Chapter 2
Heirloom Treasure
Suddenly, something unexpected happened!
As soon as the drop of blood landed on the jade pendant, it disappeared, as if it had been absorbed by the jade pendant.
The color of the jade pendant gradually deepened after absorbing the drop of blood. It now contained a tinge of red.
When the color of the jade pendant turned black-red, golden light flashed, and the jade pendant disappeared.
The wound on her fingertip, along with the drying blood, also disappeared.
Were it not for the faint sensation of pain on her fingertip, Du Yue would have suspected that everything that had just happened in front of her was an illusion.
At the same time, an image appeared in Du Yue’s mind. Within that image was a huge space with white mist lingering above it. There was nothing under the mist.
Du Yue remained motionless, but her consciousness entered the space. She could clearly see and sense every corner of the space, and she could even measure the size of the space with her consciousness.
The space was about ten meters high, and covered an area that was almost as large as ten school sports fields.
Du Yue glanced at the acupuncture needle in her hand. Moments later, the acupuncture needle in her hand disappeared, and an identical acupuncture needle appeared out of thin air in the space, which she quietly placed in the corner.
Du Yue was startled, but put aside her happiness. She could not wait to try it again. This time, the acupuncture needle appeared in her hand again, intact.
Du Yue used different items to experiment before finally allowing herself to relax.
So what mother said was true!
Her ordinary-looking jade pendant keepsake really contained a space within it!
Her storage worries were resolved!
In fact, now she was worried about whether she could even gather enough supplies to fill this space.
Du Yue’s thoughts were interrupted by her growling stomach, so she walked to the kitchen and opened the refrigerator door. Seeing the packed foods and fruits inside, her heart relaxed a little..
She quickly grabbed some ready-made meals, unpackaged them, then gobbled them down.
In an apocalyptic world, it was common for one to go without food for several days.
In the past two years, in order to survive, Du Yue had gnawed on soil, flowers, and even tree bark.
Now, finally tasting normal food, Du Yue was so excited that she almost cried. The milky cake, the spicy and refreshing barbecued meat, and the crisp and juicy fruits, all of it made Du Yue happy to be alive.
She closed her eyes and took a deep breath while forcing her tears back.
She did not have time!
Every minute and second was of utmost importance to her now. She had to quickly finish her meal and get down to business.
Du Yue only stopped eating when she could no longer swallow any more food.
Looking at the grapes that she had yet to eat, Du Yue decided to try another experiment. She immediately placed the grapes into the storage space. She needed to verify if the space had the ability to keep food fresh so that she could plan what types of food supplies to buy.
After eating and drinking to her heart’s content, Du Yue immediately got to work. She went back to her bedroom to find her tablet. She created a new blank document on her tablet and began to make plans for the supplies she wanted to buy.
Today was Children’s Day, which was between late spring and early summer. The temperature outside was quite moderate and comfortable.
However, such comfortable days would not last long. In less than a week, the temperature would start to increase significantly. At the beginning, people mistook this for the seasonal change to summer and ignored the changes.
The temperature increase continued until National Day without any signs of slowing. At this point, everyone had become starkly aware of the difference.
It was also at that time that people realized that, in this city known as the water city, there had not been a single drop of rain throughout the entire summer.
