Chapter 317 Spacer
The Xia Kingdom knew about the existence of the Space People because they were too arrogant, making it impossible for people not to be suspicious.
The spacer who exposed the space was named Zhou Qiming, a native of the capital.
Five years ago, the first natural disaster hit the capital, and Zhou Qiming was trapped at home without food. In order to survive, he ground the pearl necklace left to him by his mother into powder and swallowed it, but he gained spatial abilities as a result.
After discovering that he had a space, Zhou Qiming thought he was a favored one by God, and he boldly went out to buy things for free. Regardless of whether he could use it or not, as long as he could collect it, he put it all into the space.
A year later, Zhou Qiming used the materials obtained in the space to build a private base. The base expanded larger and larger, but it also made people discover clues.
It was obvious that people in the base rarely went out to look for supplies, and no one was seen growing vegetables in the base, but Zhou Qiming always managed to take out all kinds of supplies, which was really suspicious.
At that time, the capital headquarters had already kept an eye on Zhou Qiming. When Zhou Qiming was out one time, he was photographed using the space.
The country is currently suffering from disasters in various parts, and having spatial abilities can solve many problems, so the higher-ups sent people to capture Zhou Qiming.
After learning that Zhou Qiming gained the space by eating pearl powder, some people tried their best to get a lot of pearls, trying to replicate Zhou Qiming's experience, but unfortunately none of them succeeded.
"What happened next? How did you convince Zhou Qiming to help transport the supplies?" Xia Xiaoman asked.
Si Ruifeng snorted coldly, "That idiot is so pretentious, how could he help others deliver goods like a delivery driver?"
"He escaped many times during the delivery process and often threatened us if we didn't hand over the goods in the space. Later, the higher-ups gave up on him delivering the goods and arranged for him to have a few beauties, hoping to see if his offspring could inherit the ability of the space."
"After having three or four children and finding that none of them had spatial abilities, the old men couldn't wait any longer and tried to transfer Zhou Qiming's spatial abilities to others."
"I don't know exactly how those people operated. I only know that in the end they divided Zhou Qiming's space into 10 and transferred them to 10 young people respectively."
"Divided space?" Xia Xiaoman was a little surprised. "Then is the divided space still the same size as before?"
"Of course it's different. I heard that the space after the division is only the size of five football fields."
Zhou Qiming's space is the same as Xia Xiaoman's, infinite, and cannot hold living things. After the division, the size of the space is limited. But in order to deliver supplies to multiple locations at the same time, dividing the space into 10 parts is the best choice.
"After the space transfer, is Zhou Qiming still alive?" Xia Xiaoman asked.
Si Ruifeng sneered, "The brain has been taken out, do you think he can still survive?"
Xia Xiaoman frowned. If her space was discovered by others, her fate would probably be the same as Zhou Qiming's.
"I have said everything I need to say. Can you let me go now?" Si Ruifeng looked at Xia Xiaoman.
Xia Xiaoman came back to her senses, "Is that all? Then what is your purpose for coming to Floating City? Aren't you going to tell me?"
Si Ruifeng's expression changed, and he said, "What purpose could I have in coming to Fucheng? I came here because my superiors arranged for me to come to Fucheng."
"Really? Then why did you let Chen Du capture the space dweller who was transformed in the later stage?" Xia Xiaoman stared at Si Ruifeng with a smile.
When Si Ruifeng heard Chen Du's name, his eyes widened instantly, "How did you know? Did you kill Chen Du?!"
Xia Xiaoman curled the corners of her lips, "You're so smart, you guessed it so quickly. So you'd better not wait for Chen Du to come and save you, just tell me everything you know, maybe I'll be merciful and let you die quickly."
Si Ruifeng's face was very ugly. The reason why he was willing to tell Xia Xiaoman so much was to delay time and wait for Chen Du to rescue him. He didn't expect that Chen Du had already...
Xia Xiaoman raised the hammer head, "Why? You want to have your toes smashed again?"
Si Ruifeng froze for a moment after hearing this. He had lived a privileged life since childhood and had never suffered much. Tonight, his toe was hit, which was the most painful time since he was born. He didn't want to be hit again. So he answered honestly, "I came to Fucheng for a purpose."
He fought fiercely with his brothers at home. His elder and second brothers were a few years older than him, and their power was not comparable to his. But he was unwilling to be suppressed by his two brothers all his life, so when he heard that one of the spacers who had been transformed in the later period would go south to help transport supplies to the southern cities, he had some small ideas.
It happened that at that time Xie Yi brought evidence of human experiments in Fucheng to the headquarters, so he took this opportunity to apply to go south to manage Fucheng.
"So your purpose in coming to the Floating City is to transfer the space of that late-stage space-transformer to yourself?"
Si Ruifeng nodded, "Since the space can be transferred from Zhou Qiming to others, why can't it be transferred to me. If I have a space, those who once looked down on me will look at me with new eyes, and no one will dare to say that I am a waste!"
"Is capturing people who are suspected to be space users also to transfer the space to you?" Xia Xiaoman asked.
Si Ruifeng didn't say anything. Compared with limited space, he certainly desired infinite space more.
Xia Xiaoman sighed, he really was coveting her space. But it didn't matter whether Si Ruifeng coveted her space or not, this person would never be able to survive if he knew she had a space.
She stuffed the rag back into Si Ruifeng's mouth and turned to look at Maodan, "Maodan, do you still want revenge? If not, I will kill you directly."
Hearing this, Si Ruifeng whimpered excitedly, but unfortunately his mouth was blocked, and Xia Xiaoman didn't know what he was whimpering about after a long time.
Maodan swung his tail and went to the corner to lie down and rest. He had just taken revenge and was not interested now.
Upon seeing this, Xia Xiaoman took out a thick rope, wrapped it around Si Ruifeng's neck several times, and stepped on his back to tighten it.
She didn't want to go through so much trouble. If a mayor as important as Si Ruifeng disappeared, the higher-ups would definitely send someone to investigate. If someone killed someone with a knife, there would definitely be blood on the ground. If someone found blood in her house, it would definitely arouse suspicion.
After strangling him for a few minutes, Si Ruifeng gradually stopped struggling. Xia Xiaoman felt his pulse and found that he was no longer breathing, so she threw him into the space.
After cleaning up the scene, Xia Xiaoman lay down on the kang to rest. She was exhausted that night, especially when she dragged Si Jianfeng away from the official headquarters, which consumed a lot of her energy.
After sleeping for a few hours, she was suddenly awakened by a rapid knock on the door. When she opened her eyes, she saw Maodan baring his teeth warily at the door.
