The car came to a smooth stop in front of the safe house, and Su Yao led her parents into their future refuge.

As soon as Mom and Dad entered the safe house, they began to carefully inspect it. Dad moved from room to room, checking the sturdiness of the walls and the airtightness of the doors and windows. He tapped on the walls, feeling their solid texture, and pushed the windows to check for any signs of looseness. Mom, on the other hand, checked the living area. She opened the cupboards to see if the tableware and daily necessities were complete, and touched the beds to check their comfort and warmth.

After inspecting the room, Dad frowned and said, "The lock on this window needs to be reinforced; it might not hold up in case of a zombie attack. Also, the basement ventilation shaft needs an additional layer of protective netting to prevent anything from getting in." Mom nodded and added, "The kitchen storage space could be expanded; it's not enough for storing more food in the future. And we need to check if there's a spare heating device for the bathroom's hot water supply system; otherwise, it'll be a real problem if it breaks down."

Su Yao listened attentively to her parents' opinions, taking notes as she responded, "Dad, Mom, you're right, we'll start making improvements in a bit." Then, she took out the supplies list and handed it to her parents.

"Mom and Dad, this is our current stockpile of supplies. Please take a look and see if there's anything else we need to replenish. First, regarding food, we have plenty of rice, flour, and cooking oil, so we won't be short of these in the short term. But we also need to stock up on some dry goods that can be stored for a long time, such as dried fungus, shiitake mushrooms, and daylilies. They don't take up much space and can provide nutrition when there are no fresh vegetables. We also need all kinds of canned goods, including canned meat and canned fruit, but we need to pay attention to the expiration dates and check and replace them regularly."

Looking at the list, Mom said, "We need to stock up on salt. It's not just for seasoning; it can also be used in the apocalypse for other purposes, like disinfection. And sugar, it can quickly replenish energy. Oh, and we also need to prepare milk powder; both the elderly and children might need it."

“That’s right, Mom,” Su Yao continued. “As for beverages, besides drinking water, we can stock up on some tea. Tea can not only refresh us, but also be stored for a long time. We can also get some vitamin drinks to supplement vitamin C.”

The father reminded him from the side, "We can't be careless about medicines. In addition to common cold medicines, fever reducers, and anti-inflammatory drugs, we also need medicines for treating external injuries, such as Yunnan Baiyao, iodine, bandages, and gauze. Also, if anyone has a chronic illness, we need to stock up on the relevant medications."

"Dad, I've prepared some common medications for heart disease and high blood pressure, but I need to check the quantity again. Also, we need to stock up on antibiotics; with zombies everywhere, the risk of wound infection is very high," Su Yao said.

"As for daily necessities, we need to stock up on essentials like toilet paper and sanitary napkins, as well as cleaning products such as dish soap and laundry detergent. Maintaining hygiene is very important," Mom said, looking at the list.

"Oh, right, lighting equipment," Dad suddenly said. "Flashlights, candles, and emergency lights all need to have enough spare batteries. They'll be very useful if we run out of power. We also need fire-starting tools: lighters, matches, and it would be best to prepare some magnesium rods so we can start fires in various environments."

"Mom and Dad, we also need weapons and protective gear. We have some guns and ammunition, but we can't be without melee weapons, like long knives and axes. We also need to prepare protective vests and helmets, in case we come into close contact with zombies, they can protect us," Su Yao said earnestly.

"In addition, entertainment items should not be neglected," Mom added. "In the apocalypse, people are under a lot of mental stress, so you need some things to relieve that stress. Simple board games like playing cards and chess, as well as some books, can help you pass the time."

Su Yao nodded: "I have prepared some books on agricultural planting and breeding so that we can try to grow our own grains and raise poultry to achieve a certain degree of self-sufficiency."

The family sat together, carefully studying the supplies list and constantly refining their stockpiling plan. Every detail was related to their survival in the apocalypse. They knew that the more prepared they were, the more chances they would have to survive the impending disaster.
