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

The truck sped along, leaving the black swarm of rats far behind.

They gradually disappeared from people's sight.

"Are we going to die?"

Someone said in an incredulous voice.

"Thank God, we finally escaped."

Some people wept with joy, filled with happiness at being able to continue living.

"Waaah, why is this happening?"

Some people complained about this messed-up life, saying they were even more anxious than when they used to work 996 (9am-9pm, 6 days a week).

"Crackling."

The large truck drove along the dilapidated road, the stones hitting the chassis with a crisp sound.

The people in the vehicle were tossed about by the truck, their buttocks feeling numb and uncomfortable from the vibrations.

But no one said anything to ask the truck to slow down.

Everyone understands that once the trucks slow down, they will be facing thousands upon thousands of rats.

They will crawl inch by inch onto a person's body, their sharp teeth gnawing at their flesh and devouring them alive.

They will only feel the passing of life in despair, fear, and pain.

Nobody wanted to face this situation; they just wanted the trucks to drive faster, and even faster.

Jiang Li felt dizzy and lightheaded from the bumpy ride of the truck, and her stomach churned.

She used to be prone to motion sickness when traveling by car, and usually chose to travel by green means.

Who knew we'd encounter an apocalyptic natural disaster?! We were forced to get on a large truck.

Normally, the car travels slowly, so Jiang Li's motion sickness is relatively mild.

The intense tremor caused Jiang Li to furrow her brow and place her hand on her chest, trying to suppress the nausea.

Seeing this, Ye Jingmo pulled Jiang Li into his arms, took her hand in one hand, and pressed his thumb on her Hegu acupoint with the other.

This is a method he specifically learned to relieve motion sickness for Jiang Li.

Jiang Li rested her head on Ye Jingmo's chest, her face flushed from the warmth of his chest.

She could clearly smell the refreshing scent of the shower gel as it entered her lungs with each breath.

As Ye Jingmo pressed the Hegu acupoint with moderate force, Jiang Li felt the churning in her stomach gradually subside and the dizziness in her head slowly disappear.

So Jiang Li spoke softly:

"Brother Mo, I'm fine now, please let me go."

Jiang Li struggled to get out of Ye Jingmo's arms, but a hand covered her face and forcefully pressed her back down.

"Stop fooling around, or you'll get carsick again."

Ye Jingmo looked down at Jiang Li in his arms and spoke softly.

Qin Yue, who witnessed this scene from the side, grinned foolishly, inwardly celebrating and shouting with rage.

The couple I ship is so sweet!

"Hey, why are you pinching me so hard?"

Qin Yu winced in pain and pulled his hand back from Qin Yue's grasp.

"Hehe, I was thinking too much..."

Qin Yue then realized that she had pinched Qin Yu's hand because she was too excited.

Suddenly, the truck braked suddenly and came to a stop.

Jiang Li lurched forward due to inertia, and Ye Jingmo immediately wrapped one arm around her shoulder and grabbed the side of the truck with the other.

Jiang Li's forehead collided with Ye Jingmo's hard muscles, leaving a red mark on her forehead.

Ignoring the pain, she immediately began to cautiously observe her surroundings.

The people in the car were confused, but they all gripped their weapons tightly and stared intently out of the car.

"Get out of the car."

A soldier in tattered combat uniform, with blood on his left hand, arrived at the truck and told everyone to get off.

Have we arrived at our destination?

This question flashed through Jiang Li's mind.

Everyone got off the bus one after another, and the scene before them left them stunned.

The ground was covered with countless dead rats, and the air was thick with the smell of gunpowder and blood. Anyone could tell that a bloody battle had taken place here.

"Men and women should line up separately and follow me after you've lined up."

The soldier used a megaphone to separate the crowd by gender and led them to the front of two tents.

Qin Yue curiously poked Jiang Li's back with her finger.

"Sister Jiang Li, what are you planning to do? Separating the queue by gender?"

Jiang Li shook her head. "I don't know either. We'll find out once we get inside."

Jiang Li quickly reached the front of the line and went into the tent.

A medical worker wearing a white coat and a mask sat at a simple wooden table and chairs.

"I need to do a check-up for you. Don't be afraid, you'll be fine soon."

The medical staff explained gently.

"What's your name?"

"Jiang Li".

"After scanning the watch on the machine, take off your clothes for inspection."

Jiang Li cooperated with her, and after scanning the watch, she took off all her clothes for inspection.

"Okay, go ahead and put on your clothes."

The medical staff wrote a note indicating that the paperwork was in order and handed it to Jiang Li, then waved for her to leave.

"Can I ask you a question? What kind of checkup is this?"

Jiang Li asked the medical staff a question.

"They check for rat scratches or bites on the body; if so, the person needs to be quarantined."

The medical staff did not hide anything and directly stated the purpose of the examination.

Jiang Li stepped out of the tent and sat down on a nearby rubble.

She was waiting for Ye Jingmo and the others to come out.

Soon, Qin Yue and Qin Yu finished their examinations.

Ye Jingmo was nowhere to be seen.

He was in line after Qin Yu.

Jiang Li's heart was pounding; she wondered why Ye Jingmo had taken so long.

Ten minutes later, Jiang Li still couldn't see anyone.

She stood up and went to the tent entrance to ask the soldier.

The soldier remembered Jiang Li's description of his physique very well, and after thinking for a moment, he spoke:

"He has wounds on his body, and it cannot be determined whether they were caused by rats. He needs to be isolated."

When Jiang Li heard the news, she felt as if the blood in her body had frozen, and she couldn't move her limbs.

After a long while, she regained her senses.

"Can we apply for home quarantine? Our wall is quite high. If you put a seal on the door, we definitely won't be able to get out."

Jiang Li's tone was pleading.

The soldier was taken aback. In the midst of the apocalypse, a home was practically a luxury.

Many people drift alone, without any support or help.

The soldier said, "I need to report to my superiors and get their approval. Where do you live?"

Jiang Li told the soldier her address, and the soldier turned to report it.

As Jiang Li waited, many possibilities flashed through her mind.

What if the leadership doesn't agree? What are the quarantine conditions like? What if Brother Mo gets infected with the disease?

Jiang Li felt her mind was a mess, and her head was throbbing as if it were about to explode.

The soldiers returned quickly.

"We don't have enough space for isolation, so we agree if you request to self-isolate at home."

They just need to put a seal on your door, and you can't leave your house until a week later.

Jiang Li nodded quickly; staying indoors for a week was nothing to her and Ye Jingmo.

Others go out mainly to search for food.

They have plenty of food and no pressure from quarantine.

"A car will take you away shortly."

After the soldier finished explaining everything, he returned to his post at a distance.

Jiang Li found Qin Yue and Qin Yu and explained the situation, telling them not to wait for her and Ye Jingmo, and that she would go home first.

"Sister Jiang Li, you need to take good care of yourself."

Qin Yue held Jiang Li's hand, her eyes filled with worry.

"It's okay, Mo Ge and I will be fine."

Jiang Li's words seemed to be both a comfort to Qin Yue and a comfort to herself.
