After leaving the crowd, Zuo Ling went to the parking lot outside Rong Department Store, where she planned to rent a truck to avoid being seen.

After looking around, they quickly found a van.

Rent the car for 4000 yuan a day and return it before 6 pm.

The procedure is simple: just provide your ID card and pay a deposit of 10,000 yuan.

After renting a car, we returned to the first floor of Rong Department Store.

No one tried it, and many of the people who had gathered to watch the portable biodegradable toilet dispersed, leaving the staff looking helpless.

Zuo Ling stepped forward: "I'll buy one."

The staff were surprised; they had been displaying the products for three days and hadn't sold a single one. Finally, someone with discerning eyes had recognized their value.

"Okay, okay, please pay here." The staff member's voice was trembling.

Zuo Ling bought an additional 2,000 yuan worth of degradation agent, which the staff helped deliver to the truck.

Put the toilet away and move on to the clothing section.

Although there were still more than 30 million in the account, Zuo Ling did not dare to squander it. She didn't know how much it would cost to collect energy crystals.

We have sportswear sets for spring, summer, autumn and winter, 200 sets per season, and we've ordered some in various colors.

Sportswear is suitable for all ages and is economical.

In the apocalypse, there's no need for flamboyant attire or attention-grabbing displays; in fact, such things can endanger lives.

With constant natural disasters, various creative ways of escaping are needed, and shoes are the most consumed item; 500 pairs of thick and thin athletic shoes are needed.

I chose brand-name sportswear and shoes, mainly because brand-name products are guaranteed in quality, have good styles, are durable, and are priced between 300 and 800 yuan.

Compared to Zuo Ling, who lives on a salary, Zuo Ling is now considered extravagant.

Even if it's her own money, she thinks 200 yuan is too expensive!

300 windproof jackets.

You won't know until you buy it; there are so many things to consider when buying a small windbreaker.

Available in soft-shell, hard-shell, and three-in-one versions.

Softshell is for spring and summer, hardshell is for autumn and winter.

The three-in-one is a bit more complicated, consisting of an inner tube and an outer jacket, which can be separated or combined, making it economical and practical.

Zuo Ling bought 100 items each.

100 pieces each of thick and thin thermal underwear.

50 pairs of thick, snow-resistant boots and 100 pairs of warm cotton shoes.

Zuo Ling bought 100 pairs of snow boots at an outdoor gear store, but none of them were as nice as these.

Although she wasn't particular about appearances, she was still a woman, and loving beauty was in her nature, so she unusually bought some items repeatedly.

The cotton shoes took some effort to make; they were one of the few leather items Zuo Ling had purchased, all of them thick-heeled, mid-length leather boots.

Without boots, wind and snow can easily get in, while long boots are bulky and hinder movement.

Mid-length or long, perfect for home or escaping.

When it comes to life and death, I only buy the best down jackets and pants; I won't even look at anything under 3,000 yuan.

I need 20 pieces of each of the long, medium, and short styles.

Zuo Ling is not considering fur coats or similar items.

Wearing such flashy clothes in the apocalypse would only make her a target for others; she doesn't have the absolute strength to protect herself.

100 sets of cashmere sweaters and trousers.

Underwear, scarves, gloves, socks, slippers—enough to last 20 years.

Small items are easy to deal with, but if humans don't have the ability to cope with various natural disasters in 20 years, they don't deserve to live.

Buying too much is a waste!

In terms of clothing, Zuo Ling buys very limited items, both in terms of category and style.

Carefully controlling the budget, after calculating the total, it came to 1.76 million.

Zuo Ling clicked her tongue in amazement. Without the Ding family's sponsorship, she wouldn't even be able to afford clothes.

For large quantities of goods, ask the merchant to help deliver them to the truck; for smaller quantities, Zuo Ling can carry them herself.

You can easily move the car into the space without even having to move it.

There are too many people coming and going at Rong Department Store, including many business owners with assets of tens of millions or even hundreds of millions.

Zuo Ling wasn't worried at all that anyone would notice her, a nobody.

When the time is almost up, walk around Rong Department Store once, then return the car to its owner.

Then they moved on to the Mianfang District.

We need 20 quilts each weighing 4 jin, 6 jin, 8 jin, and 10 jin.

Five down comforters and five camel hair comforters.

Zuo Ling prefers cotton quilts, down quilts, and camel hair quilts to enrich her bed life.

She has space, so unless there's an emergency, her belongings won't be lost.

If you don't have enough funds, there's no need to hoard so much.

There are 20 blankets. Zuo Ling likes to sleep on blankets in winter because they are comfortable and warm.

50 pieces of four-piece bed sheet and back cover set.

As a seasoned thrifty person, I can use a set of bedding for at least 5 years, and even 10 years if it is not damaged.

She didn't plan to settle the bill; 50 four-piece sets would be enough for 70 years.

The total cost was 119,000 yuan.

The cheapest and most practical cotton quilt made Zuo Ling think about stockpiling cotton.

In the end times, cotton has been completely lost.

Stockpiling some cotton should allow us to exchange it for the supplies we need from the government.

Rong Department Store, being a comprehensive supermarket, easily found a cotton supplier.

She chose the New South Wales cotton shop.

I bought some of both cheap and expensive ones, at an average price of 100 tons.

Cotton gauze is 3000 yuan/ton, and we ordered 20 tons.

In the post-apocalyptic world, medical supplies are extremely scarce, and cotton gauze is considered a medical supply.

Cotton and cotton gauze were the only resources Zuo Ling bought to exchange for benefits with the government.

She has limited funds, so she can't stockpile more even if she wants to.

After paying the bill and agreeing on a delivery time and place with the store, I casually asked if they sold cotton seeds.

Just then, another customer wanted to buy seeds, and the shopkeeper brought some for him.

Zuo Ling ordered a lot of goods, so the shopkeeper gave her a pack of each item without charging her.

After leaving the cotton mill area, I glanced at the balance in my account.

29.44 million...

I've already spent too much of my ex-husband's money, so now I'm spending the Ding family's money. Thank you again to the Ding family for their generosity!
