Chapter 45 Group Shopping
Han Ying felt the gazes scanning her and glanced sideways.
Judging from their conversation, these two people should have just returned from outside.
"Uncle Li, you can take a rest at my house and have lunch before going back!"
Lin Xue knew that Uncle Li had to go back to help her father with work, so she didn't dare to keep him any longer.
Han Ying saw the two people get off the elevator on the 26th floor, and when they went out, they moved out all the things piled in the elevator.
Having been here for several days, Han Ying has gained some understanding of the community and their building.
The floor layout of Lefu Jiangnan Community is not the same on every floor.
For example, there are only two large apartments on the 26th floor below her, while there is only one large flat on the 28th floor above them.
I heard from Wu Tingfang next door that she had heard the sound of renovations upstairs before, but she had never seen the owner of the upstairs building come over.
Han Ying has been here for so many days and has been out several times, but she has never seen anyone entering or leaving the 28th floor.
But this has little to do with Han Ying. She just needs to live her own life in the end times. As long as others don't bother her, she's fine.
The situation in the next few days was worse than Han Ying had expected.
The entire underground parking lot has been flooded in two days. It seems that Pengcheng's drainage system is completely paralyzed.
The water on the ground has nowhere to be discharged, so it flows to lower places. Naturally, the first places to become containers for this water are these underground parking lots.
All the vehicles in the parking lot have become flooded.
Including a small broken car that Han Ying placed in there to make up the number, as for her own white SUV, it was still in her space.
The sudden rise in water levels in the past two days caught everyone off guard.
The water on the road outside has already reached a depth of about 50 to 60 centimeters.
But today's rain is obviously heavier than yesterday.
Coupled with the paralyzed drainage system, according to the current situation, it is hard to say how high the water level will rise tomorrow.
Seeing the sudden rise in the water level outside, some people who had not stocked up, or had stockpiled a small amount of goods, began to panic.
Due to the rising water level on the road, all grocery shopping apps also stated that the shopping channels will be temporarily closed tomorrow after today's delivery.
Even the convenience store at the entrance of the community was closed this morning for some reason.
In other words, if you want to buy something, you still have to go to a supermarket outside.
But in this kind of weather, with this kind of water accumulation, it is still dangerous to go out in the pouring rain.
The rain shows no sign of stopping.
Some people who didn’t buy anything on the grocery shopping app today are getting anxious.
Someone in the small group of Building 9 was calling for people to form a team and go out to the big supermarket outside to buy things while the water level was still high.
Please gather at the entrance of the community half an hour later and bring your own tools to pack supplies.
All the vehicles were submerged in water and everyone could only take bus No. 11 to travel.
Fortunately, the water on the road outside is only up to the knees, so walking is not a problem.
Han Ying had already done some shopping on the grocery app today, so she wasn't short of supplies.
So she had no intention of going out, but the doorbell rang while she was eating.
When I opened the door, Wu Tingfang was standing outside, fully armed.
"Xiao Han, we also want to go out and buy some things, do you want to go together?"
When Wu Tingfang saw Han Ying opening the door, she directly stated her purpose.
"You guys?" Han Ying asked doubtfully.
"Go with my husband and Xiao Lu. I heard from my mom that you and Xiao Lu didn't buy much staple food. Now the rain is getting heavier. It might be a good idea to buy some more while you can still go out."
Han Ying turned her head and saw a burly man in a raincoat standing in the corridor in front of her.
It turned out to be Lei Minghu, whom Han Ying had known in her previous life.
Lu Yuan was also wearing a pair of half-length waterproof pants and was leaning against the wall of the corridor with his eyes closed. There was a big bag at his feet, and a black raincoat was draped over the bag.
"Okay, wait a minute."
Han Ying closed the security door and returned to her room, then put on a down jacket.
After all, the temperature outside is around 5 degrees and it’s raining heavily!
I changed into waders and took my raincoat and umbrella.
He comforted Tangyuan, put some food in its bowl, and then went out carrying a large backpack taken out from the space.
The rain has been falling for more than ten days!
Everyone was fully equipped, so no one found it strange to see that everyone was almost fully armed.
"You don't bring any tools to carry supplies?"
Wu Tingfang asked in surprise when she saw Han Ying came out with only an umbrella, a raincoat and a backpack.
"Here it is. Let's go."
Han Ying patted the big bag on her back.
"Put it in a bag? That's how much is that?"
Wu Tingfang took a look at Han Ying's backpack. Although it was not small, how much stuff could it hold even if it was filled?
"I brought the magic carpet, don't worry!"
Wu Tingfang's family is pretty good, so Han Ying responded to her kind reminders.
It’s just that Han Ying will control her relationship with them within a certain limit and will not exceed it.
Although Wu Tingfang didn't know what a magic carpet was, she didn't ask much.
Anyway, she thought that if Xiao Han and Xiao Lu’s bags couldn’t carry much stuff, they would help them carry some.
Anyway, the tools they brought with them can hold a lot of things.
Those were the two large bathtubs her husband was holding for his son to bathe.
One tall one is for bathing in winter, and the other longer one, so you can put things in it and push it back later.
There are several convenience stores outside Lefu Jiangnan Community.
However, these convenience stores only sell simple items, and do not sell fresh food.
There are very small quantities of rice, flour, grain and oil, and more of them are condiments, snacks, and alcoholic beverages.
However, there is a large supermarket about seven or eight hundred meters away from their community, and that is where they are going now.
When they arrived at the gate of the community, Han Ying discovered that there were more than 20 people in the group going out to buy supplies.
Most of them are old men and women, and there are relatively few young people. Only four people on their floor are young people.
The tools that everyone brought to pack supplies were all different.
However, the most common ones are large bathtubs for children like the one in Wu Tingfang's house, and some people also drag inflatable swimming pools or bath buckets for adults.
Some of them were holding the kind of shoulder poles used in rural areas, probably intending to carry supplies back.
Each person has a stick to detect the water level to avoid falling into the pit.
Most of them brought clotheslines, but some people, like Han Ying, brought trekking poles or long branches or sticks.
Han Ying was wearing a transparent raincoat with a backpack compartment, after all, she was carrying a bag containing a magic carpet on her back.
Although the bag is made of waterproof fabric, water will still seep in if it is exposed to the rain for a long time, so it is best to cover it with a raincoat.
He put on the raincoat's hood, and then put on an umbrella hood outside the hood, and then unfolded the folding trekking pole.
