Orphaned and working tirelessly for three years, I finally bought my own house only to face the apocalypse. For the second time, I must endure the same catastrophic disaster.
But this time I ...
It was quite late when they got home. Zhou Pin made noodles and ate them. After dinner, they watched a movie for a while and then went to bed.
Over the next few days, the two harvested walnuts, chestnuts, hawthorns, pine nuts, hazelnuts, ginkgo nuts, and other fruits from the hillside, as well as a considerable number of saplings.
Shuke and Beta discovered another wild fruit forest: blueberries, schisandra berries, ground cherries, black nightshade, cherries, hawthorns, wild grapes, wild jujubes, frozen pears, physalis, apples, pears, and so on.
After harvesting the dried fruit, the two immediately went on to harvest fresh fruit, keeping themselves busy and fulfilled every day.
The wild fruits on the mountain would probably be picked in another day. As usual, Shuke and Beta came up the mountain with Xu Lin and Zhou Pin. The wolf cubs hadn't come to play for two days, and they were a little disappointed.
As they were picking wild berries, the wolf cubs arrived, followed by a pack of wolves. Xu Lin and Zhou Pin, who were in the tree, exchanged a glance. What was going on?
The wolf cubs cuddled with Shuke and Beta for a while, then left reluctantly, looking back several times, after being urged by the big white wolf.
“They seem to be migrating,” Xu Lin said.
Dozens or even hundreds of wolves together at night could scare a person to death.
"Hmm." Zhou Pin said somewhat seriously.
"Could this be a sign of a disaster? Animals react more sensitively than humans," Xu Lin said.
"Look over there."
Zhou Pin pointed to the distant sky. Large patches of dark clouds were gathering over the sea and slowly moving in their direction.
"The wolf pack doesn't seem to be in a hurry, and they still have time to say goodbye. Let's collect the fruit first, and then put the wooden house at the foot of the mountain into our space."
The two quickly finished collecting the fruit, and instead of carrying it back, they put it all into Xu Lin's spatial storage. The two then ran home.
There were many ants on the road, and occasionally snakes appeared. The medicine powder on Xu Lin and Zhou Pin could not stop them from moving. Birds flew and chirped in the sky.
Shuke and Beta probably sensed the approaching danger and became restless, so Xu Lin took them into her space as well.
Everything foreshadowed the impending disaster.
Back at their home at the foot of the mountain, Xu Lin went to the backyard and put the pigs, chickens, and ducks into her spatial storage; they were already running around wildly in their pens. Zhou Pin went inside to tidy things up so Xu Lin could put them away more easily later.
It took Xu Lin an hour to clean up the house inside and out, including the fence.
Finally, only the wooden house remained. Xu Lin placed her hand on the pillar and used her mind to store it into her space, instantly turning the area in front of her into an empty space.
Seeing that there was still time, the two harvested the bamboo. Although it wasn't worth much, they had planted it one by one, and the sentiment behind it was priceless. They also stored the vegetables from the field, which they had already harvested, into their spatial storage.
After they finished collecting everything, the dark clouds were gradually approaching them. The two ran up the mountain again, knowing that whatever disaster might come next, it would be safer on the mountain than down below.
The two did not stop halfway up the mountain, but climbed to the top in one go. By then, dark clouds had reached their heads, and although it was afternoon, the sky was black.
The two didn't want to waste any time, so it was safer to stay outside before the disaster started. As long as they stayed together, they could enter the space the instant the disaster struck.
The problem now is that we don't know what disaster is coming, because the space is designed so that you enter and exit from the same place. If the place where the two people enter becomes ruins, they will definitely be buried under the ruins when they come out.
At this moment, the two were like lambs waiting to be slaughtered, not knowing when or where the knife would fall.
