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

"I'll take this flour with me for now, and it will be delivered to your address later with the truck."

After Zhou Tian directed the soldiers to move the flour away, he turned around and spoke with Jiang Li.

Jiang Li nodded in understanding.

After Zhou Tian finished speaking, he followed in the footsteps of the soldiers in front of him.

After finishing his work here, he still had to go and direct the rescue operation, so he couldn't stay any longer.

Qin Yue watched Zhou Tian walk away, feeling somewhat dazed.

She reached out and grabbed Jiang Li's sleeve in disbelief.

"Sister Jiang Li, that's how we got five bags of flour weighing twenty jin each."

Qin Yue was surprised to find so much food on her first day of scavenging.

Thinking of the days she spent at home recovering from her injury, Qin Yue felt a pang of pain in her heart.

That wasn't a waste of time, it was a waste of her wealth.

Qin Yue felt relieved and instantly her back and legs stopped aching.

She can work for another five hours.

Jiang Li was overjoyed to receive these bags of flour, a happy smile spreading across her face.

suddenly,

Some rustling sounds reached Jiang Li's ears.

These sounds appeared and disappeared as Jiang Li listened carefully.

"Qin Yue, did you hear any strange noises?"

Jiang Li asked Qin Yue.

"what sound?"

Qin Yue was so engrossed in her joy that she paid no attention to her surroundings.

She looked at Jiang Li with a hint of doubt.

Could it be that I'm hallucinating?

Jiang Li listened carefully, but still couldn't hear the sound from before.

"Sister Jiang Li, let's go back and eat and rest for a while, and then come back to scavenge later."

Qin Yue looked at the time on her watch; it was already time for the rescue workers to take turns resting and eating.

Jiang Li and Qin Yue arrived at the ruins of the hospital.

More than a dozen canopies were erected on the open space next to it, blocking out the sunlight and casting cool shadows.

The rescuers, visibly dirty and exhausted, sat on the ground, fanning themselves from time to time to try to dispel the heat.

Some people even lay face down on the ground in a spread-eagle position, their chests heaving violently, just so that no one would suspect that they were corpses.

Someone discreetly took out a bottle of mineral water from their backpack, touched the bottle opening with their mouth to carefully moisten their lips, and then put the water into their bag.

Even so, those around her cast envious glances.

The rescue workers are well paid, but most of them are the breadwinners of their families.

The money I earn is enough to feed my whole family.

If a family of three can barely make ends meet, then a family of five or six will only be able to live a very frugal life.

Jiang Li searched for Ye Jingmo's figure in the crowd.

Ye Jingmo was wearing a military green T-shirt and black combat pants today, and his muscles were slightly bulging under the clothes.

His sharp, hawk-like eyes surveyed his surroundings without any emotion, exuding a powerful and cold aura that made people hesitant to approach him.

When Ye Jingmo saw Jiang Li walking towards him with a smile, he seemed like a puppet infused with a soul, a faint, almost imperceptible smile appearing on his lips.

"Brother Mo."

Jiang Li quickly ran to Ye Jingmo's side, her straight nose glistening with sweat from her violently beating nose.

"Will you be very tired today? Let's find a place to sit down and eat, and chat while we eat."

Jiang Li chattered away in Ye Jingmo's ear, recounting her morning's achievements.

Ye Jingmo held Jiang Li's hand, paying attention to the surrounding environment to prevent Jiang Li from accidentally falling.

Before Qin Yue could even speak to Qin Yu, he put a hat on her head.

The long black brim of the hat completely obscured Qin Yue's face.

Qin Yue touched the hat on her head, feeling a little touched, when she heard Qin Yu's merciless words.

"Let's talk about it after we eat. I'm too tired to listen to you right now."

Qin Yu knew that Qin Yue was prone to getting carried away when she spoke.

The thought of listening to Qin Yue's nagging later gave Qin Yu a headache.

He decided to strike first and told Qin Yue to wait until he had rested before making a move.

Qin Yue pouted, secretly cursing her brother in her heart!

Ye Jingmo and his three companions did not go to the official shelter, as there were too many people there.

They were heading to the ruins about 100 meters from the hospital rescue site.

There was a hospital security booth there, which was barely preserved from the earthquake.

Jiang Li took out five steamed buns from her backpack and handed three to Ye Jingmo.

The temperature of the steamed buns was about the same as room temperature, but the dough was a bit hard and not as soft as when they were fresh out of the steamer.

Qin Yue and Qin Yu are eating bread again today.

Since the disaster, Qin Yue and Qin Yu have been eating bread most of the time.

They actually felt nauseous at the sight of bread, but there was nothing they could do because they had little food stored at home.

Jiang Li watched Qin Yue and the others eat bread, her face contorted in pain as if she were being tortured.

She suddenly thought of making mushroom sauce.

Jiang Li took out a bottle of mushroom sauce from her backpack and a disposable spoon.

She scooped a spoonful of mushroom sauce for herself and Ye Jingmo, then looked up at Qin Yue and Qin Yu.

"This is our homemade mushroom sauce. Try it and see if you like it."

Jiang Li handed the mushroom sauce to Qin Yue.

Qin Yue swallowed hard as she smelled the aroma of the mushroom sauce.

She scooped up a small spoonful, mainly to try the taste.

Qin Yu looked at his sister's impolite manner and almost wanted to facepalm and smile wryly.

He swallowed back the words of refusal that were on the tip of his tongue, and carefully scooped up a small spoonful, just like Qin Yue did.

Their eyes lit up at the same time; they had never tasted such delicious mushroom sauce.

With the addition of mushroom sauce, the bread is elevated to a whole new level; it's incredibly delicious.

"Sister Jiang Li, is this made from the mushrooms we picked together last time?"

"I should have made some mushroom sauce instead of drying all the mushrooms."

Qin Yue licked the remaining mushroom sauce off the bag, her eyes filled with regret.

"if……"

Before Jiang Li could finish speaking, a huge scream came from outside.

"Ah ah ah ah ah……"

"What's this……"

"Run...run!"

Cries, pleas for help, and screams filled the ears of the four.

The four of them quickly looked out through the glass window.

Qin Yue witnessed the most shocking scene of her life.

A dense swarm of black animals surged in like a tide, swallowing up everything edible on the ground.

Jiang Li felt ice-cold all over, as if she had fallen into a frozen lake.

Qin Yu's mouth seemed glued shut; it took a lot of effort for him to open it and ask:

"What is this?"

Ye Jingmo looked out with an icy expression, his hand gripping the windowsill tightly.

Jiang Li looked at the familiar appearance of those black animals.

Black fur, red eyes, a long tail, and the rustling sound we heard earlier.

"It's a rat, a rat."

Jiang Li and Ye Jingmo shouted in unison.

The rats, which had grown to the size of a ball, showed absolutely no fear of humans.

On the contrary, when they saw humans waving sticks at them, their eyes revealed a longing for food.

Some people didn't react in time and were caught off guard by the swarming rats, which jumped on them.

It gnaws at human flesh with its sharp teeth, and the bitten person gradually quiets down from the initial violent screams.

A few minutes later, there was no one left, only a skeleton and a pool of blood.

"Brother, what do we do?"

Qin Yue asked Qin Yu with a trembling voice, her voice trembling with tears.

She clutched Qin Yu's clothes in fear, feeling her whole body go weak.
