Closer to My True Form Every Day

Chapter 2: Rat plague

Views:

Feng Yi blushed after sending the message.

What he wanted to borrow was not just "a little" money.

It is quite rare for ordinary people to borrow fifty or one hundred thousand yuan. What he wants to borrow is a sky-high price for ordinary people.

Thinking about it, Feng Yi sighed, rubbed his face vigorously, and added a few more words: It would be even better if I could get an advance, or write an IOU and stamp it. I will go to Yangcheng within three days to handle the family tree. If what you said is true, it shouldn't be difficult, and I will complete it even if it is difficult. Then, how about the 100 million miles, advance part of it first, so that I can help in an emergency

I thought I would be left hanging, but I didn’t expect to receive a reply so quickly—

You can't get an advance, but I'll lend you some money personally, so you don't need an IOU. Wait a minute.

Feng Yi organized his words and typed: The amount I want to borrow is not small...

Before he finished editing this reply, he received a text message from the bank, notifying him that 30 million yuan had arrived in his account, just enough for him to pay off his debts.

The bank card number was written on the agreement I just signed, so it’s not surprising that the other party knows the card number.

The other party checked his information and observed him for more than a month and knew the amount of debt he owed, so it was not surprising that he was stuck at this amount.

but…

Such a large amount of money can be transferred so quickly

No need for counter operation or something? Or is there another fast track

Feng Yi took a deep breath, searched for the nearest ATM on his phone, and ran to check the balance on his card.

Thirty million has indeed arrived!

Not a fake message!!

Also, what the old butler just said was "I will lend you some first"

Feng Yi clutched his phone tightly and fell into deep thought.

Is this the butler

A butler who can borrow 30 million as easily as 3,000 yuan

Normally, people would ask a few more questions when borrowing 3,000 yuan, right? How could the old housekeeper lend it to them so easily

At this moment, in Feng Yi's eyes, the profession of butler seemed to shine with dazzling golden light.

Of course, this also means that the inheritance left by the great-aunt whom he had never met might be much more than he could imagine.

Feng Yi, with mixed feelings, sent a text message to the old housekeeper: Aren't you afraid that I will take the money and run away

Butler: [smiles]

Feng Yi: [well behaved]

Although Feng Yi was sending cute emoticons on his phone, he was extremely alert in his heart.

The old butler was not afraid that he would run away.

Can't run away.

Maybe the newly synthesized zodiac coin has a positioning function. Even if it doesn't, the person who can use this technology is definitely not simple.

Realizing this, Feng Yi let out a breath, walked to the parking lot and drove home.

There is no point in thinking too much, just solve the problem at hand first.

Feng Yi made an appointment with the cooperating companies to pay the compensation tomorrow. He planned to go home and have a good sleep to replenish his energy.

He hadn't slept well for a week, and today's events had been too much of a shock, so he was now dizzy and had a headache. However, the stone that had been pressing on his heart for a long time had been temporarily removed, and he felt a rare sense of relief, and his breathing became smoother.

When I got home, I immediately caught up on some sleep.

Although it was daytime, I slept soundly until I was woken by the doorbell.

The visitor was not a debt collector, but Wu Ji, a college classmate who lived in the same building.

"Are you okay? I called you over a dozen times but you didn't answer. You didn't reply to my messages. I almost called the police!"

Wu Ji observed Feng Yi. Feng Yi looked like he hadn't woken up yet, but his mental state was much better than a few days ago. Even with this look, his appearance was still better than most people's. He was worthy of being the one who was snatched by Tony, the barber shop at the school gate, to shoot a commercial in his freshman year.

Knowing that Feng Yi was fine, Wu Ji felt relieved. Living so close to him, he didn't bother to be polite with Feng Yi. After entering the house, Wu Ji poured himself a glass of water and sat down.

"Have you found the person who ran away with the money from your studio

Feng Yi didn't tell them too many details, so Wu Ji only knew that the partner of Feng Yi's studio cheated him and ran away with the money. Feng Yi had to pay a lot of money. Feng Yi didn't say how much, but judging from the past few days, it was definitely not a small amount.

"Not yet." Feng Yi said, "But there is a solution."

"What solution?" Wu Ji asked stutteringly.

Feng Yi now has one foot on the edge of the entertainment industry, and he is afraid that Feng Yi will take the wrong path. Some paths are difficult to turn back once you start.

Feng Yi thought about it and said, "Find a rich relative."

Wu Ji was skeptical.

"That's good. I can help you think of a solution as long as you still need some money." Wu Ji said.

He invested a lot of money in the renovation of his own shop last month. He was very busy these days and is actually quite short of money now. However, he doesn't want to see Feng Yi go the wrong way.

Wu Ji's family got rich from the demolition. At that time, they used the demolition money to buy two houses in the same building, one on the 5th floor and the other on the 29th floor. His parents lived on the 5th floor, and he lived on the 29th floor, just below Feng Yi. Later, he took out a loan to buy a shop at the entrance of the community and ran it himself. After graduation, he became a small boss. Although he was short of money, he could still come up with a few hundred thousand.

"Thanks, but I can handle the money issue myself."

Feng Yi didn't tell them in detail because he knew Wu Ji's situation. If he owed a few hundred thousand, he could borrow money from Wu Ji and others for emergency, but if he owed more than 20 million, Wu Ji and others would not be able to help. Moreover, this matter was more complicated, and he didn't want to involve too many irrelevant people.

Seeing that Feng Yi didn't seem to be holding on and his mental state was improving, Wu Ji didn't continue the topic.

"Okay, it's a good thing that it can be solved... Oh, by the way, I'll be staying on the 5th floor for the next few days. If you want to find me directly, go to the 5th floor." Wu Ji said, "The community has been plagued by rats recently... Did you know that the whole community is plagued by rats? The owners' group has been arguing about it for a few days."

Feng Yi nodded, "I've heard a little, but not much. I haven't checked the community owner group recently because of the studio's affairs."

Wu Ji continued, "Then let me tell you. Recently, there has been a rat plague in many places in the city. Last week, the two neighboring communities hired people to exterminate the rats, but the rats were not killed and fled to other communities. Our community is the closest and was hit the hardest. I heard that a child was bitten by a rat. I don’t know if it’s true. There are a lot of rumors recently, and it’s very chaotic... Hey, anyway, my parents live on the 5th floor and are very annoyed by the rats. They can’t sleep well at night. They live on the lower floors and are even more troubled."

"Your house also has three bedrooms. You can live with your parents on the 29th floor." Feng Yi said.

Wu Ji waved his hand, "My schedule is different from that of the old man. Please, let's take over and get through this rat plague. By the way, are there any rats in your house?"

Feng Yi thought about it carefully and shook his head, "I didn't see it, or maybe I didn't pay attention."

"There are fewer rats on the higher floors, but you still have to be on guard. I heard that there are rats on the 30th floor of other buildings. They have entered the building. Even if you don't take the stairs, they can still get to the higher floors. An owner of the building next door even took a photo of a rat climbing the wall!"

Wu Ji said, "Mice are really amazing creatures. You can see them no matter how high up the building you go. As long as there's food, you can see them climbing windows, walls, and balconies!

"The property management has also contacted a rodent control company, and they're going to do a major cleanup in the next two days. If you go out, close the doors and windows. There should be no problem with your diamond mesh screens. If there are holes in other places, seal them up. Check all the pipe holes. If rats really get in, it will be troublesome."

After Wu Ji left, Feng Yi checked the kitchen and found no signs of rat activity. He had been running around and not cooking at home, so the kitchen was a bit messy, with various documents piled up and takeout garbage disposed of, so there was no food exposed to attract rats.

Feng Yi stretched his body and looked out the window at the night. He actually slept all day and all night.

The bathtub is filled with water, and I feel like taking a bath and relaxing.

There is an electronic screen on the wall next to the bathtub. Feng Yi likes to listen to the news pushed by the subscription account while taking a bath. He is usually too busy to take care of other things, so he will listen to what happens every day while taking a bath, sometimes political news, sometimes social news, and entertainment miscellanea.

Feng Yi closed his eyes, relaxed his whole body, and listened to the news broadcast coming from the electronic screen.

"The world-renowned leather luxury brand XX failed to maintain its stubbornness. Under pressure from many parties, it gave up animal leather and adopted environmentally friendly leather..."

"… City X has just busted a gang that sells wild protected animal skins. Investigations have found that 50,000 skins have entered the market, including crocodile skins, python skins…"

“… Extinct plants reappear! Our scientific expedition team discovered during this survey…”

These are no longer news to Feng Yi, as similar reports appear every once in a while.

More than forty years ago, volcanic activity in many parts of the world intensified, and both those on land and under the sea were particularly active.

In addition, large and small mountain fires and forest fires occur frequently.

This is accompanied by climate anomalies that have lasted for nearly twenty years.

The abnormal climate for a long time would make even the most sluggish citizen know that something is wrong.

for example.

It was raining, heavy rain, and continuous heavy rain.

Most people face these three kinds of emotional changes:

It doesn't matter → a little annoying → starting to panic

Continuous heavy rain is just a phenomenon during abnormal climate periods. Sometimes there is also continuous drought or abnormally hot or cold temperatures.

When people take a shower, adjusting the shower head up or down by one degree Celsius can make them feel cold or scalding, and increasing their body temperature by one degree Celsius will cause obvious discomfort, not to mention those populations that are more sensitive to temperature changes.

The continued abnormal temperatures are undoubtedly catastrophic for certain populations, and if they cannot survive, they will just have to face extinction.

Abnormal climate also has a huge impact on agriculture.

During those twenty years, for the first time in history, seed banks were opened around the world.

The "doomsday seed banks" established by various countries have been opened one after another.

Under the stimulation of survival, new corresponding technologies were rapidly innovated and human life quickly stabilized.

Yet, species around the world are still going extinct at a rate that makes biologists bald.

Tens of thousands of species appear on the extinction register every year, and the rate continues to increase.

Evolution and extinction are the laws of ecological balance, but this rate of extinction is simply a foreshadowing of disaster, which makes people feel cold.

Scientists from the world's top universities have expressed their views one after another, and there are many supporters of the "Sixth Mass Extinction Turning Point Theory" -

There have been at least five mass extinctions in geological history. Previously, we have been in the early stages of the sixth mass extinction, but now we are likely at a turning point. Whether we avoid the sixth extinction or head toward the middle stages of the extinction will be proven by data.

Thus, the "sixth database" was established.

Due to the rapid rate of species extinction and the sharp decline in biodiversity, the "Sixth Database" also needs to collect data. This is a matter of survival. All relevant laws and regulations such as the "Wildlife Protection Law", "Plant Protection Law", "Ecological Environment Protection Law", etc. of various countries have been revised and new regulatory organizations have been established.

The newly revised series of laws and regulations are also called "the strictest protection laws in history."

Fortunately, after nearly twenty years of climate anomalies, it finally returned to normal range, but the Sixth Database did not give a conclusion.

Data still needs to be collected, and until conclusions are reached, the strictest protection law will continue to be in effect.

Perhaps we will have to wait for decades or even hundreds of years to reach a conclusion from the sixth database.

Is the climate anomaly really over? Or is it just around the corner

Nobody knows.

However, with the "Sixth Database", even if there is another abnormal climate period, we will receive an early warning and prepare to fight it in advance.

However, for most ordinary people, it doesn’t matter!

Unless it is an instantaneous disaster such as a meteorite, even if it is proven that we are really in the sixth mass extinction period, humans will not be extinct so quickly.

It is unlikely that we will see any progress in the Sixth Database even after this lifetime, let alone the extinction period that may last for thousands or even longer.

If you have time to think about so many things, you might as well think about what to wear tomorrow, whether there are new games, where to eat, drink, play, shop, etc.

Or think about how to deal with “Should I buy or rent a house with this salary?”, “How much more money can I save to take my family on a trip?”, “My child’s school teacher called again to ask me to be his parent”…

Extinction and the like are things that only the big guys need to worry about; they are too far away for ordinary people.

Although it’s a bit regrettable that I can’t eat some delicacies anymore and have to give up some hobbies, I still live my life as usual.

Feng Yi was born in the year when the climate returned to normal.

Older people always say that he was born at a good time.

Feng Yi didn’t know whether it was a good time or not. There were many young people like him who had not experienced the abnormal climate period and had not felt the various anxieties during the abnormal climate period. However, they felt the chaos in the food chain caused by the destruction of the ecological balance.

For example, rat plague.

For example, there are infestations of cockroaches and mosquitoes.

Natural enemies were in a state of decline during the period of abnormal climate, and these creatures, which were already very tenacious, became increasingly rampant.

Feng Yi refreshed the social platform and saw that a celebrity made some radical remarks for a public figure.

"Those who deserve to die don't die, and those who don't deserve to die die in droves."

The accompanying picture is a photo of using a slipper to hit a cockroach.

By the time you discover one cockroach in your home, there are already more hiding in your home.
