Rebirth: I Am Super Rich in Apocalypse-Chapter 66 - Battle on the Eighth Floor
Chapter 66: Chapter 66 Battle on the Eighth Floor
Chapter 66 -66 Battle on the Eighth Floor
Jhiang Yuan didn’t deliberately exaggerate, but in the apocalypse, the last thing you can afford is to be emotional and act rashly.
It seems that the education on survival must continue.
She went back overnight and found several movies about the apocalypse, preparing to show them to her parents the next day.
This trouble made time pass quickly, and she needed to rest urgently.
There were still things to do during the day, and time could not be wasted.
Jhiang Yuan had a plan in mind, now that the preparation of the space was almost complete; they just needed to plant some vegetables later on.
Additionally, it looked like the torrential rain would stop soon.
The wind had been too strong these past few days, so everyone stayed indoors and prepared more supplies.
Once the rain lessened or just stopped, they would go out to find more resources.
They now had ample supplies of many things, enough food for decades, and a water source within the space.
It’s items like gasoline and liquefied gas that they could really use more of.
When the extreme cold arrives and chaos ensues outside, it’s hard to say whether the house would remain secure.
Later on, when the Survivor Base is fully functional, they will probably move there.
People are social creatures; it’s just not possible for one family to always be together.
The adults might be fine, but children need their peers or to be with others their age.
However, she wouldn’t go during the early stages when conditions were not favorable.
She had no idea how much longer the apocalypse would last or whether other disasters would follow the cold.
Thinking about it gave her a headache, so she decided not to dwell on it.

But this issue couldn’t be neglected; everything required advanced planning.
The next day, she still got up at eight and started making breakfast with her mom.
Now, they did whatever was simple to avoid wasting any kind of resource.
The rice was washed and pre-soaked in water the day before.
This made it cook much faster, made it easier to soften, and saved electricity…
They used the steam from the boiling pot to warm some steamed buns and Huajuan rolls.
They had pickled quite a lot of small salty vegetables at home, and lately, they often had sweet and sour radishes and salty eggplant.
All of it was bought before, and mom said that if they didn’t eat the salty eggplant for a long time, it could go bad, though it was okay in colder weather.
A quick heat revealed its true state.
“Mom, later let dad bring down two canisters of coal gas. We should prepare more meats and such.
I’ve seen the weather forecast before; the torrential rain here will probably last about a month.
It seems fiercer today than usual, so it might start to weaken gradually afterwards.”
Qin Yue was delighted to hear this.
“That’s great, my girl. Once the rain stops, life will get back to normal. Why bother making so much food?”
Well, mom was still naive.
“Mom, don’t forget what month it is.
Once the rain stops, it will be winter.
All this rainwater combined with cold air; it’s going to freeze over.
Think about it, with the rain it’s still fine now, we make food and the smell doesn’t go anywhere.
If the rain really stops and others discover us, won’t that be more troublesome?”
Upon reflection, Qin Yue realized she had a point.
“Alright then, I’ll have your dad go later on. You first take these over.”
“Yeah, okay.”
Jhiang Yuan didn’t know if the smell would get out in this weather. At least the last time they cooked, there hadn’t been a trace of scent.
Plus, with the torrential rain and howling wind, there was plenty of noise; even if they were banging pots and pans, nobody would pay attention.
In the end, it was safe.
Moreover, she could take advantage of this rare opportunity to prepare more meat and store it in her space.
The situation afterwards is uncertain, it’s definitely good to prepare more.
After a simple breakfast, the family got to work. Qin Yue took Xiao Nuan to tidy up the refrigerator and freezer.
Jhiang Xingzhi went to get the liquefied gas cylinders, ready to cook more food.
“By the way, girl, aren’t you going to come into the kitchen?”
“Why not?”
“If someone comes to buy stuff during the day, and you’ve got the smell of meat on you, wouldn’t that give it away?”
Huh?
I had calculated everything but somehow forgot about this. It’s really speechless.
However, when compared, the temptation of cash was clearly greater.
Left with no choice, Jhiang Yuan tearfully agreed, but she still emphasized repeatedly that once the food was ready, she wanted to taste it to check the seasoning before she gave up.
Jhiang Xingzhi was right, several groups of people came during the day; two of them came in groups.
One group was from the neighboring building 12, and the other was from the opposite building 10.
These are the ones closer to building 13. Clothes and such were mostly sold out, and tobacco and alcohol also sold well.
The rest were daily necessities.
Jhiang Yuan had a good amount of cash on hand; in the past few days, she had made at least five hundred thousand.
The time in her space had also increased to 726 hours 53 minutes 28 seconds.
All things considered, that’s already a month’s worth, which is great.
Around six o’clock, it had already gotten dark outside, earlier than it would in normal weather conditions.
She planned to pack up her things and take them back, not planning to sell any more tomorrow.
“Sister Yuan, what are you up to?”
She turned around unexpectedly and saw Zhang Kaiyang, grinning with his big buck teeth, looking very happy.
“Packing up, what brings you here?”
“There’s nothing urgent, just thought I’d come down and see the excitement. Haven’t seen you and Brother Song for a few days now. Come on, stop by my place later!”
Jhiang Yuan looked at him, carefree as always, with some bewilderment.
“There was indeed some noise downstairs just now, what happened?”
Being on the top floor, she couldn’t hear it clearly. Had she been inside, she probably wouldn’t have heard it at all.
“The eighth floor had a fight. Come on, just let Brother Song know, and I’ll head down first, Ye Mianmian is waiting at home.”
“Sure!”
Jhiang Yuan agreed and thought it was also a good opportunity to discuss her plans with these people.
After sending the goods back home and informing her parents, she went to knock on Song Yi’s door.
He didn’t want to go initially, but since Jhiang Yuan came to find him, he didn’t say much else.
Upon reaching the 20th floor, to their surprise, Zhang Kaiyang and Ye Mianmian had prepared quite a few snacks.
It was not hard to see that they were mostly scavenged by them beforehand.
“Have a seat, Brother Song, Sister Yuan…”
Zhang Kaiyang called them over, and Ye Mianmian brought them some hot water.
“You two didn’t go down just now, the eighth floor was really something.”
“What happened? Come on, tell us all about it.”
Ye Mianmian was curious too, but this guy said that he would wait until the two of them came down to discuss everything at once.
“Our building is flooded up to the fifth floor now, and everyone is moving to higher floors.
The hallway is crowded with people, and occasionally they need to use the bathroom, so they knock on doors.
It was okay before, but now there’s no water, it’s difficult even for us to use the bathroom, let alone letting others in.
Remember the guy who lived on the fifth floor?”
“You don’t mean the one we met the first time we went out, do you?”
