Chapter 6 Using Space Has a Price

The fire in the basement quickly spread to the underground floor, quickly engulfing several nearby rooms, and then smoke and flames quickly rolled upstairs through the windows and stairways.

In such a dry environment, I believe that the entire villa will be engulfed in fire within a few minutes.

Mi Ajiu ran out as fast as she could in her life and looked back at the mansion. Thick smoke and flames had already swept up to the second floor. All the scenery was steaming and distorted before her eyes, becoming so unreal.

Fortunately, this villa is located in the suburbs. Qi Zhouming bought the land and built it himself. It used to be used for vacations. There are no other residents around, and the nearest one is three or four miles away.

This time, they all moved here because they were under the control of "Qi Mingyuan" and were afraid that outsiders would discover their abnormalities.

As for surveillance, "Qi Mingyuan" has been shut down a long time ago, which now makes Mi Ajiu less worried.

The area around the villa was originally a hillside covered with dense woods. Due to more than a year of drought, only a withered and yellow patch of land remained.

On the left, there is a stone path leading to the top of the mountain. There is a pavilion every 100 meters or so. It was built in conjunction with this villa before Qi Zhouming. Because it is far away from villages and cities, few people usually come here.

But these facilities and villas are maintained every year, so they are still complete.

Miajiu ran for a mile or two and was already out of breath from exhaustion.

I felt a sense of weakness in my body, and my head felt a little dizzy.

She had to find a secluded corner to sit down and rest, but when she took a rest, she found that her body was shaking involuntarily. This person was like clockwork, shrouded in an indescribable fear.

She, she just killed, killed..., and then let...h... go.

There are also those silk threads, mummies, and crumpled things...

In less than three hours, her understanding of the world that she had built up over the past thirty years was completely overturned.

Looking up at the sky, the scorching sun fell on her body through the sparse dead trees, but she didn't feel hot at all. She even felt a chill that penetrated her body and soul from the soles of her feet, her back, and her heart.

Miajiu forced herself to calm down. If she didn't calm down, she wouldn't be able to walk, let alone leave this place.

There is just a label on her forehead telling people: Look at me, I have a problem.

Breathe, breathe again.

You have never been to this place, you have broken up with your boyfriend...

Miajiu took a deep breath and mentally prepared herself, and her trembling eased slightly.

He quickly took out the unsoiled pieces of bread and started eating them. After two bites, he choked and rolled his eyes. He quickly drank some water to relieve his pain.

After eating all the bread, my body finally regained some strength.

After a period of adjustment, Mi Ajiu has calmed down.

Then quickly use the remaining mineral water to wash away the dirt on your face and hands, and take out clean clothes and put on them.

I patted my face, adjusted my mood and facial expression, and made sure there was nothing wrong before going down the mountain, driving around a few times and returning to the rental house.

The rental house is located in a resettlement community in the suburbs, only about ten kilometers away from the villa and more than thirty kilometers away from the city center.

It's in the suburbs, and it's on the seventh floor of the top floor. There's no elevator, and it's such a hot weather. If you don't really have money, who would be willing to sweat and climb that high every day. So the rent is only half of other houses.

Mi Ajiu changed all the clothes on her body and washed them from head to toe. The clothes she changed were burned in an iron basin and flushed into the sewer.

As for the missing bone-cutting knife, she had already thrown it into the flames and destroyed it.

Boom, boom, boom, several hours have passed, and my heartbeat is still very fast.

Miajiu looked at the familiar room, hugged the pillow, tried to calm down, and finally felt a little more at ease.

But now is not the time to rest, all the food stored in the space was wasted in order to deal with the proto-nucleus.

Once she doesn't have enough food, she has no confidence.

Judging from the experience of using space in the past week, every time I use my mind to contact the space and access items, a lot of energy is consumed.

The most intuitive feeling is that every time you use the space, you will feel weak.

Of course, as her food intake increased and she replenished energy in time, this feeling of weakness became less and less.

Therefore, she must prepare more food in the space as soon as possible.

Mi Ajiu tidied herself up again, then put on a sunhat, mask, arm sleeves, and parasol and went out.

It was past three in the afternoon, and the sun was scorching the earth like fire.

The soles of the sneakers she wore were at least two centimeters thick, but they still felt like stepping on a hot iron plate with bare feet. Even if she stood in one place for a little longer, she could smell the stench of melted rubber soles.

Miajiu felt that her vision had begun to distort, and the photovoltaic power generation panels reflecting light on the tall buildings became blurry in her eyes.

It seems that the energy of those few breads has been almost consumed, so I need to eat something quickly.

It must be at least forty-five or six degrees.

The drought and lack of rain have lasted for more than two years, and instead of relieving the heat, it has become more severe.

It is said that the cold current is blocked by the mountains and the monsoon ocean currents are disordered... In short, the planet's climate is in chaos.

People seem to be becoming more and more adaptable to high temperatures, and they still live a step-by-step and orderly life after adjusting their work and rest schedules.

Photovoltaic panels are installed everywhere, greenhouses are planted, and groundwater is mined. However, more things are stocked than ever before, from rice, flour, grains and oils to paper towels and drinking water, as well as gasoline, charcoal, and even firewood for those who can afford it.

Land hoarding.

Except for the increasingly frequent incidents of people and animals violently hurting people, everything seems normal.

Miajiu felt that the world might never be able to return to what it once was.

Gurgling... her stomach began to sing, bringing her thoughts back.

Since having the space debris, Miajiu's food intake has more than doubled than before, and she also gets hungry faster, and her body has not gained any weight.

The more she uses the space, the more obvious this feeling becomes.

After the space upgrade, she took the bus and drank all the remaining bread and mineral water. Less than an hour after getting off the bus, she found that she was hungry again.

She was filled with joy and worry, as well as an increasingly strong sense of urgency.

It seems that this Rubik's Cube space is not completely free to use. Anyway, let's eat something to fill our stomachs before going to the supermarket to stock up.

If in the past, she really liked the setting of eating too much and not getting fat, but the problem now is that the world has changed, and I am afraid that supplies will become tight in the future.

No, it's not "maybe", but "definitely".

So being able to eat may not be a good thing, so she felt very urgent.

Before everything breaks out completely, while she can still buy things, she must stock up on supplies.

Mi Ajiu discovered that what came with the space, apart from her boyfriend who suddenly became clingy, were the increasingly obvious changes in her body: such as being able to eat, such as her skin becoming better, such as having greater strength... eating

With great strength, I can hide it, but how can I hide that my skin has gotten better? Talk about makeup? Say I used some kind of secret recipe? Sooner or later, the secret will be revealed. So I have to leave my job.

Now that she has solved her boyfriend's bug, all that's left is her future livelihood.

Even if there is space, if there is no job and no money, how can you buy things? How can you store supplies?

Mi Ajiu also has a preliminary plan for this - she is now physically stronger than ordinary people, especially in terms of heat resistance. The weather at 41 or 2 degrees is just like the 31 or 2 degrees before, and she is at 45 or 6 degrees.

It feels a little hot only when the temperature is over 50 degrees, so I don’t need to fan myself... With such a heat-resistant physique, it is not suitable to be a delivery person and run errands.

In this weather, most people stay in air-conditioned rooms, so the distribution of supplies requires people...
