Blind Date in Time and Space

noon.

Chen Ji was busy all morning and only had time to reply to messages at noon.

In addition to Zhou Wan telling him to send him gifts, Xia Shumin, a young lady from Zhao State, also sent him several messages.

"The symbols mixed in the sentence are indeed used to divide the sentence structure. Thank you Mr. Chen for your answer."

This was in response to the last time Chen Ji explained punctuation marks to her.

"The little girl did use a writing brush to write words on the poetry book to communicate with Mr. Chen. Isn't this the case with Mr. Chen? What did Mr. Chen use?"

Chen Ji asked her what she used to contact her, but she didn't expect it to be a writing brush.

His plug-in is really amazing, even people from ancient times can talk to him.

No, not only the ancient times, but also Astana from the Divine Grace Continent, and the fantasy emperor Mu Xiaoxiao who seemed to be still sleeping.

How did they contact Chen Ji, one by praying and the other by destiny?

"Me? I use a mobile phone, an electronic product."

Chen Ji didn't know how to explain mobile phones to the ancients, so he just sent it directly and let Xia Shumin understand it.

Xia Shumin sent another message:

"Who is Mr. Chen? Is he the Yue Lao deity in the sky, with a respectful title, or is he a monster in the storybook? The little girl has little knowledge and is frightened. I hope Mr. Chen will understand."

After this sentence, there is another sentence.

"The little girl lives in Yongkang County, Zhao State, and my father is the governor of Yongkang County."

She also shared some information about herself, presumably because she wanted to ask about Chen Ji's origins, so she took the initiative to reveal that she was the daughter of the county governor.

The order of the information Chen Ji received was still somewhat reversed, but it did not affect his understanding.

After understanding it, Chen Ji couldn't help but laugh.

Fortunately for Zhou Wan, who lives in modern times, she has a mobile phone and can quickly accept such a thing.

But for Xia Shumin, who lived in ancient times, she was brave enough not to be frightened when writing suddenly appeared in her poetry book.

This ancient little lady must have been very curious.

How to explain modern society to her?

Chen Ji thought carefully for a while before replying:

"You can imagine me as a person living five hundred or a thousand years later. The emperor no longer exists. People can travel around the world in iron cars, ships, and airplanes (a vehicle that flies in the sky). , clairvoyance and ears can be easily achieved."

"By the way, haven't you seen Dream of Red Mansions? The illusory realm that Jia Baoyu traveled to in his dream is similar to the world I live in now, except that people can only live for a hundred years and can't do magic."

"What dynasty is the Zhao State? I have only heard of the Zhao State during the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, Qin, Han, Three Kingdoms, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties, and Tang Dynasty. I wonder which era Miss Xia is in? Or maybe there is not even the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period?"

Chen Ji asked her again, looking forward to her answer.

He and Zhou Wan lived in almost parallel worlds, but Xia Shumin lived in a land of Han culture, but there was another Yongkang County in the south of the Yangtze River in the Zhao Kingdom that Chen Ji had never heard of.

but.

It is conceivable that Xia Shumin would be shocked and curious after seeing his information in her poetry book.

Too illusory?

Of course, modern society is not too illusory, but for the ancient lady Xia Shumin, it was almost the same.

If she came to Chen Ji's world, she would definitely be extremely surprised. An ordinary mobile phone can give her a hundred questions.

Iron carriages and ferries? Can iron still fly in the sky?

What is clairvoyance and ears?

etc.

It's a pity that we can't see her surprised expression, otherwise it would be very interesting.

After replying to her, Chen Ji chatted with Zhou Wan again.

She must have been staying in the basement, and she responded quickly.

"Have you found a gift for me?"

"Well, I'll give you a piece of porcelain from the Tang Dynasty and some jewelry that my mother hid."

At first, Chen Ji was surprised that no one had found the things in her home, but then she thought about it. It was dark after the sun went out. People were already panicking, and no one searched carefully.

Ten days after the apocalypse, everyone is thinking about how to survive, and they don't care about jewelry anymore.

"Aren't you going to keep your mother's belongings?"

Chen Ji asked her that Zhou Wan had said that her parents had been killed.

"It's not a relic. Besides, their most important treasure, which is that I can survive, is the most important thing."

She sent a smiley emoticon.

Chen Ji smiled and said: "Then I will help you sell these things and only charge 10% as handling fee. I will leave the rest to you and buy you various things!"

"No, no, just keep the money. Just give me some supplies needed for survival... I don't know how much I can sell it for. I may not dare to go out in the near future."

"Afraid to go out? What happened?"

"Uh, did you hear it? It's nothing, I just met a mutant cat."

Under Chen Ji's questioning, Zhou Wan told him what happened in the morning.

Chen Ji gasped when he heard this.

After the sun goes out, the mutated creatures lurking in the darkness are completely nightmare-like existences.

According to Zhou Wan, they mutated after the end of the world, are extremely good at hiding themselves, and are extremely sensitive to light and heat.

She speculated that it was because she turned on the light of her mobile phone several times that she was noticed by the mutated cat and quietly came to the living room on the first floor of her house.

If Zhou Wan did not stop, the mutant cat would continue to approach until it threw her to the ground.

"Is that cat gone? Is it still wandering outside? Do you need me to help you with anything?!"

Chen Ji asked questions continuously.

He regretted not contacting Zhou Wan in time in the morning, as he had been busy with work.

"Don't worry, it's time to go."

Zhou Wan is calmer than Chen Ji, "Mutated creatures also want to survive. They cannot guard one prey for a long time."

Chen Ji nodded. Mutated creatures are not zombies and will not have any special attachment to living people.

According to Zhou Wan, a single mutated creature is not scary and humans can deal with it.

The scary ones are the mutant creatures that live in groups or have certain intelligence.

If the two are combined, it can turn into a disaster.

For example, a group of white rats broke through Zhou Wan's last settlement. They continued to harass the settlement and made the guards tired to deal with it. Then they chewed through the fragile parts of the steel greenhouse, allowing the cold wind to pour in, causing the crowd to panic. They launch a final attack.

Chen Ji was shocked for a long time when he heard her talking about this incident.

White mouse?

Could it be that the white mice in the human laboratory mutated and came to take revenge?

"It's a pity that I can't buy a gun for you to defend yourself."

"You can't shoot. Making too much noise will not only attract mutant creatures, but other people will also come to spy. Once you run out of bullets, or see that you are alone and weak, they will start to rob you."

Chen Ji understood that all creatures in the darkness must hide themselves.

It's like being in a dark forest.

"Don't worry, I just have a flashlight. Mutated creatures are sensitive to strong light and heat, but they are also afraid of both."

Zhou Wan chuckled.

In the midst of the apocalypse, it feels good to have someone who cares.

"Well, that's fine."

Chen Ji was still thinking about what he should give Zhou Wan for self-defense.

If guns don't work, can we use crossbows? Or the swords of the ancient world.

Yes, I'm talking about a certain young lady who is the daughter of a county governor.

Give her modern technology products and ask her to help get some "local specialties" from the ancient world. If you can't get the bows and crossbows, you can always ask for some swords, right?

This idea is feasible.

The only problem is, how to open a stable communication channel with Xia Shumin and send gifts to each other?
