"Is everything alright? Is it just temporarily unusable, or will it be unusable forever?" Xiao Lingfeng was actually concerned about the plane. Was the sudden inability to load cargo due to exceeding its capacity?
"It's okay, it should be fine in a few days. Let's pick out the ones we can carry first."
"We'll have to deal with the rest later." As Jian Ning spoke, she was still thinking that the sudden upgrade of this space must be related to that dilapidated cabinet.
Could it be some kind of antique, something valuable? She hadn't really looked at it closely earlier. This jade pendant's spatial dimension isn't like her immortal abode, which she can communicate with. How frustrating.
So he had to find a large bag and collect all the edible things that hadn't expired. Since the assault boat couldn't hold much, Xiao Lingfeng made a wooden boat himself and used it to tow the food.
Since there wasn't much stuff on the truck, instead of taking it to a fixed location to notify the rescue center as initially planned, we took it back to Jinmao Mansion.
Before they even reached the entrance of the residential area, they ran into Cao Xue and Zhang Xiaoqiang.
"Jian Ning, look, we caught two pigs!" Cao Xue waved excitedly at them from the kayak, almost jumping for joy.
"You guys are really something. This one must weigh over 100 pounds, right?" Jian Ning glanced at the pig that was tied up in the kayak, and couldn't help but smile.
"Absolutely, neither of us dares to kill it. The weather is so hot, the meat wouldn't keep well. We'll just have to find a way to raise it for now."
"Keep them indoors? Do you have anything to feed them? Don't let them get too thin. If you ask me, you'd be better off taking these pigs to a rescue center to exchange them for more food and winter supplies."
I think the weather is about to change. If it suddenly gets cold, you two won't be prepared at all, and it will be hard to get through."
After hearing Jian Ning's words, Zhang Xiaoqiang stopped rowing. He stood still, glanced back at Cao Xue, and asked for her opinion. The two whispered a few words to each other and decided to listen to Jian Ning.
"Thank you, we'll head to the rescue station now." Zhang Xiaoqiang didn't go back to the residential area. Instead, he pulled the two pigs, turned the boat around, and rowed towards the rescue station.
"Your two classmates are quite perceptive," Xiao Lingfeng thought. He felt that only people like that could survive longer in this world, at least they listened to advice and didn't argue.
Jian Ning smiled slightly. She also thought that Cao Xue and Zhang Xiaoqiang were of good character, so she would help them when she could.
The two of them dragged the bags up to the fifteenth floor with great difficulty. They called out to Jian Anping to turn off the power to the gate, and he opened the gate and ran down in less than two minutes.
"You guys have reaped quite a lot from this trip. Why are you carrying everything yourselves? Did your spell malfunction?" He asked Jian Ning while helping her move the things.
"Pretty much. We came back from our trip with a recovered airplane. Surprised?"
"An airplane? That's impressive. So you can drive it?" Jian Anping looked at Jian Ning with some doubt. He knew his sister well; she had only learned to drive less than two years ago.
"I don't know how, but we have the all-around Xiao brother, right? He can drive it. I hope we never have to use it. I'm just keeping it as a precaution."
Jian Anping could only give her a thumbs up. Wow, this is practically a private jet. With this, their survival security has increased significantly.
Once upstairs, the three of them divided the supplies in a very simple and straightforward manner, simply splitting the bags in half. Jian Anping wasn't with them today, so he wasn't included.
However, Jian Ning had him take all the supplies back to 1601, and then went back inside. She tried to enter the jade pendant space, but there was still no response.
Thankfully, she had left some bottled water and food in the house, so the supply of supplies didn't suddenly run out. It's just that using the toilet is a bit of a hassle; she can only use the cat litter she was given at the beginning.
This incident served as a wake-up call for her; she shouldn't put all her eggs in one basket. Even a cunning rabbit has three burrows. She needs to remember this lesson from today.
No external force is as important as one's own strength, so he sat cross-legged and began to cultivate. He was surprised to find that the spiritual energy in the air was much richer than in the past few days; could it be due to a change in wind direction?
Or perhaps the arrival of this extreme cold weather is a good thing for her.
At the very least, there's a clear feeling that my cultivation speed has increased significantly.
When Jian Ning returned from having lunch at Jian Anping's place at noon, she was pleasantly surprised to find that the jade pendant space was usable. She couldn't wait to go in and was astonished to find that the entire space had expanded to more than three times its original size.
The plane was parked alone in a corner. The small building, which was originally two stories, became three stories.
The winding stream has been widened considerably, and the vegetables and fruits planted in the black soil have all ripened at once, hanging heavily on the branches.
The air was filled with the aroma of fruits and melons. Jian Ning was overjoyed.
Although they weren't spirit fruits, these fruits were fresh. No matter how tough life was outside, with these, she would never have to worry for the rest of her life, achieving complete freedom from fruit and vegetable shortages.
When she ran into the small building, she found that everything she had collected over this period of time was gone.
Only after walking around the back of the small building did I see that a two-story warehouse had been added. All the supplies were neatly categorized and stored.
It seems that this space upgrade brings quite a few benefits.
I quickly took a shower, changed my clothes, and went to the orchard to pick two bags of fruit. I delivered one bag to Jian Anping's house first, and took the other bag to room 1603.
It was Aunt Wang who opened the door.
"Xiao Ning, come in quickly. Ling Feng just finished eating and said he'd like to take a nap. You've all worked hard these past few days."
If you hadn't gone out to find supplies, we, the old and the young, wouldn't be able to stay at home so comfortably. I even heard someone arguing downstairs just now.
It seems they've run out of food at home, but don't want to ask for help. They spent their life savings on this house; who would willingly leave their home unless absolutely necessary?
Jian Ning nodded in agreement. Although that was true, staying alive was still the most important thing.
"Auntie, these fruits are for you and Tian Tian. Is Tian Tian taking a nap too?"
"No, she's drawing inside. This child has it tough, stuck at home with this old lady every day."
"It's all flooded outside, so we can't go downstairs to play. The stairwells aren't very spacious either, and besides, any movement would leave us drenched in sweat."
"I'll go out and see if I find any suitable toys to bring back for Tian Tian. Right now, we just have to stay home," Jian Ning said, not having any better ideas.
Or we can wait a while longer, until the water outside freezes. When the temperature isn't too low at midday, we can take the kids downstairs for some fresh air.
