Jiang Li spent two more leisurely days at home.

On the third day, at her insistence, Ye Jingmo agreed to go out of the ruins with her to search for iron pieces.

Now we have heat-resistant clothing

What is a scorching, blinding sun to other scavengers during the day is like a giant light bulb to Jiang Li.

It can make travel more convenient for Jiang Li and Ye Jingmo.

Jiang Li and Ye Jingmo put on their heat-resistant suits and headed toward the nearest ruins in the villa area.

The scenery along the way was extremely desolate.

The road was full of potholes, with withered trees standing by the roadside, and occasionally dilapidated eaves could be seen.

There wasn't a soul in sight on the road.

There was only the lonely sound of the wind around, unlike before when it was surrounded by the chirping of cicadas.

After walking for about 20 minutes,

Jiang Li and Ye Jingmo arrived at their destination.

Instead of rushing forward to search the ruins, they found a corner of a wall that blocked out the sunlight and sat down to rest for a while.

Ye Jingmo found a flat stone, wiped the dust off it with his hand, and let Jiang Li sit down there.

Jiang Li removed her mask and took out a bottle of chilled lemon honey water from her spatial storage, handing it to Ye Jingmo.

"Brother Mo, drink some water to replenish your body's fluids."

Ye Jingmo took the water and poured it into his mouth. The icy drink made him crave the coolness.

Ye Jingmo restrained his desires, and stopped after taking two sips to quench his thirst.

Jiang Li, on the other hand, drank water almost greedily.

Seeing this, Ye Jingmo quickly took the water bottle from her hand.

Drinking a lot of water after exercise can put a significant strain on the heart.

Drinking a couple of sips of water should be enough to relieve the thirst.

After resting for five minutes, Jiang Li and Ye Jingmo began searching for what they wanted in the ruins.

Jiang Li took out white gloves from her backpack and put them on her.

This is essential protection when excavating rubble to avoid accidental contact with sharp objects and resulting injury.

In an era lacking medicine, one had to be extremely careful in everything they did.

The ruins being searched were formerly old residential buildings, many of which had security bars on their windows.

Security bars have a piece of sheet metal on top; if you can find a few pieces, you can easily make a cage for a guinea pig.

Jiang Li wasn't very lucky this time. At the beginning, she dug down a path for three or four meters but didn't find any sheet metal.

Below were cement blocks of varying sizes; she found nothing of any use.

Ye Jingmo, on the other hand, made a discovery; he found a piece of iron.

However, one corner of this metal piece is slightly damaged.

However, this is not a reason to complain.

Jiang Li thought for a moment and then started digging again about a meter away from Ye Jingmo.

She refused to believe that she would gain nothing today.

Pushing aside the thick layer of stones, Jiang Li saw a handle protruding from the ruins below.

I don't know what this is?

Jiang Li removed all the stones that were pressing on the handle, and soon the things hidden under the ruins were revealed.

This is a mountain bike of excellent quality. Despite the devastation of the earthquake, the frame remained undamaged, except for two flat tires.

Jiang Li patted the bicycle seat, her eyes revealing joy.

Once the bicycle tires are fully inflated, I can ride home in a bit.

The performance of this mountain bike will be much better than that of the ordinary bicycles in her space.

There are no seats in the back, so it can't carry passengers.

However, none of this is a problem. With some modifications, it can become a very suitable tool for travel after the apocalypse.

Jiang Li put the bicycle aside and then began digging into the ruins.

This time, after digging down about a meter, she finally found a piece of sheet metal, just as Jiang Li had hoped.

She carefully pulled the sheet metal out of the pile of stones with her hands.

The sheet metal has many scratches and some dents, but it is completely intact without any damage.

Jiang Li put it aside without any disgust.

Jiang Li felt that digging through ruins was a bit like the treasure hunt games she played as a child.

You'll never know what's buried in the ruins below; only by digging it up will you find out the whole story.

Although digging is hard and tiring, when you find something useful, it's like winning the lottery; the surprise and satisfaction are indescribable.

She became more and more addicted to digging, and didn't find it boring or tedious at all.

Jiang Li also dug up some small items under the rubble, such as candy, toothpick boxes, and cotton swabs.

Unfortunately, the candy had already melted in such hot weather.

She checked the candy's expiration date; it was still within the recommended timeframe.

Thinking that I could exchange it with the official site, I placed it next to the excavated items.

After digging for more than three hours, Jiang Li finished his work and harvested five pieces of sheet metal, a bicycle, a bag of candy, and a box of toothpicks, cotton swabs, and other small items.

Ye Jingmo looked up and saw Jiang Li's face, which was still red from the sun despite the mask covering it.

I'm worried about her back, which has only recently recovered.

He walked over to Jiang Li and took out a parasol to shield her from the sun.

Jiang Li looked up at the shadow that had appeared above her head, puzzled.

"It's almost noon. Let's rest and eat something before we continue digging."

Hearing Ye Jingmo's words, Jiang Li raised her hand and looked at her watch, which showed that it was a little past 11 o'clock.

It was indeed lunchtime.

Jiang Li nodded in agreement and went with Ye Jingmo to the place where they had rested earlier.

She took off her mask, plopped down on a rock, and leaned her waist against the wall.

As she sat down, an unnoticed soreness began to afflict her body.

Jiang Li relaxed her whole body, allowing her tense muscles to rest.

It's almost noon now, and the temperature has risen to its hottest point of the day.

Jiang Li took out a cooling spray from her spatial storage and sprayed some on her and Ye Jingmo.

Feeling the coolness, Jiang Li squinted comfortably.

Once she felt more comfortable, she asked Ye Jingmo:

"Brother Mo, what would you like to eat? I'll get it for you from my spatial storage."

I'll eat whatever you eat.

Just avoid anything with a strong smell.

Well, it's pointless to ask.

Ultimately, the choice returned to her own hands.

Jiang Li thought for a moment and took out the omelet rice she had made earlier from her spatial storage.

It's just a little different from regular omelet rice.

This omelet rice is made by frying egg liquid into a pancake, then filling it with rice, shredded cucumber, shredded radish, and dried pork, and then rolling it up.

Then cut it into small pieces, drizzle some tomato sauce on top, and it's ready to eat.

Jiang Li and Ye Jingmo started eating their lunch with toothpicks in hand.

The pancake skin isn't thick, but it's quite substantial.

Jiang Li added black pepper, salt, sugar, and a little sesame oil to the egg mixture for seasoning.

This gives the egg pancake a fragrant oily aroma without making it too dry.

When you chew the omelet rice, you can taste the crisp cucumber and radish shreds.

The sweet and savory pork jerky adds flavor to the rice, creating a complex yet harmonious taste.
