In mid-November, the weather in S City, which had already entered late autumn, began to heat up after a tornado ravaged the area.
"This damn weather, it's actually 25 degrees today, can you believe it?" In the elevator, a young couple returning home were talking in a low voice.
"I took out my winter clothes to dry in the sun, but today everyone on the street is wearing short-sleeves."
"Isn't this good? It means this winter should be a mild one."
"What do you know? This is the greenhouse effect. From now on, the winters on Blue Star will only get shorter and shorter, and the winter temperatures will get higher year by year."
“That’s not how the greenhouse effect is explained, right?”
"You understand? You understand, just say..."
…
You Xi stood in the corner of the elevator, quietly listening to the couple's chat. The elevator soon stopped at the eighth floor, and the two walked out. After that, there was a slight complaint: "Why is this place being renovated again? Everything is being renovated.
How long has it been and it’s still not over?”
"I guess the glass was broken during the last tornado."
"It's been about ten days, and it's not finished yet... Do you want to make a fuss..."
"Forget it, forget it..."
Complaints in the corridor were quickly interrupted by the closed elevator door.
You Xi returned to her parents' apartment on the fifteenth floor. Fan Qi had already prepared dinner, and You Feng was helping to serve the food.
Fan Qi saw You Xi entering the door and exclaimed: "Why didn't you say anything when you went home for dinner? You didn't go out on a date or anything this weekend?"
You Xi sighed while changing his shoes.
This is my biological mother. She only came back for dinner once in the past week or two. Ms. Fan Qi called her "Baby Girl" every time. She enthusiastically asked her what she wanted to eat, and cooked whatever she wanted.
Now she goes home for dinner every night, and occasionally stays overnight. Ms. Fan Qi starts to feel that she is at home too often...
It has been about ten days since the last tornado, and the panic caused by the hurricane has long dissipated, and no one even mentioned it online.
When you open the hot search, half of it is related to the entertainment industry, and most of the rest is about current social affairs and interesting things about eating and playing. There are only one or two hot searches about the return of the temperature, and they are basically buried at the bottom.
Row.
Yes, there have been such relapses in autumn and winter in the past. At first, some people were concerned about it, but as time went by, everyone got used to it.
Anyway, everyone has heard of the greenhouse effect. Nowadays, the air pollution in Blue Star is becoming more and more serious year by year. It is not surprising that the temperature is unstable. No one cares about the temperature return that has no impact on life.
"Wash your hands and eat." Fan Qi is happy to see her daughter come home more often, but she is already twenty-six years old and has not brought home a boyfriend to show them.
Although they are not those who push for marriage, from Fan Qi's point of view, they always hope that their daughter can date more, fall in love more times during her most youthful and beautiful years, and enjoy her youth and love.
You Xi hummed, turned around and walked towards the bathroom.
There are two bathrooms in this apartment, one upstairs next to her parents' room and the other downstairs.
You Xi opened the bathroom door, and what he saw was not the original bathroom of several square meters, but the empty star house that had expanded to 40 square meters in light gray tones.
A week ago, when she decided to move the star house to her parents' apartment, she had considered where to place it.
The system said that the Star House placement area must be a separate fixed space, such as the stairwell of her small apartment. It cannot cover the entire apartment because the apartment has several rooms and is a multi-space.
Secondly, when the star house is relocated and reset, it must be placed in a space that normal people can open and enter normally. The focus is on the two points that normal people can open and enter. For example, a room with no door and only a mouse hole will not work, because normal people
You can't get in; another example is a room with no door and only a door frame, because it loses its unity.
But once the star house is successfully placed and fixed in position, there is no need to take into account the above requirements. No matter the door is broken, the room structure is damaged, or even the roof collapses and the floor is missing, the star house will always be in the original fixed position.
In fact, You Xi also considered not moving the Star House yet and letting her parents live in her apartment.
But now, everything is just her guess. The native world is currently calm. There were many disasters before, but one or two disasters cannot mean anything. After all, the two disasters did not cause collective casualties.
So she didn't plan to tell her parents about the Star House for the time being, because once the topic started, everything else would become impossible to hide.
She didn't want them to live a life of worry. What if her world was always fine? But her parents had to live in fear every day. This was not a situation she wanted to see.
She hoped that she had prepared everything in order to leave enough escape routes for their family, instead of causing their worldview to collapse and living in worry from now on, waiting for an apocalypse that she didn't know when it would come, or perhaps never.
Therefore, after careful consideration, she did not let them activate the "Star House Passenger" immediately, but chose to place the Star House closest to them.
Since the entire first floor of her parents' house was an open space except for the bathroom, she finally placed the star house in the bathroom on the first floor.
Due to the direction and angle of the placement, the positions of the two windows inside the Star House overlapped with the exterior walls of the entire residential building. Therefore, after the Star House was moved and placed, she found that the originally foggy scene outside the window was replaced by the familiar city scenery.
replaced.
"Is this a real scene?" You Xi was surprised.
[When the Star House windows overlap the exterior walls or windows of the original space, the original obstacles will be ignored and the external scene will be presented.]
It turns out that when the Star House was in her stairwell, because the wall overlapping the window was not an exterior wall, it was foggy when she saw it.
After all the dust settled, You Xi suddenly remembered that after the Star House overlapped with a certain space, she, who was bound to the Star House, would not be able to enter the original space every time she entered this space...
So whether she wanted to take a shower or use the toilet, she had to go to the bathroom upstairs.
The bedtime at night is okay, but when everyone is downstairs during the day, does it make her look particularly crazy?
She reorganized the Star House warehouse while complaining, and then put the items that had been temporarily placed in the Star House into the warehouse one by one. It was not until all the items in the Star House were removed that she discovered that there was an extra door on the wall behind it.
This is the right wall of the star house. The door panel is also light gray. There is no door handle, only a shallow gap. If you don't pay attention, you can't tell that this is actually a door.
She reached out and touched the door. The door opened automatically, revealing a bathroom inside.
The bathroom is not big, about five or six square meters, and is generally curved. It has a matte white brick wall and a black brick floor. In front of the curved wall, there are suspended sinks and mirrors lined up from left to right.
toilet and a glass shower room.
There is also a doorless wall cabinet on the wall to the left of the mirror.
Although everything in this bathroom has extremely simple lines and an almost cold sense of technology, there is no pyrotechnics at all.
But it gave You Xi a great surprise. He could lay out his own mattress on the floor for sleeping, and then put it away when he was active during the day. He could also use an alcohol stove for meals, treating it like a picnic.
Only the most important "big thing" in life cannot be ignored.
She can use the portable toilet when she is alone, but how to solve the problem when her parents are there? Although the 40-square-meter space outside is not small, there is only one space, which is inconvenient many times.
It's okay now. After the upgrade, the Star House has a bathroom and you can also take a shower - wait, take a shower?
Being able to take a shower means there is water. Does the star house have its own water source?
[There is water, one star coin for ten tons of water, you must buy it before you can use it. 】
At this time, it no longer mattered whether the water cost star coins. You Xi suddenly realized a question: "Can this water be drunk?"
[According to the habits of g Blue Star people, it can be done after boiling. 】
You Xi:!!!
The water resource problem will be solved from now on.
Regardless of whether it was black technology or fantasy, at that moment You Xi just wanted to give Xingwu a hug.
She stroked the white frosted wall tiles of the bathroom and silently kissed the cold wall.
【……】
After moving to the star house, You Xi didn't worry even if she didn't sleep at her parents' house at night.
If anything happens, she can teleport back to the star house no matter where she is, and then walk out of the bathroom of her parents' house.
She has been doing the same thing for more than ten days.
Dispose of a little gold in a low-key and scattered manner, and then stock up.
She didn't go to the wholesale market to buy tons of basic grains like rice and flour.
First, she is not a loser...
Secondly, she still doesn’t know whether disasters will continue to happen in her own world, and whether disasters will lead to the end of the world. At present, everything is just her guess. But she has to continue the end-of-the-world mission every month, and the Star House warehouse space
It was limited. She had stocked up on rice and noodles earlier and ate very little. Now there are dozens of 5kg and 10gk bags of rice in the warehouse. Buying these in tons takes up space and is of no great use.
Third, you can bring supplies into the apocalyptic mission, or you can continue to bring supplies out. If one day, her own world becomes the apocalypse, then the reverse operation can be done. After all, things like rice and noodles are available everywhere, and they are easy to stock up.
What she really wants to stock up on are some food and daily necessities with complex craftsmanship.
She had previously stocked up nearly a truckload of various snacks, convenience foods, and frozen meats, so this time, she prioritized daily necessities.
Hand sanitizer, shampoo, shower gel, scented bath salts, laundry detergent, kitchen paper rolls, wet wipes, and alcohol wipes are all purchased online, which is enough for a family of three for two years, at several different outlets.
Purchased, arriving in batches for her small apartment.
There is no need to store purified water for the time being. The water resources are available. In addition, there are still 60 barrels of 19l purified water stored in the Star House warehouse that have not been touched.
The clothes and shoes for the three of them, ranging from hot summer to cold winter to clothes and shoes that can withstand the cold of dozens of degrees below zero, are all purchased online. They are mainly loose, durable and comfortable sportswear. She didn’t buy too many clothes, and they were generally of good quality.
As long as the figure remains the same, it is not a problem to wear these clothes for four or five years. The key lies in their different functions. On the other hand, everyone bought hundreds of disposable cotton underwear, which is easy to replace and does not need to be washed.
Camping tents, sleeping bags, moisture-proof mats, solar lights, a complete set of outdoor picnic tableware and two more sets were purchased online as spares.
She also bought ten sets of hand-fitting self-defense items such as three-section sticks, electric shock batons, and multi-function shovels again, mainly because she was a poor person now and could not buy [high-temperature perfume] and [air hair dryer] as she did before.
, so for small situations that can generally be dealt with, self-defense items that do not cost star coins will suffice.
She and Fan Qi commonly use several brands of facial skin care sets, isolation sunscreen, sanitary napkins and panty liners for day and night use in small quantities... This part is not used much and takes up little space, so she takes photos of it.
Two people have been doing online shopping for three to four years.
You Feng doesn't smoke, but likes to drink red wine. She ordered three to four years' worth of red wine in batches for him online based on his taste.
In this era where everyone loves online shopping and everyone is a shopaholic, something of this size will not attract any attention at all.
To be continued...
