Moreover, she had left a note on the dining table, informing her parents that she had gone out, asking them not to worry.
At two in the morning, Jhiang Yuan tiptoed out of her house.
By the time she reached the first floor, the water had already entered, but it was quiet—everyone must have been asleep by then.
When she left the building, the water level had reached her waist.
Walking was indeed challenging as the visibility on the road continued to decrease.
Fortunately, the distance wasn’t too far, but it still took her twenty minutes to leave the residential area.
Upon reaching the opposite side of the road, she stuck to the edge and didn’t walk in the middle.
She crossed to the stores on the opposite side, heading south. There was a nice community supermarket there, one she had considered visiting yesterday, but it posed a safety risk.
Seeing the rain today, she guessed that she wouldn’t be able to come tomorrow, so she decided to go anyway.
She didn’t break down the door directly. She remembered there was a storeroom in the back of the supermarket, and she could detour through the restaurant next door to get there.
She had dined at this restaurant before, and its restroom was in the backyard. She planned to access it from there today.
The restaurant’s rolling door opened very easily. Looking at the wooden tables and chairs, she had a bright idea.
She promptly took three sets outside and left them in the yard.
After gathering the wood, it was time to think strategically.
Using her mind to sense around, it seemed not enough. She gathered two more sets, not caring much, and promptly headed to the back.
The restroom was under the stairs. Following the stairs up, she found the window to the supermarket storeroom.
Jhiang Yuan took out large pliers, and with tremendous effort, finally managed to cut through the iron bars.
Being small, she directly squeezed through. The storeroom wasn’t very large, about two hundred square meters or so, mostly storing alcohol in the front.
This area was small, and many shelves in the supermarket were stocked by brand vendors themselves, so the inventory wasn’t large.
Jhiang Yuan didn’t start grabbing items immediately but went out to find the duty room. The door was unlocked and no one seemed to be around.
She entered and discovered the surveillance hadn’t been turned on, probably to save electricity, which likely meant the security systems weren’t activated either. She had worried unnecessarily.
Her storage space was very limited, so she had to prioritize essential items.
The first floor housed two gold and jewelry shops, but the jewelry in the display cases had been secured. Not knowing how to unlock them, she gave up on that idea.
Food was the highest priority; she went directly to the second floor, which was in much worse condition than she had expected.
There were hardly any vegetables left, only a few white radishes.
Looking at the empty shelves, Jhiang Yuan sighed deeply and began packing the radishes—it was only two bags, but probably weighed over twenty kilograms.
Better something than nothing, she decided as she bagged them.
The adjacent shelves didn’t offer much either; there were some grains and oils, even fewer than at the vegetable store yesterday.
Moreover, only pickled cabbage flavor instant noodles were left, along with some snacks and milk, though it was unclear if they were expired. She decided to take them anyway.
There were still quite a few sausages, along with self-heating hot pot, self-heating rice, and some handmade noodles.
For snacks, there were puffed food products, small breads, biscuits, and various canned goods remaining.
She continued to fill her bag along the way.
During the summer, this place offered a home delivery service, which is why goods were selling fast.

Now, not much was left, even the bulk grains were in short supply.
Jhiang Yuan packed all the remaining bulk rice, then put the rest of the purple rice and corn grits into bags and stowed them in her space.
Some individually packaged snacks were still available, so she dealt with them in the same manner.
The beverages took up most of the remaining space; she had some stored at home too, and there was still a lot of space left, so she put quite a few in.
There were also some alcoholic drinks and such; she picked the more expensive ones, grabbed a few cases, and saved them for her dad to drink.
Although there weren’t many items, the variety was vast, so Jhiang Yuan still managed to pack her house full.
Now, only space in the yard was left, and it was uncertain how high she could stack things. If there were no height limitations, then she could continue placing indefinitely.
If that were the case, as long as the items didn’t fall over, she really could fit a lot more.
A surge of joy sprang up, and Jhiang Yuan began to execute her plan.
Not to mention, those drinks were already packed in boxes.
She controlled the placement with a password and her thoughts, but once the boxes reached the roof, there was no room to store more.
It was somewhat sad, but still, a lot could be accommodated.
In the storeroom, aside from these beverages, there were plenty of daily necessities like laundry powder, laundry detergent, and boxes of toilet paper and sanitary pads which made her job much easier.
Jhiang Yuan took all the useful items, including those on the first floor.
She didn’t continue collecting, but she did pick up six sets of shampoo and conditioner from the washing and caring section; she had previously stocked up plenty and that was enough.
Space, after all, should be reserved for more essential items.
Outside, there were plenty of clothing stores and two children’s playgrounds. Jhiang Yuan looked around for a while and collected a stack of small stools from the entrance.
They were for adults to sit while accompanying their kids playing nearby; the heights were just right.
In the two children’s clothing stores, all the clothes were from the summer and autumn collection. She picked out two sets of children’s jackets in different sizes for Xiao Nuan to wear.
Seeing some lovely shoes, she also picked a few pairs; her little princess had to look beautiful after all.
Then there were two jewelry stores and cosmetic stores. Jhiang Yuan took two skin care sets and five boxes of facial masks – that was it, as these items were just the icing on the cake.
She had already stocked up on some before, and if there was room, she would have put them all in the storage space to prevent them from expiring.
The middle area had two jewelry stores, to the left was a tobacco and liquor store and a tea shop.
On the right, there was a bakery and a beauty shop with plenty of skincare products.
The bakery seemed to be closed, and the counter was empty except for models.
The tea shop and tobacco and liquor store, however, had lots of goods, all of which were of high quality; Jhiang Yuan had often given these as gifts to clients.
Better alcoholic beverages, which were not sold in supermarkets, were only available in tobacco and liquor stores.
Luckily, these were not essential items, so the stock was relatively complete.
If there was space, the more the better.
Jars of tea, regardless of the type, she took them all.
There was even Cordyceps, an item hard to come by, which might not grow again in later stages, and there was also plenty of Saffron.
Dendrobium, Pre-rain Longjing, her eyes lit up, and finding a few cardboard boxes, she packed them all and took them away.
Lastly, she looked at the tea set in front of her, which seemed to be made of solid wood.
Moreover, it appeared to be quite nice. Although she wasn’t knowledgeable, it looked very solid and had a sense of antiquity.
After a moment of indecision, she took it as well.
By the time she finished up, it was already four-thirty in the morning.
The jewelry was all placed in safes; she couldn’t open them and was unable to take the transport cases either.
