Natural Disasters Strikes: I stockpiled like crazy! novel Chapter 54

Late in the morning, the married couple living in Unit 2101 had just finished their preparation for their trip to the military base, the closest settlement.

The moment Auntie Yang opened the door, she saw a box on her door and there was a note on top that says ’It’s for the kitchen knife’.

She immediately knew who it was from. The box was very heavy.

She looked at the direction of the 2103, knocked, but no one answered for fifteen minutes.

Nanzhi was tactful and she always answers the door. Auntie Yang knew that she probably left.

Her husband asked her what she doing. Auntie Yang showed him the box. The two opened it and found it had a medicine kit, compass, bottles of water, fire starter, MREs, and etc.

(MRE- Military Ready-to-Eat Meals.)

But what Auntie Yang’s husband liked the most was the folded detailed drawn map that shows the available routes to the military bases. It also contained notes like—landslide or bridge collapse and the likes.

Auntie Yang’s husband was amazed.

It turns out she doesn’t need their help at all.

How did she know these things?!

….

Nanzhi’s destination is in the opposite direction of military base. The tourist hotel was near Qianhe Mountain.

To get there, she needs to pass by the airport, a lake and several villages.

Nanzhi chose the routes which had a bank and jewellery shops.

But what she was after the most was the inventory of the Jade Dragon. One of their subsidiary company is in the city proper. After this mission, she will check that place.

She tried to find jades in the villas outside the community and the only thing she found was a safe stuck under the rubbles of a collapse wall. It was full of diamond jewelleries and cash.

It was wasted trip.

Nanzhi didn’t attempt to search the other villas.

In every 50 meters, two to three dead bodies or severed parts of dead human bodies along with the animal carcasses could be seen.

She was in the villa compound outside the suburban community, there were survivors here too and mostly searching in the debris for some food but they gave up once they saw none.

They saw Nanzhi but once they saw the bolo hanging on her waist, they avoided her.

Nanzhi used the sharp end of the long harpoon to hook the torn tarpaulins, canvas tent, or anything to cover the dead bodies.

While the chances of contracting airborne diseases from exposed corpses is very low, if left to rot, it will become a breeding ground for rodents and wild animals which will let them develops rabies.

She could already spot flies gathering in the large numbers above a carcass of dog five meters ahead.

She took out a can spray of pesticide and killed the flies but more came and she eventually got exhausted.

When she reached the highway, it was already the middle of the day, the sun was at its highest, the hottest time. The temperature had risen to 39 degree celcius.

Sweat dribbled from Nanzhi’s scalp to her neck.

Looking for a place to stop, she saw a three-story building and a gas station, nobody was around.
