This meteor shower was an opportunity for her. The meteorite energy in the base alone was enough to unlock so many places in her space. There were even more meteorite energy stones that had fallen in the wild, but they were scattered in various places and were not easy to collect.
She was already very satisfied with the amount of space she could unlock; after working for days on end, her body was starting to feel the strain.
As for Lei Qi, he didn't feel too tired. It was much safer and more comfortable inside the base than outside. Moreover, Sang Luoluo gave him a warm egg every day to comfort him, but he couldn't bear to eat it and saved it to exchange for other supplies outside at night. Sang Luoluo didn't care about these things.
After half a month, her contribution points were among the top, totaling over 430,000, far exceeding her initial goal of 10,000 contribution points.
Through Captain Sheng's contact, she successfully exchanged 10,000 contribution points for two anti-radiation suits. The serial numbers on them included her and Sang Yunpu's names, and the base wouldn't check them later.
With the remaining points, Captain Sheng asked, "What do you want to exchange for with so many contribution points?"
Sang Luoluo's biggest headache was where she would be staying. After half a month of investigation, she understood that the powerful and influential people in the base would have separate residences. These houses were only one or two stories high, in the style of small villas, and could even have three basement levels. In a high-radiation environment like a meteor shower, they could completely hide underground. Even in the event of an earthquake, they could escape in time, instead of falling from mid-air like people in high-rise buildings, their fate unknown.
Sang Luoluo stated her purpose directly, saying, "I want to exchange for a villa. It doesn't matter if it's small or remote, but it must be independent."
Upon hearing this, Sheng Feng assumed that Sang Luoluo would exchange for supplies or something, but he didn't expect that she only wanted a house. In fact, a house is also very important.
Sheng Feng said, "The houses inside the base are still under reconstruction. I will submit your request to higher authorities. As for what kind of house the base will ultimately allocate to you, just wait for further notice."
"Good."
Sheng Feng continued, "Oh, right, there's one more thing I need to remind you. The individual villas in the inner area are quite valuable. Although you have a lot of contribution points left, after buying a house, you might not have much left."
Sang Luoluo nodded. "Yes, I understand. I still think having a safe place to live is very important."
Sheng Feng nodded, took her back, and then went to carry out other tasks.
With the cleanup finished, Sang Yunpu's temporary job also ended. The total contribution points he had accumulated over the past two weeks amounted to only 1677, far less than Sang Luoluo's. So he simply transferred all the contribution points in his account to Sang Luoluo for her to use as she saw fit.
When he heard that Sang Luoluo wanted to buy a villa in the inner area, Sang Yunpu did not object. Having experienced this disaster, he also did not want to live in a high-rise building. A separate residence would at least give them enough time to escape.
Inside the tent, Sang Luoluo suddenly shivered, looked at Sang Yunpu beside her, and asked in confusion, "Brother, can you feel the temperature dropping?"
Sang Yunpu nodded. "It's five degrees colder today than yesterday, and it will drop even further tomorrow. Winter is coming."
"Oh," Sang Luoluo replied somewhat unhappily, the sudden coolness making her a little uncomfortable.
Sang Yunpu then sneezed.
I put on an extra layer of clothing.
Sleeping in the tent, Sang Luoluo took out two blankets from her spatial storage, one for each of them.
My watch beeped, notifying everyone that temperatures will gradually drop over the next ten days, so please take precautions against the heat.
Sang Luoluo checked her watch and saw that the outside temperature was currently 15°C, and it might be even lower in the mornings and evenings.
They'll probably be staying in this open space for a while longer, so we need to figure out how to keep warm.
Sang Luoluo slept all day and was more energetic in the evening. When she talked to Sang Yunpu, she noticed that his voice sounded nasal and he sneezed twice.
Seeing this, Sang Luoluo brought him a cup of hot water and gave it to him to drink.
Then, I took out a portable battery from my storage space, plugged it in, and turned on the electric cooker to make him some ginger soup.
It was so late when a commotion broke out outside. Sang Luoluo peeked out, and Sang Yunpu followed her out to see what was happening. Two groups of people were fighting over a blanket. It had gone beyond a mere argument; they were now fighting to the death.
Sang Luoluo was startled and somewhat frightened.
Sang Yunpu could tell that these people were not to be trifled with. In the distance, two more people were walking from tent to tent, checking if there was anything good in each tent.
Sang Yunpu said, "We'll take turns sleeping, with one of us keeping watch. I'm afraid those guys will target us."
As he spoke, he took the laser gun out of his bag and placed it under his pillow.
Sang Luoluo nodded.
She slept all day and let Sang Yunpu sleep at night while she kept watch. Sang Yunpu drank ginger soup and then quickly rested.
Sang Luoluo listened to the noises outside and dared not sleep.
As the night wore on, Sang Luoluo sensed something was amiss. She looked up and saw two tall men lift the covers of their tent, their eyes fixed on the blankets and power banks inside, their gazes filled with longing.
"Hey, little sister, your blanket is nice."
As one of them finished speaking, he reached for their blankets. Sang Luoluo, annoyed, looked at them firmly and said, "I'm a member of the Guard. Are you two sure you want to mess with us?"
"Oh, a little brat, and she calls herself a member of the Guard? Who are you trying to fool?"
"That's what the other man said."
The noise woke Sang Yunpu.
Sang Yunpu immediately sat up, one hand already touching the laser gun beside his pillow. He was ready to shoot if they dared to come in.
Seeing their disbelief, Sang Luoluo took out the Guard badges beside her and showed them. "See them?"
"Uh, it really is..."
Another person nudged their accomplice's arm and interjected, "If you say so, then so be it. You might have stolen this medal. Who would believe a little brat like you is part of the Guard?"
As he reached for their blankets, Sang Luoluo pulled out a laser gun and pointed it at his head. The man hesitated for a moment, but Sang Luoluo didn't hesitate and fired a shot at his wrist.
The laser immediately pierced his wrist, and his right wrist was bleeding profusely and was now useless.
Sang Luoluo said coldly, "Do you believe me now?"
The two never expected that this little girl would have a laser gun. No matter how weak she was, with a laser gun, the two of them couldn't handle her.
Sang Yunpu watched them from the side and shouted, "Aren't you leaving? Want another shot?"
"No, no, no, I'm leaving now, I'm leaving now."
Ignoring their injuries, the two quickly fled the scene.
Sang Luoluo breathed a sigh of relief, realizing that things couldn't continue like this. The two people had clearly slowed their pace, and if she hadn't suddenly noticed them, it might have been too late.
This commotion woke Sang Yunpu up. Sang Luoluo looked at the tent top and said, "I wonder if those two will retaliate? But if we kill them, we'll be in trouble too. Killing isn't allowed in the base."
Sang Yunpu also knew about this, "We'll talk about it tomorrow."
That's all we can do, Sang Luoluo thought, and couldn't help but think of Chuanchuan in her space. If Chuanchuan Chuanchuan were by her side, she would be alerted by the slightest noise outside.
Thinking about this, Sang Luoluo made a decision, "Brother, there's something I've never told you."
"What is it? Haven't you told me enough things already?" Sang Yunpu was already used to it.
Sang Luoluo sat up and took the Chuanchuan out of her spatial storage.
The dog was overjoyed to see its owner suddenly Chuanchuan, but the next second it smelled a stranger's scent, its expression changed instantly, and it barked incessantly at Sang Yunpu.
The little thing isn't very big, but it has a loud voice.
The sound was so loud that everyone nearby could hear it.
Where did that dog barking come from?
Whose dog is this?
Sang Luoluo immediately covered Chuanchuan's mouth to prevent it from making a sound, but it still stared at Sang Yunpu with a very wary and aggressive look.
Sang Yunpu was also stunned. In that instant, he had considered that Sang Luoluo might say anything, but he never expected that she would suddenly take out a dog. You know, in a wasteland world where people can't even get enough to eat, only the upper class can afford to keep cats and dogs.
He had only seen it in videos online.
He asked the same question as everyone else, "Where did this dog come from?"
Sang Luoluo could only use the black market as an excuse, saying, "I bought it from the black market the first time, and I've been keeping it in my space ever since. Its name is Chuanchuan."
"You bought... a dog..." Sang Yunpu instantly darkened. "Sang... Luo... Luo!!! We can't even feed ourselves, and you still went to buy a dog?"
Sang Luoluo felt a little wronged and said, "Brother, I want to raise one. It's so smart!"
After saying that, Sang Luoluo rubbed the dog's head and said softly, "This is one of our own, one of our own, don't bite anymore!"
Saying this, she released her hand from its mouth. Chuanchuan stared at Sang Yunpu and just opened its mouth to bark. Sang Luoluo patted its head and emphasized, "One of us!! This is my brother!"
"Waaah~" Chuanchuan responded with a wronged sound.
Seeing that the little thing wasn't big, Sang Yunpu reached out and picked it up. Chuanchuan little creature immediately cowered, tucking its tail between its legs and lowering its head, remaining silent.
As soon as he put it on the ground, the little thing started making warning whimpering noises at him.
Seeing how quickly it changed its expression, Sang Yunpu reached out and picked it up again. The little thing looked at Sang Luoluo with a wronged expression, without saying a word.
Sang Luoluo pointed at him, then at herself, "One of us! You idiot!"
"Waaah~"
Sang Yunpu put it down, and Chuanchuan became obedient. It tilted its head at Sang Yunpu, understood what its kin meant, and moved closer to Sang Luoluo, squatting down in front of her.
