Having made her plans, Xu Anran went to her supervisor the next day and said that she had an urgent family matter and needed to resign. Her supervisor agreed, but she had to wait a week before she could leave so that the supermarket could find someone to replace her.

This week, Xu Anran bought a lot of medicine every day after get off work. When people asked her why she bought so much medicine, she said that there were no such medicines in her hometown in the mountains and she was going to take them back to her hometown. As for whether people believed her or not, she didn't care, since she was leaving soon anyway.

In one week, she stockpiled various types of medicine: 200 boxes of hemostatic patches, 200 boxes of special cold medicine, 100 boxes of heatstroke relief patches, 300 oxygen cylinders, 20 sets of protective clothing, 100 boxes of masks, 50 boxes of hemostatic medicine, 100 boxes of comprehensive nutrients, 50 boxes of whitening agents, 60 packs of fever-reducing patches, etc.

After stockpiling the medicine, she still had 600,000 yuan left. This time, she wanted to buy a larger RV, so she went to a nearby shopping mall to look at cars. She took a liking to one that was about the size of a small bus and was all black.

Go up the small steps and open the car door. To the right is a small shoe cabinet, behind which is the driver's cab. Directly opposite the entrance is a large refrigerator, next to which are two opposing double sofas. In the middle is a dining table, opposite which is a small kitchen and washing machine, fully equipped with a microwave, range hood, and induction cooker. Next to the cabinets is a bathroom, and above and opposite the bathroom is an air conditioner. At the very back of the vehicle is a large bed with storage space underneath. Above the driver's seat in the front is a pull-out overhead bed. The vehicle has underfloor heating, and there is a retractable terrace tent on the roof.

The car was priced at 600,000 yuan, with a down payment of 100,000 yuan and a 10-year loan with monthly payments of 3,500 yuan. Xu Anran bought it without hesitation and spent another 80,000 yuan to have the dealership modify it. They removed one of the booth seats and installed a large freezer there and in the rear storage compartment. They also wanted solar charging panels and Wi-Fi installed on the car. Everything was agreed upon, and they arranged to pick up the car a week later.

Xu Anran then searched for nearby wholesale markets with reasonable prices on her phone, took a taxi there, and first bought rice, flour, and cooking oil: she bought 20 jin of wheat flour, 20 jin of rice, 10 jin of noodles, 5 jin of red beans, 5 jin of mung beans, 5 jin of soybeans, and 10 barrels of oil. She asked the shopkeeper to deliver the goods to a small alley behind the store where there were no surveillance cameras, saying that someone would come to move the goods in a while. She took advantage of the fact that no one was passing by to put the goods into her spatial storage.

Next, I went to a cured meat shop and bought 15 cured ducks, 30 jin of sausages, 20 jin of cured pork, and 30 jin of ham. Then I went to a grocery store and bought a lot of canned fruit: 5 boxes of yellow peaches, 5 boxes of oranges, 2 boxes of lychees, 4 boxes of bayberries, 4 boxes of grapes, and 5 boxes of mixed canned fruit, etc.

I also bought some other kinds of canned goods: braised beef, tuna, ribbonfish, black bean fish, oxtail soup, cream of mushroom soup, mixed vegetable soup, etc.

After buying food, Xu Anran worried that the virus in this world would contaminate the water source, so she bought 100 bottles of water for drinking and 100 large plastic buckets to go back to the apartment to get tap water to fill the RV's water tank.

A week passed quickly, and Xu Anran went to pick up her car. During this time, she found someone online who made fake documents and spent 10,000 yuan to make a driver's license.

She drove to the wholesale market again, and this time she went to the cold storage store and bought a lot of frozen food: chicken wings, chicken legs, squid, beef rolls, lamb rolls, sausages, chicken nuggets, shrimp, steak, dumplings of various flavors, shumai, meatballs, and all kinds of ice cream.

These frozen foods filled the two large freezers in the RV.

I also bought a variety of kitchen utensils, including a kitchen knife, peeler, cutting board, soup ladle, steamer, meat grinder, pasta machine, bread maker, air fryer, saucepan, and frying pan. I also bought a lot of seasonings and sauces.

We also wholesaled a lot of daily necessities: 100 rolls of toilet paper, 50 boxes of sanitary napkins, 20 boxes of sanitary safety pants, 300 pairs of disposable underwear, 20 pairs of bras, 50 barrels of laundry detergent, 50 barrels of dish soap, 200 barrels of disinfectant, 20 brushes, etc.

Inside the RV, I organized and packed the things I bought. Except for the frozen items, I left some of the other items in the RV and put the rest in the storage space.

Then Xu Anran went to the mall and bought a few clothes and shoes to use in the next world. She then went to some stores and bought sportswear, sneakers, blankets, sheets, etc. to put in the RV.

With preparations nearly complete, Xu Anran started driving to gas stations every day to fill up her tank. After filling up, she would use a tool to scoop out the contents, put them in a container, store it in her spatial storage, and then head to the next gas station to refuel.

A month passed in the blink of an eye, and Xu Anran's online space was already filled with five large barrels of oil. She had been paying close attention to the news this month, but there was little information about the flu; she only occasionally saw online reports of people in some foreign cities suffering from severe colds, but the news wasn't widespread.

Today she was able to have precognitive dreams again. In the dream:

People in the neighborhood started catching colds, and medical teams arrived to quarantine the residents. However, the flu wasn't contained, and people in many other areas were also infected, leading to more and more neighborhoods being quarantined. Eventually, the flu broke out throughout the city, and the city was locked down; people couldn't leave, and outsiders weren't allowed to enter.

Panic gripped the city, but it was surrounded by armed forces with roadblocks. Any uprising would be met with gunfire. No one dared to act rashly; they could only plead for help online. Later, the city's internet was jammed, cutting off all contact with the outside world. No more medical personnel arrived, and the entire city was filled with despair, knowing they had been abandoned. Some fought back, trying to escape or send their children away, but these were all shot dead by soldiers outside. Seeing this, some city dwellers became lifeless, like zombies, while others went completely mad, committing daily arson, murder, and looting. The city resembled a living hell.

When Xu Anran woke up in the early morning, she recalled the scene in her dream and became even more certain that she had to escape as soon as possible and could not stay here for long.

She remembered that the lockdown in her dream community happened on December 1st, which means that the flu may have first appeared in her community. So, should she leave now?

No, if the virus appears in this community first, then there might be train tickets here. You can take precautions, avoid contact with people, and look for train tickets in the community first. Whether you find them or not, you can leave before the community is locked down on December 1st.

Once she made up her mind, she bought surveillance cameras and installed them throughout the entire neighborhood to look for suspicious patients, stay away from those patients, and find train tickets.
