Chapter 17 Shopping at the Supermarket for Free



If the volume of space could be increased by two zeros, Jiang Ning would race against time to sweep the city.

Instead of just watching the survival supplies sink, humans would engage in a more brutal struggle for survival, chopping each other with knives for a piece of moldy bread.

Reality is cruel, and Jiang Ning can only take care of herself.

She withdrew her mind and continued to race against the flood.

Milk, yogurt, milk powder, goat and camel milk, soy milk powder, oatmeal, lotus root powder, lotus seed and lily soup, white sugar, rock sugar, brown sugar, etc.

The water has risen to her thighs. She has no time to look at the brands, let alone pick and choose. Her hands quickly scan the shelves. Whether she likes it or not, it is better than feeding the flood.

Various canned foods, dried fruit snacks, chocolate, energy bars, biscuits, cheese, chicken legs, chicken wings, duck necks, beef jerky, mutton cubes, flavored dried tofu, spicy strips, bamboo shoot buns, etc., the space was filled at a speed visible to the naked eye.

After buying a lot of noodles, Jiang Ning came to the fast food area, where there were instant noodles, spiral noodles, hot and sour noodles, and hot dry noodles. However, due to the typhoon, not much was left, especially the instant noodles, which only had the taste of Laotan pickled cabbage.

She was not polite, and she didn't mind the smell of feet.

In her previous life, in order to survive, she had chewed tree bark and eaten Guanyin soil, and in the end, she could only use a stick to dig for the toilet.

When I arrived at the seasoning area, I immediately stocked up on what I needed. I forgot about peanut oil, corn oil, olive oil, tea oil, and blended oil, but there was no space for them.

Soy sauce, oyster sauce, vinegar, and cooking wine, all of which were large and didn't take up much space.

There were dozens of brands on the shelf, such as Lao Gan Ma, olive sauce, bean paste, fermented tofu, and canned ganzhu. I scanned through them all.

If I came across something I liked, I would take out the ones that were soaked in water to avoid wasting them.

Then came the various ingredient packets, boiled beef, sauerkraut oil, red oil hot pot, Orleans chicken wings, and salt-baked chicken powder. I couldn't see many of them clearly when I scanned through them.

The water had risen to my waist, and even though I was wearing a one-piece raincoat, I still felt cold, and it was particularly inconvenient to walk.

But this is the last chance to go shopping. It’s better to grab more now than to fight for food later, right?

It’s a pity that the first floor is flooded, otherwise there would be precious resources.

When the water level was almost up to the chest, it felt like floating, and most of the goods were either submerged in the water or floating on the surface.

It became more difficult to collect supplies, but fortunately the space was already full, even the toilet was almost full.

Just when she was about to pick up the puffed food floating on the water, a beam of light swept past not far away.

Jiang Ning was surprised. There were actually people who bought for free?

Shine with the flashlight, she quickly hid behind the shelf and was on high alert.

She didn't know how many people had come, and she couldn't move freely in the water. If a fight really broke out, she might suffer a loss. Moreover, she had almost cleared out all the important supplies on the second floor. If the space was discovered...

Jiang Ning couldn't afford to take the risk. She took out a portable diving mask from the space and put it on her face. She dived into the water and swam quietly towards the fire escape.

The flood water poured into the one-piece raincoat, making her body extremely heavy.

She held her breath while swimming and taking off her clothes. She floated up and took out her mask to breathe when she couldn't hold it anymore.

From the sound, it seemed that only one person had come.

Jiang Ning breathed a sigh of relief, pushed open the fire door with great force, and walked up the stairs to the top floor.

Without turning on the flashlight, she took a breath and rested, took out the chocolate to replenish her energy, and waited until the dizziness disappeared before walking barefoot to the top floor.

There was no one on the top floor, but the second floor was already half full of water.

When leaving, Jiang Ning glanced at the coveted Hummer in the parking lot.

It was the same model as the 1801 car, not only had a high chassis and strong horsepower, but also had an extremely domineering appearance. It could directly knock ordinary SUVs away, making it a veritable chariot in the end times.

Unfortunately, the space was not big enough, so she chose a more comfortable and versatile RV.

She patted the hood, feeling as if her flesh was being cut.

It won't be long before these cars are all soaked and then washed away by the torrent. What a pity.

The water level rose rapidly, the current became turbulent, and the rubber boat was easily washed away.

Jiang Ning had to take out the assault boat. There were many obstacles underwater, and she didn't dare to drive too fast for fear of breaking through them.

The whole city was plunged into darkness. With the limited visibility of the waterproof mining lights, people could only walk slowly in the water.

The assault boat is easy to operate, but the sound of the motor can easily alarm others.

Fortunately, the typhoon had just stopped and the government was actively carrying out rescue operations. Even if people nearby heard it, they thought it was the fire department's rescue.

Jiang Ning did not return to the apartment, but raced against time to go to another place.

The assault boat drove slowly for half an hour in the dark for a distance of three kilometers.

The flood had already soaked the third floor of a six-story electrical appliance commercial building.

Jiang Ning used a window breaker to break the glass on the fourth floor and climbed in, heading straight for the business store of a solar technology company.

It was the event flyer she received before the typhoon came. It was the latest solar generator. She came to the store to learn about it. It has efficient solar panels, off-grid power generation, and flexible power frequency inverters. It can not only efficiently concentrate light for power generation but also use the mains for fast charging. The most important thing is the battery box, which can hold 100 kWh of electricity.

A full 100 kWh can power several air conditioners or heaters at the same time!

Of course, the price is also very beautiful - 680,000!

Jiang Ning didn't have the money to buy it, but she remembered the store.

Compared with it, other generators are rubbish.

After making sure that no one was in the mall, she took out a crowbar and pried the rolling gate.

The storefront is not big, and she pried open the door and went straight to the new generator placed in the center.

The booth only had a battery box and an inverter. She pried open the storefront warehouse at the back to look for spare parts and found another one of the same model. She installed it without hesitation.

Solar panels, brackets and other accessories take up a lot of space. The rest of the space is full, so they can only be placed on the balcony.

Fearing that the accessories will break, she collected all the remaining ones.

Seeing that there is still space on the balcony, she collected several more mobile battery boxes. Although the storage capacity is much lower, it is already very good to be able to charge directly. There

are still many expensive home appliances in the mall, but there is no space left.

It is already past five in the morning, and we have to go back before dawn.

The water flow is getting faster, and Jiang Ning drives the dashjack against the wind in the heavy rain.

As they were about to reach Jinrong Community, she turned off the motor and rowed to the bottom of the building where the water flow was slow, and she groped for the rubber boat.

It was almost dawn, but she could already see things blurry.

As soon as she rowed to the window of the unit building, she found an extra rubber boat.

No, it was a raft.

There was someone on the raft, putting something into the window.

Judging from his figure, he was a man, and he turned around and saw Jiang Ning.

There was no time to hide, and Jiang Ning immediately became alert...
