Reborn amidst natural disaster, my childhood sweetheart and dad help me stock up and win effortlessl

We can also invite the Qin siblings over for a meal then.

After all, it's a traditional festival, so it's always more lively with more people.

As Jiang Li was thinking, she received a message from Qin Yue.

"what happened?"

Before she could even voice her question, Qin Yue had already spoken.

"Sister Jiang Li, are you home? My brother and I are at your door."

Jiang Li was puzzled, wondering why they had suddenly come to her door. Had something happened?

She walked quickly to the front gate, and only after confirming through the peephole that the people who came were the Qin siblings did she open the door.

The two men looked travel-worn, their sleeves bearing obvious scratches and dust, their faces patchy with black and white marks.

They must have gone out to dig through the ruins.

After Qin Yue and Qin Yu entered the front yard, they closed the door.

Qin Yue's face showed undisguised joy, but she spoke in a very low voice:

"Sister Jiang Li, my brother and I found a lot of canned food in some ruins."

The variety is even greater than at the previous market stall.

We were wondering if you'd like to come with us to move the canned goods?

Upon hearing Qin Yue's words, Jiang Li's face was full of surprise.

It takes incredible luck to find a place full of canned goods.

"The opening there is relatively small, making it less likely to be discovered by others."

If Qin Yue hadn't slipped and fallen face-first, she wouldn't have discovered the entrance.

There were too many people on the ruins at night, making it inconvenient to move around, so we thought we'd go during the day.

You should all come along; many hands make light work, and we can bring back more.

Qin Yu and Jiang Li explained.

If we could get these canned goods, we could sell some to the official store and add a lot of points to our account.

Jiang Li was somewhat tempted. She turned to look at Ye Jingmo.

Seeing that he remained silent, she nudged his arm.

"Brother Mo, do we want to come together?"

Three gazes focused on Ye Jingmo, who felt no pressure whatsoever and slowly began to speak:

"We have heat-resistant clothing, so there are no problems with going out during the day."

But how are you going to deal with this?

Ye Jingmo stared at Qin Yu, waiting for his reply.

After all, the daytime sun is no joke; you can easily get heatstroke if you're not careful.

If you don't get to the hospital in time, you could die.

"My plan is to go there in the morning, when the sun isn't so strong and the temperature won't rise to its highest point all at once."

But by then, most of the scavengers had already gone home.

That was the best time to get started.

We will try to wear light clothing and take precautions against heatstroke.

Qin Yu explained his plan.

Ye Jingmo pondered for a moment, then nodded in agreement.

To acquire resources, one will inevitably encounter certain dangers.

Since Qin Yue and Qin Yu were already aware of the danger and had taken precautions, he had no reason to refuse.

After agreeing on the terms with Jiang Li, the Qin siblings returned to their own home.

They need to get some rest so they'll have the energy to move the canned goods underground tomorrow morning.

Jiang Li and Ye Jingmo went inside to wash up.

However, the fire in the hut needed to be fueled.

Jiang Li told Ye Jingmo to go to bed and rest first. She would add firewood to the hut during the first half of the night, while Ye Jingmo would be responsible for the second half.

The two of them took turns adding firewood to the hut.

The sky at six in the morning was slowly becoming brighter.

Jiang Li told Ye Jingmo that they didn't need to make breakfast today because they were a little rushed.

They can simply eat the bread from the space.

However, he doesn't compromise on the quality of his bread at all.

Ye Jingmo has come up with new and creative ways to make bread.

He made two kinds of sandwiches.

Ye Jingmo spread three different flavors of jam on a slice of bread, then covered it with another slice of bread.

Cut it in half lengthwise so you can try all the flavors.

Ye Jingmo also fried two eggs and bacon, sandwiched them in bread, and squeezed in some ketchup.

In this way, you can have both sweet and savory sandwiches.

After breakfast, Qin Yue called.

Jiang Li and Ye Jingmo changed into heat protection suits.

Before leaving, they added more firewood to the hut to prevent the fire from going out after they left.

Qin Yue discovered the ruins of the canned goods, about two kilometers away from the villa area.

It's about the same distance as the base, only its orientation is opposite.

Qin Yue and Qin Yu were both wearing vests underneath, with a thin layer of fabric on top.

They must have made it themselves.

After walking two kilometers, Qin Yue was drenched in sweat.

She wiped the sweat from her forehead, looking at Jiang Li and Ye Jingmo, who were wearing heat-resistant suits.

They didn't seem to feel the heat at all, and their eyes showed envy.

She really wants a heat-resistant suit too.

Qin Yue tugged at Qin Yu's sleeve and asked softly:

"Brother, when we get back from carrying the canned food this time, can we buy a heat-resistant suit?"

Qin Yu also had this thought in his mind.

If you can go out during the day, you'll have more opportunities than others.

"Let's take a look at what we've got. If possible, we'll buy two heat-resistant suits too."

Looking at the ruins in the distance, Qin Yue tugged at Jiang Li's sleeve.

"Sister Jiang Li, it's the ruins ahead."

There was no one to be seen in the ruins during the day.

The place was deserted, with only Jiang Li and three others standing on the road.

Qin Yue and Qin Yu carefully examined the entrance they had found the night before.

The ground was covered with all sorts of scattered stones, which could easily tear your clothes if you weren't careful.

Qin Yue searched for a minute before waving to Jiang Li and the other person.

The entrance was hidden by a large rock, and from the outside, it was impossible to tell that there was a pit underneath.

This pit was likely formed naturally, with buildings stacked on top of each other.

However, only people with a slender build can pass through this entrance.

Of the four, only Jiang Li and Ye Jingmo were able to pass through this entrance.

Jiang Li shone a flashlight on the environment inside.

Inside were all sorts of boxes, and several of them had fallen over, spilling their contents—the canned goods that Qin Yue and Qin Yu had seen.

Ye Jingmo tested the stability of the opening and confirmed that it was very sturdy and there was no danger of it collapsing before letting Jiang Li in.

After passing through the narrow passage, Jiang Li and Qin Yue entered the underground area and discovered that it was quite spacious.

Jiang Li picked up the scattered cans on the ground. The cans had a picture of a fish on the cover. It was a tomato-flavored can of dace.

Qin Yue opened the other boxes.

Canned goods include luncheon meat, corn, beef, yellow peaches, and more.

Jiang Li glanced around; there were at least dozens of cans of food here.

With just the four of them, it's unlikely they could move everything in one go.

“We’ll fill two backpacks with cans first, then have them throw the empty backpacks down.”

Jiang Li and Qin Yue picked up the canned food from the ground and stuffed it into their backpacks without even noticing what flavor it was.

Whatever you catch, you get.

The backpack was stretched taut like a big-bellied frog. Jiang Li gripped the zipper with both hands and tried to pull it together, while Qin Yue helped to zip it up.

It took a lot of effort to zip up the backpack that was about to burst.

Jiang Li raised the backpack with both hands, while Ye Jingmo grabbed the strap at the cave entrance and pulled it up.

The backpack was too big and got stuck in the middle of the hole.

Ye Jingmo gave it a hard tug, and the backpack finally made it through.

"Brother Mo, throw your backpacks down."

Let's put two more backpacks on top.

Jiang Li shouted towards the cave entrance.

With a "thud," the two backpacks hit the ground, kicking up a cloud of dust.

The scattered cans on the ground have been picked up.

Jiang Li and Qin Yue took out new cans of food from the opened box and put them into their backpacks.

They both moved very quickly, and in no time the two backpacks were full again.

Qin Yue looked at the scattered boxes with reluctance; there were still many cans inside.

She spoke:

"Sister Jiang Li, what are we going to do with the rest of these canned goods? Should we come back tomorrow to move them?"

Jiang Li shone her flashlight into the distance and saw a pile of boxes scattered on the ground, filled with cans.

They packed less than a tenth of that amount of canned goods.

suddenly,

Jiang Li saw the small blue trailer that was being pressed down on the ground by three boxes.

She walked over, cleared the box, and took the small trolley to Qin Yue's side.

The trailer had many scratches, and the handle was dented in some places.

Jiang Li opened the lever and looked at the trailer's wheels.

The pulleys are intact.

She tried to move slightly.

The trailer has no problems and is still usable.

With this trailer, they can more easily transport the canned goods back.

"Let's get these up here first, and we'll discuss what to do with the other canned goods once they're up."

Qin Yu's eyes nearly popped out when he saw Jiang Li and the other person bring up a small trailer.

"There are even trailers! With them, we can save a lot of effort in transportation."

Then we can take a few more cans of food back with us.

Qin Yu said with a smile.

Ye Jingmo grabbed Jiang Li's hand and pulled her up.

"Even with a cart, we probably couldn't push all these cans back."

So I'd like to ask for your opinions.

Should we come back tomorrow to move these cans back, or should we just go to the authorities and sell them to them directly?

Actually, this question was mainly to ask Qin Yue and Qin Yu for their opinions. Jiang Li was more inclined to sell the canned food directly to the official company to avoid having to make another trip.

However, this pile of canned goods was discovered by Qin Yue and Qin Yu, so their opinions need to be sought.

After hearing Jiang Li's question, Qin Yu pondered for a moment and immediately replied:

"Even if we bring the canned goods back, we will still trade some of them with the official channels to exchange for points."

"If we just ask the officials to come and move the canned goods, we can still get points, but it saves us the effort, so this is definitely more cost-effective."

“Okay, then let’s load the canned goods we want to take back onto the trailer, and then call Zhou Tian and ask him to send someone to carry this pile of canned goods back.”

This trip will require four large backpacks and a fully loaded trailer.

It can be said that the harvest was very fruitful.

If you insist on taking all the canned goods back, it will only be a case of insatiable greed, ending up with nothing.

Jiang Li and Qin Yue went down into the pit and found an empty box, taking some of all kinds of canned goods.

To avoid having to buy it from the official store later if you want to eat it, which would be a complete waste of effort.

After passing five boxes up to the top, Ye Jingmo looked at the fully loaded trailer and shouted into the pit:

"The trailer is full, please get on."

With the help of Ye Jingmo and Qin Yu, Jiang Li and Qin Yue quickly reached the ground.

Qin Yue was panting heavily, and large beads of sweat were dripping from her forehead.

Temperatures are starting to rise now.

The pit below is a confined environment with thin air, giving one a feeling of suffocation.

The only saving grace is that the temperature underground is lower than above ground, so it's a bit cooler inside.

Qin Yu quickly picked up the water bottle he had just placed on the ground and held it to Qin Yue's lips.

The water bottle contained mineral water specially prepared for this trip, with added salt, sugar, and other ingredients to quickly replenish energy.

Avoid electrolyte imbalance caused by sweating in high temperatures.

Qin Yue started gulping down water from the bottle, only stopping after she had drunk half of it.

"Hoo hoo!"

After drinking the water, Qin Yue's inner turmoil subsided somewhat.

Jiang Li also took out a water glass, pulled off her face mask, and drank some water.

This is lemon honey water that she specially made; it's sweet and sour and very thirst-quenching.

After Jiang Li and Qin Yue rested for a while, Qin Yu slowly spoke:

"Should we notify Zhou Tian to come over now?"

Otherwise, if we wait any longer, the sun will become increasingly intense, and we simply won't be able to stay in such high temperatures for long.

Jiang Li nodded and immediately dialed Zhou Tian's number.

"We found a place with lots of canned goods."

So I'd like to make a deal with the official team and sell you these canned goods in exchange for points.

"Come over right away if you want, we'll be waiting for you here."

Upon hearing this major news, Zhou Tian, ​​who was sitting on a stool, stretched his legs forward.

"Fuck."

The stool scraped across the floor with a screeching sound.

"Tell me the address, and we'll be there right away."

Points are all negotiable.

Jiang Li sent the address to Zhou Tian and waited for him to come over.

Upon receiving the news, Zhou Tian immediately rushed to the logistics department.

He grabbed the logistics minister's hand and rushed out.

The logistics minister's name is Li Wenxuan, and he lives up to his name.

He was a handsome middle-aged man with a calm and unhurried smile on his face.

What are you doing, in such a hurry?

"Slow down, you're pulling so hard I almost fell."

Li Wenxuan was just calculating the existing supplies when Zhou Tian hurriedly dragged him out, leaving him completely bewildered.

"A big business opportunity, do you want to do it?"

"What big business?"

Li Wenxuan didn't quite understand what Zhou Tian was saying.

Life is like the famine years of the past, everyone is destitute, what business can be done?

"It's the family I told you about before; they found another bunch of canned goods."

They wanted to exchange canned goods for points, so they were just waiting for us to come and take the cans away.

Before Zhou Tian could finish his last sentence, Li Wenxuan grabbed him and ran forward.

Zhou Tian stumbled, almost falling flat on his face.

"Hurry up and leave, what are we waiting for? What if they change their mind later?"
