On the other side, Lei Qian was staring at the black sky with a gloomy look on his face. He couldn’t help but recall the warning that Bai Meiyue had given to him and his worries started to increase even more. Was there something wrong? Was something going to happen? And did Bai Meiyue know something?
He had a lot of questions that he wanted to ask but as Lei Qian raised his phone, he realised that he had no chance to contact Bai Meiyue. He had no idea what was going on in Cloud City, but the second he entered the boundaries of this land, the network was cut off, making it impossible for him to contact anyone.
In fact, if not for the fact that he was from the Lei family, Lei Qian was certain that he wouldn’t have been able to enter the city at all. As the security around this city had suddenly strengthened! He knew that something was wrong but Lei Qian couldn’t put his finger on it.
’Never mind, I will just have to wait until I can see Yueyue again,’ thought Lei Qian.
"Master Lei, we have brought the rations that you asked us to."
Lei Qian had taken Bai Meiyue’s last message seriously when she had asked him to stock up on resources. Thus, he had asked his assistant to buy as much food as possible and he had done the same thing at the cloud city as well.

Lei Qian looked at the pitiful amount of rations that the two bodyguards had brought and frowned. He asked, "Is this all?"
"This is all we could find, Master Lei," replied one of the bodyguards uneasily.
When Lei Qian heard the response of the two guards, his expression turned grim. Though the rain had been continuing for more than two weeks, he didn’t think that the situation would turn dire in just a matter of a few weeks!
While he was worrying about his next step, a plump girl came to stop next to him and said to Lei Qian, "There is no need to worry, Brother. This is just a matter of a few days. Once the rain stops, everything will go back to normal."
Lei Yan didn’t take this rain seriously. After all, even though the rain was going on a bit longer, other than the city flooding, what could be the worst-case scenario? They had enough ration to survive flooding.
"It will be better if you do not speak," Lei Qian snapped as he glared at his sister. "I told you to stay quietly at home but no! You just had to come here and cause trouble for me and you even dragged our parents! Lei Yan, how long are you going to be so immature? Can you listen to me for once? Now because of your selfish actions, we are all trapped in this city for days."
"Just because I am here to help you out, you shouldn’t be so lax! Have you thought about what if this city gets flooded? What will we do then? Do you think we can survive on this little ration?"
Lei Yan lowered her head guiltily. After all, she had indeed acted a bit rashly by going against her brother. Even though her brother told her to not go anywhere, she did not listen to him and dragged her parents to play. Now that she was caught in trouble, she couldn’t do anything and could only wait for her brother to come and rescue her.
