Chapter 3: Start Stocking Up



Although no one said anything, the eyes of the two elders of the Qiao family became subtle, and the eyes of Qiao Xuejun became sympathetic. This girl has been working hard outside since she was a child. Everyone in the village knows a little bit about it. It's really not easy.

The potatoes were weighed in the car and Qiao Xuejun confirmed that the weight was sufficient.

The two elders of the Qiao family looked unhappy and directed the driver to transport the things to Qiao Xuejun's old house.

After unloading the goods into the yard, Qiao Xuejun paid the money and asked for an invoice.

The end of the world is coming, and even if they ask for an invoice, they probably won’t pay taxes later, but Qiao Xuejun just wants to annoy people.

The invoice was issued reluctantly, and when the two elders of the Qiao family left, they were still very angry.

After everyone left, Qiao Xuejun closed the gate.

The old house is a typical country cottage with a private courtyard where you can grow some vegetables.

The two-story brick building looks like it has not been lived in for a long time and does not look like a building of the same era as the renovated houses around it.

Qiao Xuejun looked around the house.

The old-fashioned red brick wall was two meters high, with broken glass pieces stuck on it. The gate was made of iron bars, with large gaps between the bars, and the iron bars were rusted.

The two-story building is even worse. It has fallen into disrepair over the years, with large chunks of paint peeling off and a damp, moldy smell.

"Host, this is a dangerous building." The system spoke.

Qiao Xuejun could also see that this place was unlikely to become a temporary shelter. It would take ten days to build a new house, so they could only rely on the system: "So can the shelter you mentioned be redeemed now?"

"Host, what kind of shelter do you want to change to?" The system unfolded several different types of shelters. They all looked like they were made of solid metal and were indestructible.

"The 20,000-jin one. Medium-sized, for 10 people."

"Host, please select the specific functional type. There are defense type, production type, life entertainment type, and offensive type."

"What's the difference?" They look pretty much the same in the pictures.

"Because it is elementary, it only has certain functions. For example, the defensive type only has defense, and monsters cannot attack. The production type can farm, but the defense is very weak. The life and entertainment type has a movie room and the kitchen equipment is also very complete. The offensive type has many weapons."

"What do you suggest?"

After all, the system is artificial intelligence, and it can calculate which one is more suitable for her at the moment. She prefers the defensive type and has a higher sense of security.

System: "Through calculations, the production type is more suitable for the host. A variety of food can upgrade the shelter earlier, and then the defense function can be increased."

"What about defense?"

"You can't farm in a primary defense type. Although the defense function is strong, Gongzhou is an inland mountainous area, and the mutant monsters from the ocean won't come in so quickly. The production type shelter is enough to resist the attacks of ordinary people."

The system opens the world map.

The province where this town is located is called Gongzhou, which is similar to Guizhou. It is inland. Even if the mutant marine creatures come ashore, it would take a long way to cross mountains and rivers to reach Gongzhou.

The small town is called Xiaokai Town. It is far away from the provincial capital and the war is unlikely to spread here, so taking refuge here is a natural choice.

"Then this one, the production type."

"You will soon be provided with a production shelter. Please select a location for construction." The system expanded the map.

Qiao Xuejun: "You are not artificial intelligence. You can help me analyze where is the most suitable place to build it."

The system was in a dilemma: "The database only has plot information. There is too little information about Xiaokai Town in the book to analyze it. The host needs to make his own choice."

Qiao Xuejun: "Bad review, not as good as deepseek."

system:"……"

System: "In ten days, there will be extremely high temperatures, with the highest temperature reaching 57°C. The high temperature will last for two months. It is recommended to build a shelter underground and prepare cooling equipment."

57℃!

Qiao Xuejun: "Then we need to buy an air conditioner. Is there electricity in the shelter?"

System: “…No.”

57℃, but no air conditioning or electricity?! Heat stroke can be fatal.

It seems that I need to prepare a mobile power supply, solar panels or batteries, which are probably not available in this small town.

There are still ten days left, I have to go to the city to buy it.

Qiao Xuejun took out her phone and tried to search for the way to the city: "So the shelter only has farming equipment and nothing else?"

System: "Yes, the refuge is equipped with 1 acre of fertile land and mechanized production irrigation tools."

Qiao Xuejun: "Let's build the shelter under this house first." After all, we have to move things in and out, and if we go to other places frequently, it will easily attract attention.

It is not only the monsters that are scary in disasters, but also the people. Many people noticed that she had brought so many potatoes home today, and it was almost impossible to guess whether someone would come to rob her of them when she was short of food in the future.

After picking up the phone, it kept vibrating, indicating that there was a new message. Qiao Xuejun found a social software and clicked on it.

The message column has already reached 99+.

What's going on?

Qiao Xuejun clicked on it.

[Bafang Laicai: @Xuejun are you @Anchor Countryside Xiaoqiao's sister? The potatoes you bought are a rip-off! ]
