"Are you going out again later?" Xiao Lingfeng walked out of the bedroom with his hair a little messy. He was a light sleeper and had already woken up when Jian Ning knocked on the door.

“Let’s go to the south of the city this time. There are bound to be lots of good stuff in the commercial street.” Jian Ning winked at him, and Xiao Lingfeng immediately understood that they could pack more things. That was good news.

"Mom, you and Tian Tian stay home. Xiao Ning and I are going out for a bit. If you need anything, just go find Jian Anping; he's home."

"Okay, Mom knows. Xiao Ning brought some fruit. Have a banana before you go." As she spoke, Aunt Wang took a large bunch of bananas out of the bag and gave one to each of them.

This is great stuff! She's been feeling a bit constipated lately due to internal heat. Eating this is perfect for her.

Jian Ning is such a thoughtful girl. If only she could marry this silly boy of ours! What a wonderful daughter-in-law!

Jian Ning peeled the banana and took a bite. It was soft and chewy; the texture was really nice. She'd definitely make a delicious banana milkshake with it later.

Because it tasted so good, she finished it in just a few bites. Xiao Lingfeng, who was next to her, reached out and took the banana peel she had left, then turned around and put it in the trash can.

The two went out together, and to save time, Jian Ning still pulled him along as they jumped off the side of the building. The moment they landed on the water, the speedboat appeared beneath their feet.

"After we go to Nancheng this time, how about we go up the mountain? I have a chainsaw at home, so let's bring back some more timber. I also want to get some black soil, so we can plant more things in the attic, just like Aunt Li did. We can also find some work for Mom and Tian Tian to do."

Xiao Lingfeng drove the assault boat while discussing things with Jian Ning.

“Sure, we need wood to start a fire when it’s cold. Let’s call my brother to come tomorrow. He’s such a good worker, we can’t let him stay idle at home.” Jian Ning took out two ice creams from her space and handed one to Xiao Lingfeng.

"I think the water level has dropped quite a bit. It looks like it's stopped raining upstream."

"It's possible. Actually, the terrain here is not too bad; it's not a flood discharge area. Otherwise, the entire city would probably be submerged."

Xiao Lingfeng took the ice cream with one hand. It was chocolate flavored and frozen solid. Despite the heat, it hadn't melted at all, which meant Jian Ning's storage space had a freezing function.

"It's not just domestically; for such a long time here, it's only been the city's own self-rescue efforts, and no one from other places has come at all, which proves that this flood disaster is nationwide."

"Or perhaps the whole world will eventually become a vast ocean, with virtually no land left." Jian Ning ate her ice cream leisurely, but her words were chilling. She saw no hope for the future.

"We can only try our best to survive. If there's no land, then we'll live on the ocean."

"How about we find a heavy cargo ship to take it in? Drifting on the ocean is a unique kind of fun." Xiao Lingfeng was quite optimistic, even joking.

"Hey, that's a good idea. Let's go to the docks and look for one. It would be best if there were any ocean-going cargo ships, but unfortunately we can't get into the naval base. Otherwise, getting a warship would be much safer."

Jian Ning quickly finished the waffle cone under her ice cream, clapped her hands, and stood up. "Is that a shopping mall over there? Shall we go check it out?"

It was pointing in the direction of the supermarket that Miao Xin and Li Mingxuan had gone to.

"It should be, we can't see the sign here. It looks like it."

Xiao Lingfeng steered the speedboat around the intersection and arrived in front of the building that had emerged from the water, where he heard someone calling for help.

"Help! Brother, help!" Not far ahead, three or four people wearing life jackets were struggling in the water, clearly not very good swimmers.

The person closest to their assault boat was shouting and waving his hands frantically.

The voice sounded somewhat familiar to Jian Ning.

Xiao Lingfeng did not stand idly by and watch someone die. He quickly drove the speedboat to the person who was calling for help, bent down, and pulled him aboard.

"Wu Zhiwen, is that you?" Jian Ning saw the face of the person who had pulled her up. Wasn't he her college classmate? She had a bad feeling.

"Jian Ning, it's so good to have met you." Wu Zhiwen wiped the water off his face, smiled at her, and then looked anxiously at the other people struggling in the water.

"Brother, hurry and get them out of the water! Our boat has been torn and sunk. We've been sitting here for hours." His voice was weak.

Xiao Lingfeng steered the assault boat over, and the other three were also pulled aboard. Sure enough, Miao Xin and Li Mingxuan were inside; they were like persistent ghosts, always appearing wherever he went.

Although they had been soaking in the water for a long time, apart from being a little pale, they were perfectly fine. It was clear that the four of them had been living quite comfortably lately, at least they had no worries about food and clothing.

"Jian Ning, thank you for saving us. I almost thought I was going to die just now." As soon as Liu Xinyi boarded the inflatable boat, she hugged Jian Ning's arm and burst into tears. Tears streamed down her face; she looked genuinely terrified.

"Jian Ning, didn't you not want to see us? Why did you come to save people?" Miao Xin showed no gratitude whatsoever. Her eyes were practically spitting fire as she looked at Jian Ning.

“Hey kid, I didn’t come here specifically to save you. Who gave you the nerve to do that? If you don’t want to stay on the boat, you can jump right now. Nobody’s stopping you.”

Jian Ning wasn't going to tolerate her behavior. If she had known earlier that Xiao Lingfeng was in the water, she should have told him to go around her and see who would come to rescue her.

"Jian Ning, we were classmates, but I never expected to see what kind of person you are now. You are so vicious."

"This water is so deep, are you trying to kill me by making me jump in?" Miao Xin's face was somewhat ferocious. Seeing Jian Ning living so well now, she couldn't suppress the jealousy in her heart.

“Miao Xin, that’s not right of you. It was Jian Ning and this man who rescued us from the water. If you’re not grateful, fine, but shut up. Nobody thinks you’re mute.”

Liu Xinyi has come to realize what kind of person Miao Xin is during this time. Miao Xin uses her feminine advantages to order Li Mingxuan and Wu Zhiwen to do everything, while she herself only knows how to scheme.

If she hadn't been trapped inside the supermarket and unable to leave, she would have left them long ago. We've had enough of her pretentious act every day.

"Mingxuan, look, Xinyi is siding with someone else." Miao Xin cried and threw herself into Li Mingxuan's arms from behind.

"Jian Ning, how have you been these days?" Li Mingxuan licked his dry lips and asked softly.
