After being broken up and unemployed, natural disasters came

Chapter 7 007 The Chosen One
Qi Qing's home is on the sixth floor. The two bedrooms and the living room all face south. In the early years, they closed the balcony because they were afraid of the cold.

But in the dream, starting from late April, the outdoor temperature in City S averaged minus [-] 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 in the north that focus on insulation. The walls are thin and the insulation layer is also very thin. The temperature difference between indoor and outdoor is very small. The sudden drop in temperature can easily lead to cracking and damage.

Her family's house itself is not resistant to cold or heat.Even if we start to renovate immediately and add insulation and heating equipment, how useful will it be to just keep our own household warm in the building?It is impossible to be alone in a catastrophe.

"Mom, why don't we sell the house and move to another place." Qi Qing made this suggestion after careful consideration.

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

Their house is considered a high-quality school district house in the city center. Now the second-hand house is 10,000+ per square meter, with a total price of more than 1000 million. If you want to sell it sincerely, many customers are rushing to buy it, and the supply exceeds demand.At the beginning, the mother wanted her daughter to marry and start a family in the future, and to give birth to a registered permanent residence here, and to enter a key school.

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

Du Ruying knew more about the prophetic dream than her daughter.She usually pretends not to believe in those strange and chaotic things to make her daughter pay more attention to reality, but this cannot conceal her daughter's growing ability.

After giving birth, most of the women in the clan will indeed lose the ability to predict dreams, but the ability of their family has been the strongest since ancient times. If there are not many births, they will still retain some ability to predict dreams.

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

"I'll think about it." Du Ruying didn't say anything right away, "Sold the house, do you have a goal? We must still find a place to live. Did you find any feng shui treasures in your dream that can avoid those disasters?"

Qi Qing said: "There is one place that might work. You took me there when I was a child. It is your hometown, the military factory in the mountains."

It was abandoned more than 40 years ago, but tens of thousands of people lived in the factory in its heyday. Not only the factory buildings, dormitories, auditoriums, canteens and shops are all available, but also sports grounds, theaters, and even nursery schools to compulsory education schools. Both.The daughter suddenly mentioned this at this time, Du Ruying nodded thoughtfully, but did not continue this topic.

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

Pretending to go back to the bedroom to rest, Qi Qing spread out the yoga mat, crossed her legs and closed her eyes, and began to meditate.When her mind is in turmoil or her body is exhausted, she will meditate like this.This is what his father taught him, talking about the family-passed method of health preservation, but in fact, she thinks this is the method of breathing meditation.

She was familiar with the road and entered a state of relaxation and ecstasy. The surrounding colors and even the sense of space dissipated, as if she was sitting in a nothingness.

Her eyes were closed, but she could "see" her surroundings clearly, as if her thoughts captured those substances and gradually took shape in her mind.

A translucent box appeared in front of her, about 50 centimeters square, and the two boxes of wedding candies were lying quietly inside.

What is this place?She asked the question with her mind.

Unexpectedly, a strange voice appeared in her mind immediately, and replied: "The host has completed the full activation of the personal binding space. This space is only bound to the host's consciousness. When the host's consciousness disappears and the body dies, the space and the items in it are also It will be annihilated, and it will be acquired and inherited by others unless there are some special circumstances."

"This is my space?" Qi Qing's heart beat faster.If natural disasters are destined to come, having a portable space is definitely a big help.

"Yes."

"Then who are you?" Qi Qing compared her ability to predict dreams, how to use it without voice guidance, and felt that space was not her own ability, but more like a prop brought by some kind of system.

The other party obviously knew what Qi Qing was thinking, and explained: "It's almost as you guessed, you can understand me as a novice guidance program. And you, and some other selected humans, will receive similar help to strengthen your Survivability in the various disasters that are coming."

From the conversation, Qi Qing understood that natural disasters would indeed come, but she didn't know whether it was a natural phenomenon or some higher-dimensional mechanism that planned it all.She was not obsessed with cheats like space, but asked calmly, "Who chose us? How many of us are there?"

"Sorry, as a novice, you are not qualified to know that much. If you survive the first round of natural disasters, you may be able to get relevant information clues."

"Do you have a name? What should I call you?" Qi Qingming knew that the other party was not human, but still asked.What is talking in her mind is definitely not something that can be created by real technology. The difference between advanced AI and human beings may not be that big.Get along well and take the initiative to respect, starting from the name.

"You can call me number 799."

"799, so there are at least 799 people selected?" Qi Qing asked tentatively.

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

"Then we who have been selected, can we recognize each other or contact each other?" Qi Qing continued to ask.Since there are other people who have received help, if these lucky ones can unite, can they form a powerful force, make full preparations in advance, resist natural disasters together, and even turn the tide?

"Without special props, you can't recognize each other, and you can't communicate with each other through the system. The first round of natural disasters will end after the elimination rate of the selected you reaches 50.00%." ​​799 stated the rules coldly, "In a sense Speaking of which, you are all competitors. Please allow me to introduce your binding space characteristics first, and you can probably understand this concept.”

So Qi Qing knew the characteristics of the space and how to upgrade it.

The first point is that there are no living things in her space, and the flow of time is extremely slow, which can basically be kept fresh for a long time.The access to the space requires her mind control. If it is operated by someone else's mental intrusion, the space can be identified and locked to ensure the safety of the items.

The second point is that her space can be upgraded and enlarged.

The initial size is the current 50 cubic centimeters she perceives. When it is upgraded to level 1, it will become 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. Upgrading to level 1 requires only one person’s gratitude, upgrading to level 1 requires 2 people, level 5 3 people, level 10 4 people, and so on.

The gratitude value does not always increase at a fixed rate. If someone has hatred and resentment towards Qi Qing, the unused gratitude value will be offset.The gratitude value that has been used has become space and will not be affected.Therefore, if Qi Qing did something bad, her gratitude value would likely be negative.

If the space holder dies, the space and the items in it will be annihilated, unless there is the same space holder within 10 meters nearby, there is a certain probability that they will get an unowned space and the items in it, and expand their own space.

After learning about this rule, Qi Qing's heart shuddered.

The selected people are in a competitive relationship with each other, and death inheritance and annexation can expand their own space. This setting does not seem to be friendly.Therefore, before she has enough self-protection ability, she must not let others know that what she holds is space, so that she can be safer.

"The host is very smart." If 799 had an expression, he should have breathed a sigh of relief.
