Chapter 135: The Rain Has Stopped
Yuan Rihui walked closer quickly and asked in a low voice, "Brother Shi, have you brought more fish today?"
Shi Xuan nodded, "We have more than one hundred bags of fish. Do you want them all?"
Yuan Rihui thought for a while and said, "We can accept up to 80 bags of fish."
Shi Xuan looked at Long Yu, who said, "Deal."
After doing business with them several times, Yuan Rihui already knew that they could be trusted and said, "I will prepare the same thing for you. Let's meet at the usual place in an hour."
Shi Xuan nodded, "Alright."
After Yuan Rihui left, Shi Xuan drove to the back of the department store.Nôv(el)B\\jnn
Only a few people visited the department store due to a lack of supplies. However, because the official hospital is also located on the top floor of a department store, many soldiers patrol around this area.
To avoid trouble, they always complete their transactions in the back of department stores, out of the soldiers' patrol area. There are no soldiers around, and no one will come here for no reason.
After waiting for an hour, Yuan Rihui arrived with two motorboats filled with supplies. He smiled at Long Yu and the others, "Brother Long, do you want to check the goods first?"
Long Yu nodded, "Yes."
Following his words, Shi Xuan and Huang Qian jumped to other ships to check the goods. After calculating and checking everything, the two nodded to Long Yu.
Looking at the bags of fish, Yuan Rihui's mind was racing, calculating how much profit this batch of fish could bring to his team.
The transaction was completed quickly as the quality and quantity were right.
Yuan Rihui smiled and said, "Brother Long, if you have more fish, just come here to find me."
Long Yu did not promise him anything and nodded, "Mhm."
After confirming that no one was following them, they left and returned to the Ling Yuan apartment complex. First, they went back to the 19th floor, gave Quan Yuanwei and Sima Yun their shares, and then returned to the 20th floor with the remaining supplies and fish.
After returning home, Yao Ran quickly went into her space to wash away the fishy smell from her body. When she left the space, she had a simple meal and went to bed early.
The following day, Yao Ran woke up very late. After washing, she checked the temperature outside. The temperature had dropped to eighteen degrees Celsius, and she knew the rain would stop soon.
As soon as she had breakfast, Yao Ran noticed that the rain had lessened. Seeing this scene, her heart felt heavy. After heavy rain, the extreme cold will come.
In her previous life, extreme cold came suddenly. Countless people died in their sleep, and almost half the population died in one night.
After breakfast, Yao Ran did not go out but decided to move the plants from the balcony and planting rooms to her space. She only installed the underfloor heating in her bedroom, and when the extreme cold arrived, all plants would be frozen.
Yao Ran skipped her daily training and prepared for the extreme cold in advance. She moved the solar generator into the bedroom and installed the electric heater in the corner of the bedroom.
Then she went to the kitchen, removed the gas cylinder from the gas stove, and put everything into her space, leaving an empty kitchen.
Afterward, she took out a coal stove from her space and placed it near the window. When she uses the coal stove, she needs to open a small gap for ventilation. Otherwise, the smoke poisons her.
Yao Ran took off a set of cold-resistant clothes and hung them on the hanger. She also changed the bed cover into a thicker one and took out a thick quilt and electric quilt.
Before leaving the bedroom, she took out a thick fur coat, a thick sweater and thermal pants, snow boots, a warm mask, earmuffs, gloves, and a scarf.
After everything was ready, she went out and sat on the balcony, watching the rain while practicing her wood element ability with a pot of potatoes.
In the evening, the rain gradually subsided, and the sky cleared up. In the past two months, countless people have died from floods and starvation.
Yao Ran looked at the sunset in the distance and clenched her hands.
Sitting on the balcony, Yao Ran saw people coming out to their balcony one after another and looking up at the sunset in the sky. As they looked at the beautiful sky, hope slowly grew in their lifeless eyes.
Yao Ran calmly watched those people cheering excitedly, crying bitterly, or just staring blankly at the sunset. It has not been easy for them to survive. However, the future is not as bright as they thought.
She sat there for a long time before standing up and filling two plastic bags with vegetables, potatoes, and mushrooms. She then put on her coat and left the apartment with the bags. Just when she locked the door, Long Yu also walked out of his apartment.
"Yao Ran, I just want to find you."
Yao Ran turned around and saw the lunchbox in his hand. Her heavy mood suddenly disappeared, replaced by warmth.
She raised her eyes from the lunchbox and smiled at Long Yu, "What a coincidence. I also want to deliver vegetables to you."
Long Yu looked at the plastic bags filled to the brim and said, "I still have some vegetables left. Growing vegetables in cold weather is not easy. You should keep them for yourself."
Calculating the time, Yao Ran knew that most of the vegetables she gave him had been eaten. Knowing why he said this, she was happy.
Yao Ran handed the smaller plastic bag over and said, "Take it. I couldn't finish them by myself, and vegetables would rot in a few days."
Long Yu couldn't refute her words, so he took the plastic bag and handed the lunchbox to her. "I liked the fish and ginger soup you made before, so I tried to make it. Please try it."
"..." I'm sorry, but I don't dare to try it.
