Chapter 7



◎Happy seventh day: Arrival and hiking the next day◎

The first to be affected is the large-capacity mobile hard drive.

Jiang Muyun had a lot of things to download. If possible, she would have liked to download all the movies, TV shows, and literary works from ancient and modern times, both at home and abroad. This also included a considerable number of reference books that she thought would be useful in the future.

It is necessary to buy several high-quality mobile hard drives.

There is also a power bank.

Ordinary power banks won’t work. Electricity is very precious after the end of the world, so Jiang Muyun plans to buy a solar-powered one.

Solar power banks, solar charging lamps, these small items can be purchased directly online.

Jiang Muyun checked and found that there were no solar panel manufacturers around Nanshi, so solar panels also needed to be purchased online.

However, the delivery of such large items takes time, and the delivery address must be changed to a small warehouse.

There are also non-daily clothing such as polar cold-proof clothing and three-proof jackets.

Outdoor tents, sleeping bags, waterproof hiking bags and other outdoor products.

Protective clothing and even epidemic prevention supplies such as gas masks are also essential.

The quality of these things is very important and it is not an area where you should save money.

Jiang Muyun chose an outdoor brand with an excellent reputation, and placed orders piecemeal at first, buying a set of various supplies.

Then I added fifty sets of three-proof jackets to the shopping cart and selected five sets of tents and other camping supplies.

As for the polar cold-proof clothing, considering the inventory problem of this brand store, Jiang Muyun specially found its factory store and found that they still had more than 5,000 in stock, so he added another 50 polar cold-proof clothing to the shopping cart.

Jiang Muyun plans to go to the factory to wholesale masks and disposable protective clothing, but heavy protective clothing and gas masks need to be purchased online.

After the apocalypse, nuclear leaks occurred all over the world. Although there was no nuclear power plant in Nanshi, Jiang Muyun could not guarantee that he would not need to relocate one day.

There are also self-defense items.

Given the strict domestic control over firearms, it would be impossible to obtain them unless one engaged in illegal activities. If Jiang Muyun wanted them, he would have to wait until after the apocalypse.

The same applies to controlled knives with greater lethality.

There are not many reliable self-defense weapons available on the market now, and pepper spray is one of them.

It wasn't lethal, but it was easy to use and could quickly distance herself from an enemy when attacked. As a woman living alone, it made perfect sense for her to have a few bottles at home.

There are also products such as fire axes and electric saws that can be used for other purposes.

Other items with relatively strong comprehensive practicality include the engineer shovel, mountaineering pick, and physics holy sword, which can be used to chop trees, pry open doors, and dig holes to bury people.

Jiang Muyun bought these things in two batches.

A separate purchase, like a solar charger and a few portable hard drives, will be delivered to your home tomorrow. It also includes a wire saw, paracord, and a thermal blanket.

There was another one that needed to be purchased in large quantities, and Jiang Muyun basically placed the order with the factory store.

Like boxes of paracord and pepper spray.

Jiang Muyun directly wholesales two large boxes of the magical water filtration device Life Straw.

Along with the LifeStraw, five large boxes of water purification tablets and two sets of powerful water purification devices were purchased.

After the apocalypse, clean water has become a priceless treasure. No matter how much water Jiang Muyun can store now, she will always feel it is not enough. Therefore, she must have a sufficient supply of water purification products.

Jiang Muyun also bought fifty yurt-style mosquito nets. They are the best choice if you don’t want to sleep with your head covered when there are a lot of mosquitoes.

There are also less common items like solar panels, small generators, batteries, and heavy-duty chemical protective clothing.

In order to prepare for the subsequent severe floods in the rainy season, Jiang Muyun also bought two engine-driven assault boats, five more common manual inflatable kayaks, and even prepared ten inflatable throwable life rafts.

Just these things cost Jiang Muyun a lot of money.

The reason why we didn’t prepare more water sports supplies is because Nanshi is located on the river bank, and there are many fishing enthusiasts and various water entertainment projects.

Jiang Muyun prepared some in advance just in case.

If she had to choose, she would rather take a risk and start buying for free after the order completely collapsed, as this material has a low usage rate and is not scarce in Nanshi.

If Jiang Muyun wanted to prepare the items he would need for the rest of his life with less than three million yuan, he had to make some choices.

Jiang Muyun could only buy necessities and scarce items that were hard to find after the end of the world. Everything else could be purchased for free, especially some prohibited items.

Jiang Muyun put them all in the shopping cart, delayed the purchase and order for one day, filled in the address as the suburban warehouse, and the consignee's name was Manager Chen of the Outdoor Store 2.

Nanshi is located on the north-south dividing line of China. Although it is cold in winter and there is no heating, the express delivery speed is excellent.

The next morning, before Jiang Muyun woke up, the courier called.

Her mobile hard drive arrived.

Jiang Muyun yawned as he signed for the express delivery. When he tore off the delivery slip, he discovered that the shipping address was also in Nanshi.

At this speed, she suspected that the store had directly asked a clerk to deliver it to her.

Jiang Muyun fell back into bed and continued to sleep, but before he had slept for long, the door installer arrived.

Jiang Muyun was very puzzled.

Don't you guys need to sleep?

Did you start work so early?

Who knew that when she opened her cell phone and looked at the time, wow, it was already past ten o'clock.

Jiang Muyun reflected on herself for a moment, then decided to cook some dumplings for lunch to celebrate the fact that she slept until noon and started a comfortable day.

After Jiang Muyun finished her breakfast and lunch, the express deliveries she bought arrived one after another.

The things Jiang Muyun bought were not cheap. They used the platform’s own logistics, so the courier brought a cart to deliver the goods to her door.

In order to make it easier for the master to install the iron door, the door of Jiang Muyun's house was always kept open.

Jiang Muyun didn't want to mess up the house, so he simply moved a small stool and sat at the door, opening the express delivery directly outside.

She plans to equip herself with a BOB survival backpack.

A BOB, or bug out bag, is a backpack you carry with you when disaster strikes. It typically contains enough water for at least three days of use, some common medicines, and other outdoor survival supplies like a shovel, fire starter, and a thermal blanket.

This type of backpack is very common abroad, and many survival enthusiasts in China also prepare one. In some areas prone to earthquakes or floods, this type of escape backpack is a common item in homes and is not considered a rare item.

With this backpack as a cover, she could live well during the early days of the apocalypse when city residents took refuge together.

After she had almost packed up the existing things, Jiang Muyun had some free time and took out the whetstone she had bought.

The noise of installing the door was quite loud. Even if Jiang Muyun wanted to chat with the master, he didn't have the conditions to do so. So he just asked the engineer to shovel open a blade.

The engineer shovels available on the market are basically unsharpened. The better the quality and the higher the hardness, the less likely it is to be sharpened.

Jiang Muyun had no choice but to buy a whetstone and sharpen the blade of the engineer shovel manually.

Fortunately, Jiang Muyun has always had the habit of exercising, and his strength is not inferior to that of an adult male, otherwise this thing would not be able to be worn away in a short time.

Just as she was busy sharpening the blade manually, two young men got off the elevator.

They were all tall and strong, with shaved heads and muscular bodies. The taller one had a scar on his face.

The shorter man exclaimed when he saw the engineer shovel in Jiang Muyun's hand, "Girl, don't play with this thing carelessly. Don't turn around and hurt yourself."

Jiang Muyun looked up and found that the two people looked unfamiliar and he didn't recognize either of them.

The tall man with the scar felt a little helpless. He pulled the shorter man and said to Jiang Muyun, "I'm sorry, he's a bit of a noob. Don't mind. He was just saying it casually."

Zhao Jiahao finally reacted and said quickly, "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to curse you. I just think you're quite professional..."

The cardboard box next to Jiang Muyun was torn open and placed on the ground, and on it were basically all the things she had prepared for her escape backpack.

She spent a lot of money and bought the best things available on the market. At first glance, it is indeed quite impressive.

Jiang Muyun wiped the sweat from his forehead and said, "It's okay, you mean well. I like hiking, and I bought these just for fun."

Seeing that Jiang Muyun wasn't angry, Zhao Jiahao immediately smiled and said, "Then we have quite similar interests. I live in 1503, my name is Zhao Jiahao. This guy is my comrade, his name is Li Anxuan. We both work at the Municipal Fire Department and now we're sharing a house."

After saying that, he looked at Jiang Muyun expectantly, waiting for her response.

The residential complex where Jiang Muyun lives has a layout of two elevators and four households. When Jiang Muyun went to school, only her family's room 1501 and the Qin family's room 1502 were occupied on the fifteenth floor.

I've never met the owner of 1504, but I do know the owner of 1503, Jiang Muyun. He was a soldier under Grandpa Jiang, and after his discharge, he worked at the fire department. During the urban renewal, he moved to his children's neighborhood and never returned.

I heard from Qin Shiwen yesterday that 1503 was rented to the new interns in his team, and now it seems that they are the ones.

No wonder Qin Shiwen, who is always very busy with work, can get to know his new neighbor so quickly. Li Anxuan's choice of words is precise, and this Zhao Jiahao is indeed very familiar with people.

Jiang Muyun has always had a good impression of those who risk their lives to save others, whether before or after the end of the world.

She was tired, so she simply put down what she was doing, stood up and shook hands with the two people: "Jiang Muyun, lives in 1501, and is still a student."

Li Anxuan also said: "Li Anxuan, we just moved here, please take care of us."

Jiang Muyun looked young, but her temperament did not seem that of an inexperienced person. Li Anxuan did not treat her as a child.

Zhao Jiahao looked at Jiang Muyun's pile of equipment and said enviously, "That's great. When I first started college, I always wanted to get a set of equipment for hiking. But then, from enlisting in the army to being discharged and joining the fire department, I did have some hiking training, but hiking was just a dream. I spent most of my free time sleeping."

Jiang Muyun nodded sympathetically: "Indeed, ordinary people really don't have the time and energy for this."

Zhao Jiahao seemed to have found a kindred spirit: "Isn't that right? Not only is it energy-consuming and dangerous, it also requires a lot of preparation up front. I was always preparing, but never setting out. Later, I had both the physical fitness and the common sense to survive, but I ran out of time."

Jiang Muyun sighed, "You're absolutely right. I started my previous hike in a hurry and almost starved to death on the way. That's why I have to update my equipment and make detailed preparations this time!"

Zhao Jiahao gave a thumbs up: "You are very brave! If I had your courage back then, I wouldn't regret it until now."

Seeing that the two were about to start chatting, Li Anxuan immediately pulled Zhao Jiahao aside and said, "It's a good thing that people prepare seriously. Don't encourage them to take risks."

Not only did they work a long night shift yesterday, they also had to work on short notice in the morning. Now Li Anxuan felt that he could fall asleep while standing. He didn't know where Zhao Jiahao got the energy from.

Zhao Jiahao sounded aggrieved, so how could he have encouraged Jiang Muyun?

Seeing the two of them looking exhausted, Jiang Muyun knew they must have just finished their work. Just then, another truckload of express delivery arrived, so Jiang Muyun said, "I'll pack up here first, and we'll talk later."

Zhao Jiahao nodded vigorously: "Okay, okay, tell me about your hiking experience later, it sounds exciting."

Jiang Muyun watched the two of them go home, and with a rustling sound, he opened the package with his hands.

She wasn't bragging, her hiking experience was so thrilling, so thrilling that she was afraid no one would believe it if she told them about it.
