In the middle of their stop-and-go trip, they arrived at the first large scale intermediate level city, H City. Close to famous tourist attractions, there were several very well known food factories, and Bai Jing intended to stay here a few days. Those towns where they had stopped to buy food, vegetables, agricultural supplies, and daily necessities were perhaps convenient and cheap, but to buy fence, electrical and the like, he had to come to the big cities.

Although he bought a lot of things on the road, the items only occupied an area less than 300 square meters in the dimension. To be honest, he was both happy and discouraged. Happy that the large dimension could contain so many things, but discouraged that with so much space, when would this ever be filled! 

Storage space and farming space was different. Storage space could be superimposed according to the volume of items. With eight acres of storage space twenty meters high, Bai Jing felt he really needed to load to capacity the storage space. In fact, even if he did not farm, there was enough to eat for a lifetime. 

But this was just a thought, and more preparations were always welcome. And his heart held a faint hope that the apocalypse could quickly end, even if those things he bought in such enormous quantities that he probably would never get to use them, he still persisted to purchase them. However, would the apocalypse ever be over... 

Bai Jing's heart could not be sure. In the final periods of his previous life, although he was in the Institute, from the attitude of the researchers, he could see how the severe the developments were. They had to face against more and more powerful and countless zombies, monsters, mutated animals, plants... 

Was there really room for human survival? 

"Young master, we've arrived." 

Cao Lei then interrupted his thoughts, and Bai Jing gave a self-deprecating smile. And what he was thinking about was that in this life, he had been picked up, tried, struggled, and if died, then if he could die together with Xiao Sa, he thought he should be satisfied. Xiao Sa certainly will not live together with him in the hidden-dimension, and when it came time to die, he would die. To Bai Jing, it did not matter. 

Just giving up without trying, then, was impossible! 

Even if there was only a glimmer of opportunity, he and Xiao together would work hard, trying hard to live! 

"You go book our rooms first. I'm going to look around." Bai Jing thought to this point, not wanting to delay for a moment to get rid of these two and went directly to the building materials market. The purchase of the fence must be as soon as possible. The encountered several fence sellers in the small towns they stopped at also, but he was not very satisfied. The style was neither good-looking nor strong, and if put to order, you would need more than a week. The shortest time to receive should be five days. Anyways, he intended to stay in H city for a few days more, and to the building materials market the sooner, the better. If not, preordering would be fine.

Wang Xuebing and Cao Lei were not surprised, for H City was but a tourist destination. Cao Lei made plans at once of where he wanted to go have fun. 

With the young master's changes in behavior, Wang Xuebing could not help but feel some worry. The changes were too fast, faster than people could respond, and until now, he could not understand how the young master found him during his tail. Since that day, July 31, the young master was not the same. The indifference and cold hidden in his eyes, coldly on the sidelines and ignoring the whole world, he was definitely not pretending. Looking at such a young master gave him illusions of seeing someone elderly dying. One person without any major changes, yet Wang Xuebing really could not think of any kind of reason that let the young master with such a arrogance, stubbornness, born unhappy with a taste of royalty, change so quickly and drastically!
