Disaster Apocalypse: Farming, Family, and My Hidden Secret Space-Chapter 199. It’s here, it has come

Choosing this time was the right decision. The early hours of dawn are when people are most exhausted and least alert, or perhaps they were too confident, thinking no one could steal something so enormous. Anyway, Hua Jin’s spiritual power swept through without finding any Patrol Guards; it was a smooth journey to the riverbank.

What a monstrous thing, Hua Jin couldn’t help but marvel again as she looked up at the massive dark shapes.

It was a bit far from the shore; touching it by hand was impossible. Even though her spiritual power had improved, covering such a large thing was indeed difficult, and trying to store it in the space from a distance might not work.

Narrowing her eyes in thought, she felt her father nudge her, and followed his hand with her eyes, then her eyes lit up.

If nothing else worked, she was ready to take out the rubber dinghy from the space, paddle over to the ship, and climb up. But now it wasn’t necessary.

Thick hemp ropes, about the width of her arms, were secured on the shore, with the other end tied to a ship.

This made it even easier, and Hua Jin walked over. fɾeeweɓnѳveɭ.com

At this moment, Hua Chengtian was untying the iron rings securing the ropes.

They were too thick, and with the knots tied differently, Hua Chengtian had to expend tremendous effort to untie just one.

Hua Jin tried as well; it was indeed difficult, the speed wasn’t satisfactory.

"Dad, use the knife."

As she spoke, she took out a sharp knife from the space and handed it to her father.

Hua Chengtian nodded; a single rope made him sweat profusely, using a knife was indeed faster. He raised it without hesitation and cut.

Both father and daughter were strong, almost solving a rope with one cut each. When it came to the last one, Hua Jin swiftly pulled the rope and successfully stored the ship in the space.

"Done," said Hua Chengtian, unable to hide his excitement as he spoke in a trembling whisper. His big mouth grinned beneath the covering cloth.

"Yes, Dad, let’s continue."

Then father and daughter hacked away, and in a short time they had stored six large cargo ships and three small ones. They weren’t shy about also taking bunches of small wooden boats piled on the riverbank, accumulating about ten or so.

"Jin’er, that’s about enough."

They had been at it for nearly an hour. Although their method of interspersed collection made it undetectable at a glance, it wouldn’t hold up to scrutiny. It was best to leave quickly.

"Yes," Hua Jin nodded. It was indeed enough; even if they loaded people from several villages around Hua Village, it would suffice.

The father and daughter said no more and quickly traversed through the night, occasionally grabbing some timber, even bits that looked like scrap—Hua Jin collected them without holding back.

Since they were here, they might as well take it all back for charcoal or firewood; she never considered it too much.

Then, without a trace, they left the place. A cup of tea later, they switched to a carriage in the forest outside the state city gates, and the laid-back pair even took a nap on the cart.

When they woke up as daylight broke and the crowds surged, Hua Jin and her father drove the carriage back into the city.

As they say, since they’re here, they shouldn’t leave empty-handed; they needed to stock up.

Next, Hua Chengtian and Hua Jin drove the carriage through various city streets, especially food stores, filling each one with a cartful before moving on to the next.

The state’s city was many times larger than New Moon City, with a permanent population of no less than hundreds of thousands. The demand for food was vast. Even if he bought a lot, it wasn’t noticeable here; anything edible or usable, even down to needles and threads, was bought in bulk.

When the carriage passed a distillery, Hua Jin nearly couldn’t move forward, almost emptying half the distillery, especially packing all the high-proof spirits, making the distillery manager personally see them off the premises, under various pretenses several times.

Fortunately, they had sold a few jade pieces earlier; otherwise, they wouldn’t have dared to buy such expensive liquor, as it was even more costly than food by a large margin.

Had it not been for the belief that strong liquor is a great thing for warmth in winter and also has antiseptic properties, Hua Jin wouldn’t have bought so much. Combined with what was stored in her father’s space, it should last many years if they didn’t waste it.

So, they stayed in the city for three days, lodging at night and stocking up by day. They bought quite a lot to fill the gaps, while also nervously observing the city’s happenings, but everything remained calm.

Peace was good. Hua Jin bought things even more boldly—a variety of meats, chickens, ducks, geese, and various eggs, as well as all kinds of fruits. Seeing a pharmacy, she couldn’t help but go in and buy, buy, buy. After buying the last batch, with evening approaching, the father and daughter prepared to leave.

Unbeknownst to them, just an incense stick’s time after they left the city gates, an anxious group entered the city and headed straight to the official residence. An incense stick later, a team of soldiers on horseback galloped towards Mu Wang Town.

But the father and daughter were unaware and uninterested in knowing. At that moment, they were speeding down the official road in their carriage, wishing time would pass faster, so they wouldn’t have to drive tiredly.

An hour later, as night fully descended, they ate a little something, switched to a car, and Hua Chengtian took the driver’s seat, stepping on the accelerator like a beast staring with angry eyes, disappearing down the road.

Unbeknownst to him, a few dozen meters behind, several carriage drivers screamed in fright, nearly losing control, shouting "monster... monster" at the sight of the fiery eyes in front.

With the experience of the journey here, the return was much faster. Two and a half hours later, the car appeared outside Hua Village, and half a cup of tea later, Hua Chengtian took out a ladder from the space and climbed over the outer wall directly.

As Hua Chengtian’s head peeked over the wall’s edge, the previously tense but now excited Big Black Dogs sounded "woof, woof."

"Shh," fearing to wake his parents, Hua Chengtian quickly gestured, petting the Big Black Dogs absent-mindedly, telling them to play aside. He then opened the main gate to bring the horse into the courtyard, with Hua Jin following and closing the gate tightly.

Helping her father store the carriage in the backyard, they fed the horse in the stable, completely exhausted, the pair just wanted to sleep without delay.

Hua Jin and her father said good night and hurriedly went to bed. Hua Chengtian, mindful of his wife’s cleanliness, washed up briefly and jumped into the room through the window.

This year’s temperature was relatively normal; unlike last year, otherwise he would again have to sleep in the courtyard.

Seeing his wife sleeping quietly, Hua Chengtian dared not make a sound and carefully lay down beside her, closing his eyes.

Hua Jin returned to her room, entered the space, showered, and went to bed without any delay.

...

Qishi awoke with a start, sensing warmth beside her. Without a word, she landed a punch on the person next to her, followed by a wretched scream.

"Ah... wife, are you trying to murder your husband? Cough, cough, cough..." cried Hua Chengtian, choking in pain.

At the same time, the awakening Old Man Hua and his wife also were startled and hurriedly shuffled with their shoes on, asking, "What happened, what happened?"

In their hearts, they wondered, why did the scream sound so much like their son’s?
