Chapter 184: "Mouth Purchase" Stocking Up

The maximum speed of the suspended car is only one-fourth of that of the high-altitude airship, but even so, they only took half an hour to reach the villa at the edge of the city.

If they took ground transportation, it would take at least two hours to drive this distance.

The suspended car passed through half of the city and saw two disaster sites where the ground cracked and collapsed along the way.

The collapse caused accidents such as water pipe bursts and gas leaks. In some places, small-scale explosions occurred, causing fires. The screams, cries and cries for help below could not be blocked even by the glass body of the suspended car with excellent sound insulation.

These two ground fissures should have occurred at about the same time as the ground fissure near her apartment building. The diameter of one ground fissure reached nearly 200 meters, and the diameter of the other ground fissure was more than 100 meters.

Within the 200-meter diameter ground fissure, there happened to be a stadium where a game was being held. Looking down from mid-air, it had become a hell on earth, with bodies piled on top of each other, densely distributed in the scattered collapsed building debris. It was completely impossible to distinguish who was still alive and who was dead.

Many people were even suffocated to death by the people above them. There was blood everywhere, and there were even many broken limbs crushed by the collapsed buildings...

Even Jian Shou, who was used to restraining all emotions and expressions, frowned and looked at the tragic disaster scene outside the glass when passing near this area, and slightly slowed down the speed of the flying car.

Several large-scale collapse accidents have caused all the rescue teams in the city to be dispatched. The low-altitude suspension vehicle rescue team almost rushed out, and traditional rescue helicopters were also dispatched.

Outside the collapsed area, reporters and the victims' families who heard the news rushed to the nearby sidewalks, and some of the family members cried in despair, while others kept praying that their loved ones could be rescued alive.

But such a large-scale collapse is more terrible than a major earthquake. Many people were trapped under the buildings or even underground. Even if the rescue team of the whole city was dispatched, it was still impossible to rescue everyone in a short time...

Youxi knew that similar rescue work had never stopped from this moment on. The frequent ground collapse accidents paralyzed the rescue work and all hospitals.

After that, the "Red Lotus" appeared, and all the collapsed areas became death zones.

**

It was getting dark, and the sunset showed an unknown blood-red color.

The low-altitude suspension vehicle stopped steadily on the dedicated parking platform in front of the villa. After the two got off the car, Youxi locked the car and walked down the stairs on one side with Jian Shou.

The villa is built on the hillside. The courtyard area of ​​the villa is very large. In addition to the parking platform for low-altitude suspended vehicles on one side, there are several other parking spaces. The courtyard wall is not high, only about two meters.

The villa is two-story with an attic. The top of the attic is shaped in a very unique arc, like a bowl upside down on the villa.

What's even more strange is that there are eight sturdy steel columns firmly stuck on the outer wall of the villa on the left and right sides and in front and behind. The steel columns are about six or seven stories high and bend inward at the top, eventually forming a semicircle with the same shape as the villa's attic.

Youxi looked at the strange and unique villa in front of him, and all the memories related to the refuge villa became clear.

This is a villa that can move up and down within a controllable range. Simply put, it is like an elevator that can move up and down along a track in a steel column.

The reason why the entire villa can be lifted off the ground with only a small amount of electricity and energy is that most of the materials used to make the first floor of the villa are driftwood.

Experts have already done experiments and found that if the amount of driftwood is stacked, the anti-gravity will double.

No wonder the villa built by "Youxi" with its complicated and luxurious home decoration preferences is so simple and plain, with double-opening alloy explosion-proof doors, pupil plus sound analysis unlocking, a small number of windows, and double-layer explosion-proof glass.

The first floor is divided into a living room, a restaurant with a kitchen, a guest room and a bathroom. There is also a storage room built next to the restaurant, which is used to store the purchased materials.

There are four rooms on the second floor. The south-facing master bedroom is a suite with a bathroom. Everything from clothes to skin care products, cosmetics and various daily necessities are already in place.

The attic is the central control room and the electrical room. The electricity comes from solar energy. As long as there is electricity, most of the daily problems in the villa can be solved. The water source comes from the water pipes built into the steel columns. There are two interfaces, one at the top and the other is currently connected to the villa.

The sewage treatment part is the same. There are two interfaces built into the steel columns, one at the top and the other is currently connected.

You only need to operate the interface motorized valve in the central control room to complete the switch from the ground to the top of the villa.

Youxi looked around inside and remembered the reason why "Youxi" designed such a suspended villa. The end of the world was a natural disaster, but it was followed by a man-made disaster.

The speed of social order collapse was beyond imagination. The contradiction between natural humans and secular humans that was hidden under the water completely broke out after this disaster.

Even far away from the "Red Lotus" area, there were crises everywhere. Jian Shou and Hei Mu alone could not protect her. She suffered a lot, so she built this half-air villa when she was sure that the end of the world was coming.

Each of the eight steel pillars was one meter square, inserted seven or eight meters deep into the ground, and the outer edge was smooth, with no place to climb.

Once the villa rose to the top, those rioters would not be able to touch the villa at all. In addition, due to the anti-gravity characteristics of driftwood, unless all eight steel pillars collapse, as long as one of them remains standing, the villa can remain stable in mid-air.

Youxi sighed, stopped checking the villa, and went directly to the storage room on the first floor to count the supplies.

"Youxi" has no space, and the villa has a limited load-bearing capacity, so the current stockpiling is mainly long-lasting supplies: a small amount of pure barrel water, a large amount of convenient vegetarian food.

In terms of food, this world is similar to her original world: vacuum-packed rice sets, pasta sets, and pizza sets are all small in size and durable in storage. They can be eaten after opening the bag and heating. There are 10 boxes of each set in this part, and each box has 20 bags.

In addition, there are 15 boxes of instant noodles of different flavors, each box has 48 packs, and there are about 5 boxes of vacuum-packed meat, canned fruit, dehydrated vegetables, and energy bars.

She also stocked up on daily consumables, from kitchen and personal hygiene products, one box of each type. Paper towels were lighter, so she stocked more, about 20 boxes. There were

5 boxes of clothing and 2 boxes of various medicines.

If a person consumes these things normally, they can last about three years. If she is a little more frugal, they can last four years.

But for Youxi, if she eats vacuum food, noodles and canned fruits every day, she can't even last a month.

She decided to stock up before the "Red Lotus" appeared.

**

This large supermarket is not far from the villa. It takes about ten minutes to drive a low-altitude suspension vehicle to get there.

There is no ground fissure nearby for the time being. Although people have learned about the disaster from the news and are concerned about it, the store is still open for business.

"Mr. You, what do you want to buy? If you want to buy something, you can ask someone here to deliver it directly to the villa." After the low-altitude suspension vehicle stopped, Jian Shou reminded.

"I don't want others to know that I bought a large amount of supplies to the villa." You Xi was checking the nearby buildings and facilities on the stretched screen of her mobile phone. The mobile phones in this world are more advanced than those in her native world, but they are different from those in the acid rain world. The mobile

phones here are similar to watches before they are turned on, with thin and long straps, delicate and narrow and small screens, which fit the wrist perfectly.

Without opening the stretch screen, you can simply check the time, weather, messages, and make calls, but if you want to use the phone carefully, you can pull out the translucent extension screen from one side of the screen (the wide side), and then follow the normal operation process. The

extension screen is made of a special material, with good softness and light sensitivity, which is no less than the display effect in her native world.

You Xi adapted to the screen of the watch phone with just a few operations, and then quickly found the place she needed, and paid the four-hour rental online directly.

"Let's go." She said, and got out of the car first.

She rented an hourly room opposite the store. For privacy, this type of hourly room does not have a front desk. You can make a reservation online, get the unlock code, and then go directly into the room.

Hourly rooms also come in different sizes. She booked a suite of about 100 square meters, which is on the first floor. It can be reached by turning a corner after entering the gate outside the courtyard.

She took Jian Shou directly into the room. The room was decorated with a very atmospheric atmosphere, the lighting was charming and dim, and the projection screen on the wall was playing indescribable film and television clips.

Jian Shou was stunned for a moment after entering the room, and then looked at her. It was not that he was resisting - although he had been working as a bodyguard for the previous three years.

But as You Xi's servant, he would agree to any request made by the other party.

He was just a little stunned. He didn't understand why she would suddenly have such an interest under such circumstances. Wasn't the previous two days enough?

"You stay here and move the chairs and sofas in the living room to the side to make more space. Someone will deliver goods soon. No matter how much, remember to stack them neatly in the room."

"Mr. You?"

"It's getting dark, and I still have a lot to buy. That's it for now." She knew that Jian Shou was accustomed to following her, so she used an imperative tone, "Don't worry, I'm across the street, I won't get lost."

Five minutes later, You Xi stepped into the brightly lit store.

There are ten floors here, and all kinds of food and drink utensils, food, clothing, housing, transportation, medicines and tools... can be bought here, but in the Internet age, most people use online shopping. Even though there are a lot of people coming and going inside, most of these people are people who are purchasing on behalf of others.

After she entered the door, she directly hired a shopping guide, told him what she wanted to buy, and asked him to take her to the corresponding floor and shelf.

Starting with fresh fish, meat, fruits, eggs and milk, the part that was most lacking in the villa was her favorite part.

All the vegetables on the shelves here were sorted, washed and neatly bagged according to a certain weight. Youxi first scanned them and found that the quality was very good, and the variety was the same as in her own world, so she began to "shop by mouth" on foot.

"M12 beef eye, wow, the texture of this meat is really beautiful, sliced ​​1000 grams per portion, take 100 portions. Wait, is the whole box 30 portions? Then take five boxes, so they don't have to disassemble and assemble."

Shopping guide:...? ?

Youxi glanced at the person following behind her: "Place the order directly, don't be stunned." She said, turning on the payment function of the watch phone.

"Are you... going to place your order now? This address is quite close, but here they charge a delivery fee for each delivery. How about you wait until you buy everything and have them delivered all at once?"

"We can't finish it right away. Place your order. These five boxes will be delivered first. Wait, the top ribs and short ribs here are also good. M12 will have three boxes each of top ribs and short ribs. Eleven boxes in total, plus twenty bottles of ground rose sea salt, twenty bottles of ground black pepper, twenty bottles of ground cumin, and twenty bottles of basil spices. Place your order!"

This time the shopping guide understood that he had met a wealthy man, and immediately stopped talking. His fingers quickly selected the beef and seasonings the customer needed on the shopping guide's extended screen and placed an order.

After clicking the order button, the bill was automatically generated. You Xi walked over to pay the bill, and continued to "shop" on foot.

"The lamb ribs are not bad, but there are only four pieces in a box. How can this be enough? There are forty boxes in a box, so take five boxes. The lamb skewers are also good, with fat and lean, and the most tender lamb meat. There are twenty skewers in a box, and thirty boxes in a box? Take five boxes as well.

You need to put more cumin in the roasted lamb ribs, and take twenty bottles of ground cumin grains. In addition, take twenty bottles each of cumin powder, fine salt, chili powder, black pepper powder, pepper salt powder, curry powder, five-spice powder, and white pepper powder, the largest bottles.

" Youxi paused, "Place an order."

Seasonings like this are naturally packaged, and the bagged ones are cheaper, but they need to be manually put into the seasoning bottle before use.

But now in this world, there is plenty of money. In a few days, the money will depreciate until it loses its effect, so she doesn't need to save.

"Yes."

Swish - after the payment was made, a new large order was generated in the warehouse of the hypermarket, and the loading staff was busy quickly.

"This chicken is good, it's all processed, and the supporting materials for cooking soup are added. Not bad, there are only 20 servings in a box, take five boxes..."

"Chicken wings and chicken legs, three boxes!"

"Is this chicken breast ready, ready to eat right out of the bag, and low-fat? Five boxes!"

"The sockeye salmon is very fresh, do you have fillets? Take 200 boxes of fillets!"

"How many live Australian lobsters are in stock? 52? Sure, I'll take them all."

"Oysters, scallops, razor clams, nine-segment shrimps, mantis shrimps, crabs, abalone... How many boxes are these packed in? 30 boxes? Then take two boxes of each!"

"Hot pot area? Is this the hot pot set meal with soup base, vegetable meat rolls, meatballs, mushrooms, etc.? There are even pot fuel, seasoning, chopped green onions and ginger, and tableware. Not bad, take 20 sets of spicy beef and mutton set meal, mushroom and seafood set meal!"

"1.5 liter bottles of fresh milk, 50 bottles of each of these three brands!"

"Five boxes of eggs, yes, the kind with 100 eggs per box." "

Autumn Leaf Fragrant Rice? What kind of rice is this? Wow, at this price, no matter what kind of rice it is, it must be delicious. 10 kg per bag, 60 bags!"

"Drink area... there's Coke, and Fanta too? 48 cans, take 10 boxes of each, and iced black tea, iced green tea, canned coffee, and bottled milk tea, add up to 10 boxes!"

"30 boxes of bottled mineral water, 20 boxes of barreled water." She estimated that these were not enough, but it was okay, she brought two boxes of metal ice into the mission world, which could support her for a long time at critical moments.

"Vegetables are too humane, they are all washed and cut, how many bags in a box? 50 portions? Take a box of each variety. The same goes for fruits, they can still be so fresh after being cut, take 10 boxes of each variety, what? A box of 20 boxes? Then take a box of each variety."

Anyway, she only put more than 30 cubic meters of things into the 888 cubic meters of space, and there was a lot of empty space inside.

…

But while she was enjoying her “mouth shopping”, Jian Shou on the other end couldn’t stand it.

You Xi received a call from the other party: “Mr. You, the room is full, how many more things do you want to buy?”

You Xi: …

**

Forced by reality, You Xi could only stop “mouth shopping” temporarily, saying that she would go over and deal with it first and then come back, and let the shopping guide do other work first.

“No, no, no! I don’t have other work, will you come back and continue? I’ll wait for you!” The other party smiled extremely brilliantly.

While walking to the opposite side, You Xi operated on the stretch screen and rented all the hourly rooms next door.

When she returned to the door of the previous suite, she saw Jian Shou standing outside the door at a glance. There was no place for him in the room.

“Mr. You…” He looked at her with a complicated expression.

"Go to the door of the next room. Someone will deliver something later. Just ask them to deliver it to the next room. I have also rented the other three suites next to it. When one room is almost full, just tell me. I will directly fill in the other room number when placing an order. This is the password for these rooms."

You Xi said hurriedly, and asked Jian Shou to go to the next room. She went into the room and closed the door. After quickly checking the room to make sure there were no cameras, she put all the boxes of supplies into the Xingwu warehouse. She

came out and locked the door with her backhand. The new box of goods had arrived. Jian Shou was signaling him to deliver it to the next room. The deliveryman was checking the delivery information. You Xi stepped forward and reported the delivery order number. After confirming with the other party, she hurried back to the store.

The salesperson was waiting at the main entrance. When he saw her, he greeted her with a bright smile: "You are here! Are you tired from walking? This is the coffee I just bought for you. If you don't mind, please have some."

"Thank you."

"You're welcome. What else do you want to buy? Which floor should we go to?"

"Snacks, then clothing, daily necessities, medicines, bedding, polar equipment... In addition, is there a restaurant in the store?"

The other party's smile was almost to the ears: "Okay, okay! Please take the elevator this way. Yes, yes, we have everything you want. From the eighth floor to the tenth floor, there are all kinds of restaurants. Coffee shops, milk tea shops, desserts, and bakeries are distributed between the fifth and seventh floors. If you are used to eating a brand, please tell me and I can take you there directly."

After more than three hours, Youxi bought all the necessary supplies and transferred them all safely to the Xingwu warehouse.

Jian Shou almost obeyed her orders. Every time a room was filled, he went to the next one and did not look back.

Even though the two of them only brought a few boxes of packed dishes, coffee and bread into the car, he did not ask much about the huge box of supplies.

You Xi was very satisfied with Jian Shou. After the low-altitude hovercraft took off, she did not ask him to return to the apartment, but asked him to turn around and drive to the outer edge of the city.

"Where are we going, President You?"

"To the company's warehouse area outside the city. I remember that there are several warehouses there that store a lot of fuel for low-altitude hovercrafts."

She had been tempted by such a flying car. The anti-gravity of driftwood also worked in her native world, but the problem was that the fuel that controlled the car's forward movement, ascent and descent was not available in her own world.

It was a kind of mineral fuel unique to this place. Each fist-sized mineral fuel extract could maintain the power of the low-altitude hovercraft for nearly twelve hours.

Since the company has also purchased a number of low-altitude suspension vehicles for business entertainment, the company will naturally stock up on enough fuel.

In order to avoid more trouble, she planned to run outside the city overnight to get the fuel.
