Mo Yuwan immediately made Da Huang her focus, reaching out to “affectionately” pat his head.
“Da Huang…”
Da Huang’s human-like eyes turned to look at the girl beside him, and his expression was clearly a bit alarmed.
Meeting those eyes, Mo Yuwan realized she probably looked a bit too much like the creepy uncle from next door, which had scared Da Huang.
She coughed awkwardly, then looked back at Da Huang and changed to a more normal tone.
“Do you know where they went?”
Seeing that she seemed normal again, Da Huang wasn’t as scared. He looked at the two women, both watching him expectantly, tilted his head, and then gently shook it.
The meaning was clear.
He didn’t know.
Mo Yuwan actually felt a little disappointed.
Mo Siying was clearly disappointed too, but at this point, they had no choice but to pin their hopes on a dog.
After thinking for a moment, Mo Yuwan asked again,
“Did they leave on their own? No one forced them or put them in danger, right?”
Even though Da Huang seemed much smarter now, he still didn’t quite understand the word “forced,” but he did understand “danger.”
After a while, he just shook his head.
Knowing this was already a small blessing for Mo Yuwan.
She had thought they’d never know what happened—after all, the whole village had disappeared. But now, with Da Huang telling them her grandparents left on their own and weren’t in danger, it was a huge relief.
Mo Siying also seemed to relax a lot after hearing this.
It was a bit strange to put all their hope in a dog, but they had no other choice. At least, knowing from Da Huang that her grandparents were safe was already a rare comfort.
Mo Yuwan unfastened the other end of Da Huang’s leash and held it in her hand.
She wanted to see if she could put Da Huang into her space.
She tried with her mind. Good news.
The leash went in, but the dog didn’t.
Da Huang suddenly felt his neck loosen. He instinctively looked down and saw that the leash, which had been there for so long, had vanished into thin air.
He looked back at Mo Yuwan in confusion.
Mo Yuwan felt a bit awkward too. She rubbed her nose, then took the leash out of her space and put it back on Da Huang.
Apparently, the leash gave Da Huang a sense of security. Once it was back on, he walked with a spring in his step.
The system seemed to sense Mo Yuwan’s needs and spoke up quietly.
【Ding~ Host’s need detected. Now issuing a major space upgrade mission!】
【Please stockpile 300 million yuan worth of goods in the current city within three days. Upon completion, system space will expand to 20,000 square meters! Reward: right to store living creatures (excluding humans)!】
【No penalty for failing the mission.】
【Please complete the mission actively.】
The long-missed mission notification sounded, and Mo Yuwan actually felt a bit nostalgic.
Not to mention, this time the reward was a huge upgrade: the right to store living creatures in her space.
Although she couldn’t store humans, this upgrade was still extremely useful. For now, the biggest benefit was being able to store Da Huang, but thinking further, there were so many possibilities.
She could even buy chickens, ducks, cows, sheep, and fish to put inside!
Then she could breed them and have an endless supply of meat.
Compared to just buying meat, this was clearly much more cost-effective.
And the basic space would expand to 20,000 square meters.
At this moment, Mo Yuwan’s eyes were shining.
Mo Siying didn’t know what her daughter was so happy about, but she figured it must be something good.
The next second, Mo Yuwan grabbed her mother’s hand, holding Da Huang with her left and her mom with her right, and walked straight out.
Da Huang: ?
Mo Siying: ??
As they walked, Mo Yuwan explained to her mother.
The village was next to the mountains, and hardly anyone ever came by. Leaving wasn’t easy—there were no taxis, not even a single bus, and bringing Da Huang along made it even harder to get a ride.
But Mo Yuwan didn’t mind. They’d been exercising lately, Da Huang had just been strengthened, and it was still early. The two of them and a dog could just walk out.
Since they’d made up their minds, even when they saw cars, they didn’t try to hitch a ride. They just took the “No. 11 bus”—that is, they walked.
It took about two hours to leave the deserted village and reach the city center.
Maybe it was thanks to their recent training, but neither Mo Yuwan nor Mo Siying looked tired at all. They were full of energy, and even Da Huang seemed unfazed by the exercise—he didn’t even stick out his tongue.
Their training was already showing results.
Mo Yuwan found a pet-friendly homestay online and booked it for three days, then rented a pay-by-day warehouse.
Once everything was settled, she fed Da Huang and then went out with her mom.
Da Huang was left to watch the house—after all, not every place allowed dogs, and it could be troublesome to bring him everywhere.
This time, her targets were still local foods, regular clothes, and some durable tactical gear. She also needed to stock up on supplies for Da Huang.
The homestay could receive deliveries, so after getting the address from the owner, Mo Yuwan started ordering pet supplies online.
Dog food, canned food, a dog bed—these were all essentials. And with Da Huang now part of the family, she needed to buy more meat, since in the coming apocalypse, feeding him meat would be much better than just dog food.
In fact, dog food would just be a supplement for Da Huang from now on.
The next three days of shopping went very smoothly. Everything was transferred through the warehouse and then stored in her space. She even bought some animal babies to raise later, and made another trip back to the village. Although the people were gone, there were still quite a few poultry left—though a bit weak, she took them all.
As for where her grandparents had gone, there was no point worrying about it. According to Da Huang’s “testimony,” they were safe. Since she couldn’t contact them, she could only put the matter aside for now.
