“Cough, cough, cough!”
Jiang Yan turned to the side, covering her mouth and coughed lightly a few more times.
Choked by the smoke, her head suddenly cleared up a bit.
She decided to bunk in the outside cabin tonight, without going into Space.
With the storm outside being so severe, and having not experienced any earthquakes here, she was somewhat worried that once she went into Space and came out, she might not be able to leave again.
She couldn’t let Hua Bao guard the space outside alone every night.
With that thought in mind, she took out the winter camping gear she had bought earlier from Space, one by one.
First was a high-capacity portable power source and then a camping floor lamp.
Then there was the heater.
After adding fuel to the heater and lighting it, the temperature inside the cabin gradually became much warmer.
The wooden bed and desk that had been in the cabin were temporarily stored in Space through her telekinesis.
A double-layer moisture-proof camping tent followed, along with two layers of moisture mats and a down sleeping bag.
After preparing all this, she felt a bit hungry.
In such cold weather, nothing was more suitable than hotpot.
She estimated the size of the brazier, took out an iron stand from Space, and then retrieved a split hotpot to place on it.
After pouring in mineral water, Jiang Yan took out a packet of spicy hotpot base and broke half of it into the red soup side.
She only added a little bit of water to the clear soup side, then took out two fresh T country green coconuts, pouring the coconut water into it and added some tender coconut flesh to cook together.
While waiting for the soup base to boil, she produced a camping table with a thought.
Hotpot ingredients were also retrieved.
Snowflake beef slices, mutton rolls, beef rolls, boneless duck feet, fish slices, duck blood, crispy meat, shrimp paste, bamboo shoots, bamboo mushrooms, lotus slices, potato slices, enoki mushrooms, yams, baby bok choy, kelp, tomatoes…
These dishes were all prepared by the restaurant as single, small portions.
So while the variety seemed large, the quantity was, in fact, quite small.
One duck foot, three small pieces of crispy meat, two pieces of shrimp paste, and so on.
The dipping sauces were also pre-mixed by the restaurant, one serving of Thai spicy and sour sauce and one serving of fragrant oil garlic sauce.
Jiang Yan suddenly had the feeling of going back to the days before the apocalypse when she used to do outdoor live broadcasts.
Well.
Just set up a phone holder then, and she would be all set.

“Gurgle, gurgle,” the soup base finally began to boil.
The red soup was spicy and fragrant, and the clear soup was sweet and delicious.
The white steam, fragrant with aroma, quickly spread throughout the cabin.
Jiang Yan unconsciously swallowed saliva, picked up chopsticks, and first put the durable foods like the duck feet, crispy meat, and bamboo shoots into the spicy soup, while adding items like lotus slices, baby bok choy, and bamboo mushrooms into the clear broth.
Once the soup base was boiling again, she began to swirl the mutton and beef rolls, enjoying her meal.
As she was eating, Jiang Yan’s hand holding the chopsticks suddenly paused.
She wondered how Ye Qing and Su Dai were doing.
It had been over ten days since they had been separated in Xiangcheng.
She didn’t know whether they had managed to leave Xiangcheng successfully.
If they hadn’t, then—those mushroom clouds…
Her gaze unconsciously glanced at the window outside.
By then, the sky outside had completely darkened.
“Whish, whish,” the snowflakes continued to drift.
“Yeah, it’s been ten days in the blink of an eye…” After muttering to herself, Jiang Yan picked up a glass of fresh watermelon juice and took a sip, then suddenly furrowed her brow.
She suddenly realized a problem: she might have gone in the wrong direction.
According to the route estimated with Song Qian before, departing from Xiangcheng and reaching East Mountain should have taken no more than ten days.
That was even when traveling in primitive ways.
And she had been flying at full speed almost all of the daylight hours of these ten days.

According to this speed, she could have made seven or eight round trips to East Mountain by now.
But she hadn’t reached East Mountain.
There was only one possibility—
She had gone in the wrong direction.
But, considering the large ships she encountered on the road, this direction—or, rather, this landmass she was now on—was very likely to have the same viable settlements, or even some large bases.
Suddenly, Jiang Yan no longer had an appetite.
She put down her utensils, took out a compass.
The compass showed no change.
Jiang Yan realized then that earthquakes could alter magnetic fields.
Especially the earthquake in Xiangcheng, which was even worse than the previous one in Anming.
Since leaving Xiangcheng, the sky had been overcast, lacking both sun and moon or stars.
There were obviously no corresponding celestial objects for navigation.
The trees in the forest she passed through, after experiencing intense heat and pouring rain, were almost all bare trunks, so she couldn’t use the density of the treetops or the length of the branches to orient herself.
Speaking of trees, Jiang Yan subconsciously patted her thigh.
She remembered that tree rings could also be used for orientation.
The side with the denser tree rings is the north, and the side with sparser ones is the south.
Jiang Yan stood up and looked out at the dense woods outside the window.
It was a pity that it was pitch black outside.
Never mind, there’s no rush.
When in Rome, do as the Romans do—she’d deal with it when the day broke.
In fact, if it weren’t for this blizzard, there was another way she could ascertain her current location:
She could put on her flight suit, fly up to as high an altitude as possible, and take an aerial photo.
Then, by transmitting this mountain range snapshot to the computer and comparing it to the offline satellite map, she could probably identify her whereabouts to some extent.
However, that method was no longer applicable.
The blizzard was too strong for her to attempt flying up again.
And most likely by the end of the night, the entire mountain top would be covered in snow.
After eating, Jiang Yan put her dishes and utensils back into the Space Apple Cabin’s dishwasher to wash automatically.
She watched an entertainment show for a while, enjoying the bustling atmosphere before going to wash up.
After washing up, Jiang Yan came straight out of Space.
She now held two hot water bottles in her hands.
Hua Bao also came out, one of its vines wrapped around a small bag.
Inside was a gold brick it had taken from a large box, planning to nibble away at it while keeping watch at night for Jiang Yan.
Before coming out, Jiang Yan glanced at the progress over the stream—it was around 1%.
She estimated that once Hua Bao finished eating the gold collected from the sky hotel, the progress might only reach about 3%.
It was still early days before the next upgrade.
She wasn’t in a hurry.
Take it slowly.
Most importantly, there was no rush.
Besides, concerning the functionalities of Space and Hua Bao after the upgrade, she hadn’t fully figured them out yet.
Well, she’d take her time with that too.
With these thoughts, Jiang Yan, who had not had a good rest for a long time, began to close her eyes and fell into a deep sleep.
Hearing her light breathing, Hua Bao carefully climbed in front of the floor lamp and adjusted the light to sleep mode.
Then, after tossing a few gold bricks into its gaping maw, its body flattened like a piece of paper and exited the door.
It “slithered” onto the thatched roof covered with a thin layer of snow, four vines hung from the four corners of the house, keeping watch on all sides.
The other two vines curled up to create a nest-like structure, resting its large head on top.

The next day.
The first thing Jiang Yan did upon waking was to grab an electric saw and head out to saw trees.
As she had anticipated, she indeed had gone the wrong way.
Based on her deductions, she was now probably in the north.
The north, where that freak Xue Miaomiao had built the Flame Base…
