"...Ninety-seven, ninety-eight, ninety-nine..."
Tang Li was doing push-ups in her bedroom.
Although she was surrounded by basins of ice water and two high-power fans blowing air, under the extreme heat of the peak season, combined with constant exercise, Tang Li was still drenched in sweat.
Sweat dripped incessantly from her face and body.
The yoga mat beneath her was already covered in a layer of water, all from the sweat she'd shed while doing push-ups.
Before this, she had also done horse stance training, squats, sit-ups, and planks...
Tang Li was practicing every exercise that could improve strength.
With each exercise she performed, her sweat would drip without pause.
Tang Li could only drink more water to compensate, pausing occasionally to retrieve cold drinks from her spatial storage and fruit platters she had previously chilled in the refrigerator.
No matter how hot it was, no matter how much she sweated, Tang Li gritted her teeth and persisted.
Because she knew that only by possessing a strong body could she survive longer in the future apocalypse!
Therefore, for the past three days, Tang Li had been vigorously training like this every morning. kuAiδugg
"One hundred!"
With the last number announced, Tang Li once again pushed her tired body up into a standard push-up position.
At this moment, she was wearing a breathable sports bra on her upper body and quick-drying three-quarter length compression shorts on her lower body, with a hair tie on her head.
Her ponytail, caught by the strong winds from the two high-power fans, fluttered continuously.
Her two slender legs were straightened, her muscle lines faintly visible, and her arm muscles had transitioned from soft to firm.
This was the result of her training over the past three days.
After completing the 100 push-ups, Tang Li instantly released her tension and collapsed onto the ground, exhausted.
But she didn't lie there for more than a few seconds before propping herself up again.
Dragging her sore and tired body, she did a set of stretches before rolling over and sitting up.
She took out a bottle of chilled mineral water from her spatial storage, opened it directly, and drank it down in gulps.
As the ice-cold mineral water flowed down her throat, Tang Li felt instantly refreshed.
She looked up at the sky outside the window. It was still overcast, but no longer as dark as night.
It seemed the typhoon was about to leave.
But the typhoon was merely the prelude to the catastrophe in City A; its departure was not the end, but the beginning of another natural disaster.
"I wonder if the rescue team can arrive before the thunderstorm tomorrow," Tang Li murmured to herself with some concern.
If the rescue team did not arrive before the thunderstorm today, then for the next period, those without water and food would likely resort to desperate measures.
Over the past two days, the rainfall in City A had varied, but it wasn't as heavy as on the first day.
However, because upstream rainfall was channeled into City A, even though City A was coastal, the water level was still slowly rising.
By now, it had reached the eighth floor.
Tang Li took out a chilled wet towel from her spatial storage, wiping the sweat from her body as her thoughts drifted.
"Guoguo should have received her rescue supplies by now, right?"
Tang Li remembered that in her previous life, the rescue team had gone to Tang Guo's location around this time.
Just then, Tang Li's stomach rumbled.
She glanced at the time; it was already 11 o'clock, time for lunch.
Tang Li wiped the residual sweat from the yoga mat with the towel in her hand.
Dragging her exhausted body, she turned the fan's head, sat by the bed, took out the foldable table from her spatial storage.
She then retrieved a pot of cold cooked white rice, a bowl of clear lamb rib soup, a plate of braised beef, a plate of cold mixed pig ears, and a plate of stir-fried green peppers with shredded potatoes from her spatial storage, along with an empty bowl, and began to serve herself and enjoy the meal.
While eating, Tang Li's hands, holding the rice bowl, were trembling.
After every workout, the soreness in her body urged Tang Li to train even harder.
This was the last relatively peaceful period before the complete collapse of social order.
Tang Li had little time left to train without regard for her physical exertion.
Once social order began to break down, Tang Li would have to maintain peak physical condition to cope with the constant dangers that could arise at any moment, and she wouldn't be able to train until her body was completely depleted as she was now.
She ate five bowls of rice consecutively, finishing all the dishes and soup on the table, and only then did Tang Li feel her stomach was full.
Since Tang Li started exercising, her appetite had suddenly increased, and she had also started to prefer eating meat.
She wasn't sure if this was a common state for people who engaged in strenuous exercise and body training, but it was how she felt.
Tang Li reclined comfortably on the bed, reaching out to touch her stomach.
Accidentally, her hand brushed against something hard.
