Although the old woman didn't believe it, she had no say in the matter.
She could only look at Tan Mingda, but he didn't react at the moment, seemingly still pondering.
Zhang Tianyuan smiled, knowing that Tan Mingda and the others were still debating whether it was true or false.
This is actually quite easy to solve; all we need to do is open Spacetime Tunnel.
However, doing so would disrupt the flow of the conversation, so it's better to postpone it a little longer.
Whether Tan Mingda and the others believed his identity or not was irrelevant.
Tan Mingda was already certain that their identities were extraordinary, and his current hesitation and contemplation were proof of that.
That's enough.
All that's left is to go with the flow, and things will fall into place naturally.
He doesn't need to rush to prove anything to people like Tan Mingda.
So Zhang Tianyuan turned his attention to the current situation of the world.
What he just learned from Zhou Tao was only from the perspective of ordinary people, which came from radio news, and thus the perspective was relatively narrow.
We can only say that a certain phenomenon exists, but we cannot say what causes it.
Tan Mingda didn't hesitate when asked this question. He leaned back in his chair to find a more comfortable position and said, "Right now, our country is the only one in the world still operating in an orderly manner."
"Have other countries completely collapsed?" Zhang Tianyuan asked.
He recalled that signs of human activity could still be seen in other parts of Eurasia.
Tan Mingda shook his head and said, "No, there probably aren't any. Other countries probably still have some bandits and tyrants living off their stockpiled supplies."
A country usually has a certain amount of reserves of supplies. As long as someone successfully seizes those supplies, it is enough to guarantee basic survival in the long run.
Thinking of this, Zhang Tianyuan continued to inquire about more details.
Tan Mingda didn't hide anything and answered many questions.
From his words, Zhang Tianyuan gained a broader perspective.
Less than a day after the solar storm occurred, other countries were already in widespread chaos.
Communications, power, and a large number of electronic devices were damaged.
Temperatures rose sharply, and sunlight quickly became an invisible sword.
Fires caused by the high temperatures spread everywhere, leading to widespread heatstroke and an outbreak of various diseases due to the drastic climate change.

At this time, fire departments, hospitals, and other facilities were brought to a standstill for various reasons.
The whole world was in chaos at the time.
Even Tan Mingda and his team only managed to restore order through militarized management, simultaneously carrying out disaster relief and rescue efforts while also sealing off and collecting supplies, and implementing rationing...
However, other countries do not have this efficiency or capability.
Especially after scientific departments determined that the ozone layer has been severely damaged, and that Earth is highly likely to face another mass extinction...
Other countries have gone mad.
There's no time to worry about disaster relief; people are too busy saving themselves.
This was the most critical blow, directly dispelling most people's thoughts of disaster relief.
No one believes that humanity can survive such a disaster.
Therefore, other countries were plunged into an even deeper hell.
Especially in countries where citizens are allowed to own guns.
The scenario of "my neighbor hoards grain while I hoard guns" is playing out all the time; my neighbor is my granary.
Hearing this, Zhang Tianyuan finally grasped the atmosphere of the movie.
It was still early in the apocalypse, and the protagonist didn't have a gun, so he was forced to stay hidden by a nine-year-old girl with a gun and her mother, fearing that he would be shot in the head.
It is clear that in these types of countries, guns represent power in times of apocalypse.
This situation not only exacerbated the chaos but also greatly increased the cost of restoring order.
And the result is obvious.
Up to now.
It has been fifteen years since the apocalypse. Although many people on the protagonist's side have survived, and there may even be people in most cities, no organization has yet emerged that can or is willing to launch a nationwide relief effort.
In contrast, consider Tan Mingda and his group.
In the early stages of the apocalypse, looting of supplies was not uncommon and was quite prevalent.
However, these incidents are generally of low intensity and can only be described as fights, making them very easy to handle.
Therefore, order was quickly restored.
Moreover, Zhang Tianyuan learned something else from Tan Mingda's words.
It turns out that the areas in other parts of Eurasia that he saw with obvious signs of human activity were actually places that Tan Mingda and his team had sent out.
"We sent a lot of people out, mainly to obtain urgently needed supplies and materials from China, and also to gain firsthand understanding of the situation in other countries."
Tan Mingda
As he spoke, he pointed to several countries on the map, all located on the Eurasia Continent.
Moreover, the people they sent out even brought back many highly skilled individuals from other regions...
Zhang Tianyuan greatly admired this.
At the same time, it suddenly occurred to me that this space-time is somewhat like a larger version of the Legend World.
If Tong Wenshi Tan Mingda and others, had continued to develop for another ten years or so, and integrated the strength of the whole country, he could have achieved the same level.
With that thought in mind, the thoughts of Antarctica and the space station suddenly popped into my head.
Zhang Tianyuan immediately inquired.
It was later learned that the astronauts on the space station had safely evacuated after the solar storm. Xxs-2
The scientific expedition team in Antarctica was also brought back after order was restored.
The rescue team that Tan Mingda and his team sent out even brought back scientific expedition teams from other countries.
Therefore, this timeline doesn't need to worry about desperate rescues.
Having said that, Zhang Tianyuan had a general understanding of other countries in this timeline. He smiled and asked Tan Mingda and the others:
"Then I'll take you all to receive the supplies now."
"In addition to 30,000 tons of fruit, I also brought 30,000 tons of grain. Although it's not a lot, it represents the goodwill of our Mutual Aid Society."
"You're too kind..." Tan Mingda got up and put on his protective suit. You could tell from his tone that he was very happy.
Even the old woman who had been staring at Zhang Tianyuan with suspicion smiled.
This so-called Mutual Aid Society might be fake, but the supplies they brought were real.
Thirty thousand tons of grain is indeed not a lot.
What's truly remarkable is that 30,000 tons of fruit.
The only fruit they can get now is canned fruit.
Moreover, the quantity is extremely limited and is only distributed as a special reward.
The car drove back to the street where the convoy was parked.
Zhang Tianyuan continued on the way, asking Tan Mingda if there was anything in their timeline that urgently needed help.
"Whether it's medicine or food, the Mutual Aid Society can help you coordinate."
After listening to Zhang Tianyuan's promise, Tan Mingda thought for a moment and cautiously gave an unexpected answer, "We have already achieved self-sufficiency, and there is no urgent need for any supplies."
Zhang Tianyuan smiled, ignoring the wariness in his words, and led him out of the car, then had someone open the cargo door...
