Chapter 22: Continue to buy heavy rain for free
The situation outside the community is not peaceful either. The advantage of being so close to various federal departments is that you can be the first to be rescued if you encounter any problems.
The federal building, the police station and the courthouse were brightly lit, and many police officers could be seen rowing out to rescue people. However, they did not directly rescue the residents in nearby communities who were asking for help, but drove to the suburbs.
Even libraries and museums suddenly opened up as makeshift shelters.
"There are many tall buildings in the city, so we won't die for the time being. But it might be dangerous in the countryside." Qiao Qiao looked at their busy figures.
The rainstorm came too fast and caught everyone off guard. Only a few people used boats equipped with motors, and more people had to row their boats by hand.
They didn't even have enough raincoats, and the heavy rain soaked their clothes, but they seemed not to notice and continued to move in a hurry.
Although hand rowing is quiet, it is too tiring.
With the sound of wind and rain as cover, Qiao Qiao started the engine shortly after leaving the community.
A 40-horsepower speedboat can travel 60 kilometers per hour.
At normal speed, it only takes 10 minutes to reach the destination.
But now there are all kinds of floating objects in the water blocking the road, such as cars, signboards, branches, glass, etc.
It took Qiao Qiao an hour to get there, a distance that was supposed to take ten minutes.
There was no rescue team coming near the mall and no one was going in or out, which made it convenient for her.
The terrain here is lower than that of the smaller area. The first floor has been completely submerged, and the speedboat can directly reach the height of the second floor.
The mall and the auto show are opposite each other. After thinking for a while, Qiao Qiao decided to go to the auto show first.
Qiao Qiao took out the R-level card and a blue key appeared in his hand. He turned the door lightly and it opened. He jumped into the house and put away the speedboat.
Although the power system and the Internet would soon be paralyzed, to be on the safe side, she first destroyed the surveillance of the auto show before taking off her mask.
This auto show is quite large, occupying the first, second and third floors, with a total of 16 venues.
The first floor was flooded and the car was scrapped.
She quickly searched the second floor for a suitable vehicle.
Sports cars and sedans are not very useful in the future. They have few seats and low chassis, and they can't even get through potholes on the road.
She set her sights on the SUV.
In fact, if conditions permit, she also hopes to collect an RV in case of emergency.
Unfortunately, the space backpack is too small, and the grid of the system backpack cannot accommodate something as large as a vehicle.
After walking around the second and third floors, Qiao Qiao chose a top-of-the-line off-road vehicle on the third floor known as the "King of Off-Road".
Although she didn't know the specific performance of the vehicle, she understood money. It was an old brand, and with the price of 4 million shown on the sign, there would definitely be no problem.
It is 5.3 meters long, 1.8 meters wide, and covers an area of 9.56 square meters.
The space backpack can fit it perfectly.
Qiao Qiao loaded all the spare parts from the exhibition hall into the car and put them away until the car was no longer full.
Even the remaining corners are filled up, leaving no space unused.
After the vehicle problem was solved, take out the speedboat and head to the mall.
When they arrived at the shopping mall, they also destroyed the surveillance equipment before taking any action.
The mall has a total of six floors, five above ground and two underground.
The underground floor is like a small commodity base, full of cheap goods.
The second underground floor was a parking lot, but it should be scrapped now.
The first floor, which houses some mobile phone, gold and silver, cosmetics and baby care stores, has been flooded.
The second floor is a shopping supermarket and furniture store.
Qiao Qiao went straight into the supermarket and made her purchase for free.
I specially prepared hundreds of snakeskin bags in advance and started stockpiling goods like crazy!
In the snack area, there are potato chips, chocolate, dried fruits, pickled chicken feet, ham, canned food, spicy strips, instant noodles, etc. Take away everything on the shelves!
Fish, shrimp, crabs, steaks, sea cucumbers, abalone, quick-frozen dumplings, various meatballs, etc. in the frozen area can also be taken away!
Take away all the red wine, white wine, beer, mineral water and various beverages in the tobacco, alcohol and beverage area!
As for cigarettes, although no one in my family needs them, there are still some people who do.
It can be used as currency in the later stage, and one cigarette can be exchanged for several packs of instant noodles.
Take away all the apples, strawberries, cucumbers, cabbages and other fruits and vegetables in the fruit and vegetable area!
Take away all the rice, flour, corn, soybean oil, peanut oil and other grains and oils from the grain and oil area!
Take away all the toiletries, food storage boxes, thermoses, desk lamps, paper towels, sanitary napkins, induction cookers and other pots and pans in the daily necessities area!
In the pet supplies area, there is also cat and dog food, cat litter, canned food, cat strips, etc.
Ten of the fifteen empty squares were occupied.
Qiao Qiao was actually very tempted by all the high-end furniture, but unfortunately they were too big to take away.
However, there is no problem with the equipment in the camping area.
Tunnel tents, moisture-proof mats, camping chairs, camp beds, inflatable mattresses, long flamethrowers, gas grills, coolers, insulated buckets, camping lights, tables, power stoves, kerosene stoves, fire extinguishers, etc. Take away everything that the store has.
Another grid is occupied, leaving four.
The third floor is for luxury goods and clothing stores.
Looking at a pile of luxury bags, shoes and clothes, who would have thought that they would become waste in a few days.
Jojo picked out some roomy bags, comfortable flats and some less fussy clothes.
Occasionally I'll pick up something that's not practical but looks good.
Regardless of the brand, put them all into a snakeskin bag and wait to sort them out after returning home.
In the future, there will be extreme cold, windproof and cold-proof long down jackets, waterproof jackets, cashmere suits, various styles of plush hats, gloves, snow boots, etc., all of which should be packed away.
Another grid is occupied, leaving three.
The fourth floor is a food court.
Qiao Qiao's target was not food, but some machines.
Take away the sausage machine, cotton candy machine, small ice cream machine, octopus ball machine, fried yogurt machine and more!
The fifth floor is home to a cinema, KTV, bookstore and indoor playground.
Qiao Qiao took away all the famous domestic and foreign books in the bookstore, and also bought some romance and martial arts novels.
The fourth and fifth floors together occupy one grid, leaving two.
The sixth floor is the office area.
Qiao Qiao didn't go upstairs anymore, but chose to go to the first floor.
Although mobile phones, drones and other electronic devices have been soaked in water, there are still other things that can be picked up at a bargain price.
Take out the R-level diving suit on the second floor, use it, put it on and jump into the water.
As expected of a system product, I hardly feel cold even when soaking in the water.
The mall closes early, and the doors block most of the branches, glass and other garbage.
Then he went straight to the jewelry shop, broke the glass, and packed up all kinds of gold, silver, jewelry, jade, agate and other jewelry.
Then take away the well-packaged skin care products, cosmetics, perfumes, etc.
Finally, go to the toy store and take away some Legos, blind boxes, capsule toys, Rubik's Cubes and other toys.
If people stay in a doomsday environment for too long, they will suffer a mental breakdown, and at this time they will need some books and toys to relieve their stress.
We even collected some folding bicycles, skateboards, snowboards and ski equipment.
Only when there was only one grid left and the others were all filled did Qiao Qiao reluctantly leave.
She didn't have the idea of taking away the entire shopping mall. The rainstorm would eventually recede, leaving others with something to survive.
Of course backpacks are not allowed.
When going back, Qiao Qiao remembered that there was a small villa area nearby. Now the water level was so high that there should be no one inside.
Maybe, she can go and pick up some bargains.
Qiao Qiao did what he said and turned the speedboat around and headed towards the villa area.
As she had guessed, the villa area was dark and no one was there.
This was normal, as the people who lived here were either rich or noble, and they should have moved to a safe area. However, they were in such a hurry that many things were not taken away.
The villa area is not big, with only thirty households.
He turned off the engine and stopped the car at the door of the first household. He took out his □□ and opened the door to enter.
The water here was almost three meters deep, and the first floor was all filled with water. Even though he was wearing a diving suit, Qiao Qiao didn't want to go down to retrieve some of the supplies he already had, so he waded through the water directly into the second floor.
The interior is decorated mainly in green tones. She was stunned when she opened the bedroom door.
There is artificial turf on the ground, blue sky and white clouds painted on the walls, and smoke rising in the distance. If you don't know, you would think you are in the wild.
“That’s how much I love camping.”
There was no bed in the house, only a camping tent, and judging by the logo it was from an international brand.
There were camping equipment all around, just as good as the camping store I had just encountered in the mall.
The second floor will be flooded in two days at most, and no one will come to get things in the wind and rain. They will just pick out the things they can use and put them away.
There were camp beds, barbecue grills, alcohol lamps, etc., and several boxes of anthracite and alcohol blocks were found in the corner.
The other rooms are mostly filled with camping equipment.
The second villa seemed much more normal, with luxurious decoration like that of a nouveau riche.
There was nothing in the house that was necessary, the only interesting thing being the study.
Other people's study rooms are filled with books, but the study room here is filled with wine cabinets, both white and red.
"Thank you for the treat." Qiao Qiao was not polite and took them all.
The next few households were nothing special.
When it comes to the seventh household, one can't help but raise an eyebrow.
Originally, nothing could be seen on the surface, normal decoration, normal furnishings. But Qiao Qiao was a little tired, and was about to take a break by leaning against the wall when she noticed something was wrong.
Qiao Qiao bent her fingers and tapped the wall lightly.
"Knock knock."
"This sound..." Thinking back to the criminal investigation TV dramas I watched before, I was afraid that there was nothing behind the wall.
Qiao Qiao's eyes lit up, and he carefully took out the nail gun and looked around for a way to open it.
"According to the logic of the TV series, it should be this!" She began to twist the ornaments in the bedroom, but unfortunately nothing happened.
Then he knocked on the wall patiently. I didn't know where he hit, but I heard a "click" and the wall slowly opened.
Qiao Qiao looked at what was in front of him in shock, and it took him a long time to calm down.
The walls were covered with guns, some of which were even pneumatic guns that were banned in some foreign countries.
“That’s crazy.”
Although he said that, Qiao Qiao still took down all the guns and took them away, as well as 1,000 rounds of bullets.
The owner of the eighth household was particularly fond of cigarettes and alcohol. The two rooms on the second floor were filled with one alcohol and the other cigarettes, more than those in some small supermarkets.
The owner of the ninth household is an extreme sports enthusiast. Jojo found two sets of wing suit flying equipment, two alpine skis, three mountain bikes, and even a few surfboards in the house.
The owner of the tenth household may be an art lover, and there are several calligraphy and paintings in his study.
Qiao Qiao searched online and found that it was worth a lot of money. In this case, of course, he had to take it away, otherwise it would become waste after being soaked in water.
Although the eleventh household had been renovated, it looked uninhabited. There was nothing in it except the necessary furniture, and there was no trace of life in the house.
Qiao Qiao sat on the bed in the bedroom, ready to rest for a while before leaving. It happened that the grid was almost full, so she gave up on the remaining villa.
But I felt that the mattress didn't feel right. Normally, a villa of this level wouldn't have such a hard bed.
Qiao Qiao got up and searched for it, and was shocked again after she cut open the mattress.
"No wonder……"
The mattress is filled with golden gold bars. Hundreds of 500-gram gold bars are placed in front of you, which has an impact beyond your imagination.
Who would store so many gold bars at home, unless it was in a TV show...
