Natural Disasters Strikes: I stockpiled like crazy! - Chapter 34

Chapter 34: Rescue Mission (1)
Xiao Lizi looked at Zhuo Gui who was sitting in her white sofa.

Her body was sore and her back aching.

Every day, she had to serve him without any break. She only endured because he promised her that he would give her an important role in Helen Wu’s upcoming drama.

Xiao Lizi opened the app to order a takeout like she usually does for the past few days as she only bought snacks, candies, chocolates and quick frozen foods that is convenient to cook.

Zhou Gui was picky and didn’t want to eat the factory processed food. He wanted let Xiao Lizi order from food from expensive restaurant and promised will pay her later.

She was used to his habit. Zhou Gui was like this but he was always kept his words in the end when it comes to compensating money.

But what Xiao Lizi didn’t know was that due to the recent court case involving Zhou Family, Zhou Gui’s assets were frozen including his bank account. Even the other accounts used for money laundering were frozen too.

He doesn’t have cash on him because of his father confiscated it. He only used Xiao Lizi for a free meal and accommodation. Luckily, this woman seemed naïve and wasn’t aware of his family’s situation.

That is to be expected since his father; Zhou Enlai had quickly covered up the incident and bought the media. Only little details about the case were released. The upcoming typhoon was only an icing in the cake.

However when he remembered his father blaming him for being careless in erasing evidence and witnesses, Zhou Gui’s mood became unpleasant.

That bastard Lin Weihao!

Ring—

Zhou Gui read the message on his phone.

“Boss, the warehouse near the university is flooded! What do we do with the remaining items?”

F*ck.

Zhou Gui cursed under his breath and typed in anger, “It’s been six days. What have you been doing all this time?” He smuggled those items with extreme difficulty and they are worth a lot. For them to be this thoughtless!

“Boss, we can’t transfer them smoothly because the military is running all around for the past few days.”

Zhou Gui’s clenched his jaws and raked his hair in utter frustration.

Without a shred of doubt, it must be those from Pei family and Lin family behind it.

This useless fools!

Meanwhile, Xiao Lizi had just found out that the delivery app she was using sent her a notification that they can’t do business because the road is flooded.

Xiao Lizi bit her thumb and informed Zhou Gui.

Because of the multiple setbacks, Zhou Gui’s temper was very foul, and he couldn’t help but raise his voice.

“It’s just a small rain! Why are you so whiny? Just ride a car and get me the food!”

Xiao Lizi flinched and fear flashed in her eyes.

Zhou Gui’s current facial expression was scary.

Suddenly the lights in the room had gone out.

Xiao Lizi unable to see anything, turned on the flashlight of her phone.

….

Unit 2103.

The student she was talking to was studying in East Pearl City University, more than a mile away from Empire Building. Her name was Rong’er. She was freshman college student and is majoring in Biology.

Their school was going to have a seminar with Professor Zhang Heng as a special guest two days ago but because of the heavy rain the seminar was postponed and Professor Zhang Heng can’t return to Amber City yet because of the atmospheric condition.

The University Faculty President then encouraged him to give online lectures instead.

Nanzhi said that she was particularly interested in Biology and asked the student to send her Professor Zhang’s lecture videos if it was really the target.

Upon playing the videos, she was able to confirm that it was the indeed the same old man.

He was in Pearl City all along. If Nanzhi knew that, in the first day, she would have gone instead. The water level outside had reach to the people’s thighs.

The underground parking lot had turned into a pool with dirty water and debris flowing in.

The small cars parked were submerged. The residents were only able to save the motorcycles which they carried to the hallway of the second floor through the stairs.

Only the big vehicles can drive on the road now.

Their building was on the high-laying area. One can just imagine what is happening on those catch basin areas.

Nanzhi also saw small rescue boats rowed by firefighters and volunteers going to the most affected areas.

Some of them had head to the building entrance and spoke with the residents downstairs.

At this moment, the system had updated the mission details and added profile of the target.

[Special Mission: Rescue Professor Zhang]

[Time Limit: 1 day]

She only had one day!

But her eyes stopped at the rewards. The experience points jumped up to 2, 000!

And the additional reward was no longer unknown but this.

[…Mental Power Awakening Serum]

Nanzhi gulped and her heart race fast.

But she adjusted her emotions, letting her excitement cool down. She was no fool. If the system had raised the rewards then there was something wrong.

Benefits are equal to risk. It was a gamble. This had always been its principle.

If she were to look at the Virtual Map, the rescue plan was not entirely impossible as there are tall buildings on the way to school.

She can rest there in the midst of her trip and only less than a mile of a distance.

Nanzhi gazed at outside before returning to her room and start preparing. She wanted that awakening serum. She doesn’t know if the system would issue such reward again.

Her obsession was due to a certain reason because before regression she never awakened a mental power.

But this time, it will be different.

Determination flashed in her eyes.

She changed her clothes into water proof ones before conjuring a back pack in which she stuffed the necessary things she needed. After all the preparations are done, she set off.
