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

"What does he want to exchange?" Jiang Li asked.

In the current situation, food is worth more than money.

Ye Jingmo: "He wants six packets of instant noodles."

Jiang Li thought for a moment, then took out ten packets of instant noodles from her spatial storage and put them in her bag.

Bring extra instant noodles; you can exchange them for anything useful you come across.

"Take five more bags," Ye Jingmo said.

Jiang Li glanced at Ye Jingmo with some confusion, but still obediently put in five more bags.

"How about I go with you? It's a bit pricey, but it would be best if we could negotiate down to four bags."

Jiang Li was afraid that Ye Jingmo would be too embarrassed to negotiate the price, so she decided to go with him.

Ye Jingmo raised his hand and lightly flicked Jiang Li's smooth forehead. "You stay at home obediently. Don't you trust your brother's abilities?"

After Ye Jingmo walked out the door, Jiang Li stuck out her tongue and silently complained in her heart.

They just want you to save some of your CEO image.

Ye Jingmo walked up to the middle-aged man selling guinea pigs, squatted down, and observed the guinea pigs' condition.

Upon seeing Ye Jingmo's mental state, the middle-aged man guessed that he must be someone with surplus food at home.

“My guinea pig is very energetic; it crawls all over the cage at home. If it weren’t for the fact that I can’t take it with me, I definitely wouldn’t be selling it.”

"Four packets of instant noodles."

Ye Jingmo confirmed that there was no problem and said in a cold voice.

"Oh, sir. This is fresh meat; you can't buy it even if you want to right now. You'll get four packets of instant noodles instead."

The middle-aged man looked distressed.

"With less than three ounces of meat, they dare to order six packets of instant noodles. If they were more careful, it would be enough to last a week."

The surrounding crowd said indignantly.

"Two guinea pigs aren't worth six bags of instant noodles. If you agree, we'll exchange them; if not, we'll keep them."

Ye Jingmo's voice remained cold, devoid of any emotion.

The middle-aged man was also feeling apprehensive, as the most people who had asked about the price before had offered up to three packets of instant noodles.

The hesitant middle-aged man suddenly became anxious upon hearing the urging voices of the rescue workers downstairs.

"Okay, I agree."

The middle-aged man agreed to Ye Jingmo's request and put the guinea pig in a cage and handed it to him.

Ye Jingmo did as instructed and took out four packets of instant noodles.

After getting the guinea pigs, Ye Jingmo took them home and then went downstairs under Jiang Li's watchful gaze.

Ye Jingmo's goal this time was very clear: to find the captain of the rescue team.

"I want to ask you for some information," Ye Jingmo said directly.

The rescue team leader, Zhou, had some gray hair, and his palms had obvious blisters and wounds.

"What do you want to ask? I'm in a hurry, so I'll ask quickly."

Looking at Ye Jingmo's upright posture and aura, Captain Zhou deduced that he had served in the military before, and his rank must have been quite high.

Although his tone was impatient, he did not refuse Ye Jingmo's question.

Where is the nearest official aid site? What are the living conditions like? Who is in charge of it?

Ye Jingmo asked all the questions he wanted to ask.

"The Astor Hotel. Standard rooms accommodate 10 people. If you want to stay in a better room, you'll have to rely on your own efforts. It's currently under government management, with the mayor and other officials present."

Team Leader Zhou answered all the questions without hesitation, then waved for Ye Jingmo to leave.

Ye Jingmo tossed his bag to Captain Zhou.

"Thank you for the message."

"This backpack contains supplies that we are donating to you. Thank you for your hard work in the rescue efforts."

Before Captain Zhou could react, Ye Jingmo strode away.

When Captain Zhou opened the bag, he found eleven packets of instant noodles, just enough for one packet for each of the rescue team members.

A bittersweet feeling welled up inside him, and he felt that this was the driving force behind his continued rescue efforts.

Team Leader Zhou turned around and called someone over, giving him some instructions.

While waiting for Ye Jingmo to come home, Jiang Li read books about guinea pig care that she had downloaded onto her tablet.

The door clicked open, and Jiang Li immediately stood up to greet it.

Pudding seemed to have smelled something and circled around Ye Jingmo.

Ye Jingmo handed the cage to Jiang Li, who then playfully teased the guinea pig with her finger.

Jiang Li picked up the cage, turned around, and went back into the house, a faint sound coming from behind her.

"Now that they have guinea pigs, they've left me behind?"

Jiang Li stopped in her cheerful stride. "Haha, how could that be?!"

Turning her head, Jiang Li flashed a bright smile, blinked, and quickly went to greet Ye Jingmo, considerately taking the coat he had taken off.

Ye Jingmo was amused by Jiang Li's actions, and a doting smile appeared on his lips.

Jiang Li took out the materials to build the cage and built a 1*0.5m cage in the corner of the living room.

Jiang Li took out clean hay and placed it at the bottom of the cage, then put drinking water in the water bottle.

Jiang Li opened the cage and looked at the two guinea pigs inside.

One ear is white, with brown and black markings on its body; the other has black markings around its eye and a yellowish-white body.

"The one with the white ear is called Little White, and the other one with the black eye is Little Black."

Jiang Li happily pointed to the two guinea pigs and named them.

"Little cutie, you're going into your new home."

I put the two guinea pigs into a new cage. Little White cowered timidly under the hay, while Little Black looked around.

Upon seeing the water bottle, Xiao Hei's little eyes lit up, and he couldn't wait to go up and drink.

Little White seemed to be encouraged by Little Black, and with a silly look on its face, it peeked out and sneakily crawled to the water dispenser.

Seeing that the two guinea pigs were adapting well, Jiang Li stood up and prepared to get them some hay.

A knocking sound came from outside the door.

Jiang Li and Ye Jingmo looked at each other, wondering who would come knocking at this hour.

Ye Jingmo strode forward, picked up the knife from the doorstep and placed it behind him, then walked to the door and looked out through the peephole.

"Is there a problem?"

Ye Jingmo opened the door, and Jiang Li looked towards the entrance; it was a rescue worker.

He handed over a map, saying, "This is a map of the nearby rescue sites. If we are unable to help you in case of difficulties, we can find a way to save ourselves."

Without saying a word, the rescuer handed the blueprints to Ye Jingmo and turned to leave.

Jiang Li's eyes were full of doubt. Why was a rescuer giving them a map?

Is it a free gift for the entire building?

"It must have been delivered by their captain." Ye Jingmo unfolded the blueprints and placed them on the table.

Looking at the rescue locations marked on the map, Ye Jingmo frowned slightly, his fingers tracing the map.

Jiang Li looked at the rescue locations on the map, which included almost all the high-rise and multi-story hotels.

This dense distribution suggests a pessimistic outlook for the outside world.

A thunderclap ripped through the sky, so loud it made one's body tremble.

The sound of rain outside intensified once again, and the sky seemed to be pouring water down like a leak.

The floodwaters rose rapidly.

What's even more worrying is that community workers didn't come to deliver the supplies.

But none of this affected Jiang Li and Ye Jingmo's normal lives.

The two continued as before, exercising, eating, growing mushrooms, and raising guinea pigs.
