341, July 31st, afternoon.
Thick smoke billowed from downstairs at Tang Li's apartment.
However, Tang Li was unaware of this at the time.
The living room window of Tang Li's home was tightly blocked by heavy curtains.
Inside the living room, the lights were as bright as day.
The sofa, coffee table, refrigerator, and other items had disappeared again.
In their place were wall panels, a table by the wall, and glass bottles on the table.
Tang Li was holding a handgun, aiming at the glass bottle on the table.
Rumble—
Thunder sounded outside the house.
Bang!
At the same time, Tang Li pulled the trigger, and the bullet shot out, grazing the glass bottle on the table and hitting the wall panel.
Seeing this, Tang Li lamented, "Just a little bit more and I would have hit it."
Due to the tense atmosphere in the building, Tang Li did not dare to train as intensely as before, only completing her daily routine training to conserve energy and prepare for any potential danger.
The thunder outside the window perfectly masked the sound of Tang Li practicing her shooting.
Therefore, Tang Li had spent a lot of time on shooting practice these past few days.
After a period of practice, Tang Li's shooting accuracy had improved significantly, but it was still not high enough.
The handgun in her hand was out of bullets.
Instead of changing the magazine, Tang Li directly put the handgun back into her space and replicated a new, fully loaded handgun from it.
As she raised the gun again, aiming at the glass bottle not far away, and preparing to shoot when the thunder sounded...
Suddenly, there was a banging sound at the door.
"Bad news! There's a fire downstairs! Hurry and help put it out!"
An anxious shout came from outside the door.
"A fire?"
Tang Li was startled by the words.
"Yes, it's on the 12th floor! Quickly grab your buckets and go help!"
The person outside the door said hurriedly, then left.
Tang Li felt a sense of confusion: "Why wasn't there anything like this in my past life?"
"Could it be because I was reborn, or because I killed those thugs, causing a butterfly effect?"
However, Tang Li did not delay. She quickly put away the handgun and the items in the living room.
She glanced out the window and saw thick smoke billowing from downstairs; the fire was significant.
A fire was no small matter; it could easily burn down the entire building!
Especially now, with floods on all sides and thunderstorms outside, there was nowhere to escape!
Tang Li did not want the place she was currently living in to be burned down.
Even though she had a speedboat in her space to escape, under the continuous lightning and storms outside, she could only flee to other buildings within the community.
In that case, she would have to crowd with others, which would be very inconvenient for her.
Thus, Tang Li quickly replicated two buckets of water from her space and hurried downstairs.
The water stored in the fire hydrant had all been sprayed out, but the raging fire had not yet been extinguished.
Everyone could only use their own buckets and rainwater collected from outside the windows, splashing it towards the burning area.
When Tang Li arrived, she saw a familiar figure directing everyone in fighting the fire.
This person was Zhang Yan!
Seeing Tang Li arrive with two buckets of water, Zhang Yan quickly had someone take them.
He then gave Tang Li two empty buckets and said, "Little girl, quickly find a window to collect rainwater. Shout when you've filled it, and someone will come to get it."
Tang Li glanced around. The people going in and out to fight the fire were middle-aged men, the ones running back and forth with water were young men, and those by the windows collecting rainwater were the elderly, children, and women.
Seeing everyone working in an orderly fashion to put out the fire, Tang Li felt a sense of relief.
Knowing the urgency of the situation, Tang Li did not say much. She took the empty buckets and found a window, extending the buckets out to collect rainwater.
Once filled, she would shout, and someone would bring new empty buckets and take away the filled ones.
Tang Li only needed to stand by the window and continuously collect water.
With Tang Li's strength, this task was naturally not strenuous and was even very easy.
However, seeing others' arms begin to ache after a prolonged period of collecting water, Tang Li also mimicked them, occasionally rubbing her arms.
After an unknown amount of time, cheers erupted from the fire scene:
"It's out! It's out! The fire has been extinguished!"
Everyone present cheered.
Tang Li was infected by the crowd's spirit and felt a little more relaxed.
Since the incident where the thugs had killed people, the tense atmosphere in the building had been swept away.
This could be considered a blessing in disguise.
As everyone's emotions were high, Zhang Yan stepped forward.
"With everyone's concerted efforts, we extinguished the fire in just one hour!"
"Everyone, tell me, haven't we gone through life and death together?"
Listening to Zhang Yan's impassioned words, the already excited crowd responded in unison:
"Yes!"
Tang Li observed Zhang Yan's actions and looked at the enthusiastic crowd, suddenly realizing something...
