He teleported to the edge of the space and kept reaching his hand into the white mist to feel it. The space was so large that Sun Kaicheng almost missed the strangeness he had just touched because of the mechanical action.
He quickly stepped back a few paces and began to explore. This area felt different. In other areas of white mist, there were things that blocked his way when he reached in, but this area clearly had an extra layer of something.
After thinking for a moment, he tried to get his body closer to it so he could study what it was. Could it be that this thing had always been there and he hadn't noticed it because he wasn't paying attention?
This time, unlike the usual probing, he seemed to walk into the white mist with ease. However, after only a few steps, he was blocked by a soft, transparent object and could not go any further.
A different scene appeared before my eyes, quite different from what I had seen when I entered the white fog before. It was as if this area was covered by something, and this cover was transparent, so I could clearly see what was inside.
The covered area wasn't very large, but the land inside seemed to be planted with crops. He didn't know exactly what was planted, as he had never farmed before, neither in his original world nor in this post-apocalyptic world.
At the edge of the land, there were several large wooden boxes and several burlap sacks. Sun Kaicheng found these boxes and sacks very familiar, as if they were things from the era in which he was born. However, he could not be sure, since people still occasionally use similar things nowadays.
He stepped back and walked towards the white mist on the other side. After a few steps, he reappeared in the same place. It seemed that the problem was not the white mist. So why did he reappear in that other place?
Is it possible for someone to sneak into someone else's space to farm? I've never heard of anyone being able to enter someone else's space so easily, without even asking permission.
For Sun Kaicheng, who grew up in the post-apocalyptic world, this was a blatant provocation, and he felt a sense of displeasure and tension that his secret had been revealed.
He then returned to the transparent dome, intending to use his powers to destroy it and see who was so audacious as to trespass into his space. To keep the secret, he would have to kill someone to silence them; only the dead would keep quiet.
Even with his powers at their maximum, he was helpless against the transparent shield in front of him. It was as if no matter how much force was used to attack it, the shield would only ripple twice like water, without showing any sign of breaking.
He thought of the missing potion and crystal core. Could it be that the person occupying his space also took those things? But why could the other person freely enter his space, while he couldn't enter the other person's territory?
Looking at the empty fields and the primitive farming tools lying beside them, he wanted to confirm whether his guess was correct. So he went back and found a surveillance camera and installed it outside the transparent cover, hidden behind the thin mist. As long as the people inside weren't paying attention, they shouldn't be able to find it.
He even carefully locked his warehouse with an electronic lock that required a fingerprint to open, not believing that any thief could possibly steal anything from there.
Then he searched through all the books in the study, trying to find out why that thing had appeared in his space. It took him a long time to find a book that came with his space, which described a similar situation in just a few words.
Upon seeing these lines, Sun Kaicheng's face flushed with excitement. This was the most emotional he had felt since coming to the apocalypse. He saw hope of returning, but he first needed to confirm whether the other party was truly from the same time and space as him.
After that, he rarely went on missions and spent almost every day in the space watching the cameras, just to see what kind of people could sneak in.
The system knows that someone is spying on them, but this is their space. They have secretly borrowed their space, so let them watch if they want, as long as it doesn't harm the host.
Qian Xiao had no idea that she was working hard on the land every day, hoping for a good harvest. These crops had taken her a lot of effort; just watering them alone required her to bring in an unknown amount of water every day.
She was still happily fantasizing that if she harvested all her grain, she would meet the requirements for advancement in the space, and then suddenly a small river would appear, so she would no longer have to go through the trouble of bringing water in from outside.
Sun Kaicheng couldn't quite describe his feelings. When he saw that the person who came in was a very short-haired girl, he would have thought it was a boy if it weren't for her voice. The girl didn't talk much and mostly just worked.
Looking at the clothes the other person was wearing and the patches on them, it was obvious that this person could not be from the apocalypse. Even if people from the apocalypse dressed poorly, they wouldn't wear such an old-fashioned style. On the contrary, this style was very similar to his original world.
Occasionally, he could see a girl seemingly talking to someone, but he couldn't see the thing itself. He guessed it might be something like a system described in novels.
Otherwise, there's simply no way to explain how an ordinary child could possibly appear in his space.
Looking at it this way, it's impossible to determine the era in which the other person lived, or whether this is his home. But if he goes over to talk to her, he's afraid of scaring her away. He's counting on using this newly opened passage to return to his own world.
He was momentarily conflicted. If he were facing another person from the apocalypse, he would never have hesitated like this; he would have simply killed them. But faced with a little girl who looked like an ordinary person, he hesitated.
By the way, did the little girl drink that potion? Did it awaken her superpower? If so, what kind of superpower is it?
As she continued to agonize over this, several months passed, and Qian Xiao's grain was ready to be harvested. She rubbed her lower back, thinking, "This work doesn't look tiring, but it's really exhausting! No wonder people describe farming as incredibly hard."
The grain had just been harvested when Qian Xiao's eyes nearly popped out of his head as he watched the land, which had just been covered in stubble, become perfectly level.
"Double Egg, can the land in this space automatically differentiate useless things?"
Shuangdan glanced at the location of the camera. It wasn't part of the space itself; the owner must have helped. The owner was quite kind, not only not complaining about their sneaky use of some land, but also helping to clean up the trash.
"I think so."
No matter what, it must not let the host know that this space was stolen. After so long, it has come to understand its host's personality. What is rightfully hers, she will not hesitate to take; what is not hers, she will never reach for, let alone steal.
