongyue District, but no injuries have been reported so far."
……
Shi Jia's two beautiful eyebrows were now knotted.
"Yueyue, dinner's ready. What are you watching? You seem so engrossed." Yue Lan took off her apron and came over. Noticing the content on the TV, she casually remarked, "There are definitely more and more strange things happening lately. Let's eat first."
"Okay." Shi Jia stood up with Yue Lan's help. "Mom, can I go dig for bamboo shoots tomorrow?"
"Huh? Digging bamboo shoots?" Yue Lan looked blank. "Bamboo shoots don't grow at this time of year." She had only heard of spring bamboo shoots and winter bamboo shoots, never summer bamboo shoots.
"Hey, the news just mentioned Liutang District, Xinfeng Town. There's a bamboo mountain there with lots of bamboo shoots growing on it, and many people go to dig them up." Shi Jia looked at Yue Lan with expectant eyes.
"It can't be fake news, can it?" Yue Lan didn't believe it and gestured for Shi Jia to eat, placing her chopsticks on the table.
“Definitely not.” Shi Jia took out his phone, searched for the news, and handed it to Yue Lan. The latter took it and started reading.
Shi Jia wasn't in a hurry and quietly started eating her meal.
"It does seem to be true." Yue Lan frowned after reading it, wondering how to refuse her daughter's request. Her daughter was simply too weak right now. But, if she refused, would her daughter be unhappy...?
Yue Lan took a deep breath. "Yueyue, do you really want to go dig for bamboo shoots?" Shi Jia nodded. "Staying at home all the time is boring—"
Before she could finish speaking, Yue Lan interrupted her, "Okay, then Mom will go with you tomorrow."
"Huh?" Shi Jia was taken aback. "Mom, aren't you going to work tomorrow?"
Yue Lan shook her head, "Yueyue is more important."
Shi Jia's heart skipped a beat, and her eyes involuntarily welled up with tears. "Mom, no need. I'm feeling much better now. Look, I even ate two bowls of rice today. Don't people always say that being able to eat means you're healthy?"
Upon hearing this, Yue Lan looked happily at the bowl in Shi Jia's hand and the dishes on the table, "Really, Yue Yue, your appetite has improved today? That's wonderful."
"I'll talk to your dad." She picked up her phone with great interest, ready to make a call.
Sigh, that's not the point! Shi Jia waved his hand helplessly.
Shi Jia's request to go bamboo shoot digging alone was ultimately denied. However, not wanting to interfere with Yue Lan and Zhao Feng's work, Shi Jia arranged for the family to go bamboo shoot digging together on the weekend.
Shi Jia sighed. Alas, her health is "too poor" right now. She needs to think of a solution quickly.
"...The target family is planning to go bamboo shoot digging this weekend."
"Digging bamboo shoots?" Li Li was somewhat bewildered. "Xinfeng Town, Zhushan Alien Land?" An area where an abnormal energy field has completely merged with the real world is called an alien land.
"Yes, I learned about the relocation of Zhushan from the news at noon today."
Li Li felt a headache coming on. The integration of Zhushan into other areas was getting deeper and deeper, and the ban imposed by the Foreign Affairs Bureau was no longer effective.
"Has anything unusual happened in Zhushan recently?" she asked Lin Yuze. He shook his head. "Apart from the increasingly concentrated alien energy, everything is normal so far."
“Okay, Xiaofeng, continue to have people keep an eye on Zhao Ziyue. Although Zhang Qiang is a madman, we can't completely rule out the possibility that he's talking nonsense,” Li Li said. “The information says that Zhao Ziyue has late-stage cancer, right?”
“Yes.” Lin Yuze nodded and added, “But currently, on the surface, Zhao Ziyue’s physical condition is good. It doesn’t look like what you would expect from someone with late-stage cancer.”
Li Li nodded, which was also the reason for her suspicion. "Moreover, the Bamboo Mountain is an important resource for our Yu Kingdom." Currently, many of the materials for the life-saving potions, recovery potions, and antidotes used by the aliens come from the Bamboo Mountain.
Feng Zifeng immediately assured, "I will definitely keep a close eye on Zhao Ziyue."
"Okay, it's up to you." Li Li nodded. "Aze, have you found any results regarding the information I asked you to look up before?"
As soon as she finished speaking, a set of data was projected onto the big screen.
“Sister Li, quite a few people in a vegetative state have indeed woken up this month, but apart from Xuexue, none of them have awakened any special abilities. In addition, the memories of these people in a vegetative state are all stuck in the past, and they do not have memories of the future like Zhang Qiang did,” Lin Yuze said.
"No?" Li Li asked, somewhat surprised. "What about those who were rescued after an accident?"
Lin Yuze shook his head.
Li Li asked disappointedly, "So Zhang Qiang is an isolated case?"
"Perhaps not, it's just that all we have is data." Lin Yuze continued to shake his head. Data can be faked, and without personally contacting those people, no one can be certain of the final outcome.
"I've already sent people to contact the people on the list." Lin Yuze then projected another list.
Li Li was puzzled. Didn't he just say there was nothing wrong? But she wasn't stupid, and she quickly understood.
"Then I'll have to trouble you, Aze."
"Beep beep! An abnormal energy reaction has occurred in Miaoshui Street, Qianshan District. Please proceed to handle it immediately!" The alarm sounded repeatedly in the Bureau of Extraordinary Affairs building.
