Back to the Apocalypse

Chapter 10: Unforeseen Event

To his delight, this space was really odd. When the pond water was filled, the stream was still flowing, but the spring did not run out. As the water did not overflow the pond, he did not know where the spring water flowed to.

But since the outbreak, strange things appeared more and more. Bai Jing was only surprised for a moment, then he pleasantly accepted it. He did not want to go after the heart of the matter, either, otherwise, he would have had a lot of things to understand.　

He then dug a larger and deeper pond on the other side of the space covering an area of 400 square meters, which was double the size of the other pond. He tried to put some sea water in it. If the seawater did not go bad, he intended to raise some seafood. 　

As for that two acres of land, he planted some of the commonly used herbs, also planted a little bit of precious medicinal herbs. The herbs' area was very small. Before the hidden dimension had advanced a rank, he thought this would be it. And three acres of land were left; one field had planted on it a variety of fruit trees, one of vegetables, and the remaining acre was kept for the house. In the excess places, he planted some flowers, or some seasonings, and where there was spare space left, that became a small courtyard.　

Bai Jing was pleased. Although he only completed less than half of his plan, looking at the sprouts of vegetables exposed inside the fences, the grass gradually growing taller, he felt as if there was beauty before his eyes. The growing stalks were increasingly more interesting. 　

But sometimes, the idea was always more cruel than the reality.　

A week after leaving H City, this day, Bai Jing had just come out from the gym, having finished a shower and everyday essential things to do, he used his psychic power to explore the space, seeing the grass and vegetables thrive, even the herb heads sprout, he couldn't feel more happy. Deciding to buy a few animals back to raise so that space was also lively, to add a little bit of energy.　

He first went to the farmers market and bought two roosters and six hens. Because he did not have many things, he had the people put the chickens in the car, intending to put them into the dimension, and then went to another store to buy a duck. When the vendor saw the car, his tongue just froze, and then seeing the luxurious furnishings, his stiff hands did not know where to put them. His appearance carrying a chicken was alarmed and helpless. It was such a good car, such a clean and luxurious interior, and when he thought of the chicken staying inside, even if it was not his car, he felt distressed for fear of dirtying it.

Bai Jing's eyes darkened. He had not thought things through as it seemed that ducks could not be bought here. His car was very conspicuous; he was conscious of that. Prior to purchasing the materials, people would consider him as a really rich second generation. But buying chickens, ducks and fish, it attracted too much attention, giving a sense of eccentricity as well as being eye-catching.

After the vendor left, Bai Jing drove the car to a remote area and opened the compartment, wanting to send the chickens into the dimension. 　

Huh? No movement!　

Try again! Still no movement!　

Bai Jing's face was shocked white. Suddenly remembering, in his previous life, besides himself, it seemed other living beings could never get into the dimension. In his previous life he did not trust humans, not to mention animals, so that he would not get any mutant creatures into the hidden dimension; he was not that crazy.　

Bai Jing's heart sank. Then, what was to happen to the plan he had previously laid out. If there were no animals, he needed to buy more fresh meat, so the land had to be rearranged.　

Looking around, Bai Jing did not give the chicken another thought, throwing it directly to the roadside. He stepped on the gas pedal, speeding to leave, only feeling his heart tighten heavily.　

No, do not panic, there must be something else you had not thought of. Even if he had to buy more fresh meat, that was no big deal. Bai Jing set his mind, looking for a quiet space to think. If the dimension could not keep animals, his plan was useless; he must not panic.　

Suddenly, Bai Jing's mind moved, his eyes lit up. He was chagrined to remember even he himself could not enter the dimension currently. It was not strange then that animals could not go in, either.　

It must be like that, Bai Jing kept telling himself, feeling slightly relieved. It seemed he needed to increase his psychic power as soon as possible. He also needed to store more meat, for he needed to be prepared for all contingencies.　

At least he can harvest food, plant herbs, and lay down a home. There were clean springs that could be drunk from. In fact, compared to his previous life, it was a lot better. He should know contentment, as what belonged to him was his.　

With such a thought, Bai Jing calmed down. He had lived through all kinds of consequences in his previous life. However, losing some rations would not starve him.
