Chapter 40: Chapter 40 Ye Mianmian’s Company Chapter 40: Chapter 40 Ye Mianmian’s Company As she said this, Jhiang Yuan felt a surge of excitent inside her.
There were definitely many wooden desks, chairs, and benches in the office that her space greatly needed.
Jhiang Yuan, “Mianmian, where is your company located? I rember you are a Beauty Strear.”
Ye Mianmian, “Yes, Sister Yuan, but there are a lot of livestrears in our area, and there’s a snack shop right downstairs.”
Zhang Kaiyang, “Whoa, big sis, why didn’t you say so earlier? With this, who needs to go to the property managent’s little supermarket!”
Ye Mianmian, “However, our company is at Qingping Square. Although it’s not too far from here, it’s not very convenient to row there, so that’s why I didn’t ntion it.”
Jhiang Yuan, “Mianmian, don’t tell your company is the office building behind the square!”
Ye Mianmian, “That’s the one, we’re in Building C!”
Behind Qingping Square, there were four office buildings, which belonged to the bustling areas of East Suburb.
The concentration of office workers was here, and besides, most of the businesses here were involved in internet incubation.
This ant online shopping, mainly for livestreaming, which corresponded to the realm of e-comrce.
Jhiang Yuan, “That’s great, if possible, we should head over there.
If we stay too long, we might attract attention from the people nearby.”
Although it was a business district and office complex, there were also many residential buildings nearby, at least much closer than their current location.
Ye Mianmian, “It’s just too far away. With the situation outside now, I guess the GPS won’t work either. How are we supposed to get there?”
Indeed, this was a problem.
Song Yi, “I brought an inflatable raft with a motor.”
What? This guy actually had sothing like that, aweso!
Zhang Kaiyang, “Brother Song, you are my god…”
A motorized raft would make so noise and might be more dangerous, but for traveling to a farther place, it was a necessary tool.
Jhiang Yuan coveted Ye Mianmian’s company building.
She was quite familiar with that place, and she guessed that not many would think of it later on when more people got the sa idea.
The distance to Lushan Garden was estimated to be 4.3 kiloters, a quick drive under normal circumstances.
Currently, traveling there by inflatable raft would likely take more ti.
Moreover, with the high water levels, so of the roads wouldn’t be the sa anymore.
Avoiding obstacles in the water would require great skill.
Song Yi, “If we’re lucky, we’ll gather quite a lot.
One inflatable raft certainly won’t be enough. I’ll also bring the manually-paddled one to carry the goods.”
Jhiang Yuan, “I’ve bought so adventure gear before, including an inflatable raft. Let’s bring that along too.”
Zhang Kaiyang, “If we take too much, we might not be able to bring it all back, and if we’re spotted on the way back, we’ll have to protect the goods and deal with bad guys. I don’t think the four of us have enough combat power!”
Everyone fell silent because what he said was the truth—sothing unavoidable.
Ye Mianmian, “The way there isn’t safe either. We should try to go during the day, but that increases the chance of being noticed by others.”
Jhiang Yuan, “Let’s do this—we’ll use only one raft. We’ll take as much as we can carry; we can’t make clothes for others to wear, after all.”
Song Yi, “I agree!”
Now, he was the core person of the entire team, not only strong in combat but also well-equipped.
Therefore, everybody listened to him.
Ye Mianmian and Zhang Kaiyang had no objections, so the matter was settled.
Song Yi, “Bring so weapons to save our lives…”
As he said that, everyone felt a heavy weight on their hearts.
Normal people are indeed scared when facing a life-or-death situation.
Furthermore, as young people raised under the red flag, they never imagined they would experience such events.
After putting down her cell phone, Jhiang Yuan began to sleep.
There was a tough battle to fight tomorrow; sleep was still very important. Otherwise, she’d lack energy.
Jhiang Xingzhi and Qin Yue didn’t know about their plan yet. The next day they got up as usual to make breakfast and then prepared dumplings and stead buns.
“What, you’re going out again?”
Qin Yue was sowhat afraid because she had also joined a group that organized community group buying.
There were bodies floating around in it, and there were quite a few ssages about people who went out and never returned, which she had seen as well.
“Yes, Mom, don’t be nervous. The four of us will go out together this ti, and since it’s during the day, it should be a bit better.
Plus, we have soone familiar leading the way, the sa young girl from last ti.”
“But that’s not okay. So many strong young n went out yesterday, and a few didn’t co back.
My girl, listen to your mother. We have so much stuff at ho; there’s no need to take risks out there.”
Jhiang Xingzhi deeply agreed, truly unable to comprehend why his daughter insisted on going out.
“Dad, Mom, I understand what you an, but everything’s a ss outside now.
People have already started disregarding law and order, and if we don’t go out now, we’ll have even less of a chance later.
I promise you this will be the last ti. After I co back, I’ll stay at ho obediently and not go out again.”
The elderly couple wanted to say sothing else, but Jhiang Yuan had already made up her mind.
Qin Yue let out a sigh. Their child had grown up, with a mind too set in her ways for them to sway any longer.
“By the way, Dad, Mom, we don’t have the best relationship with the couple downstairs. When I’m not ho, you must be cautious.
Don’t open the door for anyone. As long as you don’t open it, no one can get in.”
She didn’t say more, but she had great confidence in the two doors of their ho.
Having given her instructions, she was ready to set off.
Jhiang Yuan went back to her room, put on thermal clothing, and then added a layer of waterproof gear.
On the outside, she wore a mountain windproof jacket purchased from an outdoor gear store, which was said to be suitable even for an Antarctic expedition.
She also wore a raincoat over it and put on rain boots. She attached heating pads to keep warm on her body and feet.
Then she took her backpack, which contained food and water prepared by Qin Yue.
Just then, Song Yi ca to knock on the door.
She followed him out, with her parents looking on with reluctant faces.
Without looking back, Jhiang Yuan walked away.
In the apocalypse, these situations were far too common. Even if it ant parting from life or death, everyone had to accept and get used to it.
Ye Mianmian and Zhang Kaiyang were also ready, waiting for them.
“Let’s go, Brother Song, Sister Yuan. We have to take the third floor this ti…”
“Hmm…”
Today, many people were going out, all passing through the third floor.
When they left at nine o’clock, the torrential rain outside was the sa as before, and it seed to be accompanied by so wind.
When they got to the third floor, there were actually three more people getting ready to go out.
Song Yi didn’t move; Jhiang Yuan and the others just stood behind him.
“Brother, you guys are heading out too?”
“Yes!”
“Where are you planning to go?”
“We’ll see when we get out there, wherever is open!”
Song Yi’s voice was indifferent, not really wanting to deal with these few people.
The other person didn’t press the matter, and one of them had already gotten the bathtub ready, hurrying the other two along.
