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

Soldiers patrolling around the hotel on rescue boats immediately stepped forward to stop Ye Jingmo and his group when they saw them approaching.

"Who are you?"

“We are residents who suffered nearby. We came here after hearing that there was a relief site.”

Huang Caihe answered with a fawning smile and utmost respect, as if afraid that if he answered incorrectly, he would be stopped outside the hotel.

"The living space inside is quite cramped right now; we can only guarantee your survival. We hope you can understand."

The soldiers described the living conditions inside to Huang Caihe, preparing them mentally.

"Ah Yao," Zhou Tian called out to the soldier in front of Huang Caihe.

The soldier named A Yao approached curiously when he heard someone call his name.

Upon seeing that it was Zhou Tian, ​​he immediately became excited.

"Captain Zhou, you're back. Battalion Commander Zhou was extremely worried when he heard you were missing, and he even considered going out to look for you himself."

Ah Yao is a soldier under Zhou Tian's younger brother, and he is quite familiar with Zhou Tian.

"I'm lucky I was rescued." Zhou Tian smiled.

Ah Yao immediately sent someone to inform Battalion Commander Zhou that Captain Zhou had been found.

Ye Jingmo and his group were led through an opening on the fifth floor into the building, and soon stepped onto the dry ground.

Jiang Li looked at the rescue boat stuck in the water, unsure of what to do.

If you just leave it here, it will probably disappear in a few minutes.

But I can't put it away in my space right now, and it's a big burden to carry it around.

The accompanying soldier noticed the conflict on Jiang Li's face and said to her:

"Our army rents rescue boats from residents for rescue operations, and provides them with two packs of instant noodles a day as compensation."

"And if you need to retrieve the rescue boat, it can be returned to you."

This is great news.

Renting a rescue boat allows you to conduct rescue operations and also earn a certain amount of money.

Jiang Li was tempted.

She and Ye Jingmo exchanged a glance, then she asked:

"Are there any procedures required for this?"

"You can sign the lease agreement later. If you're interested, we'll take the rescue boat with us."

The soldiers were delighted to hear that Jiang Li was willing to rent the rescue boat.

After all, many people are still trapped in the floodwaters, and having rescue boats can at least save some of them.

Upon hearing this, Huang Caihe shamelessly approached and asked, "Hello, can I rent my raft?"

The soldier looked at Huang Caihe's raft, hesitated for a moment, and then spoke.

"We can, but we can only offer the price of one bag of instant noodles per day."

They don't mind using rafts since there's a lack of other modes of transportation, but rafts can't compare to rescue boats.

Huang Caihe didn't mind the low price; he was already very grateful to have food at all, so why would he complain?

"No problem, I agree."

The soldiers led Ye Jingmo and his group to the population registration office.

It was called a registration office, but it was really just two simple tables and chairs placed near the elevator on the sixth floor.

A middle-aged man in uniform sat on a stool, propping his head up with his hand and drawing circles with a pen.

The soldier tapped on the table, startling the middle-aged man, who immediately stood up from his stool.

The middle-aged man then noticed that the soldier was standing in front of the table with Ye Jingmo and his group.

He slumped down onto the stool, his eyes filled with impatience, and threw his pen aside.

"More refugees, there's not enough space for them to live."

The middle-aged man muttered a few complaints under his breath before finally looking at the group of people in front of him.

"what for?"

The middle-aged man asked lazily.

"We are residents who were rescued. Could you arrange accommodation for us with fewer people?" Huang Caihe said in a low voice.

"Housing is in short supply right now. Ten people sharing a room is already considered pretty good. We don't have any other options for you."

The middle-aged man shouted at Huang Caihe, thinking that Huang Caihe's idea was simply out of the ordinary.

He's considered an official here, but he still has to squeeze into a tiny double room with other people.

"I remember there are two double rooms left on the 22nd floor. Let's give my spot to them."

Upon hearing from his men that they had found his brother, Battalion Commander Zhou rushed to the registration office without stopping.

Upon hearing this voice, the middle-aged man looked up to see who had such authority as to directly assign two double rooms to him.

"Battalion Commander Zhou..."

The middle-aged man's gloomy expression immediately turned into a smile, and he bowed and scraped to Battalion Commander Zhou.

The highest military rank here is Battalion Commander Zhou, who holds command over all the soldiers.

This is not someone he, a mere registration office employee, could afford to offend.

Battalion Commander Zhou was wearing a military green uniform, which was so neat that there wasn't a single wrinkle.

However, his stubble-covered face was etched with fatigue, and the dark circles under his eyes indicated that he hadn't been getting enough rest lately.

The safety of the people and the well-being of his brother weighed heavily on Battalion Commander Zhou's heart.

Fortunately, Zhou Tian was rescued and taken back to the rescue site.

"So you're a relative of Battalion Commander Zhou. Why didn't you say so earlier? I would have definitely arranged accommodations for you."

The middle-aged man immediately registered in the register and handed the room key to Ye Jingmo and Huang Caihe.

"These are the room cards for rooms 2201 and 2202. Please keep them safe."

Battalion Commander Zhou led his group to the military's lounge on the 6th floor.

It was daytime, and the soldiers were patrolling outside. The interior was empty, except for neatly arranged beds.

"Brother, how are you?"

As soon as Battalion Commander Zhou entered the room, he eagerly went up to inquire about Zhou Tian's situation.

"It's nothing, just a cut on my leg."

Zhou Tian didn't want his younger brother to worry about his situation, so he just mentioned it casually.

Battalion Commander Zhou was relieved to see that Zhou Tian was in good spirits.

He looked up and carefully examined Ye Jingmo and his group, his serious gaze seemingly able to see through their souls.

When Battalion Commander Zhou saw the tall and imposing Pudding squatting next to Jiang Li, he was slightly taken aback.

The fact that you can still afford a dog in this situation means you're quite wealthy.

At least they shouldn't have rescued Zhou Tian for personal gain.

suddenly!

Battalion Commander Zhou bowed solemnly to Ye Jingmo and his group.

"Thank you for saving my brother."

Jiang Li quickly waved her hand, "No need for that, Captain Zhou was injured while on a rescue mission."

“Anyone with a conscience would have stepped forward to help, and we didn’t do much.”

After listening to Jiang Li's words, Battalion Commander Zhou had a very good impression of Jiang Li and his group.

"If you need anything at the rescue site, you can contact me. I will do my best to help you with anything I can."

Jiang Li knew that for Battalion Commander Zhou, as a commander, to make such a promise was a very valuable reward.

"I'd like to ask if there are any doctors at the rescue site? My wife needs to see a doctor."

Huang Caihe interjected, saying he wanted his wife to receive treatment as soon as possible so she could recover quickly.

Battalion Commander Zhou also remembered Zhou Tian's injuries. "The doctor is on the 15th floor. Brother, why don't you come with me? I'll carry you up."

The hotel has 33 floors, and the doctor was placed on the 15th floor for the convenience of residents going up and down to see a doctor.

However, medicines are scarce now, and doctors are struggling to find effective treatments for seriously ill patients.

Zhou Tian couldn't refuse his younger brother and agreed to go to the 15th floor for a medical checkup, but unexpectedly, his younger brother followed him.

"Go and handle the documents. Just send a soldier with me."

Battalion Commander Zhou remembered the pile of documents on his desk and had no choice but to put the idea aside.

He called in a soldier from the guard company and had the soldier carry Zhou Tian to the 15th floor to find a doctor for treatment.
