“Ningning, should we take these pork and other meats? Will they spoil if we put them in the Small Space?” Her mother followed behind her, collecting items while asking, treating each piece of meat with utmost seriousness and reverence.
“Take them for now.” Xie Ning nodded without much thought.
After all, the living room space was quite large now, so there was no need to worry about collecting too much.
Moreover, the ceiling of their villa was much higher than those in small apartment buildings, which meant there was plenty of hidden space.
Later, they could stack bags of items on top of each other, making efficient use of the space.
“Be careful when you’re collecting things. Don’t let anyone nearby see you.”
“I know, Mom.” As she spoke, Xie Ning took two large plastic bags filled with fresh meat from her mother’s hands and stored them in the space.
Walking over to the freezer section, she saw that it still contained a large amount of frozen food.
None of the survivors who had come to loot the place had taken these items.
After all, they were useless without a freezer to store them—they would spoil and rot easily. It was better to grab a few boxes of instant noodles to stave off hunger.
Song You’ai stared at the freezers filled with supplies and suddenly had an idea. “Sweetie, why don’t we take these freezers into the space too? Will the Small Space have enough room?”
Xie Ning slapped her forehead and nodded, saying it would fit. Following Song You’ai’s suggestion, she directly stored all six freezers away.
As she stored the freezers, Xie Ning consciously arranged them neatly, placing them in a row near the floor-to-ceiling windows.
The only question was how long the food would stay fresh in freezers without electricity.
Seeing this, Song You’ai looked amazed. “Sweetie, this Small Space doesn’t seem so small to me.”
Xie Ning was momentarily speechless at her mother’s comment and could only mumble a few vague words to brush it off.
After all, she didn’t know how to explain it to her mother.
Why had the two-square-meter Small Space from her previous life suddenly Mutated into the living room of their large villa?
The young girl was utterly confused and couldn’t figure it out herself…
The two of them rushed to the daily necessities section, grabbing a bit of this and a bit of that.
Fortunately, Song You’ai was very familiar with the layout of the Aijia Supermarket. She guided her daughter directly to their targets without taking any detours.
After sweeping the shelves clean of useful long-handled kitchen knives and other usable tools, Xie Ning took out her phone to check the time. “Let’s go. Song Kexin must be getting impatient.”
It wasn’t safe to leave her cousin in the car for too long, so they needed to hurry back.
“Alright.” Song You’ai gripped a long-handled kitchen knife and swung it a few times in the air. “How did you two get here?”
Xie Ning suddenly turned to look at Song You’ai. “Mom, why don’t we take the delivery truck from your supermarket too?”
…
Song Kexin was almost driven to despair from waiting.
It turned out her cousin hadn’t changed at all—still unreliable and completely lacking a sense of time.
They had agreed to come out in twenty minutes, but it had been almost an hour!
Back when they used to go shopping together, she always had to wait!
Once, it was particularly outrageous. She had waited in the cold wind for nearly an hour, and when she called to ask, that girl was still in bed, having completely forgotten their plans…
Sitting in the car, Song Kexin felt incredibly stifled but was too scared to open the door.
What if she encountered a zombie if she got out casually?
Nervously tugging at the hem of her clothes and rubbing her hands from time to time, she silently prayed for her cousin to return quickly.
Just then, a small van turned out from the supermarket’s back door and pulled up steadily beside her business car.
The door opened, and Xie Ning and Song You’ai jumped out.
Song Kexin hurriedly opened the door of the business car and excitedly ran out, “Sister, Auntie.”
