Chapter 14: The Bathroom

When Mo Yuwan woke up the next day, she could clearly feel that her stamina and strength had improved a lot compared to the day before.

Even her fatigue had completely vanished.

She figured this was another bonus effect from the system.

It wasn’t just her—Mo Siying could feel it too.

Luckily, her mom didn’t ask any questions, so she didn’t have to come up with an explanation.

The two of them headed out without eating breakfast at home; today was another big stockpiling day.

They swept through every breakfast shop near their home, buying loads of soy milk, fried dough sticks, soup dumplings, all kinds of big buns, tofu pudding, shumai… They bought plenty from each shop and tossed it all into the space.

They even drove out to some farther breakfast places.

It wasn’t until they’d filled another ten shelves that Mo Yuwan finally stopped.

She discovered that with the new racks, she could now precisely choose where items would appear in her space, so she didn’t have to take things out and organize them bit by bit anymore.

Suddenly, the system broadcast sounded again.

[Ding~ A new day has begun! Host detected actively stockpiling today. Reward increased: please stockpile 30 million yuan worth of goods today. Complete the task and system space will expand to 4,000 square meters, plus a stockpiling fund reward of 500 million yuan. Please work hard for the apocalypse lying-flat plan!]

Mo Yuwan twitched her lips. Even though the system was giving her things, it still felt a bit off.

After thinking about it, she realized the real issue: the system’s tone and broadcast style seemed much more cheerful than before.

She wasn’t sure if it was just her imagination, but she didn’t dwell on it.

That morning, the two of them bought a ton of generators and appliances—projectors, TVs, washing machines, refrigerators, ice makers… basically, if they saw it, they bought it.

They both knew that while these things were common now, after the apocalypse they’d be rare treasures. Not everyone would have electricity, and even if they did, these items might just be decorations.

People around them were amazed by the mother-daughter duo’s indiscriminate shopping spree. Everywhere they went, people whispered about them. Mo Yuwan was prepared—she wore a mask and hat whenever she went out, so no one could see their faces. Even the sellers only knew they were a mother and daughter.

Still, whenever someone showed them kindness, Mo Yuwan would subtly remind them to stock up on food at home.

What she didn’t know was that, thanks to these little acts of kindness, the survival rate in Tongcheng would end up much higher than in other cities—people here would survive twice as long as elsewhere.

After their morning shopping, they went home, arranged a time with the delivery guy, signed for their packages, and set up all the new electronics for downloads before heading out again.

They picked up more goods from the warehouse, then went to the tomb.

The tomb’s renovations were just as they’d left them, but the entrance was now disguised as a mountain wall. Even Mo Yuwan had to feel around for a while before finding the door.

From the inside, it was now a high-security steel door. She hadn’t noticed last time because it was dark, but it was clearly the system’s doing. There was even a fingerprint-activated, high-security code lock.

Inside, the cave entrance had reverted to its original look, but the door’s security was even higher than the cave’s. Even if someone walked right up to it, they wouldn’t notice anything unusual.

She opened the door, revealing the ladder, and the two of them climbed down.

The corridor lights were easy to turn on—just a switch by the door.

Once pressed, the whole tomb lit up.

Mo Siying insisted on staying in one of the side chambers. Even though the coffin in the main room had been repainted and decorated with flowers, she still found it creepy and refused to stay there.

Mo Yuwan didn’t push her and agreed.

Next, she set up beds, tables, and other furniture in each room.

With that done, there was a lot more space in her storage, and the tomb felt much more like a home.

The biggest surprise was that Mo Yuwan discovered a new bathroom behind the main chamber, fully equipped with a toilet, shower, and sink.

She turned on the tap—and water flowed out. The toilet flushed perfectly.

Mo Yuwan: …

She wanted to figure out where the water was coming from, but couldn’t take things apart, so she could only complain to the system in her mind.

[Stupid system, you make all this crazy stuff but don’t even give me a manual. How does this work? Is it safe to use? Who dares use it?!]

For once, the system actually replied.

[Usable.]

It was still the system’s broadcast voice, but this time there was a hint of tone, though it still sounded mechanical.

Mo Yuwan was startled.

After confirming it was the system, she tentatively asked,
[What’s the principle?]

[Rainwater from the mountain is stored. There are pipes under the toilet that discharge to a safe location. No need to worry.]

[Power is supplied by the largest generator you bought today. If it breaks, another will be automatically used from your space.]

[You even have automatic installation services?]

This time, the system didn’t reply.

Mo Yuwan was speechless.

Fine, don’t answer. At least now she knew the basics and dared to use it.

But in the early days of the apocalypse, there would be a period of acid rain—would the water still be usable then?

She asked the system again, and it coldly replied “Usable,” then went silent.

She figured there must be a comprehensive filtration system.

Still, she didn’t plan to rely on the system for everything. She decided to buy some buckets that afternoon to store extra water, just in case.

With more space freed up, she and her mom went out shopping again.

That afternoon’s goal was clear: fresh food—meat, fish, vegetables, fruit—and cooking utensils.
