Meanwhile, the players had already traded a considerable amount of water from the anonymous seller.

With water available, players felt a sense of security.

"This water came just in time. If we hadn't been able to get water, we would have really died of thirst."

"...To be honest, don't you guys think you're being a bit ridiculous? Knowing that it will be extremely hot, why don't you store a lot of water?"

"And now they're trying to trade food for water? Isn't that a complete traitor?"

Some players are genuinely confused; the system has given notices before, so why has it turned out like this?

Then someone immediately refuted it.

"We didn't know the extreme heat would be this hot. What if the extreme heat doesn't last long? Wouldn't all the water we stored up beforehand be wasted?"

Upon hearing this, the player who had just called them funny immediately fell silent.

Unable to understand some players' thoughts, he simply shut up.

[Anonymous]: "The water source transaction is now over. Players who have not replied to this message, please do not send any more messages."

After saying this anonymously, he disappeared.

"Huh?? No way! I haven't made the deal yet!"

"Yeah, I haven't made a trade yet! I posted it ages ago, how come I haven't seen any messages from you!"

"I sent my message an hour ago, and this anonymous person still hasn't replied. Now they're telling me they're not selling anymore?"

Some players who didn't complete the transactions were very unhappy. How could they refuse a business that was offered to them?

But once the anonymity disappeared, no one could find her.

Shen Zhiyi was unaware of what happened behind the scenes in the chat area.

Because she was drawn to Daidai.

Suddenly, Daidai appeared beside her, clutching a small sickle tightly in her hand.

Shen Zhiyi reached out and poked Daidai.

He stared blankly for a moment, then hesitated for a second before handing over the small sickle he had been holding.

"?"

Shen Zhiyi was a little confused. Was this meant for her?

Isn't Daidai's favorite thing about its little sickle?

Seeing that Shen Zhiyi didn't take it, he tilted his head, not understanding, and then handed it forward again.

Shen Zhiyi took it.

The small sickle was very light; it felt somewhat like plastic when she held it, yet it wasn't.

She stared blankly as Shen Zhiyi fiddled with the small sickle, her little hands still clutching the corner of her cloak.

Shen Zhiyi glanced at Daidai out of the corner of her eye and, seeing its nervous expression, knew that it treasured the little sickle.

She didn't intend to take Daidai's things, so she returned them to it.

Daidai took the small sickle and hugged it to his chest.

After thinking for a long time, he came over and rubbed his face against Shen Zhiyi's.

Now it was Shen Zhiyi's turn to be stunned. This little guy?

Yes, I just thought Shen Zhiyi poked it because she wanted its little sickle.

But the little sickle has been there since it became conscious; it doesn't want to give it to anyone else.

But Shen Zhiyi is now its master, and it cannot refuse if its master wants the little sickle.

It is wrong to refuse your owner.

So it reluctantly gave the little sickle to its owner, but to its surprise, the owner didn't want it. It was just curious about the little sickle, and after looking at it, it returned it to the owner!

This realization made Daidai very happy, so it sidled up with Shen Zhiyi.

She circled around Shen Zhiyi blankly for a moment, then tentatively sat on her shoulder.

After patting the dazed head, Shen Zhiyi decided to go upstairs for a nap.

It's so hot outside, and there's not much to do, so I might as well go upstairs and sleep.

For several days in a row, Shen Zhiyi lived a very short life, going only between the two places upstairs and downstairs.

The dust storm moved closer to the nebula, but thanks to the small protective shield, no more sand fell on the nebula.

This sandstorm is even bigger than the previous typhoon.

Finally, one night, the sandstorm suddenly sped up, heading straight for the nebula where Shen Zhiyi was located.

Shen Zhiyi fell off the bed while she was sleeping.

If it weren't for Black Wolf blocking her way by the bed, she probably would have rolled out.

Shen Zhiyi covered her buttocks and groped her way up from the ground.

Just as he regained his footing, he was thrown to the ground by a huge jolt.

Shen Zhiyi quickly opened the panel and discovered that the sandstorm had approached her nebula at some point.

The reason her nebula is shaking so violently right now is because of the dust storm.

"Awooo!" Zookeeper! Where are you?!

The little dried fish was startled awake and, seeing that Shen Zhiyi was no longer on the bed, immediately started howling.

“Here.” Shen Zhiyi sat on the ground, hugging the black wolf’s neck.

The dried fish darted over and squeezed in with them.

Fox Moon snuggled into Shen Zhiyi's arms, "Yiyi, is the sandstorm approaching?"

Shen Zhiyi nodded, then realized she had forgotten to turn on the light and that Hu Yue probably couldn't see it, so she hummed in agreement.

"Wasn't that sandstorm still far away? How did it get so close overnight?"

Fox Moon was a little confused, but knowing that anything could happen in interstellar space, she didn't continue to complain.

The nebula was shaking violently. The black wolf gripped the floor tightly with its paws to maintain its balance and prevent Shen Zhiyi, who was leaning against it, from falling off.

Shen Zhiyi had already heard the sound of something falling to the ground downstairs.

The tremors were almost as strong as an earthquake.

After a while, the vibration frequency decreased.

Shen Zhiyi tentatively stood up, supporting herself on the bed. Although she swayed a little, she was not about to fall.

Call Black Wolf and let's go upstairs and bring all the little squirrels up.

When the door to the first-floor guest room was opened, four little squirrels had already fallen to the ground, looking dizzy and disoriented.

The room was littered with nuts and other things that the squirrel had stored, but there was no time to clean them up now.

Shen Zhiyi picked up the little squirrel and quickly went upstairs with the black wolf.

As soon as I closed the master bedroom door, the violent shaking started again.

Shen Zhiyi was caught off guard and fell to the ground, but she still held the little squirrels tightly in her arms and didn't hurt them.

"hiss--"

Black Wolf's pupils contracted, and he quickly rushed to Shen Zhiyi's side and lay down, letting her reach out an arm to hug him.

When the dried fish saw that Shen Zhiyi had fallen, it panicked and, despite the unease caused by the violent shaking, slowly made its way toward Shen Zhiyi.

"Awoo~" Zookeeper, are you alright?! Waaah~

Fox Moon rushed over and slapped Little Fish on the head. "Shut up! Yi Yi just fell. Stay next to her and don't let her fall again!"

Upon hearing this, Little Fish stopped howling and quickly lay down beside Shen Zhiyi, blocking her from both sides along with Black Wolf.

"Yiyi, are you alright?" Fox Moon was very worried about Shen Zhiyi; the fall she just took was quite severe.

Shen Zhiyi was in excruciating pain. She had just fallen and seemed to have hit her waist; it hurt terribly.

"It's okay, I'll be fine after a while." Shen Zhiyi's voice trembled slightly. "Once the shaking isn't so strong, we'll go to the bathroom compartment. There's a bathtub in the bathroom compartment, we can hide inside."

Fox Moon felt a pang of sympathy; she knew Shen Zhiyi was in a lot of pain.
