After eating and drinking my fill, I sat back down at the computer and started making a shopping list, categorizing it into five main types: clothing, food, housing, transportation, and necessities for survival.
Clothing: Raincoats, sportswear, sneakers, underwear, thermal underwear, military overcoats, cold-weather clothing, snow boots, cashmere quilts, down quilts, electric blankets and other warm clothing.
Food: rice, noodles, oil, vegetables, fruits, meat, and various seasonings, as well as seeds. From now on, we will have to be self-sufficient if we want to eat vegetables.
The most important thing is medicine. In the apocalypse, a single medicine can save a life. Take whatever you need, whether it's cold medicine, anti-inflammatory drugs, or medicine for sprains and bruises. Even if you don't need it yourself, you can exchange it for supplies.
The previous homeowner may have had paranoia. The house has the sturdiest security door and bulletproof windows.
However, in the end times, humanity is destroyed, and a single security door cannot withstand the hunger and devastation of humanity; two more security doors must be installed.
Xu Lin lives on this floor alone, so we can add a door at the stairwell for extra security. I learned this from a post-apocalyptic novel.
In her previous life, Xu Lin saved herself by removing her neighbor's security door and installing it at the stairwell.
The extreme cold brought the lowest temperature to minus fifty or sixty degrees Celsius, and the central heating was also shut down. The underfloor heating had to be converted to a self-heating system, which was not Xu Lin's forte. She had to go to a place that sold stoves to ask about it.
When it comes to keeping warm, the traditional kang (heated brick bed) in the countryside can also be considered. In my previous life, I heard some Northeastern women at the base say that they relied on their kang and heated walls to survive the extreme cold. I'll ask about that along with underfloor heating, as well as coal stoves, boilers, and all sorts of other stoves.
After extreme cold comes extreme heat, so air conditioning fans and other cooling equipment need to be prepared. Keep only one air conditioner at home, since it will lose its heating and cooling functions during the coldest and hottest times.
In the previous life, after a torrential rain, the water flooded up to the 6th floor of the building. And that was in a higher-lying area of the community; in lower-lying areas, the water would probably have reached the 8th floor. Rubber boats and assault boats would have to be put on the table. Cars that had experienced extreme cold and heat were basically all destroyed, but solar-powered electric cars, bicycles, and tricycles would be good backups. They're faster than walking, and they can carry things—practically essential for escaping the apocalypse.
As for essential survival supplies, toilet paper, facial tissues, wet wipes, sanitary napkins, toothpaste, toothbrush, toiletries, facial cleanser and skincare sets are all necessary. Although everyone is disheveled in the apocalypse, girls are more refined and wouldn't want to be sloppy. At worst, they can secretly pamper themselves at home without anyone knowing.
This is a list of supplies for now; I'll add more if I think of anything else I need. I stretched and glanced at my phone; it was already 11:30. I opened the food delivery app and ordered from a nearby fried food stall. Heaven knows how much I missed the taste of fried food during those years in the apocalypse.
Bacon-wrapped enoki mushrooms and cabbage are must-orders; order several skewers. Chili peppers, eggplant, pork tenderloin, gluten... I wanted to eat everything I saw, so I ordered every single dish. I couldn't let the tears I shed during those years of the apocalypse go to waste.
While waiting for my takeout, I sent my shopping list to my phone and inadvertently glanced at the map app on my phone.
Maps? Yes, we need to download offline maps. In the apocalypse, without the internet, people who are used to using the internet are completely lost. Xu Lin, who relied on maps to go anywhere before the apocalypse, almost forgot how to use online maps after experiencing a few years of "primitive life". It's good that she can also check the nearby wholesale market.
