Stocking up in space: surviving in a world of crisis

Chapter 9 009 Rainstorm 5
Along the way, I met many people who went out to purchase like them. The heavy rain continued. One family’s assault boat capsized, and all the people on it fell into the water. Ye Fu just happened to pass by while operating the assault boat. There were also the elderly and children, and the neighbors sitting behind reached out to help.

The sewage poured into the clothes, the child shivered from the cold, and shed tears timidly, the old man looked very bad, his face was swollen and white.

"Thank you for your help. The wind is too strong, and the assault boat is not easy to drive. Are you going to the Dashun shopping mall? We just came from there, and the shopping mall is full of people, but there is a security team to maintain order, so hurry up Let’s do it.” The family thanked them a lot, the adults hugged the child, the old man leaned against the corner, the family launched the assault boat and left in the opposite direction.

"It's a crime, this damn weather."

"Where are they going? They're dragging their families with them. It doesn't look like they're going out to buy supplies."

"It should be to go to the shelter. My house lives on the fourth floor. If the water level keeps rising, our house will have to go there."

Everyone chatted in the back, Ye Fu and Qiu Lan sat in the front and remained silent.

Arriving at Dashun Mall, seeing the huge crowd, everyone looked desperate.

There were complaints at the scene one after another. Some people were shivering from the cold, some were crying loudly in anxiety. The security team held electric batons in their hands and scanned the crowd solemnly.

"Don't make noise, don't squeeze, put the assault boat here, we will put a mark on it, and come to the right mark when you drive away." Some people tried to steal the assault boat by playing tricks, but they were already dragged away by the security team. , instantly calming down everyone.

Qiu Lan and Ye Fu put the assault boat away, paid a parking fee of [-] yuan, sprayed the number on their wrists, and put it into the shopping mall.

In the shopping mall, there were almost people standing next to each other, and it was difficult to turn around. Ye Fu took a look, and saw that the price of the small bottle of mineral water had risen to [-] yuan. Everyone was complaining and cursing, but the speed in their hands was not slow at all.

Disputes could be heard from time to time. As soon as someone made a move, the security team immediately came over to subdue him and take him away.

Ye Fu snatched a large bottle of mineral water, a five-jin bag of rice, a Chinese cabbage, and three large potatoes.

She felt that her internal organs were squeezed out of place. Someone wanted to snatch something from her without grabbing something on the shelf. Ye Fu took out the dagger hidden in his cuff, and slashed the person's back. Holding his wound and swearing, but there were too many people around, Ye Fu shot very quickly, he didn't know who scratched him, but at this time, Ye Fu had already squeezed past and grabbed a can of Doubanjiang by the way.

Qiu Lan followed her. Someone stepped on her a few times just now, and she grinned in pain.

Seeing that there was a bag of flour and three handfuls of noodles in her shopping basket, Ye Fu led her to squeeze past and snatched three bottles of water from a bunch of uncles.

"Qiu Lan, food is life." She gently reminded her that now is not the time to be hypocritical.

Qiu Lan blushed a little, she was not tall, if Ye Fu hadn't opened the way ahead, she might not even be able to squeeze in the shopping mall, thinking of her elderly and demented grandparents at home, Qiu Lan's eyes became firmer.

Half an hour later, the two of them crowded to the cash register. Things that usually cost more than one or two hundred yuan cost more than one thousand at the checkout, especially rice. The price of five kilograms of ordinary rice had risen to five hundred yuan.

Ye Fu put the things into waterproof sacks, Qiu Lan didn't bring her own bags, so she bought two, but one bag costs a hundred yuan, which is really scary.

The two didn't leave, and went to the pharmacy next door.The pharmacy didn’t increase the price much, but there were too many people buying medicines, and the purchase of medicines was limited. You can only buy one box of a kind of medicine. Most people want to buy cold medicines, antipyretics, etc. Ye Fu only bought one box for pain relief. Medicine, a box of antipyretics.

The two of them were lucky, and they also bought an assault boat, but only the smallest model remained, the one that could only seat three people, and the price was ridiculously expensive.

There were only [-] minutes left in the three hours, because there were still people queuing up to use the assault boat, the two had to go back on time, and the security team took back the assault boat, put the supplies on it, and the two were ready to set off to go back.

"What do they do?"

"Didn't you say to let them go back on their own?" Ye Fu was definitely not mocking, she was just curious, how could Qiu Lan still have the heart to worry about others at this time.

"What if they don't grab the assault boat? We're gone, and they're stranded here."

Ye Fu glanced at Qiu Lan, and said seriously: "They have family members, if they are detained, the family members will come to them."

"But……"

No need to worry, those six people came out in a disheveled state, each holding pitifully few supplies in their hands, and seeing Ye Fu and Qiu Lan, the despair on their faces dissipated.

"Xiaoye, Qiu Lan, I thought you were going back first. There are too many people in the mall, and the price of everything has gone up. It's a scam."

"Amazing, you guys even grabbed the assault boat. We went over to see it, and the boss said that it was out of stock today, and the price was outrageous, the price increased by twenty times."

"You also have a lot of supplies. You are amazing. The two little girls are even more powerful than us old men."

Seeing the two sets of assault boat bags and the oilskin bags for supplies in the corner, several people looked at Ye Fu and Qiu Lan with envy.

Ye Fu ignored them, the man shut up resentfully, the people next to him were chattering and trying to get on the assault boat, before starting, Ye Fu looked back at them.

"This assault boat is on the eighth floor, and it costs 375 yuan for three hours. For the eight of us, the shared cost is [-] yuan per person."

After Ye Fu finished speaking, everyone including Qiu Lan looked at her. Qiu Lan quickly reacted and nodded in agreement. In the end, an uncle on the fifth floor was the first to break the embarrassment and said that he would pay when he got home.

Ye Fu just started the engine, and the six people looked at each other, and exchanged glances with each other. Someone rolled their eyes at Ye Fu's back, and someone choked on something strange. Ye Fu didn't respond, anyway, she was here today. Everyone bought an assault boat under their noses, and they can act alone if they want to go out in the future.

The speed of the return trip was very fast. Ye Fu was wearing gloves, but his hands were still numb from the cold. When he was about to reach the community, there was a loud thunder, which made the people behind him scream.

A big dog corpse floating in the water rushed towards him, and a stench hit his head. Ye Fu held his breath and rushed into the community as fast as he could.

Returning the assault boat to the owner, the six people shared the cost equally. Ye Fu quickly went upstairs with the supplies in one hand and the assault boat in the other.

"Ye Fu."

When reaching the ninth floor, Qiu Lan suddenly called Ye Fu to stop.

"Thank you today, if it weren't for you, this trip wouldn't be so smooth."

Ye Fu shook his head, "Hurry up and go home."

The two went back to their respective homes, 901, Zheng Yang looked away from the cat's eyes, and looked at Sister Liu excitedly: "Ye Fu and Qiu Lan have bought food and an assault boat, you go and borrow it, and we will go out to buy some things."
