Apocalyptic Stockpiling Survival Life

Jiang Muyun struggled for ten years in the apocalypse. Her biggest regret was not seeing the ending of a novel. She had salvaged dozens of middle pages from the ruins after an earthquake; she could...

Chapter 9

◎Happy ninth day: Fortunately I bought it early◎

It's not even eleven o'clock yet.

Jiang Muyun drove the car out of the park and found a small restaurant to have lunch during the off-peak hours.

While eating, Jiang Muyun checked and found that there were three large-scale shoe factories in this light industrial park.

She doesn't need to consider a company that mainly produces children's shoes.

The remaining two both have lines of waterproof hiking boots.

Jiang Muyun first went to a store whose main products included professional-grade running shoes.

She was lucky because this factory was a domestic OEM factory for a well-known foreign brand.

Jiang Muyun tried them and found that their waterproof hiking boots were indeed of high quality and comfortable to wear. They even had shoes for polar expeditions.

The price is pretty solid too.

Jiang Muyun was forced to go to another factory and then returned here.

She took out the calculator on her phone, added the shoe budget to the budget saved from buying clothes and bedding, and finally decided to order five pairs of polar research shoes, one hundred pairs of fleece-lined and thickened waterproof hiking boots, and two hundred pairs of highly breathable sports shoes.

After placing the order, Jiang Muyun went to the sock factory next door to calm down.

Compared with the price of shoes, socks that cost only a few cents on average look much cuter.

Jiang Muyun directly bought about 20,000 pairs of ordinary socks and cleared out the sock factory's stock of thick winter cotton socks.

Like sock factories and garment factories, bulk shipment orders are all weighed rather than piece-counted.

Finally, Jiang Muyun touched his chin and thought about it, and ordered a lot of stockings.

Stockings are not always meant to be worn.

Wear it when you go out when mosquitoes are rampant, and you will know the effect if you use it.

The sock factory accepted the order and said it could deliver the goods to your door tomorrow.

Once your feet are protected, your hands must not be left behind.

Ordinary gloves are not very useful. The most practical things in the apocalypse are still various labor protection gloves.

Jiang Muyun ordered fifty pairs of latex gloves, fifty pairs of welding gloves, two hundred pairs of canvas gloves, and two hundred pairs of cotton gloves from the labor protection factory.

There are also disposable protective suits, and Jiang Muyun directly ordered a thousand sets.

Although Jiang Muyun has bought a gas mask, it is too eye-catching to carry it outside. Unless necessary, Jiang Muyun still wants to be restrained.

So Jiang Muyun bought five boxes of the most protective N99 masks, which came in a box of one thousand. This was enough for her to get through the period when the plague was rampant.

Protective glasses and earmuffs may seem insignificant, but when the yellow sand starts to fly, you'll realize how valuable they are. Jiang Muyun bought fifty of each.

I bought fifty pairs of acid-resistant and alkali-resistant protective shoes.

There were also two-piece raincoats and rain pants, and Jiang Muyun bought fifty sets.

There are only two kinds of rain after the end of the world: one is highly corrosive acid rain, and the other is heavy rain that lasts for several months.

Most of the time, the two types of rain appear one after another, seamlessly connecting.

So even though Jiang Muyun already has a three-proof jacket, a raincoat and rain pants are also essential.

The labor protection factory is different from other manufacturers, and all its products are standardized.

This labor protection factory is large in scale and has a large inventory, so whatever Jiang Muyun wants can be shipped on the same day.

Jiang Muyun thought about it and decided not to ask the labor protection factory and the sock factory to deliver the goods tomorrow for convenience. Instead, he made an appointment with the manufacturer for the delivery time this afternoon.

The small warehouse she rented in South City was different from the one in West City.

There are small warehouses all around West Market, with cars coming and going everywhere, and no one can tell who is who when things are being transported in and out.

However, many industrial parks have been built around Nanshi, and there are not many small warehouses for rent. Most of them are large warehouses used by factories.

The one Jiang Muyun found was the most inconspicuous of the short-term rental warehouses. Even so, there was still a residential area not far from the warehouse.

She bought a lot of different things in Nanshi, so it was impossible for the warehouse to only have things coming in but not out.

Jiang Muyun didn't want to take any risk.

So she chose to go to the small warehouse more often when she had nothing to do, driving her van to create the illusion of transporting goods back and forth.

The next big group to stock up on goods is the household chemicals factory.

There is only one household chemical factory in the entire light industrial park of Nanshi, which almost contracts the production of household chemical products in the entire Nanshi. The scale of this factory can be imagined.

For such a large-scale factory, the quantity of goods Jiang Muyun needed was too insignificant. So she still had to queue up for the shipment.

After all, it is a household product. If he has a choice, Jiang Muyun still wants to use products produced by regular large manufacturers.

But the good thing is that this factory is large enough, with sufficient inventory, stable shipments, and very few large expedited orders.

So for new customers like Jiang Muyun, the factory's delivery speed is only related to the loading speed, and they can't wait for long.

Jiang Muyun first placed an order for 50,000 pairs of disposable underwear.

In her previous life, Jiang Muyun didn't have the conditions. It only took her two years to go from drinking ice water and running during her period to being in so much pain every month that she wanted to kill herself.

You must pay attention to your physical hygiene throughout your life!

Then there are the tampons and sanitary napkins in various sizes, sold by the box.

Jiang Muyun adheres to the principle of buying more rather than less and reports the numbers within the budget limit.

Even if she couldn't use it all in three lifetimes, she could still exchange it with others later.

Products like sanitary napkins have become rare luxury goods in the apocalypse.

Even the most extravagant capitalists would not put their limited resources into producing sanitary napkins.

It would be great if any base could produce enough toilet paper.

There is also Vaseline and baby cream.

Baby Cream is a brand that Jiang Muyun has been using since childhood. It is cheap, easy to use and smells good.

The specification is 100ml per bottle, and there are twenty-four bottles in a box. Jiang Muyun bought fifty boxes at a time.

In the apocalyptic situation where droughts can last for several years, even if Jiang Muyun can store enough drinking water, his skin will crack due to the dry air, which is unavoidable no matter how much water he drinks.

Of course, frostbite cream is also necessary.

There were also cleaning supplies such as toothpaste, toothbrushes, soap, shampoo, shower gel, laundry detergent and disinfectant. Jiang Muyun bought the largest packages, all of which were enough for her to use for three lifetimes.

After all, compared to the price after adding brand packaging, the factory's quotation is incredibly cheap.

Then there are tissues.

Such a cheap and inconspicuous necessity of life.

You may not think of it as a big deal at ordinary times, but when you lose tissues for a whole day, you will know its importance.

Buy! Buy in bundles!

Jiang Muyun no longer wants to experience that kind of unspeakable pain!

After buying paper towels, wet wipes are also essential.

In arid and water-scarce environments, washing hands has become something that ordinary people can only dream of. In the apocalypse, with the frequent outbreaks of various diseases, people need to maintain cleanliness and hygiene even more.

Jiang Muyun knew herself well enough to know that even if she could move a reservoir of water into her space, she wouldn't be willing to use it like she did before the apocalypse, let alone wash in front of others. So, in addition to disposable gloves, she also had to prepare wet wipes.

Just buy the cheapest one, the simpler the ingredients the better.

There are also medicated oil and floral water.

They can still play a big role in the early days of the apocalypse when mosquitoes have not yet mutated.

As for things like realgar, which have stronger insect repellent effects, we'll have to wait until Jiang Muyun buys them together with the medicines.

Jiang Muyun also bought a few boxes of summer magic weapon, prickly heat powder.

At Jiang Muyun's age, when she could remember, air conditioners had already become popular in the country, so the thing called prickly heat powder was just a vague childhood memory of hers.

When air conditioners stop working, people develop patches of prickly heat in the scorching heat. If they want to find this magical device at home, they will have to rely on luck.

When I left the chemical factory, I saw a group of people in suits walking towards me. It looked like a big business.

Jiang Muyun whistled in her heart. Fortunately, she came early, otherwise, after the deal was done, her goods might have to wait for several more days.

As the others approached, Jiang Muyun inadvertently met the eyes of the leader.

The other party seemed a little stunned, then smiled at Jiang Muyun again.

Jiang Muyun did not stop and nodded slightly as a return gesture.

Jiang Muyun always felt that the man looked familiar, but he couldn't remember where he had seen him.

She tried hard to remember it for a while but couldn't, so she simply put it out of her mind.

Anyway, she was wearing a mask and dressed in a way that she would be hard to find in a crowd. It didn't matter whether she recognized the other person or not, as long as the other person didn't recognize her.

Jiang Muyun put some of the textiles in the car into the space, then went to the hat factory to get her two hundred sun hats, and then drove to her small warehouse, and stuffed the hats and the remaining textiles into the space on the way.

When they arrived, Jiang Muyun didn't rush to get out of the car. She sat in the car with the air conditioning on, browsing the shopping app while waiting for the call from the labor insurance factory.

She didn't want to buy many home appliances, and the home appliance factories in Nanshi were generally large in scale. So after Jiang Muyun left the chemical factory, she didn't go directly to the home appliance manufacturer, but made a phone call to ask first.

After the other party clearly stated that they would not accept small orders, she had no choice but to place an order online.

She first bought five air conditioners and fifty small humidifiers.

Air conditioners can be used in both winter and summer, but when the weather becomes extreme, the depreciation rate of air conditioners becomes extremely high.

Her family now has three air conditioners: one in the study, one in her bedroom and one in her and her father's bedrooms. They were all bought just a few years ago.

It has withstood the test of running continuously for two months at a high temperature of 40 degrees Celsius in Nanshi, and serving as an electric heater at minus 7 degrees Celsius, and is quite durable.

Jiang Muyun has space, which makes it very convenient to put away and store furniture, and he can change rooms at any time.

By then, the three air conditioners will take turns being tortured, and it shouldn't be a problem to survive the first year of the apocalypse.

These five air conditioners were prepared by Jiang Muyun for his future.

It's good to have dreams. What if she can find a sturdy enough valley and live a self-sufficient life?

There are ten electric blankets and electric heaters that can be used when winter comes, and five dryers and dehumidifiers that are life-saving devices in the rainy season.

It’s not for the luxury of drying clothes, but for drying yourself.

The rainy season in the end times is simply the plum rain season superimposed on the return of the south wind, which cycles back and forth for several months, and the humidity is so high that it makes it hard to breathe.

In the face of extreme weather every day, these things will still be luxury goods after the end of the world, and they are luxury goods specially provided to the powerful and wealthy.

Although ordinary people cannot afford electricity after the end of the world, there will always be people who can afford it.

The prices of these electrical appliances, which could only be produced before the end of the world and were not destroyed in the series of disasters later, naturally rose sharply.

She also bought ten high-pressure rice cookers.

This is mainly to make it easier for her to cook in batches when she is at home.

Compared with ordinary rice cookers, high-pressure rice cookers can stew some dishes faster.

As for other small appliances, there's no need to rush. The ones she already has at home are enough for the time being. If she wants to buy more as backup, she can still have as many as she wants after the power goes out.

After placing the order, Jiang Muyun calculated that according to the purchase route, she still had two major parts to prepare. After these two trips, her preliminary stocking work would be mostly completed.
