Chapter 119: Chapter 118: Her Space is Extraordinarily Unique
Seeing signs of unrest breaking out across the country, it was uncertain whether she could still retrieve her belongings after so ti.
Resting her hand on her forehead, her head ached.
Why did the space ring have to break right at this critical mont?
She had tried dozens of tis to access it, but not once could she succeed, nearly driving her to smash the ring with a hamr in frustration.
All her belongings were inside, and if the space ring really was broken, what would she do?
She had to prepare for the worst, not knowing what exactly was wrong with her space, but with the Apocalypse on the horizon, she could not just sit back and do nothing.
...
In her previous life, she had survived without a space ring.
This ti, no matter what, she would still do her utmost to protect Xiao’ai and to live on.
Currently, her biggest dilemma was that all her savings were stuck in the space ring; she only had so small change for ergencies left in a drawer at ho from before.
Not much, just about ten thousand yuan.
This amount was enough to cover living expenses for a few days.
However, this amount was definitely not sufficient to prepare for anything that might co after the Apocalypse.
She listed all the cheap yet valuable post-apocalypse items she could think of on a piece of paper, such as candles, alcohol, and solid fuel — items cheap now but that would be highly useful in the early days of the Apocalypse.
She needed to purchase so, as if the space remained inoperable, she couldn’t use the items inside it anyway.
At least initially, she could use these small items to barter or make things go smoothly.
After returning from the earthquake at Peng Mountain, Su Shu had one overwhelming thought.
It’s not enough! Her supplies were far from sufficient, especially dicines!
While in Peng Village, she consistently reminded herself to stock up on dicines when she got back to City C, by any ans necessary.
But who could have anticipated the very space ring she relied on would strike a devastating blow?
Could it be a harsh reminder from fate? That she shouldn’t rely completely on the space ring?
Damn!
Wasn’t the space ring ant to be relied upon?
What, was she supposed to worship it now?
Su Shu was dejected.
She had anticipated all kinds of difficulties, yet it was the space ring’s failure at this crucial ti that truly infuriated her.
It had swallowed all her belongings, and now it was playing dead?
Xiao’ai curiously watched her aunt trying to boil the ring after chewing on a strawberry.
Xiao’ai: “Uh…”
After a while, she put it into the freezer for a bit and then took it out again.
Xiao’ai: “Uh…”
Late on, Su Shu racked her brain trying all sorts of thods for the ring, short of smashing it to pieces with a hamr.
However, the space ring remained coldly indifferent.
Damn it!
Su Shu lost it; her space ring had gobbled up all her belongings!
Spit it out! Spit it out now!
Much later, as the ring lay on a piece of white paper, Su Shu glared at it, and suddenly a bizarre idea crossed her mind.
Maybe… she should try cutting herself a little?
“Xiao’ai, sit nicely and draw. Auntie will go to the restroom for a while. Don’t worry,” she said.
Xiao’ai nodded, returning to her drawing of an “animal zoo.”
Holding the ring, Su Shu took a small fruit knife into the bathroom. Facing the mirror, she saw a woman poised with a knife over her finger, a troubled look on her face.
The reflection seed sinister no matter how one looked at it.
She had truly gone mad.
She had actually thought of a Blood Oath of Ownership.
She had tried every possible way and the space hadn’t shown the slightest response. It was a desperate shot in the dark now.
Without the space, she was not incapable of surviving, but she clearly had it—why should she endure such hardship?
If you had told her you’d occasionally strike and malfunction, why would she have used you!
She hesitated, then applied a bit of pressure with the blade.
Bright red blood instantly flowed out.
The blood dripped onto the immobile Ink Jade Ring.
Red enveloped the luminous green, Su Shu watched eagerly, her heart pounding loudly, barely daring to breathe.
