Chapter 101 Borrowed for Serving (33)
"Let's first look for anything else. After we put the supplies together, we can discuss how to take them home." Lan Jin said.
Then they found some snacks left by the employees in the staff lounge. Of course, they couldn't take those that had been unpacked, but there were some unpacked ones, such as potato chips, chocolates, fruit candies, small biscuits, and all kinds of snacks.
Lan Jin didn't hesitate and stuffed the things into her bag. She said, "Put them together first and divide them up when we get back. This way it will be easier to take some."
After there was nothing else in the staff room, the two of them dragged the water out.
Unexpectedly, as soon as they came out of the staff lounge, they ran into Huang Jinghe and Lao Gao who came looking for them after searching for supplies.
When the two saw Ling Jiang dragging six boxes of mineral water, they were all excited. "So much water, but we also found some snacks, just not much."
After saying that, the two of them showed off the snacks in their hands.
Lan Jin opened the bag without hesitation and said, "Put it in. We found some snacks too. They're really precious. Let's pack them together and divide them up when we get back."
Both of them stuffed the snacks into Lan Jin's bag without hesitation, but they couldn't carry the water and the kayak with them as they climbed the entire building.
Lao Gao said, "Why don't we send the water and kayaks to our gym's warehouse? We can get them when we go back later."
Huang Jinghe asked doubtfully, "Your building only has two floors. It should be flooded by now. Is there still room for things?"
"It definitely can't be on the second floor, but we have a small warehouse on the third floor. It's very secluded. It's connected to the office building here, so we can just go through it from the third floor."
Of course, they had no objection to having a place to put things. The four of them first went downstairs, put the water, kayaks and snacks they had just found in the warehouse, then took a few extra-large bags and started to sweep the floor.
The highest office building here is on the 32nd floor. It is indeed very high and tiring to walk up, but for them who are used to climbing stairs, it is really not that bad.
They first arrived at the 32nd floor and then began to search every office.
But this time they were not as lucky as before. They found nothing after sweeping the four floors. But when they reached the 28th floor, they accidentally discovered a food live broadcast company. Not only was there food outside the company, but there was also a lot of food in the small warehouse inside the company.
Lan Jin said excitedly, "That's a lot. If we move all of it away, it will be enough for us to eat for a long time."
Ling Jiang smiled and said, "That's right. Snacks, staple foods, drinks, everything you need is available. It's really comprehensive."
Moreover, the expiration date of these foods is still a long time. Judging from this situation, the company probably did not exchange the supplies when they were submitted for exchange, otherwise there would not be so many things left. But no matter what, it is a good deal for them now.
The four large bags in their hands were not enough to carry all the supplies inside. They had to make two trips to the warehouse before they emptied the entire company.
Then the four of them went down five floors in a row, but found nothing except a small amount of instant coffee and unopened fruit tea.
After running up and down several floors, it was soon noon. However, due to time constraints, they only filled their stomachs with some snacks and then continued to work.
During this time, Ling Jiang asked her, "Is it really okay for you to leave the child and the dog at home like this? Aren't you worried?"
"There's no point in worrying. I've already left some food. Nana should be able to take good care of Qiao Qiao."
As for the children and the dog, they are naturally in her space. Where could there be a safer place than her space? They just don't know it. So for her, there is really nothing to worry about.
Going down all the way, the four of them found some small amounts of supplies on the 16th, 13th and 7th floors respectively, but nothing else.
But these things looked few, but when they returned to the small warehouse of the boxing gym, they were piled up to fill up an entire corner.
The four of them took bags and sacks and desperately stuffed the supplies in, trying to use every gap to the utmost, but they couldn't fill it all up. Lao Gao gave up and said, "It's true, there's no room for any more. We can't take all these supplies back in one trip."
Lan Jin said, "We can still fit a few more boxes of water on our boat, and we can definitely get the rest out again. But there's a problem. This warehouse is only on the third floor, and with the amount of rain outside, it'll definitely be flooded if we come back tomorrow. So we have to get these supplies out today. Should we send them back first and then hurry out? Or should we move them somewhere else?"
Ling Jiang said, "There's nowhere else to move them. I think we should just move them back today. It's still early, so let's go back and come back to move them. We can get these supplies back, but..."
"It's just that we have to face the gazes of everyone in the community. Let's see if anyone can bear it." Lao Gao replied meaningfully.
But compared to the attention of everyone in the community, it would be a greater pity to waste the supplies, so naturally I chose to make another trip.
The four of them, each carrying a large bag, and another carrying a large bag, started their return journey.
…
On the way back, it was still raining heavily. With the supplies on the kayak, they paddled more carefully than in the morning.
When they finally reached the gate of the community, Lan Jin realized, "The water level has risen a lot. Can we still get back to the corridor we came out of?"
Huang Jinghe said, "As long as you don't get stuck in the middle, you can get back no matter whether you go up or down."
And when they entered the community, they drove all the way back under everyone's gaze.
Almost everyone spoke at the same time: "Did you find any supplies?"
"Of course, look at their bags, they're all packed. They must have found a lot of things."
"Hey, you guys have found the supplies, can you lend us your kayaks?"
"Don't be so selfish, this thing is for everyone to share."
"The guy above is really shameless. This is someone else's stuff. What's wrong with using it yourself?"
"Exactly, but can I rent it? Can I rent this kayak with the supplies I found?"
However, no matter what these people said, they were completely ignored. When the kayak reached Building 12, the water level was stuck at the corridor railing. There was no need to flip it out like in the morning, but instead they paddled the kayak directly in.
However, there were really a lot of people waiting for them in the stairwell. Almost as soon as the kayaks entered, the residents in the building surrounded them.
These people looked around and looked at the supplies they found on the kayaks. Of course, if possible, they would naturally want to borrow them.
The person who can speak at this moment is naturally the building manager Su Han.
