Chapter 2 Big Shopping Spree



"I choose the small base vehicle."

"Ding-dong!" The system notification sounded: "Selection successful!"

Next, Yuan Chuyi looked at the various functions of the system.

The system used to be upgradable; the current system interface consists of four empty squares.

There's also a special box below containing a picture of a mobile base vehicle with the words: "Conjuration requires gold."

So, it turns out that you need gold coins to realize something!

Yuan Chuyi looked at the system space again. In one corner, there was a wooden sword lying alone. This must be the wooden sword from the newbie gift pack.

Yuan Chuyi examined the wooden sword he had taken out of his spatial dimension. The sword was about 60 centimeters long and two inches wide, and it was very hard. It was completely black and looked very small and agile.

With a meow, a silver shaded cat appeared beside him, rubbing its cute little head against him.

Yuan Chu was stunned for a moment before remembering that he also had a cat. In his previous life, he worked at the police station until the apocalypse broke out, and later he escaped to a nearby hotel.

No one knows what happened to the cat after that. Looking at the cat she hadn't seen for five years, Yuan Chuyi picked it up and hugged it.

"My little treasure, I don't know what happened to you in the last life, or whether you mutated. But don't worry, I will take you to explore the apocalypse in this life."

Thinking about this, Yuan Chuyi felt that she should use these two days to quickly prepare something.

He checked his bank account balance on his phone; he had a little over 70,000 yuan left, which seemed a bit low. Now that he had system space, he had to hurry and stockpile supplies before the apocalypse arrived.

Now that we have Yuanbao, another cat, we need to buy cat food, canned cat food, cat treats, and cat litter, which will cost quite a bit. After thinking it over, I've decided to make some money first.

So he went online with his phone and borrowed money from every major online lending platform! Finally, he called the company's finance department.

"Hello, Sister Liu, this is Yuan Chuyi. I would like to ask when our company's commission for the first half of the year will be paid?"

What?

It won't be ready until next week! Can you give it to me today? I need it urgently! Okay, I'll go ask Mr. Tang!

Seeing the 250,000 yuan notification in the text message on my phone, I felt a little more at ease. But then I realized that the apocalypse was coming the day after tomorrow, and I didn't have much time left, so I needed to hurry.

Before leaving the house, Yuan Chuyi put out some cat food and water for the cat and said to Yuanbao, "Stay home and be good. I'll go get you some food."

After going downstairs, Yuan Chu drove the secondhand Jetta he had bought at the used car market to the city's largest supermarket.

While driving, Yuan Chu called President Tang, but in his heart he was thinking that he had just seen President Tang's body and now he was calling her again. He wondered if Tang Yan, that little woman, would agree to help.

Suddenly, a sweet voice came through the receiver, "Hello, Yuan Chuyi, I was just about to ask you that, what did you mean by what you said to me when you left today? Do you know something about it?"

Yuan Chuyi quickly interrupted, saying, "President Tang, I have something I'd like to ask you for help with. Could you talk to the finance department and see if you can give me my commission for the first half of the year in advance?"

Mr. Tang said firmly, "First, explain to me what you meant by what you said when you left today? What did you mean by 'it rained heavily on September 3rd'?"

Yuan Chuyi said lazily, "It means exactly what it says."

Mr. Tang said with a puzzled look, "I checked the weather forecast, and there's no rain expected for the next few days. Tell me what you mean, and I'll call the finance department right away!"

"Mr. Tang, I need to go to the supermarket to buy some things. I'm really short of money."

Mr. Tang said, "How much are you planning to buy? You don't even have a few hundred yuan? Who are you trying to fool? You won't tell me, huh? Fine, then."

Hearing the busy tone on the phone, Yuan Chu shook his head and smiled wryly, "Just as I thought."

Yuan Chu hung up the phone, carefully observed the surrounding environment, and then parked the car in a blind spot of the surveillance cameras in the supermarket's underground parking lot.

I thought to myself: This will make it easier for me to put supplies into my space. I'll try to spend all my money in this supermarket today.

Yuan Chuyi was still making plans when his phone buzzed. He picked it up and saw that it was a bank card deposit notification. Seeing that there was an additional 50,000 yuan in his account, a smile appeared on his lips.

In the supermarket, everyone watched as a young man pulled two shopping carts filled with all sorts of canned goods: beef, pork, fish, chicken, luncheon meat—basically, he emptied all the canned goods off the shelves wherever he went.

Yuan Chuyi took what he needed without paying any attention to the strange looks around him.

While queuing to pay, the cashier's hands trembled as she swiped Yuan Chuyi's credit cards one after another.

Yuan Chuyi thought to himself: Swipe away, swipe away as much as you want, and I'll use my bank card when I've maxed it out.

In a corner of the parking lot, Yuan Chuyi slowly loaded the purchased supplies into his car, his eyes scanning the surroundings. Whenever no one was around, he would quickly store some of the supplies into his system space.

Pushing two shopping carts, Yuan Chuyi entered the supermarket again, thinking to herself: In the early days of the apocalypse, the water is undrinkable. With the arrival of rainwater, the tap water system will be polluted! Drinking polluted water will easily make you sick.

In the apocalypse, getting sick was almost a death sentence. I remember that it was only a month after the apocalypse that the human body's overall physical condition improved and the situation began to improve.

And so, the drinking water from the two shopping carts was moved to the space again.

The cycle repeated itself, and Yuan Chuyi kept buying things until evening, even eating a few pieces of bread for lunch on the train.

Suddenly, Yuan Chuyi, who was still frantically shopping in the supermarket, felt someone tap her on the shoulder. She turned around and saw President Tang. "What, it's you?"

Mr. Tang laughed and said, "Didn't you ask me to prepare some supplies? Here I am, preparing them."

Looking at Yuan Chuyi's two shopping carts full of food, President Tang exclaimed in surprise, "Why did you buy so much stuff? Aren't you afraid it will expire?"

Tang Yan thought to herself: I've known Yuan Chuyi for several years now, and he's usually very composed! Why is he acting like a completely different person today?

Could it be that he really knows something others don't? It's only been a few days anyway! I might as well trust him this once.

Tang Yan then took another shopping cart into the supermarket. After consulting with Yuan Chuyi, she also bought two carts full of canned food, bottled water, instant noodles, and other items. At the checkout, Tang Yan quickly paid for Yuan Chuyi's cart as well!

The two then went to the parking lot.

Tang Yan first helped Yuan Chuyi load the items into her car, then pushed the remaining two shopping carts to her own large van and put the items inside.

Yuan Chuyi thought to herself: Anyway, the space is already more than half full, so I might as well help President Tang move things. After going back and forth a few more times, both cars were almost full.

During this time, Tang Yan observed Yuan Chuyi's expression several times, noticing that he didn't seem distressed at all. The fact that a normal person could purchase such a large quantity of supplies based solely on a single piece of information only demonstrates one thing: the credibility of the information.

"Yuan Chuyi, look how late it is! You've been helping me move things the whole time. You must be starving. Come on, let me treat you to a midnight snack!"

"No, Mr. Tang, you should go back now! There's enough stuff for you to carry home for a while."

"By the way, where do you live in the first year of junior high?"

"I live in Pinghu Community."

Tang Yan asked again, "Which floor?"

"I live on the 7th floor."

Tang Yan said, "If I remember correctly, Pinghu Community is an old community, so it probably doesn't have elevators. How about this?"

"Just leave all your stuff with me. It'll be easier to move things around that way, and you won't have to carry it upstairs floor by floor. With all this stuff, you'll be carrying it until the wee hours of the morning!"

Yuan Chuyi quickly declined, saying, "No need, Mr. Tang. I'll just consider it practice."

Tang Yan said, "It's okay! I live alone; my parents are abroad! My neighborhood is quiet and not crowded."

"Which neighborhood are you in, Mr. Tang?"

"Qilin Huating!"

Is it on the northern hillside?

"Yes, that's it."

Which floor?

"Three-story buildings with four floors, penthouse apartments."

When Yuan Chu thought about how the entire city was almost flooded in his previous life, only a few residential areas on higher ground were spared, including Qilin Huating.

The key point is that Qilin Huating is located halfway up the mountain, which is the best place for development in the early stages of the apocalypse.

Yuan Chuyi pretended to think for a moment and said, "Alright, but I need to go out tomorrow and would like to borrow your car."

Tang Yan smiled and said, "Of course, no problem!"

The two then drove to Qilin Huating.

Half an hour later, Yuan Chuyi observed Tang Yan's small villa. It was four stories high, with the first and second floors belonging to one family with a garden, and the third and fourth floors belonging to one family with a rooftop terrace.

The two then parked the car in the garage and used the elevator to move all the supplies into the room.

Yuan Chuyi first looked around in the living room. The downstairs area was about 100 square meters, with one bedroom, one bathroom, and one kitchen. While Yuan Chuyi was still observing, she heard President Tang say:

"Yuan Chuyi, you can stay downstairs, I'll stay upstairs. It's too late today, so you should both wash up and rest early."

"Understood, Mr. Tang."

At night, lying in bed, Yuan Chuyi thought about the important events, times, and places that happened in the apocalypse of her previous life, and fell asleep without realizing it.
