Chapter 201: Yao Ran’s Surprise
Yao Ran and Long Yu went up to the rooftop, where they stayed for an hour, observing the surroundings.
Once they were sure no one was around, they went downstairs. Yao Ran stored the boxes, and the two of them quietly left the building.
Ten minutes later, six men arrived at the office building. The man wearing sunglasses looked around and said, "Damn it! We are too late."
One of the men turned to him and asked, "Brother, what should we do now? If we return empty-handed, I'm afraid..."
He trailed off, but everyone understood what he meant.
The man with sunglasses clenched his fists and asked, "Are you sure Ling Yi came here to make the transaction?"Nôv(el)B\\jnn
The others nodded. "Yes. I overheard him talking to his cousin."
The man could only clench his hands in frustration. After a moment of silence, he said, "He must have known we were following him."
"Should we still follow Yuan Rihui?" Another man asked.
The man in sunglasses sneered, "Of course. We need to find out who his client is and take over the business. Otherwise, we might lose more business in his hands."
Realizing the gravity of the situation, the others nodded and said, "Yes, Brother."
Returning to her apartment, Yao Ran quickly sent her consciousness to her space.
When she saw that the warehouse, farmland, fishpond, and grassland had doubled in size, her jaw dropped in surprise. Besides them, the small villa also expanded. It not only increased in height but also opened up the entire second floor.
On the second floor, there were four bedrooms, each with its own bathroom. There was also a living room, a bar area, and a huge balcony. The ceiling was now double in height, making the villa feel more spacious and bright.
Noticing that the second floor was also equipped with water and electricity, Yao Ran smiled, feeling satisfied. She looked around the villa and saw another staircase leading to the third floor, but she couldn't access it yet, so she decided to check the farmland.
If the expansion of the space had already surprised her, what she saw in the farmland shocked her even more.
The crops she planted ten days ago were already ready for harvest. According to her calculations, she should have had to wait another two months for them to be ready.
Looking at the vast farmland covered by crops, Yao Ran's eyes lit up, and she muttered in realization, "The time flow in the farmland, fishpond, and grassland is really faster than in the outside world. No wonder the crops and animals grow so quickly."
Yao Ran was in deep thought for a while before she began harvesting the crops, slaughtering the animals, and storing everything in her warehouse.
When she finished, she looked at the pile of supplies in her warehouse with mixed feelings. Before the end of the world arrived, she had never known that her space could produce food, so she had stocked up on supplies that could last her for several lifetimes.
Now, with time in her farmland flowing five times faster than in the outside world and the fishpond and grassland three times faster, Yao Ran realized she might soon run out of storage space for her supplies.
As she gazed at the supplies in front of her, she felt both happy and satisfied but also a bit overwhelmed.
After a moment of contemplation, Yao Ran's eyes suddenly lit up. A smile appeared at the corners of her lips as she said, "Maybe I can use these supplies to make Long Yu happy." Having found a solution, Yao Ran withdrew her consciousness from the space. Glancing at the clock on her bedside table, she saw that it was only six o'clock in the evening.
With her decision made, she decided to act immediately. Getting out of bed, Yao Ran put on her jacket and arctic clothing, then went out to find Long Yu.
As Yao Ran knocked on Long Yu's door, her mind was busy planning how to execute her idea. When he opened the door, she grabbed his hand and pulled him inside.
"Long Yu, I need to discuss something with you." She said, pulling him toward his bedroom. Long Yu let her pull him along and asked curiously, "What is it?"
Once inside the warm bedroom, Yao Ran closed the door and asked, "Are you familiar with the area around the military base?"
Long Yu nodded. "Yes. Why are you asking about this?"
Yao Ran pulled him to sit down on the carpeted floor, then sat in front of him and explained, "I just discovered that after I sent the antiques into my space today, the time flow in my farmland, fishpond, and grassland is faster than outside."
Hearing this, Long Yu fell silent for a moment before asking, "You mean... you can produce more food?"
Yao Ran nodded, "Yes. I just harvested another batch of crops, collected half of the fish and seafood from the fishpond, and half of the livestock from my animal farm."
"I even filled up a few shelves with eggs and dairy products. I can also harvest crops once a month and livestock, fish, and seafood once every two months. If I don't start using the supplies, I will run out of storage space soon."
After listening to her explanation, Long Yu asked, "What do you want me to do?"
Yao Ran smiled and asked him back, "Would you like to give some of the supplies to your brothers in the military?"
Long Yu was stunned. He stared at her for a moment before asking, "You want to give them to my brothers?"
Yao Ran nodded, "Even though I have my doubts about the relationship between the government, the military, and The Ark, most of the soldiers are innocent."
"From what I've observed lately, it seems the government is running low on supplies. With their current production, I don't think they will be able to support all the survivors in Juncheng City. Instead of letting the supplies go to waste in my space, why don't we use them to help your brothers?"
