Apocalypse: After Being Reborn, I Stocked Up on All Supplies

Chapter 99: Chapter 99 Wow, Vegetable Seeds!

Jiang Yan stopped at the corner of the staircase and didn’t continue upwards.

The narrow path that the crowd made for her was very tight.

It would be enough for someone to suddenly draw a knife and stab her in the back, turning her into a human hedgehog instantly.

“Good dogs don’t block the path,” Jiang Yan coldly glared at the crowd and said unhurriedly.

The group exchanged glances for a second, angered yet unable to speak, and squeezed to the sides of the corridor.

Seeing this, Jiang Yan stopped talking and instead put down the rubber boat on the ground and took off her backpack.

“Maybe we should go back, it’s about time for us to fish,” someone who saw her unzipping the backpack, mistaking it for reaching for a gun, said in panic.

Another person hurriedly added, “Oh right! It’s so dark in the stairwell, I almost forgot about the time.”

“What about Old Zhang’s body?”

“What else can be done, just leave it there!”

“…”

People in the crowd gave each other an escape route and began moving their legs.

Jiang Yan paused her finger on the zipper, stood up, and watched the people file past her down the stairs.

Ye Qing followed a few people down, stretched out his hand to lift her rubber boat, and said, “I’ll help you.”

“Thank you.” Jiang Yan wasn’t pretentious and stepped up the stairs.

“Jiang Yan, you haven’t been back these past few days, I thought you—” Su Dai caught Jiang Yan’s hand, near tears with relief.

Jiang Yan smiled ambiguously, her lips curling up.

Sun Jingtao looked at his wife and said, “Jiang Yan must be tired carrying the rubber boat up here; let’s not stand here talking, why don’t we go to our place?”

“Ah, right, I have something for you,” said Su Dai, pulling Jiang Yan toward her home.

“Okay.” Jiang Yan also wanted to ask about the situation with the official boats, so she didn’t refuse Su Dai’s invitation.

“Yesterday, the official boats came and distributed some supplies to every household. One box of instant noodles per person, two bags of Sausage. We collected yours, thinking of giving it to you when you returned.

Also, we found some alcohol and an alcohol stove this time, just right to give you one so you can eat something warm. And other miscellaneous things, we’ll also share some with you,” Su Dai explained enthusiastically.

After all, in her view, Jiang Yan only carried a backpack and probably hadn’t found much.

Meanwhile, Ye Qing had already carried Jiang Yan’s rubber boat to her home’s doorway, “Jiang Yan, I’ve left your rubber boat at your doorway.”

He set the rubber boat on the ground and strode towards the three of them.

“Why don’t you take the rubber boat and bag inside first? We’ll wait here,” Su Dai quickly said.

The three of them were very sensitive to personal boundaries and had no intention of suggesting they go inside Jiang Yan’s house.

“Alright, just give me a moment,” Jiang Yan said, quickly turning to take the rubber boat and backpack inside.

When she came out, she was holding a red plastic bag.

“Su Dai, here,” Jiang Yan handed the bag to Su Dai.

“What’s this?” Su Dai opened it with a puzzled expression, then exclaimed in surprise,

“Are these cabbage seeds?! My! And gourd seeds too! Goodness! Jiang Yan, where did you find these? This is amazing!”

Jiang Yan hearkened back, “Just lucky, I went to a building with an e-commerce company and found a few bags of vegetable seeds. There were two bags each of cabbage and gourd seeds, so I shared half with you.”

She had only brought one backpack’s worth of supplies, so she couldn’t carry much else.

But these seeds didn’t take up much space.

She had earlier seen Su Dai bring a flowerpot up from downstairs.

These seeds had endured high temperatures, so their germination rate might be quite low.

But now they had water, and cabbage was easy to grow, so it was likely possible to cultivate them.

Only, without much sunlight and with low temperatures, the vegetables would grow slowly, requiring some time.

The door opened, and Sun Jingtao, who was mid-action, turned and laughed, “Look at that, you two really are in sync!”

Jiang Yan looked puzzled at the couple, “?”

“Come inside, and you’ll understand!” Su Dai bit her lip and pulled Jiang Yan into the house, then sheepishly chuckled, “It’s just a bit messy at home.”

“It’s the same for everyone, it’s normal,” Jiang Yan chuckled.

Su Dai’s house layout was identical to hers.

At that moment, the rain outside intensified, and the sky darkened substantially.

But due to the large floor-to-ceiling windows, the light inside was passably decent.

Jiang Yan glanced around and saw that the spacious living room was filled with various items.

Food, clothing, utilities—all were there.

Most of the packaging was damaged, and some items were damp, probably salvaged from the water and not yet dried.

It seemed that their trip outside had been quite fruitful.

Near the floor-to-ceiling windows, many differently shaped flowerpots were arranged, along with a cluster of water containers made from mineral water bottles.

“Wow! You’ve really grown a lot!” Jiang Yan said, surprised and walking quickly toward the balcony.

Some green sprouts were budding in the flowerpots, their identities unknown.

In the mineral water bottles, there were green onions and scallions.

“When I was pregnant, my mother-in-law came to stay with us for a while. She was used to gardening back in her hometown and brought some seeds with her.

She said if we ever encountered a period like the mask shortage again, we could grow some vegetables in pots in the city to be self-sufficient. Unexpectedly, it actually came into use.

Now, with the seeds you’ve given, we can last quite a while!” Su Dai said and pulled Jiang Yan to sit on the sofa in the corner.

Sun Jingtao dug through a pile of supplies, found a bottle of mineral water, and handed it to Jiang Yan.

Jiang Yan said, “Thank you,” and took it.

Mineral water was quite scarce for them.

Though there was rainwater outside, it tasted much more bitter.

She didn’t drink it, but put it down and looked at Su Dai, “By the way, why aren’t you guys fishing downstairs?”

“We caught some fish with the Fish Shooting Gun you gave us the day before yesterday. Today, there were too many people downstairs, making it difficult to fish. Plus, the water is too deep, and they don’t dare to go too far, everyone is crowded near the residential complex, more people than fish.

Moreover, most of them are several families working together to fish, it’s too cold, so they take turns going into the water and then share the catch evenly.”

Jiang Yan uttered, “Oh,” then added, “By the way, is the official boat coming tomorrow to pick people up?”

“Yes,” Su Dai nodded.

“But why does it seem like everyone hasn’t relaxed? Those people earlier…” Jiang Yan hesitated.

Logically, if the official boat could come to pick up people the next day, people should be more relaxed and stay at home today.

But not only were people busy fishing outside, but there were also those coming door-to-door to rob supplies, which was indeed puzzling.

Hearing Jiang Yan’s words, Su Dai sighed silently,

“Jiang Yan, you might not know, but the official boat only picks up people under certain conditions.”
