The Beginning of Natural Disaster, I Won by Hoarding Tens of Billions of Supplies

Chapter 297: Laughed Happily

Mrs. Chen repeatedly refused to give face to the old man, Rong Sanshao couldn’t stand her stinky behavior. He said in a sarcastic tone, “What era is it? Gender equality has long been advocated, and women can also contribute just as much!” 

This statement… many people present… ahem, although the words were a bit rough, but now it’s the end of the world, each family finds it difficult even to clean up their own mess, let alone have the spare energy to help others. 

Mrs. Chen cried bitterly, but no one at the scene sympathized with her. They didn’t even know if they could protect their own lives. 

The minority yields to the majority, and most of the homeowners had no objections. 

There are still 44 households in the neighborhood, a total of 44 people can be selected, divided into two shifts of 22 people each, patrolling continuously for 24 hours, with every household’s light bulb lit in front of their doors. 

In addition, each household is temporarily responsible for cleaning up the corpses in front and behind their own houses, gathering them all together and burning them with gasoline. The relatively relaxed homeowners form teams to take care of the few households that have been wiped out. 

Even the rich have someone to wipe their butts after using the toilet. When have they ever done such hard labor? 

They had opinions in their hearts, but they didn’t dare to voice them out. 

The Rong family has the greatest influence in the neighborhood, so they have to rely on them for future safety. 

But faced with blood everywhere and horrifying corpses, everyone couldn’t even keep their dinner down. 

Huo Yishen and Jiang Ning didn’t act coy. Their tasks were very heavy, after all, most of the deaths occurred near Building 50. 

Back home, they put on their protective suits and went out to work. 

They didn’t slack off either, dragging and pulling along. 

Building 49 also suffered some impact, which was conveniently resolved by Building 50, so Qin Chuan joined the cleanup work. 

Qin Mu was scared, but seeing Doudou also participating, he gathered his courage and said, “Dad, I’ll join too.” 

The brat was almost 11 years old, he couldn’t always be sheltered like a delicate flower. It was time for him to exercise and grow up. “Hmm, be careful.” 

There were too many dead people, it was really difficult to transport them to the incineration point, so they were directly dealt with on-site, all carried to an open lawn area and set on fire with gasoline. 

They burned for several hours until there was nothing left. 

They dug a pit and buried the ashes in it. 

Ashes to ashes, dust to dust, may there be no end of the world in the next life. 

Building 49 only had Qin Chuan as an adult, he had to participate in the patrol work, so he had to ask for help from Building 50 to take care of the kids. 

In times of disaster, Jiang Ning didn’t refuse, fearing that Qin Mu would be scared staying alone on the first floor, so she let the dog stay with him. 

If it weren’t for the patrol duty, they wouldn’t have known that Qin Chuan was also equipped with armor, bulletproof vest, helmet, pistol, stun baton, even his shoes had sharp tips with strong killing power. 

Jiang Ning almost laughed. “Be safe.” 

Since Huo Yishen had patrol duty, the family decided to sync their biological clocks with his schedule. 

So, Jiang Ning read books and exercised, Doudou taught Qin Mu martial arts, and the dog sneaked out to accompany the training instructor on duty. 

Seeing the imposing elder brother, even the Tibetan mastiff Ah Ben came out to join the fun. 

Unexpectedly, they were stopped by the old boss. “Now, only two dogs in the neighborhood can be useful. Ah Ben, you’ll be assigned to another patrol shift.” 

Rong Sanshao was somewhat disappointed. Why hadn’t Sister Jiang come? 

The boss pushed his golden-rimmed glasses. “Still saying you’re not interested in her?” 

Rong Sanshao touched his sore spot. “Cousin, aren’t you missing Yu Tong?” 

The boss’s sadness surged like a river. “I stay alive just to find Yu Tong.” 

Rong Sanshao’s hair stood on end. “Then you better stay alive.” 

Who knows, maybe one day a typhoon will blow Yu Tong back. 

Unfortunately, the mental hospital was closed, otherwise, they could have let the boss stay there for a while. 

Just after finishing training, Jiang Ning, drenched in sweat, was about to drink water when a voice came from outside the door, “Jiang Ning, Jiang Ning.” 

It was a woman’s voice, and it sounded somewhat familiar. 

Jiang Ning didn’t want to respond, but the other party seemed persistent, calling out over and over again. 

Putting on her military coat, she opened the door. “Mrs. Chen, what brings you here?” 

Mrs. Chen looked at her, unable to hide the sadness in her eyes. “Anning, actually, I… I’ve visited you at the orphanage.” 

Jiang Ning’s expression remained calm. “To ease your own conscience?” 

Mrs. Chen choked up. “I’m sorry, it’s me, your mother…” 

“Shut up!” Jiang Ning interrupted her coldly. “Don’t insult those two words.” 

“I’m sorry, I really had no choice at the time, but if there was…” 

“Since you’ve visited the orphanage, you should know how I grew up, and what made you think I longed for family affection?” 

Jiang Ning showed no mercy and rip away her facade. “You only had me because your health was bad, and if you had a miscarriage, you might not have been able to marry into a rich family.” 

“You’re seeking me out now. Is it just because your husband passed away, and being a widow with a child, you can’t bear to be alone and need someone to lean on? Mrs. Chen, don’t you feel pathetic?” 

“I’m just an unwanted abandoned baby who managed to survive, and you, a living person, want to be a parasite? What gives you the confidence to think I would willingly let you suck my blood? Using the so-called family bond? Huh, to me, it’s worth less than dog poop. I’ve never felt fortunate to be born into this world. If you had aborted me back then, I might have had some respect for you. Now all I want to say to you is, go as far away as possible and don’t dirty my sight!” 

Without feelings, how can there be forgiveness! 

If she truly valued the rare family affection, she wouldn’t have casually given the jade pendant to Yang Weicong. 

Every time she saw it, she would remember that she was abandoned. 

Having suffered too much, how could she have any affection for the so-called family who left her behind? 

She was cheerful for a while, but it brought her endless mental torment. 

After enduring so much torment, her state of mind gradually became indifferent. Neither hating nor loving was already her limit. 

Seeing Mrs. Chen, Jiang Ning finally confirmed that the jade pendant wasn’t hers, but most likely belonged to the man who had likely impregnated her. 

Having experienced the apocalypse with her two lives and witnessing too much darkness in human nature, even those close to her could resort to cannibalism. What feelings could she possibly have? 

Her deception wasn’t done well, just treating others like fools. 

Mrs. Chen was left red-faced and embarrassed by Jiang Ning’s words, wishing she could dig a hole and hide. 

But she hadn’t forgotten why she came. Tears welled up, and she couldn’t stop them. “Anning, it’s not what you think. Please, let me explain…” 

“Sorry, I haven’t believed in tears since I was three.” 

With that, she slammed the door shut, leaving Mrs. Chen to explain in the piercing cold. Meanwhile, Jiang Ning went upstairs to soak in the hot spring, humming a tune. 

After finishing duty, Qin Chuan carried his sleeping son home. 

Jiang Ning prepared hot soup, quickly had Huo Yishen and the dog have a bowl, and then hurried to take a bath to dispel bad luck. 

When she came out, she served up steaming hot dishes. 

Jiang Ning asked with concern, “How was the duty?” 

The tasks of the first team were heavy, with half of them patrolling and the other half cleaning the deserted villas, collecting the scattered supplies looted by the rioters, “All the found items and medicine were confiscated and used to bandage the injured.” 

They were all wealthy or second-generation kids who had never worked. Without the men in their families, they could only rely on their rich wives. What could they do while crying and patrolling in high heels? 

A bunch of pampered masters suddenly lost their backbone, sinking into sadness was understandable, it just depended on whether they could come out of it. 

Otherwise, they would eventually become a disaster or a drag on others
