Meng Shiwan struggled desperately in the apocalypse for three years. After death, she was reborn back to three hours before the apocalypse began.
Remembering the betrayal by her own family in...
Chapter 6 Expanding Space
After a thorough search, Meng Shiwan found seven crystal cores, a fairly good haul.
The crystal nucleus is a thumb-sized rhombus shape, white and translucent, and looks like a beautiful gemstone when held in the hand.
She ripped off her disposable raincoat, removed the blood-stained garbage bag from her feet, and returned to the RV.
I can't wait to see what the expanded space looks like.
With a slight thought, a perspective view of the RV appeared before her, clearly showing all its storage spaces.
How to allocate the seven crystal cores became the main issue.
The weather will gradually become extremely hot, so food and water are the most important things, and medicine is also indispensable.
We should save more of these.
There's also gasoline.
In extremely hot weather, the air conditioning in the RV will definitely run continuously, and the gasoline supply to the generator will also be insufficient.
The more diesel fuel used in a motorhome, the better.
Thinking about it this way, I realize I'm missing everything.
After careful consideration, she decided to expand the cabinet above the refrigerator where medicines are stored by one cubic meter.
Once the medicine was filled, it would last her for many years.
She clicked on the "expansion" label above the storage space above the refrigerator in the RV perspective view, which brought up a page to select the quantity.
One crystal core can expand to one cubic meter, so Meng Shiwan decisively chose one quantity.
After clicking OK, the location of the medicine cabinet above the refrigerator in the RV perspective view will be displayed with a small number 1, indicating that this location has been expanded by one cubic meter.
At this moment, the mechanical voice sounded again, "Congratulations on expanding the space by one cubic meter. All spaces are now permanently preserved. Keep up the good work!"
Meng Shiwan's eyes widened, shining like two light bulbs.
Permanent preservation.
Permanent freshness!!!
Doesn't that mean that no matter what you put in it, it won't spoil no matter how long you leave it?
This is just too amazing!
Only those who have survived the apocalypse know how powerful this function is.
She turned to look at the location of the medicine cabinet, but didn't notice any changes.
She walked over, opened the medicine cabinet, and found it crammed full of medicines, all of which looked the same.
"What about space? What about permanent preservation?"
The moment this thought popped into Meng Shiwan's mind, a white space appeared behind the medicine cabinet, where there should have been a wall.
It's like a piece of white mosaic suddenly appearing in a vibrant world, which is quite abrupt.
This was completely different from the cool space Meng Shiwan had imagined, it was even a bit...
Old-fashioned.
She reached into the cabinet and pushed all the medicines into the space.
She discovered that once things were inside the space, she could control their placement with her mind, and do whatever she wanted.
Meng Shiwan thought of taking out a band-aid, but the band-aid reappeared in the cabinet instead of in her hand.
Um……
How should I put it?
This seems to be a high-tech product that isn't exactly high-tech.
Items can only be moved in and out of the cabinet, not simply put into the space from her hand and then appear in her hand when taken out.
This means she can't control it remotely; she has to come to the cabinet and open the door to retrieve or put things away.
"This is so much better than my previous life. Space, ah, not everyone can have it."
Meng Shiwan was extremely excited.
Anything that allows her to stockpile more supplies excites her.
What's more, it can keep things fresh forever!
Of the remaining six crystal cores, two were used to expand the purified water tank, and all four were used to expand the refrigerator space.
One cubic meter can store one ton of water, so two cubic meters is two tons, enough for her to drink for a long time.
A refrigerator with four cubic meters of space can store a lot more food.
Meng Shiwan hummed a little tune as she got to the driver's seat, started the car, and headed towards the pharmacy.
She bought almost everything at the previous pharmacy, so this time she went to another one.
The shop door was still open at this time, but there were basically no living people inside.
When a zombie outbreak occurs, many people's first reaction is to run outside.
Later, realizing that it was even more unsafe outside, those who reacted quickly ran back into the store and closed the door, hoping that they might still have a chance to survive.
Meng Shiwan parked her car right next to the pharmacy entrance, completely blocking it.
She didn't get out of the car in a hurry. Instead, she took an outdoor shovel, walked to the side door, and leaned against the window to knock on the exterior wall of the car, making a loud noise.
This is to determine whether there are zombies in the pharmacy.
She knocked several times, but there was no response from inside the pharmacy. Instead, it attracted the zombies from other nearby shops.
They came to the RV and scratched at it.
Unfortunately, the RV was tightly fitted against the pharmacy door, forming a sealed space, preventing the zombies outside from squeezing in, which made them shout in frustration.
Meng Shiwan opened the side door of the RV with a shovel, remaining vigilant, and slowly walked into the pharmacy.
He looked around the entire pharmacy and only felt relieved after confirming there were no zombies.
She first took out the heatstroke and frostbite medicine from the shelf, then various bruise and sprain medicines, cold and fever medicines, and so on.
These will all be commonly used medicines in the future.
All the medicines were piled on the ground. She sat down anywhere and began to unpack them.
Nowadays, all kinds of products are excessively packaged, taking up a lot of space.
Ta Xue peeked out of the RV and saw Meng Shiwan busy at work. It jumped to Meng Shiwan's side and began to tear at the discarded box.
Meng Shiwan couldn't help but stroke its wagging tail and laugh, "Baby, how can you be so cute?"
Ta Xue is a long-haired, chubby black and white cat, resembling the Black Cat Sheriff, with round, adorable eyes.
It blinked its eyes, rubbed against Meng Shiwan's arm, and continued playing with its cardboard box.
After unpacking the boxes, Meng Shiwan carried two shopping baskets full of medicine and headed towards the RV.
"Ta Xue, come back. The outside world is dangerous. You must stay close to me."
Ta Xue tilted her head, as if she understood, and happily caught up with Meng Shiwan, jumping into the RV.
Meng Shiwan stuffed the medicine into the space, which, together with the previous ones, only took up half the space.
One cubic meter isn't small; when it's completely full, it can hold quite a lot of things.
She made several trips back and forth to fill the one cubic meter space and the area of the cabinet.
The cabinet contains gauze, long-shelf-life disinfectant, medicinal wine, plasters, and the like.
All the medications I take are stored in a refrigerated compartment.
She checked the time and realized she had been busy for two hours.
She didn't find the process boring at all; in fact, she found it incredibly motivating.
Next door to the pharmacy is a high-end outdoor gear store.
They specialize in selling sports equipment such as adventure hiking.
Meng Shi drove into the car that night and ran over all the zombies surrounding him.
The RV was parked in front of an outdoor equipment store, and the roller shutter door was found to be locked from the inside, suggesting there might be people inside.
Not wanting to miss any opportunity to collect equipment, she got out of the car, walked to the roller shutter door, and pounded on it a few times.
There was no movement inside, which meant someone was there.
Meng Shiwan spoke up, "Open the door. I'll take some things as payment and give you some advice on how to survive."
