"The first point?" Everyone was startled. There was more?

"I can put things in the space and they won't break, they can last for a long time. And, most importantly..."

Li Xiao lowered her eyelashes and paused for a second.

In that one second, it felt like everyone's heartbeats stopped.

For a moment, everyone's breath caught in their throats, as if suddenly the surrounding air had become a vacuum, making it impossible to breathe.

It was just a fleeting moment, yet it felt like an eternity.

"My space can hold living things."

Everyone felt as if they were hallucinating.

What does it mean to "be able to hold living creatures"?

These nine words, with a pause marked by a single punctuation mark, struck everyone's hearts with each word, one heavy blow after another, making their hearts pound and their ears tremble.

"Xiaoxiao?" Shao Jie, no longer caring whether he was disturbing her, spoke with a trembling voice. "Did I hear that right?"

Tian Tian picked at her ear with her little finger, muttering, "I think I misheard. Maybe my ears aren't working properly, and I misunderstood."

The others looked at each other, completely bewildered.

"No, you heard me right. My space is different from everyone else's. Inanimate objects and living things can both be preserved. There is no time limit."

Li Xiaoyi explained, which stopped the person in place.

"Then, then..." Meng Yang seemed to forget what he was going to say, muttering unconsciously. His eyes blinked repeatedly, his gaze unfocused.

Upon hearing this, Yu Yanbin sat up abruptly before Li Xiao could finish speaking, completely abandoning his usual elegance and composure.

He stared wide-eyed at Cheng Shaolin, his wide eyes filled with disbelief and a thirst for knowledge.

Cheng Shaolin wasn't much better off, but he always knew how to hide it and didn't exaggerate like Yu Yanbin and the others.

His wide-open pupils betrayed his shock, and he sat up straight from the sofa, tilting his head to look at Li Xiao in his arms.

Li Xiao felt his burning gaze, looked over, and smiled.

Cheng Shaolin noticed the word "apology" in the letter.

Cheng Shaolin understood immediately, stared at him for a long time, and then smiled.

Well, in her words, the matter is indeed too serious, and not a word of it can be leaked out.

In that case, not telling them is the best course of action.

Actually, continuing to conceal it is the right thing to do. As time goes by and the space is used more extensively, more and more things will be exposed.

Now, Cheng Shaolin can understand Li Xiao's behavior.

If it were him, he would also choose to keep it a secret until it could no longer be hidden.

Everyone was so shocked they were speechless, but that didn't stop Li Xiao from unleashing his ultimate move.

“Besides these, space can be increased.”

Increasing this knowledge is the same principle as enhancing superpowers.

Cheng Shaolin snapped out of his daze and asked, "This kind of growth method?"

Li Xiao looked at him and said somewhat embarrassedly, "First of all, I want to apologize to everyone."

Everyone: ...?

She looked around somewhat embarrassedly. "Um, the crystals I had here before seem to have been absorbed by the space. By the time I discovered it, some had already been used. I'm sorry, I didn't know this would happen at first."

"What do you mean? The space itself absorbs the crystals?" Meng Yang asked.

Li Xiao nodded, "Yes, it absorbed some. I noticed that there are fewer crystals inside."

Yu Yanbin placed his hands on his knees, looked at Li Xiao, and asked, "So, do you notice any changes?"

Yes, it has gotten bigger.

"What?!" Yu Yanbin exclaimed in surprise, straightening up.

"It...it got bigger?"

Everyone was shocked again.

"Yes, it increased a little bit through frequent use before. But it didn't increase much after that. When I noticed the crystals were decreasing, I realized the space had increased again."

Cheng Shaolin put his arm around Li Xiao's shoulder and asked, "How much has it increased?"

Li Xiao paused for a moment, "I haven't counted it, it's just around the outside, I haven't calculated how much it is. But, it can hold some more things now."

Everyone: “…………”

After a moment of silence, Shao Jie seemed to have realized something and suddenly jumped up, "Then what are we waiting for? Let's go!"

Tian Tian was completely bewildered by his question. "Go? Go where?"

She was still reeling from the shock Li Xiao had given her, and hadn't quite recovered yet. She didn't understand anything Shao Jie was saying and was completely bewildered.

Shao Jie looked at her with a complicated expression, and said with a hint of disappointment, "Hey, go fight zombies! Since the crystals are useful, what are we waiting for?"

A single word awakened me from my dream.

"Hey, that's right. Crystal! Let's go kill some zombies."

The two hit it off immediately, and there was a sudden, overwhelming feeling that they were about to burst through the door.

Li Xiao: …………

Does nobody care about the lack of crystals? How did the thread get so off-topic?

Li Xiao blinked; she was a little confused too.

Cheng Shaolin noticed her doubts and patted her shoulder with the hand that was around her.

"If there's less, so be it. It's not a big deal. As long as it serves its purpose, it's useful."

Li Xiao felt relieved. "Yes, it's useful. The crystal will have even greater uses in the future."

"Yes, your space can absorb things on its own without you having to do anything. It seems we need to work hard to collect crystals."

As he spoke, Cheng Shaolin looked at Yu Yanbin and received a look of approval from Yu Yanbin.

“If the crystals were used, they were used; if they were collected, they were meant to be used. If they can play such a significant role, then it was the right thing to do.” Yu Yanbin looked at the extremely excited Shao Jie, “Just as Shao Jie said, we’ll give them to you. We need to hurry.”

Cheng Shaolin nodded, "We can set off after making some plans."

Meng Yang nodded in agreement, "Okay, let's make a plan first, and we can set off once we're ready."

Unanimously agreed.

Everyone was excited, as if they had set a higher goal.

Everyone was full of energy, with an attitude of not giving up until they got something done.

"Xiaoxiao, are there any living creatures in your space?"

Li Xiao smiled and said, "Yes."

Everyone was taken aback.

I never expected it to actually exist.

What could it be?

The thought flashed through everyone's minds and instantly took hold.

"I won't tell you now, or you'll all get hungry. You'll find out when we get outside."

Everyone: "…………Yeah, that's true."

Although I felt some regret, it didn't last long. I figured it out in no time and it all disappeared without a trace.

"Alright, let's get going then. I really want to know."

"Yes, yes, I feel like there's a claw scratching at my heart, it's so painful."

The two of them were singing in unison, making everyone want to laugh.

"Alright, stop causing trouble. If you want to leave, pack your things quickly."

"Okay."

With Meng Yang's words, Tian Tian and Shao Jie immediately began preparations for their departure.

Actually, there's nothing to pack. Everything is in Li Xiao's space, and there's nothing to bring.

Nothing much was going on, so we just waited to set off early the next morning.
