Chapter 137: Transporting Supplies (33)
Just when they were about to give up, they found a convenience store on the 17th floor. There were a few snacks scattered on the shelves. Without a second thought, they pried open the door and began searching inside. "This is a convenience store, so there must be a warehouse. Let's look for it."
After putting the snacks on the shelves into their bags, they frantically searched the warehouse, not wanting to miss any secret door.
This time I was lucky enough to find more than a dozen unopened bottles of drinks and water in a corner of the warehouse.
After stuffing everything into her bag, Ling Jiang pulled out the red, white, and blue woven bag that Grandma Ling had given her before she left. She said, "My grandma found this specifically for me. She said it's very versatile, so we can bring more stuff back when we go out. I also brought a rope, so if there's too much room, I'll tie it to the top. In short, we can take everything with us."
"If it can be filled, I will carry it all back home even if I leave." After all, the temptation of supplies is really too great. No one can easily abandon the supplies that can fill it up.
…
After searching the supplies on the 17th floor, no supplies were found on the 18th, 19th, and 20th floors.
It was not until they reached the 21st floor that they discovered a pharmaceutical company. In the CEO's office, Lan Jin found 30 boxes of antihypertensive drugs, 20 boxes of antipyretic drugs, and 1 box of opened and used anti-inflammatory drugs forgotten in the corner of his desk drawer.
These medicines are all valuable stuff. If you take them out to exchange, they're more valuable than food. She put them away and, after leaving, excitedly told everyone, "I found blood pressure medication, fever-reducing medicine, and anti-inflammatory medicine. Besides the anti-inflammatory, there's plenty of everything else."
When Ling Jiang heard about the blood pressure medication, he was excited. "Blood pressure medication?"
"Yes, it's blood pressure medicine. Does your grandma need it?"
Elderly people generally have some underlying diseases, so it’s not surprising that Grandma Ling eats this.
Ling Jiang nodded. Her grandmother did have high blood pressure, but she did have medicine at home. "My grandmother bought a lot of blood pressure medicine a long time ago and kept it at home. We have enough at home, but it's always better to be prepared. And this fever-reducing medicine is really good stuff."
"Yeah, that's really lucky."
Afterwards, Lao Gao and Huang Jinghe also took out some cough suppressants and blood lipid-clearing medicines they had found, and even some medicines for treating diarrhea, but the quantity was not as large as what Lan Jin found.
But as long as there is medicine, it’s fine; they don’t pick and choose.
…
After clearing out all the pharmaceutical companies, they discovered a food live streaming company on the 22nd floor.
The company occupies the entire 22nd floor, and food can be found in almost every corner of the company.
Even though there are obvious signs of cleaning here, they can still find these things.
Lan Jin said, "It's obvious that he's a big snack shopper. Otherwise, who would miss something right under their nose?"
"Yes, but you also have to be careful not to buy those that are leaking or open, otherwise it will be a big problem if you get sick from eating them." Ling Jiang quickly reminded her, because just now, she almost put a bag of sausages that had been bitten by mice into her bag, and she felt very disgusted when she thought about it now.
In the tea room, Lan Jin found a lot of instant coffee, milk tea, tea, biscuits, as well as various chips and snacks in the cabinet, and stuffed them all into her backpack.
Then she found various self-heating pots and instant foods in the corner, but the quantity was not large and could fit into Lan Jin's backpack.
Finally, Lao Gao discovered a secret warehouse in this company. There were almost all kinds of supplies in it, especially various instant self-heating hot pots, noodles, flour, biscuits... Almost all of them were in boxes, and Ling Jiang's two woven bags could not fit them all.
Lan Jin hesitated for a moment and said, "How about I send it back first? We have a car anyway, and it won't be able to fit in any more. Why not send it back now?"
Ling Jiang thought this was a good idea. Why bother with all of them being stuck together looking for things? Why not send them home at the same time? She said, "I'll go with you. It's not easy for you to go upstairs and get the supplies if you go back alone. Then Lao Gao and Xiao Huang can continue to search for supplies here. Even though there's no one here, you still have to be careful."
Lao Gao and Huang Jinghe had no objection. They first brought the supplies they found downstairs together, filled the back seat first, then filled the trunk, tied two more on the roof, and put some more on Ling Jiang's body. In short, after there was no room left to stuff them, Lan Jin and Ling Jiang drove away.
This road is ripe, the speed of returning is——
In fact, it was not mentioned.
The road was slippery in the cold weather, and there was ice all underneath. Lan Jin didn't dare drive too fast, so he just drove back to the community at his own pace. After putting all the supplies into Lao Gao's house, the two of them immediately returned to the industrial park.
Unexpectedly, before the two of them went upstairs, Lao Gao, who heard the noise, asked them to wait and then towed two more cars back.
It took four trips in one morning to finally transport all the supplies for the food live streaming company back home.
When the four of them met again in the office building, it was already 1 o'clock in the afternoon.
The four of them gathered together to eat the self-heating hot pot while planning their next trip.
Lao Gao said, "I think this pace is pretty good, but I don't think we should all leave tomorrow. Sister Ling, you should stay home to look after the supplies starting tomorrow, and Sister Lan will drive. She's familiar with this road. When we get back, you can help move the goods. I'm worried about leaving so much supplies at home without someone to look after them."
As for the supplies at home, either Ling Jiang or he would guard them. He wouldn't feel at ease with either one. It's not that he didn't trust Lan Jin and Huang Jinghe, but he was worried that if something really happened at home, these two people would not be able to defeat each other. Therefore, it would be safest to let Ling Jiang guard the house.
Even though there were no other people in the 12 buildings except them, they still felt uneasy.
Lan Jin said after hearing this, "Actually, I asked Ling Jiang to stay home when the first batch of supplies were delivered. She was afraid we would be too busy, so she insisted on coming over."
“It’s better to work slowly when you’re too busy than to work too hard and end up with nothing.”
"Okay, then I'll listen to you." Ling Jiang finally agreed.
After the four of them had a simple lunch, they continued to sweep Office Building No. 2 without much supplies.
Walking up from the 8th floor, they found that there were many live broadcast companies in this building, but most of them were mainly engaged in clothing or cosmetics.
Lan Jin kept some lighter clothes of normal style and similar size. According to Lao Gao, the rest could be used to make charcoal at home, so she didn't miss any of them. She just pushed them all into a box and dragged it behind the car. If she could drag it back, she would drag it back. If she couldn't, then forget it.
