Instead of making breakfast, Gu Yanzhi took out soy milk, steamed buns, and a set of jianbing guozi (Chinese crepes) for each person from his spatial storage.

After finishing their meal, the three of them checked the doors and windows of the house before leaving, feeling reassured.

With the apocalypse approaching, these details need to be carefully observed, otherwise, if something goes wrong, it will be too late for regrets.

The four households gathered at the bottom of the stairs on the fourth floor.

The continuous heavy rains these days have caused flooding up to the height of three and a half stories.

As usual, Zhuang's father, who lived on the 11th floor, broke open the window, and the group jumped out.

This time, no one from any family went out on a single boat. Now that everyone has their own inflatable boat, each family uses their own. Except for Grandma Gao from the 16th floor, who is too old to stay home and take care of her grandson, everyone else went out together.

Uncle Zhang organized this small team to salvage supplies so that everyone could look out for each other. If something happened on the way, the larger group would be able to lend a hand, reducing the chances of danger.

As for the supplies, everyone agreed that whoever finds them keeps them. If someone doesn't find the item they need, they can exchange it with someone else who does.

The group didn't have a specific destination. The water was too deep and murky to see clearly what was underwater, and they didn't have a clear route. Fortunately, they were all locals and familiar with City C, so they relied on their memory of directions and paddled as far as possible towards higher altitudes.

Actually, there weren't many good targets to choose from. City C is a typical plain, with the overall terrain sloping from east to west. The highest point is Songshan Mountain, which is over 200 meters high.

Their location, Jinxiu Leiting, is situated in the eastern part of City C, only a dozen kilometers away from Songshan. Gu Yanzhi could even see the outline of Songshan from his home.

This mountain is also one of the main tourist attractions in City C. Everyone here has been to Songshan Mountain and is familiar with it.

Therefore, everyone rowed towards Songshan without prior arrangement.

Even if they couldn't find any useful supplies, they figured they could at least dig some soil from Songshan Mountain to grow some vegetables, which would make the trip worthwhile.

Jinxiu Leiting is quite close to Songshan Mountain and is the tallest residential area in the area. At the foot of Songshan Mountain, there are many low-rise bungalows. This is their main destination, mainly because they think this area is definitely uninhabitable now, and they might be able to find some useful things left behind by the owners in the houses.

If they're lucky enough to find a supermarket, then they won't have to worry about food for at least a while. Modern food packaging is very secure, so there's no fear of food becoming inedible after being soaked in sewage for so many days.

After gliding through a stretch of uneven water where it appeared to be inhabited residential areas, all that could be seen was a flat expanse of water.

At this moment, Gu Yanzhi took out an underwater detector from the large bag he was carrying, which was actually from his spatial storage. He told everyone that his father used to be a member of the rescue team, so the family had prepared a full range of tools. When they went out, they wore diving suits and brought professional fishing nets.

With the help of a detector, the group successfully found a low-lying house in the murky water. They found a large tree that was broken in half but still had a little bit of its top sticking out and tied the speedboat to the tree.

Song Zhao and Gu Yanlin put on their protective masks and diving goggles and went into the water. Although the others weren't wearing wetsuits, they all put on their diving goggles and, without any hesitation, took off their thick outer clothing and jumped in.

In fact, Gu Yanzhi could have taken out a few more sets of diving equipment, but he was afraid that taking out too many at once, especially since they were all new, would arouse suspicion. Besides, it would be troublesome to give one or two sets to which company and not to which company, so he simply decided not to take any.

Gu Yanzhi, Zhang Qian, and Zhuang Nanyang stayed on the assault boat instead of going into the water, waiting for someone to bring back supplies so they could haul them onto the boat.

They also kept a close eye on the situation of everyone in the water, and were ready to provide timely assistance if anyone was in danger.

The rain was probably lighter today, and there were more people out than just them. Along the way, they encountered quite a few others. People were either out collecting supplies or exchanging items; overall, there were quite a few people outside.

Although it seems like no one is coming to this area right now, perhaps people think it's too far or they haven't thought of any supplies in this area yet, but there might be others who have the same idea.

The purpose of keeping Zhuang Nanyang around was actually to prevent anyone from causing trouble for the two girls if they came. Even though he was a boy, bad guys would still have something to be wary of if there was a man around.
