Rebirth: I Am Super Rich in Apocalypse-Chapter 46 - Alone
Chapter 46: Chapter 46 Alone
Chapter 46 -46 Alone
Fortunately, the desks, sofas, and coffee tables were all made of solid wood.
There was a rest area outside with two pots of completely dried flowers—they were tidied up and taken away, which meant the trip hadn’t been a waste.
What she needed most now was soil. Outside, there was mostly water, and soil was already scarce.
When the extreme cold of the latter stages of the apocalypse arrived, most of the land would be frozen under the ice, unless it was at a particularly high elevation and without accumulated water.
Right, she could go up to the mountains later on to collect soil.
But that was for later. For now, virtually every company office had a few potted plants.
Every little bit added up, and she wasn’t picky.
On the 16th floor, there were two jewelry stores selling hair clips and one selling Glazed Beads…
These items were of no use in the apocalypse.
She had scavenged for wood and soil—that was enough. The other places had already been searched by the other two.
After thinking it over, she still took a camellia hair clip, planning to give it to Ye Mianmian later. She couldn’t help it; it was really pretty.
Song Yi and Zhang Kaiyang were busy on the 15th floor in a pharmaceutical company. Although there weren’t many drugs, there was a display case.
A company with over a hundred employees had plenty of perks and a good welfare system.
There were over two hundred unopened parcels just from the courier service alone.
When she arrived, Zhang Kaiyang was opening mystery boxes.

“Sister Yuan, come and join us!”
“Forget it, I’ll go help Brother Song collect some stuff.”
Zhang Kaiyang liked that feeling and didn’t stop her.
Song Yi had already searched half of the place, so Jhiang Yuan went to the reception area next door and the offices in the back.
Now that they had more people, they couldn’t take the bigger items, but she had already scoped out the place.
She knew what was there, and would find an opportunity to come back later.
Soon, they were done with this place as well.
The group carried their findings to the 17th floor; Ye Mianmian also came down carrying two big bags.
“I brought over our company’s afternoon tea and snacks, as well as a lot of tissues and things like moist towelettes—they can be useful.”
“Impressive, Mianmian is really getting ahead,” Zhang Kaiyang couldn’t resist teasing her. But with so many items, everyone was happy.
“Here, Mianmian, I think this suits you,” Jhiang Yuan handed over the hair clip, and Ye Mianmian was momentarily surprised before happily accepting it.
“Thank you, Sister Yuan. I also got you two skincare sets. These are really valuable; we usually can’t bring ourselves to buy them for ourselves.”
Indeed, they were luxury items, and Jhiang Yuan was very happy too.
Meanwhile, Zhang Kaiyang made a face and handed a piece of beef jerky to Song Yi, “Brother Song, I think you might need this beef jerky. It’s for you.”
Jhiang Yuan and Ye Mianmian rolled their eyes at him in a mocking manner.
The group dared not waste time or split up for fear of unexpected incidents.
By nine o’clock in the evening, they had turned upside down everything still above water in this building.
They discovered three snack stores and one selling assorted grains, dried fruit, cured sausages, and local specialties.
The 17th floor was so crowded with stuff that it was bursting at the seams.
Ye Mianmian went to prepare the food, and everyone was careful not to get too cold, using cold light sources for lighting.
Downstairs, everything was stored on the 7th floor; this was anything from the 17th floor and above.
“With so much stuff, we have enough to hold out for a while. There’s just me at my place, so I estimate I could stay put for two years without any issues,” Zhang Kaiyang said contentedly, with enough supplies to open a supermarket.
“Don’t get too excited just yet. How to transport all these things back is still a problem,” Jhiang Yuan didn’t want to rain on his parade, but she had to face the facts.
“Yeah, with so much stuff, we won’t be able to take it back in one trip, probably not even in two trips.”
Ye Mianmian felt somewhat disheartened. Indeed, blessings are often intertwined with disaster, and vice versa.
“If it takes two trips, then so be it. We can’t just leave these things here; they are all valuable goods.”
“Kaiyang is right. We must get the stuff back, and chances are we won’t have the opportunity to come out again anytime soon. Everyone needs to hang in there.”
When Song Yi spoke, he radiated a strong sense of security, and Zhang Kaiyang breathed a sigh of relief; his supplies were safe.
“This place doesn’t seem safe either. We should leave someone here to keep watch. If others come by, we can deal with them.
If the opponents are strong, we can at least warn the rest to avoid unnecessary losses.”
As Jhiang Yuan said this, everyone had the same thought in mind.
No one wanted their hard-earned supplies to fall into someone else’s hands.
But who should we leave behind? That was another problem.
Ye Mianmian was worried, as she was the least combat-capable here.
“I’m scared to be alone. Can you please not leave me here by myself?”
This was the moment for the compassionate big sister to shine.
“Mianmian, don’t be afraid. You’re so pretty, we wouldn’t possibly leave you here on your own.”
With that said, everyone started to think of unpleasant possibilities, and Ye Mianmian shivered with fear.
“I have to go back with Brother Song because we’re strong and need to steer the boat, so that leaves…”
All eyes turned to Jhiang Yuan, who was initially startled but quickly regained her composure. It was important to show everyone she could handle the change in expression.
“It seems I’m the only one who can stay. It’s not a problem, but I need a flashlight to be left for me, just the one I brought will do.”
Her term was as good as no condition at all, and successfully diverted everyone’s attention.
“Can you manage by yourself?”
Song Yi suddenly asked, looking into Jhiang Yuan’s eyes as if trying to discern something.
“Do we have any other choice?”
Indeed, with only four people, was there any other choice?
“Alright, then take care of yourself. If someone really comes, just hide…”
“Don’t worry, I’m not dumb.”
Jhiang Yuan couldn’t help but retort, as Song Yi was making the atmosphere too tense.
“Let’s all rest for a bit now. We’ll set out promptly at midnight.”
“Alright…”
At best, they only had two hours of rest time, and tonight they would likely be up all night.
“I’ll let my dad know in advance, so when you get there, he can come down to help…”
The more people, the faster it will be.
The faster it is, the less dangerous.
“Okay!”
At twelve o’clock, they started moving the items outside, starting with the food, which was all on the 17th floor.
The 7th floor had only scavenged items and nothing of value.
Everyone was prepared for the worst, so they took the most valuable items first.
Both kayaks were spread out, the one with the motor towing the other fully loaded with supplies.
Everything was covered with plastic tarpaulins, their equipment was indeed quite complete.
After these preparations, it was already 12:40.
“Jhiang Yuan, be assured, no matter what, I will come back to pick you up. Take care of yourself.”
“Yeah, no worries. I trust you all. Even if you can’t make it, it’s okay. With so much stuff here, I won’t starve, hahaha…”
