The apocalypse arrives, but the five girls in Dormitory 806 haven't realized how serious the situation is until their roommates die one by one before their eyes. It wasn't until Cheng Zhi h...
After a ten-minute break, the five people in 806 gradually calmed down. Xiao Feiran kept frantically searching for something with her fingers, and finally she came to a conclusion: this thing should be an alternate dimension. In the novel, this is the biggest cheat code; having it allows one to survive until the finale.
Chen Siyu's eyes gleamed as she tentatively put her hand inside the cabinet. She didn't feel anything strange. "This is so exciting! It's absolutely mind-blowing in the world!"
Cheng Zhi sat on the floor, looking thoughtfully at the dormitory room in the closet. What kind of place was this? How big was it? Was it dangerous? Was it a gift from heaven or an unknown disaster?
Everyone watched from the sidelines. Finally, Cheng Zhi stood up, walked to the cabinet door, and wanted to go to the other side to take a look. Xiao Feiran also wanted to follow, but Cheng Zhi stopped her. "We don't even know if it's dangerous on the other side yet. I'll go and scout it out myself. If it's not dangerous, great. If it is, we'll have fewer casualties."
That hit the nail on the head. Xiao Feiran stopped stepping forward and simply handed Cheng Zhi a kitchen knife, saying, "If you encounter anything, chop it up!"
Cheng Zhi nodded and walked over, while the other four held their breath and prayed for her.
The room inside the closet was almost a replica of their dormitory, with the same six bunk beds and desks underneath, and an alarm clock hanging on the wall, but the original door was gone.
Cheng Zhi quickly turned around and saw that the area outside the balcony had turned into a flat piece of land, about the same size as the dormitory, and beyond that, a plume of white smoke enveloped the area.
Tightening her grip on the cleaver, Cheng Zhi nervously walked step by step towards the balcony, stepped over the railing, and approached the plume of white smoke. She placed the cleaver in the smoke and chopped a few times, encountering no resistance. Suddenly, an electronic synthesized voice rang out, "This area has not yet been unlocked. Please try again."
Not unlocked yet? That means the part shrouded in white smoke can also be opened up?
Cheng Zhi emerged from the cabinet, still puzzled, and recounted what she had seen and heard to the other four people.
Everyone fell into thought. Chen Siyu looked at the pile of books on the table, picked up two or three and threw them into the cabinet. Almost instantly, the books turned into a white light and disappeared.
Everyone exclaimed "Holy crap!", but Huang Yiyi yelled the loudest, practically straddling Chen Siyu, "You threw my book! What am I supposed to read in class now?!"
Xiao Feiran, who was closest to them, tried to break up the fight, saying, "The world is about to end, why are you still reading books?"
Huang Yiyi: "...I was very well comforted, but I wasn't really comforted."
After the book disappeared, Cheng Zhi and Zheng Wan quickly peered inside, but couldn't see anything different. Zheng Wan shivered with fear, "How could it just disappear? What if the person went in for too long and then disappeared too?"
Cheng Zhi gave up thinking and threw all sorts of random things from her desk into the container. After half a day, only the books had disappeared.
"I don't know if it's just my imagination, but I always feel like this dorm room is a bit bigger than ours?" Cheng Zhi paced around in the space, and suddenly a strange thought came to her mind. She turned to the other four people and said, "Is it possible that this cabinet became so big by eating books? All the books we hoarded for the past three years were swallowed up by it, and then it accidentally became like this."
The four people outside the cabinet thought about it for a while and felt that this was the most likely explanation.
Xiao Feiran simply grabbed a measuring tape from the table, deciding to put it into practice. "I'll know once I measure it," she thought.
As it turned out, the dormitory room inside the closet was indeed 1.5 meters wider than the outside room. The girls were ecstatic. It was so much bigger, and it was a space that belonged only to the five of them. It was more than enough to hold people or supplies.
Everyone finally agreed that they would move all the supplies that were originally stored in room 835 over there after everyone had gone to sleep that night. Huang Yiyi, who had been crying and wailing for books before, was now throwing all her books into the cabinet as if throwing them in would turn the dormitory into a big villa.
Finally, everyone started throwing books away, which literally made the dormitory room two meters wider. It wasn't much, but it was better than nothing.
At midnight, the students of 806 began their operation, making trip after trip between the two dormitories to move supplies.
While moving things, Xiao Feiran noticed that the cabinet space even had electricity, and she actually started thinking about buying a refrigerator.
In their previous lives, the longest any of them lived was only 10 months. They didn't know when the apocalypse would end. Now that they had this space, water and electricity were no problem, and buying a refrigerator didn't seem like a big deal either.
The five of them worked until late into the night, collapsing from exhaustion. As soon as dawn broke, Huang Yiyi's alarm clock went off. The others were fast asleep and didn't hear it, but Cheng Zhi, a light sleeper, woke up after it rang twice.
Upon waking up, the two walked to the cabinet without prior arrangement. They breathed a sigh of relief when they opened the cabinet door and saw the supplies. Fortunately, this space only swallowed books and not supplies.
Just as the two were about to turn back, Cheng Zhi's gaze swept over a cold light. She nudged Huang Yiyi with her elbow, signaling her to look at the table.
Five keys had suddenly appeared on the previously empty table. Cheng Zhi and Huang Yiyi were puzzled as to why these things had appeared out of thin air. So they took them back to the dormitory and woke up everyone to investigate.
No one had any clue, so they huddled together in twos and threes, dozing off.
Xiao Feiran, who reads many novels, quickly searched his mind and lazily said, "Is it possible that this is a portable version of that space, and we can enter this space no matter where we are with this key?"
"They gave us everything, but didn't even include an instruction manual," Chen Siyu complained with her eyes closed.
Cheng Zhi looked at the key in her hand, calmed her mind, and focused on entering the space. In the end, with a "whoosh," she disappeared from the dormitory.
Looking at the supplies around her, Cheng Zhi smiled. This was so awesome! Instant teleportation meant that even if she encountered danger, she could just dodge.
The four of them were shocked to see Cheng Zhi come out of the closet, but soon they all started trying out the keys.
Cheng Zhi continued studying the key, trying to unlock new ways to play. If it could recruit people, could it also recruit items?
Thinking about it, he placed the key on his tablet, and the tablet was immediately stored in his spatial storage.
The group was overjoyed. Great! They could buy the refrigerator, and they could do it discreetly, avoiding the dormitory supervisor's notice.
The five of them changed their clothes and went out, starting their shopping spree with boundless enthusiasm, determined to get the 806 large refrigerator.
