Chapter 25: Go to the Office Building to Sweep



Men's emotional expression is very different from women's. Jiang Ning and Zheng Weili did not go in, and Lu Yu went in to talk to them.

He didn’t say anything specific, just said that we knew he came to Fengcheng Hotel when we got to the community.

The environment in the shelter was too bad, so Lu Yu asked him to come to Jinrong Community. "We live next door to Aning now. It's a three-bedroom, two-living-room apartment. You can move in with us. We can talk about other things later."

Jiang Ning called Zheng Weili to the window at the end of the corridor and asked, "What are your plans?"

In fact, Zheng Weili didn't want to be disturbed by outsiders, but now is a special moment, and friends still need to help each other.

If it weren't for Jiang Ning, she and Lu Yu would have had to stay in the shelter.

"Lu Yu is actually quite sentimental. He only has you and Zhang Chao as his friends. Besides, everyone has difficulties. The flood will recede one day. Let him live with us."

The food at home is enough to last for two or three months. If it doesn’t work, we can find another way.

Zheng Weili is a simple person who doesn't think too much before she speaks or does things. Moreover, she firmly believes that the world will recover.

The two were chatting by the window, and Lu Yu and Zhang Chao walked out of the room.

Zhang Chao walked up to the two of them and said with a stiff smile, "Weili, I'm sorry to bother you."

Zheng Weili patted him on the shoulder and said, "We are all friends. Just treat us to a good meal after the flood recedes."

After going downstairs and leaving in a rubber boat, Jiang Ning handed a bag of biscuits to Zhang Chao.

Zhang Chao thanked him, tore open the package and gobbled it up, with mist at the corners of his eyes.

Lu Yu also contributed the remaining rice ball.

"I'm sorry to make you laugh."

What's the big deal? Jiang Ning was even more miserable in his previous life. Nothing is easy in this end times.

Back at Jinrong Community, everyone was exhausted. Jiang Ning took out two kilograms of rice and other things he had bought from the supermarket and said, "Zhang Chao, don't say I took advantage of you. When the flood recedes, you have to pay me back a hundred times. Give me 1% more points when you place orders in the future."

The snobbish face, the teasing tone, but it was still the familiar Jiang Ning, who didn't dislike him at all.

Zhang Chao breathed a sigh of relief and said, "I'll give you a 2% increase."

"What about me?" Lu Yu was particularly dissatisfied, "You have to take care of Weili and I's morning tea for a year."

"Okay, leave it to me."

Jiang Ning opened the door, went home, changed his shoes, put on his pajamas and fell on the bed, staring at the ceiling in a daze.

Unlike Lu Yu and Zheng Weili, Zhang Chao, who is in charge of sales, has much greater insight. She has to keep the secret of the space and not let anything slip.

No one went out for the next two days.

Apart from reading and training, Jiang Ning stayed in the house to sort and organize things. He was so tired that his waist almost broke. Finally, he finished clearing out all the goods that he had cleared out from the supermarket, and the supplies were piled up to the ceiling.

The big room is locked and the key is hidden in the space.

During this time, Zheng Weili came over once, and during the conversation, Jiang Ning asked Zhang Chao, "How is he now?"

"He hardly talks and sleeps in his room all day." Zheng Weili had a bad feeling. "He must have been hurt too deeply by that woman. Reality is so difficult. Do you think he will never recover?"

"He always acts so desperate after a breakup, but he's fine these past two days." Jiang Ning rummaged through the cabinet and took out a bottle of white wine. "This is the last time I got him an order. It was a bonus his company gave to a client. He gave me a portion. Let him drink it and he'll be fine."

Men always need to vent.

Even though Zhang Chao is an orphan, coming from a place like that, his ability to withstand stress is stronger than that of ordinary people.

Zheng Weili thought about it and accepted it, and said worriedly: "The typhoon has been gone for a few days, why is the rain still not stopping?"

Not only did it not stop, it continued to rise, making people feel suffocated and panicked.

"Who knows? It might even go up to the 18th floor someday."

Zheng Weili, "..."

It’s really scary!

I slept in the next day and there was a knock on the door.

Zheng Weili came over and called for help, "Zhang Chao drank a whole bottle of white wine last night and was drunk all night. He came back to life this morning. I asked you to come over to discuss something."

After changing clothes and shaving, Zhang Chao looked much cleaner.

He looked at everyone with a serious expression, "I think the end of the world has come."

Jiang Ning started to shudder and couldn't help but look at him.

"Don't you think it's unusual?" Zhang Chao sat upright and began to analyze the situation. "This is an unprecedented typhoon. The heavy rain is like a leak in the sky."

“I heard a lot of news in the shelter that the government went to the grain and oil wholesale market day and night to salvage supplies. The bread or rice balls we eat are made from those grains.

Even if we don't farm, our country has enough food to last for two years. Why do they have to fish out spoiled food from the water for us to eat? And they only give us one-third of the food, and try to dry and store the rest."

Lu Yu was surprised, "It rains heavily every day, and the food can't be transported in at all."

"No, don't underestimate the power of the country." Zhang Chao said firmly, "If only the southern coastal areas were affected, the national rescue would have arrived long ago, unless..."

This is a national disaster, even a global disaster.

Before the Internet was cut off, Zhang Chao followed the news and browsed forum posts. Many places in other provinces were affected by the disaster.

If two catastrophes break out at the same time, what else could it be but the end of the world?

Even if the flood recedes one day, it will be impossible to return to normal in a short period of time. This is why the government is rushing to salvage and store supplies.

After hearing what he said, Zheng Weili and Lu Yu also felt uneasy. "There are many people salvaging these days. How about we go out and try our luck?"

Zhang Chao looked at Jiang Ning, "Aning, what do you think?"

"The water is too deep, even professional divers have difficulty operating it, let alone ordinary people without equipment."

Jiang Ning directly denied it, "Even if we are lucky enough to fish it out, we may not be able to bring it back. Why don't we try to find a way out of the water?"

"But the mall has already been cleared out, so it's not our turn."

Jiang Ning reminded, "We don't have to look for food. As long as we have something that others don't, we can exchange it for food when the time comes."

Lu Yu understood that he had to get there before others and avoid the peak hours, but what was he looking for?

"Medicines." Zhang Chao said, "Now everyone is looking in the mall and underwater. We can look in the office building."

Office buildings are all companies and basically have no supplies.

Lu Yu shook his head. "There were people sweeping offices in our apartment building yesterday. Almost all the office buildings in the city have been swept."

"My company's office building is located in a remote area, where the river network is complicated. Even with a rubber boat, it is impossible to get through at this current water level. Some people have speedboats but no gasoline, so they can only wander around the city."

Jiang Ning agreed, "Zhang Chao and I are familiar with the place, so we can try our luck. If we can find the drugs from his company, our lives will be much better in the future."

The company is not a warehouse, but it has an exhibition hall. The number of medicines will not be too large, but it will be a big gain for small groups.

Moreover, it seems that there is more than one pharmaceutical company in that office building.

Even though I stocked up in advance, it was only 50,000 yuan. Who would complain about having too much medicine? A pill can save your life at a critical moment!

So you have to act quickly, because by the time others have caught their attention, it will be too late for them to get a chance.

After hearing what the two said, Zheng Weili and Lu Yu became anxious, "Why don't we discuss it with 1801? He has a speedboat."
