Liu Ruyan stared at Zhang Yuan. "Why are you pinching me?"
Zhang Yuan had a serious expression on his face, with an inquisitive look. He deliberately pinched her cheek again.
"Your face is fair, tender, and chubby. I've always been curious about how it would feel to pinch it, and now I finally know."
Liu Ruyan blinked. "What does it feel like?"
"The texture is as smooth as jelly, and it's soft, like marshmallow.
The feeling of pinching it is as good as I imagined!"
Liu Ruyan looked at Zhang Yuan, and her eyes gradually became more complex.
Why did he have to smack his lips while talking?
And why were all those descriptions related to food?
Before Liu Ruyan could break free, Zhang Yuan let go of his hand and pointed at the giant brick on the ground. "Are you planning to make me carry this?"
Liu Ruyan snorted. "If you can carry it, you can carry it!"
Even as she said this, Liu Ruyan still covered the lid again and then said, "Overall, this is a weapon... right? Try to see if you can put it into the weapon space."
Zhang Yuan also became serious, nodded earnestly, and tried to put this oversized brick into the space.
To their surprise... it actually worked!
Looking at the oversized brick that had disappeared, Liu Ruyan and Zhang Yuan both looked at each other in pleasant surprise, and the sense of joy was self - evident.
At this moment, Zhang Yuan was like a child, taking out and putting in the oversized brick, repeating this action many times.
After playing for a while, when he finally got tired of it, Zhang Yuan looked at Liu Ruyan. "You're so smart. I didn't even think of this method."
Liu Ruyan shook her head. "It's not that you couldn't think of it, but that you didn't even consider it in this direction."
Although Liu Ruyan couldn't imagine what kind of life Zhang Yuan had lived in the interstellar era, she was sure that he never had to worry about food and drink.
Since he didn't have to worry about basic necessities, of course, the weapon space was only used to store weapons. Why would he think about putting other things in it?
It was just that the situation was different now, so Liu Ruyan thought of these things.
"I just gave it a try with this one. I wasn't sure if it would work. Now that it has succeeded, we can order a few more. Then we can store more things."
Speaking of this, Liu Ruyan suddenly thought of a question. "By the way, how big is your weapon space? Can it hold these?"
Zhang Yuan thought carefully. "I've never really paid attention to how big it is. I think it should be no problem to put the entire base in it."
Liu Ruyan exclaimed, "!!! Then we should quickly ask Captain Kong to customize some!"
"No need!" Zhang Yuan stopped Liu Ruyan. "Captain Kong is trustworthy, but he can't make this. He still has to ask others to do it. The more people know, the more likely someone will be curious and try to find out what we need these for. It's better not to ask him."
"What you said makes sense. But if not him, then who?"
"Find people from the interstellar side. They can not only make super - large bricks but also make other weapons hollow."
Liu Ruyan imagined that scene. "Then what's the difference between the finished product and a brick?
But that doesn't matter. As long as it works.
After it's done, we can put some of your clothes and luggage in it. It will be much more convenient when we're out. We can also store more food.
Can't your space keep things fresh?
If it can, we can also put some cooked food for you."
Seeing Liu Ruyan's slightly regretful look, Zhang Yuan smiled and pinched her cheek. "It's already very good like this. There's no need to feel regretful."
Liu Ruyan nodded. "I know."
It's not right to be too greedy.
Zhang Yuan was a bit curious. "Why do you always say 'when we're out'? Do you want to go out? Are you getting bored after staying at home for so long?"
"No!" Liu Ruyan shook her head. When she looked at Zhang Yuan, there was a hint of confusion in her eyes. "Haven't I told you that I was reborn?"
Zhang Yuan was puzzled. "??? No, you haven't!"
"Maybe I forgot.
In fact, I've already experienced the end of the world once. In my previous life, I lived until the tenth year of the apocalypse. At that time, disasters were still happening continuously. I died in the acid rain.
When I opened my eyes again, I found that I was reborn. At that time, there were still three months until the end of the world.
I found a space in a family heirloom, spent all my money, and bought various supplies to store in the space."
Liu Ruyan finished speaking in one breath, waiting for Zhang Yuan's reaction.
It took Zhang Yuan a while to react. The first question he asked was, "Did you know me in your previous life?"
"No. In my previous life, I moved around in some small bases.
At that time, I didn't have so many supplies, no car, no fuel, and I couldn't go to farther places. I was just struggling to survive."
Zhang Yuan rubbed Liu Ruyan's head. "Maybe in your previous life, I didn't even come here.
You were reborn, and I came here. We happened to meet. Everything is just right."
"You're right. Everything is just right!"
After having the New Year's Eve dinner, life became calm again.
Liu Ruyan and Zhang Yuan planted Snow Fruits again.
This time, they didn't plan to sell them but only to store them in the space and eat them slowly in the future.
In the ten - year apocalypse that Liu Ruyan knew about, such extremely cold weather only lasted for these two years.
If the living environment for Snow Fruits is dozens of degrees below zero, then after the extreme cold ends, ordinary people probably won't be able to plant Snow Fruits anymore.
Snow Fruits are rich in nutritional value and taste good.
Taking advantage of the fact that they can be planted now, the two decided not to leave the soil idle for a single day. As soon as one batch was harvested, they would plant the next batch.
The quantity harvested each time was not exactly the same, but it was not too different either, around twelve thousand.
Fortunately, the Snow Fruits were not big. Even if there were more than a hundred thousand, they wouldn't take up too much space.
After harvesting the last batch of Snow Fruits, Liu Ruyan put all the logistics boxes into the space.
Snow Fruits couldn't be planted in the future, but the soil could be kept. It might be used to plant other things later.
As the day of the earthquake approached, Liu Ruyan and Zhang Yuan were constantly making preparations.
One day before the earthquake, the temperature would rise from dozens of degrees below zero to more than ten degrees above zero.
Compared with the devastating earthquake, the temperature recovery could be considered good news.
At first, Liu Ruyan hesitated whether to find a way to tell the base about the earthquake.
Zhang Yuan had more contact with Kong Rui and naturally knew more news.
Zhang Yuan said that the base had already predicted the earthquake and was making various preparations.
Knowing that the base was already prepared, Liu Ruyan felt much more at ease.
