After ten minutes of processing everything, the five girls of Dorm 806 gradually calmed down. Xiao Feiran’s fingers had been flying nonstop as she frantically searched things online. In the end, she arrived at a conclusion.
This thing was probably an alternate dimension space.
In novels, this kind of thing was the ultimate cheat ability. Once someone had it, they could basically survive all the way to the final chapter.
Chen Siyu’s eyes lit up as she cautiously placed her hand into the cabinet. She did not feel anything strange.
“This is insane. Looking at the whole world, this is seriously mind blowing!”
Cheng Zhi sat on the floor and stared at the dorm room inside the cabinet, deep in thought.
What exactly was this place?
How big was it?
Could there be danger inside?
Was this a gift from heaven, or an unknown disaster?
Everyone watched from the side. Finally, Cheng Zhi stood up and walked to the cabinet door, intending to go check out the other side.
Xiao Feiran immediately wanted to follow her, but Cheng Zhi stopped her.
“We still don’t know whether it’s dangerous over there. I’ll go scout it out alone first. If it’s safe, then everyone wins. If it’s dangerous, at least there’ll be fewer casualties.”
Those words hit the point directly.
Xiao Feiran no longer insisted on going forward. Instead, she handed Cheng Zhi a kitchen knife.
“If you run into something, chop the hell out of it!”
Cheng Zhi nodded and walked over.
The other four girls held their breath from this side and silently prayed for Cheng Zhi.
The room inside the cabinet was almost a perfect copy of their dorm. It had the same six loft beds with desks underneath and the same clock hanging on the wall.
But the original door was gone.
Cheng Zhi hurriedly turned around and looked behind her. To her surprise, the area beyond the balcony had become flat land. It was about the same size as the dorm, and beyond that, everything was shrouded in white mist.
Tightening her grip on the kitchen knife, Cheng Zhi cautiously walked toward the balcony step by step. She climbed over the railing and headed toward the white mist. Then she swung the knife into it a few times.
There was no resistance at all.
But suddenly, an electronic synthesized voice sounded.
“This area has not yet been unlocked. Please continue working hard.”
Not yet unlocked?
That meant the areas covered by the white mist could also be developed?
Filled with confusion, Cheng Zhi returned from the cabinet and told the other four everything she had seen and heard.
Everyone sank into thought.
Chen Siyu looked at the pile of books on the table, picked up two or three of them, and tossed them into the cabinet.
Almost instantly, the books transformed into streaks of white light and disappeared.
Everyone collectively shouted, “Holy shit!”
But the one screaming the loudest was Huang Yiyi. She practically climbed onto Chen Siyu.
“You’re throwing my books, damn it! If you toss them away, what am I supposed to read in class?!”
Xiao Feiran, who stood closest to them, tried to break things up.
“The world’s about to end, what books are you still worried about?”
Huang Yiyi: “…”
“Great comfort. Really comforting. I feel absolutely uncomforted.”
After the books disappeared, Cheng Zhi and Zheng Wan quickly leaned in to look inside, but they could not spot any differences.
Zheng Wan shivered slightly in fear.
“How did they just disappear? If people stay in there too long, will they disappear too?”
Cheng Zhi gave up trying to think things through and began tossing all sorts of random things from her desk into the space, books, snacks, and miscellaneous items.
After a long while, only the books had disappeared.
“I don’t know if it’s just my imagination, but doesn’t this dorm feel a little bigger than ours now?” Cheng Zhi paced around inside the space.
Suddenly, an interesting idea popped into her mind.
She turned around and looked at the other four.
“Is there a chance that this cabinet grows by eating books? We had stockpiled books for three years before, and maybe it swallowed all of them. Then somehow, by pure accident, it turned into this.”
The four girls outside the cabinet thought it over and felt that was the most likely explanation.
Xiao Feiran directly grabbed a measuring tape from the table.
Practice was the source of truth.
Why not measure it and find out?
The results showed that the dorm inside the cabinet really was one and a half meters wider than the outside dorm.
The girls nearly went crazy with excitement.
It had grown that much larger, and it was a space belonging only to the five of them.
Whether for storing people or supplies, there was more than enough room.
In the end, everyone unanimously decided that once everyone else in the building had gone to sleep, they would move all the supplies from Dorm 835 into the space.
Earlier, Huang Yiyi had cried and wailed over losing her books. But now she frantically shoved book after book into the cabinet.
Her enthusiasm made it seem like she believed the dorm would transform into a giant villa if she fed it enough.
Soon everyone started throwing books inside.
In the end, they managed to expand the dorm by another two meters.
Although it was not much, it was still better than nothing.
At midnight, the people of Dorm 806 began their operation.
Trip after trip, they moved supplies back and forth between the two dorms.
While carrying things, Xiao Feiran discovered that electricity even worked inside the cabinet space.
She immediately began considering buying a refrigerator.
In their previous lives, the one who had survived the longest among them had only lasted ten months. Nobody knew when the apocalypse would end.
But now that they had this space, electricity and water no longer seemed to be a problem.
Buying a refrigerator suddenly did not seem unreasonable at all.
The five girls worked nonstop until the middle of the night and eventually collapsed from exhaustion.
Then, just as dawn was beginning to break, Huang Yiyi’s alarm went off.
The others slept too deeply and did not hear it, but Cheng Zhi was a light sleeper. After only two rings, she woke up.
The two girls silently walked to the cabinet together and opened the doors.
Only after seeing the supplies still safely inside did they finally relax.
Thankfully, the space only ate books, not supplies.
Just as they were about to leave, Cheng Zhi suddenly noticed a cold glint.
She nudged Huang Yiyi with her elbow and motioned for her to look at the table.
Five keys had mysteriously appeared on the previously empty desk.
Neither Cheng Zhi nor Huang Yiyi understood where they had come from.
So they picked up the keys, returned to the dorm, and woke everyone else to investigate together.
No one had any clue.
Everyone leaned against one another in groups, half asleep.
Xiao Feiran, who usually read a lot of novels, rapidly searched through her memories and lazily said,
“Is there a chance this is a portable version of the space? Like, if we carry these keys, we can enter that space no matter where we are?”
“They gave us the item but not an instruction manual,” Chen Siyu complained with her eyes still closed.
Cheng Zhi looked at the key in her hand and calmed her thoughts, focusing only on entering the space.
Then, with a whoosh, she disappeared directly from the dorm room.
Looking at the supplies around her, Cheng Zhi smiled.
This was way too awesome.
Instant movement.
If danger ever appeared, she could just vanish.
When Cheng Zhi emerged from the cabinet, the other four were stunned.
But after a moment, they all grabbed their keys and started trying it out too.
Meanwhile, Cheng Zhi continued studying the key from the side, trying to discover new functions.
If it could store people, then maybe it could store objects too?
Thinking of this, she pressed the key against her tablet.
The tablet instantly vanished into the space.
The others were overjoyed.
Perfect.
Now they could buy a refrigerator.
Not only that, they could quietly bring it in without alerting the dorm supervisor.
The five girls changed clothes and headed out.
Once again, they launched into another shopping frenzy as if they had been injected with adrenaline.
The giant refrigerator for Dorm 806 was now absolutely happening.
