Reborn: I Stock Up and Bully the Trash to Dominate the Apocalypse

"Of course. This is good stuff. Your family hasn't eaten fresh pork for how many days! If you miss this opportunity, you will miss it again!" Dong Qingqing snorted coldly, expressing her disdain clearly.

Since the tsunami, the family has stopped cooking on a large scale, for fear that the smell of meat would arouse suspicion.

Zhou Shuwan spread his hands and said, "That's a pity. I don't have any white wine at home. Sister Qingqing, please go find another store to exchange it with!"

"How is that possible? There were wine bottles in the garbage your family threw out..." Dong Qingqing quickly fell silent.

The garbage thrown out is sent by the owners to the garbage boat, and then handled by a dedicated person.

Dong Qingqing said this, it seems that the Dong family has already investigated their own garbage.

Really professional!

Fortunately, their family was very careful when throwing away garbage and had recycled things that were not suitable for human eyes.

Unexpectedly, just a few bottles of wine would become so popular!

Zhou Shuwan narrowed his eyes and took a step forward.

"You, what are you doing? I just came to exchange wine. If you don't have it, then don't have it. Why are you so angry?" Dong Qingqing knew Zhou Shuwan's reputation and didn't dare to argue with her. She threw down a word and turned away.

The speed was so fast that it seemed like a ghost was chasing her.

The Qi family downstairs also encountered an exchange battle as usual.

Of course, Qi Mingyu simply said: "No!"

Dong Qingqing's attitude towards him was much more friendly than towards Zhou Shuwan: "Brother Xiaoyu, who else in our community still has alcohol? My mom asked me to exchange the alcohol. If I don't exchange it back, I will be scolded!"

She opened her eyes pitifully and looked at the other person.

Qi Mingyu frowned and took a step back without saying a word: "I don't know either."

"Brother Xiao Yu, why are you like a piece of wood? Really, I don't want to pay attention to you!" Dong Qingqing stomped her feet and turned away like a little girl.

As soon as he turned around, he was a little stunned: "Zhou, Zhou Shuwan...you, when did you come?"

As she spoke, she became a little angry and said, "What are you doing here?"

Zhou Shuwan raised an eyebrow: "This is the fifth floor, my home is on the sixth floor, I want to go downstairs to do something, are you not allowed to use these stairs?"

Dong Qingqing turned her head to look at Qi Mingyu, who was already smiling gently at Zhou Shuwan, and felt that she had lost face enough today.

In fact, she volunteered to exchange spare ribs for wine, just to show her neighbors what she could do!

"Zhou Shuwan, don't be too proud!" Dong Qingqing suddenly glared at her hatefully and went upstairs in a hurry.

Zhou Shuwan was a little puzzled: "It was you who provoked her, why is she taking her anger out on me?"

Qi Mingyu shook his head, also looking innocent: "I don't know either. What's wrong? Is there something wrong?"

Zhou Shuwan pointed outside and said, "I just heard the sound of gongs and drums, so I went downstairs to see what was going on."

Now that there is no Internet, the property management notification system has gone back to the old ways, where they would ring gongs and drums to indicate that something important is happening, and the owners at home would have to rush over to check so as not to miss out on important notifications.

"Come on, I'll go with you."

Qi Mingyu took off his apron as he spoke. Upon closer inspection, Zhou Shuwan discovered that there seemed to be flour on his face, elbows, and hands.

"Do you cook at home?" Zhou Shuwan asked.

Qi Mingyu nodded. "Grandma wants to steam more white flour buns and freeze them. There's too much flour, and the weather is so humid, so she's worried that bugs might get into them."

Zhou Shuwan smiled: "Can you cook?"

When going to Tianyan Lake Reservoir to fish, Zhou Shuwan heard a lot of complaints from Grandma Pang.

Qi Mingyu, who always seems calm and strong in front of outsiders, is actually a real kitchen novice.

When I entered the kitchen, I couldn't even tell the difference between sugar and salt.

Ask him to fry an egg and he'll almost blow up the kitchen!

Qi Mingyu had already put the apron into the house, and after saying something to Grandma Pang, he came out.

Hearing this, he flicked her forehead and said, "I can't cook, but kneading dough shouldn't be a problem for me!"

Zhou Shuwan wisely remained silent.

They rowed a boat together to the property office.

When most people had arrived, Director Wu announced, "We in J City have borrowed a cruise ship from the neighboring city to transport water from Jiyun Mountain to the water plant. The water plant will be operational again soon, and we won't be short of water anymore!"

"That's great!" Everyone was very excited when they heard this, and cheers filled the entire community.

Zhou Shuwan and Qi Mingyu looked at each other and felt sincerely happy.

"Xiao Yu, Shu Wan, I have something to say to you." After everyone left, Director Wu called the two into the house.

"Xiao Yu, Shu Wan, my recommendation was highly commended this time, and the leader is very impressed. He even asked about you. I heard you're quite skilled, so I wanted to ask you if you'd like to join the water protection team."

"Water protection team?" Qi Mingyu asked.

"Yes, the world outside is too chaotic now. There is a shortage of water everywhere. If the government and the army had not taken over the jurisdiction of Jiyun Mountain and their style of work was not tough, I don't know how many people would go to grab water! Several people would die every day just from going to grab water!" Wu Bin sighed.

"Don't we have supermarket boats in every community to supply water?" Qi Mingyu was puzzled.

But Zhou Shuwan knew the reason very clearly.

Director Wu said, "Yes, but we need our ID cards to collect supplies and water. We can't collect on behalf of others. After the apocalypse, some people have killed countless people. How dare they show up? If there is no water, we can only rob!"

"So, with the cruise ship now in our city, the higher-ups are taking it very seriously. They're organizing a water protection team to escort the cruise ship back safely. Another thing to note is that our J City is deep inland, and this cruise ship will attract countless criminals. Not only will they steal the water, but they'll also take the ship as well. Water will become even more difficult for the people of J City!"

Director Wu looked at the two of them earnestly and said, "You two are both capable and kind-hearted, so think carefully about this when you get back and give me an answer as soon as possible!"

"What rewards will I get after being selected into the water protection team?" Zhou Shuwan asked.

Director Wu's face lit up with a smile. "We're not distributing money now, we're just distributing supplies. Our property management is also receiving supplies, which is definitely enough for a month's food and drink. Since you're a guard, you'll definitely be issued weapons. Also, the cruise ship only makes one round trip a day, so you only need half a day to work. The rest of the time is up to you!"

After a pause, Director Wu looked at Qi Mingyu with guilt on his face: "Xiao Yu, I think I'm going to break my promise about the weapons exchange we talked about that day. My nephew is a fool and insisted on having hot weapons. The vegetable dehydrator is also his, and I can't force him to give it to me... Look, this crossbow arrow you..."

When it came to the latter part, he felt particularly embarrassed.

Qi Mingyu already knew what was going on with his nephew, so he calmly replied, "It's okay, Uncle Wu. If your nephew's place doesn't work, just help me find another one. J City is so big, we can definitely find a vegetable dehydrator!"
