It had been eight days since the start of the catastrophe!
Chen Qiang was the last to close the door. He was less than a mile away from the farm. In order to avoid being harmed by the radiation, he had no choice but to drill underground.
During the eight days, Chen Qiang played the Fenshui Heavenly Melody countless times, trying his best to improve his Spiritual Power level.
According to common sense, Chen Qiang's Spiritual Power level improved quite quickly.
In eight days, his Spiritual Power value had reached at least 130.
If this speed was on Elder Xu or Shui Yanran, it would be enough to be proud.
However, compared to when Chen Qiang had the system, this speed was even slower than a snail!
In the past, casually absorbing the functions of a corpse was equivalent to playing the Fenshui Heavenly Melody for a day.
Or, observing the Vast Ocean Watering Waves Painting to improve the strength of his Spiritual Power was even more rapid.
If he happened to enter the state of enlightenment, it would be faster than sitting on a rocket!
Unfortunately, those days were gone forever.
The Vast Ocean Watering Waves Painting did not respond at all. Even if he could look into his own sea of consciousness, there was no painting other than the pitiful amount of Spiritual Power in his sea of consciousness!
As for the corpse function recovery system?
Other than Chen Qiang's numb beeping sound, which sounded like a stuck disc, there was no progress either.
Sigh!
After looking inside, Chen Qiang let out a long sigh.
At this speed, when would he be able to recover?
He did not know how the outside world was now.
His phone had been completely destroyed by the strong electromagnetic storm, so Chen Qiang had to take out the communication bracelet from his ring.
As soon as he took out the communication bracelet, Chen Qiang saw dozens of messages inside.
The messages came from two sources. One was from Elder Xu, and the other was from Xiao Li.
Other than the dozens of messages sent on the first day, the two of them would send a new message every day, asking where he was and whether he was safe.
Chen Qiang knew that if there was any new situation in the outside world, Elder Xu would definitely receive the news immediately. Therefore, he first contacted Elder Xu.
"Elder Xu, are you all right? What's the situation outside now? I've been hiding underground and didn't dare to go out! "
Chen Qiang sent a brief message that was more relaxed.
Almost immediately after he sent the message, the screen of the communication bracelet flashed continuously.
Elder Xu's words were like a machine gun, shooting out one sentence after another.
"You're not dead yet?!"
"Where are you now?"
"Do you know that I'm about to die from anxiety?!"
"Why did you only reply after eight days?"
Chen Qiang stared blankly at the messages that kept appearing on the screen. While smiling bitterly, he felt a little touched. "Elder Xu, aren't I living well? Can you tell me if it's possible to go out and walk around in the current environment? "
"No!" Elder Xu replied, "Although we are far away from the explosion site, due to the weather conditions, some radioactive materials still drifted to us. It will take a long time for nature to completely absorb these harmful materials. Of course, we are now waiting for rain!
As long as it rained, they would be able to adapt to moving on the ground.
So, before that, wait patiently for news. Don't mess around! "
After receiving Elder Xu's message, Chen Qiang felt a little more confident. After a while, he sent another message.
"Elder Xu, how are the losses?"
Although it was only six words, Chen Qiang knew that Elder Xu should understand what he meant.
Sure enough, it took a long time for Elder Xu to reply again.
"Immeasurable!"
"Although you issued a warning in advance, this kind of thing can't be forced on the people. Many people didn't listen to the order to hide in the underground bunkers, so they were hurt a little."
"And according to reliable sources, the number of victims is still increasing. Most of the reason is that those people want to reunite with their families as soon as possible."
"This is human nature, but during this special period, we encountered such an unexpected situation … Sigh!"
"In addition, after receiving your message, we also notified other countries through some channels to be on guard, so as not to cause a strategic misjudgment."
"Unfortunately, there is no real trust between countries. No one believes the information and reminders we provide, so it caused such a big disaster today!"
"Although all the extraterrestrial satellites are destroyed, because we set up a marine positioning system here in time, and there was no nuclear explosion, our losses are relatively much smaller than those of other countries."
"However, in order to find out the situation outside, we have sent reconnaissance planes to other places to check the specific situation of other continents."
"I believe that there will be a summary of the new situation soon. By then, we will know how big of an impact the Sanctuary Alliance has brought to the world this time!"
After a while, Elder Xu sent another message, "Chen Qiang, this time, you have done a great job! But at the same time, as a Chinese, this is what you should do! "
…
It was a short sentence, but it reflected a lot of meanings.
On one hand, Elder Xu affirmed Chen Qiang's contribution, and on the other hand, he also reminded Chen Qiang that he was a Chinese, and it was his duty to protect the Chinese and this land!
It was also this last sentence that made Chen Qiang suddenly realize that it seemed that he had not felt this sense of identity for a long time!
For a long time, or rather, since he transmigrated to the future and experienced all kinds of changes, in Chen Qiang's heart, other than his own personal grudges, other thoughts had long faded away!
During the time when he lived in the future, he had long lost the concept of a country, so naturally, he did not have any sense of identity.
If he had to talk about a sense of identity, it might be during the three-way war between the human race, the ability users, and the aliens, right?
But that was only the recognition of the human race.
Later, it rose to the attack and defense between the earth space and Shengmo Dalu, and when he transmigrated back, he was immediately entangled in the matter of Gao Wei's murder of him.
Even though he knew what was going to happen on the 6th of February, he only reminded Elder Xu in advance for the sake of temporary peace of mind.
When Chen Qiang did all this, he was not as noble as Elder Xu imagined him to be. What sense of identity as a citizen, what kindness in his heart, he did not have any of these!
It wasn't until that moment when Elder Xu's last sentence that Chen Qiang suddenly realized what was going on!
No matter how the world changed in the future, at least at this moment, he was still a Chinese, and still standing on the land of China!
