Natural Disaster: I Started By Hoarding Tens Of Billions Of Supplies - Chapter 47

Chapter 47: Rushing Against Time (2)
At the end of the world, these are all good things. Obtaining them will be challenging, and in the future, people may not be able to buy them even at high prices. As she ran around, she took everything with her.

After cleaning the second and third floors, she went to the first floor, where the supermarket was. The water rose quickly, and everything would be submerged before dawn.

Walking into the first floor, Yao Ran saw that the shelves had been half-submerged. Thinking about the limited resources in the future, she made a prompt decision and went into the space. She put on a diving suit and equipment and left the space.

Yao Ran dived directly into the turbid water and took everything there. Even when submerged underwater, some things are still edible and usable.

Nowadays, most products are airtight or vacuum-packed. As long as the packaging is not damaged, the contents will not be damaged.

The water had reached the ceiling of the first floor, and Yao Ran had no time to check the items on the shelves. Whether the items were damaged by water or not, Yao Ran took them away. Even if she doesn’t use them later, she can trade them with other survivors.

Seeing that the water had begun to flood the second floor, Yao Ran speeded up. The water was so murky that it was hard to see where she was, but she didn’t want to give up because this was her last chance to get supplies easily.

When floodwaters rise, salvaging things underwater becomes more difficult. The water pressure alone makes it impossible for ordinary people without diving skills and professional equipment to enter the water. The deeper the water, the more dangers there will be.

Just as she put the last shelf into her space, Yao Ran saw a few beams of light sweeping by from not far away. Seeing that the person who came was not alone, Yao Ran decisively decided to retreat.

Fighting in the water will put her at a disadvantage. Besides, she’s already taken everything in the building, so it’s best to leave before those people find her.

Yao Ran swam towards the fire exit without leaving the water. She pushed open the door and entered the space to change out of the diving suit and equipment. When she reappeared, she walked quietly up the stairs.

Returning to the top floor of the parking lot, Yao Ran suddenly stopped on her way. She looked at the Hummer and SUV parked in the corner for a moment, then took them away.

The water levels are rising rapidly, and the currents are becoming so strong that they can easily sweep the inflatable boat away.

Instead of using the inflatable boat, Yao Ran took out a motorboat. As she drove the motorboat, she saw that there were many things underwater, so she had to slow down and carefully avoid the hidden obstacles.

The city was plunged into darkness, and the heavy rain limited her visibility. Although Yao Ran used a mining lamp, she still couldn’t see clearly what was going on around her.

After leaving the supermarket, Yao Ran raced against time to drive to another place.

It took her half an hour to reach the mall. Seeing that the third floor was flooded, Yao Ran quickly broke the window on the fourth floor with a glass breaker and got in. Then, she headed straight to Solar Technology’s retail store.

After confirming that no one was around, she broke open the rolling door and walked in. The store was spacious, but Yao Ran walked directly through the back door. Behind the door is where the company displays its products.

Finding that the solar generator she wanted was still there, she quickly put it away. She searched the room but found only a battery box and a converter there. After searching around the store, she discovered a warehouse where she found more solar generators, battery boxes, and converters.

Yao Ran was worried that some parts would be damaged if used in extreme weather, so she brought all the spare parts with her. She also took all the mobile battery boxes she found in the corner of the warehouse.

There were many expensive household appliances in the building, but she ran out of time. Seeing that it was already five o’clock in the morning, Yao Ran left without hesitation.

She must go back before dawn. The current became stronger and stronger, and she had to drive the motorboat against the rain and water current.

When approaching Ling Yuan’s apartment complex, Yao Ran drove the motorboat to a place where the water flow was not too strong and then turned off the engine. After confirming that no one was around, she entered the space with the motorboat.

Before leaving the space, Yao Ran sat on an inflatable boat with two oars. When she emerged into the outside world again, she slowly paddled back to Building 3.

As she paddled to the window, she saw someone on a motorboat moving things from the window. Judging by the body figure, that person is a man. Before Yao Ran could hide, that man turned around.

Yao Ran saw that his motorboat had more supplies than hers and decided to get closer to him. If there were a fight, he would lose more supplies since she only had a backpack on her.

As she got closer, she finally got a good look at him. With such a figure and height, Yao Ran recognized him at a glance.

Long Yu also recognized her and asked, “Are you also going out to look for supplies?”

Yao Ran nodded, “Yes.”

After fixing the motorboat, he reached out to help Yao Ran. She grabbed his outstretched hand without hesitation and let him help pull her up. The two of them then pulled her inflatable boat up.

She guessed that moving all these supplies would take him a few trips, as he had brought back a lot of supplies.
