Back at the hotel, Xiao Chen breathed a sigh of relief. Looking at the resources inside the Ring of Creation, he felt much more at ease.
In those short six hours, Xiao Chen visited hardware stores, seafood markets, mobile phone stores, home appliance stores, and so on. He basically visited every store in Hangzhou, and the resources inside were probably enough for an ordinary person to use for several hundred years.
"These supplies should be enough for me in the apocalypse. To be on the safe side, I can go out and get more tonight, but I'll pass. These supplies from the past few hundred years should be enough to support my cultivation until I am invincible."
Xiao Chen thought to himself, if he wasn't afraid of being discovered in the military region, he probably would have gone there himself.
"However, it's not impossible to go to the military region at midnight tonight."
Xiao Chen thought for a moment and realized that there seemed to be quite a few large toys in the military region that he could play with in his spare time. Since they wouldn't need them anyway, he might as well give them to himself.
Xiao Chen felt a little sleepy and lay down on the bed to sleep. Being in the Qi Refining stage wouldn't make Xiao Chen feel tired, and he soon fell into a dream.
However, what Xiao Chen didn't know was that Hangzhou was already in a state of panic.
The police officers at the Hangzhou Police Station responsible for reception were already extremely busy.
"What, No. 8 Shenyang Street, right? We'll send someone over right away."
"The Midea Technology store has been robbed? We'll send someone to handle it immediately."
"Everything in the Walmart warehouse is gone! We're on our way!"
Inside the Hangzhou Police Station, the emergency phone kept ringing. In the chief's office, Chief Huang Ziren's expression was extremely grim. In just six hours that morning, they had received no fewer than fifty calls from shops reporting that all their merchandise had been stolen.
The smaller ones aren't so bad, but the most important thing is that Walmart's warehouses were all robbed, and the goods in Walmart's warehouses are worth billions of dollars.
If it isn't found, even he will face considerable punishment.
"No, it's impossible for it to just disappear into thin air. The criminal must have left some clues. Go to the Walmart warehouse and look for clues."
Huang Ziren quickly realized that these cases might all be the work of the same organization, so he ordered all the police officers to go to the Walmart warehouse to investigate. Soon, the surveillance footage from the Walmart warehouse that night was also transmitted to the police station.
"Look closely, there must be something wrong."
Huang Ziren approached the technician with a serious expression and instructed him to find out what was wrong.
The surveillance footage from the other shops was also transmitted to the technicians, and dozens of technicians began to examine the suspicious parts of the footage together.
At the same time, many citizens in Hangzhou also noticed something was wrong.
"What's going on? Why are most of the supermarkets in Hangzhou closed?"
"I don't know, it seems like there was a theft inside, and all the goods were stolen."
"They're all stolen? Who's so capable as to steal them all?"
The citizens of Hangzhou were thrown into a state of panic by the incident, but fortunately the mayor of Hangzhou stepped forward.
"Citizens, please don't worry. The province has already classified this as a serious case and has opened an investigation. The supermarket will be able to resume operations soon. In addition, we would like to advise the perpetrators in this case that you are going against the country. If you know what's good for you, you should surrender yourself and hand over all the goods to try to get a lighter sentence."
Mayor Kim Jung-ga said with a serious expression at the press conference, seemingly asking the criminals to come forward. However, they knew that it would be difficult to recover this batch of supplies, given that they were able to steal so much in such a short time.
They probably came prepared, and judging from the information above, it seems that something big is about to happen, which made Jin Zhengjia feel a little uneasy.
Upon hearing Jin Zhengjia's words, the reporters present quickly burst into enthusiastic applause, expressing their condemnation of the prisoner. Little did they know that Xiao Chen was asleep at that moment.
After an hour of investigation, the technicians on the other side finally discovered something was wrong, and Huang Ziren, who had received the news, quickly arrived at the scene.
"Did you find anything?"
Huang Ziren pushed open the door and hurriedly asked.
The higher-ups take this matter very seriously and have given him a month to solve the case, or he'll be fired. So now Huang Ziren can only hope to find the culprit as soon as possible.
"Chief, after slowing it down a hundred times, we finally discovered something was wrong."
"A technician wearing glasses said, and then showed Huang Ziren the Walmart warehouse surveillance footage in slow motion, 100 times."
When Huang Ziren saw this, his face darkened. He saw that the supplies in the Walmart warehouse seemed to be absorbed by something. In his eyes, Walmart's resources seemed to be sucked in by something, but the speed was so fast that it seemed to disappear in an instant.
Nanotechnology?
As the police chief, Huang Ziren naturally knew something. Not long ago, the higher-ups developed nanotechnology, which can be used to store larger items.
"But current nanotechnology clearly can't do that. No, this matter must be reported."
Huang Ziren knew that the situation was probably beyond his control, so he could only report it to his superiors and leave it to them to handle.
Time passed by second by second, and soon it was almost six o'clock in the evening.
"It's time to go back."
Xiao Chen slept for a full ten hours and felt refreshed. He checked the time and realized it was time to go back and hand over his duties.
With that thought in mind, Xiao Chen packed his things, got up, and walked outside.
"Mr. Xiao, I wish you a pleasant life. Please come again next time."
The sweet-looking staff member smiled at Xiao Chen and said, "Hey girl, here's a tip: buy some extra food to stock up on when you get home from get off work today."
After saying that, Xiao Chen turned and left. He left Longxiang Hotel after being searched by the hotel security. The hotel girl was a little curious, but she didn't take it too seriously.
On her way home, while passing a supermarket that Xiao Chen had never visited, she inexplicably remembered his words and, recalling that many supermarkets in Hangzhou had been looted that day, she impulsively bought about a thousand yuan worth of food inside the supermarket.
That's how she managed to survive the apocalypse. Later, the girl couldn't help but feel grateful that she had listened to Xiao Chen's advice. Of course, that's a story for another time.
