I Have a Mansion in the Post-apocalyptic World

Jiang Chen left the Sixth Street by helicopter and returned to Fishbone base.

He went to the community center and spoke with Wang Qing to gain an understanding of the base’s supply reserves. He then asked Han Junhua about the deployment on the front line and whether any new moves had been made by the Northern Alliance Area. Finally, Jiang Chen went to the software development department to check on the department’s new game. After he completed all these stops, he left the community center and returned to the mansion.

Yao Yao was cooking lunch.

The little Loli in an apron prepared a table full of dishes.

Whether it was the tender trotters or the fish that had a delicious color, the food all radiated with an appetizing odor. Lin Lin, who was already at the table, had flashing eyes emitting a hungry light. Her chopsticks were already raised and ready to conquer the food.

After seeing the dishes, Jiang Chen took out two bottles of cold beer from the refrigerator.

One bottle for himself, and the other bottle for Xiaorou. Sun Jiao never acted appropriately after drinking. She was self-aware and remained loyal to Coke. As for the lovely Yao Yao, Jiang Chen prepared some coconut milk from Coro Island, which was one of her favorite drinks.

The family ate lunch and chatted about Penglai being built by Jiang Chen in the modern world.

“Is it a city floating on the ocean? That’s unimaginable… Can you build one in the apocalypse?” Sun Jiao took a swig of her Coke then said enviously.

“There were still a lot of marine cities before the war… but most of them sunk.” In the end, Yao Yao’s tone was mixed with nostalgia.

Yao Yao, who lived before the war, was no stranger to the concept of marine cities, but with her current life now, she rarely recalled her life from before the war. The same was true of Lin Lin, who was still fixated on eating her food, even though she took part in the design of Penglai. When Jiang Chen praised Penglai, she just pouted then licked the grease off her lips.

“Technically feasible, but there’s absolutely no need for one here. If I get a chance, I’ll definitely take you to see it over there.” Jiang Chen smiled.

“That sounds so good,” Sun Xiaorou sighed, full of hope, one hand holding her chin. She murmured, “I just don’t know when that day will come.”

“There will be such a day.” Jiang Chen promised.

At that moment, Lin Lin, who was devouring the food, suddenly raised her head. She swallowed down the food in her mouth and looked at Jiang Chen.

“Oh, one thing I almost forgot to tell you.”

“You probably forgot already… What is it?” Jiang Chen asked.

Her little eyebrows raised and her red and black colored eyes narrowed. Lin Lin proudly raised her chest and dropped a heavy bomb on the table.

“I made progress on my research in performing interdimensional travel with living creatures.”

After lunch, nobody touched the plates on the table.

Not only Jiang Chen, but even Sun Jiao, Xiaorou, Yao Yao all squeezed into Lin Lin’s laboratory and fixated on Lin Lin, who was calibrating the instrument.

“Don’t look at me like this, I… I’ll get nervous. I’ll just mention in advance that after all, it hasn’t been tested yet. In theory, it should be feasible. But I’ll only find out after the experiment,” Lin Lin muttered in a quiet voice. Her fingertips typed on the holographic screen rapidly and she opened several instruments set up in the lab. “Right, how big is your storage dimension now?”

Lin Lin’s question made Jiang Chen think for a moment. He hadn’t thought about this for a long time.

“It’s very big… wait for me to take a look.” Jiang Chen closed his eyes and sank his consciousness into the spherical universe.

This feeling was quite wonderful. Although it was dark, he could clearly perceive the presence of every object in it, and he could use invisible “hands” to fiddle with their positions. The boundary of the universe was an invisible “wall” consisting of pure gravity. There was no substance behind the “wall,” and there wasn’t even a concept of space.

It was troublesome to measure the size of this space. Although he had absolute control over all substances in the dimension, he couldn’t change much about the space itself.

Fortunately, he had those invisible “hands” to help. Using manipulation, Jiang Chen arranged the things stored in the storage dimension like Lego to form a crooked line through the center of the spherical universe.

A proud smile appeared on his face, but his expression suddenly turned awkward.

[How do I measure this without a ruler?]

After a long time, Jiang Chen opened his eyes.

The work just made him feel slightly dizzy. Using the invisible hands consumed the energy stored in the bracelet.

“The radius is approximately 20 meters. Hmm, perhaps 15 meters… It’s around the size of a small house.” Jiang Chen vaguely described it.

“How big is a small house? Stupid.” Lin Lin mocked him and sighed. Holding a test tube containing an unknown liquid, she approached a cylindrical instrument.

A small opening in the center of the cylinder perfectly fitted the test tube. White mist rose from the small opening, and it seemed that the temperature inside was quite low.

“Low-temperature hibernation?” Sun Xiaorou tilted her head.

“Yes, but no.” Lin Lin gave an ambiguous answer. She inserted the test tube into the cylinder, closed the cap, then knocked on the cylinder. “Throw this into your storage space. If I’m correct, it should work.”

“Throw this entire thing in?”

“Yes, this entire thing.” Lin Lin nodded.

The girls’ eyes all concentrated on Jiang Chen.

Being watched with so much eagerness, Jiang Chen awkwardly touched his nose then put his hand on the cylinder.

In just the blink of an eye, the one-person-tall cylinder disappeared.

He looked at Lin Lin and asked, “That’s it? Then?”

Lin Lin, holding her small chin, thought carefully. “Directly … no, first, travel back to your side, then come back and spit it out from the storage dimension.”

Lin Lin’s voice had just faded when Jiang Chen disappeared from the room.

Two minutes later, he appeared in the laboratory again. He lifted his hand, and the cylindrical machine reappeared in the laboratory.

Yao Yao blinked blankly and still didn’t understand what the experiment was all about. Sun Jiao and Xiaorou were also the same, looking at Lin Lin, Jiang Chen and the cylinder at the center of the laboratory in bewilderment.

Without a care for Jiang Chen, after seeing the cylinder, Lin Lin immediately stepped forward to open the device and took out the test tube. She walked to a microscope, made a temporary slide, and observed it under the microscope.

Two seconds later, Lin Ling’s face turned ecstatic.

“It’s a success!”
