After dealing with the grain issue, Qiao He went to the department store and started stocking up on various canned goods and instant food.

After the weather gets hot, vegetables and meats become difficult to store, and refrigerators need electricity. When electricity consumption reaches its peak, power rationing will naturally occur.

So, instead of stockpiling vegetables, canned goods are more effective. Thus, Qiao He began to sweep up all kinds of canned vegetables, fruits, and meats, stockpiling tens of thousands of cans of each!

Besides ordering the staple food she needed, Qiao He certainly didn't forget her kittens. She first ordered 20 tons of the cat food that her kittens usually liked, and then ordered 20,000 cat sticks each of tuna, chicken and cranberry, salmon, beef, duck and rabbit flavors, etc. After that, she ordered tens of thousands of canned cat food that her cats liked.

In addition, I bought a large batch of cat litter, scratching posts, cat trees, and toys that the cats like.

Even if it meant sacrificing her own needs, Qiao He couldn't let her cats suffer. In addition to these basic necessities, she also ordered a batch of medical supplies for the cats from the pet hospital she frequented.

In the post-apocalyptic world, doctors are an extremely scarce resource, so Qiao He ordered some human medical books and veterinary books online. Not satisfied with that, she bought many other books, such as agricultural tool guides and planting guides…

After hurriedly ordering these goods, Qiao He went to look at the weapons for self-defense: daggers, pig-slaughtering knives, chainsaws, baseball bats, steel pipes... Qiao He swallowed up thousands of items that could be used in a fight.

Medicines were also essential, so Qiao He visited numerous pharmacies and, after spending a small amount of money, finally found a medicine supplier.

The supplier called Qiao He with a smile: "Ms. Qiao, how much medicine do you need?"

Qiao He said, "How much goods do you have? Prepare a thousand pieces of each. Oh right, and what about medicines that are available on the market? Can you get those? I want a thousand pieces of each!"

Upon hearing this, the supplier was shocked. Their warehouses contained at least several large warehouses with that many medicines. And this Miss Qiao was asking for so many, all the medicines available on the market?

Before the supplier could speak, Qiao He asked, "How much deposit is needed?"

The supplier does have some major clients, but there aren't many such major clients who need all the medicines available on the market.

However, upon hearing Qiao He mention a deposit, the supplier immediately beamed with joy, "Not much, not much... How about a deposit of 150,000?"

Qiao He said in an extremely domineering tone, "Give me the account."

Supplier: "Okay, Miss Qiao..."

Before she knew it, it was afternoon. Qiao He went to the Beijing newspaper office again to publish missing cat notices for five cats. She also went to a nearby stray cat shelter to inquire, but still there was no news of the cats.

Qiao He looked worried and hired people to hand out flyers on the street, hoping to find the kids as soon as possible.

As the sun set, Qiao He returned home.

Unexpectedly, as soon as I arrived at my doorstep, I saw a group of burly men lying on the ground with bruises and swelling, and among them was Qiao Erlin!
