Chapter 11 Eve of the Apocalypse



Over the next few days, Xu Lin trained her physical fitness every morning, traveled between various wholesale markets in the afternoon, collected grains, oils, and takeout orders from warehouses in the evening, and studied or watched TV series at night, leading a busy and fulfilling life.

Before I knew it, it was August 20th. The procurement of supplies was basically completed, and the warehouse lease was terminated at the end of July. The gatekeeper gave me an extra 500 yuan to end the employment relationship. All the final payments were settled, and I still had 10,000 yuan in cash on hand for backup.

Major news outlets and weather forecasts have been reporting on this year's abnormal temperatures, suggesting a possible once-in-60-years cold winter, and reminding the public to take precautions, but people online are not taking it seriously.

"This year is a once-in-60-years winter, and next year will be a once-in-61-years winter."

"Haha, the person upstairs is right, these news stories just rely on hype to attract attention."

"So what if it's winter? I'm at the office every day anyway, and as long as there's heating, I won't die."

"You report on the freezing winter every day, how about giving us a cold-weather break?!"

...

Looking at the 29°C outside, Xu Lin wouldn't have believed the news reports of a harsh winter if she hadn't experienced the apocalypse. But did the news in her past life actually warn of a harsh winter?

At that time, Xu Lin was either working overtime or on her way to work overtime every day. She didn't even have time to go on blind dates, let alone watch the news.

In this life, Xu Lin wanted to make the space big enough to stock up on enough supplies, and then lie down in the apocalypse. The only thing was that her physical body couldn't enter the space, otherwise she could just sit and wait to die in the space.

In the last few days, Xu Lin had stockpiled almost all the supplies she could think of. To save space, clothing items without expiration dates were piled up in the attic, the vegetable garden in the space was filled with coal, and there wasn't even room for a single grain of rice in the space.

Xu Lin still practices military boxing every day, increasing the time from 1 hour to 3 hours. She no longer needs to practice by watching videos. She also sets aside an hour each day to practice slashing and thrusting with a knife. The rest of the time is spent cooking for herself.

Xu Lin bought 10,000 disposable lunch boxes, 10 boxes of disposable chopsticks, and 20 boxes of disposable gloves from the wholesale market and piled them up in the attic. Although it is convenient to take out takeout, it is cheaper to make it yourself. Money should be spent wisely.

The 100-square-meter warehouse in the space is now filled with food. Because it is controlled by thought, it can be piled up to the three-meter-high roof without collapsing or spilling.

The courtyard was piled with medicines. Zhang Jing, Xu Lin's childhood friend who grew up in the orphanage, was a pharmaceutical salesman. After inheriting a seven-figure fortune from an unscrupulous manager, she had enough money. Xu Lin used the excuse that the company had received a large export order to get Xu Lin to buy all the medicines she could find.

Zhang Jing is very beautiful. In the early days of the apocalypse in my previous life, before the internet and electricity were cut off, the two of them were still in contact. At that time, Zhang Jing found the youngest son of a pharmaceutical company owner. This owner had some connections, so Zhang Jing should be doing well after the apocalypse.

Of course, they also bought all the commonly used medical devices. The agency price was incredibly attractive; no wonder everyone says that pharmaceutical agents and purchasing agents make a lot of money.

Xu Lin knows nothing about medicine. If she encounters an emergency in the future and there is a doctor by her side, but the lack of suitable medical equipment delays the rescue, she will regret it to death.

Every day, she stayed home to review her knowledge and exercise, waiting for the apocalypse to arrive. 801 would bring back supplies almost every day. Xu Lin didn't really know what they were, but she just marveled at how nice it was to have a big house. Although the two of them lived on the same floor, 801 was a 180-square-meter three-bedroom apartment, while Xu Lin's apartment was a 50-square-meter one-bedroom apartment. The attic and living room were crammed full, leaving only enough space to walk around.
