At this moment, Jian Ning realized that what was floating on the water was actually an inflatable doll of the same height.
I couldn't help but chuckle. This guy's got some skills! He actually inflated the doll and used it as a boat. Quite ingenious.
"Sister, please don't make fun of me. Our whole building has run out of food. Many people went to the relief center but came back. It's unbearable to stay there. It's hot, crowded, and crammed together."
The government has done its best, organizing people every day to retrieve grain from the water at major wholesale markets in the city.
They couldn't even provide enough food. I figured I had hands and feet, so I should try not to cause trouble for the government. I decided to rely on myself, which is why I came up with this idea.
"Hey bro, stop laughing! Hurry up and get it over there, or it'll run away again and we'll never find it again!"
Seeing that the young man was really anxious, Xiao Lingfeng suppressed his laughter, drove the speedboat over, and let him fish out the inflatable doll himself.
When the young man saw that his doll had deflated from the impact, he hugged her and started crying.
"Wife, I'm so sorry. You've done so much for me, and now you're gone. There's water everywhere outside, and I have nowhere to patch up the hole for you."
She cried her heart out, tears streaming down her face, without any pretense.
Jian Ning touched her nose and felt a little guilty.
With a flick of his hand, he took out a kayak and an air pump from his spatial storage, along with a bag of food, and piled them all behind him.
"Hey, don't cry. I happen to have a kayak here. How about I lend it to you for now? It's better than your wife's, right?" After saying that, he realized that what he said was a little inappropriate.
"Really? There's a boat?" The young man's eyes lit up immediately. He stopped crying and looked around with wide eyes.
"Here's some food, I'll give it all to you. Also, could you go to the rescue center and pass on a message for me?" Jian Ning pulled the kayak out from behind him to show him.
"Of course! You really want it for me? For free?" The young man was so happy that his mouth almost stretched to his ears.
"Really, you just said you stayed at the relief center for a few days, so you must know who their leader is. I have inside information that things are about to change in the next few days."
Severe cold weather is highly likely, so it's best to have the people at the relief center stockpile winter supplies as soon as possible. Make sure they have enough heating equipment.
"Sister, are you kidding me? It's so hot today, how can it be winter so soon? I don't believe it." The young man shook his head vigorously.
"I don't care whether you believe it or not, as long as you convey this message to the leader of the relief center, if you can do it, this bag of food is yours."
As Jian Ning spoke, she took out a bag of instant noodles, biscuits, sausages and other things from behind her and handed it to him.
"No problem, I'll go right now just for the food. But sister, do you have any evidence for what you're saying? Communication is down right now, where did you get this inside information from?"
This young man may have looked simple-minded, but he was quite shrewd. He quickly discovered the flaws in Jian Ning's words.
"Didn't you notice that the wind has shifted to the northwest today? According to my estimate, the weather will change in less than a week. We'd better speed up the salvage of supplies."
Think about it, by then the water below will be frozen solid. Even if there is food inside the ice, can you dig it out?
"It's frozen solid. If it really freezes and there's no food, how many days could it last?" Jian Ning wasn't exaggerating. She was telling the truth.
"Sister, I know, you know how to read the weather! I'm impressed! I'll go right now. How do you inflate this kayak?"
"You don't mean I have to blow it with my mouth, do you?" The young man became anxious when he heard Jian Ning's serious tone. He wasn't alone; his parents and sister were at home.
If the severe cold weather is really coming, we should stock up on more heating supplies at home. After all, central heating is not possible, and there is no electricity, so we can only burn firewood. Do we have to go up the mountain to cut down trees?
"Here's an air pump, I'll give it to you along with everything." Jian Ning handed the air pump to the young man, letting him inflate the kayak himself.
As he left, the young man didn't forget to bring his wife with him. He rowed quite a distance, then turned back and waved to them.
Because he was anxious, he paddled the kayak incredibly fast, as if in a race. In no time, it became a tiny dot and disappeared from their sight.
"Then we don't need to go to the relief center. Where to go next?" Xiao Lingfeng turned the steering wheel and asked.
"Find a supermarket or wholesale market nearby, get a lot of stuff, and store it somewhere. If the relief center runs out of food later, it can help for a while."
Jian Ning suddenly remembered that when she was alone at the rescue center in her previous life, many people had offered her a helping hand.
Uncle Liu, a chubby man, whose family owns a restaurant, secretly gave her a large piece of braised beef that he had brought from home, which he himself was reluctant to eat.
There's also Sister Zhang, who has a cheerful personality. When she gets her period, she brings herself sanitary products and secretly makes brown sugar water.
Although these were all the original owner's memories, she wasn't one to be ungrateful. Cultivation also follows the principle of cause and effect. Therefore, she decided to lend a helping hand this once.
"Okay, let's go now." Relying on his memory, Xiao Lingfeng quickly found the nearest wholesale market. He started the speedboat and headed there.
Because they are far from the city center, no one has come to this market to collect their goods yet.
The two went down to the bottom of the water, turned on their powerful flashlights, pried open the doors of each shop, and collected everything they could find.
They also found a shop specializing in dried goods. As soon as they opened the door, the inside was overflowing with soaked wood ear mushrooms and other dried mushrooms; the shop was piled high with them.
Jian Ning put them all away. Although she wouldn't eat them herself, it was already very good that the people at the aid station could eat them.
As long as it's cleaned thoroughly and cooked, it's definitely safe to eat.
However, these things really took up a lot of space after soaking. She blocked the doorway and stuffed them into the space, accidentally taking in a dilapidated cabinet from inside the room as well.
Suddenly, she felt a jolt in her mind. Then, no matter how she waved her hand or tried to control her thoughts, the jade pendant space remained completely still.
"What's wrong?" Xiao Lingfeng, who was standing next to Jian Ning, noticed Jian Ning's unusual behavior and quickly came over to ask her.
"This is bad, I suddenly have no way to pack things up. It looks like we'll have to use bags." Jian Ning didn't seem very anxious when she said this.
Just now, a consciousness suddenly reminded her that the space was about to be upgraded and could not be used temporarily. Fortunately, she hadn't put the assault boat in, otherwise she and Xiao Lingfeng would have had to walk back underwater.
