Chapter 146 Underwater Receipt
After finally finishing the old couple's affairs, I have to go out and get baby products and milk powder for Mu En!
This is an extremely important thing to do today. This girl wet several mattresses yesterday, and she can still eat! She drank up half a can of camel milk powder that I didn't like. She is really hungry.
Who knows why the continuous rain will never stop? Will it last for several months like the drought? If it really rains for several months, then the base on the hillside will probably be almost completely submerged except for the houses on the hilltop, becoming the next Atlantis that disappears.
Fortunately, we live on the 17th floor, so I thought the flood would not reach this height.
Looking down from the window, there was no one on the street outside, only some floating garbage and cars without owners, which looked a bit funny.
It was estimated that the height of the water on the street had reached about 1.5 meters. It was impossible to go out for a walk in this situation and the possibility of drowning was very high.
After I prepared myself mentally, I took the kayak and went out. Xiaobai volunteered to go out with me.
I thought to myself, it's a good idea. I don't feel confident going out alone, so it's good to have someone to look after me. This kayak is not big and can barely accommodate two people. I'm so big that I can't put much stuff in it. Fortunately, I have space.
The city was flooded by heavy rain and the streets were no longer the same as before. It was not easy for us to find Brother Xiao’s supermarket, so we could only grope forward based on our memory.
Fortunately, Banshan Supermarket is one of the few private supermarkets in this base. The building looks quite large. It took us two hours to find the entrance of the supermarket.
When we arrived, we found that more than half of the first floor of their supermarket had been flooded. There were also some people paddling inflatable kayaks, the same kind they used to play at the beach, looking for supplies. It seemed like they were frantically fishing things out of their kayaks. No one was trying to collect money, and no one was trying to stop them. The entire supermarket was open.
After entering the supermarket, I parked the kayak at the stairs and asked Xiaobai to wait for me to come back vigilantly. I went upstairs to Brother Xiao's office to find him, but I was worried that he might not be there.
I didn't expect that Brother Xiao was really there. I saw him in his office holding a bag and desperately collecting things from his safe. When he saw me coming, he didn't stop what he was doing. He has always trusted me.
I immediately asked Lao Xiao: "What are you going to do? Is this supermarket closed down?"
Brother Xiao hadn't finished his work yet, and he answered me in a nonchalant manner: "Brother Huo, can't you see that this world is over? I advise you to take whatever is available in the supermarket. I won't be back in the future."
I wondered and asked him why he became like this?
Brother Xiao sighed helplessly: "Oh, there's nothing we can do. There's an earthquake and a flood. The people are about to rebel, and the police don't care. It is said that the rain won't stop for a while. There's nothing useful in the supermarket. I'm packing up my things and going home. Brother Huo, I can't help you anymore. I'm leaving first." After saying that, he took his luggage bag and quickly left.
I followed his pace and said I just wanted to ask him where he could find the milk powder?
He came to the stairs, used the key to open a room, and actually pulled out a small boat from the room. I helped him throw it into the water.
He looked warily at Xiaobai who was waiting for me on the side, and I introduced him to him as my brother, and we were together.
Only then did Brother Xiao relax, jumped onto the boat with his luggage on his back, greeted me, and asked us to follow him. I also quickly jumped onto my kayak and paddled behind him.
Brother Xiao was very familiar with his workplace. He turned left and right and came to a small door that was half submerged in water. He took out the key and threw it to me, then said to me earnestly: "Brother Huo, this is the entrance to the supermarket warehouse. It's all flooded underneath. You can try your luck, but I advise you not to go in. I can't help you with anything. I have to go back quickly."
After he finished speaking, I thanked him gratefully and told him to be careful on his way back. He waved to me and told me to take care.
Watching him leave, I jumped into the water and finally opened the door of the warehouse. Then I turned around and told Xiaobai to wait for me here while I went down to take a look.
Xiao Bai asked me nervously: "Didn't Lao Huo say that the room was full of water? We don't have oxygen tanks, so how are you going to get some air? Don't risk your life again."
I smiled proudly and told him not to worry, I had the supermarket space and there was enough air for me. Whenever I couldn't hold my breath, I could just go in and take a breath.
After hearing what I said, Xiaobai immediately felt relieved, but still reminded me to be careful.
I made an OK gesture and dived straight into the warehouse below. I couldn't swim, but Zhang Jia taught me the swimming and breath-holding techniques at Duanmu's house that day. I looked around and saw that the warehouse was not small. There were too many boxes of things in it, but the space was closed and small.
Things basically come in packaging boxes, so it’s hard for me to tell where the milk powder is?
Suddenly, I remembered that after I separated the steel cans and the soil, my space should actually be bigger than this warehouse. So, based on the principle of rather taking something by mistake than letting it go, I put all the things I came across into the space, thinking that I would look through them carefully when I got home. I didn't hesitate and put whatever I touched into the space. In a short while, I had moved almost all the things in the warehouse.
I first took a good breath in my space lounge, and then moved along the space lounge to the first floor of the supermarket. From a distance, I saw Xiaobai staring at the entrance of the supermarket warehouse anxiously waiting for me. My heart warmed. This guy cares about me better than my wife.
After I called him, he finally reacted. He turned around and saw me and was very happy. It was a genuine happiness from the bottom of his heart. He paddled his kayak to my side and took a long time to get me on the boat.
I said we had almost finished packing, and Xiaobai said he wanted to go upstairs to see if there was anything he could take. I said okay, and then we rowed the kayak to the stairs to the second floor. I said I was tired and wanted to take a rest, reminded him to be careful, gave him a large woven bag, and watched him jump onto the stairs and go upstairs.
I felt that there might be other refugees looting items upstairs in this big supermarket, so I thought about it and decided to paddle the kayak a little further away from the stairs, otherwise if someone came down from above and jumped directly onto my kayak, I would be in a passive position.
The experiences of these days have made me as cautious as a cunning rabbit.
I looked at my space weight and it's already 195.22. I guess if I don't eat tonight I will have to upgrade to a supermarket space tomorrow. But I'm so thirsty now, so I'd better drink a bottle of beverage to replenish minerals. I took out a bottle of alien electrolyte water and gulped it down.
After waiting for more than ten minutes, Xiaobai came back with a big bag full of things. He was really fast!
He greeted me with a smile and said that everything was full and he could get some more.
I was about to paddle over to him to pick him up, but at this moment, I noticed two men suddenly appeared beside him, and they looked at my kayak with greedy eyes.
Yes, seeing that each of them was carrying a big bag, they probably looted a bunch of things from it. It was obvious that they were not here for the things, so they definitely didn’t have the means to go back. Judging from their state, they were planning to snatch my kayak after I got close!
I took out a machete from my back without mercy, with a fierce look on my face. I exchanged glances with Xiaobai, and Xiaobai also felt something was wrong. He could swim, so he understood what was going on and jumped into the water, carrying the bag of things on his back, and swam quickly towards my kayak. Xiaobai was a second-level speed mutant, and his speed was nothing to be underestimated.
Although the two men were jealous of my kayak, when they saw me take out the knife, their faces changed and they dared not take the next step. They could only watch me pull up Xiaobai from the water and drive away in the kayak.
