Disaster Apocalypse: Farming, Family, and My Hidden Secret Space

"Look, quickly!" The woman pointed to the place where they stored water inside the house, her eyes filled with surprise and disbelief.

The wooden bucket in the main hall was the only one openly placed by their family, containing merely the bottom layer of water. Just now, the children were extremely thirsty, and seeing her grandchildren's lips crack and continually bleed, she gritted her teeth thinking of drawing some water to boil for them to moisten their lips. But when she lifted the lid, she found the bucket was unexpectedly full, instinctively calling out to the children's father.

After the initial shock, the two almost simultaneously ran to the underground cellar where there were two large jars, three big wooden buckets, and ten large bamboo buckets.

It could be said that the cellar was piled with water and grain, with barely any room for their dozen family members to sleep, let alone any activity space larger than the size of a palm.

The couple anxiously descended into the cellar, under the astonished gaze of their son, daughter-in-law, and other children, they opened all utensils that could store water, then the family exchanged glances, doubting and questioning each other.

No one in the family had left the yard; there were always people at home, and because the children disliked the heat, they stayed in the cellar all the time. It could be said that even if a fly entered the house, it couldn't escape their eyes. But looking at the water jars and buckets brimming with water, they were both surprised and delighted.

All places capable of storing water, including basins, were filled to the brim, and these appeared under their very noses inexplicably.

"Dear," the woman looked helplessly at her husband, not knowing what to do, but as she looked at the buckets and jars filled with water, she involuntarily licked her lips.

They were really thirsty; it had been a long time since they drank a mouthful of water.

The man was also staring at the water, lost in thought.

"Mom and Dad, it's divine... It must be divine intervention, seeing us suffer sends us water, it must be like this!" A slightly younger woman suddenly shouted, with jubilance, and in her excitement, she knelt down, babbling and bowing repeatedly.

The daughter-in-law's words seemed to awaken the old woman suddenly, her eyes brightened as she looked at her eldest daughter-in-law.

"Yes, yes, it's divine intervention. These past days I've been praying to the divine, surely they heard the old woman's mutterings, intervened. Thank you, deities, thank you..." As she spoke, the old woman also knelt, chanting continuously.

This was the only explanation they could think of; otherwise, how these waters suddenly appeared in their home was unimaginable by anything short of divine power, given that rivers had dried up and there was no water everywhere.

Even if someone wanted to do good, it seemed impossible to fill all the water containers without alarming them simultaneously.

Furthermore, how unlikely is it?

How could there be such good people in the world, it's more credible to believe it's divine intervention rather than a human act.

With the old woman's kneeling, other family members seemed to be infected, all kneeling down.

Only such divine phenomena could explain this, including the head of the family, who also very devoutly kneeled, following the children's mother in chanting thanks to the divine.

This scene appeared simultaneously in every household in Wan Family Village, regardless of male or female, young or old, everyone bowed to the heavens again and again.

But Hua Jin and her father were unaware. Even if they knew, they'd be happy villagers found answers themselves, faith giving them a stronger motivation to live.

At this moment, father and daughter drove around various populated villages, at each place Hua Jin filled their water containers fully, waving a hand and leaving without a trace.

Thus, in no time the night passed, Hua Jin couldn't even remember how many villages they had visited, but people's joyful and hopeful looks upon seeing water were really clear to see, giving Hua Jin immense motivation.

Even so, it's not an easy work, lucky that the stored gasoline in her space was plenty, plus found from other vehicles, otherwise her process wouldn't suffice.

Halfway through, father and daughter entered the space for a satisfying meal before continuing.

Shanggu Town isn't large but not small either, and running through once spent quite some time.

"Next stop is Wang Family Village," Hua Chengtian said while driving.

"Wang Family Village," Hua Jin recalled, she had encountered the village chief of Wang Family Village with her grandfather on their last trip down the mountain, a friend of her grandfather's.

Hua Jin vaguely remembered her grandfather specifically reminding Wang village chief about water storage, wondering if their situation would be better, after all, Wang village chief appeared wise like her grandfather.

"Is it grandfather's friend's village?" Hua Jin still asked.

"Hmm," Hua Chengtian nodded, since he had visited Wang Family Village a few times because of father's relationship, it was quite familiar, the car moved smoothly.

Upon hearing, Hua Jin shared the previous encounter of Wang Family Village with her father.

"Dad, do you think Wang Family Village's situation might be better?"

Hua Chengtian thought for a moment then said, "Wang village chief is a wise man, since your grandfather reminded him, he surely made some preparations, didn't you also say that before the extreme heat a warning was given to the government. Even if he didn't prepare initially, the official message would ensure Wang village chief made preparations, their days should be better."

After all, that's not in their valley, without the anxiety of water use, the lake's water level didn't drop much in the valley.

But it's just that, even if they stored enough water amidst such times, they dare not waste it casually.

Agreeing deeply, Hua Jin nodded, while father and daughter chatted, soon the car stopped discreetly, at Wang Family Village.

But this time Hua Jin didn't immediately get out and store the car seamlessly like before, instead, her brows furrowed, her face turned serious.

"What's wrong, is there no one here?" Hua Chengtian tried hard to look towards Wang Family Village, but besides indistinct shadows of trees, there was only ink-like darkness.

Hua Jin shook her head, seeing this, Hua Chengtian too became serious, as his daughter sternly faced ahead, it was... something happened?

"What's the matter?" Hua Chengtian quickly asked.

"There's a water robbery, two sides are confronting each other, things are on the verge of eruption."

Because of the noticeably advantageous numbers of Wang Family Village, and weapons were sharper too, even the people looked noticeably better in vigor and spirit. Even if a fight broke out, in Hua Jin's view, the chance of defeat isn't significant, power lay there.

Hua Jin hesitated to help, thinking it over, ultimately decided to observe first and proceed with her tasks; if Wang Family Village couldn't hold, then assist.

Fights over water and food didn't surprise Hua Jin at all.

If she were on the brink of dying from thirst, much like losing her life, she too might turn frantic.

Now her task is to solve the root problem, quickly speeding up, once there's water, such conflicts should reduce significantly.

As the two sides faced off, Hua Jin and her father utilized the cover of night to stealthily enter Wang Family Village.

To say, because of this gang, it was much harder to enter than other villages, as the people of Wang Family Village were too cautious, it took some time just to avoid patrols.
