Chapter 54: Frenziedly hoarding 8 million worth of supplies!



Job: Male, Ragdoll cat, special ability: Illusion

Qiao He blinked slightly. An illusion?!

Illusionary powers?

Does this mean that Jobs could create simple illusions and then deceive the enemy?

Qiao He was overjoyed. Although this ability did not directly attack the opponent, it was enough to deal with the small-scale chaos in the early stages of a natural disaster.

If Job can make good use of his illusion ability, he will definitely be able to outwit his enemies!

Subsequently, Qiao He used the gene optimization card on Qiao Jin.

They also increased the stamina and agility of Joejos's two cats.

That's all we can do...

***

At the same time, the three kittens locked in the cage suddenly felt a strange warm current flowing through their bodies!

Especially Qiao Jin, a golden shaded female cat.

Qiao He applied the gene optimization card to it, and almost instantly, Qiao Jin felt as if her whole body had been washed.

Strength has increased dramatically, and eyesight, sense of smell, perception, and even agility have all improved by more than half!

Qiao Jin stared at the iron cage and rammed it hard!

Unexpectedly, the cage was slightly deformed from the impact.

Joss and Jofe looked at Jojin in utter shock; they were locked in a dark room.

This place is full of cages where animals are kept, not just cats, but also dogs, tigers and lions!

Most rare animals are there; catching just one of them is enough to get you to the police station and have to work on a sewing machine until it's smoking.

Surprisingly, most animals can be found here, making it like an encyclopedia of the animal kingdom.

Qiao Jin tried to bump into it again, but unfortunately, the iron cage was simply too sturdy.

Joss said in a deep voice: "Stop trying. Let's find another chance to escape from here and find our way home to see Mom."

Qiao Fei clicked his tongue: "Damn it, they actually locked us up! If I find out who did it, I'll scratch the crap out of them!"

Qiao Jin sighed deeply, her eyes brimming with tears, and said, "I miss Mom so much. I wonder how she is... I also wonder if that little bitch will hurt Mom."

Qiao Fei: Definitely not, Mom is so amazing, stop crying!

Qiao Jin whimpers: No, I'm going to cry... Meow!

Joss: ...

I'm so tired, having to deal with two unreliable people.

If they had Job and Qiao Li with them, they might have been able to escape.

Qiao Li is the epitome of fighting prowess, and Qiao Bu is cunning and shrewd. With these two cats working together, how could they possibly escape?

However, at that moment, the heavy, dark iron door was pushed open from the outside.

The sharp and unpleasant squeaking sound was ear-piercing, giving the three cats a headache.

The newcomers turned on the lights, and the people inside were all wearing blue-black uniforms; they were all strong, male humans.

They are about to move all the animals away.

When the man picked up the iron cage containing the three kittens, he let out a curious "Eh."

"That's strange, did this iron cage fall? It's a bit deformed."

Another employee said, "Perhaps."

He glanced at it and figured it must have been caused by the cat inside.

But the next second, he dismissed the strange idea.

How could that be? Cats don't have that much strength!

Moreover, these animals haven't even been tested yet.

After the modification, it should have this kind of strength...

So the employees felt reassured and put the iron cage into the truck.

Only then did the three kittens realize where they were...

This is actually a mountainous area!

It was a desolate wilderness, with not even a mountain village in sight!

***

A few days later.

The capital city has finally returned to normal.

Qiao He and Bo Shiwu returned to the villa and watched the news, only to find out that 40,000 to 50,000 people had died in the accident.

Most of the deaths were caused by the leaked toxic gas, while some died in the high temperatures and suffered from heatstroke without receiving timely medical treatment.

Some firefighters also lost their lives.

The trending topics on Weibo are all about mourning, and the funeral industry in Beijing has suddenly become a hot topic!

Coffins are so expensive and hard to find!

Cemetery plot prices have skyrocketed, while generators, ice makers, refrigerators, bottled water, and various items for escaping the summer heat have become incredibly popular.

Everyone's grabbing these things!

Because they fear another large-scale power outage, in this awful weather, they can only hope that autumn will bring down the temperatures...

Only Qiao He knew that the temperature wouldn't drop.

Meteorologists also dared not report it indiscriminately, for fear of causing panic.

Once social order is disrupted, all sorts of major problems will arise.

Qiao He had already stockpiled those things; now she needed to stockpile other goods.

For example, she bought all sorts of delicious local specialties from different regions, as well as food prepared by the catering industry. She even bought a bunch of good restaurants in Beijing!

For example, clothing: hundreds of sets of everyday clothes and pajamas for each of the four seasons.

Of course, there are also clothes to wear during extremely cold weather! Down jackets, thick cotton coats, military overcoats, gloves, hats, scarves, boots...

Everything is available; I stocked up on thousands of items!

I don't care about brand names, I just want good quality and durability.

In the aftermath of the natural disaster, people couldn't even eat properly, let alone wear nice clothes.

Those who can afford clean clothes live very well.

Because Qiao Yuan had Qiao Yimu, a surgeon, in her previous life, the Qiao family's life wasn't particularly difficult.

After all, in the apocalypse, you can offend anyone, but you absolutely cannot offend a doctor!

Many people went to see doctors, but without bringing a lot of supplies, they couldn't even see the doctor.
