16: Thanks, I don't want a duck.

Jiang Fei lowered her voice and said, "I have an empty apartment upstairs. Do you want to move up and live there?"

"The stairwell on the 22nd floor has an electric gate, which is not only safe, but also allows for electricity usage at home."

Jiang Fei intently watched Xiao Chuxia's reaction.

Xiao Chuxia was first surprised, then became serious, whispering, "Miss, you absolutely must not tell anyone about this."

"Yulan Garden is out of power now and has taken in so many refugees. If they knew about this, they would definitely think you have a lot of supplies there and might act rashly."

"I won't move up. If my parents come back looking for me and find me not home, they'll worry."

She also didn't want to trouble the Miss.

From beginning to end, Xiao Chuxia showed no sign of greed.

Jiang Fei relaxed, "Then I'll replace your door."

"An electric gate is heavier than a regular door. Even without power, it's safer than your current door."

Jiang Fei did not plan to give Xiao Chuxia a generator.

Wealth should not be exposed. It's unclear whether the other two families on the 21st floor are good or bad, and it wouldn't be good if it brought trouble to Xiao Chuxia.

If others were good to her, she would also be good to them. Jiang Fei always repaid kindness and grievances clearly.

This time, Xiao Chuxia did not refuse and helped Jiang Fei move the electric gate downstairs to replace her old one.

Just as Jiang Fei was about to leave, Xiao Chuxia called her to wait and took out a luxury shopping bag from her room:

"This is a new dress I bought before the heavy rain. I think it suits Miss very well."

"You're so beautiful, you shouldn't wear black sportswear every day. When this flood disaster is over, you can wear it. Then we can go shopping together; you pick, and I'll swipe the card."

Xiao Chuxia's eyes were full of anticipation.

Jiang Fei didn't shatter her illusion and nodded.

Her peripheral vision caught the price tag on the dress. Jiang Fei thought she was seeing things and looked again: "...99999?"

"Isn't it cheap?" Xiao Chuxia said proudly:

"The day I bought it, there was a promotion, and it was even several hundred cheaper."

"If I hadn't spent all the money in my card, I would have bought the other six colors of this dress too."

Jiang Fei understood; Xiao Chuxia was a rich young lady.

"I can charge phones there. Do you want to contact your parents?"

"Yes!" Xiao Chuxia excitedly followed Jiang Fei upstairs.

The phone was fast-charging.

After charging for a while, it could turn on.

Xiao Chuxia immediately called her parents, but there was no answer.

After several attempts, it was still the same, so Xiao Chuxia had to send a text message:

"My parents are abroad. They should be safe, right?"

Jiang Fei hesitated for a moment, then tactfully said, "Perhaps this disaster is global."

Even if she didn't say it now, Xiao Chuxia would soon understand.

Xiao Chuxia's face paled slightly, and she forced a smile, changing the subject: "I'll go back and rest first. Can I leave my phone here to charge?"

"Mm, if there's a call or text, I'll come downstairs and tell you."

After Xiao Chuxia left, Jiang Fei placed her phone by her pillow, so she wouldn't Miss it if she fell asleep.

After a night of tossing and turning, she could finally rest.

—

Light rain fell for two days.

Jiang Fei had already returned the fully charged phone to Xiao Chuxia, but there was still no news from her parents.

Xiao Chuxia was downcast.

Not knowing how to comfort her, Jiang Fei quietly left her a few bags of Supermarket fruit candy and then left.

Crippled Wang had already sent a message, agreeing to meet today at 12 PM.

Jiang Fei, dressed in her raincoat, took her inflatable boat downstairs.

The refugees crowded on the stairs had all gone to the corridors on different floors.

There was no trace of Li Yanping and the others; they had either left or were hiding somewhere.

Some refugees saw Jiang Fei, and although they wanted to go out with her, the thought of Jiang Ziming's miserable state made them abandon the idea.

Being alive was good.

No need to seek death.

Jiang Fei inflated the rubber boat and paddled out through the broken floor-to-ceiling window on the 4th floor.

Ten minutes later.

In a park not far from Yulan Garden, Jiang Fei found Crippled Wang sitting on a speed boat.

Presumably, he hadn't had an easy time recently. Crippled Wang had very dark circles under his eyes, and combined with his skeletal thinness and black raincoat, he looked exactly like a grim reaper.

Several speed boats were parked next to him, with his subordinates holding weapons, to prevent anyone from foolishly trying to snatch things.

Jiang Fei controlled the inflatable boat to approach.

"Boss, this is the 10 kilograms of gold I promised you."

Crippled Wang gestured to his subordinate behind him to place the box on Jiang Fei's inflatable boat, his eyes narrowed into a line as he smiled: "I have a deal. Are you interested?"

"I have a factory in Dongshan District with a lot of inventory, like solar panels, diesel, quilts, grain, and all sorts of miscellaneous supplies, all previously scavenged from wholesale markets, but now it's occupied."

"They plan to move those goods today. I don't know how many people they have, so I don't dare to act rashly."

"I need someone who can silently enter the factory and help me scout the situation. Will you join me?"

"After it's done, you can pick any 10 large boxes of supplies, and I'll also be responsible for safely sending you home."

The boss had knocked out so many of his subordinates before without being discovered, which was enough to prove how strong she was.

Jiang Fei agreed.

Who would complain about having too many supplies?

"You lead the way, and I'll follow behind."

"Alright." Crippled Wang started the speed boat and drove away.

Jiang Fei paddled her inflatable boat at the very back, putting the gold from the box into the Supermarket.

System: [Ding—Detected gold: 10,000 grams.]

[Ding—Congratulations, Host, for successfully unlocking the first area of the Supermarket's 2nd floor [Fresh Produce — Meat Section], the second area requires 32,000 grams of gold to unlock.]

[Currently owned gold: 1,000 grams.]

[Bonus reward: One Lucky Turntable spin. Host, would you like to use it?]

Thanks, but I don't want a duck.

It wasn't convenient to enter the Supermarket now, so Jiang Fei could only check with her mind.

One-fifth of the white fog on the second floor had dissipated, revealing ten extra-long refrigerated display cases.

Inside were fresh meats such as pork, beef, lamb, chicken, goose, rabbit, donkey, and venison.

Each type of meat was further divided into different varieties.

For example, the beef display case included yellow beef, yak beef, Tarim beef, Angus beef, Wagyu beef, etc.

Every cut was available.

She would never have to worry about meat again in this life!

Jiang Fei suppressed the excitement in her heart and mentally told the system, "Use the big turntable."

Even if another duck came, it wouldn't ruin her good mood!

After a strange piece of music ended.

[Ding—Everyone has their own fate, Host, please don't be disappointed. You have obtained "88 Palms."]

Jiang Fei: "?"

What the heck???
