When Yao Ran and others left the department store, Huang Qian was carrying a new inflatable boat. There were increasing numbers of people queuing outside, and the department store was running low on supplies.
As they walked through the crowd, Yao Ran found a group of people staring at her. She thoughtfully looked at their faces and then looked away.
Yao Ran spent all her money today and bought a lot of supplies. Since there were too much supplies to carry on one ship, they decided to split into two teams.
Huang Qian drove Yao Ran's inflatable boat while Yao Ran guarded the supplies. Behind them, Shi Xuan drove the new inflatable boat while Jia Xiang, Huang Zhihui, and Deng Qiqi guarded the supplies.
Seeing more and more people coming, Shi Xuan urged them, "Let's go."
After leaving the department store, they drove directly to the Ling Yuan apartment complex.
Ten minutes later, Yao Ran glanced at her back and said to Huang Qian, "A group of people are following us."
Huang Qian looked back and found several rubber boats following them. He looked away and asked, "What do you want to do? Should we fight them?"
Yao Ran thought for a while and said, "Today, we are taking your sister and Deng Qiqi out. If possible, let's not fight."
Huang Qian was surprised that she would consider his younger sister and Deng Qiqi. He smiled and said, "Okay."
Huang Qian sped up as the streets became broader. As he drove by, he signaled to Shi Xuan that they were being followed. Shi Xuan nodded and sped up.
Seeing that their target suddenly sped up, the leader said, "Chase." "Yes, Boss."
Since Shi Xuan and the others only bought a small engine for their inflatable boat, they couldn't escape their pursuers. Yao Ran frowned when she saw this.
Huang Qian also noticed this and said, "We must find a way to shake them off. Otherwise, we have no choice but to fight."
There are many weapons in Yao Ran's space, but soldiers are patrolling everywhere, and she cannot take them out. Otherwise, the patrolling soldiers will arrest her and confiscate her weapons. Her nail gun can't be used due to the distance between her and the pursuers.
After thinking about it, Yao Ran reached out to her backpack and used it as a cover to take out a crossbow from her space. When she was loading arrows onto the crossbow, Huang Qian couldn't help but exclaim in surprise.
"Wow, Yao Ran, you also have a crossbow?"
Yao Ran nodded and said, "I have learned marksmanship before and joined the archery club when I was in college."
After saying that, she aimed the crossbow at the pursuer's boat and fired the short arrow. Swish- Stab!
A second later, the arrow stuck to one of the rubber boats. Soon, the leader discovered what had happened. He saw an arrow stuck under the rubber boat and cursed.
"Damn it! Speed up!"
The driver was nervous and tried to speed up, but the faster he drove, the faster the rubber boat sank. In desperation, the leader ordered the driver to slow down and jump onto another rubber boat before his rubber boat sank.
Seeing that shooting the rubber boat was effective, Yao Ran continued to shoot other rubber boats. Not long after, those people had already floated on the water. They could only furiously curse at Yao Ran.
After witnessing the scene just now, Huang Qian gave Yao Ran a thumbs up. Thirty minutes later, they returned to the Ling Yuan apartment complex safely.
When they arrived, Long Yu had already come down and was waiting for them on the fourth floor. Seeing that they had bought a lot of supplies, he helped them move all the supplies to the 20th floor.
After entering her apartment and changing her shoes, Yao Ran went into her space to take a shower. When she came out, she collapsed on the bed and stared at the ceiling.
Today, Yao Ran finally felt the benefits of having teammates. However, she has a secret, and she can't make a mistake. Even her biological father can betray and kill her, so she can't really trust Long Yu and his friends.
Yao Ran closed her eyes and muttered, "I'm so tired..."
They didn't go out for the next two days. Yao Ran spends her time reading, training, farming, and taking care of the livestock in the space.
During this period, Jia Xiang, Huang Zhihui, and Deng Qiqi all visited her and exchanged her fresh vegetables and mushrooms with other supplies.
The next day, Yao Ran was busy picking mushrooms but was interrupted by a knock on the door. She went to open the door and saw Deng Qiqi there.
"Qiqi, do you want to exchange vegetables and mushrooms again?"
Deng Qiqi smiled at Yao Ran and said, "Elder Sister Yao Ran, Elder Brother Xuan said he has something important to tell us, so he told me to invite you over."
Hearing this, Yao Ran raised her eyebrows slightly and thought, 'Something important? What does he want to tell me?'
Yao Ran nodded, "Alright. I will be there soon."
After sending Deng Qiqi away, Yao Ran washed her hands, put the newly picked mushrooms into her space, and went to unit 2001.
Deng Qiqi left the door open, so Yao Ran went in without knocking. Seeing that everyone was already seated in the living room, she casually sat down in the empty seat beside Long Yu. After she sat down, Shi Xuan looked at them seriously and said, "I think the end of the world is here."
When Yao Ran heard this, her eyes flickered for a second, and she couldn't help but look at Shi Xuan.
Seeing that no one said anything, Shi Xuan added, "Don't you guys think it's strange?"
He frowned and explained seriously, "An unprecedented typhoon, a twin tornado, a thunderstorm, a once-in-a-thousand-year torrential rain, all of these are things that will not happen on ordinary days."
