Crazy Stockpiling at the End of Days

Orphaned and working tirelessly for three years, I finally bought my own house only to face the apocalypse. For the second time, I must endure the same catastrophic disaster.

But this time I ...

Chapter 33 Group Formation Fails

Despite their stealth, the two still disturbed a family of four living in the stairwell, but they only glanced at their backpacks and continued lying down.

Back on the 8th floor, Xu Lin took out two steamed buns and a cup of porridge from her spatial storage and handed them to 801.

"These are the steamed buns and porridge I made earlier. I was tired after a long night, so I ate them and got some rest when I got home."

Since the supplies for Unit 801 were all kept here, I'll treat him to breakfast.

"Okay, thanks."

After getting home, I washed up, ate, and lay down. I had worked the night shift, so I needed to get a good rest.

"Bang, bang, bang!" Someone knocked on the door.

Xu Lin struggled to open her eyes. The alarm clock on the table showed 7:30. Dragging her tired body, she opened two doors and asked through the third, "Who is it?"

"Xiao Xu, it's me, from the 6th floor."

It was that nice guy on the 6th floor who was disturbing her sleep, and Xu Lin was a little annoyed.

"What is it?" Xu Lin asked impatiently.

"That's right, several of our families are out of food, and we want to team up to go out and find supplies."

"Doesn't the mall sell grain?" Xu Lin had only bought grain once before, and didn't know if there had been any recent developments.

"The products the mall sold these past two times were soaked in water and then dried. Many people got diarrhea after eating them, and there's also a purchase limit. We couldn't buy any last time," said the kind-hearted person on the 6th floor pitifully.

Who is going?

“One person moved to room 401 near the stairwell, a young man moved to room 701, one person moved to room 201 (702), and then there was me.”

"I stayed up late last night and need to catch up on sleep today, so I won't be going out to look for supplies. Maybe next time."

Xu Lin didn't want to team up with them; they were only after her assault boat. But it wouldn't be good to refuse them outright, lest they think she had plenty of supplies and then try to get supplies from her again someday, which would be a huge loss.

"Alright then, I'll ask you to come again next time. Even though we're all staying home and not working now, you young people shouldn't have your days and nights reversed. You need to develop a healthy lifestyle. Don't you think you'll be doing this when you're old..."

"Bang! Bang!"

Being disturbed while sleeping was already annoying enough, but this person kept nagging like a monk. Xu Lin simply closed both doors to block out the noise.

"Sigh, these young people nowadays!" The good-natured man shook his head and turned to go to room 801.

801 also refused to go looking for supplies together, and the good-natured guy got a cold shoulder on the 8th floor.

Back on the 6th floor, everyone asked how the good guy in 602 was doing. He just shook his head and said, "Xiao Xu and 801 both said they stayed up late last night and need to catch up on sleep today."

"Yes, they didn't get back until almost 6 a.m. this morning, and they woke me up," said the male head of the family of four who lives near the stairwell.

"Where are we going to get a speedboat? Honestly, they could have at least lent us their own transportation instead of teaming up with us!" complained the eccentric old lady from room 601.

"You team up with someone just to get their tools? What can you give them in return? Who are they to you? Why should they lend them their tools?"

"You old hag, you're just trying to go against me. You have an inflatable boat, why don't you use it? Stop pretending to be so high and mighty!"

"Even if I need something, I have to exchange it with someone else. Unlike you, you just want to shamelessly rely on your age! You only think about using other people's things, but you don't give a penny to yourself. You get all the good things! Bah!"

"Alright, alright, you two stop arguing. Let's decide where to go today." Seeing the two elderly people starting to quarrel, 602 quickly stepped in to smooth things over.

After some discussion, the group decided that each family would contribute a door panel or a large basin before setting off.
