The first day of collecting supplies together ended earlier than expected.
At 3 p.m., the group began its return journey.
On the way back, the convoy stopped in front of a bookstore located in front of a residential building.
This is an independent bookstore operating on a social media influencer model.
Su Li thought about it for a moment and realized that this bookstore was indeed quite famous in Yucheng!
Because the bookstore owner had been live-streaming the opening process online before the bookstore even opened, both the atmosphere and the decorations in the store were filmed in a very stylish way.
After opening, they frequently held book club events.
So after the bookstore opened, it became quite popular for a while in Yucheng, a small fifth-tier city.
Because the customers are mostly young people, the books are mostly recently popular online works by famous people, essays and poems, and some of the most popular novels.
This was exactly what Su Li wanted to do—find some things for her team members to pass the time!
So a group of people went in and collected all the books in the store. Since many of the books were duplicates, they didn't sort them while collecting them, planning to do so later when they got back.
As she got back into the car, Su Li let out a heavy sigh of relief. Today's busy day was finally over!
On the return trip, Lin Dong, representing their team, sat in the lead car with Lu Yu, allowing Su Li to close her eyes and catch her breath for a while.
But she didn't actually rest. Taking advantage of this time, she entered the space and took a look at the situation inside.
We received a considerable amount of supplies from the two factories today, plus seven large box trucks, so the total value is estimated to be quite high.
Su Li first glanced at her current spatial experience points:
[Current space, awaiting upgrade, current experience]
The value is not low, but the experience points still increase slowly.
You'll have to go to a jewelry store, or a bank vault, or... a museum!
However, since we are still forming a team, it's really inconvenient to go to these places, and it would be troublesome to explain!
We'll have to wait until we get to Tongcheng to discuss it further.
The convoy slowly came to a stop on the road outside the media company.
Lu Yu and his men cleared away the surging zombies one by one. Su Li and Bai Feng put away their cars. The group quickly passed through the branches of the giant mutated plant and finally returned to the entrance.
However, just as they opened the door, the sound of a car driving suddenly rang out on the road outside, and the group of people couldn't help but perk up and look in that direction.
Perhaps it was just a passing car?
But Su Li quickly dismissed the idea!
The car seems to have stopped!
"Go in first!"
Su Li said softly, then picked up Xuan Qing from beside her leg, glanced at the group on her side, and quickly went inside.
Lu Yu watched her actions without saying anything, then waved to his team, and the group quickly entered the house.
After everyone entered the house, Lu Yu led Bai Feng and Cheng Jie to follow Su Li and the others up to the second floor, where they went to the window.
Su Li lifted the cut cardboard and looked out. Soon, she saw a group of people slowly emerging from behind the mutated plants!
When they went out in the morning, Lu Yu had someone clear away the small branches of the two huge, rotten mutant plants in front of the door, so that people could at least squeeze through the gaps in the trunks.
Unexpectedly, this has now made it easier for others to enter!
but……
Su Li looked at the group of people who appeared downstairs and suddenly frowned slightly!
It was actually... Su Ling?
The number of people in her group hadn't changed much; it was about the same as when I last saw her.
The group seemed to be in relatively good spirits. Although they looked travel-worn, they were probably not hungry.
Su Li naturally knew that her provocative words last time would not cause long-term problems between Su Ling and her followers.
After all, Su Ling was reborn. As long as he could help those people learn some things about their past lives, they could find more ways to survive.
Even if her words caused a rift between Su Ling and Zhao Gan because of that conflict, it would only be a rift in their relationship. As long as each person still has value, neither Su Ling nor Zhao Gan would easily disappear from that group!
"So, has someone else moved in here? Or did the group that escaped this morning come back?"
Behind the window on the second floor, Su Li and the others had previously made three holes to look out.
Su Li, Lu Yu, and Lin Dong were occupying the space, and Bai Feng waited for a while without the three of them speaking. Curious, he scratched his head and couldn't help but ask!
"He's new here, but we're old acquaintances!"
Lin Dong had already seen what the person downstairs looked like. Although he was surprised to have bumped into Su Li's "older sister" again, he wasn't very curious, so he moved aside.
Upon seeing this, Bai Feng quickly stepped forward and peered through the small hole that only allowed an eye to be seen.
Su Ling and her group happened to be standing outside the main entrance downstairs at that moment.
"The view from the first floor is blocked by the wall coverings inside, and the windows upstairs are covered with cardboard, so there must be someone inside."
Outside the door, Zhao Gan looked at the gate, which was blocked by cardboard, and spoke softly.
After he finished speaking, a boy standing next to him looked at the fresh brain matter on the heads of the several fresh zombie corpses on the ground and nodded in agreement:
"The bloodstains on these zombies are very fresh and haven't dried yet, so they were obviously just cleaned up."
After saying that, he turned his gaze to the door in front of him: "The people inside are either very strong or there are a lot of them."
The group of people only briefly observed the exterior of the media company, which concealed its interior, before quickly heading to the left.
Since we don't know what the people inside look like, it's best not to provoke them.
Su Ling walked behind Zhao Gan and couldn't help but glance at the two-story shop in front of her before leaving.
Perhaps it was because the cardboard on the second floor was so well-sealed that she always had an urge to break through the barrier and peek into the secrets.
I always felt like there was something very important hidden inside!
However, what Su Ling didn't know was that Su Li, who was standing behind the second-floor window, raised her eyebrows in surprise!
Su Zhiquan!
The original owner's scumbag father is also in the team!
When Su Li met Su Ling before, she didn't see Su Zhiquan, so she guessed that they must have been separated at that time.
Su Li doesn't quite remember how the book describes the reunion between this scumbag father and Su Ling.
But she remembered that this person didn't die in the end.
After all, he was the father of the female protagonist in the original book.
The original book consistently portrays the affair between the scumbag father and stepmother as a matter of love over marriage, with the unloved being the third party, and Su Zhiquan being the legitimate heir to the original owner's mother's property.
So, apart from the original owner of this body, the original female protagonist's family—parents and brother—all lived smoothly to the end under her protection!
However, at the very beginning of the apocalypse, due to the changes brought about by the transmigrator Su Li, Su Ling lost many opportunities, whether it was Xuan Qing, Lu Yu, or Lin Dong.
I wonder if they'll be able to live to the end as smoothly as they did in the book!
