Chapter 89: Hungry

Little Black had become useful.

Ye Xingchen followed Little Black and watched Little Black use his dog nose to move on the ground. After walking for a long time, Little Black finally stopped and whimpered softly.

Ye Xingchen pulled Little Black back a little and took out a big shovel from the space to start digging.

After ten minutes, Ye Xingchen frowned.

At this moment, the sky was already beginning to brighten. They could already see around them, although it was still gray.

“No… It’s too slow to dig the snow manually like this…”

Ten minutes had passed, and Ye Xingchen had only dug a shallow pit. The newly fallen snow was loose and easy to dig, but the snow below had been pressed tightly.

“If there’s a bigger shovel… Wait, didn’t 1 bring in a few excavators yesterday?”

Ye Xingchen’s eyes lit up. He looked around to make sure there was no one around and quickly took out the excavator from the space.

Ye Xingchen broke the glass cover in the space and took it off the excavator. However, he was in a difficult position with the excavator.

He had never touched an excavator before. He didn’t know how to drive it at all!

Fortunately, he had downloaded a lot of information previously. After studying a video for an hour, Ye Xingchen finally started operating the excavator.

Little Black squatted by Ye Xingchen’s feet, and the excavator sank half a wheel into the snow.

Scoop after scoop of snow was dug to the side. Ye Xingchen was overjoyed. This was indeed much faster than him digging with a shovel.

After working for a morning, he saw the roof of a building. Ye Xingchen stopped the operation lever in his hand, took out two protein bars from the space, and took two bites. Then, he took out a piece of raw meat and threw it in front of Little Black for him to eat.

“Your nose is really sharp. Otherwise, I might not have been able to find the gas station this morning.”

After eating two protein bars, Ye Xingchen continued to dig down. The roof of the gas station was already out. At this time, they had already dug a deep hole in the snow.

The robotic arm continued to move down until he saw the original color of the ground.

When Ye Xingchen got out of the excavator, he looked up at the three-story-tall pile of snow behind him and could not help but shiver.

He had to hurry up. Otherwise, if the snow fell down, he and Little Black would be buried alive here.

Little Black sniffed the ground and walked around. Finally, he stopped at a place and whimpered softly.

Ye Xingchen placed his hand on the ground. He didn’t know if he could directly store the gasoline in his space from such a far distance.

At first, Ye Xingchen thought that he had failed and was thinking about whether he should dig deeper and dig up the snow behind him. However, ten minutes later, he suddenly sensed that something had appeared in his space. “Really? It can be taken in from so far away?”

Gasoline cans were stored several meters underground!

Ye Xingchen was overjoyed, but the moment he stood up, he felt dizzy.

“Strange, didn’t 1 just finish eating? Why am 1 hungry again…”

Not only was Ye Xingchen hungry, but his hands were also shaking.

He had no choice but to take out two more chocolate bars from his space and quickly ate them. Then more bars. He ate a total of ten Snickers bars before he finally stopped feeling dizzy.

Ye Xingchen didn’t dare to stay too long. After getting what he wanted, he immediately put Little Black back into his backpack and then controlled the excavator to fill in the snow that he had just dug out.

It was hard to dig, but it was fast to fill in. It was only five in the afternoon when everything was done.

“Let’s go. Let’s pack up and go home.”

After switching the excavator back to the snowmobile, Ye Xingchen put Little Black into his backpack. He wanted to go home and have a hot meal, but he didn’t realize that the person who had discovered his secret last time was hiding behind him and staring at him for the entire afternoon.

That person was somewhat surprised. After all, Ye Xingchen had also made things appear out of thin air like this last time.

Ye Xingchen sped all the way home. It was only seven o’clock when he reached home.

After parking the snowmobile, he handed Little Black to Lin Sijia and went upstairs to take a comfortable shower.

When he went downstairs, Lin Sijia was blowing on Little Black’s fur.

“You came down. Let’s eat first.”

When he came back today, Ye Xingchen took two bags of supplies and handed them to Zhao Hao for him to distribute.

Because there were no special circumstances yesterday, everyone only had an average portion of food.

After Ye Xingchen returned home, he was too lazy to go out and distribute the food to them. He simply gave the food to Zhao Hao. He also wanted to test Zhao Hao’s character to see if he would secretly hide some when faced with so much food.

Plates of home-cooked dishes was served. Ye Xingchen ate two bowls of rice in a row, but he still felt a little hungry. Lin Sijia watched Ye Xingchen eat mouthful after mouthful, and the joy on her face slowly turned into worry.

“Uh… Do you want more rice? I haven’t touched this bowl yet.”

Usually, Lin Sijia would cook enough for two people. Today, she had specially cooked more rice, thinking that the leftover rice could be used to cook porridge tomorrow morning.

However, it had already been eaten by Ye Xingchen.

When Ye Xingchen finished the third bowl of rice, the pot was already empty.

“It’s okay. You eat.”

Ye Xingchen frowned. He didn’t have the habit of eating too much, but it was strange today. He still felt a little hungry after eating three bowls of rice.

Seeing that the dishes on the table were almost finished, Ye Xingchen directly took out a plate of pickled fish, a plate of spicy chicken, and a large plate of beer duck from the space.

“There’s not enough food. Eat this.”

He took out two plates of fried rice from his space. Lin Sijia stared at Ye Xingchen worriedly. In the end, she put down her bowl and chopsticks.

“What’s wrong with you? Stop eating… Are you feeling unwell anywhere?”

After Ye Xingchen finished the last mouthful of food on his plate, he looked up at Lin Sijia with a solemn expression.

“I’m not sure. I was also very hungry this afternoon. My hands were shaking from hunger. In the end, I ate ten Snickers bars in a row before I barely recovered.”

Lin Sijia was puzzled. She pulled Ye Xingchen’s hand in front of her and checked his pulse. Her expression became more and more strange.

“From the pulse, you seem… Very healthy.”

“Let’s eat first. I won’t go out tomorrow. I’ll stay at home and take a good look at the situation.”

The meal ended with Ye Xingchen eating three bowls of white rice, two plates of fried rice, half a plate of pickled fish, twelve cola chicken wings, a plate of ribs, a plate of tomato scrambled eggs, half a beer duck, a plate of spicy chicken, and a plate of sausages fried with snow peas.

Lin Sijia was very worried, and the meal was tasteless to her.

Little Black was placed in Lin Sijia’s room that night. Ye Xingchen was very afraid that something was wrong with him..
