nLi Ran entered the wooden house and went into the study room.
nShe pressed the second button on the right as previously instructed.
n
n
n
nIn an instant, the wall in front of her became invisible, and a list of information appeared in front of her.

nLi Ran did not know how much time had passed. She was not paying attention.
nFortunately, she took a look at the time before entering the mysterious space.
nWhen she entered, it was eight o’clock in the morning.
n
n
nShe had already been here for two hours.
nLi Ran figured that she might as well spend more time in the space to complete the rest of her tasks.
nShe reached out her hand and pressed the “Yes” button for processing the duck.
nThen, a few options popped up.
n Roasted
/ braised
/ stewed
n‘Roast duck!’
nAs soon as she clicked on it, a progress bar appeared.
nIt was not long before it reached 100%.
n
n
nThen, she smelled the aroma of a roasted duck. It was coming from outside.
nIt was very fragrant.
nLi Ran eagerly opened the door and went out of the study room.
nThere was a delicious-looking roasted duck placed on a plate atop the dining table in the kitchen!
nHowever, she did not proceed to eat it.
nInstead, she went straight outside.
nLi Ran realized that there was indeed one duck missing!
nOriginally, there were two chickens and one duck.
n‘This is amazing.’
nShe 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.
nIt was delicious!
nShe took another bite.
nAfter that, she immediately exited the space with the roasted duck in her hand.
n
n
nShe was able to bring the roasted duck to her house.
n…
n‘This space is really a godsend!’
nWonderful.
nLi Ran had been inside the space for approximately two hours. However, when she looked at the time, only twenty minutes had passed.
nSo ten minutes equals one hour in the mysterious space.
nLi Ran put the roast duck away.
n‘I’ll eat it later when I’m actually hungry!’
n“Hey, be careful!”
nSuddenly, a loud sound could be heard from the outside. Li Ran stopped in her tracks.
nShe opened the curtain a little and took a peep through the gap.
nThe environment looked nothing like it was from a few days ago.
nIt only took a day for the virus to spread.
nMany people listened to the experts and tried to go to the supermarket to stock up. However, they did not manage to come back alive.
nThe voice she had earlier was from the residents living downstairs.
nLi Ran was not sure which floor it was coming from.
n“I only have water. There’s no more food. I’ll share some water with you. Just hang in there.”
n“Thank you. I have some instant noodles here. Here, eat them dry. We need to conserve our water supply.”
n“Yeah. There’s no way for us to go out to get more.”
n“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!”
nThe man sounded angry and the more he spoke, the more agitated he became.
nThe other person could only sigh.
nLi Ran let go of the curtains. She sat on the couch and looked at her phone. Fortunately, the power was not fully cut off.
nThere were some other places that sustained serious damages such as the circuit. She could only turn on certain lights.
nLi Ran went online.
nJust as that man said.
nIt was a mess. She could not look at it even for a second longer.
nEveryone was panicking and only thought of saving their own lives!
nIn just two days, the virus had already killed hundreds of millions!
nIn the beginning, people were fervently discussing the situation online. Now, nobody even replies anymore.
nThere were over 10,000 posts.
nSome topics focused on survival strategies while others tried to provide help.
n“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…”
n“That’s right, how do we protect ourselves? Who should we look for if we need help?! This is all too scary!!!”
n“Yeah, why isn’t the government doing anything?”
n…
nThere were many such posts.
nLi Ran let out a long sigh. She also felt helpless.
