Natural Disaster: I Started By Hoarding Tens Of Billions Of Supplies

Chapter 43: The Rescue Is Here!



At noon, someone knocked on Yao Ran's door. She stopped what she was doing and went to open the door. Seeing it was Zhou Ruilin, she asked, "Sister Zhou, what's wrong?"

Zhou Ruilin looked worried and asked, "Miss Yao, can you take a look at Shu Shu? He seems to have a fever again."

Yao Ran nodded, went to get the medicine bag, and came back.

"Let's go."

After locking the door, she followed Zhou Ruilin to her home. Yao Ran checked Chi Shu and found that he not only had a fever but also had a rash. The five-year-old boy was lying on his small bed, looking very weak and fragile.

Yao Ran covered him with a thin quilt and looked at Zhou Ruilin, "Shu Shu is weak, and his immunity is deficient. He has a cold and a fever. Do you have any medicine at home?"

Zhou Ruilin nodded and quickly went to get the medicine box. Yao Ran opened the box and was surprised to find that the children's medicines were quite complete.

Seeing that Yao Ran didn't speak, Zhou Ruilin anxiously clasped her hands together and asked, "Miss Yao, can these medicines be used?"

Yao Ran nodded, took out the cold medicine for the children, and fed it to Chi Shu. "After Shu Shu recovers from his fever, you should focus on replenishing his body. If the body's immunity cannot be improved, it may be difficult to regain health."

Zhou Ruilin's expression froze when she heard Yao Ran's words. In their current situation, it was already a blessing to have something to eat. Where can she get nutritious foods to replenish her son's body?

Looking at Zhou Ruilin's distressed face, Yao Ran asked, "Sister Zhou, is there no news about your husband yet?"

Zhou Ruilin's eyes turned red, and she looked away. After a few seconds, her voice became hoarse, and she replied, "No news yet."

Yao Ran glanced at the sick child and asked Zhou Ruilin, "Do you have enough food at home?"

Zhou Ruilin wiped her tears, turned to look at Yao Ran, and smiled, "Don't worry. We still have food at home."

Since she said that, Yao Ran just nodded and packed her medicine bag. She stood up and looked at Zhou Ruilin.

"Sister Zhou, I'm going back first. Call me if anything happens to Shu Shu."

Just as she was about to leave, Zhou Ruilin hurriedly stopped her and said, "Miss Yao, please wait a moment."

Yao Ran turned to look at her and saw Zhou Ruilin walking towards another bedroom. Soon, she came back carrying a small plastic bag.

She handed the plastic bag to Yao Ran and smiled gratefully, "Miss Yao, please accept this. You have treated my son twice, but I haven't paid you yet. Thank you for helping us all this time."

Yao Ran looked into the plastic bag and saw several packages of instant noodles. In the past, instant noodles were only worth a few yuan, but they could save lives at the end of the world.

Yao Ran accepted the instant noodles. She nodded to Zhou Ruilin and said, "If Shu Shu's condition worsens, come to me."

Zhou Ruilin thanked her again and sent her out. Back home, Yao Ran harvests vegetables and mushrooms on the balcony and the planting rooms. She practices her wood and water element ability every day, causing the vegetables and mushrooms to grow rapidly. In a few days, they will be ready to harvest again.

After she harvested the vegetables and mushrooms, she replanted them and made wine. She included medicinal wine, rice wine, fruit wine, and everything she could think of.

After she washed her hands and body and left the space, Yao Ran found that the typhoon outside had changed again. This time, not only her but also many people noticed.

These people could not contain their excitement. They shouted and cheered from their windows, thinking the natural disaster was about to end.

Yao Ran looked at their smiles and thought, 'This is just the beginning. I wonder how many of them will be able to smile in the future.'

Yao Ran was hungry, so she returned to the living room and took out a lunch box. The lunch box includes rice, braised meat, stir-fried vegetables, and shredded potatoes. The portions are big enough for her and very tasty.

She ate while looking at the gloomy sky outside and then put the empty lunch box back into space. Although she has countless new lunch boxes ready to use, these items are no longer available for purchase. After washing it, she can still use it again.

After eating, Yao Ran felt sleepy. Just as she was about to take a nap, the roar of the engine coming from outside woke her up.

She walked to the window, opened the curtains, and took out the binoculars. She looked around and saw three orange inflatable boats approaching. Each boat carries a team of firefighters wearing orange jackets.

The typhoon has not left yet, but its power has significantly weakened. Driving a boat is not a problem as long as one steers carefully and avoids whirlpools.

Eighteen days after losing contact with the outside world, they finally saw the rescue teams -coming.

Seeing the rescue boats and firefighters, many people knelt on their balconies and cried. Some were so happy that they laughed and cried at the same time.

"It's the rescue team! The government didn't abandon us!"

"We are saved!"

Yao Ran looked at the three rescue boats below and saw one of the firefighters taking out a loudspeaker.

"Please don't panic and listen carefully. We will rescue everyone and visit building by building. Only collect essential items and follow our instructions. Priority will be given to evacuating the elderly and children."n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

"Due to a lack of manpower and supplies, rescue will prioritize those living on the flooded lower floors."

When everyone heard this, they were shocked and ran downstairs quickly. They waved at the firefighters and asked in panic from windows.

"Comrade, what about us? Although we are not flooded, we have nothing to eat."
