Qi Qing's home is on the sixth floor, the two bedrooms and the living room are facing south, in the early years, the balcony was closed for fear of cold, and in the normal winter of previous years, when the sun was shining when the weather was good, the balcony became a warm house, which was more comfortable than the outside.

However, in the dream, since late April, the outdoor temperature in S City has averaged minus 30 degrees. The power system is interrupted, and it is difficult to heat the air conditioner or electric heater that normally relies on electricity. Most of the buildings are also different from the buildings that pay attention to thermal insulation in the north, the wall is thin and the insulation layer is also very thin, the temperature difference between indoor and outdoor is very small, and even the indoor is cold, it is better to be able to get the sun outdoors, and the pipeline has no thermal insulation protection, and the temperature drops sharply for a long time and it is easy to freeze and crack and be damaged.

Her family's house itself is not tolerant of cold or heat. Even if you start decorating right now and add insulation and heating equipment, how useful can you use just to keep your own home warm in the building? You can't be alone in a catastrophe.

"Mom, we might as well sell the house and move somewhere else." Qi Qing made this suggestion after thinking about it carefully.

To be honest, Du Ruying was not happy to hear this suggestion at first glance. This is the home where she has lived for nearly 20 years, when her wife was alive, the two supported each other to take care of their daughter to grow up, the wife was gone, and the house was full of memories of a family of three. She was reluctant to be familiar with the surroundings and those beautiful scenes.

Their house is a high-quality school district house in the city center, and now the second-hand house is more than 100,000 square meters, with a total price of more than 10 million. At the beginning, the mother wanted her daughter to get married and start a family, give birth to a child, go to the household registration here, and enter a key school.

It's a pity that the plan can't catch up with the changes, the daughter broke up with her boyfriend, and natural disasters are very likely to strike in reality one after another like in a dream. In this situation, what is the point of sticking to this kind of school district house?

Regarding the prophetic dream, Du Ruying knows more than her daughter. She usually pretends not to believe in those strange things to make her daughter pay more attention to reality, but this does not hide her daughter's growing ability.

After giving birth, most of the women in the clan will indeed lose the ability to predict dreams, but their family's ability has been the strongest since ancient times, and if they don't give birth many times, they will still retain some of the ability to predict dreams.

Du Ruying's generation firmly implemented the one-child policy, and only Qi Qing, the only daughter. Therefore, the natural disaster dream at noon made her unable to ignore it. It must be her life, otherwise she wouldn't have dreamed so clearly.

"I'll think about it." Du Ruying didn't say anything right away, "After selling the house, do you have a goal?" We're definitely going to have to find a place to live. Did you find any feng shui treasures in your dreams that could have avoided those disasters? ”

Qi Qing said: "There is a place that may be possible, you also took me to it when I was a child, that is, your hometown, that military factory in the deep mountains." ”

It was abandoned more than 40 years ago, but in its heyday, tens of thousands of people lived in the factory, not only factories, dormitories, auditoriums, canteens and shops, but also sports fields and cinemas, and even nurseries and compulsory education schools. The daughter suddenly mentioned this at this time, Du Ruying nodded thoughtfully, but did not continue the topic.

Qi Qing knew that her mother would carefully weigh the pros and cons when she said that she would consider it. Next, it was time for her to look for the two boxes of candy that had suddenly disappeared.

Pretending to go back to the bedroom to rest, Qi Qing spread out the yoga mat, crossed her knees and closed her eyes and began to meditate. When her mind is chaotic or her body is tired, she meditates like this. This is what his father taught him, what is the family heirloom method of health preservation, in fact, she thinks this is the method of breathing, breathing, and meditation.

She was in a state of relaxation and self-forgetfulness, the colors around her and even the sense of space dissipated, and she felt as if she was sitting in a place of nothingness.

Her eyes were closed, but she could "see" her surroundings clearly, as if her mind had captured the substance and gradually formed in her mind.

In front of her appeared a translucent box, about 50 centimeters square, in which lay the two boxes of candy souvenirs.

What is this place? She asked with her thoughts.

Unexpectedly, an unfamiliar voice immediately appeared in her head, and replied, "The host has completed the full activation of the personal binding space. The space is only bound to the host consciousness, and when the host consciousness disappears and the body dies, the space and its contents will also be annihilated, unless there is a special circumstance that may be acquired and inherited by others. ”

"This is my space?" Qi Qing's heart was beating faster. If natural disasters are destined to come, having a space to carry around is definitely a great help.

"Yes."

"And who are you?" Qi Qing compared her prophecy dream ability, but how to use it without voice guidance, I feel that space is not an ability that she has, but more like a prop brought by some kind of system.

The other party obviously knew Qi Qing's thoughts, and explained: "It's similar to what you guessed, you can understand me as a novice guide program. You, and some other chosen humans, will receive similar help to enhance your ability to survive the calamities that are coming. ”

Qi Qing understood from the conversation that the natural disaster would really come, but she didn't know if it was a natural phenomenon or some higher-dimensional mechanism that planned all this. She was not obsessed with the golden finger of space, but asked calmly, "Who chose us?" How many of us are there? ”

"Sorry, as a newbie, you're not qualified to know that much yet. If you survive the first round of natural disasters, you may be able to get clues about it. ”

"Do you have a name? What should I call you? Qi Qingming knew that the other party was not human, but she still asked like this. What is speaking in her head is definitely not something that can be created by real technology, and the difference between advanced AI and humans may not be much. Get along well and take the initiative to respect, starting with the name.

"You can call me number 799."

"799, so there are at least 799 people chosen?" Qi Qing said tentatively.

799 said without the slightest wave: "This question cannot be answered for the time being. ”

"So can we who are chosen recognize or contact each other?" Qi Qing continued to ask. Since there are other people who have been helped, if these lucky ones can join forces, can they form a powerful force, prepare in advance, resist natural disasters together, and even turn the tide?

"Without special items, you can't recognize each other and you can't communicate with each other through the system. The first round of natural disasters will not end until the elimination rate of the selected ones reaches 50%. 799 coldly stated the rules, "In a sense, you are all competitors. Let me start by introducing your binding space characteristics, and you will probably understand this concept. ”

So Qi Qing knew the characteristics of the space and the upgrade method.

The first point is that there are no surviving things in her space, and the flow of time is extremely slow, which can basically be kept fresh for a long time. Access to the space requires her mind to control, and if someone else's mental intrusion is to operate on her behalf, the space can be identified and locked to ensure the safety of items.

Second, her space can be upgraded and expanded.

The initial size is 50 cubic centimeters that she currently perceives, and when it reaches level 1, it becomes 1 cubic meter, level 2 is 5 cubic meters, level 3 is 10 cubic meters, level 4 is 50 cubic meters, and so on.

Upgrading requires her to do good deeds to gain the sincere gratitude of others, and only 1 person is required to upgrade to level 1, 5 people to upgrade to level 2, 10 people to level 3, 50 people to level 4, and so on.

Gratitude is not always increasing, if someone has hatred and resentment towards Qi Qing, the unused gratitude value will be canceled. The Gratitude that has been used up has become space and will not be affected. Therefore, if Qi Qing does something bad, the gratitude value is likely to be negative.

If the space holder dies, both the space and its contents will be annihilated, unless there is a space holder of the same space within 10 meters of the vicinity, there is a certain chance that the ownerless space and its contents will be obtained, expanding their space.

After learning this rule, Qi Qing's heart sank.

The chosen ones are in a competitive relationship with each other, and the setting of Death Succession Annexation can expand their own space, which doesn't seem to be friendly. Therefore, before she has enough self-protection ability, she must not let others know that she holds the space, so that she can be safer.

"The host is smart." If 799 has an expression, it should be relieved at this time.
