Looking at the fried chicken, fried skewers, roast chicken, fruit mille-feuille, mini cakes, sushi, fruit salad, milk tea, and iced porridge on the table, Xu Lin shed tears of happiness.

"Why are there so many?" Xu Lin picked up a piece of fried chicken frame from the table and ate it.

"Go wash your hands first. Anyway, we have space. In this weather, the space won't spoil even if we don't put it in. We can eat outside." Zhou Pin brought dinner out of the kitchen.

Dinner consisted of rice with sweet and sour pork ribs, crispy pork bones with bay leaves, shredded pork with garlic sauce, shiitake mushrooms and bok choy, and pig's trotter soup.

Xu Lin put most of the food away in the space, then went to wash her hands and prepare to eat.

"Where are we going tomorrow?" Xu Lin picked up a piece of cartilage and crunched it.

“Head north, wherever it takes you, leave it all to me.” Zhou Pin picked up a bone and handed it to Xu Lin.

After finishing their meal, the two went to work in the space. The piglets had another litter, and new lives were born in the horses, cows, and sheep. The chicken and duck eggs were now comparable to the ball pit in an amusement park. Xu Lin thought she would make a batch of salted chicken eggs, salted duck eggs, and preserved eggs another day.

After finishing their work, they would wash up in the space and then engage in evening activities.

The next morning, Xu Lin and Zhou Pin checked the house again, putting anything that shouldn't be there into their spatial storage, then locked the door and drove off with the dogs.

I contacted Dr. Dai yesterday to keep an eye on the house, and I even left her a spare key. I trust Dr. Dai's character.

After leaving the base, Xu Lin leaned out of the passenger seat to look back at the base, but Shu Ke, who was also sticking his head out in the back to enjoy the breeze, made eye contact with her.

Xu Lin: Let's look at the scenery instead.

Although the roadside was still a wasteland, there were already some green spots on the road surface, and a few surviving trees along the roadside had sprouted new buds. Coupled with the comfortable breeze, it gave people a sense of hope.

Xu Lin squinted her eyes, enjoying the comfort of the moment, and Zhou Pin was also in a good mood.

"If we keep going forward, we'll reach Shengde City. We'll stay there for a day."

“Great! I’ve never been to a summer resort before. I should have come here when it was extremely hot.”

“Disasters are global. We are extremely hot, and even if Shengde is not extremely hot, it is still some kind of disaster.”

"Even though it's extremely hot there, it's still cooler than other places. There should be quite a few survivors, most of whom have probably gone to the base by now."

"Some of them also became outlaws."

Shengde is relatively close to Beijing, and many survivors have to pass through Shengde to get to the Beijing base. Setting up a "checkpoint" in this place would be extremely profitable.

It has to be said that Zhou Pin was right. As soon as the car entered Shengde, it encountered a group of roadblocks. Zhou Pin didn't even blink and drove straight past them, leaving the men behind with machetes and hoes stunned.

Indeed, their equipment was only good for dealing with a few refugees on foot, but it was child's play against vehicles. The group could only slink back to their ambush point and continue their wait.

The minor incident didn't affect Xu Lin's mood; she hummed a song and looked at the offline map on her tablet in the car.

"If we have the chance, we should print out all the electronic documents we have stored and laminate them. Electronic products are never reliable; if they break, they're all for nothing."

"There's a printer and paper in the space, so I'll start printing when I have time."

"There are relatively few species of animals that can be raised in this space. Let's see if we can collect more along the way."

"That's what I thought too, so I brought you to the north."

"Let's go to the Northeast and take a look. There are many mountain delicacies there, which will enrich my warehouse."
