1940s: I supported my wife and sister-in-law by hunting.

Chen Gaoshan was panting heavily, feeling anxious and flustered. He was afraid of delaying too long and also afraid that his father would disagree, so he dared not linger.

"Dad, you can drive the sled back by yourself later. I have important business to attend to in town, so I won't be going back to the village tonight. I'll definitely be back first thing tomorrow morning. When you get back to the village, be sure to let Mom, Xinghua, and Lianhua know so they won't worry."

His father would definitely disagree, and might even stop him on the spot.

Before Chen Laonian could react, he turned and ran.

"What the hell? You little brat, where are you running off to!"

Old Chen was stunned for a moment, then realized what was happening and immediately shouted in a panic. He reached out to grab his son, but only managed to grab air. Watching Gao Shan's figure disappear into the distance, he angrily chased after him.

But after chasing for only a few steps, he saw the remaining roe deer and wolf skins on the sled, and the horse tied up beside it.

These belongings are the lifeblood of the family. If they are lost, life will be even harder in the future. He simply cannot abandon them to chase after them.

Old Chen stood there, jumping up and down in anger, pointing in the direction his son had run off into, cursing through gritted teeth.

"That little rascal, he runs off and disappears in a flash! He's such a worrywart! If he gets back to the village, his mother'll be frantic with worry!"

···

Hearing his father angrily curse behind him, Chen Gaoshan mustered all his strength and ran away, completely shaking off his father's sight, and returned to the back wall of the police station.

After confirming that no one was watching, he hid inside the space.

He found a comfortable place to lie down and slept soundly for a long time. When he opened his eyes and looked at the live monitoring screen, it was just getting dark outside.

He reached into his pocket and found the flatbread his mother had given him before he left.

His stomach had been growling for a while, so he picked up a flatbread and ate some to stave off hunger.

There was no water here, so he choked on the food. It took a long time to pat his throat and finally calm him down. He burped for a long time. When we get back, we'll have to store some water in our space.

With nothing to do, he didn't stay idle. He took a scraper and cleaned the meat and fat off the wolf pelt he had stored in his space.

After finishing, he looked at the timer screen in the space, which displayed the time.

It was already 1 a.m.

Chen Gaoshan emerged from the space.

He walked quickly to the side of the street, moved two wooden tables for selling goods, and leaned them against the wall of the courtyard.

He climbed onto the table, stood on tiptoe, and peered over the wall, finally getting a clear view of the layout of the police station's backyard.

The building with guards is definitely a warehouse, and they're patrolling there. There's also a row of bungalows next to it.

Seeing the patrolmen at the door, Chen Gaoshan reached out and pushed over the stacked wooden tables.

"Clang!"

The sound was very clear in the middle of the night; even the slightest movement was amplified infinitely.

Almost at the same second that the sound was made, Chen Gaoshan immediately hid in the space.

The Russian soldiers at the warehouse gate were startled awake by the sudden commotion. They mumbled something in their English, gripped their guns warily, and quickly moved towards the direction of the courtyard wall from which the sound came to investigate. The place where they had been guarding the warehouse was now deserted.

It's now!

Seizing the opportunity, Chen Gaoshan immediately darted out of the space, crouched low, and ran wildly to the warehouse window.

He pushed open the window, braced himself on the windowsill, and jumped directly into the warehouse.

As soon as he steadied himself, the scene before him left Chen Gaoshan speechless.

It was a very large warehouse. He estimated that the police station's warehouse was more than 300 square meters. The floor was piled high with supplies, and sacks were stacked up to the ceiling, along with wooden and iron boxes of all sizes.

He didn't bother to open the box to see what was inside; he only had one thought in his mind.

Take them all!

These things were either supplies left over from ordinary people's lives, or they were looted from the people by the Russians.

"I'll take it! I'll take as much as you can!"

He reached out and touched the long wooden box, but as soon as he touched it, the box disappeared and was stored in his spatial dimension.

"That long box must be for a rifle!"

"We've struck it rich! We've hit the jackpot!"

As I watched the supplies being continuously stored in the space, the feeling of suffocation that I had previously thought the space was just for show disappeared.

Instead, I felt exhilarated, finally making up for all the frustration I had felt before. This incredible space finally came in very handy!

Even a small town police station has supplies; you can imagine how much good stuff the Russians looted from us and shipped back to their country!

He moved the supplies from the warehouse into the storage space as quietly as possible.

In just ten minutes, he had emptied more than half of the warehouse. Looking at the layer of sacks he left behind, he realized that it contained grain.

He left it there on purpose, glanced around one last time, and went straight into the space. Before leaving, he even picked up an iron crowbar that was leaning against the ground.

Once inside, he finally breathed a sigh of relief and eagerly picked up a nearby wooden box, prying it open with a crowbar.

It was a whole box full of canned pork!

Looking at those large sacks again, and untying the knot in one of them, rice that wasn't particularly white was revealed.

Chen Gaoshan stared at the rice in the sack and couldn't help but swallow.

Their black soil is originally used to grow rice. When that bastard was in power, he implemented food control. Rice was only for them to eat, and the common people were strictly prohibited from eating rice. Anyone found eating rice, or even having rice in their vomit, would be dragged out and shot. The common people could only eat coarse grains such as cornmeal and sorghum flour.

Now that he has so much rice, he can finally eat to his heart's content!

Pry open the remaining boxes one by one.

Type 38 rifles, Mauser pistols, hand grenades, Type 99 light machine guns; further on, there were iron barrels, and when the lids were lifted, there was a pungent smell of kerosene, and they were full of kerosene.

In addition, military shoes and cotton socks.

Unexpectedly, there was even a watch. Chen Gaoshan stared at the watch and almost burst out laughing. Here, people relied on looking at the sun and listening to the rooster crowing at home to tell the time. With a watch, he would never have to fumble in the dark to estimate the time again.

He became more and more excited as he looked at it, his mouth stretching almost to his ears, and he nearly laughed himself silly.

With so much food, canned goods, quilts, and daily necessities, if they were careful with their consumption, their family could eat it for ten years or more and still not finish it all.

"Damn it! All we have is a gun, no bullets. This thing's even worse than a fire poker, it's completely useless!"

"You bunch of old bastards, I curse you! I wish your sons would be born without an anus, all the men would die out, and all the women would be taken in by our fellow villagers!"

Finally, we found various types of bullets and magazines in the metal box at the back.

The supplies in this warehouse were nothing more than weapons, kerosene, grain, canned goods, quilts, and various daily necessities. It's easy to guess that some of them were left behind by the dog, and the rest were probably looted by the Russians from shops and homes in the town.

You can be as cocky as you want now, but after tonight, I'll see if you can still be so cocky!

As for fear, Chen Gaoshan wasn't afraid at all. He had his own space to save his life, and even if the Russians found him, he could just hide in his space immediately, and no one could hurt him.
