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

"Brother Mo, the mushrooms are ready to be picked."

When Jiang Li went to the storage room this morning to check on the growth of the mushrooms, she found that they were already mature.

She immediately rushed out of the storage room and pulled Ye Jingmo in to see the fruits of their labor together.

What could be more joyful than a bountiful harvest during times of scarcity?

Each basin was covered with densely packed mushrooms, their caps huge and thick, looking delicious.

The two of them buried themselves in the storage room, carefully picking mushrooms.

Pudding followed in and began to use its paws to dig through the soil and pick mushrooms for Jiang Li.

"Pudding, go out quietly, we'll take care of things here."

Jiang Li looked at the marks Pudding had made on the mushroom, and her heart bled.

My beautiful mushroom!

Without Pudding causing trouble, three large basins full of mushrooms covered in soil appeared in the living room.

Ye Jingmo washed the mushrooms one by one with water, and the water in the basin turned from clear to muddy yellow.

Jiang Li used a small shovel to rebury the disturbed mushroom spawn and then leveled the soil.

The spawn can be repeatedly planted several times, and in another ten days or so, another batch of mature mushrooms will be available.

Jiang Li's eyes sparkled as she sprayed water on the bacteria again, muttering to herself.

Little mushroom, grow up quickly, so you can come inside our bellies and play.

On the lunch table were a mixed mushroom dish, oyster mushroom and egg soup, and stir-fried mushrooms with meat, all made from freshly picked mushrooms.

The thick mushroom, once in your mouth, releases a unique mushroom aroma that spreads throughout your oral cavity.

Suddenly, a loud knocking sounded on the door, and Jiang Li's hand, which was reaching out to pick up some food, froze in mid-air.

Lately, many people have been knocking on doors, using their pitiful appearance to gain sympathy and try to obtain charity and food to survive.

Some people even use their own bodies as a bargaining chip, just to get enough food to fill their stomachs.

Although Jiang Li disliked this behavior, it was a matter of mutual consent, and no one could say anything about it.

Besides, what does physical appearance matter when it comes to survival? A piece of bread is more practical.

Jiang Li put all the dishes on the table into the space to prevent people outside the door from smelling the odor.

Ye Jingmo walked to the door and saw seven or eight people gathered outside through the peephole.

The person leading the group was a resident surnamed Huang from the 11th floor.

Ye Jingmo had some impression of this person. After thinking for a moment, he realized that he seemed to be involved in materials research.

"We've built a boat and are planning to go to the two-story convenience store outside the neighborhood to find food. Do you want to join us?"

Huang Caihe's reason for trying to win over Ye Jingmo was simple: he thought that Ye Jingmo, who had attended a military academy, would definitely be more agile than them.

Moreover, those who have served in the military have noble character and are able to take the lead in emergencies.

"We will distribute the supplies according to each person's contribution."

Fearing that Ye Jingmo might worry that they would hoard the supplies, Huang Caihe immediately added.

"I'm not joining. You can all leave now."

Ye Jingmo did not open the door, but directly refused in a deep voice.

It's still raining acid outside, and the stagnant water is corrosive; going out would be too risky.

If there really is no food left at home, Ye Jingmo might risk going out with them to find food for Jiang Li's sake.

However, now that they have ample supplies, Ye Jingmo will not abandon Jiang Li and risk going out to find food.

"Ok."

Huang Caihe tried to persuade Ye Jingmo several times, but Ye Jingmo did not agree, so he could only leave regretfully.

Huang Caihe said that the boat made of materials is not accurate; it is at most a raft.

He made two rafts out of the materials, but he didn't know what they were made of. They weren't corroded when they were submerged in water.

In the rain, they covered their bodies with thick blankets to prevent acid rain from coming into contact with their skin.

Jiang Li watched from the windowsill as the two rafts carrying people slowly drifted away.

"Brother Mo, do you think they'll be able to find the supplies?"

Jiang Li turned to look at Ye Jingmo and asked a question.

"It's highly likely. The convenience store at the entrance hasn't been open since the acid rain started. If they can open the second-floor window, they can retrieve the items from there."

Ye Jingmo sat back down at the dining table, and Jiang Li followed him over.

They brought out the dishes from the space and continued eating.

As evening fell, Jiang Li sat on the sofa reading a novel she had downloaded on her phone.

There was some noise coming from downstairs.

Jiang Li looked down and saw Huang Caihe and his group looking disheveled, but with expressions of surprise on their faces, and carrying bulging bags on their backs.

The already conflicted residents were extremely envious of Huang Caihe and his group's haul, and they all came to him hoping he could take them out with him.

Huang Caihe refused the requests from those who came to him, including Wang Yi, on the grounds that the raft could not carry too many people.

Wang Yi slammed the door shut with a loud bang.

He sat down on the sofa, getting angrier the more he thought about it. Huang Caihe had invited Ye Jingmo out, but when he came to her door, she directly refused him.

Isn't this looking down on him?

He grabbed a cardboard box and slammed it to the ground.

You look down on me? Who do you think you are? You're just relying on those two broken rafts. I'll smash them to pieces.

As if he had just thought of something, Wang Yi revealed a wicked expression.

There was a gentle knock on the door. Wang Yi opened it impatiently, and there stood Liu Xueyi, wearing a white dress.

She wore light makeup, shyly clutching the hem of her skirt, and asked in a low voice.

Did I bother you, Brother Wang?

Wang Yi's impatience vanished instantly, and he stammered, "No...no, Xueyi, is there something you need from me?"

Wang Yi welcomed Liu Xueyi into his home and sat down next to her.

"Brother Wang, I'd like to borrow some food from you. You know how the world is these days; it's not easy for a weak woman like me to survive."

As she spoke, Liu Xueyi covered her face with her hands, her voice trembling with sobs, looking utterly pitiful.

Wang Yi immediately pulled Liu Xueyi into his arms and patted her back.

"Xueyi, don't cry. I have a way to get food, but we have no relationship whatsoever..."

Liu Xueyi knew exactly what Wang Yi meant, and rolled her eyes where Wang Yi wasn't looking.

If it weren't for the current circumstances, it would be a pipe dream for a thug like Wang Yi to even get close to her.

However, if she wants to use him to get food, then she has no choice but to submit to him.

Thinking of Wang Yi, who was worlds apart from Ye Jingmo, Liu Xueyi felt nauseous.

However, in order to survive, Liu Xueyi treated Wang Yi with even more tenderness and affection.

A pair of soft hands held Wang Yi's hand, her face flushed, and Liu Xueyi's watery eyes stared directly at Wang Yi.

"Look at what Brother Wang is saying, I'm your woman from now on. You'd better treat me well."

Wang Yi kissed Liu Xueyi with satisfaction, then picked her up and carried her straight to the bedroom.

After their passionate encounter, Liu Xueyi nestled in Wang Yi's arms and asked him how they could obtain food.

Wang Yi told Liu Xueyi about his plan, and the two plotted in the dim night, fantasizing about the countless resources they would obtain when the plan succeeded.
