Li Ran entered the wooden house and went into the study room.

She pressed the second button on the right as previously instructed.

In an instant, the wall in front of her became invisible, and a list of information appeared in front of her.

…

Li Ran did not know how much time had passed. She was not paying attention.

Fortunately, she took a look at the time before entering the mysterious space.

When she entered, it was eight o’clock in the morning.

She had already been here for two hours.

Li Ran figured that she might as well spend more time in the space to complete the rest of her tasks.

She reached out her hand and pressed the “Yes” button for processing the duck.

Then, a few options popped up.

[ Roasted / braised / stewed ]

‘Roast duck!’

As soon as she clicked on it, a progress bar appeared.

It was not long before it reached 100%.

Then, she smelled the aroma of a roasted duck. It was coming from outside.

It was very fragrant.

Li Ran eagerly opened the door and went out of the study room.

There was a delicious-looking roasted duck placed on a plate atop the dining table in the kitchen!

However, she did not proceed to eat it.

Instead, she went straight outside.

Li Ran realized that there was indeed one duck missing!

Originally, there were two chickens and one duck.

‘This is amazing.’

She went back into the kitchen, bringing along some lettuce. Li Ran wrapped a piece of the roasted duck with the lettuce and then ate it.

It was delicious!

She took another bite.

After that, she immediately exited the space with the roasted duck in her hand.

She was able to bring the roasted duck to her house.

…

‘This space is really a godsend!’

Wonderful.

Li Ran had been inside the space for approximately two hours. However, when she looked at the time, only twenty minutes had passed.

So ten minutes equals one hour in the mysterious space.

Li Ran put the roast duck away.

‘I’ll eat it later when I’m actually hungry!’

“Hey, be careful!”

Suddenly, a loud sound could be heard from the outside. Li Ran stopped in her tracks.

She opened the curtain a little and took a peep through the gap.

The environment looked nothing like it was from a few days ago.

It only took a day for the virus to spread.

Many people listened to the experts and tried to go to the supermarket to stock up. However, they did not manage to come back alive.

The voice she had earlier was from the residents living downstairs.

Li Ran was not sure which floor it was coming from.

“I only have water. There’s no more food. I’ll share some water with you. Just hang in there.”

“Thank you. I have some instant noodles here. Here, eat them dry. We need to conserve our water supply.”

“Yeah. There’s no way for us to go out to get more.”

“Sigh, I could not even bear to go online. It’s too depressing and suffocating. I wish I could just die right now. I don’t want to live such a bitter life anymore!”

The man sounded angry and the more he spoke, the more agitated he became.

The other person could only sigh.

Li Ran let go of the curtains. She sat on the couch and looked at her phone. Fortunately, the power was not fully cut off.

There were some other places that sustained serious damages such as the circuit. She could only turn on certain lights.

Li Ran went online.

Just as that man said.

It was a mess. She could not look at it even for a second longer.

Everyone was panicking and only thought of saving their own lives!

In just two days, the virus had already killed hundreds of millions!

In the beginning, people were fervently discussing the situation online. Now, nobody even replies anymore.

There were over 10,000 posts.

Some topics focused on survival strategies while others tried to provide help.

“Brother, are you a government official? Do you know how to deal with these infected people? This is driving me crazy. There must be something that I can do…”

“That’s right, how do we protect ourselves? Who should we look for if we need help?! This is all too scary!!!”

“Yeah, why isn’t the government doing anything?”

…

There were many such posts.

Li Ran let out a long sigh. She also felt helpless.
