Upon opening the lid, as Xiao Jin had expected, there was indeed no gun she wanted. Instead, two knives lay inside the box: a long dagger and a short dagger.
The dagger was sheathed in a leather sheath, and Chen Kai even thoughtfully included a weapon belt. Xiao Jin took the box, while Chen Kai's men had already led everyone in the warehouse away.
The rain outside was still falling, even heavier than it had been at midnight. It was 6:30 in the morning, but it was still pitch black outside.
Not only is it raining, but the temperature has also dropped considerably.
When she arrived in the game world yesterday at noon, she glanced at her phone and saw that it was 28 degrees Celsius. Now, on a summer morning, even if it was raining, it shouldn't be only 19 degrees Celsius. No wonder Xiao Jin felt a chill!
After storing all the supplies in her spatial storage, Xiao Jin returned to the hotel. Instead of going back to her room, she upgraded her room at the front desk.
Previously, due to lack of funds, she stayed in a standard double room on the third floor, but now she has booked a deluxe suite on the tenth floor.
Xiao Jin had specifically chosen this hotel beforehand. It was twelve stories high, so if she didn't make any money, she could simply carry the goods up herself when the water rose.
Now that she has money, Xiao Jin simply picked a suitable floor.
It's raining heavily now, and things are likely to get chaotic outside for a while. The city issued a notice half an hour ago, telling everyone to stay home and not go out.
When Xiao Jin returned, the rain had already reached her ankles.
In this situation, the road is impassable, and even if you manage to hail a taxi, the road conditions are unsafe. Even if you want to go to Xitaishan, you have to wait until the surrounding area is safe before you can go.
With the new room key in hand, Xiao Jin pushed open the door and headed straight for the bathroom inside.
She hadn't showered since leaving the competition venue, and then she got soaked in the rain, making her shoes unwearable. Fortunately, Chen Kai later prepared a lot of new clothes for her.
After washing up and changing into clean clothes, Xiao Jin immediately covered her head and collapsed onto the hotel's large bed.
Regardless of how heavy the rain is, last night was spent boxing and inventorying supplies. Let her replenish her energy before the world situation worsens.
Xiao Jin was awakened by the cold.
The hotel's air conditioning had stopped working sometime ago, the blankets were ice-cold, and the room remained pitch black. A huge flash of light streaked across the room, and Xiao Jin looked out the floor-to-ceiling window in the flash of lightning.
The rainwater below was so deep that it was impossible to see the bottom, and it had completely submerged a layer.
Various kinds of garbage floated on the river, and many cars were submerged in the water, drifting aimlessly with the current.
Xiao Jin took out her phone, which showed that it was 6 p.m. on the 16th. She had slept for a whole day, and her phone was also receiving various news notifications.
'Torrential rain!'
The Pingxi River has breached its banks!
Global flood warning!
'Sudden torrential rains hit around the world; International Security Bureau convenes emergency meeting!'
In just a few hours, everyone had enough time to come to their senses. The global climate is distinct, and it's impossible for it to rain at the same time, especially since the rain was getting heavier and heavier.
Countries around the world have taken this very seriously and have ordered everyone to stay home and cease all social activities. Airports have been shut down, highways have been closed, and even trains have been suspended.
While Xiao Jin was asleep, local governments across the country sounded alarms due to the torrential rains, and some coastal cities and countries experienced tsunamis of varying sizes.
Along with the torrential rain came thunderstorms, with massive lightning strikes across the world, causing fires in old urban areas, damage to power lines, widespread power outages, and shutdowns of many public facilities.
The whole world is gripped by panic.
Xiao Jin was carefree; she could still sleep even though she knew a natural disaster was coming, but Chen Kai couldn't sleep.
After Xiao Jin left, Chen Kai felt uneasy. He frequently looked down at the messages on his phone. When the authorities issued a rainstorm warning and strictly prohibited entry and exit, Chen Kai knew that Xiao Jin was right.
"Someone come here!" He suddenly stood up from the sofa.
"Boss, boss, what's wrong?" the younger brother asked as he walked in.
Chen Kai: "Quickly, expedite our supply orders, and increase all orders tenfold! Be fast!"
The younger brother paused for a moment, then quickly replied, "Okay, okay, I'll go right away."
...
Putting on another warm coat, Xiao Jin climbed out of the cold bed.
Since I couldn't sleep anyway, I decided to get up and eat.
Xiao Jin didn't touch the supplies in the space, but instead put on her shoes and went downstairs to the hotel restaurant.
Even though there's been a power outage, this kind of high-end hotel not only has backup power, but also should have plenty of food in stock. It's only for one day, so there shouldn't be any food shortages. Her luxury suite comes with three free meals a day, so why not take advantage of it?
Once outside, the emergency indicator lights in the hallway emitted a faint glow. The elevator was still running, but for safety reasons, Xiao Jin took the fire escape.
The restaurant is on the 8th floor, and the lights inside are bright. Through the transparent glass, the chefs are busy at work. It's almost lunchtime, and the restaurant is still quite crowded.
As Xiao Jin walked inside, all she could hear were people talking about the torrential rain.
"Ugh! My flight home was supposed to be tonight, but some rain just inexplicably got me stuck here."
"You can argue with that, but since it's a business trip anyway, and the company will reimburse all expenses, let's just stay in the hotel and relax!"
"But this rain is really weird. I saw on the news that it's not just raining in our province, it's raining all over the country, including in the Northwest."
"This is nothing. You know Lima? It's the famous 'city without rain,' and it's almost flooded now..."
It was a little early, so Xiao Jin sat at the dining table by the window for a while while the rainwater downstairs continued to rise.
The hotel restaurant was buffet style, and Xiao Jin only got up to get a plate after most of the dishes were served.
A few minutes later, Xiao Jin returned to the window with two stacks of plates piled high.
In fact, she attracted a lot of attention as soon as she entered the restaurant. After all, it's rare to see someone with such a good temperament and such a beautiful appearance. Even a man would take a second look.
But when they saw the two plates in Xiao Jin's hands, which were so big they couldn't fit on the ground, everyone's eyes nearly popped out of their sockets.
Goodness, is there a hole in its stomach? It can eat so much!
Especially when they saw Xiao Jin finish both plates and calmly go and get another one, the person sitting next to Xiao Jin couldn't help but swallow hard and stare at her with an incredulous look.
This tiny body, where did all that food go?!
Xiao Jin calmly accepted the gazes of those around her.
It's normal to have a higher energy intake while recovering your superpowers, especially since the chef's skills are quite good.
Xiao Jin initially had some reservations about being involved in a survival game after her rebirth, but after eating several normal meals, she stopped caring about it.
You have to live anywhere, so why not live more comfortably?
