Finally, everything was moved. As before, I turned on the air conditioner fan and then took a shower. After being outside all day, I was completely soaked in sweat. After showering, I took out the braised chicken and iced cola that I had prepared earlier and ate them. I also took the opportunity to organize the supplies in the space.
Jiang Li had already opened the entire warehouse with his mind. In the space, he didn't even have to lift a finger. There were many toiletries, food, daily necessities, clothes, and some things that he didn't need for the time being. Jiang Li had sorted them all out neatly.
Then I tidied up the space on the right, picked the fruit trees that had borne fruit and stored them. Fortunately, the plants in the space don't need to be divided by season. As long as you water them from time to time, they can grow on their own. I was always worried that they wouldn't grow big.
The chicken and duck eggs were also preserved. Some of the chicken and duck eggs had already hatched into chicks and ducklings. The rabbits had also laid several litters. The number of small fish in the fishpond had also increased. After feeding the animals some food, Jiang Li rested.
Although it was convenient to be in the space, controlling it with one's mind would still be very tiring after a while, and Jiang Li fell asleep not long after.
In the following days, Jiang Li usually stayed at home. Sometimes he would go out with Gu Jin to look for supplies, and sometimes he would go out on his own. During this time, some people came to cause trouble. Some went back when they saw that there was an iron gate, not daring to make a big fuss. Others thought that since there was an iron gate, there must be a lot of things, so they wanted to come in even more. But Gu Jin and Jiang Li dealt with them all. After a while, no one came anymore. Everyone knew that the people on this floor were not to be trifled with.
A long time passed like this, and then one day, people woke up to find that the temperature seemed to have dropped a little. Although it was still very hot, this phenomenon brought people hope.
Jiang Li looked at the thermometer, which now showed only sixty-something degrees Celsius. However, this did not make Jiang Li feel worried, because Jiang Li knew that with the end of the extreme heat, an earthquake would follow.
In his past life, he had finally endured the extreme heat until it ended, and like everyone else now, he thought that everything was going to return to normal. But in reality, there were more natural and man-made disasters waiting for him. At least until Jiang Li died, the world had not returned to normal.
Every day after that, the temperature dropped lower than before. Eventually, the temperature settled at around 27 or 28 degrees Celsius. This continued for a week, and people thought things had returned to normal. They were so happy that they didn't realize it was already December, which should have been winter.
One night, as people were immersed in joy, the earthquake struck silently.
Jiang Li woke up when she felt the tremors. Knowing it was an earthquake, she immediately put her things into her spatial storage, grabbed her backpack, and went out. Gu Jin was already out when she opened the door, so there was no need to wake him. The two didn't say much and ran downstairs as fast as they could. Many other people were also running out. Jiang Li fell down many times because of the earthquake, but she got up quickly. Finally, she reached the square. By the time she got downstairs, the two of them were covered in dust.
The earthquake continued, many houses collapsed, and cracks appeared in the ground. The air was filled with shouts, cries, and curses. In the darkness, an atmosphere of despair spread among the crowd. People never expected that the extreme heat would bring them not hope but despair.
Even if you go to the square, you won't get hit by falling buildings. The ground has cracked in many places, some of them quite large, and people have already fallen through.
Jiang Li's position became unstable due to the earthquake, and a crack nearby widened, passing right by where Jiang Li was standing. It looked like Jiang Li might fall through.
Just as Jiang Li was about to move aside, her hand was grabbed and her body was pulled forward, falling into a warm embrace. Gu Jin wrapped one arm around Jiang Li's waist, protecting her in his arms, and then ran forward with her.
Jiang Li also lost her balance due to the earthquake and subconsciously grabbed Gu Jin's waist, passively moving forward with Gu Jin.
As time went by, the earthquake began to subside. When the two stopped, they were embracing each other. When they came to their senses, they both blushed.
"I'm sorry, I was in a hurry just now. I saw you were about to fall, so I..." Gu Jin's face and ears turned red. It was the first time he had hugged a girl, and he was a little flustered. He was also afraid that Jiang Li would be angry.
"No, I should be thanking you. If it weren't for you, I might have fallen."
Jiang Li blushed and secretly lowered her arms from around Gu Jin's waist.
"Um, now you can let go of me."
Gu Jin's ears turned even redder when she heard Jiang Li's words, and now even her neck turned red. She quickly let go of Jiang Li's arms.
As she let go, her arms suddenly felt empty. For some reason, Gu Jin felt a little regretful. Just now, when she hugged Jiang Li's waist, it felt soft and she had a feeling that she wanted to hug him again. Gu Jin quickly dismissed this thought. How could she have such thoughts? If Jiang Li found out, he would definitely think she was a pervert. No, no, she couldn't.
Jiang Li was unaware of Gu Jin's inner thoughts. He only felt that when he hugged Gu Jin's waist earlier, his waist was strong and powerful, and it felt quite substantial to the touch, indicating that he was someone who exercised regularly.
Although there were still occasional aftershocks, they were all minor. The square was becoming increasingly crowded, some supporting each other, others alone. Those who hadn't come out were unlikely to reappear, and even if they did, there were no hospitals or medicine available to treat them, so they were destined to live a short time.
After a while, the atmosphere between the two returned to normal, but something seemed different.
Jiang Li casually found a spot and sat down with his backpack. Going back to his room now was definitely out of the question; even if it hadn't collapsed, it was a dangerous building. Besides, there were still aftershocks from time to time. He remembered that in his previous life, the official base had already been built more than half a month after the earthquake. He would go to the base when the time came; after all, humans are social animals.
In my past life, I went with the main group. The base was only so big, but there were so many people that there was nowhere to stay. I had to squeeze into the dormitory with everyone. It was a few hundred square meters, but it could hold thousands of people or even more. Anyway, it was all bunk beds, and there was only enough space for one person to walk between the beds.
Although it won't be very hot in the future, the heat from so many people is still immense. The air in the space is filled with the mingling of people's breaths, not to mention all sorts of smells. There are only a few places with ventilation, so it's incredibly uncomfortable. Later, I worked hard to complete tasks and used my points to exchange for a less crowded place to live. I really don't know if I can survive. In this life, I have my own space, and I don't have to worry about food. I must make sure I live a good life.
