Chapter 19 It’s time to improve your strength!

The store was a mess.

Shelves collapsed, merchandise scattered all over the floor.

Trampled, torn, and stained with blood.

Most of the food had already gone rotten and gave off a disgusting sour smell.

Bai Li's heart sank.

She suppressed her disappointment and the churning in her stomach.

Start searching carefully.

Target,

Sealed packaging, non-perishable food, and most importantly, milk powder!

The little ancestor has been hungry for almost a day.

She first searched under the collapsed shelves.

Use your claws to dig open the flattened potato chip bags and the deflated puffed food.

No.

She got behind the cash register.

Scattered coins, rotten receipts,

In the corner, she found several packages of dried fish pressed at the bottom, with the packaging still intact!

Still sealed!

Bai Li's eyes lit up instantly!

Although it is a small dried fish, it is high in protein and can quickly replenish physical strength!

She couldn't wait to tear open the package with her claws,

A rich, salty aroma with a hint of the ocean bursts out instantly!

She couldn't bear it any longer.

He started eating voraciously!

Crispy! Savory!

Although it was a bit fishy, ​​to Bai Li, who was extremely hungry, it was simply a delicacy! She quickly devoured the whole bag of dried fish.

It seemed as if a warm current was injected into every part of his body, and his exhausted physical strength was recovering rapidly!

She tore open the second bag and ate more slowly this time, savoring the hard-earned feeling of fullness.

With food in my stomach, my mind felt much clearer.

She carefully stuffed the remaining packets of dried fish into a small plastic basin nearby.

Then,

Continue searching for the most important target milk powder!

There is a small shelf of maternal and child products in the corner of the convenience store.

She looked in that direction.

The shelf fell over and things were scattered all over the floor.

Bai Li's heart sank little by little.

Are we going to return empty-handed again?

Just when she was about to give up,

Her claws touched a hard, square metal can!

Remove the debris on top and take a look!

A complete, sealed can of baby formula!

Although the jar was covered in dust, the lid was intact!

She doesn't recognize the brand.

But it has "Infant Formula" printed on it in big letters!

It’s milk powder!

And it's foreign stuff.

"Meow!"

Bai Li was so excited that she almost jumped up!

There is light at the end of the tunnel!

She carefully held the precious can of milk powder in her arms.

It's like holding a rare treasure.

With it, the little ancestor’s food supply is temporarily settled!

She searched carefully again, but unfortunately she couldn't find the second can or any other useful baby products.

But finding a can of milk powder and a few packets of dried fish is already a huge gain!

Bai Li didn't dare to stay for long. She put the milk powder can into a small plastic basin, put it together with the dried fish, then picked up the edge of the basin with her mouth and tested the weight.

A bit heavy, but acceptable.

She looked around vigilantly, and her [Danger Sense] remained stable.

She held the small basin in her mouth and slipped out through the side window again.

On the way back, you also need to be extremely careful.

The night grew darker.

Bai Li held the heavy basin in his mouth.

It is more inconvenient to move than when we came here.

She still uses the shadow jumping method,

Stop and go,

Relying on [Primary Danger Sense], he avoided a puddle of water that emitted a strong stench.

After bypassing a ruin where the roar of fierce fighting could be heard,

The moonlight occasionally penetrated the thick clouds, casting pale spots of light on the ground.

Bai Li's figure quickly passed by the edge of these light spots, like a silent porter.

finally,

The familiar half-collapsed basement entrance, which she had disguised with rubble and blood, came into view.

An indescribable sense of security came over her, and she quickened her pace.

Carefully, he pushed aside the rubble and leaves that were covering the area, held the small basin in his mouth, and nimbly crawled in.

The familiar basement smell mixed with the faint smell of biological weapons hit me in the face.

In the cardboard box,

The little guy seemed to be asleep, breathing evenly.

When Bai Li came in,

The big black eyes opened immediately.

In the dim light,

Looking at her accurately, his eyes full of undisguised worry and expectation?

When I saw the basin filled with milk powder cans and dried fish in her mouth,

Those big eyes lit up instantly!

Bai Li put down the small basin, lay down tiredly beside the cardboard box, and rubbed the baby's little hand gently with her head.

“Meow!”

"Sister is back."

"Look, milk powder! And my sister's snacks!"

She pushed the basin toward the cardboard box as if she were presenting a treasure.

The moonlight came through the cracks, illuminating her dusty yet sparkling eyes.

There is also the little face of the baby in the cardboard box, which finally relaxes with a hint of satisfaction and dependence.

At this moment, all the fatigue and thrills seem to be worth it.

Bai Li didn't care about herself and started to get busy immediately.

She picked up the bottle of mineral water she brought back from the park.

Although there are some stains on the bottle, the water inside is still clear.

She concentrated.

Primary purification technique!

A little spiritual energy was consumed, and a faint white light enveloped the bottle.

A few seconds later,

The water became clearer and more transparent, even with a barely detectable fresh scent, and was warmer overall.

Bai Li carefully used her claws to pry open the lid of the milk powder can.

The rich milky aroma spreads instantly!

She followed her memory and filled a small half cup of purified water with a duckbill cup.

Then scooped a few spoonfuls of milk powder into it.

This time, she learned from her last lesson and didn't dare put too much, so she kept the proportions moderate.

Put on the lid, hold the duckbill cup with your paws, and shake it with all your might!

This time,

There are no milk lumps, and what comes out when shaken is a uniform and delicate milky white liquid that exudes an attractive sweet fragrance.

"Meow!"

Success!

Bai Li is filled with a sense of accomplishment!

She held the warm sippy cup to the baby's mouth.

Ling Xiao couldn't wait any longer. He instinctively put his little mouth around the soft silicone straw and started sucking hard.

The warm milk with the familiar sweet fragrance slid into my throat, instantly soothing the burning sensation of hunger.

This time, there was no sticky feeling of inferior milk paste, only pure and satisfying milk fragrance, although it still could not be compared with the nectar of the fairy world,

But in these last days, this is the ultimate delicacy.

While drinking, he looked at Bai Li with his big eyes.

Bai Li looked at the little guy gulping down the food, feeling happier than if he were full himself.

When Ling Xiao was full, he burped contentedly.

Bai Li began to solve her own problem. She tore open a bag of dried fish and ate it voraciously.

The salty, fragrant and crispy dried fish quickly replenished her energy and revitalized her tired body.

Eat and drink enough,

Bai Li's eyes turned to the trophy hidden in the corner.

Five turbid crystal nuclei the size of rice grains,

And the cup of diluted spiritual liquid that emits a soft white light and a refreshing fragrance,

These are very attractive and will definitely bring great benefits once taken.

It's time to improve your strength!
