The apocalypse arrived, but there were no zombies. Only unpredictable extreme weather and daily squabbles forced humans to survive on instinct alone to avoid being eliminated.
Yun Qi struggle...
Yunqi drew the curtains, took his farming tools and seeds, and entered the space.
She went to a corner, picked up a hoe, and began to try to cultivate the land. When Yunqi was little, her parents often took her to their hometown to learn farming, so she had some basic knowledge of cultivation. Digging into the ground, Yunqi grabbed a handful of soil. She found that the soil here was very fertile, and the moisture level was just right, making it very suitable for planting. But whether it would actually grow anything depended on the results of the experiment.
Based on her experience, she cleared a small plot of land, about two-tenths of an acre. Having not worked in a long time, Yunqi was exhausted and covered in sweat. If only this space could be like QQ Farm, where you could harvest everything with a single click! Actually, Yunqi had tried using her mind to work based on the stories she'd read about spaces, but nothing worked. She should be content; having a space at all was already quite good.
Yunqi divided the land into four sections. He planted radishes, cabbages, broccoli, and corn in each section. Only after planting did he realize, "What if the vegetables don't grow? I'm so stupid to have opened up such a large plot of land."
She was getting really hungry, so she quickly left the space. Only then did she realize that ten minutes had passed. She felt like she'd been inside for two hours, so how could only ten minutes have gone by? Was the flow of time different? She'd have to do an experiment next time.
After eating and drinking her fill, she patted her belly and felt so comfortable! She remembered the ice cream she had put in that morning, wondering if it had melted and if it could be preserved.
She ran inside again and found the ice cream still inside. Oh, it had a preservative effect! Now she could prepare supplies in advance.
She turned on her computer and checked all her assets. After working for three years, plus the spare change she had accumulated and the investments her parents had made for her, all of it added up to less than 300,000 yuan. It really wasn't enough.
At this moment, she remembered a colleague who liked to trade stocks. She often heard him talk about which stocks were skyrocketing and which were plummeting. Apparently, there was a dark horse stock before the new year that she could try investing in. So, she decided to temporarily put the money aside, and the purchase of supplies would have to be postponed. There was still plenty of time; the big breakout was still two years away.
After a busy day, including planting crops, the thought of having to go to work tomorrow is really making me feel a bit out of sorts.
"Never mind, things will work themselves out. Let me rest first." As she finished her work and lay down on the bed, she thought, "It's been so long since I've been snuggled up in a warm bed. Ah, so blissful!"
Thinking back to when the apocalypse came, I haven't had a single good night's sleep since. I've basically been spending my days traveling and seeking refuge. Because of the widespread earthquakes, all transportation routes were disrupted, so I had to rely on my own two feet to get around. Just thinking about it makes me want to cry.
As I pondered these thoughts, I drifted off into a sweet dream.
On a bed dominated by black and white, he was sweating profusely, shaking his head and calling out to Xiao Qi. He suddenly sat up, patted his head, and thought about the scene in his dream. Why would he have such a strange dream?
Yunqi was completely unaware of all this. She had automatically woken up at the crack of dawn, a habit she had developed over many years. Travel was only possible during the day; at night, traps lurked everywhere, and one could easily fall in and never be able to climb out again.
Seeing that it was still early, she quickly ran to her space and found that the seeds she had sown yesterday had actually sprouted. Now she felt more secure about her future.
