Chapter 93: 93. Mark and Lucy’s Search for Supplies (2)

Mark saw his girlfriend’s exaggerated behavior speechlessly.

He shook his head. "Even if I say ’shouldn’t,’ it didn’t mean that you have to be wary of these gasoline leaking out. They’re put underground, far below the gas station and wrapped in the place that could withstand tremendous weight and pressure.

From what I know, they’re designed not to break even after experiencing harsh earthquake. So the gasoline down there shouldn’t leak out."

"But the pressure from the flood is quite big too, right?"

"Even if it’s big, it doesn’t mean that they will definitely break the safety in these storage room," Mark explained.

Lucy nodded dumbly.

Honestly, in terms of lessons, she was far behind her other friends and needed Mark to help her make up some lessons. Whenever her teacher was teaching, she will feel that he was speaking some magic words that will help her to sleep.

It was only thanks to Mark that she was able to pass the classes in high school.

If not, she was sure that she wouldn’t be able to understand anything.

Mark saw Lucy’s expression and guessed that she was feeling stupid. He shook his head lightly and continued to row the boat.

He had long known that Lucy was not the type who could study.

But he liked her anyway.

That’s all that matters.

Splash! Splash!

Rowing the boat, they made some splashes from time to time. It took them another hour to reach a relatively empty area where there were not many other people around.

"So, which way should we go?" Lucy asked. She was only responsible for rowing while Mark will be the one to determine the direction. After all, Lucy had a relatively bad sense of direction.

She could still memorize it after a few times.

But with the world changing so greatly with the flood all around her... Lucy honestly doubted that she will remember the areas where she was staying.

Right now, they might be on top of a house and didn’t even realize it in the slightest bit because these things were completely drowned.

"Over there." Mark pointed to his right.

"I’m bored." Lucy sighed deeply. "How long will it take before we can reach the so called remote mall?"

"We’re already here." Mark was amused and pointed at the building in front of him. "This mall has only been built and only started operating last October. It’s not very famous and there are not many people who will come here."

Lucy looked at the building in front of her doubtfully. "Why did they build it here, then?"

Those people who build the malls will definitely want to build it in the prime areas where there were a lot of people passing by. This will guarantee their malls having enough visitor and naturally also earned them a lot of revenue.

How come they want to build it in this remote areas?

"...Because he lost a bet." Mark sighed deeply.

Lucy was stupid.

Mark laughed when he saw Lucy’s appearance. "He’s our friend’s older brother. He lost a bet and used the land he bought in this place to build a mall. Originally, he planned to build an apartment and had already made the foundation. Because of that bet, he changed this place to a mall.

The shape is a bit strange because it’s original intention was changed midway. However, there are still a lot of stocks inside for us to take."

"Yes?"

"Only the lower half of the building is used as malls and this eight floor is exactly the food court. Upstairs are the office places. If I’m not wrong, there are also canteen there and we will be able to check whether there are some supplies left," Mark explained clearly to Lucy.

Lucy heard Mark’s words and raised her thumbs. "You’re amazing. Let’s hope our friend’s older brother will not be angry with you taking his things."

"There wouldn’t be many things left here." Mark shook his head. "He had more than 10 malls in the entire country. Do you think he will care for this one?"

Lucy: "..."

The life of the rich was so simple and unpretentious.

But at the same time, Lucy suddenly thought about something. "The storage..."

"Don’t worry, half of his storage areas were located in hills in the city that was far higher than our city." Mark tilted his head. "He might lose a lot, but he should also be able to keep a lot as long as he had enough security placed."

Enough security placed.

When Mark said this, Lucy somehow remembered Anna’s father’s warehouse. The culprit somehow managed to enter and opened the door, causing more and more people to enter and caused a lot of mess.

When asked about the data entry and the surveillance videos, it was found that the number was pitifully small.

Lucy wanted to laugh out loud.

This Mr. Williams was known to be rather stingy. He tried to save money everywhere, including his own security system. The end result was naturally there was not much lead from his own defense system when something happened.

Tsk, tsk, truly the prime textbook example of how saving money will instead cause one to lose more.

And then, Lucy’s thoughts moved to another thing.

"...Do you think those insurance company will be able to pay?"

Mark was silent for a while and shook his head. "I’m sure that they will try to run away first before the customers are able to come and ask for compensation."

With this global incident, they wouldn’t even have enough resource to pay back these people who had been their customers for a long time.

They can pay money.

But these moneys would be worthless and what greeted them would be the angry people who couldn’t really enjoy anything after the insurance company’s people ran away.

Only some people with conscience will truly pay the money.

The rest?

Hehehe.

Tep.

"We’re here, let’s stop talking about it and walk inside."

"I’m also entering?"

"Yes. Bring our boat together."

"Ok."
