Li Xiao stood at the factory gate, while zombies roamed inside the walls. Sensing the presence of living people, they were already rushing out.

Cheng Shaolin stood next to her, protecting Li Xiao by his side.

Li Xiao and Cheng Shaolin exchanged a glance and rushed forward together.

Before long, they were standing in front of the factory gate. The gate was closed, secured with a large padlock.

Li Xiao put away the lock and pushed the door open to go inside. Cheng Shaolin could only marvel at how convenient it was.

The machines were covered in dust, but it was still a garment factory, and the production line was the same as before.

Walk straight to the back; there's a warehouse there, with neatly stacked cardboard boxes.

Li Xiao didn't even look at it before taking it and moving on to the next shop.

Seeing how efficient Li Xiao was, Cheng Shaolin asked curiously, "Xiao Xiao, is your space that big? Can it hold all this stuff?"

Li Xiao didn't speak, and Cheng Shaolin continued, "These are all clothes. Just stock up on a little bit, and leave room for food."

Li Xiao nodded, but didn't mention the exact size of her space. If she accepted too many things in front of him, Cheng Shaolin would become suspicious.

I haven't heard of anyone else having such a special ability yet, so if I were to be unconventional, it would attract too much attention.

Let's be more subtle and say less.

I already have a lot of clothes in my own space. I've collected a lot before, so it's okay if I don't need them anymore. There aren't many other stores anyway.

Cheng Shaolin followed behind Li Xiao, watching her wave her hand and everything in front of her vanish. He watched for a long time, still finding it amazing.

Is this what the book refers to as "a hidden universe within a sleeve"? It seems to be just like that.

His Xiaoxiao is like a fairy descended to earth, coming to the mortal world to undergo tribulations?

Will they leave? Cheng Shaolin broke out in a cold sweat; he didn't want to!

Li Xiao looked at her wrist, which had suddenly been grabbed, and stared at the person who had grabbed her hand, bewildered.

"What's wrong with you?" Li Xiao frowned as she looked at him.

Cheng Shaolin's eyes were filled with worry as he held her wrist tightly.

"Xiaoxiao, will you leave?"

Li Xiao: ?

Li Xiao was puzzled. Why did he suddenly ask such a question? "Where are we going?"

Cheng Shaolin looked worried. "Are you a fairy descended to earth and going back to heaven? Don't go, okay? I'll be good to you, really, I swear."

Li Xiao was taken aback for a moment, then smiled.

"How can you think like that? Fairy? Why don't you just say goddess?"

Cheng Shaolin was stunned for a moment, "A deity? You're a deity?"

Li Xiao was speechless; this guy was really getting stuck on this. She rolled her eyes and said to Cheng Shaolin irritably, "Are you stupid?"

Cheng Shaolin stared at Li Xiao with his deep eyes. "Am I stupid?"

Li Xiao was speechless at his stupid look. "What gods and fairies? Have you been watching too much TV or reading too many novels? What are you thinking? There are no gods or fairies here. What's so great about this place? There's nothing to eat or drink."

Cheng Shaolin paused. That's true. Now that this place is in the apocalypse, who would come here?

"So that means you're not leaving?" Cheng Shaolin was delighted. As long as she wasn't leaving, he didn't care if she was a goddess or not.

Li Xiao tilted her head and looked at him, snorted, and said, "Where are you going? I need to be able to leave on my own."

Cheng Shaolin quickly stepped forward, grabbed Li Xiao's hand and said, "No, no, we don't want to go anywhere."

"What's wrong with you? What are you thinking about at a time like this?" Li Xiao had no idea what was wrong with this person.

Cheng Shaolin looked at Li Xiao with embarrassment. He seemed to easily panic whenever he was around her, especially after learning about her secret.

It's fair to say he's plagued by anxieties and fears of loss.

"I'm just afraid you'll disappear. Now that you're so capable, I'm worried you'll suddenly vanish and I won't be able to find you."

Li Xiao was speechless. How could they possibly refuse to see him?

"Don't worry, I'm not going anywhere. Where could I go? You're overthinking it," Li Xiao reassured him.

Cheng Shaolin's heart immediately calmed down. He had finally found it, and he was afraid he would lose it again. He had to protect it carefully.

"Why think so much? Get to work," Li Xiao said irritably.

Cheng Shaolin hummed in agreement and chuckled. Seeing the zombies surrounding them again, his expression immediately changed, and he solemnly threw a fireball at the zombie opposite him.

In no time, the zombie was burned to ashes.

With his doubts dispelled, Cheng Shaolin felt much more at ease and worked with extra dedication.

Li Xiao shook her head helplessly as she watched Cheng Shaolin keep throwing fireballs.

There are two more shops ahead, one of which makes shoes, which is very useful. Shoes wear out easily, so it's good to have plenty on hand.

Li Xiao doesn't care about the code; he just collects them.

She let Cheng Shaolin walk ahead while she followed behind and stored the rest of the items in her spatial storage, making sure Cheng Shaolin didn't see them.

The same applies to the latter; it's either processed food or compressed food that provides satiety.

This time, Cheng Shaolin didn't mention taking up space and collected everything directly; compressed food is such a rare commodity.

Li Xiao happily finished collecting them, and didn't forget to tell Cheng Shaolin that she had piled them up very high.

Cheng Shaolin looked at the smiling young woman and felt very happy. As long as he didn't think too much about it, he was still the same gentleman.

The matter is settled, and there is no need to stay.

It was still early, not even 10 o'clock, so Cheng Shaolin decided to hurry on his way.

Li Xiao didn't have much to say, so she took out the car from before.

Cheng Shaolin's eyes widened. "You're still taking back the car?"

That's it, it doesn't make sense anymore. Li Xiao was also helpless; unless she didn't use it and didn't take anything from the space.

She sighed silently to herself, "This is so difficult."

He turned to look at Cheng Shaolin speechlessly. Cheng Shaolin seemed to understand something, but didn't say anything more. He took the keys, opened the car door, and got in.

Li Xiao sat in the passenger seat and looked at Cheng Shaolin.

Cheng Shaolin pretended not to see it and focused on driving.

Li Xiao sighed helplessly, "Sigh, this is so difficult."

Meeting a smart person who likes to use their brain is really mentally taxing.

Li Xiao smacked her lips. There was no other way. Being with smart people was always more comfortable than being with idiots.

She stopped thinking about it and decided to eat something to calm her nerves.

I took out a glass of iced milk tea. Ah, so refreshing.

He turned his head and asked Cheng Shaolin, "Want some? Iced."

Cheng Shaolin was numb and didn't want to say anything more, so he just nodded in agreement.

Li Xiao also gave him a cup. Holding it in his hand, the icy coolness immediately cooled Cheng Shaolin's burning sensation.

Sure enough, iced drinks are the most refreshing.

"Xiaoxiao, do you have any more? Keep it for yourself." He didn't want the young lady to have to drink it all. He wanted to save this good stuff for Xiaoxiao.

He's a man, so he can tolerate it. Xiaoxiao is a girl, and although girls shouldn't eat too much cold food, the weather is so unusual right now, and we don't know when it will end. Let's save it for Xiaoxiao.

Li Xiao was surprised by Cheng Shaolin's words, and the person slurping her milk tea stopped.

"Hmm. There's more, you can drink it."
