Chapter 46: Rushing Against Time (1)
By four o'clock in the evening, it was already dark, but the typhoon had stopped. Except for the rescue boats that kept passing back and forth, the entire city fell into an eerie silence.Nôv(el)B\\jnn
Yao Ran had an early dinner and set the alarm clock before going to bed.
The rescue teams rescued all trapped survivors overnight. At one o'clock in the morning, the Ling Yuan apartment complex was extremely quiet, with only the sound of rain hitting the roof and windows.
The alarm went off, and Yao Ran woke up and put on stab-proof clothing. She tested it for a moment and was satisfied that the clothes did not hinder her movement. After that, she put on her coat and full-length raincoat.
After she finished her preparation, Yao Ran opened the door and went out. Seeing that Long Yu was not around, she quietly walked downstairs.
The stairs and corridors were deserted but full of trash, and the smell was unbearable. Yao Ran frowned slightly and put on an air-purifying respirator.
She walked to the end of the corridor on the third floor and opened the window. Seeing that it was dark and raining heavily outside, Yao Ran put on waterproof goggles and a miner's light. After getting ready, Yao Ran took the inflatable boat from her space. She put down the boat on the water and jumped down lightly. She paddled with two oars, and the boat slowly moved away in the darkness.
It was raining heavily, and the water was flowing fast. Only a few high-rise buildings were left above the water, and the city had changed beyond recognition.
Before leaving, Yao Ran studied the map of Juncheng City and memorized the landmarks around the city. When she was far enough away from the Ling Yuan apartment complex, she installed a special engine for the inflatable boat. The engine was a bit loud, but the rain drowned out the sound.
It took her two hours to reach the largest supermarket in Juncheng City.
Although the supermarket is only three stories high, it is located on higher ground. Each floor is taller than a commercial or residential building. The flood water currently reached only half of the first floor and had not yet reached the second floor.
It was difficult, but she managed to park the inflatable boat in the driveway. She waited for a while, observed the surrounding situation, and made sure no one was around before putting the boat away.
After that, Yao Ran made her way to the top floor of the parking lot. The parking lot was full and mostly filled with expensive cars. It seems that the car owners moved their cars here after receiving the typhoon warning.
In accordance with the principle of not wasting supplies, Yao Ran took out an oil pump and drained all the oil from the cars. While she was busy, an RV caught her attention.
The body and windows are bulletproof, the tires are explosion-proof and wear-resistant, and most importantly, this is a dual-fuel vehicle with foldable solar panels on the roof. In a world where energy is scarce, and gasoline is heavily regulated, not everyone has access to buy this kind of vehicle.
Yao Ran already has a few luxurious RVS in her space, but this place will soon be flooded. She shouldn't let this nice mobile home turn into underwater trash. So, she should take it with her.
Looking at the lock on the door, Yao Ran thought for a while and took out an electronic jammer. Grandpa Xu put this thing together with her purchase and gave it to her. Thanks to Grandpa Xu's gift, she can now get this luxurious RV without spending any money.
Yao Ran placed the electronic jammer on the door and turned it on. The machine buzzed for a few seconds, and then she heard the sound of the door unlocking. She put away the electronic jammer and opened the door.
The RV is very spacious, with a kitchen, living room, bathroom, two bedrooms, and even equipped with an oven, washing machine, and small refrigerator. Yao Ran looked around and was very satisfied with the luxurious interior and high-tech equipment.
After getting out of the RV, Yao Ran took the car into her space and parked it inside with other vehicles. She then continued draining oil from other cars.
After she was done, Yao Ran walked towards the fire exit. She pushed the door open and found it was unlocked.
Coming out of the fire exit, she went to the second floor, where the clothing area was. The water hadn't reached the second floor yet, and the clothes were still clean and dry. Yao Ran didn't waste time and put everything into her space.
After she had taken all the clothes, she went to the promotion area, where various brands of paper towels, soda drinks, cakes, snacks, and toiletries were displayed.
The home appliance area is opposite, and it contains refrigerators, air conditioners, and washing machines. Yao Ran took some and then selected some small household appliances from the shelves, such as a yogurt machine, ice cream machine, bean sprout machine, eggs incubator machine, and some pans and pots.
Next is the daily necessities area, which displays some high-quality air-conditioned quilts, duvets, pillowcases, bed covers, and other items. Yao Ran took everything away and left nothing behind.
In another area, there are various types of shoes from different brands. Yao Ran didn't have time to choose, so she put them all into her space. When she has time later, she can arrange them slowly. Anyway, she has a lot of available space and can keep a lot of stuff.
She looked around and saw those small items, such as skin care products, facial masks, eye creams, essences, etc. After she cleaned up the things on the second floor, she hurried to the third floor.
Yao Ran was not polite when she saw that tea, coffee, tobacco, alcohol, and other expensive products were displayed there. There were countless brands, some expensive and some cheap, but she spared none of them and took them all.
