Wu Cuiling, who was sunbathing in the yard, watched her daughter walk in carrying large and small bags.

“Qingqing is back?” Wu Cuiling said with a smile.

“I came back yesterday. I brought clothes for you and Dad, so you can try them on quickly.”

“These clothes don’t look cheap, did you buy them at a mall in the city?” At this time, Xia Qing’s aunt walked over with a smile and said.

“The tags are still on, 399 shoes, these are really expensive. Quick, quick, return them to the child, this 300 is enough for my living expenses for a month.” Wu Cuiling waved her hand quickly when she saw the price.

“This is your granddaughter earning money in the city to show filial piety to you!”

Back then, Qingqing’s Old Grandma didn’t agree with Xia Qing going to university. The tuition fee was several tens of thousands a year, and her maternal Old Grandma scraped together some money.

“Qingqing, this child, bought a smartphone for me and her Dad!”

“Smartphones aren’t cheap, are they?” Wu Cuiping said, seeing her daughter happy and living well, she was also happy.

“I must let my daughter go to university in the future and find a job in the city.” The aunt said with a smile.

Going to university in the city makes money and is promising.

“Hurry up and try it on! I have it for my dad too!”

Wu Cuiling said it was expensive, but she couldn’t put the clothes down, and quickly asked Yang Xia to help her into the house to try on the new clothes.

Su Yu and Li Yao stayed in the room for a night.

Su Yu looked at the medicine in the space, as well as various self-heating hot pots, and a fragrant roast chicken.

He couldn’t help but drool, and immediately took out a roast chicken.

“Damn, are my eyes playing tricks? Roast, roast chicken?” Li Yao said in shock.

He didn’t know how long it had been since he had seen a creature like a chicken. Since the apocalypse, all animals had mutated.

Including chickens, they were no longer fragrant, but had become disgusting things covered in green pus.

Not to mention roasting and eating them! Just looking at them makes you want to vomit!

Su Yu wasn’t stingy, he gave half to Li Yao. Neither of them devoured it, carefully savoring the roast chicken, and even had clean mineral water to drink.

“We’ll find supplies early in the morning, then kill zombies and go back to the base.” Su Yu said.

There were still many people starving in the base, and many people were probably not going to make it.

“Mm-hmm.” Li Yao nodded, the feeling of this kind of food in his mouth was so comfortable!

The food they used to eat was just to fill their stomachs, no matter how bad it tasted, it was to survive.

Even if it was poisonous or mutated plants, some people ate dirt when they were hungry! In the base’s urban area, some pregnant people ate mutated plants, resulting in babies being born with various deformities.

Some were stillborn before they were even born.

“Will there be this kind of food in the future, right?” Li Yao swallowed a mouthful, and couldn’t help but ask cautiously.

“As long as we find valuable things, we can exchange them.” Su Yu said firmly.

Su Yu frowned slightly. Li Yao became nervous when he saw his expression. He had tasted the big meat buns, roast chicken, and drunk clean water. He was so afraid of losing all of this!

“It’s just that the space is a bit small. If we want to exchange a lot of things to feed the people in the entire base, we need Crystal Beads.”

Only when the space is upgraded can a large amount of supplies be exchanged.

The population in the apocalypse has sharply decreased, and the people in their urban base are also struggling to survive.

“Crystal Beads, leave the zombie killing to me!” Li Yao looked like he had it all covered.

Although Crystal Beads are relatively rare, they are not as useful as food.

Although Crystal Beads can increase strength, what’s the use of improving your abilities when people can’t even eat enough and the water isn’t clean?

Man is iron, food is steel! You’ll be hungry if you don’t eat a meal!

“Mm!”

As long as she upgrades, then the space will expand.

“Fight! I’m going out to fight zombies now, as long as there’s food!”

“Let’s go find something valuable first, and then go back to the base. Those people are going to starve to death without food.”

“We’ll give them food, and let the people at the base give us Crystal Beads and find supplies for us.” Su Yu said.

“Right, right, my son is still at the base, can we get some milk powder?” Li Yao said.

“It should be possible, let’s find something valuable first, and Crystal Beads.”

Find something valuable to give to her, and she will give him food and water.

This can be considered an equal exchange!

Su Yu is a very rigorous person. Although he can exchange for supplies now, the space is too small and the items that can be stored are limited.

Only by letting the other party upgrade first, and the space becomes larger, can the other party get more supplies.

The more supplies are exchanged, the more people in the food base will survive.

The sky was just getting bright, and the two of them headed towards the urban area. They didn’t dare to get too close, as there were too many zombies, and there would be a risk to their lives.

They solved all the zombies they encountered on the road, but most of them didn’t have Crystal Beads in their brains.

This is the same as with ability users, some people awaken, and some don’t. The same is true for zombies.

But for the sake of Crystal Beads, they dissected the brains of every zombie they killed.

In the small space, the food that Xia Qing bought alone took up half of it.

Su Yu took out two Crystal Beads and put them into the space. They had a time difference, it was daytime for him now.

It should be night for Xia Qing.

The shops on both sides of the street, those convenience stores, small supermarkets, and snack shops, had long been looted.

The clothing stores had also been looted almost completely.

Su Yu looked at the space and realized that Xia Qing had left a small notebook in the space, with delicate handwriting writing that if there were any novels or literary items, she wanted them all.

“Where’s a bookstore? Let’s go check one out.”

“Bookstore? Weren’t we supposed to go to the gold shop? Get gold, get money!” Li Yao said, his mind now entirely occupied with money.
He used to treat money like dung.

“Follow me.” Su Yu didn’t want to waste time chattering with Li Yao.
The latter obediently followed Su Yu—after all, Su Yu was now a big shot, and following a big shot meant there was meat to be had.

The bookstore was covered in dust, and the books on display had become moldy. He casually placed two books on the shelf and even added a comic book.
Next, he went to the jewellery store next door; although it wasn’t the gold shop, it still had some valuable jewellery.
He had collected nearly everything, as the space was too small to store too many items.

“Let’s go back to the base first!”
First, send the food exchanged from the space back!

“Okay!”

The space was just too small to collect too much at once.

The next day, as soon as Xia Qing woke up, she immediately entered her space. Of the food she had bought yesterday, she had eaten a few, yet quite a bit remained.
All that was left were a few books Su Yu had found for her, a comic, and a pile of jewellery.
Although these weren’t gold, their materials were quite unusual and the craftsmanship very exquisite.

She looked at the books and the comic—items from another time-space. The two novels were comprised of the first and middle volumes, with the lower volume missing.

She turned on her computer and visited the most renowned novel website to register a writer’s account; there were so many words to type that it was too tiring, and she practically needed an entire scanner.
The rest were pieces of jewellery with very attractive designs, and she wondered how much they might sell for when listed online.

Beep beep beep.

Xia Qing’s WeChat kept ringing—it was her middle school classmate, Wang Sisi.
“I’m getting married this week—will you be my bridesmaid?”
