The suggestion caused an uproar in 806. The library has so many books, spanning four floors. If they just took books from one shelf, their space would have to be much larger.
Without further ado, with about three hours to go before the wind picked up, the five of them headed straight for the library.
Fortunately, it was lunchtime, so there weren't many people in the library. They each chose a few quiet spots and quickly stored the items in their storage space.
Although the suggestion came from Cheng Zhi, it was the first time she had ever done something like this in her life, so she was inevitably a little nervous and it took her a lot of effort to collect the books on one bookshelf.
Just as she was about to collect the second one, her shoulder was patted. Cheng Zhi's heart jumped into her throat. She was so nervous that she felt like throwing up. No way, no way, she was caught for her first crime in her life?
Instead, Xiao Feiran's voice came through the door, "I think we can stop now. I just went in and took a look, and the space has doubled in size. Even our bathroom has been upgraded; we have a bathtub now."
"My God, a bathtub?" Cheng Zhi was somewhat incredulous and immediately flashed into the space.
In the bathroom, the four of them stared blankly at the pristine white bathtub. It was truly a strange feeling to see a bathtub in their dormitory in their lifetime.
The four of them wandered around the space and returned to their dormitory. The wind outside was getting stronger, but Zheng Wan still hadn't returned.
Cheng Zhi paced around the dormitory, checking the time again and again. Just as she was about to push open the door to go find someone, Zheng Wan returned carrying a large stack of things.
Everyone gathered around out of curiosity.
"The Yellow Emperor's Inner Classic, the Medical Classic, the Essential Techniques for the Common People..." Xiao Feiran flipped through the books one by one. "Is Wanzi going to change her major? Medicine or agriculture, hahaha!"
Sitting in her chair, still catching her breath, Zheng Wan wiped the sweat from her brow. "When there's no electricity or internet, this knowledge will be our lifeline."
Indeed, in their past life, a typhoon lasted only three days before the internet went down, rendering their phones and computers useless. Although they now had access to another dimension and had purchased generators and various batteries, it was still necessary to be prepared for both possibilities.
The glass door rattled loudly in the wind, drawing the attention of 806. The trees on both sides of the road were rustling in the wind, and fallen leaves and trash were being swept into the air. There were also some pedestrians on the road, walking together in twos and threes, supporting each other.
The people in room 806 knew that this was just the beginning, and that the water would be cut off again in a few days, so they quickly filled up a lot of drinking water and took showers.
Perhaps because they had already gone through it once, the five of them seemed indifferent and busy with their own things.
Because there was land in the alternate dimension, Cheng Zhi started downloading videos and information about farming and animal husbandry on her phone. Xiao Feiran, who usually lived on the internet, was afraid of being bored in the days to come, so she frantically downloaded novels, movies, TV series, variety shows, and the like from the lists.
Zheng Wan was watching a live stream to follow her idol. In her past life, her brother had a live stream on the 12th, and she thought she would watch the recording the next day, but she never got to see it. Chen Siyu, on the other hand, was video chatting with her family, catching up on whatever came to mind, cherishing the little time they had left to communicate.
If we're talking about who's the best, it has to be our class monitor, Huang Yiyi.
While downloading things, Cheng Zhi was bored, so she decided to take a walk in the dormitory. As a result, she caught a glimpse of Huang Yiyi, who was still doing practice problems.
"No way, no way, you're still going to cause trouble at a time like this?!" Cheng Zhi grabbed Huang Yiyi's shoulder and went berserk, roaring, "It's the end of the world! We're about to die, and you're still thinking about getting ashore!"
Huang Yiyi was so shaken she felt like she was about to have a concussion. She desperately backed away, trying to escape Cheng Zhi's clutches. "I just wanted to calm down by studying. Besides, if I learn more now, maybe I can go straight to shore after the apocalypse ends, hahaha!"
Sitting diagonally across from me, Xiao Feiran swung her legs and shook her head in protest, "The government says it won't let you get out of the water even if it means letting salted fish come ashore."
Everyone laughed, and the atmosphere in 806 eased a little for a moment.
But soon, with a loud bang, a piece of broken wood crashed down on the balcony railing from the outside. Everyone's tension rose again. In their past lives, their balconies hadn't been damaged because they lived on a higher floor. Hopefully, this time, their balconies would remain intact.
The wind picked up, and the weather forecast kept escalating. The counselor announced in the class group that classes would be canceled tomorrow. Everyone was thrilled to be free, and some even posted about it on their WeChat Moments. Only those in class 806 who knew the truth were filled with worry.
The wind outside was making people uneasy, so Cheng Zhi took the little rabbit out of her spatial storage and placed it on the table, stroking it gently.
Chen Siyu was extremely anxious. She got up and went to the balcony door many times that night, her brows furrowed each time.
Xiao Feiran sensed her anxiety and could only walk over to Chen Siyu and pat her shoulder comfortingly, "What's coming will come. Besides, this is a natural disaster. We have no choice but to accept it. Don't think too much about it."
Human beings are always insignificant in the face of disasters, and everyone knows that.
Chen Siyu gently placed her hand on the glass door, silently praying that if rebirth was possible, then let them live a good life.
After finishing her prayers, Chen Siyu composed herself and encouraged everyone to get some rest, since they were all in for a tough time ahead, living in constant fear and having little chance to rest properly.
Zheng Wan, who had just finished watching the live stream, agreed, put away her tablet, and climbed into bed. "We really need to rest and recharge. Starting tomorrow, we'll start exercising to build up our strength and survive until the very end!"
Seeing everyone looking so energetic, Cheng Zhi, sitting in her seat, felt her anxiety subside considerably.
In their past lives, they lacked resources and were physically weak, surviving only by encouraging each other. Reborn, they have much more to offer, and they are confident they can live a good life.
Amidst the howling wind and torrential rain, the lights in room 806 went out. In the darkness, only a few scattered lights from outside remained.
Cheng Zhi should have been able to sleep until she naturally woke up without an alarm clock, but at 5 a.m., she was woken up by a girl's exclamation outside.
When I opened my phone, the dormitory group chat had over 99 messages.
It turned out that a tree had been blown down and landed directly on the balcony of the second-floor dormitory. Although no one was injured, it gave the people in that dormitory a big fright.
Several petite girls insisted on going out into the corridor to get water, and some of them were almost blown away. They also wailed in the dormitory group chat.
Perhaps because she had died once, Cheng Zhi didn't feel anything. She didn't care about other people's life or death; she only cared about herself.
After scrolling through her phone for about an hour, Cheng Zhi was fully awake. She got out of bed and walked to the glass door. There was no light outside, and the strong wind and torrential rain seemed to blur the world. She couldn't even see the library, which was usually the most conspicuous building.
