Chapter 77 -77: Too Much Liquefied Gas, No Choice but to Give Up

“Right, going out in the daytime draws too much attention, and the visibility is too low at night, plus it’s unsafe.”

“Leaving early is the wise choice,” Jhiang Yuan was the first to voice her agreement. In fact, the other two certainly had no objections.

With that, the matter was settled pleasantly. Everyone returned home to rest and gather their strength.

…

The next morning, Jhiang Yuan got up at 3 AM.

She donned her temperature-regulating thermal underwear, stuck a few heat packs to her body, and put on a base layer.

Then she put on her fleece-lined, thickened polar research cold-weather gear with another layer of raincoat on top.

The weather was bitterly cold; wearing more was definitely beneficial.

She had already reorganized her space the day before, and now she was just waiting to load up on supplies crazily.

However, the main goal for today was still the upgraded components.

After getting dressed, she brewed herself a bowl of hot and sour rice noodles.

Her mother, worried, had gotten up and heated two small buns for her.

She also took a good amount of beef jerky and energy-boosting snacks, packing them into her backpack.

In the thermos, she filled hot water, just in case it was needed.

When Jhiang Yuan left her house, it was 3:50 AM, with the departure set for 4 o’clock.

Song Yi, as always, was waiting for her at the door. Without a word, the two silently descended the stairs.

On the 20th floor, Ye Mianmian and Zhang Kaiyang were also waiting in the hallway, quiet as mice. They began their descent.

Inflating the kayak, they then left quietly.

“Why do I feel like today’s rain isn’t as heavy as yesterday’s?”

“Yeah, the wind has died down, too. We probably wouldn’t have been able to stand upright yesterday, but now it’s a breeze,” Song Yi said, not really in the mood for conversation while holding the binoculars.

The situation outside was even worse than imagined.

There were more ruins; the water was dirty and filled with construction debris.

The current was swift, making it easy to run into problems without constant vigilance.

“My gosh, Sister Yuan, look…”

Following the direction of Ye Mianmian’s pointing finger, there seemed to be a corpse drifting past them.

She shook her head helplessly. In the future, she supposed, they might become accustomed to such sights.

Their first stop was the flower market, located directly west of Lushan Garden.

They went straight there, and then headed northeast towards the building materials and furniture city.

Exiting from there to the southeast was the expressway service area, forming a semicircle.

This route didn’t involve any detours, though, in fact, the reverse could also work.

But everyone thought that the service area was likely to have more goods due to the presence of a supermarket.

Carrying items on the road would be unsafe, increasing the difficulty level.

“Look, that’s the place.”

The flower market was within arm’s reach, but their destination was the small snack city across from it.

Due to its higher elevation, there were many other shops beneath the snack city, which they narrowly missed.

This time, Zhang Kaiyang used a fireman’s ax to break the window sill.

The last floor of the snack city was their entry point. Inside, all was quiet, so the group remained on alert.

At that moment, it was just 5 o’clock and still pitch-dark outside; they scouted for a long time and, after ensuring there were no dangers, finally relaxed.

“It stinks in here!”

Zhang Kaiyang complained while covering his nose from the rotten smell.

“There are so many stalls, it’s normal. Stop complaining and let’s get to work,” Sister Yuan urged.

If nothing else, each stall would have some liquefied gas.

Although no food was spared, there was still plenty of paper tissues and dried goods.

There was also a place that specialized in selling water, and there were quite a few snacks. Jhiang Yuan asked everyone to watch things while she went to the convenience store.

The area was under unified management; consumption inside was done using a card.

You could top up your card with cash, and that was handled right here.

There were quite a few people around, so there definitely would be money.

She expertly unlocked the cash register; everyone else was busy scavenging for supplies and didn’t have time to pay attention to her.

Damn, there really was cash. Judging by the feel of it, if it wasn’t thirty thousand, it was close.

Satisfied, she couldn’t just do nothing.

She took a large tote bag. Everything that could be eaten or used, she couldn’t let go.

The most abundant items were drinks, alcohol, and not a small amount of cigarettes.

Also, there was a considerable amount of instant foods, with instant noodles being the most prominent.

Jhiang Yuan carefully tidied up this area, leaving alone the succulent on the bar that had long withered away.

She collected the soil and left it at that, without any other actions.

This was what everyone had gathered together; she might embezzle, except for the cash.

On the other side, Ye Mianmian was busy tidying up a stall called “Authentic Yunnan Crossing-the-Bridge Rice Noodles.”

She was completely shocked; there were many side foods, dried ones, such as tofu skin, bean slices, kelp strands, as well as salted ones, all edible.

There were also black fungus, dried bean curd sticks, and daylily flowers. The most terrifying thing was that there were actually five and a half bags of rice noodles.

All dried, they could be soaked and cooked upon returning.

Zhang Kaiyang’s largest find was paper tissues, those of not too great quality, even some quite rough, in huge bags.

Jhiang Yuan also went to help. She started from one side.

While no one was looking, she collected quite a few disposable meal boxes and disposable chopsticks.

They’d be useful at home. With all this work, it was six-thirty, and it was still dark.

Looking at all these items in front of them, everyone still felt satisfied. At least there were many liquefied gas canisters; a full count revealed an impressive sixty-five of them.

“What should we do, with so much stuff, we definitely can’t take it all back at once.”

What Jhiang Yuan said was true; they had taken all canisters that had gas, even the half-used ones, they couldn’t bear to leave behind.

Song Yi also found it difficult; these were heavy, and not easy to pull back.

Everyone fell silent. The liquefied gas was truly important, but they could also survive without it.

“I have a suggestion, hear me out.”

As she spoke, everyone turned to look.

“I think we definitely can’t take it all back now. Everyone picks two, and we’ll have to abandon the rest.”

“Ah, it’s hard enough to have found this, to just give it up, I can’t accept that.”

Not to mention Ye Mianmian, no one could accept it.

“Is there really no other way?”

Zhang Kaiyang was already pinning his hopes on Song Yi and Jhiang Yuan, as he truly had no solution.

“Well, how about this, we’ll take the stuff across the street.”

“Across the street?”

“Yes, across the street is a flower market. Normally, people looking for food wouldn’t go there.

Besides, you can’t eat flowers and after such strange weather we’ve experienced, there’s not much alive anyway.

We hide the stuff over there and, when there are fewer people at night, we can secretly transport it back.”

Retreating as a way to advance was the best idea she could come up with.

“I think it’s feasible.”

Song Yi was the first to agree, and Ye Mianmian also nodded.

There was still hope, wasn’t there?

“Okay, let’s do that!”
