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

Jiang Li looked at the gloomy sky and searched for a place to rest for the time being.

She noticed an eight-story building with a department store sign hanging on the outside.

Jiang Li pointed over there and said to Ye Jingmo, "Brother Mo, let's rest there tonight, and we can also look for any supplies we can use."

After Ye Jingmo nodded, he asked Huang Caihe, "Do you have any objections to resting at the department store over there tonight?"

Huang Caihe was anxious to get to the rescue site, but after the previous incident with the crocodile, he dared not continue traveling at night.

Although they carried flashlights, the light intensity was limited, the visibility was definitely not as good as during the day, and the battery power was also limited.

If another crocodile were to appear, Huang Caihe knew that he would most likely lose his life.

Huang Caihe also noticed that his wife was shivering a little, probably because the blankets were wet from the rain.

Perhaps he could find new blankets at the department store, and maybe even start a fire to keep his wife warm.

"No objection. It's a good opportunity to get some food and rest." Huang Caihe nodded without objection.

The windows in front of the department store are all sealed with glass, making them very difficult to break from the outside.

Ye Jingmo and his group could only row to the side of the department store, trying to find a way in.

A terrace extends outward from the sixth floor of the department store, slightly higher than the floodwaters. Lifeboats and rafts are moored on the side; with a little effort, you can climb over and go inside.

Jiang Li's face lit up with joy, and she tugged at Ye Jingmo's sleeve, saying happily, "Brother Mo, we can just go in from the terrace."

"Wait outside for a moment, I'll go check first," Ye Jingmo said.

Jiang Li hesitated for a moment, then finally said only, "Be careful."

Ye Jingmo rowed the rescue boat to the edge of the terrace, climbed over first, and carefully checked but found no trace of anyone having been there.

So he stood at the glass doorway of the terrace, wrapped his hands in a towel, and punched the glass door hard.

After a crisp cracking sound, a crack appeared next to the lock on the glass door.

Ye Jingmo reached in, turned the lock, and went inside.

The sixth floor sells sports and outdoor equipment. Ye Jingmo quickly scanned the area and found a climbing rope in the outdoor equipment store.

This can be used to secure rescue boats and rafts, preventing them from escaping.

Jiang Li and Huang Caihe waited for about five minutes before Ye Jingmo came out.

Ye Jingmo threw one end of the climbing rope to Jiang Li and Huang Caihe respectively, and tied the other end to the pillar on the terrace.

"Use this to moor the boat."

Jiang Li took the climbing rope and fastened it to the lock on the rescue boat with a buckle.

Ye Jingmo pulled the rescue boat closer with force, and Jiang Li held Pudding and let it climb over the terrace.

Then Jiang Li prepared to climb over the terrace by herself, but Ye Jingmo grabbed her hand and wrapped his arms around her.

Before Jiang Li could react, she was already on the terrace.

Huang Caihe's family also approached the terrace, and Huang Caihe first carried Duoduo up there.

Ye Jingmo picked up Duo Duo's clothes and put them down for him. Duo Duo didn't dare to breathe loudly.

Duoduo looked back at her parents with worry, hoping they would come quickly.

Huang Caihe's wife was weak, so he used a blanket to secure her to his back.

He reached out and grabbed the edge of the terrace. Ye Jingmo and Jiang Li each grabbed his hand and held his wife behind him, pulling him up.

"Let's go."

Ye Jingmo and his group went inside the department store and found an outdoor equipment store near the terrace to rest.

When Duoduo saw the tent in the store, she excitedly ran to the front of it, "Daddy, Mommy, little house, can I stay in it tonight?"

Seeing Duo Duo's innocent smile, Huang Caihe smiled back at her, saying he hadn't seen his child so happy in a long time.

"Okay, you can sleep inside with Mom tonight."

Outdoor equipment stores offer portable gas stoves for outdoor use, as well as special fuel.

Huang Caihe was overjoyed when he found them, as his family hadn't had a hot meal since the power outage.

"Should we go upstairs and look for something to eat?"

Huang Caihe placed the portable gas stove on the ground and made a suggestion to Ye Jingmo and Jiang Li.

"Then I'll stay here and keep an eye on things. Brother Mo, you and Mr. Huang go up and search to see if there's anything useful."

Jiang Li said she would stay behind and let Ye Jingmo and Huang Caihe go upstairs to search for things first.

The seventh floor is filled with shops selling blankets and clothes, but there's a shop called Tongrentang in the corner that specializes in selling medicine.

Huang Caihe's eyes lit up as soon as he saw it, because this way he could store some medicine for his wife.

If you arrive at the rescue site and there are no medicines available, you can use these to trade with others.

Ye Jingmo: "Let's go up to the eighth floor first and take a look. Then we'll come back to the seventh floor to get the medicine."

"Okay." Huang Caihe agreed. It would be inconvenient to continue the investigation while carrying a bunch of things, so it would be better to come back for the medicine after the investigation was completed.

Things don't grow legs and run away on their own.

The eighth floor is where you can eat; there are various restaurants.

Ye Jingmo and Huang Caihe broke the locks and went to check the kitchens of the various restaurants.

The refrigerator has been without power for a long time, and some of the meat and vegetables inside have become moldy and rotten.

Ye Jingmo and Huang Caihe searched for a long time before finding some vacuum-packed meat and some barely edible fruit inside.

Rice and flour, on the other hand, have a longer shelf life and did not spoil.

Huang Caihe also found a lot of bottled water in the beverage cabinet, and he took a box and put all the bottled water in it.

Ye Jingmo pushed a cart out of the kitchen of a shop and put everything he found on it.

Jiang Li set up the portable gas stove on the ground next to the tent and poured mineral water into the pot to heat it.

When she looked up, she saw Ye Jingmo and Huang Caihe pushing a stroller back.

"Brother Mo, what did you find?" Jiang Li asked.

"Some meat, fruit, and water. There's also a pharmacy on the seventh floor. We'll get the medicine, clothes, blankets, and things like that after we finish eating."

Ye Jingmo succinctly described the supplies found on the two floors above.

"Meat." When Duoduo heard the word "meat," both of her ears perked up, and her mouth almost watered.

Huang Caihe thought that since there was fire today, he could have a hot meal instead of cooking instant noodles.

"How about Daddy cooks meat porridge for Duoduo and Mommy?" Huang Caihe picked up Duoduo and asked him what he thought.

"Okay." Duoduo nodded firmly.

Ye Jingmo took out the seasoning packet for braised beef noodles and started stewing a pot of meat.

After the meat was stewed, I put a bowl aside and then put the noodles in to cook.

The authentic broth paired with chewy noodles creates an irresistible aroma that will leave you mesmerized.

Jiang Li ate a bite of meat with a bite of noodles, and the delicious taste dispelled her fatigue from the day.

Delicious food is indeed the best way to soothe the hearts of weary workers.
