Chapter 232 again?
The rooms were very clean and simply furnished—the living room had only one set of dining table and chairs, and each bedroom had only one bed.
After checking every corner of the building, Lu Beiye sealed the doors and windows with metal, leaving only a few hidden ventilation openings.
Lu Nange took out an ice bucket and various supplies from her spatial storage.
The Jiang family's main base has had its power supply restored.
The moment the lights came on, Zhizhi had already used vines to place the ice buckets around the walls.
Lu Nange put the simple furniture in the room into her space and replaced it with supplies from her own space—she could just restore the place when she left anyway.
After everything was settled and everyone had just lain down to rest, a few rays of sunlight slanted in through the ventilation holes.
Half-asleep, I was suddenly disturbed by a commotion outside.
He Zhuo and Gu Qi, who had just finished their shift change, knocked urgently on the door: "It's raining! It's raining!"
"Yan-ge, wake up! It's raining outside!"
"Brother Ci, Little Sister, wake up..."
Lu Beiye, who had just stepped out, jogged to Lu Nange's side, tiptoed, and whispered in her ear, "Sis, the timing is off... but it's also possible that the polar night has arrived early!"
Lu Nange ruffled her younger brother's hair: "Okay, I understand!"
Upon arriving at the living room on the first floor, Lu Beiye quickly removed the metal protective coverings from the doors and windows.
Outside the window—the blazing sun hangs high, yet a torrential downpour is falling.
He Zhuo just pushed the window open a crack and reached his hand out.
"Don't touch it!" Chi Yanzhou grabbed He Zhuo's wrist. "It's like Black Rain!"
He Zhu sniffed: "No wonder I can't smell the soil, it's all rotten, fishy stench."
Gu Qi manipulated the water flow, creating a ladle of black rain: "It really is the black rain we encountered last time."
Lu Xici lightly touched the windowpane with her fingertips, then immediately withdrew them: "Damn it! This rain hasn't cooled things down at all; it's actually made it hotter!"
Chi Yanzhou slammed the window shut: "Rest well first. We'll see how things go after the rain stops."
Lu Nange: "After the last torrential rain came extreme heat, and it's very likely that after this rain will come polar night, extreme cold, earthquakes, tsunamis, or even any kind of severe weather..."
He Zhuo: "Damn you, God! If you've got the guts, just kill me already! What's with all this fuss?"
Gu Qi calmly replied, "Listen to me, think positively. At worst, we can just quit."
"Holy crap?" He Zhuo's eyes widened. "Old Gu, how presumptuous of you to say that!"
Chi Yanzhou: "Stop joking around, go and rest. We still need to go to the Guo family's house after the rain stops."
He Zhuo, who had been on his deathbed, sat bolt upright in shock: "Robbery? I'm open to that!"
Lu Xici: "There are many occupied areas in Ping City. We need to think about who can guide us to the Guo family."
"The Jiang siblings," Chi Yanzhou said, "According to the previous plan, Nan Nan will first collect 30% of the supplies and put them into her spatial storage, leaving the remaining 70% for the military and the Jiang family!"
However, no one expected that at 10 p.m., the rain was still pouring down and the sun was still high in the sky.
Jiang Jing's voice came through the walkie-talkie: "Attention all residents, please refrain from going out for the time being. Each household should use its reserves to weather the storm and monitor the weather. If the rain continues tomorrow, we'll devise another plan!"
Loudspeakers throughout the base repeatedly broadcast the announcement, ensuring that the message reached every corner.
Jiang Jing's lover is a level two wood-type ability user. Jiang's family was worried that Lu Nange and the others would not have enough food, so they used vines to send several bags of compressed biscuits, canned food and water along the base of the wall.
At four o'clock in the morning, the continuous rain gradually subsided, but the sun in the sky still shone with an orange-red light.
At seven o'clock in the morning, the black rain stopped, and the sun disappeared completely.
The beam of a flashlight pierced the darkness as Jiang Jing carefully led his children forward.
He looked up at the pitch-black sky: "This damn weather, I wonder what kind of trouble it'll cause this time... The sun shines at night, but during the day it's pitch black."
"Dad," Jiang Zhian said softly, "The world is changing, and we can't control it. To survive, we can only try to adapt."
Jiang Jing nodded with satisfaction: "An'an is right."
Before they could even get close, Lu Nange and her group had already appeared at the door, fully dressed.
Jiang Zhiwang sized up the fully armed group: "What are the big shots planning...?"
Chi Yanzhou cut to the chase: "Going to the Guo family base. Do you and your brother want to come along?"
Jiang Zhian's voice was excited: "Nan Nan, are we going to cause trouble for the Guo family?"
Lu Nange nodded slightly, and Gu Wan excitedly chimed in, "That's right! That's exactly what I mean!"
"We have to go!" Jiang Zhiwang clenched his fists, making a loud cracking sound. "Those scumbags at the Guo family base are all despicable bastards, committing every imaginable evil—arson, murder, looting, and all sorts of heinous crimes!"
Before he could finish speaking, Jiang Jing kicked him, making him stumble: "Alright. Are you going to keep cursing?"
Jiang Jing looked at Lu Nange and the others: "Should we bring more people? Although the Guo family father and son are dead, there are still some ability users left..."
He glared at his son: "They really are all desperate criminals, a bunch of scum, their methods are ruthless and despicable."
"Thank you, Uncle Jiang," Lu Xici politely declined, "However, it's enough for us siblings to guide us."
The two people whose names were mentioned immediately nodded like chickens pecking at rice.
Jiang Jing patted his children's shoulders heavily: "Remember, keep your mouths shut, do whatever the big shots tell you to do, and follow their orders completely. Your mother and I are waiting for you to come home!"
"We guarantee to complete the mission!" The siblings stood up straight and saluted, their voices loud and clear.
As soon as they were out of Jiang Jing's sight, Jiang Zhiwang couldn't wait to lower his voice and ask, "Boss, are we going to... wipe out the Guo family's hideout?"
He Zhu grinned: "Let's rob someone."
Gu Qi: "Be civilized, call it 'material recycling'."
Jiang Zhian: "Are we going to rob the Guo family's supplies?"
Gu Wan snapped her fingers: "Correct!"
Jiang Zhiwang scratched his head: "I heard the Guo family has mountains of supplies. Big shots, how are you going to transport them?"
Lu Nange raised an eyebrow: "It's 'you' who's lucky, not 'us'."
"What? Us? This... these supplies are for us to steal?" Jiang Zhian quickly waved his hands: "No, no, our base is only supported by my siblings and me. Supplies are so precious right now. When the time comes, you guys can just get a few trucks and take them all..."
Lu Nange interrupted, "It's not for you two siblings, it's for your base..."
Gu Wan chimed in, "Nan Nan is right. Sister An, yesterday on the way to your base, we saw many ordinary survivors without superpowers..."
Jiang Zhian: "But..."
Lu Nange: "Sister An, please lead the way!"
As they approached the gate of the Jiang family's base, Jiang Zhian suddenly stopped: "Big shots, we need to drive to the Guo family; walking is too far."
Lu Nange and the others followed the Jiang siblings to the base parking lot, and finally, they chose a sturdy pickup truck.
Jiang Zhian drove, and Jiang Zhiwang climbed into the passenger seat.
Lu Nange and her group stood in the back of the truck.
