Chapter 1 Hands in Space
"Brother Dali, do you really want to do this? The fruits are already ripe, what if..."
"I'll take care of it if anything goes wrong, so why should you be afraid? Besides, I've been taking care of fruit trees for so many years, I know what's going on."
"Hehe, when Chi Yuanshan finds out that all the fruit trees are dying, will he kneel down and beg Brother Dali to save him?"
Chi Wan, who hadn't fallen asleep for a long time, was startled when he heard the noise outside the cabin. He subconsciously put the sleeping bag and clothes into his own space, then quickly hid in the closet, not daring to make a sound.
She had just closed the closet door when the door of the cabin was opened with a key and a messy and heavy footsteps came in from outside.
It can be heard that there are at least four or five people. Chi Wan regretted that he should not have chosen to live in this small house on the mountain because the old house had no toilet.
But who would have thought that Liu Dali looked honest on the surface and returned the orchard to their family without saying a word when the lease expired, but secretly kept a set of keys behind their backs!
Even from their tone, they wanted to do something to the orchard...
Chi Wan carefully reached his hand into the space, ready to use his cell phone to record what these people said.
However, as soon as she stretched her hand into the space, it was grabbed by a warm and rough big hand! !
Chi Wan's pupils shrank and he clenched his teeth to prevent himself from screaming.
But she was in a hurry to pull her hand back, and her movement was a little too big, and her elbow lightly hit the inside of the wardrobe, making a very low muffled sound.
But to Chi Wan, it sounded like thunder!
Her body froze instantly, and she subconsciously held her breath, not daring to move.
At the same time, a puzzled voice sounded outside: "Brother Dali, did you hear any noise?"
Chi Wan's heartbeat had never been so fast. There was only a closet door between her and these people. She was even worried that her heartbeat like a drum would pass through the thin door panel and reach the ears of several people outside.
After these words were spoken, there was a sudden silence outside. Chi Wan didn't know how much time had passed, he just felt that time had become exceptionally long.
The residual heat of the August evening slowly rose up in the closet, and soon she was sweating profusely.
Just when Chi Wan was ready for the worst, Liu Dali finally spoke in silence, "What's that sound? You can see through this house at a glance. Monkey, when will you change your bad habit of hearing auditory hallucinations when you're nervous? You're always startled."
The other people laughed at him, "That's right. You still live in this house during the day. When Chi Yuanshan said he wanted to go back, do you really think you are a thief?"
"Okay, stop talking nonsense, grab your things and go."
The clashing sounds of the tools gradually faded away, and the cabin finally returned to peace.

Li Xingye was also startled by the soft little hand that suddenly appeared in the space.
When he was on the verge of death, he found that he had inexplicably awakened to a dimension. He found it quite ironic - what else could be put into the dimension? His starved, skinny corpse?
In the tenth year of the apocalypse, the completely alienated land could no longer grow a single seed. When they awakened their special powers, they never imagined that hunger was far more despairing than zombies.
But when he saw a plate of unfinished braised pork in the space, Li Xingye's expression changed completely.
Having not eaten or drunk anything for five days, he tried to take out the plate of braised pork, but was instantly overwhelmed by the rich smell of meat.
By the time he realized what was happening, both the meat and the soup had been eaten up.
His stomach was protesting as he hadn't eaten meat for a long time, but Li Xingye drank a whole bottle of mineral water right after that and felt that even if he died right now, he would have no regrets.
But he wasn't dead.
Not only was he not dead, he also discovered that there was a half-old suitcase in his space.
Out of curiosity, he opened the suitcase...
The girl's underwear was placed casually on the top, soft and clean as if it was a product of the last century.
Li Xingye slammed the suitcase shut. Before he could figure out what was going on, his rough palm was gripped by a small hand that was softer than clothes.

Although it seemed that the people outside had all left, Chi Wan was still thinking about the hand that had inexplicably appeared in the space and was unable to come back to his senses for a while.
Just as she was hesitating whether to go into the space again to take a look, a low voice suddenly came from outside the closet.
"Did I really hear it wrong?"
Chi Wan's heart, which had finally calmed down, started beating wildly again!
"Monkey, what are you doing back here?"
"Oh, I'll come back to check."
"You are the only one who has so much to do every day. Apart from us brothers, who would come here for no reason? Hurry up, or you won't be able to finish the work."
“Here I come.”
Hearing the footsteps fade away again, Chi Wan covered his chest and slowly exhaled.
Fortunately, she didn't rush out, otherwise she would have been caught by the monkey!
In the dead of night, she, a girl, encountered these men with malicious intentions. She didn't dare to think about the consequences...
Not daring to go out for the moment, Chi Wan simply sat in the closet, made up his mind, and opened the space.
If you don't look, you won't know that not only the half plate of braised pork she had left over from the evening was gone, but the entire box of purified water was opened and three bottles were taken away, and even the toast and milk she was going to have for breakfast the next morning disappeared without a trace.
Not to mention, there were signs that her suitcase had been opened!
Chi Wan murmured, "Damn it, can thieves break into space and steal things these days?"
She instantly thought of the rough hand she had grasped earlier.
Just when Chi Wan was confused and puzzled by the series of events that happened tonight, an extremely hoarse voice suddenly sounded in the space.
"Hello, are all the things in this space yours? Sorry, I was so hungry that I ate your food. I can compensate you. Is there anything you want? As long as I can find it, I can bring it to you."
Chi Wan silently opened his eyes wide. This thief... is quite polite. It's just that his voice is a little hoarse, and he really looks like he has been thirsty for a long time.
But when he heard this person say that he was too hungry, Chi Wan's expression became a little strange: "Are you Robinson Crusoe or something, drifting to a deserted island?"
Unexpectedly, the voice said bitterly: "My name is Li Xingye. It has been ten years since I was in the apocalypse. All the edible things have been eaten up. If it weren't for the food and water in your space, I'm afraid I wouldn't survive today."
Food is secondary, the key is drinking water.
Chi Wan was shocked by Li Xingye's words.
End of the world? !
How could my own space be connected to the end of the world? ! Those zombies shouldn't crawl through space...
But, what else can people who can’t even afford to eat exchange?
She said casually, "It's just a little food, just eat it. You can't even get enough food in the end times, what can you exchange with me?"
Just consider it charity.
It was just a casual sigh, but Li Xingye was silent for a moment, and suddenly said: "I'm sorry that I accidentally opened your suitcase before. Look at the clothes. You should live in a peaceful era. Can you see if these can be exchanged?"
Upon hearing this, Chi Wan looked towards the space without hope, and then his eyes widened in shock!
