Xu Lin is usually quite careful; she puts anything that shouldn't be there back into her spatial storage or uses it there immediately after use, so one check is enough.
Xu Lin was in charge of taking things out of the space, while Zhou Pin was in charge of tidying up the third floor for Sun Wei and the others to live on. The third floor hadn't been renovated since the house was bought, but the renovation materials were all prepared. After Sun Wei and the others moved their things, they could build a few partitions to make rooms.
Since we're going to live together, many things can't be provided out of thin air; some things that can be provided should be provided in advance.
For example, firewood, coal briquettes, heaters, cotton coats, quilts, gloves, snow boots, grains, vegetables, seasonings, and other daily necessities.
They also took seemingly unimportant small items such as matches, lighters, candles, water buckets, garbage bags, needles and thread, cold medicine, and anti-inflammatory drugs, which can play a big role in critical moments.
Finally, there's Xiaoyouyou's belongings: formula, bottles, diapers, rice cereal, stroller, clothes, and blankets, filling two large cabinets.
Xu Lin put all the supplies she took out of the space into another room on the second floor, and did not intend to explain to Li Jingjing and the others.
Over the years, they had come to know that Xu Lin and Zhou Pin had secrets, but they had never investigated them. This was an important reason why Xu Lin chose to accept them.
The outside temperature wasn't as low as during the extreme cold, but it still felt terrible because the cold wave cooled the temperature rapidly, freezing it to the bone. Sun Wei only let Li Jingjing and Grandma Wu come back to check that all the supplies were gathered together and nothing was missing before he wouldn't let them come out to move anything else.
Sun Wei and his group had a handcart. He and Minister Sun pulled the cart and pushed it, making three trips. It was already dark when they finally moved all their belongings over. Zhou Pin also joined in to help on the last two trips.
It's clear that they stockpiled a lot of supplies during their year at the base.
As the apocalypse drags on, no one wants to throw anything away, not even a thread, because you never know when you might need it, let alone non-renewable resources like plastic bags and mineral water bottles.
Like Xu Lin and the others, Sun Wei used his points to exchange for supplies at the base. They still had plenty of canned goods and dried vegetables, as well as cotton-padded clothes and blankets, though not many. Points only had meaning when exchanged for supplies; otherwise, they were just a string of numbers.
The firewood is estimated to last for two days. If we team up with Xu Lin and her family, both families can spend the day in the living room on the first floor. If each family contributes half of the heating supplies, we can last for another two days, and then we can go out to find more supplies.
They said they were going out to find supplies, but what could they possibly find? With so many people at the base, the area had already been thoroughly searched, so the situation was far from optimistic.
Tonight, everyone will heat up the leftovers from lunch and eat together. Starting tomorrow, everyone will cook their own meals.
At the dinner table, everyone discussed the plans for the future. Grandma Wu and Xu Lin discussed that they would not live on the third floor, but on the first floor instead. In the apocalypse, why bother with privacy? They could just put a curtain in the living room. However, they didn't know if Xu Lin would agree.
Xu Lin didn't care where they lived; she suggested they stay on the third floor because they needed three rooms and there wasn't enough room on the first floor. Since they wanted to stay on the first floor, it was even simpler—they wouldn't need to bring their things up to the third floor.
The storage room was given to Grandma Wu and Li Jingjing, while Sun Wei and his uncle slept in the living room.
Grandma Wu wanted to live in the living room to save resources. They would keep warm on the first floor during the day and continue sleeping there at night. The residual heat from the day, plus a little firewood, would last until dawn. Sleeping on the third floor would require additional heating at night, and the residual heat on the first floor would be wasted.
