Chapter 49: Going To Supermarket (1)
Long Yu looked at the others and said, "She agreed. There is an empty apartment on this floor, and you can live there. However, you must take care of the apartment and not destroy anything. The owner may return in the near future. When they come back, I will help you find another place to live."
Hearing this, the five people breathed a sigh of relief and nodded. Soon, Yao Ran came with the key to unit 2001.
She handed the key to Long Yu and said, "Here are the keys and the spare keys for these two metal doors."
Long Yu took the key, and the corner of his lips curved up slightly, "Thank you."
The two men looked at him in shock when they saw the curve of the corners of his lips.
Seeing their reactions, Long Yu glanced at them and introduced Yao Ran. "Her name is Yao Ran, and she is the owner of unit 2003."
The scholar-looking man stretched out his hand to Yao Ran and introduced himself. "My name is Shi Xuan. I am twenty-five years old and still single. I hope we can be friends from now on."
Yao Ran shook his hand, and the other man quickly said, "My name is Huang Qian. I am twenty-four years old."
He pulled a young woman who looked similar to him and said, "This is my younger sister, Huang Zhihui, nineteen years old."n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
Like her elder brother, Huang Zhihui smiled at Yao Ran and said, "Hello, Sister Yao."
Yao Ran nodded to her, and then another woman with long hair and a blue skirt stepped forward. "Hello. My name is Deng Qiqi. Hui Hui and I are college roommates."
After the four introduced themselves to Yao Ran, the last woman with short hair stretched out her hand to Yao Ran and said, "My name is Jia Xiang. I am at the same age as Ah Xuan."
Yao Ran shook her hand and smiled, "Yao Ran."
She likes Jia Xiang as soon as she sees her cool appearance. After dealing with scheming white lotuses like Lan Lifei for many years, Yao Ran prefers to be friends with women who look strong and independent, like Jia Xiang.
Now that they have introduced themselves to each other, Yao Ran looks at Long Yu and says, "Then I will go back first. If you need any help, just call me."
Long Yu nodded to her and watched Yao Ran walk away. After she closed the door, he turned to look at the other five people.
He said expressionlessly, "Take these keys. If you have nothing important to report, don't disturb Yao Ran and me."
Seeing that his captain just left them there, Huang Qian looked at Shi Xuan and asked in disbelief, "Brother Xuan, did you see the smile on Captain's face just now?"
Shi Xuan took the keys from his hand and walked to door 2001. He opened the door and said, "A Qian, do you know that curiosity killed the cat?"
The three women exchanged glances and followed Shi Xuan, leaving behind the dumbfounded Huang Qian. A few seconds later, he shivered from the cold and chased after the others.
"Hey, wait for me."
After returning home, Yao Ran started her daily training. She ran on the treadmill for two hours and then did weight training for an hour before training her wood and water element abilities. While she was practicing, time passed by without her realizing it.
By the time she finished her daily training, it was already evening. Yao Ran looked out from the balcony with the night vision binoculars and saw many people rowing boats and kayaks outside.
She thought for a while, then went to the space to take a quick shower and change clothes. After coming out of the space, she took some money with her and went out.
Yao Ran knocked on the door of unit 2002 and waited for a while before Long Yu opened the door.
He looked at her and asked, "What's wrong?"
Yao Ran answered, "When I came back this morning, I drove by the supermarket near Juncheng University. The terrain was relatively high, so it might not have been completely submerged by now. I saw several boats when I passed that supermarket."
"They might still open the supermarket to the public. I noticed your friends didn't bring much with them. You should tell them to go to the supermarket and buy something that will last a long time, no matter how expensive it is."
After listening to Yao Ran's words, Long Yu thought for a moment and nodded. "You are right. Do you want to go together?"
Yao Ran shook her head, took out a plastic bag full of money, and said, "I will stay and guard the 20th floor. You can go with them and help me buy something on your way."
Long Yu took the plastic bag and was surprised to find that it was full of money. He looked at Yao Ran and asked, "Do you want to use all of this money?"
Yao Ran nodded, "Judging from the current situation, money will probably become waste paper soon. It's best to turn it into supplies while we still can."
When she came back this morning, Yao Ran deliberately drove by the supermarket. The heavy rain had flooded supermarkets and wholesale markets, and it was highly probable that the city's national grain reserves would also flood.
Almost all food is underwater right now. Even if the military and government are willing to rescue, they can't do anything if they don't have the necessary supplies.
Yao Ran clearly remembers that in her previous life, most supermarkets were requisitioned by the government. It opens early, and purchases are limited, so only those with cash can buy
things.
In the era of electronic payment, who still uses cash? How many people withdraw cash before a typhoon approaches?
Therefore, for those who don't have money but still want to survive, they can only resort to violence.
