"Why didn't you two run into each other?" Xu Lin sighed.

"If we were to meet, it would be a different story altogether."

The two men, wearing headlamps, entered the cave. Inside was an ordinary cave, devoid of any supplies or even a mouse.

However, it was quite cool inside the cave. Xu Lin took out two military coats from her spatial storage and put them on with Zhou Pin.

“This cave is pretty good, a natural refrigerator. If I can’t survive at the base, I’ll find a cave like this. Our Brother Long is quite good at finding places,” Xu Lin said while tapping on the cave wall.

"Here."

Zhou Pin touched a protruding stone, pressed his hand on the stone and rotated it, and the stone wall next to him slowly opened.

"High-class!" Xu Lin said.

"Let's light a torch and take a look first," Zhou Pin said cautiously.

Xu Lin took out a torch from her spatial storage, and Zhou Pin lit it.

"You're much better than Brother Long; you carry a mobile warehouse with you at all times."

"Absolutely, otherwise we wouldn't have been able to win over Boss Zhou."

Once inside, the layout becomes clearer, with each type of resource neatly categorized: food, clothing, daily necessities, and water, the source of life, which makes up half of all the resources.

The variety of supplies here is relatively abundant. Although vegetables and grains are relatively scarce, there are plenty of daily necessities, which is something that is easily overlooked.

They have needles of all sizes and specifications, threads of all colors and thicknesses, fabrics of all colors and patterns, and even sewing machines and accessories.

Xu Lin was very happy to see the sewing machine. Although she didn't know how to use it, she didn't hoard it, which was fine!

There were several boxes next to her. When Xu Lin opened them, she found they contained yarn in various colors and thicknesses, as well as knitting needles. She could start knitting a sweater.

The box also contained shoe-sewing tools such as shoe soles, awls, and crochet hooks.

I found seaweed in the food; I can start making sushi and nori rice rolls now.

Various models of light bulbs, switches, quartz clocks, and perpetual calendars are also good.

Perhaps fearing being trapped deep in the mountains and lacking social interaction, they have stocked up on a lot of toys and educational games, such as Huarong Road, Match-3, Link-Link, Checkers, Go, Gomoku, Chinese Chess, Military Chess, and Ludo—basically, all kinds.

There are also several large boxes of matches, candles, lighters, and kerosene lamps. A source of fire is also very important. Let's collect them.

Xu Lin was collecting supplies in the cave, while Zhou Pin went outside to dig up saplings. It was uncertain whether these saplings would survive the upcoming natural disasters, but they would certainly live a long and healthy life in Xu Lin's space.

After putting away all the supplies, Xu Lin thoroughly searched the cave again, making sure not to miss any corner.

"We've dug up so many trees, let's take a break."

When Xu Lin came out of the cave, Zhou Pin had already dug up about ten trees. They took out a bowl of strawberries, and the two of them sat at the cave entrance to eat them.

"I plan to plant more fruit trees in the space so that I can have free access to fruit."

"good."

"Grow some more mushrooms. They're easy to store, and after drying them, we can use them to exchange for supplies."

"There are many mushrooms on the ground here, let's collect some spawn."

After resting for half an hour, the two started working. Zhou Pin dug up trees and mycelium, while Xu Lin stored them in her spatial storage. She also dug up medicinal herbs. They were busy until noon.

Because she had done physical labor in the morning, Xu Lin took out four dishes and a soup from her space at noon: braised beef, sweet and sour fish, sweet potato stewed with pork ribs, stir-fried bean sprouts with vinegar, and lamb offal soup.

"The vegetables are really tough today!" Zhou Pin said, looking at the vegetables on the moisture-proof mat.

"The morning is all physically demanding, so make sure you get plenty of nourishment."
