Huo Yishen checked several times and confirmed that the submarine had no surveillance installed. 

To be safe, Jiang Ning chose to enter the space. 

Despite Instructor Xu’s enthusiasm and sincerity, both of them had remained vigilant these past few days and hadn’t noticed any surveillance actions from Instructor Xu. 

This included the 2688 submarine entering the sea, where no suspicious tails were detected. 

“You know, why did Chief Gu say such irrelevant things to me?” 

He even smiled at her, but considering his age and upright demeanor, she really would have thought otherwise and believed that he wanted to eat tender grass. 

She admitted that she was narrow-minded, but it was really weird. 

Perhaps having secrets made her see everyone as a potential threat. 

It was really weird, but Huo Yishen couldn’t figure it out as well. “We just need to be vigilant at all times.” 

Regardless, the submarine was secured. 

Next, they needed to discuss how to handle a massive plate collision. Without a plan, they might be left in the dark when the time comes. 

Cars, yachts, cruise ships, airplanes, armored vehicles, submarines. 

Putting aside the military, Jiang Ning really felt that she could try to summon the dragon, but to fight against an unprecedented natural disaster, one must pay attention to methods and means. After all, the end result of losing is death. 

The most taboo for survival is arrogance, and one must avoid the fate of Tian Ji’s horse racing. 

Jiang Ning pondered, “There are so many people in the military base. When the plate collision really comes, the three routes of sea, land, and air will be carried out at the same time. What should we do?” 

Huo Yishen thought, “The ocean covers 70%, so it will be the first to be affected. The greatest danger is a tsunami; once someone falls into the sea, the chance of survival is almost zero…” 

The ocean will trigger a tsunami, and the land will face earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, etc., and dangers are also everywhere. 

In comparison, the sky will be safer. 

But relatively speaking. After all, whether it is a tsunami, earthquake, or volcanic eruption, it is very likely to affect the airflow. In serious cases, there may be a crash. 

Choosing the lesser of the three evils, Huo Yishen suggested flying the plane into the air as soon as possible. 

Jiang Ning could not think of a better plan. “The helicopter has a parachute. We will put it on in advance. If a crash really happens, we can escape in time.” 

She remembers to tie everyone together with ropes, and in case of a crash, they can take cover in space and wait until the shockwave from the earthquake passes before landing. 

As for the aftermath, land doesn’t sink instantly; instead, the edges where collisions are most intense would be shattered, while the interior would crack and gradually sink… 

In other words, it gives the survivors time to adjust. 

Compared to land, the unknown risks of the ocean are too great. Jiang Ning stayed cautious and decided to choose the ocean for survival only when there was no land left to retreat to. 

The two discussed and finally confirmed the plan. If they could fly the plane, they would fly it. If they were too late, they would hide in the escape pod. When they escaped the first wave of impact and the land could not be retreated, it would not be too late to go to the ocean. 

After leaving the space, the two had a good sleep. 

Then they practiced in the ocean with a submarine and confirmed that there was no problem before approaching the uninhabited coast. 

The speedboat was thrown out. Doudou and Coke went first, Jiang Ning and Huo Yishen jumped into the sea, collected the submarine, and swam over. 

It was far from the military base, and the speedboat sailed on the sea for nearly half an hour before it reached the shore. 

After landing, they changed cars and returned to the base. 

The distance was more than 300 kilometers, and the road conditions were very difficult to travel. They often had to go around in circles, and it took a day and a half to arrive. 

After entering the base, Jiang Ning was particularly vigilant, but she was still spotted by someone almost immediately. 

After walking around the work center, Jiang Ning discovered that the one tailing her wasn’t a soldier but a persistent scavenger. 

As long as it wasn’t the military, Jiang Ning wasn’t afraid at all. 

She still had a lot of points left in her card. She exchanged hundreds of oxygen packs and wanted to stock up on some gasoline or diesel, but since the base didn’t sell in bulk, she had to drive to refuel, and the prices were extremely high. 

In the end, she had no choice but to exchange everything for coal. 

Two large trucks can carry 70 tons of coal. If there is a day when she really needs it, it will be enough for her to use for a long time. 

The trouble is that the coal yard is not in the base, so she needs to drive to pick it up herself. 

Jiang Ning kept the receipts and planned to pick it up at a later time. 

Just as she was about to go back, the walkie talkie suddenly rang, and an excited voice came from it, “Sister, I passed! I passed the enlistment assessment!” 

Who else could be so excited except Rong Sanshao? There seemed to be a hint of sobs in his excitement.

 

To be honest, Jiang Ning breathed a sigh of relief, “Congratulations.” 

“Sister, I’ll treat you and brother-in-law to a meal.” 

Rong Sanshao’s joy needed to be shared urgently. Besides, his sister returned half of the medicine, and he used part of it to exchange for points, so he could still afford to treat her to a meal. 

It’s just that there is no place to cook, and his cooking skills are not good enough. 

Jiang Ning still has some points left on her card, and she probably won’t need them in the future. She couldn’t help but say generously, “Who asked you to call me sister? Keep your points and spend them slowly. I’ll treat you to a meal and wish you a glorious enlistment.” 

“No, how can I let you and brother-in-law spend money?” 

Jiang Ning said unambiguously, “Is that so? Then you treat me. Remember to buy more.” 

The other party was immediately anxious, “No, sister, I want to eat hot pot.” 

Little guy, you still want to trick her with this little idea? Jiang Ning readily agreed, “I happened to be in the mall. I bought some vegetables and brought them back; you can come over for dinner.” 

Hanging up the intercom, Jiang Ning turned around and went to the mall to buy vegetables. 

The base has a plantation, but it has to provide food and drink for the soldiers and various units, so the supply is still relatively scarce, and the price has risen accordingly. 

There was rice, flour, oil, grain, vegetables, and meat. 

With the remaining points, Jiang Ning bought a symbolic amount of ingredients, mainly choosing what was available in the space, to avoid drawing too much attention. 

Huo Yishen helped to pick and choose, “Why don’t you ask Zhang Chao if they are free to have a meal together?” 

The submarine team has a heavy training mission. Once they go to sea for training, they will have a break in half a month, and they are on standby at any time. 

If a plate collision occurs one day, they will go their separate ways to escape. No one can guarantee whether they will have the chance to meet again in the future. 

Huo Yishen knows that Jiang Ning still cares about this friendship; otherwise, she would not have helped them openly or secretly at critical moments over the years. 

Jiang Ning nodded, “Okay, I’ll ask them.” 

She took out the walkie-talkie to contact them, but there was no response for a long time. 

With three people and a dog carrying the items, they returned to their independent courtyard, and the tailing presence stopped only when they entered Area B. 

Huo Yishen thought for a moment, “If I’m not mistaken, it should be someone from the Tornado Team.” 

Jiang Ning thought it was possible. After all, they had lost more than a dozen people. Even if there was no evidence, she would be the most suspicious person. 

Upon returning to the courtyard, Huo Yishen reminded her while unlocking the door, “Someone has been here.” 

Jiang Ning became alert and immediately drew her weapon. 

Both were instantly on high alert, but the courtyard was eerily quiet…
