Tang Li busied herself until the living room was restored to its original state.
She glanced down at herself, noticing she too was stained with blood, so she went to the bathroom and wiped herself down with a cool towel.
She then washed the blood-stained clothes and towel clean with water duplicated from her space before returning them.
The reason for this was that Tang Li didn't want to take the bloodstains into her space, thus occupying its precious volume.
Initially, Tang Li would put her wet, discarded clothes directly into her space.
However, after doing so several times, she discovered that putting sweaty, wet clothes into her space also brought the sweat along.
By the time she realized it, a considerable amount of her sweat had accumulated in the space.
Tang Li, at this point, was unaware that items could be removed from her space. She could only let this sweat occupy the valuable space.
But after this discovery, Tang Li stopped putting wet clothes directly into her space. Instead, she would wait for them to dry before storing them.
The same principle applied to washing the blood-stained clothes and towel with duplicated water before returning them to her space.
Water duplicated from her space could be used to wash away bloodstains outside the space without taking up new volume when returned to the space. It simply returned to her person, so there was no fear of wasting space.
After changing into clean clothes, Tang Li felt refreshed.
Although cleaning had taken some effort, it hadn't required much energy compared to physical training.
By now, the soreness in Tang Li's muscles had subsided.
She put the ice water and power bank from her bedroom back into her space, duplicated new ones, and comfortably lay down on the bed again.
After this battle, Tang Li realized her strength had increased.
In her previous life, her strength had also grown after activating her space.
At that time, she had attributed it to the tempering she'd undergone for several years in the apocalypse, which had unlocked her potential, coupled with being able to eat well. She hadn't thought it was related to the jade pendant.
But now, she had only trained for three days, and the apocalypse had only just begun.
In these short three days, not only had she developed solid muscle, but she had also gained so much strength, and her recovery ability was so strong…
The only plausible explanation was that the jade pendant was playing a role.
"It seems this jade pendant, besides granting me space, has other effects and will continue to surprise me," she mused.
"Perhaps the space itself has other abilities that I'm not yet aware of and need to explore slowly."
Tang Li massaged her muscles with her hands as she pondered.
"In my previous life, I couldn't have developed such muscles because I lacked sufficient meat and didn't train relentlessly."
"In this life, with ample food and dedicated training, I've fully utilized the jade pendant's strength-enhancing effects."
"If I continue to train intensely and stimulate my body's potential while food is abundant, my muscles should become even more solid and powerful."
With this thought, Tang Li got up, preparing to train further.
For the past two days, Tang Li had been practicing these combat skills every afternoon.
One hundred jabs, hooks, and uppercuts each, followed by one hundred empty kicks of front kicks, roundhouse kicks, sweep kicks, and side kicks…
Today afternoon should not have been an exception.
However, her previous plan had been interrupted by uninvited guests.
But just as Tang Li got up, a voice boomed from outside the window:
"All residents, please proceed to the ninth floor to queue for rescue supplies!"
Tang Li sighed, "It seems today's training is destined to be interrupted."
The rain had lessened significantly, and the rescue team had also mentioned they would arrive today. Therefore, they used a loudspeaker on a drone to make the announcement instead of knocking on doors.
Tang Li felt relieved that the rescue team had arrived so early.
If the rescue team arrived before the thunderstorms, their time here could last longer.
Upon hearing the announcement, Tang Li quickly took off the sports bra and shorts she wore for training and changed into a looser outfit that concealed her impressive figure, hid her muscles, and put on a pair of sneakers.
She was still wary from the incident with Aunt Li Guilan last time.
She wasn't afraid of people who meddled, but rather of attracting undue attention again.
After all, in the apocalypse, keeping a low profile was key.
Being noticed meant trouble and danger.
After changing, Tang Li took a five-jin bag of rice from her space, grabbed a fan, and then went out.
