What does it feel like to be betrayed by the person closest and most trusted? Reborn, Hua Mi believes that the top priority in the apocalypse is to have abundant supplies, stay away from crowds and...
"Alright, alright, stop reporting. I'll take all the ones you have that I can give you."
Hua Miting had a headache. There was so much rice; she couldn't tell the difference between good and bad. She could eat any kind of rice, right?
Of course, she mostly bought things for the rescue team, and only bought a little for herself.
I won't stockpile too much, maybe ten or twenty thousand bags.
If I buy too much rice, it will spoil easily if left outside. I'll put it in her level 6 storage room as well.
While finalizing delivery arrangements with a major agricultural trader in Xiangcheng, a series of notifications appeared before Hua Mi's eyes:
[Start security scan...]
[Security and defense works completed]
[Defense Engineering Rating: Complete 360° surveillance with no blind spots, monitoring range within a 100-meter radius]
[You have obtained 3 square meters of black soil. Please select a site for the black soil.]
Has Huo Jing set up the surveillance cameras? Once the surveillance system with no blind spots is installed, a security defense can be achieved.
Hua Mi laughed and immediately asked the tycoon on the phone,
"Do you have any seeds? I want all kinds of seeds, like fruit and vegetable seeds, I want them all too."
She no longer possesses the ability to create a forest, but she does have three square meters of brand-new black soil.
Immediately after her rebirth, Hua Mi went to the farmers' market after visiting the supermarket and bought a batch of seeds.
However, the plan changed, and the few seeds purchased were clearly not enough.
If she really wants to take care of a rescue team, the best thing to do is to organize all these rescue teams into production.
Everyone needs to farm, so naturally there will be lots and lots of seeds!
The bigwigs over there also joined in the laughter.
"What a pity, I only have whole grain seeds, no fruit or vegetable seeds."
After saying that, he listed the seeds he had: corn, millet, red rice, black rice, purple rice, sorghum, barley, oats, buckwheat, soybeans, mung beans, red beans, black beans, broad beans, peas, sweet potatoes, yams, potatoes...
Hua Mi felt nauseous listening to the broadcast and quickly interrupted the giant's announcement.
“I want it all. Send it all with me. And the grain too. Look at the state of Xiangcheng now. If you have any connections, send some more to Xiangcheng. Our rescue team will take whatever it takes.”
The tycoon chuckled, as if afraid Hua Mi might change her mind, and then said:
"Alright, it's a deal. You're Boss Gong's man, so I don't believe you can go back on your word. Wait a few days, and I'll find a way to bring in grain from other places."
They lived in an era of abundance. Humanity wasn't wiped out. As long as the earthquakes didn't wipe out humanity, there would always be people going to work and factories still operating.
The problem is that logistics channels are not smooth, so a large number of supplies cannot be allocated, resulting in local shortages.
The supplies are available; as long as there are connections, sales channels, and smooth logistics, it is still possible to find a large quantity of goods.
The giants have stockpiled large quantities of vegetables that they simply can't sell.
Just as Hua Mi said, the world is already like this, everyone is thinking about hoarding goods, even the rescue team is no exception, the food business must be easy to do.
At Lianhua Shengxing Supermarket, Hua Mi hung up the phone with the agricultural trade giant and then called the garrison guarding the supplies at the rescue center, saying that a large quantity of vegetables, grains, and seeds would be arriving soon, and asked them to move the oil drums to another location.
We will first receive these hundreds of tons of vegetables, tens of thousands of bags of rice, and several thousand bags of seeds.
The garrison officer who answered the phone seemed quite surprised and asked:
"Sister Hua, it's starting to rain now. Where are all the vegetables, grains, and seeds stored? Are they left outside?"
No one knew why Hua Mi bought so many supplies.
Currently, neither Xiangcheng nor the neighboring city has experienced a shortage of supplies, although in the first few days after the earthquake, supplies were somewhat tight and bottled water was in short supply.
But soon, donations from all sectors poured into Xiangcheng and neighboring cities like snowflakes.
The other cities that were also hit by earthquakes, as reported in the news, also received a lot of donated supplies.
So there is no shortage of food.
Xiangcheng only lacks drinkable water.
But even after the only water treatment plant was destroyed by the earthquake, water prices did not rise.
The price of bottled water at the ambulance center has remained stable between 5 and 8 yuan.
The price of bottled water in the neighboring city has been stabilized at 10 yuan per bottle.
There have been mineral waters that cost 30 yuan a bottle, but at most, they would only sell a few bottles.
Hua Mi sells for 5 yuan a bottle, she sells bottles.
How do you fight back against people who want to raise the price of bottled water?
Hua Mi hummed in agreement.
"Don't worry about it, just do as I say, and I'll come over tomorrow to take care of it."
After hanging up the phone with the garrison, Hua Mi glanced outside the supermarket and saw that it was indeed drizzling.
She didn't take it to heart at all. According to the apocalyptic events of her previous life, the first thing to happen was extremely cold weather.
There has only been a minor incident; the earthquake, which was originally supposed to occur later, has been moved to the very beginning.
What will follow immediately after that is extremely cold weather.
The news reported that a cold front would sweep in from the Northern Hemisphere, but it would take another month or two to actually reach Xiangcheng.
That's enough for her to prepare for the rescue team.
After hanging up the phone with the garrison, Hua Mi called Chi Chuan again.
"I need to order an unlimited supply of rescue equipment. Do you have any stock?"
The background noise on the phone was chaotic, and he spoke loudly:
"I don't have any rescue equipment, but I can find some for you. I have a friend of a friend who owns a sweater factory, Sister Hua. Do you want to do a job with me?"
He also received news that a cold front was about to sweep down from the Arctic, so many people were rushing to buy winter clothes.
Ikegawa happened to have this resource, but his friend's friend only produced sweaters and nothing else.
Hua Mi, sitting in the supermarket, took out a bag of spicy duck necks from the Level 6 storage compartment and started eating them.
"Then order me a men's sweater in various sizes and a women's sweater in size M in various styles."
M is her size; one sweater is enough for her to wear until she's old.
Chi Chuan was taken aback by Hua Mi's gesture, and he gave an awkward laugh.
"Sis, you're my own sister, okay? My friend's friend only has a small factory. Even if you make them knit until their hands break, they still can't knit a single sweater."
"Then let them do their best. In times like these, deliver as much as they can."
Hua Mi, who was munching on spicy duck neck, seemed very Zen. Just as she was about to hang up on Chi Chuan, another call came from the other end.
Ikegawa:
"Sister, do you still have any bottled water? I need a bottle. The next city has everything except drinking water. Business is so good here."
After saying that, Chi Chuan, fearing that Hua Mi would accuse him of profiting from the disaster, quickly added,
"I only sell a 550ml bottle of water for 10 yuan, which is not unreasonable."
"It's not excessive. I have so much water, you can come and haul it away."
