g at Lianrou's reaction, they knew that the two sides were impossible to get along peacefully.After calming down, the two sat together again and talked about it."Xiāorou was so resistant to seeing the...We are saved!

"The government has not given up on us!"

"We're here! Come quickly!"

The entire neighborhood erupted in frenzied shouts, as if releasing their fear.

“My fellow residents, the country has not abandoned anyone. It’s just that the disaster came suddenly, and it takes time to organize the rescue. We are currently unable to evacuate everyone. We are prioritizing the residents of the flooded floors. Please bring your food and evacuate in an orderly manner. Do not crowd!”

Rescue personnel on a speedboat wore orange rescue suits and repeatedly broadcast this message through loudspeakers in the neighborhood.

"Why What makes them more deserving of being saved My food supplies are running out!"

"We lost our homes, why can't you save us first You wouldn't even lend us a toilet during normal times."

The long-existing contradictions have finally erupted, with both sides arguing their points and even some resorting to violence to vent their dissatisfaction.

Rescue personnel won't care about these things, they just keep taking away the people who were flooded out of their floors one boatload at a time.

Among them, some smart people made a deal with those who wanted to leave. They moved into the houses that hadn't been flooded, it was all by mutual consent, and no one stopped them.

Ripple hugged the whirlwind, touching its slightly plumper body, and looked down at the messy situation below.

At this moment, Yuan Chongming knocked on the door of Lian's house.

"Yuan gege, is there anything"

"Do you want to go to the shelter Li Qian and they can make arrangements."

"No, I think it's fine here. With so many people crammed into the shelter, there will be more conflicts. Besides, I'm on the fifteenth floor and didn't get flooded. I have enough food stocked up. If I took these things to the shelter, I'd definitely get targeted. I don't want to harm ordinary people."

I advise you to give up this idea. You have children to raise, and your top priority now is to take care of yourself and your children. As for your companions, you should also advise them to stay with you; it's better that way.

This disaster is far from over, this is just the beginning.

Ripples, touching the whirlwind in his arms, looked meaningfully at Yuan Chongming.

Yuan Chongming was stunned for a moment, then nodded and returned to his own house.

Rescue workers came to Shanshui Huating for three days straight, taking everyone who had been living in the hallways. The entire community was quieter now, though it was only a superficial peace.

On the other side, Mu Mianmian had seized the golden finger early on and stockpiled a lot of food. Her life was very comfortable, and the men on the same floor were interested in her, protecting her well.

She feigned reluctance, teasing him and making his heart flutter. However, with his wife and son present, he dared not do anything more. But taking care of Mu Mianmian was still something he could manage.

Dong Zicheng, having prepared outdoor supplies in advance and making the most of the last moments to stockpile food, contacted classmates from the same building. They banded together and made it through the second month of the storm.

This time he completely believed Mu Mianmian's words, knowing that it would take another month for the torrential rain to stop completely. As for what would happen afterwards, he had no idea. Looking at the raindrop pendant in his hand, his eyes flickered with uncertainty.

Unfortunately, he can't get in touch with Mu Mianmian right now. He can only wait passively. When the rescuers arrive, he chooses to stay in his own residence and doesn't leave his rented place.

His classmates, however, were reluctant. They wanted to go to the relief point; at least there, someone would maintain order and there wouldn't be any food fighting. There would also be food, because theirs was running out. If they didn't go out looking for food soon, they would starve to death.

"I made an agreement with my junior schoolmate, Mianmian. I'll go look for her once the rain stops. If you guys want to leave, I won't stop you, but I'm going to wait here for the rain to stop."

Who knows when this rain will stop, if we don't leave soon we'll starve to death here.

One male student said coldly.

"I insist!"

Dong Ziqing also said.

Let's split the rest of the food and go our separate ways.

Someone immediately said.

"Good!"

Dongziqing didn't refuse. If he didn't bring out the food they had found together, these people wouldn't leave.

After dividing the food, everyone dispersed. It ended relatively amicably.

Dong Ziqing scoffed at this, saying that going to the resettlement point would mean being controlled, with no food and not even able to snatch any. Let's see how long they can hold out.

The rain had been falling for half a month, seemingly struggling and making its last effort. During this time, the rainfall did not decrease, remaining at a heavy level.

The ninth floor was also flooded, and the residents of the ninth floor could only move to the stairwell to huddle, praying for the rain to stop soon.

Meanwhile, those previously displaced residents at the resettlement center were enduring hardship. The population was swelling, while rations dwindled. There was barely enough room to turn around; even passing gas could be heard by the person next to you. It was preferable to curl up in the hallway, but they had no way of returning home for the time being.

Ripple's days are pretty laid-back now, just taking care of Stormwind. Under her constant feeding, the little black cat has finally put on some weight, its fur is slowly starting to shine, and it's also become very smart.

Every day, I spend half an hour playing with Tan Jia Yao. After putting him to bed, he comes to find Lian Yi for canned meat.

Because of the ripples' words, Yuan Chongming decided to stay and not go to the resettlement point. Li Qian and others, after hearing Yuan Chongming recount the ripples' words, also decided to stay here for now. After all, their mission was already completed, and it didn't matter where they were.

However, because the rain didn't stop, their speedboat rental frequency was very high, so all the households' remaining food supplies were almost running out. If they couldn't find food again, they would really only be able to stave off hunger with water.

Yuan Chongming and his team went out every ten days, finding anything they could. They really found a lot of things! As long as they thought something was useful, they brought it back.

There were all sorts of things: pots and pans, army coats, steel pipes, stoves, alcohol, tablecloths – you name it. I have no idea where they got them all from. Once, they even managed to drag back two fish.

Another half month passed, and the rain finally stopped completely. Three days later, the sun finally showed its smile, and everyone was overjoyed with tears of happiness. The rain had finally stopped.

This time, Lian'yi took the initiative to knock on Yuan Chongming's door.

"Ripple, you're here! Come in and sit down. I made fish stew today, you're in for a treat."

Zhao Jia smiled and said.

Because whenever they went out, Ripple usually stayed home and took care of things, and it had always been fine. So, when they harvested something, they let Ripple choose, and she always picked things that weren't very valuable. She never touched the food, which everyone was grateful for.

"I'm here to tell you something."

Ripples had no intention of staying for dinner, so she went straight to the point.

"What's the matter Come in."

Zhao Jia saw Lian Yi's expression was serious, so she let the person in.

Rian sat on the sofa and said to Yuan Chongming:

I dreamt again last night, dreaming that this place had become the North Pole, terribly, incredibly cold. You best find some warm clothes and bedding when you go out recently. go inside, just stood at the door, rolled up her sleeves, and started shouting. She claimed that the teachers at the admissions office were corrupt and colluded to replace her husband's exam papers,...
