After the power outage, there was a lot of wailing in the neighborhood group chat. It was already hot and humid with the heavy rain, and now that the power is off, we can't turn on the air conditioner or open the windows. It's so stuffy.
4-1501: "No, this is going to suffocate us..."
8-0501: "Yeah, we can't open the windows when it rains, and now we can't even turn on the air conditioner."
9-1702: "Everyone, please bear with it. If someone gets electrocuted, it could be a matter of life and death."
1-1401: "Yeah, it'll be fine once the rescue team arrives. I just called the fire department, but the line was busy."
8-0902: "Judging from the way the rain is coming, it doesn't look like it's going to stop. Anyone want to go to the supermarket across the street to buy supplies?"
3-2502: "I'm going, wait for me."
...
Lin Ruo exited the WeChat interface, a slight smile playing on her lips. Firefighters? Rescue teams? Right now, the authorities can't afford to worry about these ordinary residents; they're busy salvaging grain warehouses, supply depots, weapons depots, research materials, and the like—all crucial resources that cannot be lost in the slightest.
Besides, this isn't a small-scale disaster; it's a global one. So, where should we focus our efforts?
There are quite a few perceptive people like those in apartment 902 of building 8. I encountered quite a few when I went to the supermarket yesterday. It's the right thing to do to buy more supplies now and preserve yourself.
However, he and 2502 were still a bit naive. When everyone was starving, their first reaction was to look for those who had gone out to buy supplies, which would cause countless problems.
Lin Ruo gently shook her head.
"Knock knock knock".
Lin Ruo looked at the apartment door. It had only been a day, and someone was already knocking on her door?
She raised an eyebrow slightly, stood up to look at the door, and opened it to see the male homeowner across the hall, whose name seemed to be Li Wei.
"What's up?"
Li Wei stood ramrod straight. When Lin Ruo opened the door, he immediately stated his purpose: "This heavy rain probably won't stop anytime soon. My wife asked me to come and ask you if you want me to bring you some food."
Lin Ru blinked. "Want me to bring some?" She chuckled and declined, "No need, I have enough to eat."
Li Wei nodded, indicating that he understood, and said, "Then I'll leave you in."
After saying that, he turned around and was about to go downstairs.
Remembering the kindness of Teacher Qian, she still called out to Li Wei.
"Wait a moment."
Li Wei turned to look at her. "What's wrong?"
Lin Ruo placed her hand on the doorknob, her smile fading, her expression turning serious: "It's best to go shopping yourself. We don't know when this heavy rain will stop, so it's always better to be careful."
Lin Ruo's words were rather veiled, but Li Wei, being a soldier, was naturally alert and understood Lin Ruo's meaning after a moment's thought. He looked at Lin Ruo with a probing gaze, "What does Miss Lin know?"
Lin Ruo raised an eyebrow, her serious expression immediately vanishing. "It was just a casual remark; whether you listen or not is up to you."
After saying that, she turned around, went back into the house, and closed the door.
Li Wei stood at the entrance of the building, staring at the door for a while, before finally taking out his phone and sending a message in the group chat.
3-2502: "I just remembered I have something to do, so I won't go to the supermarket for now. @8-0902, you can go by yourself."
After sending the message, he returned home. Qian Li was tidying up the house when she suddenly saw him come back. She asked in surprise, "Didn't you go shopping?"
"Let's go tonight."
Li Wei stood by the window watching several people wade through the water and leave Building 3. His eyes darkened slightly. The girl across the hall was right. It had been raining heavily for so long, so many places were flooded, and accidents were happening everywhere, but the authorities hadn't come out to rescue people yet. This was unreasonable.
If it was really as he thought, he turned to look at his busy wife and his son playing with toys; they had been abandoned, and he couldn't put them in danger.
On the other side, after reminding Li Wei, Lin Ruo put the matter out of her mind and used her mental energy to probe into the space to sort the supplies that she had brought back from the port yesterday into different categories.
After more than an hour, the items in the space were finally organized. Looking at the neat and still space, Lin Ruo breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, she had strong mental power. If she were like those ordinary people, she would not know how long it would take to organize these supplies.
Then she began training her physical fitness and superpowers step by step. By the time she came out of the second bedroom covered in sweat, it was almost midnight.
At noon, she took out two boxes of fried rice and a plate of spicy shrimp from her storage space and enjoyed a delicious meal.
After finishing her meal, she immediately started making ready-to-eat foods, this time including pies, flatbreads, and rice balls.
Lin Ruo took out a battery box from her space and ten rice cookers. She steamed a whole pot of rice in each rice cooker. This much rice should be enough to make quite a few rice balls.
After finishing this task, she turned around and started kneading dough again, making ten large bowls of dough just like last time.
I took out a lot of vegetables and meat from the space, and made some stir-fries. Natural gas will still be available now, but in a few days the gas supply will be cut off, and then I will have to use a stove to cook.
The apartment began to fill with the aroma of food again—the smell of rice, the aroma of noodles, and the aroma of oil from various stir-fries. This time, it lasted for a full six hours.
This time, we had a lot of results: 600 pies, 80 flatbreads, 500 rice balls, and various stir-fries. After that, we took out food boxes and packed them according to the amount we would eat each time, totaling more than 100 boxes.
Lin Ruo finished doing all this just in time for dinner. She picked up the freshly made pie and took a bite. It was filled with pork and scallions, and the crust was crispy. With each bite, the aroma of scallions and pork blended perfectly, making it fragrant but not greasy. It was delicious.
After eating five large pies, Lin Ruo was finally full. She put all the boxed food into her static space, then took out a can of cola, took a big gulp, and let out a satisfied burp.
