Tang Li did not care about what was happening downstairs, nor did she bother to inquire.
If she needed to know, someone would naturally tell her.
If no one told her, she would be happy to have some peace and quiet.
After all, she would be leaving this place in March next year, after the solar storm began.
She had no interest in the people and events happening here that were unrelated to the natural disaster.
Soon, the queue reached Tang Li.
The free supplies distributed this time were still 6 packs of instant noodles, 3 packs of bread, 3 hot dogs, 3 packs of biscuits, and 10 bottles of mineral water per person, with another distribution in 3 days.
But everyone already knew that these could only guarantee basic survival.
To not be hungry or thirsty, they still had to exchange their household grains for more water and food.
Today, almost everyone going out to collect relief supplies was carrying grains like rice and flour, wanting to exchange them with the rescue team for easily preservable food and water.
Especially water, in such hot weather, 10 bottles of mineral water for 3 days were not enough at all.
The rescue team also provided boxed meals.
One boxed meal consisted of 1 box of rice, 1 box of meat dish, 1 box of vegetable dish, and 1 box of soup, all packaged in disposable lunch boxes and sorted into bags.
Because the weather was quite hot, and the refrigerators had stopped working, cooked food was not easy to preserve. Moreover, with the water and natural gas cut off, there was no way to cook at home.
Therefore, people were quite enthusiastic about the boxed meals.
After all, after eating too much instant food and dry rations, they wanted a change of taste.
Those collecting supplies basically exchanged one or two boxed meals, eating them immediately upon receiving them.
Some asked for three, wanting to eat a bit more to fill their stomachs and eat less later.
Tang Li did not want to arouse suspicion, so this time she also brought 5 jin of rice to exchange for drinking water and easily preservable food, and also exchanged for 1 boxed meal.
In addition, the rescue team's storage service was favored by households whose homes were flooded.
Fearing that the rescued grains, exchanged water, and food would be stolen or robbed if left outside, they stored some with the rescue team first.
However, after tonight, those who chose to store their items would likely regret it.
"After our rescue team leaves, the police will visit your homes one by one to ask you some questions. Pay attention to the sounds outside when you go back, and be ready to open the door at any time."
The rescue team told Tang Li when she was exchanging for supplies.
Tang Li feigned ignorance and asked curiously, "What happened?"
"It seems that some thugs broke into your building. The police will explain the specific situation to you then. Be careful when you go back, young lady."
The rescuer reminded Tang Li while handing her the supplies.
After receiving the supplies, Tang Li thanked them and, without delay, hurried back home.
Upon returning home, Tang Li quickly put all the power banks, laptops, electric fans, and ice cubes into her space.
At the same time, she restored her wardrobe and her parents' bedroom to their original appearance, replicated some food and water to place at home, pretending they were stored provisions, and filled the bathroom with water in plastic buckets, pretending it was rainwater collected from outside.
After finishing all this, Tang Li took out the boxed meal she had just exchanged, ate it directly without putting it into her space.
Although the boxed meal did not taste as good as the cooked food she had stored in her space, compared to the food she had eaten during the four years in the apocalypse, it was a rare delicacy.
Coupled with Tang Li's increased appetite, she finished it quickly.
At this moment, a knock on the door also sounded.
Tang Li opened the door and saw several people in police uniforms.
Seeing people in these uniforms again after two years, Tang Li felt a sense of familiarity.
Only those who had lived in the post-apocalyptic world where social order had collapsed would understand the value of these people who maintained social order.
Tang Li quickly welcomed them into the house and offered them mineral water.
The police officers quickly refused, saying, "These are your survival supplies, we cannot accept them. We will only ask a few questions and then leave."
Seeing that they did not accept, Tang Li did not insist.
After the police officers sat down, they began to ask in a business-like manner:
"Excuse me, where were you between 11 am and 12 pm today?"
Tang Li answered truthfully, "I was at home the whole time, I didn't go out."
The police officer then asked, "Did you hear any noise outside your door between 11 am and 12 pm today, or did anyone knock on your door?"
