That's right, after yesterday's chaos, the military and political departments adjusted their strategies in time and decided to send out the army to maintain stability.

Unlike the police, the army will not hesitate to open fire, and their mission is to maintain national stability.

Jiang Ning remembered that in her previous life, the army was also dispatched, and a group of evil elements were executed with iron-blooded hands, which stabilized the situation.

She used a telescope to observe outside, and sure enough, she saw the green figures on the assault boats carrying live ammunition patrols.

The occasional firecrackers rang all morning, and the world felt much quieter.

The gas stove that was soaked in water could not be turned on. Lu Yu spent a lot of time dismantling the portable gas stove, and finally repaired it after replacing several parts.

He was very happy to find a sense of value, and offered to repair it for Jiang Ning and 1801.

The two invited Jiang Ning to dinner, saying that they were grateful for her finding a house to take them in.

Stewed dried vegetables and stir-fried potato shreds.

The potatoes were brought by Jiang Ning, and they already had sprouts. They were scooped out with a knife and then rinsed with hot water.

The dish was simple, but Zheng Weili and Lu Yu almost cried.

In the past 20 days, it was the first time for the two to eat fragrant and soft rice and take a comfortable hot bath.

It felt good to eat with a full stomach, and I felt alive.

"Aning, if it weren't for you, we would be crammed in the shelter."

Zheng Weili clinked glasses with boiled water and said sternly, "Today is a little simple. When things return to normal, I will treat you to a few good meals in a five-star hotel."

"Okay, if there is a chance."

While eating and chatting, Lu Yu said, "The military has shown up, and the situation outside has become much more stable. I heard that the government has transferred supplies to department stores, and citizens can buy them in limited quantities according to their needs. Shall we go tomorrow?"

"Yes, but we have to hurry."

"By the way, many people dived underwater to salvage supplies today."

Lu Yu continued, "The largest supermarket near us was packed with people, but it was too deep and ordinary people had no equipment. I heard that several people were washed away. Some good divers did scoop up some, but most of them were bad and they just couldn't bear to throw them away."

Zheng Weili sighed, "If it weren't for Aning's reminder, we would be hungry now." The

department store opened at eight o'clock, and several people set the alarm for six o'clock.

After a little cleaning, they went out at six-thirty.

1801 didn't go, so the task of watching the house naturally fell on him. It

was only dawn at six-thirty, but many people had already gone out. It took an hour to get to the department store.

We went in directly from the fourth floor. The water world was wet everywhere. Looking up, we saw crowds of people.

The mall was on the sixth floor, but the queue had already stretched to the fourth floor. I heard that some people had queued up last night just to get a chance to enter.

Soldiers were patrolling with live ammunition. Due to yesterday's iron-blooded tactics, although the scene was noisy, no one dared to mess around.

The three of them hurried to line up.

As time passed, more and more people poured in.

The door opened on time at 8 o'clock, and 50 people were allowed in each batch. They were only given 5 minutes and the venue was cleared on time.

The purchase limit was extremely strict. Each person was limited to 2 kilograms of grain, which could be purchased in cash with an ID card.

Three hours in line, five minutes of shopping.

Such an empty mall, not only must you test your hand speed, but also your foot strength.

The three of them discussed that rice and noodles are the most filling, and instant noodles and snacks should never be touched.

People in the south eat rice, and flour is not easy to store in humid weather. Jiang Ning chose rice, while Zheng Weili and Lu Yu ordered 2 kilograms of each.

100 yuan/kilogram!

Don't complain about the price, you can't buy it even if you have money.

The quality of rice is very average, but it's good to have it. It will only become more and more expensive in the future, and then paper money will be too hard to wipe your butt.

Fengcheng has a large population, and rice and noodles will be snapped up soon. The government will release more later, but they are all scooped out of the water and dried.

Not to mention that spoiled food is bad for your health, you can't get it even if you want it.

2,000 yuan is not a lot, so Jiang Ning decided to spend it all.

Zheng Weili was afraid that the rubber boat would break down, so she thought about buying another one as a backup, but she found out that it was priced at 10,000 yuan. The prices of

Lao Gan Ma, dried vegetables and the like also increased by dozens of times. The cost and risk of a trip were too high. The three of them spent 2,000 yuan on a few things, and there was not much

left in their bags. There were more and more people lining up outside, and there was not much rice and flour left in the mall.

When I went downstairs, I inadvertently saw Yang Weicong and Su Mengyao lining up, holding hands and looking particularly close, while the girl in 1202 was at the back, so thin that her eyes were sunken, and she looked listless.

Looking at her, Jiang Ning couldn't help but think of herself in her previous life.

Seeing Jiang Ning, Yang Weicong subconsciously let go of Su Mengyao's hand, and smiled and opened his mouth to say hello.

Jiang Ning turned away indifferently, pretending not to see it.

Coming out of the mall, they left in a rubber boat.

Seeing that it was still early, Lu Yu reminded, "Zhang Chao is quite close to here, why don't we go and see him?" There

was still contact the day after the typhoon came, but there was no news later.

Jiang Ning thought about it and agreed.

Apart from being blind to finding women, Zhang Chao didn't have many bad points as a friend.

She was saved by Zheng Weili in her previous life, and she only had two friends, Lu Yu and Zhang Chao, from childhood to adulthood. If conditions permit, she will still help.

It took an hour to get to the neighborhood where Zhang Chao lived, and I found the 8th floor based on my memory.

After knocking for a long time, a woman's voice came from the room, "Who is it?"

"Looking for Zhang Chao."

"There is no such person, you got the wrong one."

When Zhang Chao moved, the three of them helped, so it was impossible for them to get the wrong one.

The woman's voice didn't sound young, so she should be a middle-aged woman.

"Mom, who is it?" A boy's voice came from the room.

"Stranger, got the wrong door."

Jiang Ning frowned, feeling that something was wrong.

But no matter how he knocked on the door, the person inside just ignored him, and it disturbed the neighbors instead.

Seeing the old lady open the door, Jiang Ning hurried over and asked, "Grandma, may I ask if Zhang Chao lives next door?"

The old lady had a complicated expression and shook her hands at the few people, unwilling to say anything.

Lu Yu had a bad feeling and took out three or two meters from his bag.

The old lady hesitated for a while before letting the three people in. "Are you looking for that gentle and funny boy?"

Lu Yu nodded quickly.

"The young man is a nice person, but he is quite confused. He let the wolf into the house and was chased out."

The old lady shook her head as she spoke. "When the typhoon first came, the woman brought her parents and two children here, and it was the young man who took the risk to pick them up. At that time, I thought they were siblings, but he was chased out after just a few days."

Lu Yu, "..."

Jiang Ning, "..."

Zheng Weili, who clenched her fists, "..."

"He smashed the door several times, but the woman was unwilling to open it. Later, there was no other way, so he stayed in the corridor and was not taken away until the rescue day."

The shelter was divided into areas, and the trapped people in the community were taken to Fengcheng Hotel for resettlement.

Lu Yu couldn't imagine how Zhang Chao survived these ten days?

How could there be... such a hateful woman!

"What should I do now?" He was so angry that his liver hurt.
