After entering the space, Bai Yang looked at the barren land and suddenly felt unsure where to begin.
In the end, she chose an area that was neither too close to nor too far from the stream and planted several kinds of vegetable seeds.
She then cleared another plot beside the vegetable patch and planted watermelons and Hami melons.
While sorting through the seeds, she happened to find some sunflower seeds and casually scattered them along the raised ridges between the two plots.
Bai Yang raised a hand and rubbed her aching waist.
She suddenly missed her mental power.
If she still had her mental power, planting vegetables would not be nearly so troublesome. With a single thought, everything could have been done.
In an instant, Bai Yang left the space and checked the time on her phone.
Only half an hour had passed.
She could not help thinking that heaven had truly been far too kind to her in this rebirth.
After working in the space for so long, Bai Yang no longer had the energy to go downstairs for food. She could only order delivery and use the time while waiting to carefully plan what she should do next.
However, while waiting for her food, Bai Yang received a call from someone she had never expected.
“Hello?”
There was silence on the other end of the line for several seconds before a voice finally spoke.
“Qingqing.”
In an instant, Bai Yang felt the blood in her entire body rush to her head.
“I… I’m here. What is it?”
Bai Yang could clearly feel herself stammering.
The voice on the other end was incredibly pleasant to listen to, yet it also sounded strangely familiar.
“Fu Le said you took leave from school and were going home.”
“Fu Le? Going home?”
Bai Yang froze.
She finally understood why the voice on the phone had sounded so familiar.
It was not because it resembled the voice of the man from the previous night.
The person on the phone was her brother, Bai Heyu!
“Brother? Why is it you?”
Hearing the surprise in Bai Yang’s voice, Bai Heyu moved his lips slightly but ultimately did not ask the question in his heart.
“Fu Le and I are friends. He told me yesterday that you had taken leave. Haven’t you arrived home yet?”
“I’m already in Q City, but I haven’t gone home yet. I’ll go back in a few days.”
Bai Yang sounded somewhat guilty.
For some reason, she did not particularly want Bai Heyu to know where she was.
“Qingqing, don’t play around too much while you’re out. Go home early. It isn’t safe for you to be alone.”
“Okay, I understand, Brother.”
Bai Yang always felt that something was strange about her brother’s tone.
Bai Heyu was her brother, but they were not related by blood.
If one were to say that they were close, they were not. Their relationship was more like that of acquaintances who simply nodded when they met, and they rarely exchanged unnecessary words.
But if one were to say that they were not close, Bai Heyu still gave her a gift every year on her birthday.
The jade pendant she had worn before had also been given to her by Bai Heyu.
After hanging up, Bai Yang saw that someone had transferred money to her phone.
A full 200,000 yuan!
She did not even need to think about it to know that it had been transferred by her brother.
However, Bai Yang could not help wondering exactly what her brother did for a living to be so wealthy.
After her afternoon rest, Bai Yang found the largest clothing manufacturer in H City.
After asking around, she learned that the factory still had a large amount of unsold clothing in stock, most of which consisted of winter clothes in various sizes.
Bai Yang was overjoyed.
With a wave of her hand, she bought everything.
She spent two million yuan and asked the factory to sort and deliver all the clothes to the eastern outskirts of H City by the following morning.
The factory manager immediately beamed with delight after securing such a large order and promised Bai Yang that everything would definitely be delivered on time.
After exchanging contact information, Bai Yang left the clothing factory.
The main reason she had ordered such a massive amount of clothing was because not long after the apocalypse began, the entire world would face a blizzard lasting more than half a year.
The average temperature would reach minus thirty degrees Celsius.
Bai Yang clearly remembered that many people who had survived without becoming infected by the zombie virus had still frozen to death because they could not adapt to the harsh weather that lasted for more than half a year.
Although she had been reborn, Bai Yang was still terrified of that bone-piercing cold.
With the problem of clothing basically solved, Bai Yang decided to spend the remaining time exploring H City and see if there was anything else that might be useful during the apocalypse.
After wandering around for a long time, Bai Yang saw many street stalls selling snacks.
She could not help thinking about how wonderful it would be if she could stockpile more cooked food.
After the apocalypse began, whenever she went out on missions and became hungry, she could simply take food out of her space and eat it.
Unfortunately, time inside the space did not stop, and food would still spoil if left there for too long.
After walking around for quite some time without finding anything else she needed, Bai Yang was about to call a car back to the hotel when the corner of her eye caught sight of an old-fashioned blacksmith shop hidden away in a corner.
Without hesitation, Bai Yang abandoned the idea of returning to the hotel and turned toward the blacksmith shop.
After struggling through the apocalypse for three years, Bai Yang deeply understood the importance of cold weapons.
With the rapid advancement of technology, people had become overly dependent on firearms and other hot weapons after the apocalypse began, greatly reducing their ability to protect themselves.
After all, the number of firearms was extremely limited.
The first thing Bai Yang noticed upon entering the blacksmith shop was how cluttered it was.
The temperature inside was also extremely high, and the constant clanging of iron striking iron echoed throughout the shop.
The owner was a sturdy middle-aged man with a face full of beard.
When he saw Bai Yang enter, he merely glanced at her before lowering his head and continuing to pour material into the mold in his hands.
Most of the items in the blacksmith shop were farming tools.
Bai Yang searched around and eventually found a long saber in the corner.
The saber seemed to have been forgotten there for a very long time, and its blade was already covered in dust.
Bai Yang bent down and picked it up.
She weighed it in her hand and casually spun it before muttering, “This saber isn’t bad, but it’s a little too light. It doesn’t feel very comfortable to use.”
The moment Bai Yang picked up the saber, the blacksmith stopped working.
He narrowed his eyes and examined the slender young woman standing before him.
“You want to buy a saber, young lady?”
Hearing him speak to her, Bai Yang turned around with the saber still in her hand.
“Yes! Do you have a better saber than this one? Preferably something heavier.”
The blacksmith stared at Bai Yang for two or three seconds before turning around and lifting the curtain behind him.
Bai Yang waited for a while before he finally returned.
The moment she saw the saber in his hands, her eyes immediately lit up.
She quickly stepped forward, wanting to get a closer look.
“Can I try that one?”
The blacksmith did not say anything.
However, he extended both hands and offered the saber to Bai Yang.
The moment Bai Yang took it, her wrist sank from the weight, and her eyes shone even brighter.
The blade alone was nearly one meter long and about five centimeters wide.
The entire saber was heavy without being unwieldy.
Bai Yang spun it in her hand, and the weight felt just right.
It would be perfect for cutting down zombies.
Bai Yang happily held the saber and looked up at the blacksmith.
“How much is this saber? I’ll take it!”
Seeing that the delight in Bai Yang’s eyes was genuine, the blacksmith fell silent for a moment before expressionlessly holding up two fingers.
“Two million?”
Bai Yang looked at the price he had indicated, then looked down at the saber in her hands.
She gritted her teeth.
So what if it was two million?
She would pay for it!
What could possibly be more important than having a weapon to protect herself during the apocalypse?
Hearing Bai Yang say two million and seeing the pained expression on her face, the blacksmith’s mouth twitched.
He finally spoke.
“It’s two hundred thousand, not two million.”
The moment Bai Yang heard that he only wanted two hundred thousand, the pain in her heart immediately turned into delight.
“I’ll buy it! I’ll also take the saber I was looking at earlier. How much for both? Give me the payment code!”
Bai Yang looked so eager to pay that it seemed as though she were afraid the blacksmith would change his mind.
In the end, she bought both sabers for a total of 220,000 yuan and left the blacksmith shop.
Bai Yang found a secluded place without any surveillance cameras and stored both sabers in her space.
Then, filled with joy, she called a car and returned to the hotel.
