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

Huang Caihe stared at the lifeboat with envy in his eyes.

Today's lifeboats are as valuable as Rolls-Royces were before natural disasters—pure symbols of wealth.

"The nearest rescue site is at the Astor Hotel, which is 10 kilometers away from here. It used to be only a half-hour drive there, but now it's hard to say."

Huang Caihe told Ye Jingmo and Jiang Li the information he knew.

The rain pattered down, leaving streaks on the puddles.

Ye Jingmo rowed the lifeboat from the front using a sailboard, controlling its direction.

Jiang Li and Pudding sat in the back, holding up a large umbrella, constantly observing their surroundings.

The lifeboats are equipped with motors, but they have limited fuel capacity and therefore a limited range.

With Huang Caihe's family nearby, Jiang Li couldn't easily take out gasoline from her spatial storage to replenish the supply, so she could only rely on manpower to paddle for a while.

The stagnant water was filled with the rotting carcasses of stray cats and dogs, as well as various branches and garbage.

Someone saw Ye Jingmo rowing the rescue boat from upstairs and immediately shouted at him, begging him to take them away.

Ye Jingmo ignored their shouts and focused on rowing his boat forward.

Fortunately, we had a tailwind today, which saved us a lot of energy.

Jiang Li took out a map and identified the obvious landmarks that corresponded to them, discovering that they had only walked less than two kilometers.

An hour had already passed.

"Brother Mo, let me take over paddling for a while, you go and rest."

Jiang Li snatched the board from Ye Jingmo's hand and sent him to the back to rest.

Just as Ye Jingmo was about to refuse, he saw Jiang Li's wide eyes, which seemed to say, "You dare say you won't give it a try?"

Ye Jingmo silently sat down next to Pudding, his long legs unable to stretch out, so he could only curl up.

When Huang Caihe's children saw this, they also stepped forward to help their father.

Huang Caihe felt a mix of relief and heartache, knowing that his own children had always been pampered and had never shown him any consideration.

Now, an acid rain that seems to have no end in sight has caused my child a lot of suffering, making him less innocent and more mature.

Jiang Li paddled forward on his sailboard when suddenly, a piece of dead wood emerged from the water and was drifting straight toward the rescue boat.

Jiang Li used a sailboard to push it up, trying to shift the direction of the dead tree.

Good weight!

This was Jiang Li's first thought when she encountered the dead tree. She tried her best to change its direction, but it wouldn't budge.

Huang Caihe also noticed the dead tree, stretched out his pole, and together with Jiang Li, changed its direction.

At this moment, Huang Caihe's child tugged at his sleeve, pointed at the withered tree, and said:

"Dad, the light is yellow."

As the dead tree drew closer, Jiang Li could now clearly see a pair of cold-blooded yellow eyes, rough and tough black hide, and a tail swaying from side to side.

This is a crocodile that is almost two meters long!

Damn.

There's no zoo nearby, so how did a crocodile end up in the water?

Did they swim all the way here?

A jumble of random thoughts flooded Jiang Li's mind, but she immediately shook her head to banish them.

The most important question now is, will this crocodile attack them?

Before Jiang Li could react, the crocodile lurked underwater, its powerful tail swaying and drawing a graceful arc.

Jiang Li gripped the sailboard tightly, standing still and looking around at the surrounding water.

Whoosh.

The crocodile's front paws were positioned in front of the rescue boat, its jaws wide open, revealing sharp teeth as it tried to bite Jiang Li's calf and pull her into the water.

The rescue boat tilted forward under the force of the crocodile, and Jiang Li stumbled and was about to be swallowed by the crocodile's mouth.

"Ah Li, get out of the way!"

Seeing this, Ye Jingmo's eyes turned red, and he threw his umbrella into the crocodile's gaping maw.

Jiang Li's adrenaline surged at that moment. She steadied herself and took a step back to the side, swinging the sailboard in her hand.

Before the crocodile holding the umbrella could react, it was slapped by the windsurfing board and fell into the puddle.

Ye Jingmo pulled Jiang Li behind him, holding a stun gun in his hand, his eyes sharply fixed on the movement in the water.

Pudding clung to Jiang Li's side, its fur standing on end, and it growled warningly.

When Huang Caihe and his family saw this scene, their hearts pounded with anxiety.

Huang Caihe immediately shielded his wife and children behind him, holding a kitchen knife he had taken from home, and looked around nervously.

"Woof woof~"

Pudding barked loudly in one direction.

Ye Jingmo's sharp eyes immediately swept over, and the moment the crocodile climbed onto the rescue boat, he quickly stepped forward and pressed the stun gun against the crocodile's body.

At the same time, pressing the switch causes an electric current to flow through the crocodile's body, paralyzing all its muscles.

Ye Jingmo pulled out a knife hidden in his boot and plunged it directly into the crocodile's head, right through its eye.

The crocodile rolled around in pain, causing the rescue boat to sway back and forth, threatening to capsize at any moment.

Ye Jingmo, however, was completely unaffected, as if walking on flat ground, and seized an opportunity.

The knife pierced through the crocodile's other eye, leaving a trail of blood on Ye Jingmo's hand.

Ye Jingmo kicked the crocodile off the lifeboat, making a loud splash in the water.

Blood dripped from the knife tip, leaving a small pool of blood on the lifeboat.

"Are you alright, Brother Mo?"

Jiang Li immediately stepped forward and grabbed Ye Jingmo's hands, examining them closely, fearing that he might have been bitten by the crocodile.

"fine."

Ye Jingmo let Jiang Li do as she pleased, watching her movements with tender eyes.

Jiang Li took out a white towel from her backpack and used it to wipe the blood off Ye Jingmo's hands.

"That was terrifying. If it weren't for your skill, Brother Ye, we might all have perished in the crocodile's mouth."

Huang Caihe said admiringly, but what surprised him even more was Jiang Li's reaction speed.

Just now, when the crocodile was about to bite Jiang Li, she was able to immediately retreat and hit the crocodile with a stick.

If the crocodile had bitten him, he might have been stunned and dragged into the water.

"Uncle Ye and Sister Jiang are so amazing, just like Ultraman."

Huang Caihe's child, Duoduo, spoke in a childish voice, his eyes filled with admiration.

"Call me Brother Ye."

Upon hearing Duo Duo's address, Ye Jingmo frowned and spoke coldly.

Upon hearing this, Jiang Li's lips curled up and she chuckled softly.

Haha, Brother Mo is being called uncle now.

Duoduo was startled by Ye Jingmo's tone and timidly showed half of her face while clinging to one of Huang Caihe's thighs.

"Brother Ye..."

Ye Jingmo looked at Jiang Li, whose face was slightly flushed and whose eyebrows were like the moon, and he reached out and pinched her cheek.

Jiang Li reached out and slapped his hand away, rubbing her aching cheek. "What are you doing, Brother Mo?"

"Are you happy to hear a child call me old?" Ye Jingmo asked, feigning anger.

"No way! My Brother Mo is young, strong, steady, and reliable. No other pretty boy can compare to him."

Jiang Li coaxed Ye Jingmo with a smile until he nodded in satisfaction.

Jiang Li sighed silently to herself. Sure enough, no matter how mature and reliable a man is, he still has a childlike side.
