The old couple joked for a while, and Sun Senwen said, "You should have heard of her name; she is Bai Tang, the founder of the Huaxia Restaurant, and also a good friend of your cousin Ye Feng!"
"Ah, so you were thinking of her! I have indeed heard her name. She is said to have met General Kate Sean on Ancient Earth and even saved his life. Because of this incident, Ancient Earth was discovered by the Alliance. However, I heard she is very low-key and enjoys adventures; she hasn't been seen since she went on an expedition twenty-five years ago. Honey, do you think she might have..."
"No way!" Sun Senwen shook his head in denial. "That person is quite capable; no matter what happens, she won't be in trouble."
If she can find a way to return to her original world, how could she not be capable?
"You seem to know her well?" Sun Senwen's wife shot him a sideways glance, genuinely feeling jealous this time.
"Hehe, old vinegar, how much have you drunk?" The Alliance doesn't have vinegar; it should be that the Alliance has very few seasonings. Soy sauce, vinegar, chili sauce, and other condiments were all brought back to the Alliance by Bai Tang and Sun Senwen. Among them, vinegar was introduced by Sun Senwen. To promote this seasoning, Sun Senwen even spread the story about being jealous.
Sun Senwen's wife replied with a pair of yin-yang eyes: "I couldn't care less about your jealousy!"
"Really? Then why do I smell something sour?" Sun Senwen said while waving his hand in front of his nose.
"Don't change the subject; quickly explain how you know that person so well?" Sun Senwen's wife had an expression that said, "If you don't honestly explain, you'll definitely sleep on the floor tonight."
"Alright, I give up!" Sun Senwen raised his hands in surrender. "Bai Tang is my partner; she once helped me deal with the Weir family."
Sun Senwen's wife gasped: "Did she play a part in the downfall of the Weir family? How could one person have that much power?"
How could it not be significant? As a traveler, Bai Tang seems to have great abilities; even Sun Senwen, who is also a traveler from the same place, couldn't help but feel jealous.
"Sir, Madam!" The butler walked in and addressed the two, "There is a guest looking for you, Sir."
"What kind of person?" Sun Senwen asked lazily. He really didn't want to give up his current leisure to entertain some so-called guest. "If it's not that important, I'm busy; send them away!"
The butler replied, "The visitor is an old acquaintance from your hometown."
"Hometown?" Sun Senwen's heart stirred. "Does she have a name?"
"Her surname is Bai!"
"It really is her!" Sun Senwen was shocked and excited. He thought he would never see her again, yet she suddenly appeared. Don't tell him Bai Tang can freely travel between two timelines—congratulations, you got it right; too bad there's no reward.
"One really shouldn't dwell on things. As soon as you think of Cao Cao, he appears!"
Sun's wife asked in confusion, "Who is Cao Cao?"
Sun Senwen chuckled and changed the subject, "Do you want to come with me to meet the guests?"
"Your guests? Why should I go meet them?" Sun's wife enjoyed basking in the sun in the garden and felt too lazy to move.
"The person coming is someone you're interested in. Aren't you going to meet them?"
"Who is it?"
"The person we just mentioned!"
"Bai Tang?" Sun's wife became interested and stood up. "I'll go greet the guests with you!"
Seeing Bai Tang's unchanged appearance, Sun Senwen couldn't help but touch the corners of his eyes, where there were already faint wrinkles. Although people in the future world aged slowly, over twenty years had passed instead of just two, and time had left subtle traces on Sun Senwen.
"Bai Tang, it's been so many years since we last met, and you still look so young!" Sun Senwen said with a hint of envy.
Bai Tang didn't have much time to catch up with old friends and said seriously, "Senwen, I'm here this time to ask for your help."
"What happened?" Sun Senwen was surprised.
"Biohazard crisis!" Bai Tang believed that Sun Senwen would understand.
Sun Senwen was shocked and immediately led Bai Tang into his study without introducing him to Bai Tang and his wife.
The soundproofing in the study was excellent, allowing Sun Senwen to safely vent his secrets.
"Bai Tang, why are you back in the future world again? How is that world doing? Did the biohazard crisis really break out? Are the teachers and children at the orphanage okay?" Sun Senwen asked anxiously as soon as he closed the door.
"I'm sorry, the apocalypse broke out too suddenly. I didn't have time to visit the orphanage to see the teachers and children. However, I gave the director ten million before, which greatly improved the living conditions at the orphanage. The children's health should be good enough for them to survive the zombie virus. The orphanage is far from the city center and sparsely populated, so the threat of zombies is correspondingly reduced," Bai Tang said dryly to comfort him. Although his words sounded nice, both of them knew that in an apocalyptic environment, how could a group of elderly teachers and weak children escape from various threats posed by the outside world?
Sun Senwen wiped his face and asked painfully, "How did the apocalypse suddenly arrive? Didn't 2012 already pass?"
Bai Tang replied, "A meteorite suddenly struck the Earth, knocking it off its orbit, causing tsunamis, volcanic eruptions, earthquakes, and various disasters. The most terrifying part is that the meteorite brought a virus from space. Then, just as described online, most of humanity turned into zombies, while some became superhumans!"
Sun Senwen's face turned pale. "The apocalypse has really come! I have abilities now, but I can't go back to help everyone!"
"You can!" Bai Tang said. "I came to find you because I want to use your abilities to help the people in that world!"
"Can you really travel between two worlds?" Sun Senwen asked eagerly; this Golden Finger was about to shine.
Bai Tang nodded. "But there are limitations. I need energy. Without sufficient energy, I can't activate the time-space portal."
"What kind of energy is needed?" Sun Senwen asked.
"This world only needs energy boards, but that world relies on zombie Crystal Cores." Bai Tang took out a sealed bottle of zombie virus from her backpack and handed it to Sun Senwen. "This contains the zombie virus. Can you find a research institute to help develop a vaccine and an antidote?"
Sun Senwen took the bottle with determination. "Leave it to me!"
"Be careful not to break the bottle. This virus spreads through the air; I don't want to ruin the future world!"
"I understand!" Sun Senwen replied, becoming more cautious in his actions. "Is there anything else I can do? Food? Weapons?"
"No need for food; I have ways to get it. What we need most right now is weapons. I hope to acquire a batch that has great lethality but isn't too advanced—something that can be manufactured with Earth's technology after research. If possible, I'd like to buy ten space fortresses!"
"Space fortresses?"
"As humanity's last retreat. If we can't defeat the zombies, humanity will have no choice but to abandon Earth," Bai Tang said. "Currently, the Chinese government has only developed medium-sized spaceships that can't even leave the solar system, let alone reach Blue Star."
Sun Senwen felt a bit troubled at first, but upon hearing that Bai Tang's space fortresses were humanity's last retreat, he immediately patted his chest and promised, "Leave it to me! Even if it costs me everything, I'll gather ten space fortresses!"
Bai Tang rummaged through her backpack for something. "You shouldn't spend your own money! This should sell for quite a bit at auction; consider it a deposit for purchasing the space fortresses and weapons!"
"Wow, priceless treasures! This will definitely cover half of the payment!" Bai Tang took out another embroidered screen she had custom-made in the Dream of the Red Chamber world—a red sandalwood base with double-sided embroidery, exquisitely crafted. Sun Senwen recognized its value; such items would sell for an exorbitant price in modern times and would be absolutely priceless in a future where their legacy had been lost. He could imagine the sensation this embroidered screen would cause at an auction in the Alliance.
"If you like, I can give you a piece. But it won't be as large as this one!"
"Then I won't be polite." Sun Senwen didn't hesitate either. In the future world, embroidered screens are treasures, but on Earth, they are merely valuable items. Now that Earth is in an apocalyptic state, people would rather have a pound of rice than a beautiful piece of embroidery. "If there are any antiques, give me a couple!"
"Blue and White Porcelain or paintings?" Bai Tang had plenty of antiques.
"Anything! I don't know much about antiques anyway!"
"I used to deal in antiques, so I know a bit! Do you know about Tang Kiln? The Tang Kiln refers to the porcelain produced by the imperial kiln in Jingdezhen, Jiangxi, supervised by Tang Ying during the Qing Dynasty. It represents the culmination of famous kilns throughout history and is a hallmark of Qianlong porcelain... The Dragon Wood Beads, also known as Wealth-attracting Beads, each have two symmetrical dragon eyes and a thick string of coins. It's extremely rare to find those with four dragon eyes; they are among the finest treasures. Dragon Wood is a remnant species from before the Quaternary glacial period. Due to the different planetary conditions at that time, the cross-section patterns appear radial, making annual rings almost invisible. Dragon Wood crafts are said to ward off evil and calm the mind; for example, if a child cries at night, placing a string of Dragon Wood beads under their pillow will prevent them from being startled awake... The Ming and Qing Bamboo Carvings should be frequently held and rubbed to enhance their luster. When handling them, one should do so gently and moderately. If you don't have time to play with them regularly, it's best to wrap them in cotton paper and store them in a cloth bag or box..." Bai Tang suddenly realized he had strayed off topic and quickly brought it back, awkwardly saying, "I'll tell you more when I have time!"
"I'm looking forward to it!" Sun Senwen said, "I will have someone input the navigation map of Blue Star into the space fortress so that the people from that world can smoothly migrate to Blue Star!"
"Migrating to Blue Star is a last resort. As long as there is a glimmer of hope, humanity doesn't want to leave Earth. After all, it's hard to part with one's homeland," Bai Tang sighed.
Sun Senwen sighed in agreement; he understood that feeling.
"Besides weapons, do you want mechas? The power of mechas is several times stronger than ordinary weapons!"
