Thanks to Xiao Jingchen's series of actions, the helicopter was finally out of danger.
"Jingchen, are you really alright?!" Ye Ning stared intently at Xiao Jingchen.
"Of course!" Xiao Jingchen patted Ye Ning's head. "What's wrong? Do I look like something's wrong?"
"Jingchen, quickly check him over and see if there are any other injuries that are not easily noticed!" Even though Xiao Jingchen had appeared before her, full of energy, Ye Ning was still shaken, feeling as if she were in a dream.
"A place where no one will notice?" Xiao Jingchen pretended to be deep in thought, then suddenly realized, a mischievous grin spreading across his face.
"Don't worry! Everything's fine. Would you like to verify it here?"
"you…"
Ye Ning almost choked on her own saliva. How could Xiao Jingchen have thought of that? Actually, what she wanted to say was to check him over to see if there were any internal injuries or anything.
"Cough cough cough!" Ye Ning coughed violently, and Xiao Jingchen quickly helped her pat her back.
"Ye Ning, you really can't take a joke. I was just trying to lighten the mood!" Xiao Jingchen said pitifully.
Xiao Jingchen's teasing remark did indeed lighten the previously tense atmosphere.
Under Xiao Jingchen's control, the helicopter landed smoothly on the open ground of the shelter.
As soon as the cabin door opened, Wang Ma and the others surrounded them.
"Miss, you're finally down! You scared us to death!" Wang Ma wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes, and even the tough guy Brother Long Fei had tears in his eyes.
Just now, they watched from below as the helicopter plummeted straight down like a kite with a broken string. Their hearts were in their throats, as if they were about to jump out at any moment.
"We're fine! It was just an accident!" Ye Ning said, pretending to be nonchalant.
"Young Master Jingchen, are you alright?"
In their eyes, Xiao Jingchen was almost omnipotent.
"We're fine! How are you?" Xiao Jingchen's cold voice rang out.
"We're all fine!"
"Brother Longfei, have you noticed any changes in yourselves?"
"Well, I just feel warm all over, like something's different, but I can't really feel anything specific yet!"
Ye Ning and Xiao Jingchen exchanged a glance. Perhaps it was only the beginning of the day. Even when exposed to a solar storm, not everyone would be lucky enough to develop superpowers.
Based on past life experience, the chance of gaining superpowers is greatest on the first day, then decreases daily, and by the fifth day the solar storm has basically disappeared.
If I can't gain superpowers within these five days, it's basically impossible.
"Brother Longfei, why don't you wait outside a little longer? Jingchen and I will go in first!" The sun hasn't set yet, so they still have a chance.
As soon as Ye Ning and Xiao Jingchen returned to their room, they couldn't wait to lie down on the sofa. After the thrilling experience on the helicopter, both Ye Ning and Xiao Jingchen were exhausted, but they just kept going.
Ye Ning took out two bottles of energy drinks from her spatial storage and handed one to Xiao Jingchen without hesitation.
"Jingchen, here you go!" Ye Ning pulled the tab on the can.
Xiao Jingchen took it and drank it all in one gulp.
"That feels good!" Xiao Jingchen lay down on Ye Ning's lap.
Ye Ning closed her eyes and let her consciousness sink into the space.
The space was completely empty; the supplies that had once filled the space now only occupied one corner.
Ye Ning roughly estimated that her space had expanded at least tenfold.
Ten times! That's almost enough to fit a skyscraper.
This is absolutely fantastic! This upgrade is truly amazing.
"By the way! Jingchen, stop lying down and quickly check how far your superpower has evolved." Ye Ning said impatiently after catching her breath.
“Alright!” Xiao Jingchen sat up, closed his eyes, and with a thought, a three-meter square barrier began to slowly take shape. The barrier was like a transparent wall, emitting a strange light.
The Absolute Territory has indeed been upgraded.
In the era of superpowers, Ye Ning's space is basically useless except for storing supplies, while Xiao Jingchen's absolute domain will become a major weapon for them.
"The range has indeed increased, but I don't know how long it will last?" Xiao Jingchen frowned.
"Then let's give it a try!" Ye Ning said excitedly.
Although Brother Longfei and the others haven't gained superpowers yet, Jing Chen has already made a profit by evolving his superpowers to this extent.
More than half an hour later, the results finally came out. The final conclusion was that Xiao Jingchen's absolute territory had been upgraded from the original ten minutes to half an hour.
"This is absolutely wonderful!" Ye Ning hugged Xiao Jingchen and kissed him on both cheeks.
It can withstand any attack for half an hour, which means it is practically invincible unless it is under a horde of millions of zombies.
"Alright, Jingchen, why do you seem a little unhappy?" Ye Ning keenly noticed that Xiao Jingchen wasn't very enthusiastic.
"Nothing? I just feel that the upgrade didn't achieve the effect I imagined!" The longer he stayed here, the more he felt that some things seemed to deviate from the development of his previous life, and he was afraid that he was not capable enough to protect Ye Ning.
"It's okay, Jingchen. You don't need to be so hard on yourself. You have several days left, so you might be able to level up a little more!"
Wang Ma and the others stayed on the rooftop until it got dark before coming down. They were all shivering from the cold. Although the temperature had risen a lot, it was still cold overall.
Since Wang Ma and the others couldn't cook, Ye Ning simply took out the food she had packed from the hotel from her spatial storage.
The crispy, caramelized naan bread, sprinkled with white sesame seeds, half a whole roasted lamb, a fruit platter, and stir-fried vegetables, paired with ice-cold beer, is simply a perfect match.
After finishing their meal, Ye Ning and Xiao Jingchen went to the dining room. Wang Ma and the others had already returned and were preparing to cook.
"Wang Ma doesn't need to cook today!" Ye Ning took out the other half of a whole roasted lamb from her spatial storage.
Wang Ma quickly took it, and Ye Ning wondered if it was just her imagination, but she felt that Wang Ma seemed much more agile than before.
They exchanged a few brief pleasantries and then returned to the living area.
"Jingchen, I'm going to take a shower first!" Ye Ning was so frightened today that she was covered in cold sweat, and her clothes were completely soaked.
Xiao Jingchen nodded.
After taking a shower, Ye Ning lay down on the bed and quickly fell asleep. Too many things had happened today, and she was exhausted.
The first day of the solar storm has finally ended.
