In a year of natural disasters, the young woman had billions of resources to build a paradise.

Ninth Sister looked at Sixth Sister with slight displeasure, "I thought you were the most reliable and thorough in your actions, so why did you make the first mistake? Mianmian's dream contained many things she doesn't know yet, so it must be a precognitive dream. Besides, we've made preparations, so wouldn't it be better if nothing happened? And if something does happen, we can get through it safely!"

Upon hearing this, the women who had been somewhat hesitant all voiced their agreement.

"That makes sense. Anyway, the things we buy won't spoil. It's just a bit of a hassle, but what's the big deal?"

"I'm willing to trust Mianmian. Let's prepare and observe as we go."

Sixth Sister could only smile awkwardly, "I'm getting old, please understand that my mind isn't working very well."

"Then you two can discuss it slowly. I'll go rent a house first."

Seventh Sister, always in a hurry, immediately got up and walked out, saying, "I'll come back in a bit and tell you where to move the things."

Everyone nodded and began to calculate how much silver they could contribute.

Jiang Mianmian took a small handful of loose silver from the warehouse, mixed it with the silver given to her by Granny Ye, and stuffed it into Jiu Niang's hand, winking at her.

Jiu Niang didn't dare to ask any more questions. She simply put the money in a pile with everyone else's and chatted casually for a few minutes.

Now that they had enough money, they each took on their tasks.

Finally, it was Jiu Niang and Jiang Mianmian who went up the mountain to choose a location.

Third Sister and Sixth Sister, being slightly older, stayed in the building with Little Twenty-Five to pack and tidy up each room. The rest of the people went back to their rooms to change into men's clothing, preparing to go out shopping.

"We must go up the mountain on the 25th, we must go out!"

Little Twenty-Five was very unhappy, her fair and tender face puffed out.

Jiang Mianmian took out a piece of paper. "Sister Mianmian has something very important to do, and I need Xiao Nianwu to handle it."

"Uh? What's up? The 25th is fine!"

She used to be a little beggar and knows many other beggar brothers; she has a wide network of connections!

"Can you memorize this song by the age of twenty-five? After you have memorized it, go to the beggar brothers at night and ask them to spread it as soon as possible."

Twenty-five, with a serious expression, repeated after her word by word: "The earth dragon brings torrential rain and natural disasters; giant rocks destroy fields and flood the county. Quickly flee east for your lives, or you will meet your doom in the Yellow Springs!"

She memorized it after only reading it a few times.

Jiang Mianmian then taught her how to speak and when and where to collect her payment.

I wrote it down on the 25th, afraid of forgetting it, and kept muttering to myself to deepen my memory.

Jiang Mianmian handed her over to San Niang, instructing her that if she couldn't return that night, San Niang should take her to find the beggars. She only had one thing to say: she must wait until the supplies were bought before spreading the news, otherwise it might be very difficult to buy more supplies.

Third Sister understood, but was worried about their safety going up the mountain. "Why don't you let the Lin brothers go with you?"

"No, the two of us are fine."

Jiang Mianmian had a plan in mind; bringing too many people would be inconvenient.

She added, "Once the rumors start to circulate tomorrow, Third Sister, give them the indenture and let them go."

The only guards at Lingxiao Tower were these two brothers, and the only servant was Granny Niu from the kitchen. They did not see these three when they met again in their previous life.

She didn't know what had happened then, but the more people there were, the more dangerous it was. Of course, if they genuinely wanted to stay, that would be a different story.

Seeing that she had a plan, Third Sister stopped trying to persuade her and took Twenty-Five to get busy.

Jiang Mianmian and Jiu Niang changed into light and warm clothes, put on oilcloth raincoats, and quietly slipped out through the back door.

A light drizzle continued, and around Lingxiao Tower, a dozen or so people ran in different directions.

The gears of fate were suddenly set in motion, beginning to deviate from their predetermined course.

The terrain of Fengshui County gradually rises from west to east, and the number of mountains gradually increases, so the villages are basically located on the west side.

However, when the rainstorm came, the villages were the first to be flooded, and the rain also washed away the rocks and mud from the low hills, which then flowed into the farmland.

The mountains to the east are very stable, and there are many large caves deep in the mountains. Many people eventually escaped there after wandering around.

Since we're planning to move ahead of time, we should go all out and secure the biggest and best cave!

As the population dwindled, Jiang Mianmian found a secluded spot. "Ninth Sister, wait here for me. I'm going into the warehouse to get something."

"You can still go in? When will you be back?"

Jiu Niang looked around nervously.

"soon!"

As soon as she finished speaking, Jiang Mianmian had already slipped into the supplies warehouse.

She had personally prepared everything inside and was very familiar with it. Without pausing after landing, she ran into the emergency zone.

Everything in the emergency zone was prepared in advance: backpacks, bottled water, first-aid supplies, simple tents, military coats, various vehicles, and so on. Each backpack was pre-filled with supplies, including compressed biscuits, instant noodles, water, medicine, and essential daily necessities, with different emphases depending on size and type.

She grabbed a small backpack, a hiking pole, chose an electric mountain bike that could carry people, and a box of chocolates, and hurried out.

[Warehouse usage time settlement: 58 seconds, Merit -10, Remaining Merit 160.]

Jiang Mianmian couldn't help but marvel at her own foresight.

Otherwise, it would take a long time to find all these things, and taking them one by one would be a waste of merit points!

To Jiu Niang, this was as if a person had suddenly disappeared and then reappeared with many strange and unusual things.

"What amazing magic!"

She touched the backpack. "This fabric...it looks a bit like oilcloth?"

"Yes, it's waterproof too."

Jiang Mianmian took a bottle of water out of her bag, unscrewed it, and handed it to her, saying, "When I ride my bike later, make sure you sit tight and drink some water first."

"Riding a bike? Is this water?"

Jiu Niang's mind went blank again, and she didn't know which one to study first!

"Have a piece of chocolate! To replenish your energy!"

Jiang Mianmian popped a piece of chocolate into her mouth, then equipped her with a backpack and trekking poles before getting on the electric mountain bike. "Come on, let's talk as we go!"

"This chocolate is both bitter and sweet, even better than lotus flower pastries!"

Jiu Niang followed suit and sat down, still praising it.

Jiang Mianmian turned around and fastened the special seatbelt around her, the two of them tightly connected, "Hold me tight!"

"Is that so... Ah!!"

Just as Jiu Niang freed one hand to hug her, before she could even ask the question, Jiang Mianmian twisted the handlebars and sped off!

"Don't be afraid, I'm a great driver!"

Although she was riding through a slightly shady forest, Jiang Mianmian felt quite cheerful.

When completing a mission deep in the mountains, she tried climbing on foot, but it was slow and tiring!

She had already planned to take Jiu Niang and the others to hide in a deep mountain cave, but she couldn't stay in the cave every day. After ensuring their safety, she still had many things to do, such as dealing with the Jiang family!

It's definitely not enough to just walk back and forth.

So she prepared spirit swords and flying vehicles from the world of fantasy, as well as several kinds of off-road vehicles, mountain bikes, electric mountain bikes, and electric mountain bikes. She practiced each of them extensively to ensure that she could use whichever one she wanted!

Unfortunately, this world lacks spiritual energy, so we can't use spirit swords or flying machines, but electric mountain bikes are perfect! They're powerful enough, agile enough, and can even carry people!

The whistling wind and the rain hitting her face told her that all the blood and sweat she had shed and all the preparations she had made were worthwhile!

Jiu Niang was initially very nervous, but the grass blades swept past her feet, and she was surrounded by the fresh scent of leaves and drizzle.

The novel experience she had never had before made her forehead break out in a light sweat, and her heart pounded wildly, almost leaping out of her chest, but the next second it remained firmly inside her chest.

The speed increased, her heartbeat became more steady, and she enjoyed it more and more. "Mianmian! You're so amazing! Jiu Niang is so proud!"
