Chapter 4: Strange Man

Two million and six hundred thousand is still too little.

Four complete sets of outdoor equipment, even if purchased from the club, would cost more than three million, not including expensive wing suits, jet skis and mountain bikes.

Even if the family chipped in a little more, they could only get a little over one million at most.

Jiang Si sighed and suddenly envied Mr. Zhang's ability to make money.

Jiang Si was thinking about where to get the money.

Her eyes flashed, there was a solution!

Jiang Si left the club and rushed to the stock exchange, buying all the shares of Shanglin Pharmaceutical Research and Development Company for 2.6 million.

Today is the 3rd. Tomorrow, Shanglin Pharmaceutical R&D Company will hold a global press conference.

Immediately afterwards, the stock price would soar fivefold.

Then she will have money.

After buying the stocks, Jiang Si rushed to the warehouse.

The three-dimensional circulation planting device has been assembled to the third set.

Jiang Si touched the nutrient soil that had just been put in and asked the foreman: "Can we finish assembling it all today?"

The foreman shook his head. "It still needs to be inspected. It will take at least two more days."

Jiang Si frowned, "Can I double the wages and finish the work tomorrow?"

Jiang Si can only feel at ease if he plants all the crops, vegetables and fruits as soon as possible.

The same amount of work, but the wages have doubled, how can I not do it?

The foreman said happily, "Okay, I can assemble it all for you tomorrow afternoon."

Jiang Si went to another warehouse.

Vehicles are constantly unloading goods, and such a large warehouse is already half full.

The manager in charge saw her and ran over sweating profusely: "Miss Jiang, can you do it alone?"

Jiang Si had only hired him for one day, and when he saw her show up alone, he wanted to earn some extra money.

Jiang Si said calmly, "My employee will be here soon. I'm sorry to bother you today. I've already transferred the money to your WeChat."

The manager showed a hint of disappointment, but when he saw the two thousand yuan Jiang Si transferred, he immediately smiled and said, "Thank you, boss. I'll leave first. Call me if you have anything else."

"good."

As soon as the manager left, Jiang Si turned off all the surveillance cameras around him and put all the things that were transported into the space.

There are so many things, fortunately she can control them with her consciousness, otherwise, she would be exhausted just by organizing them.

More things were delivered to the warehouse one after another, and it was not until the evening that Jiang Si had time to eat.

The night market is lively and prosperous, with shirtless men eating skewers, greedy pet dogs lying at their owners' feet, close couples, steaming hot delicacies... all forming the most beautiful fireworks in the world.

Sadly, all of this will soon be gone.

The boss came over and said, "Beautiful lady, what would you like to order?"

Accustomed to cherishing food, Jiang Si only ordered a bowl of seafood casserole porridge.

After eating and drinking, Jiang Si went home. The packages of medicines he had purchased had already filled up the community duty room.

The security guard enthusiastically helped her carry it up. Seeing the labels on them, all of them were medicines, he couldn't help but ask, "Little girl, why did you buy so many medicines?"

Jiang Si smiled and said, "I'm going back to my hometown. I have a large family and these are all common medicines. The weather has been so unpredictable in the past two years, so it's always beneficial to stock up on some."

Stockpiling medicine at home has become a common practice in recent years. The security guard laughed and said, "The weather is really strange. It's almost 40 degrees Celsius before June. I'll buy some summer medicine for my son later."

"Well, your son is lucky to have a father like you."

"Hehe, having a daughter like you is a real blessing!"

As the security guard was talking, he wanted to introduce his son to her. Jiang Si politely declined and went into the room to rub her numb face.

I haven't talked so much with people in many years. I feel a little uncomfortable.

She peeled off the packaging of the medicine box, threw it into the space, and stuffed it into the corners of the previous items, so as to save a little more space.

In the end times, resources are becoming increasingly scarce, and those without the ability to protect themselves will often be the first to die.

Jiang Si opened Taobao and added self-defense sticks, helmets, high-pressure flamethrowers, bows and arrows, bulletproof vests, pepper spray, gunpowder, sulfur, saltpeter, fuses, machetes, nail guns, animal traps, animal cages, handcuffs, trackers, infrared monitors, drones, and sonar alarms to the shopping cart, and changed the shipping address to the warehouse.

After the weapons were purchased, Jiang Si continued to check for any deficiencies and fill in the gaps.

Outdoor showers, portable toilets, various stationery items, printing presses, telegraphs, calendars, measuring tapes, tapes, hair ties, and other small things that suddenly came to mind.

Discarding daily garbage would cause unnecessary risks, so she chose a garbage disposal.

Some of the creatures that mutated in the apocalypse can be tamed and used as mounts. Jiang Si also selected saddles of various models and fodder that can be stored for a long time.

For lighting, Jiang Si added some fluorescent lamps and fluorescent powder. Fluorescent powder can also be used to track enemies or prey.

If one day they find a peaceful paradise, they will definitely need to build a house.

She also placed orders for some infrastructure materials, including cement, tiles, electrical wires, electric welding, electric drills, steel bars, water pumps, folding beds, hardware tool boxes, plugs, lubricants, trucks, safety nets, transformers, and batteries.

I almost forgot about the most commonly used daily necessities, plastic bags, storage boxes, and sealing machines.

Jiang Si browsed Taobao until three in the morning, adding everything to the shopping cart so he could pay for it when he sold the stocks tomorrow.

His eyelids were sore and he felt a little hungry, so Jiang Si went to the kitchen to cook a bag of instant noodles and fried two eggs.

Just as she was about to enjoy it and watch videos, she thought of something else. She hurriedly opened Taobao, bought a dozen USB flash drives with huge memory, applied for membership of major entertainment websites, and copied human civilization in batches.

After doing all this, the instant noodles were already cold.

Jiang Si was in a good mood while eating.

I will sell the stocks tomorrow afternoon, wait for the supplies to be collected, and then I can take a plane home.

On May 4th, the stock price of Shanglin Pharmaceutical Research and Development Co., Ltd. soared, and Jiang Si was not surprised.

The stock manager called her excitedly, saying that the 2.6 million she invested had increased fivefold and would continue to grow.

Jiang Si replied: "Please help me throw it all out now."

The stock manager's shocked voice came: "Now is the time for the market to rise. Even if you want to sell, it would be best to wait for two days."

Jiang Si couldn't afford to delay, and what's more, Shanglin Pharmaceutical R&D Company would soon be questioned by the outside world, causing its stock price to hit the limit down.

"I need it urgently, let's sell it."

The stock manager felt it was a pity, but he could make a lot of money from his commission now. "Okay, I'll take care of it now!"

It’s fast when someone is responsible, and the money arrived in my account that afternoon.

In the next three days, Jiang Si exchanged 10 million gold bars, rented a helicopter, and stayed in the warehouse to collect supplies, or entered the space to soak seeds and seedlings.

On May 7, she checked out of her apartment with the landlord and couldn't wait to go home.

As soon as I got on the plane, a strange man suddenly sat next to me.

The weather was so hot that it was almost smoking. He was dressed tightly, with gloves, a mask, and sunglasses, covering himself tightly.

With his tall and slender figure and deep facial features, the first impression he gives people is that he is a handsome guy.

The two girls behind Jiang Si were whispering, wondering which big star he was.

Jiang Si glanced twice subconsciously, then raised his head and instantly felt as if he was being stared at by a wild beast.
