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

After walking about 500 meters into the air-raid shelter, Ye Jingmo stopped.

Let's rest here.

Jiang Li looked into the deeper tunnel, the sound of the wind blowing through the confined space echoing like hell, inspiring fearful thoughts.

Everyone found a clean spot and prepared to set up camp and rest for a while.

Ye Jingmo took out a thin blanket from his backpack, spread it on the ground, used the backpack as a pillow, and beckoned Jiang Li over.

Jiang Li sat down next to Ye Jingmo and asked softly, "Brother Mo, are we leaving tomorrow?"

She didn't know the specifics of the volcanic eruption, but judging from its scale, it probably engulfed many areas, which would bring a lot of uncertainty to their travel.

Ye Jingmo shook his head, "I'm afraid we can't be sure yet. I'll go out and check the situation in a bit, and then we'll decide whether to continue our journey tomorrow."

His gaze swept over Liangzi beside him. "Liangzi, how does your hand feel?"

Zhang Jing tidied the blanket and carefully sat down on it, holding onto Liangzi.

"It's a little better than before, but this will probably continue for some time."

Liangzi had a bitter smile on his face. He was injured on the run and didn't know if he would be able to reach his destination safely.

"dad."

Xiao An lay on the blanket, looking up at Liang Zi with her thin, bony face and concern.

Liangzi patted Xiao An's head, his eyes filled with comfort and heartache.

"There's no firewood here, so let's have this self-heating hot pot."

Qin Yue took out three boxes of self-heating hot pot from her backpack and gave one box to each of Jiang Li and Zhang Jing.

"Don't refuse, these three boxes are almost expired, they'll go bad if you don't eat them soon."

Fearing that the two families would refuse, Qin Yue quickly spoke up.

Zhang Jing took the self-heating hot pot and smiled gratefully at Qin Yue.

She skillfully unpacked the package, took out bottled water, and carefully poured it in, afraid of wasting even a little bit of water. Soon, the steaming aroma filled the air-raid shelter.

"It smells so good!" Xiao An stared longingly at the self-heating pot in Zhang Jing's hand, swallowing hard.

Zhang Jing patted her daughter's head and said softly, "Wait a little longer, it will be ready to eat soon."

Jiang Li took out a few packaged hard-boiled eggs from her backpack, which she had exchanged at the market earlier, and handed them to Zhang Jing and Qin Yue.

"Although it's a small amount, we can still taste it if we share it with each other."

Ye Jingmo stood up, glanced towards the cave entrance, and said, "You guys eat first, I'll go outside and check the situation."

Jiang Li looked up at him, a hint of worry flashing in her eyes: "Be careful."

Ye Jingmo nodded, picked up the flashlight, and his figure quickly disappeared into the dark tunnel.

Inside the air-raid shelter, only the quiet sounds of a few people chewing and occasional conversations remained. Qin Yue ate while murmuring, "I wonder what's going on outside now. Will the volcanic ash affect our breathing?"

Zhang Jing sighed: "Hopefully it won't last too long, otherwise we'll have trouble even getting out."

The atmosphere inside the cave became eerily quiet, and everyone felt a heavy weight on their hearts.

Liangzi looked down at his injured arm, his brow furrowed: "If the situation worsens, we may have to stay here for a few more days."

Jiang Li pursed her lips, feeling uneasy. She looked into the depths of the tunnel, feeling as if something was watching them from the darkness.

"Don't you guys think... something's a little strange here?" Jiang Li asked in a low voice.

Qin Yue put down her chopsticks and looked at her with a puzzled expression: "What's wrong?"

Jiang Li shook her head: "Maybe I'm overthinking it. I just feel like there's something going on in this air-raid shelter."

Upon hearing this, Zhang Jing's expression changed slightly, and she subconsciously hugged Xiao An tighter.
