Picking up the badge, the portable heater, and the ropes, Yao Ran glanced at the message once more before leaving. Returning to the 20th floor, she went to find Long Yu.

"Yao Yuechuan had escaped, but he left a message. He said he would come to find me again after dealing with Gao Shuwei." Yao Ran said as she walked into his apartment.

Long Yu, noticing her calm demeanor, asked, "Do you want me to find him?"

Yao Ran shook her head and said, "There's no need to do that. Since he said he'll come to find me, we'll just wait."

Seeing that she wasn't too concerned about Yao Yuechuan, Long Yu nodded and said, "Let's eat together."

"What do you want to eat today?" Yao Ran asked, heading to the bedroom.

Long Yu followed and replied, "Let's have something hot today."

After some discussion, they decided on spicy beef noodles. After breakfast, they began their daily training.

Since the military took over the Ling Yuan apartment complex, Yao Ran and her friend have stayed home and practiced every day. With Long Yu as her trainer, Yao Ran's combat abilities improved rapidly.

In addition to combat skills and physical strength, Yao Ran and Long Yu also practiced their special abilities daily. With Yao Ran's lake water, both finally broke through to the first level.

Time flew by, and fifteen days passed in the blink of an eye. Just as Yao Ran and Long Yu finished their daily training, Quan Yuanwei came to visit the 20th floor.

Looking at his smiling face, Huang Qian asked, "Brother Quan, you're in a good mood. Do you have good news for us?"

Quan Yuanwei nodded and replied, "Yes. The government just announced there will be extra relief supplies. We can go to the nearby neighborhood committee center with our ID cards to collect them today."

Hearing this, Shi Xuan asked, "Why are they suddenly giving out extra supplies? Did the government get some supplies from somewhere?"

Quan Yuanwei lowered his voice and said, "I heard from my elder brother and sister-in-law that the government successfully modified some plants to grow in extreme cold."

"Both of them work in the plantation area, so they got the news from an insider. But until now, the government only hired people to work in greenhouses, so my elder brother didn't know if this news was reliable or not."

When Yao Ran and Long Yu heard this, they exchanged glances. In their previous lives, there were no cold-resistant plants until the plant's mutation. It was shocking that the government could research and develop these plants in less than two months.

Getting curious, Yao Ran asked, "Brother Quan, do you know when the government started researching these cold-resistant plants?"

Quan Yuanwei thought for a moment and replied, "I'm not sure, but it should be from five months ago."

As soon as he said that, Yao Ran's eyes flickered. She exchanged looks with Long Yu and saw the same suspicion in his deep eyes.

Lowering her gaze, Yao Ran thought, 'Could there be another reborn person like us?'

While she was thinking, Quan Yuanwei said, "I'm going today with A Yun and Brother Hao. How about we go together?"

Since the soldiers took over the Ling Yuan apartment complex, there had been no more gangsters in the area, and robbery cases had ceased.

However, to get to the neighborhood committee center, they would need to pass through a few residential areas. It was better to go together for safety.

Long Yu nodded. "Alright."

After he agreed, Yao Ran asked, "Brother Quan, do you know what kind of supplies the government is distributing today?"

Quan Yuanwei shook his head and said, "I don't know. My elder brother only mentioned the cold-resistance plants, but he didn't know anything about the relief supplies."

"Is it possible for the government to distribute them to the public? Can those plants be replanted or used as seeds?" Yao asked again.

Shi Xuan looked at her and asked, "Do you want to replant those cold-resistant plants?"

Yao Ran nodded, "Yes. The production lines have been shut down for more than three months since the typhoon hit Juncheng City, and supplies are getting less by the day. If we can replant the cold-resistant plants, we can be self-sufficient."

Hearing her explanation, everyone looked at each other. They can both see hope and uncertainty in each other's eyes.

Long Yu pondered for a moment and said, "Since we don't know if the government will distribute the plants today, we should bring some supplies with us. If they give us some seeds, we can go directly to the trading center to get the necessary items for planting."

The others agreed, and then Quan Yuanwei said, "Then I will go back and get ready first." After Quan Yuanwei left, Yao Ran and her friends returned home. They packed some supplies, grabbed their weapons, and went downstairs. When they reached the 19th floor, Quan Yuanwei, Sima Yun, Sima Hao, and Ruan Ying were already waiting for them.

Seeing they were ready, Long Yu said, "Let's go."

Eleven people left the Ling Yuan apartment complex, carrying their backpacks and weapons.

The other residents, seeing them leave, cast covert glances toward Building 3. It was rare for only the elderly and children to remain at home. If not for the soldiers patrolling the area, some might have taken the opportunity to rob the supplies hidden on the 19th and 20th floors. Upon arriving at the neighborhood committee, Yao Ran noticed that, unlike their last visit, ten tents had been set up.

Two soldiers guarded each tent, and two staff members distributed supplies while registering names. Many soldiers patrolled the area and dealt with the troublemakers.

With ten lines opened for the citizens, the distribution process was much faster than before. Soon, it was Yao Ran's turn.

She handed her ID card to the staff, and another staff member gave her a package. After the first staff member registered her name and ID number, they said, "Next, please."
