Chapter 1056: Chapter 1038 Water Outage Chapter 1056: Chapter 1038 Water Outage There were grains and flour available, but cooking now was highly impractical.
The most realistic option was indeed these items Tang Yuxin had bought.
Tang Yuxin had stocked up a pile of snacks for the household.
Over three days, she had bought a good amount of biscuits and bread, as well as ham sausages, instant noodles, and also several bundles of water.
Water wasn’t an issue, as they still had over a dozen large barrels of purified water, which would last them a long time.
Besides, it was pouring outside, so even if the water supply stopped, they could still use rainwater.
They didn’t need to worry about food either, after all, these supplies weren’t gathered for nothing.
“I’ll cook noodles for you,” Gu Ning said.
He took two boxes of instant noodles and went straight into the kitchen, while Tang Yuxin hugged her quilt, still shaking with residual fear.
Seeing something happen was one thing, but experiencing it was another.
Without having lived through it, one could never truly understand that such peril could indeed cost lives.
She hugged her quilt and trembled, truly frightened.
She had never experienced an earthquake before, this kind of natural disaster that could destroy everything in an instant.
As for Gu Ning, he had already entered the kitchen, where numerous dishes and bowls had shattered.

He didn’t have time to deal with them and decided to wait until things were more stable.
He turned on the gas stove; although there was no electricity, boiling water was still possible.
It was a good thing they had chosen liquefied gas, which they had switched to when they decided to cook at home.
They had planned to send it back after returning to the city, but now, it was invaluable.
With over a dozen barrels of water and the gas, they wouldn’t have problems with food and drink,
Actually, Gu Ning had thought of many problems.
Although he didn’t know what the situation outside was like, he understood that it was quite disadvantageous for them.
The local geography added to the difficulties of search and rescue, and in such an extreme environment, all they could do was save themselves.
It was fortunate that Tang Yuxin had bought a bunch of stuff; otherwise, they might have really struggled this time.
He turned on the tap, but after twisting it for a while, nothing came out.
Indeed, the water was cut off.
He couldn’t help but sigh.
He knew it would be cut off, just not so soon that even boiling a pot of noodles wouldn’t be possible.
The rain continued to pour outside, heavily.
Truth be told, Tang Yuxin wouldn’t mind eating noodles boiled in rainwater right now, considering she had eaten snow-boiled noodles with them before.
Gu Ning decided to make the best of a bad situation.
It wasn’t that bad after all.
He set the pot down and brought in a large barrel of purified water from outside.
It was good they had it, and that they had been delivered in excess, about fifteen or sixteen barrels.
He had joked with Tang Yuxin that there was enough for her to take showers, but now, it seemed they couldn’t spare it for that purpose.
He poured water into the pot and boiled a pot of noodles.
The vegetables in the refrigerator needed to be eaten soon, or they would spoil, as the fridge was out of commission, which was a real hassle.
There was nothing they could do right now except safely get through this period and wait for the rescue team to come for them.
He believed that no matter how adverse the conditions were, someone would come to rescue them; it was just a matter of how long it would take.
Now, they had to conserve their energy for self-rescue in this uninhabited place.
Gu Ning served the noodles, and both he and Tang Yuxin ate the entire pot.
Even though they had already had lunch, they still felt very hungry.
Even just ordinary instant noodles tasted exceptionally good to them.
They made sure to finish their bowls to avoid wasting water, and Gu Ning took the pot outside to wash it.
It continued to rain, quickly forming a little stream on the ground, the rainwater flowing outwards, eventually joining the sea.
Although the rain was heavy, the sea was still calm.
Perhaps this was nature’s greatest act of mercy towards them.
Otherwise, if a tsunami were added to the mix, who knows how many in Yun City would perish?
“Did you eat enough?” Gu Ning touched Tang Yuxin’s forehead.
She had a fever just yesterday and got drenched today; he worried whether she would be alright.
Though she was a doctor with strong resistance to illness, it should not be forgotten that she was still just a person, a normal human being.
She could feel pain, be scared, fall ill, and get hurt.
Tang Yuxin shook her head, clutching the quilt and looking somewhat foolishly outside.
Their location was indeed peaceful.
The clear roof above shielded them from all the rain, providing them with a warm and clean space, and of course, safety.
“I’ll get some things.”
Gu Ning stood up, ready to go back and grab his laptop.
He still didn’t know what the situation outside was like, and since they couldn’t go out, could they still access the internet here?
Tang Yuxin suddenly clutched the hem of his clothes.
“It’s okay,” Gu Ning released her hand, “I’m just getting something.
I’ll be right back.”
After speaking, he patted Tang Yuxin’s hand reassuringly before walking inside the house.
Tang Yuxin slowly withdrew her hand, telling herself that everything was fine, yes, it was fine, nothing would happen.
The biggest quake had passed, and all that remained were aftershocks.
There wasn’t much to worry about, and even if there was another shake, it didn’t matter.

The house they were in couldn’t be any safer.
She sat up, still tightly gripping the quilt, yet unable to calm her heart.
Just then, it seemed as if the entire house began to shake again.
“Gu Ning!”
Tang Yuxin suddenly stood up and, without a thought, ran into the house.
At that moment, the whole house shook violently, nearly destabilizing them.
They could hear the sound of things crashing down and breaking, including the sound of dishes smashing to the floor in the kitchen.
Tang Yuxin quickly braced herself against a wall, but the entire earth trembled, making it difficult for her to stand.
Just as she was about to fall, a hand reached out and steadied her, preventing her from hitting the ground and rolling around.
If she had really fallen, the shattered pieces on the ground would have certainly made her bleed.
“Gu Ning,” said Tang Yuxin, eyes brimming with tears at the sight of him, relieved that he was alright.
Yes, thankfully he was okay.
If something had happened to him, how could she carry on living?
