Chapter 295: Chapter 295 Song Yi Comes Clean

The leaders here, knowing the importance of technology, must be wise and insightful.

Moreover, it seems there’s no shortage of food here.

Whether the food is good or bad, at least there is something to eat, which is already a good thing.

When I clocked out and went to get dinner, I happened to meet Ye Mianmian.

"Sister Yuan, Fan Qing, how are you? Did Sister Ying give you any trouble?"

"No, she just asked us to switch to a different job, nothing problematic.

Mianmian, how was your afternoon?"

Compared to others, Jhiang Yuan was quite worried about her.

"I’m fine too, still doing the same tasks. It’s just that both of you aren’t around anymore, I have no one to talk to."

Ye Mianmian held Jhiang Yuan’s arm, truly unaccustomed to being on her own.

"We should not be away for too many days. You need to be extra careful. Even if it means suffering a little loss, do not get into conflicts with others, understand?"

"Yeah, don’t worry, Sister Yuan. I understand."

"That’s good then..."

A few people, holding their dinner, headed to where they were staying.

Truth to be told, it had been several days, yet she seemed still a bit unadjusted.

It was a bit like her school days, though the situation was somewhat better.

At least, her family was around.

Jhiang Yuan had just come back, not yet having time to enter her space, when Song Yi arrived.

"Talk?"

"Sure, how about after dinner?"

She could skip eating, but the elderly and children couldn’t.

Given the nature of Jhiang Xingzhi and Qin Yue, they would definitely wait for her to come back and eat together.

"Okay, I’ll head back first..."

She didn’t ask Song Yi if he had eaten since time was limited, and they weren’t that formal.

Jhiang Yuan took some sweet and sour radishes and spicy cucumber slices from her space.

These were all prepared ahead of time and were ready to eat.

In the dining hall, it was either potato or cabbage, occasionally some big radishes...

It was fine for a while, but over time it got a bit tiresome.

Given today’s special circumstances, she decided to eat simply and then go ask Song Yi about the situation over there.

Originally, she wanted to put her father and the others into her space, but Jhiang Xingzhi disagreed.

After eating quickly, Jhiang Yuan went to Song Yi’s place.

She had too many questions to ask. He was clearly waiting for her; she knocked once and the door opened.

"Come in..."

"Okay!"

She directly took a seat on the bed, just like last time, no need to be told twice.

"Are you very curious about what happened these two days?"

"Yes!"

Jhiang Yuan nodded, not concealing anything.

"Last night, a wave of bears appeared here in Changming Village, probably about a hundred."

"My goodness, that many? Where did they come from?"

Even if Qinling mountain had wild animals, it shouldn’t be that many.

And even if there were that many, coming in groups to cause destruction seems too coincidental.

"Apparently, they came from the outskirts, attacked the guards there, and then got in."

Wow, that’s really scary. They even attacked the guards.

"Impressive, have the bears turned into spirits or something?"

Jhiang Yuan truly had her doubts, finding it all rather incredible.

"I’m not quite sure about the details. An alarm was triggered over there, and then everyone was mobilized.

When I got there, I encountered a few and joined in dispatching them.

Later, when I heard cries from our side, I came over."

"Was that when I saw you then?"

"Yes!"

Song Yi knew that even if Jhiang Yuan was scared, her thinking remained clear.

"I was worried you guys might be injured, so I came over to ask.

Then, I went down to gather."

So that was it; it made sense now.

"But, there are quite a few guards in this village; how come you’re only just getting back now?"

At this point, Song Yi too became serious.

"Because later, we received an order that the bear groups could only be captured alive, not annihilated..."

"What?"

Jhiang Yuan was stunned—were those giving the orders out of their minds, expecting them, mere mortals, to gamble with a bear?

"How about you, though? Are you injured?"

Jhiang Yuan was somewhat agitated, without even realizing that she was quite scared inside.

"No worries, I’m fine, rest assured.

The operation was supposed to conclude this morning; there are many large iron cages here, just herd the bears into them."

"Large iron cages—who on earth would bother with those, are you sure these bears came down from the mountains?"

Jhiang Yuan looked at Song Yi, who smirked playfully.

"Who knows, I didn’t see it with my own eyes..."

So, Song Yi had deduced this matter himself.

However, he chose to remain silent.

Even if they wanted to resist, they lacked the strength to do so, and indeed, it wasn’t really their concern.

"So today, when I saw you on the road, were you guys discussing the bear matter too?"

Jhiang Yuan watched him, not wanting to miss any expression.

Now that they weren’t on the same floor anymore, Song Yi no longer needed to stand on the same side as her.

He could have his own new life; the thing was, if he lied to her, he would have to avoid her in the future.

All she wanted was her family’s health and to get through these cannibalistic times safely.

Even just surviving a few more years would be a blessing.

Song Yi pulled his chair closer to her.

Jhiang Yuan instinctively moved back, fearing he might suddenly attack her.

Noticing her sensitivity, Song Yi whispered, "This is actually what I mainly wanted to talk to you about today.

Jhiang Yuan, I met the ruler here yesterday.

He was a senior commander I served under before. I don’t know why he’s here, but it’s definitely not simple."

Uh...

Talking about acquaintances seemed like too big of a discrepancy.

"So, he recognized you..."

"Yes, actually, it was another person who recognized me first and then brought me to him.

I had never told you before, but we were carrying out special international missions.

We had only direct contact with him, and all personnel and mission data were confidential.

This time, I also met someone I had been on a mission with.

Later, I was injured and spent a year in a mountain sanatorium.

There, I met an old man who spoke of disturbances in the world.

Everyone said he was a madman, but I was somehow drawn to him.

The elder was extremely proficient in the Five Elements and Eight Trigrams and could also interpret astronomical signs..."

"Wait a minute..."

This was becoming more fantastical by the minute, and Jhiang Yuan found it somewhat incredible.

"So, you left the sanatorium because of that?"

Song Yi’s expression was incredibly sincere, as if he were saying: I really didn’t lie to you, I really didn’t lie to you, I really didn’t lie to you.

Important things must be said three times!

"He said the anomaly was in West City, so I went there!"

Oh, I see!

That explained why he would fortify his house and stockpile food, yet didn’t know about the toxic snow.

It seemed logical, yet something wasn’t quite right.

For the moment, she couldn’t quite put her finger on it...
