Chapter 4 - Space
Tang Ruo looked at him as he was looking through his ID card and packing up and asked cautiously, “Are you planning to leave like this?”
Does she really not need to bring anything? She feels so unprotected. She will definitely get bitten to death if she goes out…
Bai Qi searched for a handy weapon in the room, looked around, and saw Tang Ruo following him. He didn’t say much, and he turned his head away.
Tang Ruo still followed him closely.
Then, Bai Qi saw the floor lamps on both sides of the bed. The lamp poles were made of metal. He went over to pick up the floor lamp and lifted it, then twisted it to remove the lamp cap and other parts. He used the iron lamp pole for a while and found it quite handy. Turning around, he saw Tang Ruo following behind him.
He frowned but still handed the lamp pole to her: “Take it.”
Does this mean that he can take me with him?
Tang Ruo was delighted and quickly took the lamp pole. She stood obediently and watched Bai Qi twist off another floor lamp in the same way: “We, we don’t need to take these clothes and food with us.” Although she was slow to react and sometimes made mistakes, she was not really stupid. She also knew that society was in chaos and that water, food, and clothes were all precious things.
Bai Qi glanced at her and was a little surprised to see that she was no longer crying. Thinking back, when he first saw this scene three years ago, even though he had awakened his superpowers on the ship at that time, he felt so surprised and scared so quickly.
Bai Qi retracted his gaze and tore a corner of the bed sheet to wrap around the end of the lamp pole so that he could hold it more easily. “We no longer have hand straps. It’s good to be able to save our lives. As long as we have lives, we can find other ways.”
Tang Ruo nodded, looking at the red suitcase at her feet with some reluctance. The suitcase was very large, and in addition to expensive clothes, there were also several bags and pairs of shoes and even a very beautiful and exquisite folding umbrella.
Seeing that Bai Qi was already putting on shoes, she also picked out a pair of low-heeled shoes that were most comfortable for her feet and put them on.
Seeing so many things being abandoned here, Tang Ruo felt a little reluctant. She held the box and sighed, “It would be great if I could just take this box away…”
Then the red box disappeared.
Tang Ruo: “…”
Bai Qi: “…”
Compared to Tang Ruo’s astonishment, Bai Qi, who had spent three years in the apocalypse, was much calmer: “Have you awakened your spatial ability?”
But he clearly remembered that the Tang Ruo he saw at the base in his previous life did not have any awakened superpowers. If she had superpowers, Tang Ruo in his previous life would not have been in such a miserable state.
Then Bai Qi also felt his own special abilities but found that he currently did not have any special abilities.
In his previous life, Bai Qi had an ice-attribute ability, which he awakened on a yacht. At that time, he would have a fever every evening on the yacht. Three days later, he found that he could emit ice crystals from his fingertips. When he came back excitedly and planned to make good use of this ability, he found that the world had changed and there were many people with superpowers.
Tang Ruo didn’t understand at all, but she soon calmed down because her mind kept flashing: Judging from his calm reaction, this is an unscientific world. This may be the “special ability” that the previous owner had. I must not show a reaction that is too stupid, too idiotic, and too rustic to let him see that I am a fake!
So she decided to use a versatile answer to deal with this question: “Hehe…”
She must have traveled to a fantasy world…
Her little heart can’t accept it at all…
Can someone take a look at this manual?
Having been a mortal for more than 20 years, she has no idea about supernatural things…
Bai Qi saw her expression change from dumbfounded to “I understand, I know” and was puzzled: “How big is your space?”
Tang Ruo: “Haha…it shouldn’t be very big…”
Bai Qi: “How big is it if it’s not very big? How much stuff can it hold? How is the flow of time in space measured?”
These are the things Bai Qi must understand. Spatial powers are very important in the early stages of the apocalypse, especially now, because everything is just beginning. It would be best if he could use Tang Ruo’s space to bring enough supplies to settle at the base.
Tang Ruo: “…”
Tang Ruo couldn’t answer any of the questions because she didn’t understand or know anything.
Suddenly, Bai Qi grabbed Tang Ruo and pressed her against the wall. “Who are you?”
Tang Ruo was startled. She pushed the man’s arm away but couldn’t: “You, what do you want to do?”
Killing to silence someone?
Bai Qi’s logic was clear: “Who are you?”
He hadn’t heard Tang Ruo call him by his name until now, and her fear of seeing the zombies and then pretending to be calm were not normal reactions.
Although he had not had much contact with Tang Ruo after the end of the world, even if they had only met a few times before the end of the world, he felt that the real second young lady of the Tang family was not of this kind of personality.
The Tang family has two daughters and one son. The eldest daughter and the youngest son were born to the same woman, and the second daughter, Tang Ruo, was born to another woman. However, the woman who did not give birth to the eldest daughter and the youngest son was Tang Shaotian’s legal wife, so the eldest daughter and the youngest son were both illegitimate children.
Like many scandals involving wealthy families, Tang Ruo’s mother passed away after giving birth to Tang Ruo. Tang’s father remarried, marrying a woman he had been unable to get along with before. She had an older daughter and later gave birth to a younger son. The woman he married later was very scheming. In the eyes of outsiders, she was very kind to Tang Ruo, who was born to Tang’s father’s ex-wife. She was even overly kind to her. As long as Tang Ruo wanted something, she would get it. This made her arrogant and willful, and she lacked a sense of security. She became an extremely disgusting young lady in the eyes of her father and even her relatives.
Bai Qi was also very reluctant to get engaged to Tang Ruo. He himself had only met Tang Ruo a few times, and in his memory, she was always arrogant and conceited. If it weren’t for his grandfather’s last words on the hospital bed, which were to fulfill the agreement between the two families, Bai Qi would definitely not have gone through with such a political marriage.
In his previous life, Tang Ruo ran away from her marriage, and it was said that she had a boyfriend in college who she had been dating for a long time. In this life, she not only obediently completed the engagement party with him but also did not show any arrogance that a young lady should have. Instead, she looked like she was very unfamiliar with this place.
Bai Qi thought, he had lived a new life, could it be that Tang Ruo in front of him had also lived a new life?
But can a person who is reborn after the end of the world still have such clean and pure eyes?
Tang Ruo didn’t know what Bai Qi was thinking at the moment. She thought about it, swallowed her saliva, carefully chose her words, and answered: “I, I am Tang Ruo.”
Bai Qi said: “Well, then what?”
Tang Ruo wanted to cry but had no tears. She raised her hand with the ring on it and pointed at the ring on her hand.
She is his wife. Although she got married without thinking clearly, he couldn’t kill her to silence her on the first day she traveled through time.
