12: Chapter 12 Space Upgrade, Little White Spirit Pet

Xiao Yu's excited voice stimulated Qi Yin's nerves; she no longer felt the fatigue from the flight, and was full of energy.

She ordered one hundred thousand units each of painkillers like ibuprofen, aspirin, and morphine.

Anesthetics, hemostatic powder, bandages, gauze, surgical needles and thread, and scalpel blades were all essential; she bought one hundred thousand units of each.

There were also supplements to replenish body vitamins, such as multivitamins, Vitamin C, calcium tablets, and so on, totaling ten thousand bottles.

Iodophor for disinfection, alcohol, hydrogen peroxide, 84 disinfectant, medical hand sanitizer, disposable gloves, masks, and protective suits—she threw them all in without even looking.

Accompanied by the clattering sounds of Xiao Yu organizing, Qi Yin tossed hundreds of types of traditional Chinese medicinal herbs inside all at once.

Along with them, portable electrocardiogram machines, glucometers, microscopes, centrifuges, small ultrasound equipment, and even several complete sets of surgical instruments and shadowless lamps were all neatly arranged.

Sinking her consciousness into the Spatial Ability, she saw Xiao Yu busily sorting things and filling up a corner of the space.

With these things, Qi Yin felt a bit more secure.

Next, it was time for the laboratory equipment...

To fight against the terrifying zombie virus, it wasn't just a laboratory that was needed; cutting-edge technology was an unavoidable hurdle to overcome.

In her past life, until the tenth year of the Apocalypse, scientists hadn't been able to develop a vaccine for the zombie virus due to a lack of equipment and conditions.

Therefore, Qi Yin planned to stockpile a batch of high-precision instruments to see if she could successfully develop a virus vaccine when conditions were sufficient.

Combined with the zombie animals that had already appeared in Sakura Country, she vaguely felt that a vaccine was the only way to fight the zombie virus.

As for researchers, she already had candidates in mind.

To protect the experimenters, she purchased thirty Class III biosafety cabinets to serve as a protective barrier between the experimenters and the live virus.

She prepared one thousand sets of fully enclosed positive-pressure protective suits, which could serve as mobile fortresses for the experimenters. With built-in respiratory systems, they would allow researchers to move freely within viral aerosols without being infected.

She purchased one hundred each of thermostatic cell incubators, ultracentrifuges, deep sequencers, and PCR devices; these were crucial for life replication.

She also got ten sets of protein purification systems to act as a vaccine refining plant.

Biological research couldn't do without ultra-low temperature freezers and liquid nitrogen, so she stockpiled a bit more.

Oh right, there were also the supercomputer clusters for data analysis; Qi Yin specially ordered ten sets.

These things cost her a full 300 million—hard-earned money!

"Master, Master, come in quickly!" Xiao Yu's boisterous voice exploded in Qi Yin's mind.

With a flash, she appeared in the space the next second.

The cute, milky announcement voice was very pleasant: "The value of the stockpiled supplies this time is 600 million. The space has expanded by 12,000 square meters, the flow of the spirit spring has increased, you have been rewarded with 25 plots of spirit fields, the function to store living things has been added, and you have obtained one spirit pet!"

"Please keep up the good work and unlock new surprises!"

After the announcement ended, with a "hum," the space vibrated. The originally blurry boundaries began to clear and move towards the distance until Qi Yin could no longer see the end.

The originally slowly flowing spirit spring could now be heard with the sound of running water, and it began to show a trend of flowing into a ditch, though the speed was relatively slow. Qi Yin thought that it wouldn't be long before it converged into a small river.

And those 25 plots of spirit fields, together with the previous two, were neatly arranged under her feet; the black soil emitted bursts of fresh fragrance.

The most critical thing was that the space could now store living things; did that mean she could start farming in there?

Hmm, she would find a small animal later to test it out.

"Roar~"

While Qi Yin was pondering, a furry white little animal nudged her leg with its head, spinning around, and kept making soft, squeaky roars. It looked a bit larger than the Maine Coon she used to keep.

She looked down and couldn't help but pick up the little guy that had suddenly appeared, burying her face in its belly and taking a deep breath.

Ah! Pure bliss!

"Are you the spirit pet Xiao Yu mentioned? Why is there a 'King' character on your head?"

"Master, it is a white tiger, of course there is a 'King' character on its head!" Xiao Yu reminded her at the right time.

The little guy's two small tiger fangs were too adorable, and it was currently whimpering.

"Then why does it keep crying?"

"That's because it's hungry!"

Hungry? Qi Yin remembered that she had stockpiled some loose meat earlier; perhaps she could use it to feed this little guy.

She brought over a large piece of fresh beef and threw it towards the little guy.

The tiny tiger leaped into the air, bit tightly onto the piece of meat that was bigger than its body, and began to chow down heartily.

Wow, that's quite some wild spirit.

"From now on, you'll be called Little White." Qi Yin stroked its head.

The other party let out a soft roar, seemingly accepting the name.

"Xiao Yu, what is Little White's purpose?"

Xiao Yu: "For now, I only know that it can fight!"

However, Qi Yin was noncommittal. Fighting? With this little thing, it would be more likely for others to beat it up.

What she didn't expect was that in the near future, Little White's amazing actions would make her regret today's thoughts.

After bonding with Little White, Qi Yin flashed out of the space ten minutes later.

She could now stay in the space for one hour. If she stockpiled more supplies, she might be able to hide in the space to avoid danger in the future.

With a full harvest, Qi Yin happily went to find Xiao Sinian, who was already waiting for her outside the villa.

Seeing her figure, Xiao Sinian subconsciously glanced at his watch.

Fifteen minutes; this time was even faster.

"Finished?" Xiao Sinian asked a question he already knew the answer to.

Qi Yin shrugged indifferently and rolled her eyes slightly: "Don't you already know?"

There were so many cameras in the basement, and she hadn't destroyed them; she had just specifically looked for a small blind spot when she finally entered the space.

Xiao Sinian seemed to smile, his mask even shifting slightly.

"I didn't watch the surveillance, so, can you tell me how you did it?"

It was like magic—no, magic had traces to follow, but Qi Yin's methods left him with no clue.

Qi Yin didn't intend to hide it from him either. With so many things still in his hands, she might as well trade information for access channels—why not?

Moreover, her intuition told her that Xiao Sinian was a friend, not an enemy.

Even if she misjudged him in the end, she had ways to retreat unscathed.

"In the Apocalypse, the vast majority of people will turn into zombies, but a very small portion of people will awaken Supernatural Ability; they are also known as Ability Users."

"These Supernatural Abilities have different attributes, such as Metal, Wood, Water, Fire, and Earth. Each type of Supernatural Ability has its corresponding power. There are also some mutated Supernatural Abilities, such as Ice, Healing, or perhaps Spatial Ability."

Xiao Sinian stared into the distance; if Qi Yin had looked closely, she would have noticed the shock in the eyes of the usually calm man.

"So, the Supernatural Ability you awakened is Spatial Ability?"

"Yes, just a bit earlier than others."

Qi Yin's eyes deepened, and for a moment, she felt downcast. So, the Apocalypse would definitely come.

"Then, how big is your space?"

Qi Yin thought for a moment, "Hmm, with the things on my list, it could probably hold about thirty times that amount."

She didn't intend to tell Xiao Sinian that her space could grow infinitely; one should always keep a bit of mystery.

Xiao Sinian looked at her deeply, his fingertips tapping on his knees. He thought to himself that Qi Yin's ability seemed to have been specially prepared for him.

"Yin Yin, let's cooperate!"
