Chapter 8: Let the Shopping Frenzy Begin!



After borrowing from every loan platform imaginable, Lin Anran's account suddenly had an extra 1.15 million yuan.

"Phew~ All done! This is definitely faster. Xiaoze, are you all right now?"

"Waaaaah, why are they so hostile towards me, a minor? I only managed to borrow 670,000."

Lin Yu pretended to wipe away his tears, and his aggrieved expression amused the whole family.

Lin's mother rolled her eyes at her silly son: "Alright, stop acting. Quickly borrow some for your father and me too. Every little bit helps now, we can never have too much."

"Alright, I guarantee I'll complete the mission."

Soon, the two threw themselves into the massive project of borrowing money.

While the two of them were working hard, Lin's parents weren't idle either.

Lin's father contacted an agent online and posted the transfer information online. The supermarket's location is pretty good, so there should be news in three or four days.

Lin's mother checked Lin Anran's shopping list, occasionally adding things to it.

Considering that the first natural disaster in the apocalypse is extreme heat, Lin's mother asked, "An'an said that the extreme heat in the apocalypse will cause power outages, so we definitely need to buy some solar panels or generators, and one won't be enough, we need to buy several."

"Honey, I remember you bought a generator from a wholesaler at Zhongyuan Department Store before. It worked quite well. Contact them tomorrow and buy a few more."

Lin's father replied, "Okay, but that's not enough. The generator only provides power. Even with the air conditioning on, it's unbearable to be in the house on such a hot day. We also need to buy insulation panels and high-powered, heat-resistant air conditioners."

"Also, there are soundproof panels. In the apocalypse, there will inevitably be malicious people, so we must be wary of others."

"I agree with what Dad said. Dad, it has to be you. Old ginger is spicier."

Lin Yu gave his father a big thumbs up.

"That's right, don't you even know who I am?"

Lin's mother: "Alright, stop joking around and hurry up and get it done. Go to bed early when you're done. This lady needs her beauty sleep."

"Okay, honey."

Lin's father happily went off to work.

Lin Anran and her companion completed the loan application process very quickly. The four of them borrowed a total of 5.5 million yuan, which was not bad.

When the money from the supermarket transfer arrives, it should be almost done.

Lin Anran suddenly thought of something and said, "The quantity we need to buy is too large. Putting it all into the space at once would make it too conspicuous, so we still need to rent a super large warehouse to store the goods first."

Lin's mother nodded in agreement: "An'an is right. In the apocalypse, the most important thing to guard against is people's hearts. In the last life, An'an was envied by others, which led to her tragic end. In this life, we must keep this secret tightly and not let others hurt our An'an."

Lin's father and Lin Yu nodded vigorously in agreement.

After thinking for a while, Lin's father suddenly thought of a place.

"Leave the warehouse to me. I'll go and check it out tomorrow. Once it's finalized, I'll send the address to the group chat so it'll be convenient for you guys when you go to pick up your goods."

After chatting for a while, the group reorganized the replenished supplies list and sent it to the "Happy Family" group chat.

Lin's mother: "That's all for now. We'll add anything we're missing later."

Lin's father, feeling sorry for his wife, said, "Alright, it's getting late. Let's go to bed early tonight. We'll start our battle together tomorrow."

They all went back to their rooms and lay down on their soft beds, but no one could fall asleep; it all felt so unreal.

Lin Yu tossed and turned, then opened his phone and entered the Tomato Sauce app, frantically absorbing knowledge. "The author really didn't lie to me; I have to download all the post-apocalyptic novels."

Lin's parents worked late into the night, planning tomorrow's route, and split up into two groups.

Lin's father drove alone to rent a warehouse and also contacted a real estate agent to look at available properties.

Lin's mother was responsible for taking her daughter and son to purchase goods.

“We usually get our supplies from Zhongyuan Department Store. The stuff there is cheap and good quality. Honey, take An'an and Xiaoyu there tomorrow to buy supplies. Tell them we're expanding the supermarket. They won't suspect anything.”

"good."

......

Lin Anran wasn't so busy. She lay in bed, thinking about what would happen after the apocalypse.

Extreme heat is followed by torrential rain, so their neighborhood was definitely not safe. Back then, Lin's parents bought a house in this neighborhood without hesitation so that it would be convenient for their beloved daughter to go to school, and they lived there for seven or eight years.

After the torrential rain, the floodwaters spread, forcing them to move upstairs. In order to find a place to stay, they gave their most precious food to their neighbors who lived on the top floor. They could only eat moldy steamed buns and drink rainwater mixed with filth.

Now that she's back, she's determined to prevent this from happening again. She's going to lead her family to victory in the apocalypse.

"It seems I'll have to talk to Mr. and Mrs. Lin about this tomorrow."

All four of them were busy with the apocalypse and didn't sleep a wink all night.

......

The next day, Lin's mother was the first to get up. She made breakfast and then called them to get up one by one.

"Come and eat, we'll set off after we finish eating."

Lin's father yawned: "Yes, we have a lot to do today, eat quickly."

The group quickly finished eating and left without even cleaning up the dishes.

First stop, Zhongyuan Department Store.

Zhongyuan Department Store is not far from the residential area, only a 30-minute drive away. Lin Anran and Lin Yu were not idle on the way; they ordered a lot of things online.

Hot and sour rice noodles, snail rice noodles, mixed noodles, instant noodles in various flavors, potato chips, spicy strips, bread, sunflower seeds...

Cotton-padded clothes, cotton-padded trousers, blankets, electric blankets, cotton-padded shoes, cotton-padded socks, snow boots...

Pepper spray, lifebuoys, stun guns, safety helmets, all kinds of knives...

These physical stores are not as good as online stores; the quality is the same, but the price will be much different.

Lin's mother slammed on the brakes: "We're here, let's start shopping."

"Ouch! Mom, next time you're going to show off, tell me in advance, it hurts so much!" Lin Yu rubbed his forehead, feeling wronged.

"Alright, get off the bus now, don't waste time."

The first thing the three of them needed to buy was the source of life: water.

In the apocalypse, clean water is the most scarce resource, so Lin's mother took the two of them directly to the largest water plant in the area.

"Mr. Liu, are you busy?"

"Oh, I thought it was someone else! It's Mrs. Lin, here to buy some goods. Where's your husband?"

“He had something to do today, so he assigned me two bodyguards, my son and daughter.”

"Mrs. Lin is truly blessed to have both a son and a daughter."

"Alright, Mr. Liu, stop teasing me. The goods I need are on this list. Please prepare them for me while I go look elsewhere."

"Okay, don't worry."

5000 barrels of purified water, 2000 cases of mineral water, 1000 cases of Coca-Cola, 1000 cases of green tea, 1000 cases of jasmine tea, 1000 cases...

Looking at the list in his hand, Boss Liu rubbed his eyes: "So many, are you planning to sell this for the rest of your life?"

"Xiao Zhang, a big order has come in. Go and call more people over to help."

"Okay, boss."
