In the apocalypse, I hoarded goods and handed over my storage space to the government.
Chapter 3 The Final Interrogation: A "Record" from the Future
Three underground floors, the Ministry of State Security's highest-level "silence room".
There are no windows here; the walls are embedded with state-of-the-art micro-expression capture devices, and pressure sensors are hidden under the sofa.
Even the sandalwood scent contained trace amounts of medicine that could induce relaxation.
The air filtration system emitted a barely audible hissing sound; otherwise, all was silent.
This extreme silence is itself a form of torture.
Li Guodong personally poured him a glass of water. The shock on his face had not completely faded, but his eyes had regained the prudence and sharpness of an old Guoan officer.
"Comrade Su Ran, what just happened is beyond my comprehension."
Li Guodong said in a deep voice, "But the more complicated things are, the more the procedures must be completed. Next, a top-tier team of experts in China will conduct a comprehensive evaluation of you. I hope you will cooperate."
"I said I'm waiting."
Su Ran picked up her water glass, blew on the steam, and remained calm.
This sense of relaxation caused the experts in the monitoring room, who were watching the screens, to furrow their brows.
Squeak.
The door opened, and an old man with gray hair and gold-rimmed glasses walked in.
He has a refined and scholarly demeanor, and looks like a university professor.
Chen Wang, a leading figure in the field of psychology in China and the chief psychological consultant specially appointed by the Ministry of State Security, has spent his entire life dealing with the world's top spies and psychopaths.
"Comrade Su Ran, hello, my name is Chen Wang."
Professor Chen sat down with a smile, his gaze as gentle as that of a kind old man next door. "Just chatting? Like... what you called 'ten years from now'."
"Can."
Su Ran put down her water glass, leaned back, and asked, "Professor Chen, from which angle would you like to approach this? Is it my post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), or my antisocial personality tendencies?"
Chen Wang's smile froze slightly.
Turn the tables!
"It seems you have some knowledge of psychology."
Chen Wang quickly composed himself, his gaze behind his glasses becoming profound. "Let's change the subject. What's the principle behind your spatial abilities? Is it a special power? Or magnetic field distortion?"
"It's a superpower. It will appear among the surviving humans after the apocalypse, but the probability is extremely low," Su Ran said calmly.
"So you say you have unlimited space, does this ability... have a limit?"
This is testing the boundaries of capability and its side effects.
"limit?"
Su Ran smiled, her eyes becoming unfathomable. "Professor Chen, have you ever seen a black hole? A void without boundaries, without end. This is my space."
"Except for living things, it is absolute infinity."
"Professor! Something's wrong! His heart rate, blood pressure, skin conductance... haven't shown any abnormal fluctuations!"
A technician, his voice trembling as he looked at the data on the instrument, exclaimed, "What he says is absolute truth in his mind!"
Chen Wang adjusted his glasses, a hint of surprise flashing in his eyes.
This young man has an unusually strong mentality.
"An assessment cannot be conducted."
Chen Wang drew a line on the assessment report and wrote: "The conventional assessment failed. Recommendation: Initiate the highest level physical lie detector test."
……
Half an hour later, Su Ran was taken to another room.
This time it was a cold metal wall. He sat in a specially made chair, his arms, chest, and fingertips connected to various complex wires.
A technician with a blank expression was in charge of the operation, while Li Guodong and Chen Wang stood behind the one-way glass.
"Name?"
"Su Ran".
"age?"
"24".
The waveform on the instrument is as smooth as water.
Will it rain blood on July 15th?
"meeting."
The waveform remains stable.
Li Guodong's fists clenched involuntarily.
The technician in charge of the lie detector test began to sweat; he had never seen anything like it in his twenty years of experience.
Faced with such a worldview-altering question, it's impossible for the test subjects' physiological indicators to remain unresponsive.
He raised his voice, and the questions became increasingly pointed.
"Is the apocalypse you're talking about just something you imagined?"
"no."
"Are you lying about possessing infinite space?"
"no."
"Are you ulterior motives for getting close to the country?"
"Yes."
Upon hearing this question, Li Guodong and Chen Wang, behind the glass, felt their hearts leap!
Here it comes! Is the fox's tail about to be revealed?
The technician perked up and immediately pressed, "What are you plotting?!"
Su Ran raised her eyes and calmly looked at the air in front of her, as if she could see through the glass and into Li Guodong's eyes.
"What I'm after is all the resources that this country can mobilize."
"What I'm after is the hope that more people of Daxia can survive."
boom!
It felt like a thunderbolt had exploded in Li Guodong's mind.
On the instrument, the peak curve representing lies didn't budge an inch!
The technician muttered to himself, "A monster, this is definitely a monster. His mental defenses are harder than alloy."
Chen Wang pushed up his glasses and said bitterly, "It's not that he has a strong mental defense. It's because his 'cognitive' dimension is on a completely different level from ours."
"Every word he said was the truth in his own understanding."
Li Guodong fell silent.
Is the end of science theology?
Is there really a chance for a complete reversal and rebirth?
"I need more irrefutable evidence."
Li Guodong's voice came through the microphone in the room, carrying a sense of desperate gamble.
"Comrade Su Ran, I need more information that can be verified immediately, is absolutely top secret, and cannot be known by outsiders."
He's gambling.
They're betting on the fate of the nation, betting on whether Su Ran is truly a prophet.
Su Ran looked at him and suddenly smiled.
"I actually have one."
He glanced at the clock on the wall and said something in a flat tone.
"An hour later, at the Nantianmen Space Center in Jiuquan, Academician Zhang, the chief scientist of the Kuafu Project, will collapse in the control center due to a sudden onset of myocarditis. There will only be four golden minutes for rescue."
Li Guodong's face turned deathly pale instantly!
The "Kuafu" Project! The Sun-Chasing Project!
This is a project with a higher level of secrecy than "Thunder-24"!
Academician Zhang is a national treasure among national treasures!
His health is monitored daily by a dedicated medical team, how could this be...?
"How did you know?!" Li Guodong exclaimed.
I saw it on the news in my past life.
Su Ran shrugged. "At the time, the whole country was in mourning. I remember this incident very clearly. It was said that I missed the best time for treatment because I had been working overtime for 72 consecutive hours."
Li Guodong suddenly turned around and rushed towards the red telephone on the wall.
His hands were trembling.
If Su Ran was talking nonsense, then it was just a false alarm at most.
But what if... it's true?
Su Ran's existence is not a threat, but the only salvation bestowed upon Great Xia by Heaven!
The call was connected.
"Get me to Jiuquan! Find the commander-in-chief of the 'Kuafu' Project!"
"Level One Alert! No! Top Alert! Have Academician Zhang immediately drop everything and go to the medical room for a full checkup!!"
Li Guodong roared into the microphone, veins bulging on his neck.
After hanging up the phone, the interrogation room fell into a deathly silence.
Li Guodong, Chen Wang, and all the technicians stared intently at the clock on the wall.
Tick.
Tick.
Every second felt like a heavy hammer blow to everyone's heart.
Fifty minutes later.
Li Guodong's encrypted phone started ringing like crazy.
His hands trembled as he answered the phone, and the voice of the person in charge of the Jiuquan base, still shaken, came through the receiver.
"Old Li! My God! Thank you! Thank you so much!!"
"Academician Zhang... Academician Zhang just collapsed on his way to the medical room! That perfectly matches the acute symptoms of myocarditis!"
"Thankfully... thankfully we had prepared emergency equipment and specialists in advance, and we administered the medication on the way! The doctor said that if we had been two minutes later, even a miracle wouldn't have saved him!"
"Old Li, how...how did you know?!"
pat.
The phone slipped from Li Guodong's hand and fell to the ground.
He slowly raised his head and looked at the young man on the sofa who had remained calm throughout.
The last trace of doubt in his eyes vanished completely.
Instead, there was a fervor born of seeing the dawn of salvation, and a deep sense of awe!
It's confirmed.
This is a prophecy from the future!
Li Guodong suddenly grabbed the red, top-level encrypted phone and dialed a number he never thought he would be able to dial himself.
His voice was hoarse, yet carried a trembling determination:
"Commander!"
"I am Li Guodong from the Ministry of State Security!"
"I request... that the highest level of emergency response be activated immediately! Everything he said is true!!"
