Apocalyptic Beastworld: A Farming Space Dimension to Another World-Chapter 23: Seclusion

Xie Ziyuan opened the gate, which was clearly made of high technology. There wasn’t just one mechanism to protect the entrance, but a few.

Everyone was full of anticipation. What lies inside this towering fortress?

Once Xie Ziyuan finished opening the entrance, he let everyone in before closing it again. Only did everyone see the magnificent castle.

Lin Yuyao was about to open her mouth, but she found that Xie Ziyuan was nowhere to be found. She could only shake her head helplessly. Since the big boss didn’t want to deal with them, she had to do it.

First, she settled everyone’s lodging, arranging their rooms.

"Yaoyao." Once she was done, the people’s way of addressing her became more affectionate. Her eyelids twitched.

She turned to them. "Is there anything you need? Only a few rooms are available for now. I will ask for the keys to Master Xie tomorrow. You all should rest first."

When they heard that, everyone resisted their excitement. They were already utterly exhausted after the event that had transpired that night, but they also could hardly contain their curiosity.

"Of course, of course." Everyone nodded, not minding the place at all. At least they no longer slept uncomfortably with ropes, chains, or even cold cages around them.

Even if they had to sleep in a room with others for the time being, it was no problem at all!

After Lin Yuyao exited the room, she also headed to her own bedroom. In the darkness, she noticed the watchtower still lit. She recalled that everything was dark before they went inside.

It must have been Xie Ziyuan.

He hadn’t taken any room of his own ever since she arrived on this base. She would often see him lounging above the fortress wall or the watchtower.

"Sister," Lin Yu’an called out to her, snapping her out of her daze.

"Yu’an," she let out a breath. "Go to sleep."

The younger brother nodded, and they walked to their rooms on the separate corridor from other beastmen. There was bound to be a lot of work tomorrow, so they decided to sleep.

On the other hand, Xie Ziyuan was sitting on a chair, staring at the moon in a daze. His power had recovered around twenty five percent.

He must have overexerted himself. Because the effect of the farming in his inner space wasn’t as potent as before. Three plots done and he only regained twenty-five percent of his current power.

Even after midnight had long passed, that woman still hadn’t appeared again. The last message he sent was left unanswered, and without realizing it, she had been gone for more than a day.

A deep frown marred his forehead. Does she have something she needs to take care of?

He glanced at the room where the beastmen sleep. Not all of them had fallen asleep, some were still too excited. They wanted to go out and explore this novel and well-developed place, yet they didn’t dare to do that.

The knowledge that they were in the middle of the dangerous zone still made them feel apprehensive.

Gradually, all of them fell asleep after they couldn’t resist the exhaustion. Only Xie Ziyuan was still wide awake.

He found himself occasionally entering the inner space, watching the rice plants slowly grow. Still agitated, he eventually jumped from the high fortress, landing softly into the ground.

His keen senses helped him evade some dangerous entity nearby as he traversed the forest. By the time he was back to the base, it was already morning.

"M-master Xie." Lin Yu’an was taken aback when he saw Xie Ziyuan standing near their room.

Xie Ziyuan nodded. "I brought your meal for today. Divide it with everyone."

Lin Yu’an blinked in shock when he saw the huge elephant in front of the castle. It was so massive! Such a huge beast should be able to last them for a few days.

"That’s a lot of meat!" He was amazed.

"I am going to enter a meditation. You don’t need to look for me for the next few days," Xie Ziyuan told him.

The little black cat was taken aback. He asked Xie Ziyuan with hesitation. "Master Xie, you don’t need us to send you some food?"

Xie Ziyuan hummed and didn’t elaborate further. He disappeared from the spot in the next second, and soon, his figure reappeared inside the watchtower.

On top of the tower, there was an observation deck. Below it, there was decent lodging with a bed and basic necessities like a bathroom and surprisingly, a small kitchen. The watchtower was very tall and large. A lot of people would be able to squeeze inside.

He had stayed away from the people because he wanted to try the rice without sprinkling too much contaminated water. A water hose just appeared yesterday, right before the ghostly woman was gone.

There was no doubt it had something to do with her.

At first, he suspected that the source of water was from the flowing river. However, that assumption was washed once he checked the pollution level.

Around 15%, which was unbelievable.

It was common sense that the bodies of all living beings were contaminated by the unknown substance, but at the same time, they were also fighting against it.

As such, even if an edible vegetable was planted in an environment with high contamination level, once it grew, the contamination level would be lower.

With such a low contamination level, the rice he planted this time might have a better quality. He just needed to wait for a bit.

It was still early in the morning, so he cooked the white rice using the hose water. Even without any accompaniment, he felt it was really delicious.

As he ate, he could also feel every cell in his body regenerating faster, healing him. The dull throbbing in his chest slowly faded away.

There were still fifty portions of white rice left in total. He wondered whether that ghostly woman would be upset if he took more...? 𝒻𝑟𝘦𝘦𝘸ℯ𝒷𝑛𝘰𝓋ℯ𝘭.𝘤𝘰𝘮

With this thought in mind, he decided to eat two more portions. Hmph, if she gets angry, he is sure she will go find him once she returns!

Meanwhile, in another world, it was also still morning. Su Yining sneezed. She hurriedly took a tissue to wipe her nose. Who is cursing her?!

It must have been either Chen Kaixuan or Han Zhicong!
