Building pens for chickens, ducks, geese, and sheep is relatively simple.

Simply open the 1.5-meter-high plastic fence, secure it with wooden sticks, and form a circle around it.

The roaming areas for chickens, ducks, geese, and sheep have been fixed.

"Time flies when you're busy, it's already noon!"

The family of five first fed all the poultry and livestock, and then spent half a day fixing the usual activity areas of the chickens, ducks, geese, sheep and rabbits with fences.

Song Qiu'e took off her gloves, took out her phone from her pocket, and hurriedly told her daughter to take her out of the space to cook.

"Second Uncle, let's go out and rest for a bit. We'll have plenty of time to take care of these things later!"

Fearing that his second uncle's health couldn't handle it, Xu Haiguo simply persuaded him to leave the space as well.

Song Qiu'e made a simple breakfast today, but she prepared a very lavish lunch.

A braised pork trotter, a stir-fried lettuce, a tomato, enoki mushroom and lean pork soup, and a braised eggplant!

The staple food is steamed rice.

Song Qiu'e had been a housewife for many years and had developed excellent cooking skills.

The braised pork trotters were tender and melted in your mouth, with a rich aroma. Xu Jiangming and his father ate several pieces in a row.

The tomato, enoki mushroom, and lean pork soup was sweet and sour, and very appetizing. Xu Lai and her brother drank two bowls of it.

After eating and drinking to their hearts' content, Xu Chao volunteered to wash the dishes.

Xu Lai took out her phone and opened the trending news.

Sure enough, the first five news items were all about this large-scale outbreak of an unknown virus.

Xu Lai glanced at the document and learned that the symptoms of this virus infection included persistent high fever, cough, runny nose, and thick phlegm in the throat.

Moreover, this virus has a wide range of outbreaks, spreads through respiration, and spreads very rapidly.

Xu Lai clicked on the news article titled "Government's Advice to the Public Regarding This Unknown Virus".

The content is that a renowned respiratory disease expert advises everyone to wear masks when going out, wash hands frequently, disinfect with alcohol when returning indoors, and avoid gathering in crowded places.

The news article began with a bold, large-print statement: "According to statistics, this virus does not pose a direct threat of death, so there is no need to panic!"

"It seems the government was afraid of causing public panic, so it even issued a statement through official media to provide an explanation!"

After Xu Lai finished reading the news, she handed her phone to her second great-uncle and parents, who were having tea and taking a nap in the living room.

Xu Haiguo took his daughter's phone, glanced at it, and quickly turned on the news channel on the living room TV.

The news content was all about this virus.

After reading it, Xu Haiguo looked up and exchanged glances with his wife and second uncle.

The widespread outbreak of the virus across the country is exactly the same as what Lai Lai described to them ten days ago.

Thinking of this, all three of them looked very serious.

It seems that what my daughter (eldest granddaughter) said is true, so the subsequent torrential rain disaster and extreme heat disaster must also be very likely.

This virus, at least, won't kill people directly, but the torrential rains that followed for over a year and temperatures reaching 50 or 60 degrees Celsius could be fatal.

"No, Lai Lai, we can't waste time. You need to send us into the space right away so we can plant that piece of land there immediately!"

Xu Jiangming's mind automatically conjured up tragic images of the impending apocalyptic disaster, and he suddenly stood up.

"Yes, Lai Lai, your second great-uncle is right!"

Xu Haiguo and Song Qiu'e also stood up one after another, fully agreeing with Xu Jiangming's idea.

Looking at the reactions of her three elders, Xu Lai felt both touched and confident.

What touched me was that my second uncle and parents weren't entirely sure that a rainstorm and extreme heat disaster would occur in the future, but they still listened to my advice and used all their savings to stockpile goods.

If, by some chance, a natural disaster does not strike in the future like it did in her previous life, all the hard work her second great-uncle and parents had put in throughout their lives would likely be in vain.

Fortunately, thanks to the blessings of her ancestors, she was able to possess this space, and all three of her family elders were still alive.

The family huddled together, no matter how terrible the future apocalyptic disaster might be.

She believed that her family of five would survive the apocalypse!

"Xiao Chao, after you wash the dishes, disinfect the house again carefully. I'll take Uncle and Mom and Dad into the space first!"

Xu Lai didn't waste any more time. She went to the kitchen, told her younger brother about the virus outbreak and gave him instructions, and then led the three elders into the space.

In the afternoon, everyone divided up their tasks.

Xu Haiguo and Song Qiu'e, a married couple, were responsible for building simple chicken, duck, goose and sheep sheds using bricks and wooden planks.

Xu Jiangming, meanwhile, was wielding a hoe and digging in the marked vegetable patch, as he needed to plant all sorts of vegetables as soon as possible.

Xu Lai's job was to dig out the various vegetable seedlings that her second uncle had cultivated from the pots, and then, together with her second uncle, transplant them into the vegetable garden with the soil loosened.

Rabbits are good at digging burrows, so we need to prevent these four rabbits from digging out and damaging the crops and vegetable garden.

They simply put one male and one female rabbit into two separate cages for feeding.

Fortunately, they had stockpiled several rabbit cages, so they would have enough even if the adult rabbits had babies in the future.

When I have free time during the day, I also let the rabbits out of their cages to roam around in their fenced enclosure.

The afternoon passed by in the blink of an eye.

Xu Haiguo and Song Qiu'e successfully built the chicken, duck, goose and sheep pens.

Xu Lai and her second uncle transplanted the seedlings and watered them.

"Alright, Uncle, Dad, Mom, that's enough for today. Let's go out and check on things outside!"

Exhausted, Xu Jiangming looked at the remaining half of the unplanted vegetable plot and the fruit tree seedlings placed to the side. He planned to work until dark, when the space would automatically send him out.

Xu Lai knew that they had a long road ahead of them, and the land in the space couldn't be wasted, but the health of her family was the top priority.

There was no rush, so he persuaded all three of them to leave the space.

As soon as Xu Lai and the three of them came out of the space, they saw her younger brother Xu Chao holding an alcohol spray to disinfect the living room.

"Xiao Chao, is there any new news about this virus coming out this afternoon?"

Looking at her younger brother, who was already half a head taller than her, Xu Lai deliberately asked him a question.

The purpose was to train my younger brother to be more sensitive to external information.

The country is now able to manage this unknown infectious virus effectively.

In the later stages of a natural disaster caused by torrential rains, social order gradually falls into chaos, and the country no longer has the energy to devote all its resources to maintaining social order.

In that chaotic apocalypse, to survive, everyone needed to have the ability to adapt to changing circumstances.

Of the five members of this family, only the younger brother, Xiao Chao, is still a minor and the youngest, lacking experience in the ways of the world.

The apocalypse came suddenly, so she had to raise her brother's awareness of how to quickly respond to crises as soon as possible.
