Picking Up Supreme Treasures in the Dream Realm-Chapter 588 - 372. Our ancestors have never died_2

"If ginger juice accidentally splashes into your eyes and you don’t wash it out with water in time, it could lead to vision damage, even blindness with some possibility."

"This thing also has a special effect of dispelling cold evil, which is why it got this name. Researchers have conducted experiments showing that long-term consumption can significantly reduce the chance of catching a cold."

Wen Zehan suddenly realized, "This definitely is a good thing. With the cold calamity, the weather is too cold, and too many people are catching colds. No wonder the Business Communication platform has started selling Wind Dispelling Ginger."

Though a cold is just a minor ailment, adults can just tough it out, but for infants and the elderly, it could develop into serious problems like pneumonia.

Wen Zehan took a small knife and carefully cut off a piece of Wind Dispelling Ginger, immediately smelling a strong spicy aroma.

It was a bit pungent, but with the academic spirit of a researcher, he still took a few gentle sniffs.

A few seconds passed.

Wen Zehan vaguely felt as if his body had gained a faint hint of warmth.

He commented, "According to Xia Medical theory, Wind Dispelling Ginger is a hot food. It can warm the middle and dispel cold, bolster yang and benefit qi, and should be able to treat colds."

His wife laughed, "Old Wen, the experts have validated that long ago, don’t act like you’re the big shot here."

Wen Zehan felt a bit awkward, "Recently I feel like the nation seems to be vigorously promoting Xia Medical. The latest version of the ’Home Medication Guide’ released not long ago added many Summer Medicines compared to the previous version and listed some as first choice."

His wife nodded, "I think Summer Medicines are really good."

While skillfully preparing vegetables, she changed the subject, "I feel like there are more and more foreigners in our department. Just in this past year, our department alone has added more than twenty foreigners. I guess the entire group has at least three hundred."

The couple both works at an official satellite technology research institution.

Only Wen Zehan is a senior engineer while his wife works in administrative management, exposed to numerous researchers daily, hence her sensitivity to this.

Actually, all the "foreigners" she referred to have already acquired citizenship in the Great Xia Kingdom, though she is still used to calling them foreigners.

Wen Zehan laughed, "Now Great Xia alone offers the most stable conditions for scientific research, and gives researchers good benefits, so foreign colleagues are willing to come work in Great Xia.

"I saw a statistical report earlier in the year. Since the Age of Calamity began, over a million scientific researchers and their families from various countries have immigrated to Great Xia through the ’Talent Bill.’ Some even moved an entire research institution here."

His wife wore a proud expression, "Previously, the Carmenia Federation was the global center for academic research, now the center has shifted to Great Xia."

Wen Zehan looked at his wife’s demeanor and teased, "I remember ten years ago, you always talked about how great Carmenia was, how bad Great Xia was, you even thought of immigrating. I told you Great Xia would surpass the Carmenia Federation one day, and you said I was dreaming."

His wife felt a bit embarrassed, "I was naive before, brainwashed by the media, had no idea the media’s words are all deceitful lies."

She exclaimed angrily, "The nation caught those heartless liars really well."

This matter she mentioned actually happened over a year ago.

After Great Xia fully implemented the "Emergency Bill" to better control public opinion, they apprehended a large number of long-active insiders in the media field, numbering a staggering tens of thousands.

It wasn’t until a few months ago that this was disclosed by the official media. Now, all these people are working at construction sites, with the minimum sentence starting at ten years.

Wen Zehan shook his head, just about to say something, when he suddenly felt his vision blur.

Everything in the room suddenly became fuzzy, then quickly returned to clarity.

He paused, thinking maybe he had strained his eyes recently, subconsciously reaching to take off his glasses to rub his eyes.

His wife hurriedly stopped him, "Old Wen, you just touched Wind Dispelling Ginger and haven’t washed your hands, don’t touch your eyes."

Wen Zehan realized, "Oh, right, right! Almost forgot..."

Before the words were finished.

"Woo~"

A piercing alarm sounded abruptly.

The emergency broadcast within the community followed, "Citizens, spatial rifts have just appeared above Jindu City, a large number of Primordial Monsters will invade Jindu City, please head to the nearest shelter immediately."

His wife panicked, "Old Wen, what do we do?"

Wen Zehan was a bit stunned, something felt off but he couldn’t pinpoint the reason.

Then, all of a sudden.

The outside lit up.

His wife glanced out the window and shouted in shock, "Oh my god!"

Wen Zehan turned to look, equally stunned.

The couple clearly saw that the once slightly cloudy sky had split into huge fissures.

Through them, they could see endless black sand and towering dunes reaching into the clouds.

This scene was so astonishing, Wen Zehan could hardly help but think of one phrase—heaven-shattering earth-splitting.

Indeed, the sky has fallen! 𝑓𝑟𝑒𝘦𝓌𝑒𝑏𝑛𝑜𝘷𝑒𝘭.𝒸𝘰𝑚

His wife, terrified and stammering, "Old... Old Wen, is this the Sea of Death Black Sand?"

Wen Zehan snapped back from the shock and replied deeply, "Yes! So many spatial rifts, many monsters will likely descend upon Jindu City."

He paused, his tone becoming somber, "This city is doomed."

His wife grabbed his hand urgently, "Let’s quickly head to the nearest underground shelter."
