Zhang Yan tried to persuade her, unwilling to give up, "But these will eventually run out."
Tang Li smiled, "This sack of charcoal is enough for me to use for a long time."
"Uncle Zhang, don't worry. If these charcoal run out one day, I will definitely bring the wooden furniture from home to seek your help."
She added mentally, "That day will never come."
Hearing this, Zhang Yan could only offer an awkward yet polite smile.
"Alright, since you've said so, I won't try to persuade you anymore."
"In any case, on behalf of everyone, we welcome you to join our Self-Rescue Alliance at any time."
After Zhang Yan finished speaking, he left.
Tang Li opened the plastic lunchbox on the table. The sweet potato porridge inside was indeed good.
However, Tang Li did not eat it.
Although the rainwater had not yet been polluted and the air was relatively dust-free after several days of rain, Tang Li had already developed the habit of not drinking untreated water.
She would not eat porridge made directly with rainwater.
But she did not waste it.
She replicated a bowl from her space and poured the sweet potato porridge into it.
Once the great drought and famine began, this bowl of porridge would be considered very precious supplies.
In the following days, Zhang Yan did not visit Tang Li again, nor did anyone else knock on her door.
Ever since those burly men broke into the building to kill and rob, the atmosphere in the building had been tense. When the rescue team did not arrive on time, many people fell into despair.
At that time, Tang Li, fearing danger, stopped exercising with all her might, conserving her energy to deal with any potential threats.
Now, with the establishment of the "Self-Rescue Alliance" and the beginning of cooking food with charcoal, food supplies were temporarily sufficient, and the people in the building had calmed down.
Tang Li, on the other hand, could resume her strenuous exercises.
In these days, Tang Li continued to exercise her physical fitness in the mornings and practice combat skills in the afternoons. She also added several hours of shooting practice at noon, continuing to practice her marksmanship under the cover of thunder.
After so many days of training, Tang Li could now tolerate the level of exertion she had started with.
After exercising, her body no longer felt sore and weak.
To continue stimulating her body's potential, Tang Li began to increase her workload and sought out more challenging training programs to make her body feel refreshed again.
However, after increasing the workload, her body would re-adapt to the current level of exercise within a few days, forcing Tang Li to increase her workload again and again.
Tang Li also felt that the more the intensity of her training increased, the longer it would take for her body to adapt.
And as Tang Li's strength increased, her appetite also grew.
This resulted in her weight increasing.
But miraculously, her figure remained slender.
However, after her muscles reached a certain point, they did not continue to bulge, nor did she become the "Hulk" she had feared. They simply became more firm and hard.
From the outside, her muscles looked like those of a normally exercising girl. But if one were to touch them, they would find that her muscles were as hard as stone.
Tang Li felt that if she, in her current state, were to return to her previous life and face the demons who had severed her arm and gouged out her flesh, she would be confident enough to annihilate them!
As long as she didn't encounter professionally trained individuals, she could take down a hundred ordinary people alone without any problem!
But Tang Li was still not content with her current state. She continued to train furiously, constantly improving her physical fitness.
This was because the dangers she would face in the apocalypse were too numerous.
Even if she could take down a hundred ordinary people, in the apocalypse, she might face a thousand, ten thousand ordinary people, or even a hundred professionally trained individuals.
Furthermore, there were natural disasters that could occur at any moment, and various toxic creatures spawned by these disasters...
She had to become stronger step by step to increase her chances of survival in the apocalypse!
And that was only to increase her chances of survival.
No one could guarantee their survival in the apocalypse.
Even Tang Li, with her memories of her past life, her ability to replicate supplies, and her strong physique, dared not guarantee it.
Besides her body becoming increasingly stronger, Tang Li's marksmanship also became more accurate.
Perhaps with the enhancement of the jade pendant, Tang Li was now hitting glass bottles with her handgun in her room with a hundred percent accuracy.
It was just that the training ground and firearms were limited now, making it impossible for Tang Li to conduct further training.
In the year 341, on August 12th, the thunderstorm that had lasted for more than half a month finally stopped!
For the next two days, Tang Li also ceased her shooting training and focused solely on physical exercise.
