Chapter 1
When the solar storm occurred, Qiao Xi was receiving goods in country T.
Three hundred tons of durian, two hundred tons of coconut, one hundred tons of mangosteen, eighty tons of mango, sixty tons of rambutan, fifty tons of dragon fruit, fifty tons of longan, thirty tons of dragon palace fruit, twenty tons of sugar apple, Twenty tons of jackfruit and twenty tons of snakeskin fruit.
This summer, local fruits will have a bumper harvest, and they are extremely cheap and good-quality. You will save money when you buy them, and you will make money when you save them.
Even though she was here, she also bought ten tons of jasmine rice, a local specialty, and ten tons of ordinary fragrant rice.
100 boxes each of coconut oil and palm oil, 5L*4 bottles per box.
There are 50 boxes each of curry sauce, tom yum sauce and special hot sauce, each box is 1L*12 bottles.
100% natural coconut water, 1000 boxes, 1.25L*12 bottles per box.
100% natural coconut water, 1000 boxes, 350ml*24 bottles per box.
The family runs a restaurant and two large cafeterias, and it is only a matter of time before all these goods are consumed.
Everything touched by Qiao Xi's hands disappeared out of thin air and appeared neatly in the portable space in the blink of an eye. This was the reason why she dared to buy so many goods at once.
Her portable space is not so extraordinary that it can be used for planting and breeding, nor does it have spiritual magic. It is just a simple storage space. It is better than permanent heat preservation and freshness, and internal time seems to have stopped.
Getting the space was purely accidental. When he was eighteen years old, his parents gave Qiao Xi a Bodhi bracelet as a gift for entering college. She cut the fruit to show her filial piety, but accidentally cut her finger and stained the Bodhi bracelet with blood. Unexpectedly, the Bodhi bracelet burst into bright white light and flew into the center of her eyebrows. The next moment, her whole person disappeared, and Father Qiao and Mother Qiao almost went crazy.
The disappeared Qiao Xi appeared in the Bodhi space. The blood on his hands was not dry yet, but the wound was gone. It was a big shock.
She could see the outside from the space. She saw that her parents were worried, and they came out smoothly as soon as they were in a hurry.
When Qiao Xi came out, he excitedly told his parents about his adventure. He felt that words could not describe one tenth of it. He pulled his parents to enter the space, but he failed.
After many tests, it was confirmed that the Bodhi Space could not contain any living creatures, with the exception of her, the fusion person.
Compared with Qiao Xi's excitement about getting the treasure, Qiao's father and Qiao's mother were worried. They are worried that the space will hinder their health, and they dare not go to the hospital for examination. If anything is found out, they will be innocent and guilty.
After Qiao Xi was excited, he also began to worry, worrying about the end of the world.
At that time, she had already received the admission notice from the University of Country M and had a lot of time to watch movies, so she stepped into the pit of the end of the world.
After merging with the Bodhi Space, Qiao, a middle-aged girl, a lover of apocalyptic themes, and a person chosen by the space, was excited and uneasy. She seriously told her parents that she suspected that the end of the world was coming, and that space was the evidence. Just in case, they had to do something Click ready.
It sounds quite unreliable, but whether the wound heals instantly or the small Bodhi seed has a large space inside, it is quite unreliable. Thinking about it this way, is the idea of the end of the world not only unreliable but also a little bit reliable?
Because the impact of portable space is so huge, under Qiao Xi's persuasion, Qiao's father and Qiao's mother agreed to spend five million to purchase supplies after discussion.
The five million was attributed to Qiao's father and Qiao's mother running a large restaurant. Therefore, they were not afraid of wasting materials if the apocalypse did not come, so they had the right to prepare supplies for the restaurant. Anyway, they would not be damaged in the space.
So the Qiao family hoarded 5 million in supplies, 90% of which was used to buy rice, flour, grains, oils, vegetables, fruits, fish, meat, eggs, wine, water and drinks. It can be seen from this that Qiao's father and Qiao's mother are actually not very involved in the drama.
Qiao Xi, who is deeply involved in the drama, is entangled: "Then should I go abroad to study? What if the end of the world comes and I can't come back?"
Mother Qiao Xi Jingyun said expressionlessly: "Even if Blue Star is destroyed, you still have to go to school."
Well, Qiao Xi went to school obediently, but his studies were very complicated.
She came into contact with the subculture group Doomsday Yubei tribe abroad, also known as survivalism. Although it is not mainstream, there are not many of them in country M, and social attention is quite high.
One or two doomsday-related film and television dramas are released here every year, such as the famous "After X", "20X2", "The Walking Dead X" and so on.
A local supermarket launched a strange series of 'Doomsday Cans' with a total weight of 816 kilograms and a shelf life of 25-30 years. The price was 8,499.99 million yuan, and it was sold out within a few days.
There are even merchants selling large oil tanks transformed into integrated cellars, priced at 250,000 million yuan. They claim to be able to withstand nuclear radiation, and sales are very good.
There is also a local tycoon who spends one billion million dollars to build a doomsday fortress.
Qiao Xi, who opened the door to a new world, felt that he was not prepared enough and was too young after all.
So, inspired by her predecessors, she learned Sanda, diving, rock climbing, took the sea, land and air driver's license test, and participated in a wilderness survival training camp... She also learned shooting, and bought a gun legally after obtaining a hunting license.
Training fees, equipment purchase fees, transportation, catering, accommodation and other miscellaneous expenses, plus Qiao Xi has not given up on hoarding survival supplies, the pocket money saved over the years and the living expenses provided by his family are still far from enough.
It only cost her family five million, and she was embarrassed to ask her family for it again. She relies on the mountains and rivers to support herself, and she relies on the space to support herself. She earns a price difference by selling goods from the south to the north.
When Father Qiao and Mother Qiao discovered that it was several years later, Qiao Xi was no longer obsessed with the apocalypse. She was obsessed with making money. The couple were on tenterhooks, feeling that she was playing with fire, fearing that one day her flaws would be revealed.
In order to reassure her parents, she took a step back and stopped selling goods from south to north. Instead, she opened a large seafood buffet restaurant in Beijing. She opened a branch last year. She made less money than before, but it was still quite a lot. After all, her ingredients are good and the cost is low. For example, this batch of golden pillow durians cost only 3.6 yuan per catty. Of course she is willing to let customers eat as much as she wants, but who would dare to compete with her competitors at the same price range?
Just after harvesting the durians, the overhead lights suddenly went out, plunging the warehouse into darkness, but the Bodhi bracelet in the back of my mind rarely lit up and glowed red.
Qiao Xi was stunned. Is this the first time she had an abnormal reaction in the seven years since she integrated the Bodhi bracelet?
It was white light back then, why is it red light this time?
Red can represent happiness as well as danger.
From the red light, she felt no joy, but an indescribable uneasiness that enveloped her heart.
It is said that artifacts have spirituality. Does the Bodhi bracelet remind her of danger?
What's the danger?
Does it only happen to her, or to her parents?
Is it related to the power outage just now?
Qiao Xi's mind was full of questions. He took out his mobile phone to confirm that his parents were safe first, and then searched for any relevant information. He was shocked to find that the signal grid was out of contact, and even the network communication was cut off after the power outage.
There was a vague noise coming from outside, it should be the loading and unloading workers in the nearby warehouse. Qiao Xi turned on the flashlight on her mobile phone, walked to the window and pulled up the blinds. She saw that the night sky that should have been completely dark was filled with gorgeous blue-green light, which was very similar to the aurora she had seen many times before.
How can it be?
Aurora, aurora, is called aurora because it belongs to the Arctic and Antarctic circles!
This is a tropical place, close to the equator, how can we see the aurora!
In disbelief, Qiao Xi walked out of the warehouse and was stunned by the gorgeous sky above his head.
She was not the only one who was shocked. Under the sky, countless people stopped and raised their heads to gaze at this rare spectacle. Many people excitedly took photos and videos with their mobile phones, but unfortunately they couldn't publish them on the spot without the Internet. At this moment, most people are not aware of the dangers lurking in this anomaly.
Qiao Xi realized it, and the Bodhi bracelet in her mind lit up red. If she didn't have this sense of danger anymore, she would just find a piece of tofu and hit her to death. She turned back to the warehouse and took out the satellite phone from the space. During a year, she spends at least half of her time running outside, sourcing high-quality and low-price seasonal ingredients from all over the world, and playing all over the world. There are many remote places like the desert and rainforest poles. In order to reassure her parents, she prepared a satellite phone so that they would not be able to contact her.
Satellite signals could not penetrate steel and concrete. She walked outside the warehouse again and found that the satellite phone, which had signals at both poles, had no signal. Her uneasiness reached its peak in an instant.
At that moment, a bright light came from far to near, it was the staff of the port storage center holding a flashlight.
Qiao Xi asked the other party about the power outage and Internet connection in the local language. In the early years, she often came to this country to purchase fruits, seafood, and rice. The local international language was not widely popular, and it was not convenient to carry a translator with her, so she learned T language by herself.
The staff was also puzzled and told Qiao Xi that the office's landline phone was also out of service and even the running water was stopped. He was planning to go to the office building to ask when he saw her alone and invited her to come with him.
Qiao Xi declined his kindness and immediately returned to the warehouse.
The transportation and purification of tap water require electricity, which means that the water plant on the other side of the city will most likely have a power outage, and the power outage will affect the entire city.
Mobile phone communications rely on base stations, wired telephones rely on optical fiber cables, and satellite phones rely on space satellites.
And the aurora outside.
The only reason she could think of for the above-mentioned abnormal conditions to occur in a tropical international metropolis at the same time was a solar storm.
This is an astronomical disaster she learned about when she was obsessed with eschatology in her early years. The charged particles produced by solar storms can damage satellites, communication equipment, and ground power systems. It will also collide with atoms in the atmosphere to produce auroras. The stronger the solar storm, the lower the latitude where auroras will appear.
The strongest solar storm on record occurred in the mid-19th century, causing the telegraph system in Europe and North America to be completely paralyzed. Auroras could be seen in parts of the equator. This event was known as the Carrington Event in history.
All right.
Auroras can be seen here. The intensity of this solar storm may be similar to that one, but the consequences will be a hundred times more serious.
The more advanced technology becomes, the more serious the consequences of solar storms will be, because people's lives are closely related to the power network.
If there is a power outage, water outage, or natural gas outage, the most basic life will be disrupted.
Important institutions such as transportation, hospitals, television and radio, banking and financial systems were paralyzed.
Qiao Xi suddenly gasped. At this moment, if the circuits of trains on the track, planes in the sky, and ships on the sea were to collapse and navigation was lost, the consequences would be disastrous.
Once power and communication are unable to return to normal within a short period of time, the world will not be far from the end.
The end of the world?
Qiao Xi stared at the Bodhi bracelet glowing red in his mind. It couldn't really be the end of the world, could it?
As soon as this idea came up, the red light around the Bodhi bracelet suddenly disappeared and returned to its original simplicity, as if it had retired after completing its mission.
Qiao Xi: "...Thank you for reminding me."
Suddenly I felt a little cute. It would be even cuter if I wasn't so reserved and asked for a dream in advance.
Forget it, people are contented. Compared to others, she is lucky enough. She has space and a lot of supplies in the space.
