Chapter 2 Stocking Up

Since God has given her the chance to be reborn, she must seize it.

Now they have a lot to do, especially before the end of the world, they need to stock up on supplies needed for natural disasters.

To purchase supplies, the prerequisite is of course a lot of money!

Tang Tian said decisively:

"Mom, I was just thinking about this. If it's feasible... I want to mortgage our old house."

Her light words were like a bolt of thunder.

The old house has been used by the two sisters for more than 20 years. If nothing unexpected happens, it will also be an asset for Wei Mingxia to use for her retirement in the future.

Selling the house in three months wasn't certain to succeed. So Tang Tian thought, why not just mortgage it? Given their reputation, it might be even smoother than selling the house.

At least Wei Mingxia and Tang Yi have temporarily believed what he said, and Tang Tian can also conduct discussions more smoothly.

The former knew that the old house was an important source of property, so he took the initiative to propose:

"Tiantian, I happen to know someone at the bank. Why don't you let Mom handle the mortgage?"

Tang Tian's eyes lit up. Mortgaging a house would take at least two weeks, with no upper or lower limit. If someone she knew could help, the money might come in much faster. She immediately agreed to the proposal.

Although she couldn't digest too much information at once and her thoughts were a bit confused, Wei Mingxia knew that time was running out, so she picked up her bag and went out.

However, Tang Yi had her own questions and couldn't help asking:

"Tiantian, after the apocalypse...what happened to our family? And Jiang Yao, are we separated and not together in the apocalypse?"

But when this person was mentioned, Tang Tian's face turned ugly.

Jiang Yao is Tang Yi's current boyfriend, who was recently promoted to her fiancé. He has even met his parents, and the final step is just around the corner.

They had chosen to get their marriage certificate before the Lunar New Year, but then the natural disaster struck. It happened to be the Lunar New Year celebration for the whole family, and Jiang Yao also came to visit.

However, the temperature dropped overnight and hailstorms occurred. Subsequent natural disasters became more and more serious, so Jiang Yao had a reason to stay at the Tang family.

He eats and uses things from the Tang family, but he always finds excuses not to participate in the self-help actions in the community. It is always Tang Yi and Tang Tian who go.

Later, the situation became even worse. Tang Tian and Tang Yi's scumbag father, who had cheated on their daughter and left them with nothing, had not been in contact for nearly ten years, but somehow found out the address of the new house and actually brought his whole family to their house.

In private, no one knew what sweet talk he said to Wei Mingxia, but the latter, considering his young children and the natural disaster, actually agreed to Tang's father's request to stick together for survival.

However, the horrific natural disasters have gradually transformed the human world into a completely alienated place. As a result, the direction of the Tang family has slowly begun to change - the men have begun to take the lead.

At this moment, like a radiating network, the order of the entire society is slowly collapsing, and the situation of the Tang family is not a special case.

Among them, Tang Tian fought the hardest for her mother and sister. However, due to lack of supplies, she could not leave home during the extreme natural disaster and had to fight alone.

In the later stages, the true faces of Tang's father and Jiang Yao became more apparent. They worked together to force her, who still had the strength to be used, to go out and look for supplies.

They also ignored Wei Mingxia and Tang Yi who were sick, causing the three of them to be broken both physically and mentally.

After hearing this, Tang Yi's face turned pale as paper.

The most striking thing was her red eyes. She really couldn't imagine that someone who treated her so well in the past would be so cruel after the end of the world, and even caused her mother and sister to suffer so much.

"Sister, I've said everything I need to say, and I won't lie to you. In short, you should be more careful about Jiang Yao recently. It's best to find out more quietly and make sure you can break it off. We don't need outsiders in this life!"

Tang Tian's tone was a bit harsh, but compared to the end of the world, everything else was nothing.

…

After giving Tang Yi some time to calm down, she started to manage the funds around her on her own.

Tang Tian and Tang Yi are both engaged in self-media. They were very popular a few years ago and their websites also generated considerable revenue.

Tang Yi is a food blogger, and she is a food broadcaster, so the bulk of her expenses are basically all on various delicacies, and the rest are saved.

Tang Tian is now a popular anchor with hundreds of thousands of followers online. Besides platform rewards, various online promotions and advertising partnerships also bring her a steady stream of income.

A look at several bank cards showed that there was a deposit of more than two million yuan.

This is a number that an ordinary person probably cannot save in a lifetime, but when it comes to stockpiling supplies for decades, it is nothing compared to it.

In addition, there are the stocks that he bought with Tang Yi, and the gold that his family had bought before, but if all of these were sold together, they would probably only be worth a few hundred thousand at most.

Tang Yi came back to her senses at this time, and joined in, but she frowned again with worry.

She had just used her savings to buy a new house, which she also intended to use as her wedding house. Now there is not much money left in her savings. She wondered if it would be enough to stock up on things?

In their previous life, during the New Year, they went to the new house and stayed there ever since.

However, Tang Tian thought that the new house would be perfect as their safe house.

When Tang Yi bought a house, Tang Tian also went with her to see the property. The sisters have always had a good relationship, so she also knew what kind of house it was.

Tang Yi's blogging career was much better than his own, and he'd even participated in award ceremonies held by websites. However, Spring City's housing prices were well-known nationwide, so it wasn't something one could just buy if they wanted.

After careful selection, I decided to buy the house. It was located on the 17th floor and the nearby business district had complete facilities, which was probably enough to deal with dozens of meters deep snow and floods.

The new house was already half-decorated, and Tang Yi's remaining savings were used to pay the balance and buy furniture.

But this was not enough for Tang Tian. She had to discuss it with the original decoration team, or simply find a new company to overturn most of the previous decoration plan and redo it.

Tang Yi sighed:

"Okay, but I'm not sure how you want to pretend. Give me an idea first, and then I'll find someone."

Tang Tian was the only one who had experienced the apocalypse, so what else could he do? Of course he would listen to her.

All the burdens were instantly placed on the former.

However, since they can split into three groups, the latter plans to plan the decoration of the safe house first.

She only survived extreme cold and floods and died from extreme heat, so the room must be made of cold-proof and heat-insulating materials, and floor heating must be installed. It would be best if there were also heating equipment with pipes connecting to the outside.

And there are various subsequent equipment and facilities...but these can be purchased later, but the above cannot be done later, and time is still very tight.

Tang Yi looked at the plan, said nothing more, and left home in a hurry.

…

After taking a big sip of mint milk tea, Tang Tian turned on her computer and started stocking up.

But she suddenly thought, what if she has no place to put the large amount of supplies?

Moreover, not all supplies can be purchased online, and sometimes offline shopping is even cheaper. She is not a billionaire, so how to spend the money still needs to be considered.

So the first thing she should do before stocking up is to rent a warehouse and a car.

Thinking of this, Tang Tian hurriedly searched on the web.

I rented a large warehouse not far from the new house, and a small van as the car, which was cheaper and had a larger capacity - fortunately I had a driver's license.

After making the contact online, Tang Tian simply sorted out the situation and went out to check on the scene.

Nowadays, storage warehouses are charged according to area, basically 1 yuan per square meter. The larger the area, the better the discount.

After seeing that there were value-added services such as logistics and distribution, Tang Tian quickly signed the contract and rented for three months.

Then he went to a car rental company and rented a van. Cars can be rented by day, week, or month. Tang Tian naturally chose the latter, which cost about two thousand five hundred yuan a month.

But when she heard the staff say that long-term rental would only cost about two thousand yuan per month, she became interested.

When the extreme cold arrives and everyone starts to fight for survival, who will remember that the car has not been returned? Wouldn't it be possible to buy it for free?

So she immediately changed her mind and asked for a long-term lease - first rent for three months of a quarter, and then renew the contract after the expiration.

Of course, freeloaders aren't easily satisfied. Tang Tian decided to wait until the deadline was almost up before trying to get some freebies.

The Tang family had never owned a car, so they had no parking space. Luckily, there was a public parking lot not far from the community where Tang Tian rented her house. She drove over, paid the parking fee, and was able to park.

After finishing it in one go, Tang Tian was hungry when she returned to her apartment. She continued eating the takeout she had ordered for lunch and opened the webpage again.

In the apocalypse, she was used to consuming very few calories to accomplish the most. Not to mention the dictatorial father, Tang Tian, ​​who only gave his children what he could squeeze out of food. The food Tang Tian and her friends had wasn't even enough to sustain their lives.

So when she saw the rich and delicious food in front of her, although she couldn't stop drooling, she kept her nerves tense and did the most important thing first.

The warehouse has been rented and supplies can be stored in it, but how can the supplies be transferred to you in the end?

The amount that can be put into the warehouse is not enough even in the new house.

Tang Tian fell into deep thought for a moment.

However, at this moment, the system's voice suddenly sounded:

"Host, I don't think I've told you yet that this system has its own warehouse, right?"

Tang Tian was stunned, then suddenly surprised and asked:

"real?"

"Of course it's true. It's just that you haven't officially activated this system yet, so I can't explain it in detail. Otherwise, you would have known it long ago!"

For some reason, the system's voice sounded more humane, with a hint of complaint, grievance, and helplessness.

Tang Tian scratched her head embarrassedly:

"So... start it now?"

After all, it is my own golden finger, so I have to study it before the natural disaster comes.

The system replied promptly:

"Okay, host! Beep beep beep... The system is starting up. Please wait patiently for 10 seconds..."

Ten seconds later, a vertical color screen appeared in front of Tang Tian's eyes, with words underneath:

【Shop】【Cooking】【Ingredients】【Shopping Street】

The system's voice also sounded:

"Welcome host to the system! As a gourmet cooking system, naturally, making delicious food is the most important thing!"

"However, in order to allow you to create more delicious dishes, the system also includes a simple small gourmet shop. Make dishes and sell them in the gourmet shop to earn gold coins, which can be used to purchase new ingredients, recipes, and equipment. It's very simple!"

"Host, would you like to start the tutorial now? It won't take you too long, and after the tutorial, even if you don't use the system anymore, there won't be any serious consequences!"

When Tang Tian heard this, she went along with it and nodded in agreement.

"Okay, host, the tutorial will begin now!"
