"I see we were being presumptuous. Sorry for the trouble," Bai Jingyan said apologetically. Then, he took out a pen and notebook from his pocket, scribbled a line of numbers, tore it off, and handed it to Li Tianran, "This is my phone number. If you ever change your mind, feel free to contact us at any time."

Li Tianran was silent for a moment, then reached out and took the note from Bai Jingyan.

"Sorry! Goodbye!" Bai Jingyan bowed slightly to Li Tianran twice, then turned and walked towards the Mercedes-Benz car parked nearby.

Li Tianran's eyes narrowed.

He felt more and more that this man's scheming was a little scary.

As the saying goes, one must consider the owner before hitting a dog.

He had beaten up his subordinate in front of this man, but not only was he not angry, he even smiled and left his phone number...

Such a person is either a coward, or... a typical smiling tiger!

And just based on the two crisp slaps he gave the strong man just now, it was enough to prove that he was not a coward. Besides, are there any cowards in Tianrun Company?

So, only the second possibility remained.

"..." Li Tianran took a light breath. He wasn't afraid of those violent and crazy enemies, but he really didn't want to be targeted by this kind of insidious two-faced person.

But things had come to this, so he could only adapt to the circumstances.

"You are the first person who dares not to accept my business card." At this moment, Ren Xiao suddenly spoke, her voice cold.

"Perhaps... your business card isn't as valuable as you think it is?" Li Tianran thought for a while, shrugged and smiled.

Ren Xiao's brow twitched, and a hint of anger appeared in her eyes again: "I'll remember you!"

"You're so old, why are you still saying the childish harsh words that only kids say when they lose a fight..." Li Tianran looked at Ren Xiao, sighed, and shook his head as if quite disappointed: "Saying harsh words to scare people is something a five-year-old would do. Can you be a little more mature?"

"You, you, you!"

Ren Xiao couldn't take it anymore. She felt that if she continued to stay here, she might not be able to maintain her aloof persona and would scratch Li Tianran's face like a shrew.

*Pa ta!*

She angrily closed the car door, pulled down the sunshade on the car window, and made Li Tianran disappear from her sight.

"Let's go." Bai Jingyan smiled gently and instructed Da Kui in the driver's seat.

*Weng!*

The Mercedes-Benz started and turned away.

Watching the Mercedes-Benz disappear into the distance, Li Tianran suddenly smiled.

"Retrieve the location of Hummingbird Warrior 01!"

Li Tianran spoke, and the system immediately displayed a series of images in his mind.

This was an interface like an electronic map, and on the interface, a red dot was moving at high speed.

That was Hummingbird Warrior 01, which had secretly sneaked into the Mercedes-Benz when Bai Jingyan and the others were negotiating with Li Tianran!

At this time, it was providing Li Tianran with the location of Bai Jingyan and the others at all times, like a GPS.

Yes, Li Tianran suspected their intentions.

From the moment he heard Ren Xiao reveal her identity as a member of Tianrun Company, he had suspected that the other party's intentions were impure.

This time, he decided to strike first!

...

After a whole day of hard work, Li Tianran finally completed one-third of the fish pond excavation work before dinner.

This was a big project, and it couldn't be completed in a day.

So Li Tianran didn't plan to work overtime at night.

For someone like him who was used to being lazy, it was impossible to work overtime...

And now was the time to make dinner.

Back in the small building, the news was playing on TV.

"Hello, viewers in front of the TV!"

"Today is the tenth day after the Great Cataclysm, and the cumulative death toll on Blue Star is 38.6 million!"

"The cumulative death toll in the Yanhuang Federation is 4.7 million!"

"Currently, the Federal Government is actively transferring food reserves. Please don't panic, and don't大规模抢购超市的食物 (dà guīmó qiǎnggòu chāoshì de shíwù,大规模抢购超市的食物: massively rob supermarket food). Only if we unite and follow orders can we overcome this global catastrophe!"

The host's opening remarks were still a pile of meaningless encouraging words.

"Today, we have invited Liang Tian, an expert from the Bureau of Agriculture, to talk about the current situation and how to win this war without gunpowder."

An old expert with white hair sat in front of the camera, straightened his collar and said with a smile: "Hello everyone! Hello host! I am Liang Tian from the Bureau of Agriculture!"

"The earth has been subjected to radiation and cataclysm for ten days. In these ten days, we have encountered unprecedented disasters! The land has been polluted by radiation, causing all plants and crops to produce severe toxicity, and their fruits are even more toxic!"

"After our analysis and research, we found that the toxins in these radiated crops are fatal to humans and animals."

"So far, we have not found a single case of survival after eating toxic crops anywhere in the world."

Li Tianran was reminded of Xiao Tian when he heard this.

However, he was already dead...

Expert Liang Tian continued: "As we all know, the ancient saying that food is the paramount necessity of the people has a long history. No matter when, food is the primary resource for human survival."

"We now need to face a huge problem, which is the supply of resources!"

"And after our testing, the current land is no longer suitable for planting! This is very unfortunate news! That is to say, from now on, those green plants, including grains and vegetables, will no longer be able to grow in the soil!"

"But! Everyone, don't be discouraged, don't despair!"

"Our Yanhuang Federation has mature soilless cultivation technology. After our overnight research, we have come to a conclusion!"

"Three months, at most three months! Our first batch of large-scale cultivated soilless crops can be harvested!"

"At that time, the food shortage problem will be solved!"

At this moment, countless people sitting in front of the TV cheered excitedly.

They finally saw the dawn!

Even the host's eyes were red, and he applauded: "This is really great news! From this moment on, let us quietly wait, the dawn is waiting for us not far ahead!"

At this moment, the whole country rejoiced!

But Li Tianran alone had a very solemn expression.

He didn't think that the food shortage problem could be solved after three months!

Because although soilless cultivation does not require seeds to come into contact with toxic soil, soilless cultivation requires nutrient solution to maintain plant growth, and these nutrient solutions require a large amount of water to dilute!

Li Tianran remembered clearly.

The second Destruction Epoch was related to water!

Humans had already lost the land, and if they lost water again, they might really face a disaster of extinction!
