Chapter 5 Stockpiling
Time passed unknowingly, and a batch of supplies began to arrive.
The temperature in Chuncheng still hasn't dropped. I continue to follow the news, but they are just reports with no results. The huge sun is still hanging in the sky, constantly emitting its last energy.
Most people are busy living their own lives and don't pay much attention to this weird weather. At most, they complain a few times about this horrible weather.
Tang Tian was wearing sunglasses and drinking ice-cold lemonade while refueling her van.
The van could hold dozens of liters of fuel at once, so running back and forth between home and the warehouse didn't cost much. She would put any leftovers into a fuel drum and store them in the system's warehouse.
Tang Yi must have raised the price for the new house, so the renovation team was working overtime every day. It must be said that money can really help.
All the stocks were sold, the mortgage payment for the house was successfully disbursed, and Wei Mingxia's salary for this month was also given to Tang Tian for her to arrange.
With a large fortune, Tang Tian stockpiled not only fuel but also water. Not only did she buy up water from all the nearby water stations, she also expanded her reach to other areas, collecting any water delivered to her door at different times and storing it in her system.
She also bought all the supplies the hardware store would have, following the store's instructions. Hardware stores want big clients like these, those who can earn three years out of a single order and offer exceptional service.
I also bought a batch of large-capacity hard drives, each of which was filled with various reference books and entertainment series. One reason was that I could learn what I didn't know, and the other was that it was an extra entertainment during the end of the world.
Antifreeze and anticoagulant are bought specifically for fuel. When it gets extremely cold, even if you have fuel on hand, it may be destroyed by the low temperature and cannot be used.
Although the state of the fuel will not change when it is stored in the system, Tang Tian thought that it would be of great use in the future, so he prepared a batch of it.
She originally wanted to stop stockpiling for a while, but she accidentally discovered supplies such as oxygen masks and oxygen cylinders. Thinking that she might have an emergency, Tang Tian also stockpiled them.
After that, she continued to receive goods and even drove her own van to the rented warehouse.
After checking that there were no cameras, she quietly went deeper and began to store a batch of supplies into the system warehouse.
As she thought, the system warehouse can place the materials tightly together, and she doesn't need to do it manually, just use her mind.
Tang Tian returned home after leaving the supplies outside for demonstration purposes.
Unexpectedly, Tang Yi also came back, but her eyes were red. After asking, it turned out that she finally discovered Jiang Yao's other side.
But Tang Yi didn't rush to break up, instead she quietly gathered evidence, then pointed it out directly before breaking up and blocking him. It was just that after all, she had loved him before, and it would take time for her to recover.
Tang Tian thought that Jiang Yao would definitely come again, and since she also wanted to check on the progress of the renovation of the new house, she decided to find a suitable time for them to go.
…
Unexpectedly, as soon as Tang Tian received the goods, he and Tang Yi went to the new house.
The name of the community is "Hexinyuan" and it has a total of 30 buildings.
Tang Yi originally chose to buy a house here because of the good environment and facilities, and its proximity to the old house and Tang Tian's rented house.
Taking the elevator to Building 15, Room 1701 where Tang Yi's house is located, there are only two households on the first floor of Hexinyuan's building, which also makes Tang Tian satisfied.
Although it is impossible for their family to live alone, in the apocalypse, the fewer neighbors the better, otherwise the uncertainty will be too great.
The door of 1701 was wide open, and looking inside, the house was almost completed.
Because they used only the finest materials, there was no pungent odor. Some people were still busy inside, and Tang Yi chatted familiarly with the one who seemed to be the leader.
The previously planned defense materials, floor heating, and ventilation ducts were all in place. The renovation team hadn't been so quick to begin with, and they were a bit grumbling and confused, but ultimately, due to their financial resources, they sped things up.
Tang Yi readily paid the balance and even gave them red envelopes and cigarettes. The decoration team's expressions eased a little, and they left the house after finishing their work.
After closing the door, Tang Tian took out several air purifiers from the system warehouse and placed them in various rooms.
Because Tang Yi was also connected to the system, she could also use it together.
These days, she also took the time to go to the old house, take away some of the furniture there, and put it away again, saving some money.
By the way, some express items are still being sent to the old house and stored there. Wei Mingxia can also help pick them up and store them in the system.
During this period, many people made appointments to come to their homes to install the equipment or to help deliver it. The two sisters have been busy with these things these days.
The titanium alloy anti-theft door is also equipped with a latch, anti-theft chain and door blocker;
The entire balcony is equipped with anti-theft windows, a canopy for collecting water, and a one-way visual film on the glass; a hidden, non-network and non-electrical surveillance camera is installed at the door.
Install a cast iron and steel plate real fire fireplace in the living room, which can not only burn fire but also heat things.
The smallest room was set aside as a constant temperature chamber. Tang Tian walked in and saw that it was similar to what she had imagined. They only had to start planting.
There are also other electrical appliances, such as cooling and heating appliances, which were all stockpiled by Tang Tian before.
In addition, lighting appliances, cleaning appliances, kitchen appliances, daily care appliances, and entertainment appliances are also indispensable.
Tang Yi's remaining money was originally intended for this house, but now it has all been used up, and Tang Tian's savings have also run out.
But the former thought about it and suddenly came up with an idea:
"Tiantian, we only have a little over half of our time left. Why don't we go to the bank and apply for a credit card? In the apocalypse, overdue payments don't matter anymore. Let's spend the money first, how about that?"
Yes, this wool, why didn’t she think of it?
The sisters had never used a credit card, but they could get several from every bank. Given their income and credit, they should definitely be able to apply for a gold card or higher!
Tang Tian was excited when she thought about this, but she also told Tang Yi about the idea of taking advantage of the car dealership.
Tang Yi also had a driver's license, so she agreed readily and contacted the car dealership directly.
The two were making plans when they suddenly heard someone knocking on the door anxiously and shouting:
"Xiaoyi! I know you're here! Can't we discuss what's going on?"
When Tang Tian and Tang Yi heard this voice, their faces instantly fell.
Because that was Jiang Yao's voice.
Tang Tian read the evidence that Tang Yi found privately, and she didn't expect that Jiang Yao's cheating had a long history.
Jiang Yao is actually also a self-media person and is a colleague of Tang Yi.
It's true that he fell in love with the latter at first sight, and after pursuing her, they officially started dating, and Tang Yi boosted his popularity, so for a while he could be called a winner in life. But later, relying on his good looks and having no shortage of girls around him, he soon felt a little bored.
However, Tang Yi was not only good-looking, but also rich. Jiang Yao had liked the former after all, so he was reluctant to break up with her, so he simply kept it a secret.
On the one hand, he spent Tang Yi's money, on the other hand, he chatted and flirted with other girls. It was only now that they were talking about marriage that he restrained himself.
It seems outrageous, but this kind of thing is not uncommon nowadays.
Tang Tian had no idea how Tang Yi had gathered the evidence, but based on her understanding of her sister, it shouldn't have been difficult. She just hadn't expected Jiang Yao's acting skills to be so good, fooling even her past self.
I am also thankful that in this life Tang Yi discovered the truth in advance and was able to eliminate all the unfavorable factors early on.
Even this new house was basically paid for by Tang Yi. But they chose it together at that time, so they knew the address and came to visit again.
Tang Tian winked at Tang Yi. She knew this would happen, so she went to open the door herself.
Jiang Yao was happy at first when he saw the door open, but when he looked closely and saw that it was Tang Tian, his face immediately darkened.
He and Tang Yi have already met Wei Mingxia, who also had a good impression of him. So the reason for being blocked must be related to Tang Tian, who was good at turning a deaf ear to others!
Although he thought he had been discovered and felt a little guilty, he had finally found such a high-quality partner like Tang Yi, so how could he let her go easily?
So facing Tang Tian, he still forced a smile and asked:
"Tang Tian, is your sister here? There must be some misunderstanding between us. Just talk it out."
Tang Tian sneered:
"Misunderstanding? How long do you want to hide this from my sister? We have evidence in our hands now! We're breaking up to give you dignity, don't be ungrateful!"
As soon as she saw Jiang Yao, she remembered his cowardly appearance in her previous life.
Later, with Tang's father's encouragement, he even dared to attack Tang Yi! At that time, Tang Tian had used a hidden kitchen knife to threaten him, otherwise the situation would have been much more serious.
If it weren't for the fact that we still live in a society ruled by law, she would have wanted to kill the person in front of her with this knife to avoid any other trouble in the future.
Jiang Yao's expression changed slightly, and he lost his patience with Tang Tian.
Knowing that Tang Yi was in the house, he, who was already tall and strong, reached out to push her open and let her in:
"Xiaoyi, I—"
Before she finished her words, Tang Tian immediately took out something from her clothes and sprayed it at Jiang Yao's face. It was the pepper spray she bought.
The burning sensation caused by the spray on his face and eyes was definitely enough to make him drink a pot of wine.
“Ahhhhhhh!!——”
Jiang Yao's face felt irritated and burning, and he couldn't help but sit down on the ground and howl loudly. His eyes soon became red and swollen, and tears came out. He coughed so hard that his nose and saliva were all over.
"Fuck, Tang Tian, are you crazy?! Damn it, you were the one who said bad things about me in front of Xiaoyi, right? I'm not done with you for this!"
Tang Yi came forward with a cold face. She saw clearly the scene where Jiang Yao tried to push Tang Tian just now.
Seeing Jiang Yao's embarrassed look again, he spat and said:
"Jiang Yao, I know all about your mess. I'm breaking up with you to save your face. If you really want to break up, that's up to you. I have the time and wherewithal!"
Jiang Yao choked. He knew that what Tang Yi said was true, so he just wiped his face casually, stood up, looked at the two of them hatefully, and left in shame.
Tang Yi sighed. Tang Tian warned:
"Sister, I don't think he'll give up. Take the pepper spray I bought with you. It can't cause any real harm, so it's perfect for dealing with people right now."
Of course, if Jiang Yao still seeks trouble after the apocalypse, it won't just be a matter of defending against wolves...
The safe house is complete, and now all that's left is to let the smell out and air it out. You can apply for a credit card online, and it should take no more than a week.
Tang Tian and Tang Yi split up into two groups. The latter went to the car dealership to rent a car and started stockpiling fuel, while the former planned to stockpile the last supplies - food.
In terms of food, rice and flour must be bought. Vegetables, fruits, meat, eggs, etc., as long as they can be stored in the system, must be stockpiled in case of emergency.
Some can be wholesaled online, but for some supplies, you may have to go to other offline places where you can get them cheaper.
Tang Tian drove his own car to the agricultural product wholesale market in Chuncheng.
