Rebirth: I Am Super Rich in Apocalypse

Chapter 32: Chapter 32 Four People Walk Chapter 32: Chapter 32 Four People Walk Jhiang Yuan was quite happy on her end, but outside, things were falling apart.

The first floor was flooded, and two families were seeking shelter with others.

But among them, there weren’t many people willing to let others stay in their homes.

0101 was a family of four, with two sons, the oldest in high school, and the second in middle school.

It definitely wasn’t convenient for families with daughters.

0102 consisted of three young people, two men and one woman, co-renting together.

One of the men and the woman were a couple.

The group chat was in an uproar, everyone begging for a place to stay, but no one stepped forward.

Sun Yian was also tagged, but he merely made a polite call for help and that was the end of it.

The situation was urgent, leaving the residents on the first floor with no choice but to knock on doors upstairs, hoping for refuge.

Before long, they reached the 21st floor, and Jhiang Xingzhi, after watching from the doorway for a while and seeing that 2102 had not come out, didn’t go out himself, nor did he allow Qin Yue to go.

The person outside was young, probably from 0102, and after seeing no one open the door, cursed and left.

The incident with Song Yi caused a huge stir.

A number of people decided to go out and look for supplies while the water level wasn’t too high.

Jhiang Yuan knew that those without food reserves at home would probably get desperate, and the nearby shops would suffer.

As she was reflecting, Xia Chaoyang called again.

Without a second thought, Jhiang Yuan hung up and blocked the number.

Immediately after, Bai Mengmeng’s number appeared, and she repeated the same action.

In her previous life, Jhiang Yuan contributed money, and they went out to buy things, claiming it was an even split upon return.

That meant giving her just odds and ends, how much they actually hid away was anyone’s guess.

In this life, she refused to be taken advantage of. To expect any favors from her was as likely as the sun rising from the west.

In the afternoon, indeed, quite a few people left the residential area.

Jhiang Yuan observed from her window all along, noting not only from Building 13 but likely from other buildings as well.

There weren’t many fresh vegetables and fruits left at home, but fortunately, the vegetables in the space were growing well.

She had just watered them with the newly acquired well, guessing they’d be ready to eat soon.

Leafy vegetables are good in this way, no matter the size, you can eat them whenever you wish.

Life went on, neither rushed nor slow, leisurely passing by.

By evening, mom had stewed tomato beef brisket, stir-fried mung bean sprouts—homegrown, pure natural green food.

There was steamed rice and the pickles fried earlier.

Just as they began to eat, the doorbell rang.

Without having to guess, she knew who it was, as people outside were all blocked in the safety corridor.

Only Song Yi could be a possibility.

“Mom and Dad, you guys eat first, I’ll go take a look,” she said.

“I’ll come with you!”

“No need, if something happens, I’ll call,” she replied.

Even so, Jhiang Xingzhi was carefully watching his daughter’s situation through the surveillance cameras.

If anything amiss happened, he could rush out immediately, even Qin Yue had taken out a hammer and handed it to him.

Then she sat back down at the dining table, serving food to Xiao Nuan.

The little girl felt the unusual atmosphere in the house and silently bowed her head to eat, not uttering a word.

In the hallway, Song Yi was the first to break the silence.

“Jhiang Yuan, if you’re free tonight, let’s go out,” he said. “There’s a supermarket nearby. If we don’t go, others will take advantage of it.”

He must be talking about the one she visited yesterday.

“Sure, but the water level is too high right now, I think it’s probably up to the neck outside,” she said while gesturing with her hand, the water would likely be up to her armpit considering her shorter stature compared to Song Yi.

“Hmm, I have an inflatable kayak at home; we can use that.

Now, the water level is very high, and about half of the stores outside have been submerged. That supermarket has a second floor, with all the food on it, so it should be better off,”
As she said this, Jhiang Yuan’s heart ached for the gold and silver jewelry!

“Hmm, right now supplies are the most important thing, but if I remember correctly, there are two jewelry display cases on the first floor.”

“You want them?”

“Yes, but they should be properly secured. I’m not sure if I can open them.”

Song Yi appeared confident and spoke calmly, “Don’t worry, I’ve called for help.”

“There are others?”

This time, it was Jhiang Yuan’s turn to be surprised.

“Yes, the young guy from 0902, a talented student in mechanical management. Picking locks is a piece of cake for him.

And the girl from 1101, the four of us will go together.”

They are on the same floor, so helping each other out is a given when neighbors face hardship.

The 9th floor guy has skills, but what advantage does the girl from the 11th floor have?

Looking at the young man before her, Jhiang Yuan instantly got it – he must have taken a fancy to the girl and was doing her a favor in passing.

After all, who doesn’t appreciate beautiful things?

“No problem, but how did you get in touch with them?

Don’t get me wrong, since we’re going to face the danger together, I need to know.”

“Hmm!”

Song Yi nodded vigorously, not hiding anything.

“When I came back today, quite a few people added me on WeChat.

I selectively accepted a few. That way, our 21st floor won’t become the target.”

Uh, alright then!

But this way, those two are in danger too.

Jhiang Yuan didn’t say anything. Originally, she had thought about letting Jhiang Xingzhi go with them if they went out.

Now it seems better to leave Dad at home.

They agreed to move at one in the morning. Jhiang Yuan went back and told the old couple about the plan.

After dinner, she went to sleep for a while.

Jhiang Xingzhi was reluctant and wanted to go with them. His daughter going out into such danger, and with two men no less, how could he agree to that.

“Dad, listen to me. Song Yi is leading this time. If I run into trouble, you guys definitely won’t let him off the hook. He isn’t stupid, and he will surely protect me.

Plus the other two people, we’re all going out together. It’s only natural we would stay close and look out for each other.

Moreover, if I’m not here, there’s only Mom and Xiao Nuan at home. What if someone comes up here while you’re not around?”

“But, Dad still worries about you!”

Hearing this, Jhiang Yuan felt a twinge in her nose and almost burst into tears.

“Dad, I’m already an adult, and I can take care of myself. This time going out, you all have to be extra careful too. Don’t believe anything anyone says, just stay at home and don’t open the door for anyone.”

This was the heaviest atmosphere at home ever, and Jhiang Yuan didn’t want to elaborate, so she went to sleep.

There would be more and more situations like this in the future, each more dangerous than the last.

Everyone had to get used to it in advance. This is the apocalypse, and no one could be an exception.

In the evening, she went out 10 minutes early, only to discover Song Yi sitting at her doorstep.

“What are you doing here?”

“Waiting for you. Let’s go!”

Scared the life out of me.

But it’s good being together. They had agreed to meet at the staircase on the 9th floor.

Until now they had only interacted in the group chat, finally meeting the person behind the messages.
