Apocalypse Escape: Day One of Survival

She could now be completely certain that as her Gold Ability advanced to the Initial Stage, her Space Ability had improved along with it.

Xie Ning quickly switched her view back to the villa area to take a closer look.

With just one look, her heart started to pound wildly.

The connecting glass door between the living room and dining room was now open. She could actually see the furniture and everything else in the dining room.

The flower-shaped chandelier was on, its soft light falling on the round rosewood table and matching chairs.

The small lamp on the sideboard was lit.

All sorts of alcoholic beverages were on the wine rack in the display cabinet.

On the small bar by the stairs, a coffee machine and tea set sat quietly, everything in its place.

But when her gaze tried to follow the corner staircase upward, it was blocked.

’So, does this mean that as my Space Ability advances again in the future, other areas of our family villa will also open up? Like the upstairs bedrooms and study, or the kitchen and bathrooms, or even the courtyard and lawn outside?’

’Could it be just as I’m thinking??’

Xie Ning was so overwhelmed with emotion for a moment that she didn’t know how to tell her mom.

”Ningning?” Song You’ai stared nervously at her silent, dazed daughter. ”Wh-what is it?”

Xie Ning snapped out of it and did her best to calm her turbulent emotions. ”I-I was just a little too surprised, that’s all. I’m fine.”

She had thought her little Space would never upgrade or expand; after all, in her past life, it had been completely static, as if it were welded shut.

Then, she realized another very important issue.

The lights!

Her short-circuited brain finally got back on track.

The lights in the dining room were actually on!

She hadn’t noticed if the lights in the villa’s living room were on before. It was only seeing the colorful lights on the display cabinet that made her suddenly realize.

’My villa actually has electricity?’

’This is too amazing!’

Xie Ning tried turning off the lights in the dining room, and the room went dark.

Then Xie Ning experimented further and discovered something: she couldn’t move items into the dining room when it was dark. She could only do so with the lights on.

’Oh my god, this means I have another fifty-square-meter storage space in the form of a dining room.’

”I should be able to store a lot more now,” Xie Ning said, grasping her mother’s hand, her big eyes sparkling.

”My daughter is amazing.” Song You’ai was also incredibly excited, squeezing her daughter’s hand and praising her with a happy laugh.

The two of them quickly ran ahead a bit, putting some distance between themselves and the others.

Only then did Xie Ning begin loading boxes of instant noodles into her small Space.

’But I can’t call it a small Space anymore. It’s not small at all now. I should give it a new name... I’ll call it an Independent Space.’

The one thing an instant noodle factory wasn’t short on was raw materials like beef, mutton, pork, vegetables, flour, palm oil, and seasonings.

Xie Ning pulled her mother to the raw materials area and loaded about two hundred boxes of supplies, which only filled up a third of her Space.

Her Independent Space had gotten taller!

Song You’ai followed beside Xie Ning, beaming, acting as a lookout while she said, ”There’s still a lot of instant noodle stock over there. Wouldn’t it be a waste not to take it?”

”Yeah, let’s grab more.” Her Independent Space was in stasis; food stored inside wouldn’t spoil at all.

Left in the warehouse, it would all be useless in a year or two, which would be a real shame.

”Our Ningning is so capable,” Song You’ai said, poking her head out from behind a shelf. She quickly added, ”Annie and the others are coming, Ningning.”

Xie Ning finished storing the last few boxes of instant noodles at her feet and stopped.

Annie and her group were each carrying three boxes of instant noodles, panting heavily as they walked.
