Luckily we have two bathrooms at home, or Dad would be in trouble!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bai Xiqin felt a bit uneasy. She had replaced the bottled water at home with water from her space and forgot to tell her family.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Don’t you need a shower?\" Bai Xiqin glanced at Bai Yifan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I already did, but I’m not too dirty!\" Bai Yifan spread his hands. \"I showered for ten minutes before Dad pushed me out!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bai Xiqin twitched her lips and silently distanced herself a bit from Bai Yifan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"When you go to Grandpa and Grandma’s, don’t talk randomly!\" Wang Yiyun opened the bathroom door and came out in a bathrobe.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bai Xiqin could see that Wang Yiyun’s skin had improved a lot.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It seems the effect of the Spiritual Spring Water is significant.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Got it!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bai Xiqin and Bai Yifan nodded simultaneously.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The end-of-the-world stuff is too unbelievable for normal people to accept, so the family tacitly decided not to make it public.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Or else, they might get locked up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Mr. and Mrs. Bai already plan to spread the news a few days before the apocalypse, whether people believe it or not is not their problem.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Oh, don’t forget to buy more needles, ones that are hard enough, and get more of them!\" Bai Xiqin whispered, \"Things placed in the space won’t rot; it’s also good to buy more fresh produce to store!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Really?\" Wang Yiyun’s eyes lit up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If things in the space don’t rot, just like a refrigerator, then there’s no fear of storing too many supplies and having them expire.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Really!\" Bai Xiqin nodded affirmatively.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A Space Ability User’s space can perfectly preserve the state of food.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Others’ spaces can’t accommodate people or grow crops, but hers can.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She can sense every plant in her space, even the state of the plants.

I’ll contact a friend about solar generators, we should be able to buy one.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bai Anhai appeared, wearing a bathrobe and drying his hair, from the other bathroom.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"We still don’t have enough money.\" Wang Yiyun sighed, looking at Bai Anhai with longing eyes, \"Isn’t it said that the most profitable businesses are written in the criminal code?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bai Anhai: ...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Why don’t we take a loan!\" Bai Yifan’s eyes gleamed, \"We won’t need to repay it in three months anyway!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Haha, without collateral, how will you get a loan? Unless it’s a high-interest loan!\" Bai Anhai rolled his eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wait, high-interest loan?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I’ve handled several cases of students taking high-interest loans and getting trapped in debt!\" Bai Anhai rubbed his chin, looking at Bai Yifan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bai Yifan silently stepped back and weakly asked, \"Could it be... a fruit loan?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Exactly!\" Bai Anhai patted his shoulder, \"How about giving it a try?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bai Yifan pulled his clothes tightly around himself, rolling his eyes, \"There isn’t a fruit loan for males! Besides, it won’t be much money!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Even flies are meat, no matter how small!\" Bai Xiqin looked at Bai Yifan with a sly glance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"No way! I’d rather starve, or jump off a building, than give up the dignity of a man!\" Bai Yifan declared firmly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Then forget it!\" Bai Xiqin spread her hands, \"We’ll just buy a little less milk powder!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Buy the cheapest one!\" Wang Yiyun said calmly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bai Anhai shrugged his shoulders, \"Why buy at all, just skip it and save some money!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"If we don’t buy, we don’t buy, I’ll raise the money myself!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bai Yifan silently took out his phone to post on his social media.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bai Xiqin glanced at her phone to see Bai Yifan’s post――\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’Lifetime service offering――Pinduoduo knife sharpener, vote for your child, train ticket accelerator, end-of-year fortune swapping, friends’ circle likes and comments, help elementary school classmates fight, ghostwriting...and more, prices negotiable!’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bai Xiqin: ...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After breakfast, Mr. and Mrs. Bai went out together to find a warehouse.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bai Xiqin and Bai Yifan took a short-distance bus to their grandparents’ house in the countryside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Aside from digging up saplings, they also planned to bring their grandparents back home.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The apocalypse brings rampant zombies, and the sparsely populated countryside isn’t the safest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Humans will mutate, animals too, and so will plants.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mutated animals are more formidable than humans; their sharp teeth and countless numbers will cause one disaster after another.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The city isn’t any better; a large number of humans turned into zombies, and if people in the city don’t get out, they won’t survive.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In summary, nowhere is safe, so it’s better for the family to stay together.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bai Zhengxuan and Liu Jing, hearing their grandchildren were coming, waited early at the village entrance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As soon as Bai Xiqin and Bai Yifan got off the bus, they heard their grandma’s loud voice.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Xiao Niu!
