Chapter 26 Racing Against the Torrent



Just as I was about to turn around, I suddenly saw two locked doors. This was very likely a warehouse, and right now, the groundwater was already above my knees, and water was still gushing down the stairs...

The snow leopard sensed danger and barked. To prevent any accidents, White Frost decisively put it into its space.

I walked towards the gate, unlocked it, and saw rows of shelves inside filled with various supplies; it was indeed a warehouse.

She used her martial arts skills to touch each item at the speed of light and store them in her spatial storage.

When I turned around, the water was already above my waist. I quickly entered the space and, adhering to the principles of safety first and life paramount, changed into my diving suit at lightning speed. When I came out, the water was already up to my chest.

Bai Shuang swam rapidly towards the stairwell, grabbed the handrail, and struggled upstream... Finally reaching the exit, she stumbled and almost fell, but luckily she reacted quickly and grabbed the handrail again.

Stepping out of the stairs, Bai Shuang saw that the water outside had already overflowed the earthen beam and was spilling in. She released the rubber boat, jumped on it, turned around and put away the earthen beam. She believed that things in her space should not be wasted if possible, even if it was just a pile of soil.

As the rubber boat sailed back, I remembered the 4S store in another direction, the one where Bai Shuang had bought her Lamborghini. It sold only high-end cars there, and it would be such a waste to destroy it.

Turning around and driving away, by the time we arrived at the 4S store, the water had reached two feet above the security door.

I opened the door, and thankfully, these vehicles have relatively high electronic systems, so the water level hadn't reached the seats yet, and there shouldn't be any major problems.

Everything placed on the first floor, whether it's a motorhome, an off-road vehicle, or a sedan, can be stored away with a wave of the hand, along with car parts, repair machinery, and tools.

The water level kept rising, so I quickly ran upstairs to my office, grabbed two large bunches of car keys, and put them away. I'll try them one by one when I have time...

Alright, 4S shop sorted out, off to the next stop: the wholesale market...

She doesn't lack supplies, but who would complain about having too many? These are all consumables that can't be regenerated after the apocalypse. This is the last chance to collect them; if you miss it, it will be difficult to find them again.

Passing by Yichen Tianfu, he looked towards Bai Chang's residential area, stopped, took out his phone, and said, "Bai Jiu, put on your raincoats, each of you take a rubber boat and come down. I'll be at the entrance of the residential area."

I thought of An Ming, a long-time employee of Bai's Group. People there can't be too bad, right? I pulled out the Bai's Group app on my phone and found his contact number...

Years of experience in managing people have taught Bai Shuang that those who are worth uniting with should be united. No matter how strong you are, you can't be a lone wolf. Even if you have room to maneuver, you are not omnipotent.

Ten minutes later, Bai Jiu and the others arrived. Then, they saw An Ming paddling a rubber boat. Bai Shuang pressed the start button, and the three of them quickly followed.

With years of tacit understanding, Bai Jiu and the others didn't need to ask anything. Miss had her reasons for asking them to do this, and she would naturally say what she needed to say.

"When do you think this rain will stop?" Anming asked.

"Nobody knows how long it will last, but it's always good to plan for the long term."

There are things that can be said and things that cannot be said. Bai Jiu naturally understood this principle, and An Ming nodded.

Anming was very happy. The fact that she invited him meant that the young lady didn't treat him like an outsider.

After traveling about three or four kilometers, they finally arrived at the wholesale market. Bai Jiu broke down the gate, and Bai Shuang steered the boat inside.

"There might be water, gas, and internet outages later. Check what you need and get it done as soon as possible! Once it's installed, head back; don't wait for me."

Bai Jiu and the others knew their young lady's abilities and quickly nodded.

An Ming: "Miss, isn't it dangerous for you to be alone?"

Bai Shuang told him not to worry about it and to walk inside. The others also picked up their bags and hurriedly got to work.

Even though the wholesale market had flood protection measures in place and its foundation was relatively high, the water had only reached a few shelves by this time, and about half of the items inside were already submerged.

And now, the water level continues to rise.

Bai Shuang walked all the way to the innermost part, first to the textile, clothing, shoe, and bag areas that they wouldn't touch, where Xue Bao was placed high on the shelves as a lookout.

They started collecting from the inside out, but they didn't know how much was inside, so even if they came over, they wouldn't find anything.

Less than twenty minutes later, the snow leopard let out a cry, and Bai Shuang knew that they had left.

At this moment, the water level rose another year higher than before, and it surged forward rapidly, obliterating rows of shelves in its wake...

Fortunately, I am now being baptized by the spatial water, and my physical and mental strength is more than twice as high as when the space first appeared. If it were before, I would have been exhausted.

It's already past 3 pm, and I haven't even had lunch yet.

They found a secluded spot, took the snow leopard, and stored it, along with the rubber boat, into their spatial storage.

After taking a hot shower, drink a cup of ginger soup first. You must take good care of your body. Although I am a doctor, many times, I am not self-controlled and illness comes like a landslide. Especially in times of natural disasters, getting sick is no joke.

Feeling warm all over, I prepared to eat, first taking out dog food and beef for the snow leopard.

I got myself a serving of chive and shrimp dumplings, Bai Shuang's favorite. Dipping them in vinegar made them absolutely delicious. After eating, I drank a freshly made, sweet corn juice, which was so comforting.

It's better to do everything sooner rather than later; if you wait too long, it won't be so easy to recoup your losses.

Bai Shuang decided to continue walking forward, but then she remembered the building materials market five kilometers away and wondered how it was doing.

I didn't stockpile these, but they'll definitely be needed for building houses after a natural disaster, and then we'll need to build hospitals. Where will we find them then?

The rubber boat was too slow, so we switched to a motorboat and headed towards the electrical supplies market.

Yichen Tianfu is the highest point in Tangcheng. The further you go, the higher the floors are submerged by water. When you arrive at the building materials market, you can see that the water has already submerged two floors. And this has only been two days.
