“No… don’t, don’t!”
Tu Ninh Ninh jolted awake from her dream, sitting up, her chest heaving violently. Beads of sweat trickled down her forehead, and her dark eyes were wide with surprise.
She hadn't yet recovered from the lingering aftertaste of the nightmare.
The curtains swayed, and the wind chimes hanging in the corner of the balcony also rattled in the breeze, emitting a "ding-a-ling-ling," "ding-a-ling-ting" sound.
It was clearly a clear, crisp sound, yet it sent shivers down her spine.
Tu Ninh Ninh's body trembled as she pulled her gaze away from the window, her heart filled with both fear and doubt.
A nightmare, was it really just a nightmare?
She had been dreaming this terrifying dream for a week straight; was that normal?
Moreover, in the dream…
Tu Ninh Ninh lowered her head to look at the jade pendant on her chest.
To know if it was real or fake, she just needed to test it…
She casually swept the glass on her bedside table.
With a crash, the glass of water fell, making a jarring sound. Soon, rustling footsteps approached from outside. "Miss?"
"It's nothing."
She bent down and reached out, touching a shard of glass on the floor. Her fingertip throbbed, and fresh blood welled up.
She quickly sat up, her injured finger clutching the jade pendant. The next sight made her eyes widen.
The jade pendant actually absorbed the blood!
So, that means… that means!
The dreams were all real?
The space was real, and her being pushed into a pile of zombies was also real?!
In her dream, she hadn't felt pain, but the terrifying, grotesque faces of the zombies surrounding her, gnawing and tearing, made Tu Ninh Ninh freeze, her hair standing on end.
According to what she saw in her dream, the apocalypse erupted on a full moon night. In just a few dozen seconds, the "heavenly dog" devoured the moon.
After the moonlight returned, the world was completely transformed, and hell had come to judge…
Today was the 20th, and the full moon next month would be the Mid-Autumn Festival!
There was still almost a month left; preparing now was still enough time.
Tu Ninh Ninh clenched her fist, and with a thought, she vanished from the room.
A sensation of weightlessness enveloped her, then her feet touched the ground again, her body nearly toppling over.
In her dream, Tu Ninh Ninh had seen herself possessing a space, but she had never seen what kind of space it was.
Stepping into it for the first time, she needed to assess it carefully.
The space was a vast expanse of green mountains, with a winding stream flowing down from them.
Roughly 60-70 *mu* of land had been tilled behind the mountain, and behind that, a towering retirement villa stood about 80 meters from the fields.
The entire space seemed boundless, but in reality, a layer of mist blocked the edges of the fields and mountains. Based on her online gaming experience, that was likely an impassable boundary.
Even so, the usable space encompassed over 100 *mu* of land, large and small, just like a miniature world.
If viewed from the outside, it resembled a farm. After observing the exterior, Tu Ninh Ninh re-entered the villa. The villa was a single-story building, featuring a living room, a master bedroom, a secondary bedroom, a bathroom, a kitchen, a study, and more. It had everything one could possibly need, and the space was far from small. The layout was similar to the villa at her maternal grandmother's farm, except for the bathroom and the study, which had been altered. Tu Ninh Ninh had a feeling it was all connected to the jade pendant she was wearing. The jade pendant was a birthday gift from her maternal grandparents when she turned one. Her mother was an only daughter, and this jade pendant was a family heirloom, passed down to their only granddaughter, Tu Ninh Ninh.
Speaking of her family background, Tu Ninh Ninh was the only daughter of the Tu Group, truly befitting a genuine young lady from a prominent family.
But as the saying goes, nothing in life is truly perfect.
