After the two of them finished catching up on their sleep, it was already past noon when they woke up, and the heavy rain outside had not stopped yet.

Jiang Wei and Fang Mo got some food and ate it, and then they found that they were both pulled into a group. The group was full of residents of the community, and the group owner was a community manager.

[Community Manager: Dear residents, due to the heavy rain, some residents on floors 1 to 3 were unfortunately killed yesterday, and some managed to escape but lost their homes. Out of humanitarian concern, these residents will be accommodated in unoccupied rooms on floors 7 to 10. Please help us through this difficult time.]

[Thank you, everyone. Thank you, everyone.]

[It’s okay. Natural disasters are cruel, but people are kind. We all help each other.]

Yes, help each other.

……

Jiang Wei can see that in the early stages of the flood, everyone is still helping each other, and some people even provide some material assistance and donations to the suffering residents. When the situation is not critical to a certain point, most people are still kind.

"It's so tragic, Weiwei. I heard that almost no residents on the first floor managed to escape yesterday. The rest of them only brought one person out. All their money and belongings are soaked in water. Luckily, we live on the 1th floor, so it shouldn't be flooded." Fang Mo said.

"That's right, but we also have to pay attention to the situation outside at all times. If the situation is not right, we must take shelter in time even if we live on the 13th floor." Jiang Wei replied.

"Ah, we are on the 13th floor, it shouldn't be that serious. I feel this disaster will only be short-lived and will be over in a moment." Fang Mo replied anxiously.

Jiang Wei just smiled. If it was really just a short-term disaster, would the system allow players to enter?

But it hasn't happened yet, and all we have to do now is wait patiently.

In the following days, everyone stayed at home, and the authorities also called on everyone not to go out unless necessary. Schools began to suspend classes and switch to online classes. Many companies began to suspend operations. The world seemed to suddenly become quiet, and everyone hid in their own little homes.

Today is the 16th day of the flood world. Four days have passed since the rainstorm that night. In the past few days, the water level has gradually risen to the 6th floor. Fortunately, the previous residents have learned their lesson and ran upstairs with their belongings. The empty rooms on the high floors are already full. Some people asked in the group whether some family could take them in for a few days, but although they could give some things out of kindness, no one was willing to take the people home directly. In the end, those few families either had to squeeze with others or stay in the public corridor.

In the past few days, people in the community have stayed at home and lived on stored food. Most people have some food at home, but some residents are young people who come here to work alone like Jiang Wei and others. They seldom cook at home and only have some snacks and fruits at home. There are also some families who don’t like to stock up things, and those who lost their homes due to sudden floods are almost out of food. In the end, some people couldn’t stand it anymore and directly asked people in the group to go out to buy things.

[Wang Dong: Hello everyone, I bought a kayak at home a while ago, and now I plan to go out to buy some things. I am running out of food at home. If anyone has a kayak at home or wants to go out with me, please come with me.]

[Chen Mo: Brother Wang, please take me with you. I want to go too.]

[Any: I have a kayak at home, so I'll go too]

Count me in

[+1]

Jiang Wei took a look and roughly estimated that there were about twenty people who were going out. It seemed that everyone was really starting to run out of food.

What I didn’t expect was that so many people went to the supermarket only to find that the supermarket had started to limit purchases.

Jiang Wei saw the video sent by Wang Dong in the group, which showed that the supermarket was now completely taken over by military personnel, and there were soldiers armed with live ammunition standing everywhere at the entrance and the checkout counter.

[Wang Dong: The authorities said that supermarkets have started to limit purchases. Each person can only buy certain foods, but the authorities will send personnel to distribute the supplies later.]

Jiang Wei and other tenants also received an official push notification, "Due to the floods caused by heavy rains, farmland was destroyed and a lot of food was soaked in water. In order to prevent people from maliciously hoarding food, all major supermarkets are now under unified control. Each store is limited to purchase according to ID cards. Citizens can also wait at home. Personnel will be assigned to each community, and residents will register to purchase at that time. ]

"Fortunately, the authorities have finally arrived. Everything should be fine. I just need to stay at home and wait for them to come." Fang Mo breathed a sigh of relief.

The authorities responded very quickly. By the evening, a ship carrying supplies had arrived near the community and distributed them to each floor of the building.

The group began to notify residents to come down to distribute supplies.

[Social management: The supplies are now on the 7th floor. Everyone, bring your ID and wallet. Purchases are limited and distributed based on the number of people. If you have elderly or children at home and it is inconvenient, bring your ID. If your children do not have IDs, bring their household registration books.]

The building where Jiang Wei lives has a total of 15 floors, and Jiang Wei is on the 13th floor. Now the elevator has stopped working, so she can only take the stairs, but fortunately she is on the 7th floor, otherwise she would have to walk even farther.

Jiang Wei and Fang Mo took their ID cards and backpacks and walked downstairs. When they reached the 7th floor, there were already quite a few people there, including community workers and several volunteers guarding the pile of supplies.

Jiang Wei took a look and saw rice, flour, some green leafy vegetables and other vegetables packed in portions, and mineral water, and nothing else.

The volunteers were talking loudly to maintain order. "Everyone listen to me. The things are already here. Now we will distribute them. Each adult will get one pound of rice, one pound of flour, one vegetable and two bottles of mineral water. The amount for people over 65 and children will be half of that."

"What? That's all. It's not like you don't have money. Just give me more."

"That's right. Although this is enough for the whole family, the water is so rough, so I'd better buy some more to keep at home for peace of mind."

"Hey, I'm the only one in my house and I can only take so much."

"Why should the elderly eat half as much? Can't they eat a lot?"

When everyone heard about the purchase limit, they started to argue. After all, at a time like this, having food in hand would keep them from panicking. Jiang Wei and Fang Mo did not express any opinions. After all, there was still a lot of food at home. They just watched these people quarreling in silence.

However, this was an official regulation after all and everyone had no choice but to accept it. Jiang Wei and Fang Mo directly took their shares, paid the money and left. However, Jiang Wei began to worry about something now. She had spent most of her money when she stocked up before and now she only had one or two hundred yuan left. If the money was still distributed like this in the future, she would not be able to take out the money. Fortunately, she was not short of food, so the worst that could happen was that she would live off her savings.

After returning home, the two put everything in place and opened the vegetable bag. Inside was a handful of greens, two potatoes, two tomatoes, and two sweet potatoes, nothing else. These were all available on Jiang Wei's farm, but this was also a good intention of the official to give everyone some vitamins.

The days that followed gradually calmed down, and everyone stayed at home waiting for the government to deliver supplies.
