"Scaremongering! They say the end of the world every year. I think this is the marketing strategy of merchants, trying to stimulate our consumption!"
"I'm awake upstairs. I think many people said that 2012 would be the end of the world, but now it's 2024, isn't it still fine? People who spread rumors like this should be arrested immediately!"
"It would be great if the end of the world really happens. We all die together. There is no point in living anyway. Tell me before the destruction. At least let me spend all my savings."
"Really or not? What the poster said is very clear and frightening. I'd better hurry up and stock up on food. I don't want to die of thirst and starvation!"
The post was discussed in a lively manner and was quickly posted to the home page of the website.
At this time, Shen Qing suddenly received news that a post had been deleted due to violation of regulations.
She sighed silently and could only say that everyone has their own destiny, so just ask for your own blessings.
After closing the computer, Shen Qing tossed and turned and couldn't fall asleep.
In order not to waste time, she continued to use shopping software to buy daily necessities online.
One hundred quilts, one hundred four-piece sets, fabrics, cottons, military coats, and clothes for all seasons will all come in handy when the time comes.
In this way, we picked and picked until dawn.
Just as he was about to take a nap, the phone rang.
The grain, oil and water ordered yesterday have been delivered to the warehouse door, waiting for her to pay the balance and open the door to unload the goods.
Shen Qing quickly put on her clothes and dragged Shen Zhian to the door of the warehouse without caring about breakfast.
More than a dozen large trucks were parked at the entrance of the warehouse, and a group of unloaders were leaning against the warehouse waiting.
Shen Qing quickly opened the warehouse door, "Master, unload the goods inside."
The moment the final payment was paid, Shen Qing's heart bleeds.
"Zhi'an, you stay here and watch the master unloading the goods today. I'll go purchase other supplies first. Call me after unloading the goods."
It would take at least half a day to unload so many things, and they couldn't both waste their time here.
Shen Zhian made an OK gesture and did not forget to tell her to have breakfast.
In the last days, it was common to be hungry for several days in a row, so skipping breakfast was not painful for her.
Shen Qing came to a large market and wanted to buy some large sealed buckets.
When the time comes, these buckets will be filled up and reserved for domestic water use.
"Boss, do you sell buckets here? How big is the biggest one?"
The boss rummaged through the warehouse for a long time and found a bucket half as tall as a man. "Is it big enough?"
Shen Qing shook his head, "Is there any bigger one?"
The boss frowned, "Isn't this enough? You want a bigger bucket, but we don't have one here. I have a bucket here, not a ton bucket..."
Shen Qing heard her boss mention the word "ton barrel" and quickly took out her mobile phone to search.
Only then did I know that you can buy thickened PE plastic water towers online. The largest capacity water tower can store 50 tons of water.
Their family of four now uses 15 tons of water every month. In the apocalypse, 50 tons of minimal water should be enough for five months...
Without thinking, Shen Qing placed an order for 10 10-ton water towers and filled in the address in the warehouse.
Once we get through the high temperatures and the heavy snowfall starts in December, we can find a way to extract some usable water and store it.
However, this water tower is really expensive, ten of them cost 45,800.
Shen Qing breathed a sigh of relief. The food and drinking water he had stored now were enough for his family of four to live for seventy or eighty years. At least he didn't have to worry about food and drink.
In her previous life, electricity was still supplied intermittently until the zombie outbreak, but this time she was returning to her hometown, and the electricity facilities might not be able to keep up.
Shen Qing found the generator owner and bought four imported diesel generators at a high price.
This kind of generator is smaller, almost silent, and more invisible in the end of the world.
There was no way to buy diesel blatantly, so Shen Qing went to great lengths to find a private gas station that sold diesel secretly.
I tried my best to buy 5 tons of diesel.
Shen Qing let out a breath, the diesel was enough for a while. If you need it again in the future, you will have to find another way.
Immediately afterwards, Shen Qing came to the largest supermarket in the area.
No matter how hard life is, you still have to eat well, and all the seasonings for cooking are indispensable.
One hundred bags each of salt, sugar, chicken essence, and bean paste, which is expected to be enough for fifty years.
20 bottles each of light soy sauce, dark soy sauce, vinegar, cooking wine, glutinous rice wine, rice wine, oyster sauce, pepper oil, chili oil, and sesame oil. These are commonly used seasonings but in small quantities.
The hot pot base is too flavorful and easily attracts others' attention, but if you don't buy some, you'll always worry about being greedy for it later...
After hesitating for a moment, he took fifty bags.
Just these few items have already filled a shopping cart.
"Which area employee are you from? Why don't you wear work clothes?" Just as Shen Qing squatted down to pick up the hot pot base, he suddenly heard a sound above his head.
She raised her head, "What?"
"Sorry...seeing so many items in your shopping cart...I thought you were an employee replenishing the goods." The man next to him smiled awkwardly.
Shen Qing didn't pay attention, and just asked: "Do you have delivery service here? I have a lot of things to buy, and I have to make several trips even if I drive."
The man nodded quickly, "Yes, yes, as long as your purchase exceeds 299 yuan, we will deliver it to your home for free."
Shen Qing looked at the shopping cart and smiled. This item alone cost over a thousand yuan.
"Okay, I'll pick it up first, and I'll put the products I've selected separately in the checkout area at the end."
The man agreed, and then asked curiously, "You bought so many condiments, can you use them all?"
"Company benefits, I also run errands for the company."
The man showed a look of realization, "Then I won't disturb you."
Shen Qing placed the filled shopping cart in the corner, said hello to the cashier and continued to select.
In addition to seasonings, you also need to prepare some wild products and grains.
After all, the human body needs a variety of nutrients. If the intake of certain types is insufficient, some terrible diseases will occur.
In the last days, medical resources are in short supply.
Oats, millet, dried fungus, fungi, and seaweed were all stuffed into the shopping cart as if they were free of charge.
After sweeping through the dry goods area, Shen Qing went straight to the snack area.
She didn't miss every shelf, every type of biscuit and bread, and put them in the shopping cart without even looking at them.
The more of these things the better.
In the blink of an eye she had filled more than a dozen shopping carts, when the phone rang.
"Sister, the warehouse has finished unloading the goods. Where are you? Do you want me to pick you up?"
Shen Qing glanced at the shopping carts that were almost piled up and said, "No, I'll be back now."
She walked to the checkout counter and found the supermarket manager who had just spoken to her.
"Hello, I have something urgent now. Can you help me arrange delivery of these items to this address?" Shen Qing wrote the warehouse address on the note and handed it to him. "After calculating the price, give me the receipt. I There’s no time to wait here now.”
