If the space area could add two zeros. Jiang Ning would race against time to sweep through this city. 

Rather than witnessing the disappearance of humanity’s survival resources and seeing everyone engaging in even more brutal struggles like fighting each other with knives over a moldy loaf of bread. 

Reality is cruel, and Jiang Ning can only take care of herself. 

She regained her focus and continued to race against the flood. 

Milk, yogurt, powdered milk, camel milk, soymilk powder, cereal, lotus root powder, lotus seed and lily soup, white sugar, rock sugar, brown sugar, etc. 

The water had already reach to her thighs. She had no time to look at labels and let alone be picky, her hands swiftly scanning the shelves, regardless of whether she liked it or not, anything was better than feeding it to the flood. 

Various canned goods, dried fruits and snacks, chocolates, energy bars, biscuits, cheese, chicken legs, chicken wings, duck necks, beef jerky, diced mutton, flavored tofu, spicy strips, bamboo shoots, etc., the space was filling up at a visible speed. 

After stocking up on a bunch of noodles, Jiang Ning arrived at the instant food section, where there were all kinds of instant noodles, screw noodles, hot and sour noodles, and there were not many left due to the typhoon. Especially the instant noodles, only the old pickle flavor was left. 

She disregarded and didn’t mind the smell of feet. 

In her previous life, she even gnawed a tree bark and ate guanyin soil in order to survive. In the end, she had to dig with tree sticks to use the toilet. 

When she came to the seasoning section. Without hesitation, she first stocked up on essential items such as peanut oil, corn oil, olive oil, tea oil, and blended oil. There simply wasn’t any space left. 

Soy sauce, oyster sauce, vinegar, cooking wine, all taken in large, space saving containers. 

LaoGanMa chili sauce, pickled vegetables, fermented bean paste, tofu in chili oil, canned bamboo shoots, there were dozens of brands on the shelf, all swept away. 

When she encounters something, she likes to eat. She takes it out of the water and doesn’t waste it. 

Next were various seasoning packets, water cooked beef, pickled cabbage oil, red oil hot pot, orleans chicken wings, salt-baked chicken powder, many of which were not already swept away. She didn’t see many of them when she scanned the area. 

The water had risen to her waist, although she was wearing a one piece raincoat, she still felt cold, and it was very inconvenient to walk. 

But this is her last chance for a big shopping spree, it’s better to grab a little more now than fight desperately for a bite later, right? 

It’s a pity that the first floor was flooded, otherwise there would still be some precious resources. 

When the water level was almost up to her chest, she already felt like she was floating, and most of the products were either sinking or floating on the water. 

Collecting supplies became even more difficult, but luckily the space was already full, and even the bathroom was almost full. 

Just as she was about to scoop up the puffed snacks floating on the water’s surface, a beam of light swept by not far away. 

Jiang Ning was surprised. Was there someone else also shopping for free? 

With the flashlight shining, she quickly hid behind the shelves and became fully alert. 

She wasn’t sure how many people had come, and fighting in the water would be a disadvantage for her. Moreover, she had already swept most of the important items onto the second floor. If her space was discovered… 

Jiang Ning couldn’t afford to take the risk. She took out a portable diving mask from her space and put it on, then quietly submerged into the water, swimming towards the fire exit. 

The rainwater poured into the flood and it makes her body extremely heavy. 

She held her breath and swam while undressing. When she couldn’t hold it any longer, she floated up and revealed her mask to breathe. 

From the sounds, it seemed like only one person had come. 

Jiang Ning breathed a sigh of relief, pushed open the fire exit with great effort, and climbed the stairs towards the top floor. 

She took a breather to rest without turning on the flashlight, then pulled out some chocolate to replenish her energy. She waited for the exhaustion to subside before going barefoot to the top floor. 

The top floor was empty, while the water on the second floor had already risen above halfway. 

As she left, Jiang Ning glanced at the Hummer in the parking lot that she had her eye on. 

It was the same model as the 1801’s car, with a high chassis and ample horsepower and its appearance is extremely domineering. It could easily send ordinary SUVs flying and was truly an apocalypse war machine. 

Unfortunately, her space couldn’t accommodate it. Compared to that, she chose a more comfortable and versatile RV. 

She patted the car hood, feeling a pang of regret. 

Before long, all these cars would be completely submerged and then washed away by the flood, which was truly a pity. 

The water level was rising rapidly, and the current became so strong that the rubber boat could easily be swept away.

Jiang Ning had no choice but to take out the motorboat. There were many obstacles underwater, and she didn’t dare to row too fast for fear of damaging it. 

The entire city was plunged into darkness, and the visibility of the waterproof mining lamp was limited, so she could only slowly navigate through the water. 

Operating the motorboat was simple, but the sound of the motor was easily alarming. 

Fortunately, the typhoon had just stopped, and the government was actively carrying out rescue operations. Even if people nearby heard it, they would just thought it was the fire department’s rescue. 

Jiang Ning didn’t return to her apartment but raced against time to another place. 

Three kilometers away, the motorboat moved slowly and took half an hour to travel in the darkness. 

A six story electronics commercial building, where the flood had already reached the third floor. 

Jiang Ning used a window breaker to smash the glass on the fourth floor and climbed in, heading straight to a solar technology company’s retail store. 

It was an activity flyer she had received before the typhoon hit, promoting the latest solar generators. She had specifically come to the store to learn more about it: efficient solar panels, off grid power generation, flexible grid frequency inverters that could efficiently concentrate solar power and charge quickly using grid power, and most importantly, the battery box with a capacity of up to 100 degrees of electricity. 

With a capacity of a whopping 100 degrees, you could power several air conditioners or heaters at the same time! 

Of course, the price was also quite beautiful—68,000! 

Jiang Ning didn’t have the money to buy it, but she made a mental note of the retail store. 

Compared to it, other generators were nothing but trash. 

After making sure that the mall was empty, she took out a crowbar and forcefully pried open the rolling shutter. 

The storefront wasn’t large, and she pried open the back door and went straight to the new generator placed in the prime spot. 

The display only had a battery box and inverter. After prying open the rear warehouse, she found another unit of the same model and didn’t hesitate to load it in. 

Solar panels and support frames took up a lot of space. Since there was no room left in her space, she could only place them on the balcony. 

She was afraid that the components might get damaged, she took all the spare parts that could be used. 

Seeing there was still space on the balcony, she also took some several mobile battery boxes. Although their storage capacity was much lower, being able to charge directly was already very good. 

There were many expensive household appliances in the mall, but there was no space left in her space. 

It was already past five in the morning, and she had to get back before daylight. 

The water flow became even stronger, and Jiang Ning rowed against the wind in the pouring rain with her motorboat. 

As she approached the Jinrong community, she turned off the motor and paddled to the bottom of the building where the water flow was calmer, then quietly swapped the motorboat for a rubber boat. 

The dawn was approaching, and she could already see things vaguely. 

Just as she paddled to the window of the building, she noticed that there’s a rubber boat. 

No, it’s a motorboat. 

There was someone on the motorboat, putting something through the window. 

Judging by the figure, it was a man, and he turned around to see Jiang Ning. 

There was no time to hide. Jiang Ning instantly became vigilant…
