Chapter 18 The typhoon stopped, but the rain got heavier



However, there seemed to be a lot of things on the man's speedboat.

These days, whoever has more supplies is less safe.

Taking advantage of the blurred vision, she put her hands behind her, picked up two backpacks from the space, and paddled towards them.

With this figure and height, no one else can be compared to someone who is 1801cm tall. Even though he is wearing a raincoat and a mask, he can still be recognized at a glance.

No wonder Doudou is so fair and tender, it turns out she buys it for free every day.

We are in the same boat, there is nothing to be embarrassed about.

1801 also recognized Jiang Ning who was wearing a mask and nodded to her in the heavy rain.

After putting away the speedboat, he reached out to help.

Jiang Ning was not pretentious. He handed over two waterproof backpacks, asked him to help him, and then carefully put away the rubber boat.

No one spoke, and they carried the child upstairs on their backs.

1801 had a lot of supplies and it would probably take several trips, so Jiang Ning helped him carry two bags.

Back on the 18th floor, they looked at each other and turned around decisively, took out the key and quietly opened the door.

Throwing down his things, Jiang Ning drank a bowl of hot brown sugar ginger soup, changed his wet clothes, and quickly took a shower and dried his hair.

It was getting light outside and 1801 had already moved all the supplies. She cleaned the water stains in the corridor and then knocked on Zheng Weili's door.

The two men thought they were being robbed and came out with knives.

Jiang Ning handed over 2,000 yuan and said in a low voice, "The typhoon has stopped. You should get out quietly as soon as possible and don't let others find you. The supermarket on the slope of the university town has four floors and the terrain is relatively high, so it should not have been soaked yet.

I remember the boss's family lives in the supermarket, so it's possible that the store will be open for business. No matter how expensive it is, just buy something filling and edible."

When I came back, I deliberately went around and saw from afar that the lights of the supermarket were on and there were several speedboats parked outside.

This disaster was unexpected. Supermarkets and wholesale markets were all flooded, and it is very likely that even the country’s grain storage bases in the city were flooded.

Almost all the food is underwater. Even if the military and government want to rescue, they can't do anything without rice.

So, there was no rescue at all.

The outside world soon became chaotic, with people smashing and looting everywhere, just to survive and get enough food.

Jiang Ning remembered very clearly that in his previous life, this supermarket was expropriated and taken over by the government. It opened early and limited purchases were allowed, and citizens could pay with cash on a first-come, first-served basis.

In the age of electronic payment, who still has the habit of using cash, and how many people will withdraw cash before a typhoon?

Therefore, those who cannot come up with the money but want to survive can only use violence to rob.

The police carry sidearms, but who really dares to shoot at hungry citizens? Who are they going to shoot with just a few bullets?

There are people everywhere, and they don’t want to commit crimes, but a lot of money is just numbers, either in the bank or in Alipay, and they can’t take it out!

Jiang Ning didn't get the news until the afternoon. He swam to the supermarket holding a plastic bucket, but found that everything had been snatched away. There were shocking bloodstains on the floor and walls.

Zheng Weili woke up and asked, "Can the supermarket really open?"

"I'm not sure, but it's better than waiting." Jiang Ning urged, "You should go earlier. By the time they wake up and come to their senses, there will be no place for you."

Zheng Weili woke up as if from a dream. She went back to her room with Lu Yu, changed her clothes and came out, "Aning, let's go together."

"I still have a bag of rice at home, so I won't go this time." Jiang Ning made an excuse, "Besides, if we all leave, what if someone comes to our house and robs us? You guys spend all your money, and if you buy more, you can give me some."

"Yes, we'll be back soon."

Zheng Weili was confused. Aning had already paid, so how could she have the nerve to ask her to go out? "I'll lend you the money. If you buy anything, we'll split it in half."

"Bear self-defense guys, be safe."

It was almost dawn, so Jiang Ning urged the two of them to go downstairs.

I’ve already reminded you that how much you can grab depends on the lives of the two people.

After locking the door, Jiang Ning didn't take time to rest and started to tidy up the crowded space.

The solar energy storage boxes were all left in the space, and the other accessories were moved to the large room in the rental house.

Pour out a bunch of supplies scavenged from the supermarket, remove the outer shells that are over-packed and take up space, then sort them out and stuff them into large plastic bags or seal them in cardboard boxes.

There is space for important supplies, and unnecessary items like snacks can be placed in the rental house, which will then allow for the creation of dozens of cubic meters.

Jiang Ning transformed into a compression genius, concentrating on sorting out more than one hundred cubic meters of precious materials.

I don’t know how long she can live. These supplies should be enough for her to eat until the day she dies of natural causes. But who knows what will happen in the future?

If conditions permit, who doesn’t want to live a better life and have more food, drink and fun?

It's always a good idea to plan ahead.

She was so crazy that she even didn't spare the RV, and she packed a batch of essential supplies to fill the space inside.

Time passed quickly, and in the blink of an eye it was already past nine o'clock. It felt like the downstairs was particularly lively.

The typhoon stopped, but the rain got heavier.

The threat was reduced, and the young people who could swim went out, some carrying buckets or washbasins, some wearing lifebuoys, and some holding wooden boards.

Fengcheng is a land of fish and rice in the south. Although its industry has developed rapidly in the past few decades, there are still many mulberry-based fish ponds in the suburbs, crisscrossing water networks everywhere, and many local people living in the village have wooden boats.

Some people rowed wooden boats into the community to look for family members or relatives who had been missing for a long time. Some villagers even carried out the dragon boats from the ancestral hall and formed groups to look for people or supplies.

There are rubber boats and speedboats, but they are very rare. After all, this is not a water city. Who would have such things at home for no reason?

Jiang Ning calculated the time, stood on the balcony and stared at the situation in the community, looking for Zheng Weili and Lu Yu from time to time.

About half an hour later, a rubber boat of familiar color appeared with something on it.

Just as I was about to go downstairs, several men suddenly swam out from Building 3 and swam straight towards the rubber boat.

They moved quickly, but the two reacted quickly too. Lu Yu paddled desperately while Zheng Weili raised the paddle and hit them on the head.

Jiang Ning took the knife and went out, but unexpectedly the door of 1801 opened at the same time.

Huo Yishen was wearing casual clothes, his expression still indifferent, "I'll go with you."

Many people have their eyes on the 18th floor, and they all understand the principle of mutual dependence.

Jiang Ning didn't refuse, and the two hurried downstairs.

The water had already reached the fourth floor, and many people gathered at the stairs trying to find a way out.

Watching Zheng Weili's rubber boat getting closer and closer, especially with the supplies on board that could keep people alive.

One by one, their eyes were filled with resentment, anger, and even hatred, as they watched with glee as the two people were robbed...
