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

The rain was as heavy as ever.

The sewer was spewing water out like a nauseous drunkard.

A shallow puddle formed on the street, which gradually deepened as water accumulated.

Jiang Li, who got up early, went into the storage room, pulled back the curtains a little, and observed the growth of the mushrooms by the dim light.

A tiny mushroom cap sprouted from the soil, and Jiang Li happily sprayed it with water using a spray bottle.

It seems the mushroom cultivation plan is successful, and we will soon be able to achieve self-sufficiency in mushrooms.

Jiang Li closed the door to the storage room. Ye Jingmo sat on the sofa, his brows furrowed, staring intently at his phone screen.

Jiang Li leaned closer, her eyes scanning the screen.

"what happens?"

The screen displays the latest news reports and government notices, stating that non-police, military, doctors, and other special occupational units are required to be on duty, while other units are required to suspend work or business unless otherwise notified.

Scientists have begun researching the issue of water pollution and will soon develop specialized water purification tablets to solve the water shortage problem as soon as possible.

Every word of the news report was intended to reassure the public, minimize their anxieties, and prevent social unrest.

Jiang Li thought back to her past life, and how it was thanks to the efforts of the police, government and other staff that a major riot was prevented.

Scientists worked day and night and invented a portable acid water purification tablet in less than a week. They also developed materials that resist acid rain corrosion, making it easier for relevant personnel to travel.

"The government's response was swift, and there should be corresponding policies in place to address the current water shortage."

Ye Jingmo turned off his phone, his dark eyes filled with composure, and slowly expressed his thoughts.

A knock came from the door.

Jiang Li was about to stand up to open the door when Ye Jingmo grabbed her hand, signaling her to wait a moment.

Ye Jingmo stepped forward, shielding Jiang Li behind him, and looked out through the peephole at the door.

Two men in heavy white protective suits stood at the entrance. One was tall and slender, while the other was about half a head shorter. They were holding something in their hands.

Ye Jingmo couldn't quite see what it was holding.

Ye Jingmo opened the door a crack. "What do you want?"

The two were taken aback when they saw Ye Jingmo. Besides his handsome face, they were also struck by his powerful aura, which made them feel as if they had to be careful when meeting a superior.

The tall man immediately took out an ID card from his isolation suit and handed it to Ye Jingmo.

“We are government employees and need to register our residential information. This will facilitate the distribution of supplies and, if rescue is needed, allow us to quickly determine the number of people to be rescued and avoid omissions.”

The short man explained to Ye Jingmo without pausing at all, as if he had said this hundreds or even thousands of times.

There are two of us.

Ye Jingmo handed over his and Jiang Li's ID cards, and the tall man scanned them with his phone, immediately entering the information into the system.

"Ye Jingmo, Jiang Li. Right?"

After verifying the information, the tall man handed the ID card back to Ye Jingmo.

"The supplies will be one 500ml bottle of mineral water and two packets of instant noodles per person per day, starting today. We will notify you later to come and collect them."

"Do you have any more questions?"

Ye Jingmo stared at the protective suits the two were wearing. "Can we buy the protective suits you're wearing?"

The two were taken aback; this was the first time they had been asked this question.

The acid rain outside is corrosive, and the rain is quite heavy. Most people feel safe staying at home, and who would want to go outside for no reason?

The short man considered his words for a moment before speaking, "We will not be selling them at the moment. The number of protective suits is currently scarce, and there are not enough for the staff going out."

Ye Jingmo nodded in understanding, "Thank you."

Watching the two figures disappear into the distance, Ye Jingmo closed the door.

Jiang Li: "I didn't expect the government to distribute the supplies so quickly this time."

Ye Jingmo: "It's not surprising. Water resources are polluted, and most people don't store water. A person can live for seven days without food, but not more than three days without water."

"A 500ml bottle of mineral water can keep you going all day."

Two hours later, a loudspeaker downstairs announced that everyone should come down to collect supplies and bring their ID cards.

Hearing the sound, Ye Jingmo was slicing meat, while Jiang Li coated the meat slices with sauce to marinate them, and at the same time took the roasted jerky out of the oven.

Dried meat is easy to carry and store. If it's inconvenient to cook later, you can stuff it into any dish for a delicious meal.

Pudding waited anxiously at the kitchen door, hoping Jiang Li would give it a bite to eat.

Should we go down now?

Jiang Li looked at the work in her hands and asked a question.

"No rush, you'll just have to wait in line now anyway."

Ye Jingmo continued cutting the meat without pausing for a moment.

Jiang Li specially prepared three plates of dried meat, the kind without marinating, for Pudding to eat.

Although Pudding already had plenty of snacks, Jiang Li still wanted Pudding to try her cooking.

Jiang Li handed the cooled jerky to Pudding, who obliged by taking a big bite and chewing it with relish on the ground.

Ye Jingmo changed his clothes, put on a mask, and took the two people's ID cards before heading out.

"You wait at home, I'll go down and check on the situation."

Ye Jingmo did not intend to let Jiang Li go downstairs. He was unsure of the situation downstairs, and if there was any danger, he would be constantly worried about Jiang Li's condition if he took her with him.

Even though he knew Jiang Li was capable of protecting herself, Ye Jingmo would not let Jiang Li take any risks as long as he had the ability to keep her in a safe environment.

"be careful."

Jiang Li handed Ye Jingmo a pepper spray and a dagger, without insisting on going downstairs with him.

After placing the dagger and pepper spray in their designated spots, Ye Jingmo closed the door and went downstairs.

There was a long, narrow queue in the hallway, but there were far fewer people than Ye Jingmo had predicted, probably because they had already collected their supplies and gone home.

Half an hour later, it was Ye Jingmo's turn in line.

"Two bottles of water, four packs of instant noodles." After recording the information, the staff handed the supplies to Ye Jingmo.

Ye Jingmo took the things and went upstairs.

Just then, Liu Xueyi walked towards him, her cheeks flushed, her eyes gazing at Ye Jingmo with affection.

Ye Jingmo wore a pair of dark green military boots, and a white T-shirt that accentuated his broad shoulders and narrow waist. His black trousers were tucked into the boots, showing off his long legs.

"Brother Jingmo, I live alone... and I'm a little scared. Can I live with you and Xiaoli?"

As if remembering something, Liu Xueyi quickly waved her hand and lowered her head in embarrassment.

"I won't bother you and Xiaoli, I just want someone to keep me company."

Ye Jingmo coldly watched Liu Xueyi's clumsy performance.

Liu Xueyi waited for a long time without receiving a reply. Her heart skipped a beat, and she slowly raised her head.

He met Ye Jingmo's emotionless black eyes, and his thin lips parted slightly.
