Chapter 9 (1/2)

In the middle of their stop-and-go trip, they arrived at the first large scale intermediate level city, H City. Close to famous tourist attractions, there were several very well known food factories, and Bai Jing intended to stay here a few days. Those towns where they had stopped to buy food, vegetables, agricultural supplies, and daily necessities were perhaps convenient and cheap, but to buy fence, electrical and the like, he had to come to the big cities.

Although he bought a lot of things on the road, the items only occupied an area less than 300 square meters in the dimension. To be honest, he was both happy and discouraged. Happy that the large dimension could contain so many things, but discouraged that with so much s.p.a.ce, when would this ever be filled!

Storage s.p.a.ce and farming s.p.a.ce was different. Storage s.p.a.ce could be superimposed according to the volume of items. With eight acres of storage s.p.a.ce twenty meters high, Bai Jing felt he really needed to load to capacity the storage s.p.a.ce. In fact, even if he did not farm, there was enough to eat for a lifetime.

But this was just a thought, and more preparations were always welcome.  And his heart held a faint hope that the apocalypse could quickly end, even if those things he bought in such enormous quant.i.ties that he probably would never get to use them, he still persisted to purchase them. However, would the apocalypse ever be over…

Bai Jing's heart could not be sure. In the final periods of his previous life, although he was in the Inst.i.tute, from the att.i.tude of the researchers, he could see how the severe the developments were. They had to face against more and more powerful and countless zombies, monsters, mutated animals, plants…1

Was there really room for human survival?

”Young master, we've arrived.”

Cao Lei then interrupted his thoughts, and Bai Jing gave a self-deprecating smile. And what he was thinking about was that in this life, he had been picked up, tried, struggled, and if died, then if he could die together with Xiao Sa, he thought he should be satisfied. Xiao Sa certainly will not live together with him in the hidden-dimension, and when it came time to die, he would die. To Bai Jing, it did not matter.

Just giving up without trying, then, was impossible!

Even if there was only a glimmer of opportunity, he and Xiao together would work hard, trying hard to live!

“You go book our rooms first. I'm going to look around.” Bai Jing thought to this point, not wanting to delay for a moment to get rid of these two and went directly to the building materials market.  The purchase of the fence must be as soon as possible. The encountered several fence sellers in the small towns they stopped at also, but he was not very satisfied. The style was neither good-looking nor strong, and if put to order, you would need more than a week. The shortest time to receive should be five days. Anyways, he intended to stay in H city for a few days more, and to the building materials market the sooner,  the better. If not, preordering would be fine.

w.a.n.g Xuebing and Cao Lei were not surprised, for H City was but a tourist destination. Cao Lei made plans at once of where he wanted to go have fun.

With the young master's changes in behavior, w.a.n.g Xuebing could not help but feel some worry. The changes were too fast, faster than people could respond, and until now, he could not understand how the young master found him during his tail.  Since that day, July 31, the young master was not the same. The indifference and cold hidden in his eyes, coldly on the sidelines and ignoring the whole world, he was definitely not pretending. Looking at such a young master gave him illusions of seeing someone elderly dying. One person without any major changes, yet w.a.n.g Xuebing really could not think of any kind of reason that let the young master with such a arrogance, stubbornness, born unhappy with a taste of royalty, change so quickly and drastically!

Moreover, he also did not know if this was an illusion, but he always found young master treat him somewhat differently. w.a.n.g Xuebing could not recall whatever would be the cause for this special concern. Did the young master know his good character, thought he looked handsome and so held interest In him?

w.a.n.g Xuebing patted his cheek and could not help but cast himself aside. Slightly flushed, he could not help but think of that day, the young master's appearance after the shower. What a f.u.c.king temptation, this was simply a crime. But the young master was straight; he was very clear on that.

Cao Lei's face was black. Seeing his expression change to and fro, his face with a slightly coquettish look, Cao's eyes began to flash a curious light. Showing a touch of devilish color, it looked devilish, dangerous and had a heart-stirring charm. A voice filled with magnetism slowly arose: “What do you want, huh?”

“No, nothing.” w.a.n.g Xuebing trembled without tears. He really did not put much into thinking. Everyone had a beautiful hear, and he was only appreciating it…

“Huh!” Cao Lei raised his eyebrows. With a faint smile, he glanced at him, turned, and walked to the hotel reception, leaving only two words in his ear: “Open room.”

w.a.n.g Xuebing quickly followed, his expression unclear. What does he mean?

Bai Jing first rented a warehouse and then came to the building materials market.  Although the fence shop had not yet been located, he felt awestruck just by browsing. Looking at a variety of building materials, his heart could not help but to mock the difficulty of choosing.  That would be nice if he could have a house in his s.p.a.ce. He would make the layout warm and appropriate so that returning to the s.p.a.ce would feel like returning home.

“Sir, h.e.l.lo, may I ask what you need?” A salesman with sharp senses saw Bai Jing dressed in that style. Even if he did not look old, he would not be neglected.

Bai Jing shook his head, eyes filled with dismay. In the case of these materials, he was able to see they could not be used. Even after he met with Xiao Sa, Xiao Sa himself did not know how to build a house! The hidden-dimension was to be confidential so he could not find someone to help repair things. Even after the outbreak and the beginning of a new life, something less prominent was easy to cover up. Coming up with these good materials, a house was the most eye-catching of signs. Tall trees catch much wind, don't show all your cards, he understood these, and in his previous life, it did happen, did it not?

The salesman saw his mind changing, but continued to lobby: “Sir, what is the hesitation? We are the largest building materials market supplier in H city. We can give you some suggestions, and we also do remodeling and can also help you design the style you love. Feel free to take a look.”

“I want a house.” Bai Jing said dryly.

The salesman went blank, puzzled. Was it possible he had not bought a house yet, but that did not seem to be the case. Smiling, he asked: ” Can you say a little more? We will try to meet your requirements here.”

Bai Jing was free at the moment, and he was now at the building materials market, anyways. The fence was not pressing at this time, and he also kept a faint hope, explaining, “I want a simulated physical house. Do not build the foundation, but it needs to be strong and durable, suitable to live in. Water, electricity, and sewer pipes all need to be completed, but also comfortable inside with decorations, a living room, bedrooms, bathrooms, and kitchen. In short, it is a two-story cottage … …” Bai Jing said. His request seemed a bit high. He turned things over in his mind and said: “If it is not possible, two rooms and one living room can suffice.

The salesman looked shocked. This, this, what kind of person was this this his head did not break. Could it be he just had extra money he could not spend? But the customer is G.o.d, and what Bai Jing said excited him.  These were a lot of materials, and his commission this year will be enough with this one. Where there is a will, there is a way.

“May I ask this gentleman to wait? I'm going to get the manager.”

Bai Jing was surprised for a moment and nodded, for he did not expect it really could be done.

Before long, the manager came out. He was a man about forty, slightly fat, middle-aged with a potbelly where his body particularly protruded. His eyes shone with a twinkle, and gently smiling, he knew with a look that this one was difficult to catch.

He quietly looked at Bai Jing and smiled. He said: ” Is this the gentleman that needs to build a physical house?
