After a night's rest, the next day began to repeat the routine of the previous day.
First, go and clean the floors that weren't finished yesterday.
Then we continued onward, collecting everything we could find useful.
They didn't spare any of the metals, alloys, steel, firewood, or even plastics.
They seem to have discovered a new continent; their eyes are shining, and they weigh the usefulness of everything they see.
If they are useful, they stay; if they are not, they leave.
They are much more motivated now than before.
Previously, Li Xiao had contributed the most.
She has space; she can simply put away what she needs.
Previously, only timber and some usable insulation supplies were left behind.
Unlike now, when everyone wants everything.
Apart from the house, only four bare walls remained, exposed to the cold wind.
"Xiaoxiao, come quick, take this away. I'm done here."
"Okay, coming."
Li Xiao put down her work and quickly went to the next room to store all the metals that Tian Tian had collected into her spatial storage.
"Pretty fast."
Tian Tian smiled and said, "That's right, practice makes perfect."
Watching her go into another room, Li Xiao returned to the room where she had been busy.
They've been working here for four days.
The results are still encouraging.
Seeing that they had almost no free space, Cheng Shaolin and the others decided to go back this afternoon.
At 3 p.m., after packing up the last of the supplies, the group changed direction and headed back the way they came.
"How are you, Auntie? Are you alright?" Li Xiao asked He Yunzhen, who was standing next to her. She had been busy these past few days and hadn't had much time to ask about their situation.
"It's great. Wow, after coming out for a while, I feel so energetic."
Li Xiao was delighted to hear this. "You used to say that we were dragging each other down, but now it seems that we're not like that at all."
He Yunzhen said somewhat embarrassedly, "That's true, we didn't know the situation before. We didn't know we could be of help."
"Auntie, don't think like that. Everyone has their own strengths and talents. Don't belittle yourself."
Cheng Feiyue, who was on the other side of He Yunzhen, agreed with Li Xiao's words.
"I think it's because she had nothing to do at home before. And she was depressed every day, so she always felt useless."
"Then don't think like that anymore. Now that you're out here, you'll always have something to do."
Li Xiao also understood that the home they used to live in was not a very good place.
At least, when self-interest is paramount, it's obvious that they are considered useless.
How could one not feel depressed living in that kind of environment for a long time?
"That's true, it's great to be out here. Even the air feels different now."
Li Xiao chuckled, "That's because you've broadened your horizons, and that's when you feel that everything is different."
He Yunzhen nodded, understanding her current situation.
Oh well, I'm out now.
It's not bad to have a different kind of life.
It's good to put in some effort; it's not so great to be idle all the time.
This gives you more freedom.
Seeing the smiles on my parents' faces grow wider and wider, and becoming more and more heartfelt,
Cheng Shaolin, who was ahead of him, was also feeling pleased.
Seeing that they are accepting it well, I was worried that they would not adapt well, but now I don't have that concern anymore.
He is capable and doesn't need to be subservient to others.
Even if parents are financially secure, they don't want to see their children have to bear undue pressure.
Those who have different ideas cannot work together.
Different perspectives make it difficult to live under the same roof.
It's better to come out and be free.
Now my parents are healthy and well, and the people I love are by my side.
Cheng Shaolin felt that was enough.
One should be content.
Heaven has been kind enough to him; he doesn't need to think about anything else.
That's fine.
Li Xiao shared the same thought.
Compared to others, she felt very lucky.
There is space.
There is someone you want to spend your whole life with.
And these like-minded friends.
Even in the end times, one should not be too greedy.
That's fine.
With my loved one by my side,
My friends are by my side.
There are difficulties, but what do they matter?
As long as they have perseverance and courage, they will not be afraid.
Just like now, they have struggled and persevered to get here, and no difficulty or obstacle can defeat them.
I didn't encounter any problems on the way, probably because there are many experts in Beijing who resolved any issues I encountered.
It was past 5 p.m. when we got back to the base.
Cheng Shaolin: Everyone go back, there's no need to wait here. He and Li Xiao are going to exchange for supplies.
Yu Yanbin agreed, so he let Meng Yang take the others back, while he and Cheng Shaolin accompanied Li Xiao to the mission center.
Li Xiao threw out all the supplies she had collected from the space.
Including the clothes and shoes I collected before.
She doesn't want anything she doesn't need.
Clear the space so there's room to continue decorating.
The staff at the mission center were also dumbfounded when they saw the various supplies piled up on the ground.
…………
Are there that many?
How can it hold so much space?
This is because Li Xiao didn't have much spare space; she had too many supplies in her space, so there wasn't much room available.
However, these positions are not comparable to those of ordinary spatial ability users.
"Please check these and convert them into points."
"...Okay, okay."
The staff snapped out of their daze and quickly got to work.
Because there were too many things, the staff had to call a few more people to help.
