Han Province is not in the earthquake zone, and its geological structure is relatively stable, but it is closer to the ocean.
As the land continues to sink, it will reach this place sooner or later.
Even though the final migration destination of these people is unknown, they are likely to pass by and rest nearby.
Jiang Ning didn’t want to deal with them to avoid unnecessary trouble.
Huo Yishen agreed.
The three of them, along with the dog, returned to the camp, erased all traces of their presence, and then took out the helicopter to escape.
The helicopter took off again, and the scenery on the ground gradually blurred.
Wandering again, the dog leaned against Jiang Ning, looking up at her as if asking, “Where are we going?”
Jiang Ning stroked its head. “We’re going to a place with a higher altitude.”
This time, they chose to head southwest, but not as far as the Roof of the World. Although that area has the highest altitude, it’s also prone to earthquakes, and it’s probably collapsed to an unbearable extent by now.
They decided to take a chance and head to Qing Province as per Plan B.
The distance was too far, so they had to stop mid-flight to refuel.
Jiang Ning couldn’t tell if it was just her imagination or sensitivity, but even though they chose a relatively stable spot to land, the ground beneath her feet felt much softer than in Han Province.
The helicopter was pressed down and left mud marks.
Looking around, the surrounding area had collapsed and cracked so badly that it was unbearable to look at.
Jiang Ning had a bad feeling. “Let’s not rest here; let’s leave as soon as we refuel.”
Sure enough, not long after the helicopter took off, they heard a rumbling sound from the ground.
Just a few hundred meters away from the helicopter, a large area of land collapsed.
The western part of Qing Province is a high, flat area, so despite the cracks, it should still be relatively safe.
Jiang Ning thought of it, and many people must have thought of it as well.
Standing thousands of meters in the air, the helicopter arrived at the high, flat area.
The once expansive area was now broken into pieces, revealing large chasms.
Jiang Ning used her binoculars to search for the best landing spot but unexpectedly found traces of other aircraft.
There were private ones, military ones, and tents of various colors.
Since using their cheat is impossible under so many watchful eyes, they decisively searched for another place to stay.
With an expansive area stretching hundreds of kilometers, they could go wherever they wanted. After circling the area for over an hour, Jiang Ning finally chose a spot with no signs of human activity.
They successfully landed and started a new beginning.
The wind and sand in the high, flat area were so strong that setting up a tent was impossible.
Even if they managed to set one up, the howling wind would make it impossible to rest.
Jiang Ning took out the RV. Whoever wants to care can do so; she’s not running anymore, and she plans to enjoy life before the land completely sinks.
The dog jumped onto the roof of the car and looked up majestically to patrol the territory. “Awoo!”
Jiang Ning’s face darkened. Could it have mutated?
Doudou laughed beside her, “Coke learned that from the cartoons.”
With plenty of time on their hands, Jiang Ning didn’t take out any prepared food from the space but chose to cook with Huo Yishen and Doudou.
Every meal was different, and they deliberately chose challenging recipes.
In addition to eating, it is sleeping and exercising.
Doudou and Coke took on the task of patrolling.
Even though there were few people around, letting one’s guard down in the apocalypse is the worst mistake. Bulletproof vests and helmets must be worn at all times.
Afraid that the two of them weren’t safe enough, they were also equipped with weapons, and Jiang Ning even gave them an electric bike in case the road wasn’t safe.
Still not entirely reassured, she stood on the roof of the RV, watching them through binoculars the entire time.
Huo Yishen squatted down and assembled and tested a drone.
Jiang Ning was curious, “Can it still fly without GPS?”
“It can be switched to attitude mode, but it can be unstable at times, and it’s easy to crash if not handled well.”
With the open view of the expansive area, it should be relatively safe.
Huo Yishen had only stored two drones because he hadn’t expected the satellite to fall. Since the drones were noisy and could easily attract attention, he hadn’t used them until now.
His skills were decent, and with the buzzing sound, the drone took off for patrol…
and then, it exploded.
Jiang Ning, who was smiling one moment and frowning the next, “…”
He really is something!
In fact, it’s not Huo Yishen’s fault. There was no wind when he was testing, but when the drone was in the air, a sandstorm came.
It wasn’t exactly a sandstorm, just a sudden gust of wind filled with sand and dust.
The drone became unstable, and with the wind and sand in the mix, it truly was a case of “the expedition failed before it even began.”
With only one drone left, Jiang Ning refused to take it out no matter what.
In the end of the world, with natural disasters everywhere, high-tech gadgets were useless—they had to rely on primitive manpower.
The two successfully patrolled a circle with a radius of one kilometer. No humans or wild animals were found for the time being, and the terrain was relatively stable.
The wind howled from time to time, but the RV was well-insulated, and with the doors closed, they could hardly hear a thing.
A multi-million luxury RV truly lives up to its price, with several local area network night vision cameras. The three of them, along with the dog, sat comfortably on the sofa while watching TV. As long as they kept an eye on the monitor from time to time.
Even if there was a moment of negligence, the car body and windows are bulletproof, so it is relatively safe.
After staying there for some time, the three of them, along with the dog, gradually adapted and took on their respective duties each day.
Jiang Ning spent some time reorganizing the space, moving the trucks out of the medicine field and replanting the trampled areas.
Once the two were asleep, she took Huo Yishen into the space to open some boxes.
What could be inside the 21 giant trucks?
They struggled to open the first container, and when Jiang Ning saw what was inside, her eyes almost popped out.
Uh, it was the world’s most expensive car—a four-wheel-drive bronze chariot.
How many billions would this cost!
Not just the bronze chariot, but there are also many terracotta warriors, bronze swords, relics, the “Flying Horse of Gansu,” and countless other cultural artifacts.
Each item was priceless, and there were three entire containers filled with such artifacts.
Jiang Ning thought to herself, fortunately the space didn’t grow anymore; otherwise, with its habit of even scraping diamonds off slippers, it would have surely swallowed up all these artifacts.
If the precious cultural artifacts shocked her, what came next made her scream.
The next five containers were all filled with medical equipment.
Ultrasound machines, ECGs, endoscopes, X-rays, CT scanners, brain scanners…
All brand new, in varying quantities, and accompanied by thick instruction manuals.
There were also two boxes of notes from the laboratory department, all of which were handwritten without exception, and they detailed the use of various instruments, how to read the images, and daily maintenance.
It goes without saying that they were all the essence collected by doctors who wanted to preserve civilization after the natural disaster.
Looking at these materials, Jiang Ning went from surprise to silence.
For these two boxes of notes, as long as the natural disaster ends one day and human civilization begins to recover, she will return these instruments to their rightful owners.
They continued opening the boxes and discovered more equipment, this time from the manufacturing industry.
Each profession is different, and Jiang Ning didn’t understand much, but the ones that can be included in the list of civilized products by the country are definitely important and high-quality, so she stored them all away.
She took out an ultrasound machine, started reading the corresponding operation manual, and began the installation and testing process.
It’s true that she studied medicine, but pharmacy and diagnostics are two completely different concepts. She felt sleepy after reading the operating instructions for a long time.
It seems men have a natural talent for mechanics. Moreover, after learning with Jiang Ning for a few years, Huo Yishen calmly worked through it and managed to get it up and running.
The two studied and made progress together, looking through books on color ultrasound.
Then, Jiang Ning decided to practice on Huo Yishen. “Take off your clothes.”

Please bear with me if I didn’t update right away 😅. I was either buried in work 💼… or buried in rereading the book 📖. (P.S. Most of the time I’m rereading it 🤭—so you know just how good the story is! 🌟)
