The afternoon followed the same routine as the morning, and we didn't head back until it was almost dark.
We were initially considering staying overnight, but after discussion, we decided against it.
Since we've already decided to settle down here, it's best to have a permanent place to live.
I'm always resting randomly outside, and I never feel settled down. There's always this feeling of wandering around.
We've returned to the building where we started. From now on, I'll come back here to rest every day before setting off again during the day.
After dinner, everyone helped make steamed buns.
Steamed buns require fillings, while steamed bread is simpler and less conspicuous when taken out.
People come here sometimes, and if you happen to run into them, there's meat to eat, so it's easy to get caught.
The men kneaded the dough, while the women helped steam it. Once steamed, the dough was placed in a prepared storage box.
After working for three hours straight, I filled eight boxes, each containing more than 60 steamed buns.
Each steamed bun was quite large, just the right size for a man to hold in one hand. They were firm, soft, and plump.
"Xiaoxiao, how many bags of flour have we used? How much is left? It's a bit much to eat like this, um," Xiao Peng said, scratching his hair, looking somewhat troubled.
Li Xiao understood that eating only white flour steamed buns was a bit of a luxury nowadays.
"How about this? I've collected some mixed grains here. Next time, let's mix them together and make some mixed grain steamed buns, okay?"
Xiao Peng's eyes lit up immediately. "Great! This is a good idea. I'm afraid if we eat like this, the flour will be gone in no time."
Li Xiao nodded, "Xiao Peng is doing this for everyone's own good."
Rice and wheat flour are hard to come by now. After we finish eating wheat flour, I'm afraid I won't be able to eat anything else.
Cheng Shaolin nodded and said, "Next time, we'll mix in some whole grains. White flour is too conspicuous."
It was good to have food, and even multigrain steamed buns were quite nice; no one had any objections.
Everyone is willing to eat for a longer period of time.
After putting all the boxes into her spatial storage, she asked Xiao Peng, "Would you like me to make some side dishes or soup?"
Upon hearing this, Xiao Peng thought it was feasible and nodded in agreement.
"Here's what we'll do, Xiao Peng, you'll keep watch now, and while you're at it, Shao Lin will take over your shift later."
"Okay, then I'll do it now."
Li Xiao took out some of each of the following: tomatoes, scrambled eggs, seaweed, dried shrimp, jellyfish skin, kelp, mushrooms, wood ear fungus, bamboo shoots, green beans...
Looking at the various items laid out on the table, no one could say anything.
Wow, so many! And all of them are good stuff.
Especially seafood, since there's nowhere to produce salt now, and not eating salt for a long time will make you feel weak all over.
With all this seafood, it'll be in high demand and everyone's scrambling to buy it.
Now that I see this, everyone says they're going to sleep, but I want to help cook.
Li Xiao looked at these people who all wanted to get their hands on the product with a sense of helplessness. Where was this? How could this be considered good? There were even more and better ones inside the space. Wouldn't that scare people to death?
Li Xiao doesn't dare to bring out any better ingredients now, for fear that they won't be able to accept them.
There were also fresh vegetables, which looked so fresh and vibrant that I really didn't dare take them out, at least not now.
Every day when I go into my online space, I pick vegetables and put them aside, hoping they'll look like they've been sitting there for a few days.
But the space is too great; even after a few days, it's still the same as when it was just picked. Li Xiao is now having a headache over this.
There's nothing I can do about the space being so great.
We can't take too much, or it will raise suspicion. We can only use up some valuable information, which is not easily discovered.
There's still a lot of useful information stored in the space; it's time to take some out and use some of it.
Seeing that no one wanted to sleep, Li Xiao took out a few more bags of rice.
Seeing the rice that had been taken out, Xiao Peng asked curiously, "What are you going to do with it, Xiaoxiao?"
Li Xiao gestured with her chin at everyone, "Since no one wants to sleep, let's cook some rice balls."
Hey, that's a good idea. We can't just eat steamed buns; we need to eat some rice too.
Finally, a new round of cooking began.
I made several thousand more rice balls, and since I ran out of boxes, I had to put them directly into my space in a steamer.
For now, there's no need to steam anything; we don't even have steamers left.
They were busy until now and finally finished. Everyone looked at each other and burst into laughter.
There's no one in this residential area, and few zombies either; otherwise, such a loud noise in the middle of the night would definitely scare people.
Cheng Shaolin took the night watch, while everyone else lay down to sleep. Soon, the sound of snoring could be heard.
Li Xiao woke up very late. Everyone got up late today because they were all busy until so late yesterday.
Li Xiao woke Tian Tian up, leaving just the two of them.
Tian Tian was still rubbing her eyes in a daze, but within two seconds she realized that she had to get up.
The two quickly got up to brush their teeth and wash their faces. They had collected these items and stored them in their spatial storage before, so now it was a good time to take them out and use them.
If you can be hygienic, then be hygienic; you have the means, don't you?
"Come on over," Xiao Peng urged them to eat breakfast.
Breakfast consisted of steamed buns and side dishes from last night, plus a rice ball that I hadn't finished packing last night and was saving for breakfast.
The two finished eating quickly, so as not to waste everyone's time.
"Slow down," Cheng Shaolin said, seeing that Li Xiao was eating too quickly and worried that she might choke.
"Hmm, no." Li Xiao nodded vaguely in response.
"Let's go, let's go in the same direction as yesterday." Yu Yanbin was the first to leave the room.
The group followed behind and filed out, and Li Xiao took out the car.
We'll continue searching in the same place as yesterday.
Li Xiao's map was always open; this area was full of factories of all sizes, but he didn't know exactly what they did.
We're now entering a restaurant, right next to the factory, presumably for the convenience of the employees. It's not very big, maybe 200 square meters, with about 7 or 8 tables.
This place may not have been searched yet. In the room filled with miscellaneous items, there are still quite a few supplies such as rice, flour, and soybean oil.
Li Xiao put all these things into the space, and everyone's faces lit up with joy.
Finally, they had some income; the fact that they were only spending money and not earning any made them a little anxious.
Li Xiao was also very happy. She loved collecting things, no matter what they were.
In a good mood, Li Xiao opened the map to see if there were any other small restaurants like this nearby.
Although it's small, the supplies are still decent.
Just a few seconds after she opened the map, while she was still looking at it, a large orange energy object appeared out of nowhere and headed towards her.
Li Xiao immediately sensed something was wrong and shouted, "Run! Something's coming!"
Cheng Shaolin had been standing beside her the whole time, and when he heard her suddenly shout loudly, he sensed something was wrong. Li Xiao had never acted like this before; this was the first time.
"What's wrong, Xiaoxiao? What happened?" he asked hurriedly.
The people walking ahead also stopped.
"Something's coming! Run!" She didn't have time to explain; she grabbed Cheng Shaolin's hand and ran forward.
Seeing the fear on her face, everyone had no reason to doubt her and quickly ran away.
