In the dark department store, the lights illuminated the surroundings.

Duoduo held the bowl herself, waving her little hand to put a spoonful of meat porridge into her mouth, but her eyes were fixed on the pudding that was buried in the dog bowl.

The little baby would eat a spoonful of meat porridge and then glance at the pudding, seemingly treating the pudding as a side dish to accompany the meal.

After finishing her bowl of meat porridge, Duoduo took small steps to Jiang Li's side and said in a muffled voice:

"Sister, can I pet the puppy? Can I feed it some meat?"

Jiang Li looked at the remaining meat strips in Duo Duo's bowl. The child's fair face blushed with embarrassment. She patted Duo Duo's head.

"If you ask Pudding what she thinks, I can't force her."

Duoduo slowly approached Pudding and squatted down next to it without making any movement.

Pudding sensed someone approaching and saw it was the little baby Duo Duo, so she went back to eating.

Duoduo poured the meat strips from her bowl into Pudding's bowl and whispered to it, "Pudding, I'm Duoduo. Can we be friends?"

Pudding looked up at Duoduo, then looked down at the extra strips of meat in its bowl. After repeating this action several times, it stretched out its paw and put it on Duoduo's shoulder.

Wang ~

Wang acknowledges that you are Wang's subordinate.

Duoduo immediately and happily touched Pudding's paw, then snuggled up next to Pudding and started playing with it.

Huang Caihe watched Duoduo and Pudding having fun and didn't go over to disturb them.

Since the acid rains started, Duoduo hasn't played with other children her age for a long time, so it's good that she can relax and play with Pudding now.

Children shouldn't be so tense.

Ye Jingmo and Huang Caihe went to the pharmacy on the seventh floor and carried down all the medicines stored there.

Although the pharmacy looks small, it has a lot of medicines stored inside.

Common cold medicines, cough medicines, wound medicines, and vitamins are all available.

There are also some more expensive medicines, such as Angong Niuhuang Wan, ginseng, and codonopsis.

Regardless of the type of medicine, the two of them loaded it all onto a trolley and took it back to the sixth floor.

Huang Caihe also selected three down jackets and some winter cotton-padded coats to take with him.

Looking at the quilts and other clothes that he couldn't move, Huang Caihe was full of regret. If only he could take all of these with him.

To avoid looking out of place, Ye Jingmo also chose two down jackets and some clothes.

Ye Jingmo didn't regret these things at all; Jiang Li already had a lot stored in her space.

However, Ye Jingmo wouldn't waste it. He would find an opportunity to bring Jiang Li up later, collect some of the usable parts into his space, and leave the rest for the explorers later.

Jiang Li saw a cart full of medicines and blankets and immediately went over to help unload the things.

Blankets and clothes are placed to the side, mainly for classifying medicines.

The three of them were working enthusiastically when Duoduo jogged over, her clear eyes glistening with tears.

"Daddy, Daddy, Mommy's forehead is so hot, and her face is as red as the sun."

Duoduo went to the tent to see her mother and found her talking nonsense with her face flushed.

Duoduo touched it with his little hand, and it was so hot that he immediately took his hand off and ran over to tell his father.

Huang Caihe's heart skipped a beat, knowing that his wife must have a fever.

He rushed to the tent, lifted the tent flap, and checked on his wife.

As soon as Huang Caihe placed his hand on it, he could clearly feel the scalding heat.

At this temperature, cooling measures are definitely necessary.

"Give her this fever reducer first."

Jiang Li lifted the tent flap and handed a box of fever-reducing medicine to Huang Caihe.

Huang Caihe didn't stand on ceremony and immediately took a pill for his wife to take.

"Thank you."

Huang Caihe thanked Jiang Li gratefully, explaining that he had just found several boxes of fever reducers at the pharmacy, which should be divided equally among them.

However, given Ye Jingmo and Jiang Li's abilities, it's not impossible for them to take it all for themselves.

Ye Jingmo and Jiang Li generously divided the medicine among themselves, and Huang Caihe truly admired their character. He would definitely repay them in the future.

"You're welcome. These are the medicines we found together; everyone got some. After the fever goes down, take some anti-inflammatory drugs and antibiotics. Just hold on until we reach the rescue site and find a doctor."

After comforting Huang Caihe, Jiang Li walked out of the tent; she wanted to go up to the upper two floors.

Ye Jingmo had just told her that the restaurant on the 8th floor had appliances such as gas cylinders and freezers that could be stored in the space.

Jiang Li's eyes lit up at the mention of gas cylinders.

When there is no electricity, gas is the most convenient way to cook hot food.

Jiang Li went up to the 8th floor and collected all the gas cylinders from each restaurant into the storage space.

Some of the better-looking appliances were also stored in the space, which can be used for trading later if they are powered on.

Jiang Li also packed some clothes and blankets from the 7th floor; you can never have too much stuff.

Jiang Li happily walked back to the 6th floor, having selectively taken some clothes and blankets.

Jiang Li and Ye Jingmo exchanged a glance and then continued distributing the medicine.

Wang Wang ~

Pudding barked twice toward the terrace, and Jiang Li and Ye Jingmo immediately stood up.

This is Pudding's alarm call, indicating that it has spotted something.

Ye Jingmo quickly put on his raincoat, tucked the stun gun into his waistband, and hurried towards the terrace.

Jiang Li also put on a raincoat and stood in front of the terrace door, looking out at Ye Jingmo's figure.

Hearing the dog barking, Huang Caihe came out, quickly scooped up Duoduo and threw her into the tent, then strode over to Jiang Li's side.

A moment later, Ye Jingmo appeared on the terrace carrying a figure.

The figure was wearing a rescue suit, soaking wet, with skin wrinkled from being submerged in the floodwater.

His face was pale, his eyes were closed, his body trembled from time to time, and one leg of his pants was a dark red color.

"Brother Mo, how did you manage to bring someone back?" Jiang Li's eyebrows furrowed.

"This is Captain Zhou, the rescue team leader who came to our building before."

Ye Jingmo put the person on the ground and briefly checked his physical condition.

Upon hearing Ye Jingmo mention it, Jiang Li recalled the map of the rescue site.

It seems we'll have to take another injured person with us. Jiang Li sighed silently in her heart, but her hands deftly helped Ye Jingmo lift up Zhou's damp clothes.

"Huang Caihe and I will handle it; you can wait over there."

Ye Jingmo saw Jiang Li tear open Zhou's clothes to reveal his dark skin and immediately spoke up to stop her from doing anything further.

Ye Jingmo didn't want Jiang Li to see another man's naked body at all; it was like a knife to his heart.

Jiang Li stepped back to let Huang Caihe take over the action she had just performed, occasionally stealing glances at Zhou's eight-pack abs.

Ye Jingmo met Jiang Li's furtive glance, a dangerous smile playing on his lips, which startled Jiang Li so much that she immediately ran back to pack her things.

Ye Jingmo bandaged Zhou's injured foot, but the wound was deep and needed stitches. Due to insufficient resources at the moment, they could only wait until a doctor at the rescue site could stitch it up for him.

Ye Jingmo gave Zhou Captain painkillers and antibiotics to prevent future infections.

“I’ll take the night shift tonight. We’ll head to the rescue site as soon as it’s light. Brother Mo and Mr. Huang will be rowing tomorrow, so they need to conserve their energy.”

Jiang Li volunteered.

"If you can't handle it, just tell me and I'll relieve you of your shift."

Ye Jingmo whispered something in Jiang Li's ear, and Jiang Li shooed him into the tent to sleep.

Jiang Li sat by the lamp, holding Pudding in her arms, alert to any possible situation, and occasionally observing the condition of Team Leader Zhou.
