Chapter 34: Set off to the shopping mall to find food

"Give!"

Meng Ci took a helmet handed to him by Shen Que with a puzzled look.

Shen Que explained: "It's raining hard outside, it's safer to wear it."

"Oh! Thank you."

Meng Ci took it obediently in his hand. He had a helmet in his space, but he was afraid of the trouble of taking it out and explaining it.

Now that Chen Que wanted to give it, Meng Ci of course took it.

The raindrops hit my head and it hurt a lot.

When Meng Ci saw Chen Que holding a suitcase in one hand and a storage bag for the rubber boat in the other, he reached out to help.

"Let me help you get it!"

"No need!" Shen Que took his things and walked downstairs.

Meng Ci shrugged and said, "Okay, forget it, I won't ask for help." He felt relieved.

Meng Ci held the helmet given by Chen Que in one hand and a thickened storage bag for quilts in the other. The bag was one and a half meters long, enough to hold a lot of things.

Because the third floor had been flooded, the two men took off their shoes and socks, rolled up their trouser legs, and waded through the water into a house that had once been inhabited.

Put the shoes and socks in a plastic bag and put them on the table first.

Shen Que, with a light on his head, took out the rubber boat and started to inflate it manually.

It took about half an hour for the rubber boat to reach saturation.

Shen Que opened the suitcase beside him and took out a life jacket for Meng Ci to put on.

I took two more raincoats, one for each person.

As Meng Ci put the helmet on his head, he sighed again in his heart.

Shen Que is really a good man.

Good figure, careful, and handsome!

If the two of them can survive the end of the world, Meng Ci will definitely use all means to capture them.

After making sure everything was ready, the two men lowered the rubber boat out through the window.

Chen Que sat in the front, took the oar and started paddling, while Meng Ci sat in the back, leisurely without having to do anything.

Tsk tsk tsk.

It’s good to have teammates. You don’t have to put in any effort or rack your brain to determine the direction.

"arrive!"

It took almost an hour to reach the destination.

The terrain here is higher and the floors are taller than ordinary residential buildings, so the flood only reached half of the second floor.

The two people were lucky and the rubber boat finally stopped in front of the floor-to-ceiling window.

The suction cup was firmly attached to the glass, and the rope from the speedboat was tied to it accurately to prevent the speedboat from being washed away by the flood, and then a safety hammer was taken out.

"be safe!"

The rainstorm was so loud that Meng Ci couldn't hear what Shen Que said.

Seeing that Meng Ci didn't move, Shen Que adjusted the rubber boat.

Finally, the suction cup was attached to the tiles on the wall and the speedboat was tied again.

Let Meng Ci stay in a place without glass, and Shen Que began to knock on the glass on the edge.

Meng Ci saw from behind that when Shen Que knocked on the glass, his muscles were clear and powerful, with distinct lines.

Meng Ci wanted to touch that muscle if the situation wasn't wrong.

Then he pinched his arm in frustration. He had been exercising for more than a month, but how come he hadn't grown any muscle at all!

"Bang!"

With a loud bang, the glass shattered!

The water inside is too deep, it might be dangerous for two people to swim in.

Shen Que continued to hammer with the safety hammer until the hole he made was big enough for the rubber boat to pass through.

Drove the rubber boat into the mall.

The escalator had stopped operating, so Chen Que drove the rubber boat to the escalator.

Shen Que got off the rubber boat first, tied it to the escalator with a rope, and then pulled Meng Ci down.

"You're not hurt!"

After getting off the elevator, Shen Que didn't rush to tidy himself up, but instead looked up and down at Meng Ci.

Meng Ci took off his helmet and placed it on the steps, shook his hair, and said while taking off his raincoat, "It's okay."

Knowing that Meng Ci was fine, Shen Que felt relieved!

Their feet were already wet, so both of them were not wearing shoes.

Hanging the raincoat on the handrail, Chen Que took the suitcase on the kayak and Meng Ci's storage bag in his hands and led the way.

The two people had a clear purpose and went all the way up to the fifth floor.

After opening the supermarket door, the two men went straight to the ready-to-eat area.

Canned food, instant noodles, baked goods...

The two of them didn't even bother to check whether the items had expired or not, and just stuffed them all into the box.

After Meng Ci filled half of the bag, he made an excuse that he wanted to go somewhere else to see if there was anything else to eat, and then started wandering around.

Spicy noodles, hiss, must be taken away.

Take away the melon seeds too.

Coke, drinks, and mineral water all have a shelf life and cannot fill the stomach, so Meng Ci put them into the space without hesitation.

There were also two shelves of liquor, which did not exist in the space, so Meng Ci moved the shelves into the space as well.

Although Meng Ci doesn't know how to drink, he can drink a little to warm his body when it snows heavily later.

Then I walked to some elevator and after opening a door, I saw a small warehouse.

Meng Ci stuffed all the things into the space.

Meng Ci put all the pots, knives, bowls and chopsticks into the space.

Now you don’t have to worry about not having enough knives to cut vegetables.

Things like electric frying pans and electric hot pots were unusable, so Meng Ci didn't take them.

Meng Ci stuffed things like casseroles into the space and can be used.

All this action took only more than ten minutes.

Meng Ci kept an eye on the surroundings to make sure he wouldn't be discovered by Shen Que, and when he went back he had a bunch of spicy noodles and melon seeds in his hand.

"I don't eat much in one meal, so I went to find some spicy strips." Meng Ci explained, and then put the things into the storage bag.

"Eating too much spicy strips is bad for your health! You'd better eat more rice." Shen Que said.

Meng Ci nodded perfunctorily. He had stockpiled enough staple food, and there was still room for planting in the back.

But snacks are currently a non-renewable resource, so of course you should stock up more.

Seeing that Meng Ci didn’t speak, Shen Que probably realized that his tone was a bit stiff, and coughed lightly.

"Is this enough for you? You can take some more and put them in the rubber boat."

Meng Ci shook his head, "Enough is enough!"

I have eaten all the spicy strips myself, I definitely can’t go there again.

It was not easy to come here, and the things might be taken away by others in two days, so the two of them went to find a few large plastic bags, filled them up, and stuffed them onto the rubber boat.

Before leaving, I went to the clothing store on the third and fourth floors and picked out a few pieces of clothing before leaving.

They had already observed the outdoor camping store mentioned earlier when they came.

The store was already flooded and there was no suitable place to park the kayak nearby, so the two men decisively gave up the idea of going into the water to look for a gas stove.

It was past four in the morning, and although the residents were still sleeping, they were afraid that their things would be taken away, so Shen Que suggested that Meng Ci stay here and he move the things up first.

There were a lot of things, so Chen Que ran three times in a row. During this time, Meng Ci suggested that he go once, but Chen Que decisively refused.

On the last trip, all that was left were two large plastic bags and the kayak.

After letting out the air and tidying up the equipment, the two men walked up.

Thinking that the kayak was heavy, and Chen Que had run twice, Meng Ci thought of carrying two plastic bags.

In the end, Shen Que didn't give him a chance to perform. He took a plastic bag and walked away quickly.

Meng Ci followed behind, panting. It seemed that his exercise had no effect!

Why not find some time to ask Shen Que for advice.

Chen Que put all the things in his room, and the two of them wanted to divide the things under the cover of night, so Chen Que had to open his door.

"Wait!" Shen Que suddenly spoke after opening the door.

"What's wrong?" Meng Ci was puzzled.
