"Your training results are quite good," Zhou Pin praised.
"It's still thanks to my master's teaching that I'm so good," Xu Lin said.
"We're just sparring, I wouldn't call you my master." Zhou Pin joked, he had no intention of becoming Xu Lin's master.
"That's a sparring partner, and a highly skilled one at that."
The two chatted and laughed all the way back to the apartment complex. When they reached the sixth floor, Old Liu came out to get snow from the rooftop.
"Xiao Zhou, Xiao Xu, you're back!" He glanced at the Tang sword in Xu Lin's hand. "Were you robbed?"
"Yes, you should be careful when you go out these days, as supplies are becoming increasingly scarce," Xu Lin said.
"That's right, we were robbed yesterday too. Liang Ping was even slashed. Luckily, he was wearing thick clothes, so it was just a superficial wound. It just so happens that Miss Dai is a doctor. We didn't even know until she told us. It turns out that Miss Dai is the specially hired surgical expert at the city hospital. It's a pity. She was originally from Beijing. Her husband and children are in Beijing. She came here to practice medicine for a month and then she encountered a natural disaster..." Old Liu started talking again.
"Do you plan to go abroad again in the future?" Xu Lin interrupted Lao Liu at the right time.
"We're not going out. We've stocked up on enough timber recently. The day before yesterday, we found a lot of food at a food processing plant, enough for a few months. It's so cold, so we're not going out," said Lao Liu.
"Yeah, it's too cold. You can't stand going outside. We don't know when this natural disaster will end. It's so cold now, I wonder if it will get really hot later," Xu Lin reminded her silently.
"Probably not. It's so cold now, I've almost forgotten what it's like when it's hot." Old Liu shook his head.
"Nobody can say for sure, but it's better to be prepared. Let's stock up on water and head home." It's chilly outside.
"What you said makes sense."
Xu Lin gleaned a few key points from Lao Liu's ramblings: they were robbed yesterday, but they escaped unharmed because they were dressed in multiple layers and there were many men in the group; Miss Dai is a renowned surgical expert from out of town, who came here on a business trip but ended up stranded in Hong Kong after the apocalypse. No wonder she always seemed so worried, and her accent wasn't the local Hong Kong accent.
A natural disaster has torn countless families apart and claimed countless lives. So no matter what, as long as you're alive, you've already won.
Back on the 8th floor, Xu Lin took out a meal, two bags of dog food, and several cans of dog food for Zhou Pin.
"Shuke and Beta's dog food is running low, they're growing, they can't go hungry," Xu Lin said, patting Shuke and Beta's heads in turn.
"Human, we want to eat your cooking! We've had enough of dog food!" Shuke barked.
"Go on your way, I'll start making you delicious food tomorrow." Xu Lin patted Shuke's head.
Shuke and Beta then obediently followed Zhou Pin home.
The first thing Xu Lin did when she got home was to turn up the stove as usual, then go into her space to change clothes and take a bath. After the bath, she noticed that the animal breeding area in her space was a bit unbearable to look at. It wasn't that there were so many animals, but rather that there were significantly more than when they had been put in.
Xu Lin counted that there was an extra foal, a calf, several chicken eggs, duck eggs, and goose eggs, and most importantly, about twenty baby rabbits! Their reproductive capacity is too strong!
This is almost the size of a small farm; Xu Lin can't manage it all by herself. It would be great if the space could organize itself automatically.
Thinking this, Xu Lin tried it out and used her mind to pick up the eggs, and it really worked! So Xu Lin used her mind to clean up the space, and it looked much more comfortable.
I tried using my mind to turn the soil and plant crops, but it didn't work. It seems that mind can only clean the space but not transform it. What more can I ask for? It's already pretty good that I don't have to clean.
