Chu Xiang's eyes were filled with madness as he rubbed his shirt in his hands until his knuckles turned white, an overwhelming sense of humiliation washing over him.

"After only two days of tracking Chen Nian, Wang Feifei showed up. It's obvious where the key lies."

"Wang Feifei, I have no choice but to ask you for the three million... and..."

"I want your people too!"

Chu Xiang got up and went to his computer desk, searching for abandoned warehouses in the suburbs. He needed a secluded corner to plan this.

...

Wang Feifei was also in front of her computer at this moment. She was about to order various kinds of meat. In order to ensure timely delivery, she chose a local meat supplier again this time.

If you order now and it arrives tonight or early tomorrow morning, the temperature will definitely be high enough to freeze it. Based on the rate of temperature drop, the temperature should be below zero by early morning.

Thinking of this, Wang Feifei shuddered. When she was rushing to buy things at the supermarket, she figured that according to the temperature, it would be around tomorrow night.

She dragged a shopping cart to the supermarket to grab supplies and truly felt how terrible the temperature drop was. It was the first time she had witnessed the cruelty of human nature. In the face of crisis, the test of humanity had only just begun.

In this lifetime, the news media has yet to take any action regarding the recent unusually sharp drop in temperature.

"It should be soon, we need to speed things up. If we're any later, people might start looting supplies."

Wang Feifei found the largest meat processing plant on the website and contacted the owners through the website's phone number.

She wanted to buy a large quantity of meat as quickly as possible, and to avoid attracting attention, she needed to order from several different vendors separately.

She bought items from three different stores, including beef, tripe, beef rolls, and beef bones; pork, ribs, and bacon; and chicken and various chicken products.

She also found a separate store specializing in seafood, such as fish, shrimp, and crab, and bought them separately.

This time, I also specially purchased a lot of semi-finished dishes, such as marinated bacon, ham, steak, chicken cutlet, and low-fat chicken breast, which are very convenient for dinner and breakfast.

Wang Feifei carefully checked the list she had made, selecting each item she had purchased to ensure she didn't miss anything.

You have to understand that every type of meat is related to the quality of life in the safe house, so we can't miss any of them.

For example, sliced ​​beef and tripe are indispensable for hot pot. She thought of the three hundred packets of hot pot base she had already stocked up downstairs, and her eyes were full of anticipation...

Fortunately, although the temperature has been low recently, it is still in the summer season, so the supply is relatively sufficient. With so much meat to buy, there has been almost no shortage of stock.

Moreover, because the purchase volume was large, most of the stores that placed the order agreed to deliver to the door, which solved a major problem.

Only she knew the total amount of goods. By shipping them separately and distributing them among each store, the quantity wouldn't be too exaggerated, making it less likely to attract attention.

In addition, there is raw cow meat and bones, and cat food, which have been in the cold storage of the transit warehouse for a few days. These foods will also be delivered urgently.

The temperature is dropping too quickly, lest something unexpected happen during the long night...

After completing these tasks, she had the remaining time to pick up the "nanny robot" ordered from the United States. The handover location was the overseas branch office in City A.

Wang Feifei was initially puzzled by this, wondering why such a large item couldn't be delivered to her door.

The company explained that buying a nanny robot is not as simple as buying a piece of clothing; it requires greater customization. It needs to be customized according to the buyer's usage scenario and written into the program, so it must be picked up on-site.

Wang Feifei had to make the trip herself; it was about an hour's drive, thankfully not too far...

This time she witnessed what cutting-edge technology truly is.

The staff led her into a dark room containing a huge device resembling a sleep pod. They had Wang Feifei lie down inside the pod wearing special underwear.

Thirty seconds later, the measurement of various body parameters was completed, and some of Wang Feifei's instructions were also recorded.

"Now, this robot is your personal nanny; it's your assistant, helping you with those tedious housework,"

Pointing to a white robot, the staff member said, "It is made of carbon fiber, weighs only 30 kilograms, and is about 1.2 meters tall. It looks rather miniature."

Wang Feifei had some doubts about whether such a small size could handle goods: "Its main purpose is to help me manage the warehouse and accurately retrieve goods. Can it handle large items?"

The staff member smiled and said, "Yes, it can lift up to 300 kilograms of items at a time, which is about the weight of two or three refrigerators."

"Actually, lifting heavy objects is just a basic function; its more powerful feature is the smart chip."

What is a smart chip?

"It's equipped with a state-of-the-art chip, which has just been programmed into the warehouse management system, adding recognition capabilities. It can scan all your items and intelligently categorize them. Next time, you just need to tell it what you want, and it can find it for you immediately."

"Does that mean I don't need to specifically categorize and label the items on the shelves?"

"Yes, it truly frees up your hands; it can quickly find even things that are just randomly piled up."

"By the way, is it okay to get things from high places?"

"It has a telescopic frame at the bottom, which can lift it to a high place for operation when necessary. It can easily operate in spaces up to six meters high."

"In addition, its primary function is as a caregiver robot, which is especially helpful for pet-owning families or the elderly. Its underlying program is designed to take care of humans."

Hearing this, Wang Feifei was extremely satisfied. From now on, when she lives alone, she can leave all the heavy physical work to it. It's much more useful than her boyfriend!

"By the way, is it possible for it to malfunction sometimes?"

"It's unavoidable for machines to malfunction, but our R&D scientists have already considered this issue. Its charging compartment is actually a simple control center. If a malfunction occurs, you only need to press this green button, and it will be quickly summoned to the charging compartment and then restored to factory settings, which will completely solve the problem."

"The parameters we set today are the state after restoring factory settings, so there's no need to worry about data loss."

That's great! Wang Feifei originally planned to buy two, but with this method, one robot will be enough.

She paid the remaining balance and took the robot home.

When the cow arrived home, it was very uncomfortable. When it saw a large white object, its fur stood on end.

But the robot seemed to know pets very well. It not only poured cat food for the cow but also quickly found treats to please it. It was also equipped with an infrared light, and in no time at all, it had become familiar with the cow...

At this moment, Chu Xiang drove to the eastern outskirts of the city, where there was an abandoned warehouse in an inconspicuous grove of trees.

This place used to be a village-level factory in the 1980s, but it has been abandoned and overgrown with weeds since it stopped operating for many years.

Chu Xiang cautiously looked around, but couldn't see anyone. It looked like it had been abandoned for a long time.

"This place is really nice!"

He pulled his coat tighter: "Damn weather, why is it suddenly so cold?"
