Chapter 22 Doomsday debate, stockpiling topic
Jiang Rong looked at the man's face, his eyes suddenly narrowed, three parts shock and six parts anger in his eyes.
There is still one thing I don't understand.
The man standing at the door with a sinister and impatient look on his face is the father of the little girl Jia Jia.
Jiang Rong had only seen this man once in the past few months. That time he came to ask for a child, but failed.
This day was the second time she met him, and she never expected it to be like this.
In addition, for a long time before, she thought Qinhe was a single mother.
The man was holding a gray sack in his right hand. It looked heavy, and there were a few drops of blood on the bag from being rubbed.
Jiang Rong looked at the two shriveled bodies on the ground, then looked at the sack in the man's hand, and his heart sank again.
Those are two living people!
Although death is an extremely common thing in the apocalypse, she still cannot accept that Jia Jia and Qin He died in this way.
Thinking of this, Jiang Rong withdrew his thoughts.
In her previous life, she had little ability. After confirming the identity of the thief, she spent a very long time lying in wait before finally ending the scum's life with a sneak attack.
But she never knew his motive.
She was not given a chance to ask.
And after that, in this cold, painful and dark world, she became a human being again.
Jiang Rong closed his eyes, took a deep breath, then put his phone aside and closed his eyes to rest.
If she could meet that mother and daughter again in this life, she would never let them make the same mistake again!

The next day, Jiang Rong slept in for a rare time. When she woke up, it was already past seven o'clock.
Normally, her biological clock would wake her up at five or six o'clock. Therefore, this was very rare for Jiang Rong, who had already developed the habit.
Jiang Rong then repeated the process of the previous day. After handing over the warehouse keys and waiting for several workers to take away the gas tank, he drove to the city.
Her destination is the wholesale food market here.
Because there is still a balance of more than 50 million in her account at this moment, and she has basically stocked up on other things that need to be stocked up, so she plans to use the remaining money to buy another batch of high-calorie food and water.
After arriving at the destination.
Jiang Rong found a merchant selling mineral water in the food wholesale market, and then ordered 10,000 boxes of mineral water and 10,000 barrels of bottled water at one time, totaling 340,000 yuan.
Then there were 10,000 kilograms of 90-grade compressed biscuits, at 8 yuan per kilogram, for a total of 80,000 yuan.
10,000 boxes of chocolate, each box is 10 grams and costs 10 yuan, totaling 2,000 kilograms, and worth 100,000 yuan.
There are also 5,000 kilograms of various candies and 5,000 boxes of functional drinks, totaling 275,000.
100,000 boxes of instant noodles, 70 yuan per box, totaling 7 million yuan.
There were 1,000 boxes of ham sausages, 50 in each box, and each box cost 35 yuan. She bought the kind that normally retails for only one yuan per sausage, totaling 35,000 yuan.
There are also 500 boxes of instant coffee, milk tea and jam, 10,000 kilograms of oatmeal, and 10,000 boxes of various self-heating hot pots and self-heating rice.
Jiang Rong mainly bought five flavors of self-heating rice, including curry beef, spicy beef pot, Sichuan sausage, mushroom beef and spicy hot pot.
After Jiang Rong bought all these, he opened a box of spicy beef stew at noon to try it.
The portion of food was large, but it was just right for Jiang Rong's appetite.
The taste was indeed spicy and numbing. Jiang Rong's face turned red after eating it, and he felt like his mouth was on fire.
But overall the food is rich in juice and flavor, and it is still delicious.
The wholesale price of this box is about 30, so the total is about 300,000.
In addition, while stocking up on food, Jiang Rong also bought some gift cigarettes and alcohol at a nearby store.
But the quantity is not large, probably about tens of thousands.
Although people are less sentimental during natural disasters, the "beautiful tradition" of giving gifts to build relationships has been preserved.
Jiang Rong was not following the usual practice at this time. He just stocked up a little and didn't buy too much, just in case he needed it in the future.
Moreover, gold, cigarettes, and alcohol can be considered hard currency during natural disasters.
Of course, if the standards are not too strict, all food in the apocalypse can be considered hard currency.
After that, Jiang Rong spent a few more days stockpiling a large amount of fruits, vegetables, livestock, and unhusked old rice in local farms and ranches.
It cost about 30 million.
Among them, the price of old rice was 0.8 yuan per catty. Jiang Rong bought a total of 5,000 tons, totaling 8 million yuan.
The main fruits and vegetables include crisp persimmons, soft persimmons, jelly oranges, winter peaches, navel oranges, sugar-heart apples, cherries, large red dates, chestnuts, red-heart pomelo, yellow watermelons and a large number of potatoes and sweet potatoes, which cost about 2 million yuan.
In addition, Jiang Rong also went to an imported fruit store to buy a batch of durian, 5,000 kilograms, and this alone cost him more than 500,000 yuan.
She doesn't like eating durian, nor does she like the smell of it.
But Cai Er likes it, and she really likes it...
However, because this fruit is not cheap on weekdays, although Cai'er likes it very much, she is reluctant to buy it most of the time.
Although her family conditions are much better than Jiang Rong's, they are at most a well-off family. The normal price of a durian is usually over one hundred yuan, and a larger one may cost two or three hundred yuan.
I still can't afford to eat it often.
This can also be considered an indirect benefit to Jiang Rong, at least he doesn't have to smell that smell so often.
Jiang Rong used the remaining nearly 20 million to buy livestock.
The ratio of adult livestock to young livestock is 70:30.
After stockpiling all these, Jiang Rong stayed here for a few more days and finally put away all the items on the 20th.
Then, she prepared to slip away.
Because what she had reminded Xin Jue before was gradually taking effect.
From the day Jiang Rong informed Xin Jue and Cai'er, Xin Jue had already begun to prepare silently. Then on the 14th, he used a doomsday virus he had developed before to attack the work computers of some specific large companies, and then spread the news of the natural disaster.
There are a total of thirty-one companies, all of which are relatively influential companies.
Among them, various video software and game software are the most numerous.
In order to take care of the middle-aged and elderly groups, Xin Jue even played Monopoly and Landlord.
In addition, Xin Jue did not take any action directly to the authorities, otherwise the possibility of being caught in the act would be much greater.
At the same time, we cannot let the authorities take it too seriously too quickly. The faster the authorities take it seriously, the more dangerous they will be.
Because the conclusion about natural disasters that they spread is based on crucial evidence.
That is, the red mist that is getting thicker and thicker in the sky. Although it is still not very obvious, as long as you observe carefully, you can quickly distinguish the wisps of red mist that seem to be there and not there.
During the six days from the 14th to the 20th, many company employees initially complained, and then made all kinds of complaints and curses on the Internet, not believing in this doomsday theory at all.
Just wait for that damn hacker to be caught by the government as soon as possible, and thrown into jail for ten or eight years, so that he can have nothing to do after eating his fill and be bored!
This is mainly because they have heard many doomsday prophecies before, and there is a large-scale doomsday prophecy almost every four or five years.
However, every time these doomsday remarks provoke everyone's nerves, nothing happens and everything becomes as quiet as a chicken.
As a result, netizens are now a little ptsd about the theory of the end of the world.
Anyway, most people don’t believe it. After all, it’s almost the New Year, and no one wants such a thing to happen at this critical juncture.
However, it doesn’t really matter whether they believe it or not. Jiang Rong and Xin Jue’s main purpose at this moment is not to convince them to believe it.
What they need most now is to spread this matter on the Internet as quickly as possible without relying on government forces, and finally to the point where it attracts government attention.
But by that time, the higher-ups probably won't have the time or energy to get to the bottom of who posted these.
As for waiting for a natural disaster to occur, that is even more impossible.
After a natural disaster, due to the loss of Internet access and abnormal electromagnetic fields, it is basically impossible to connect to the entire country through a network. Many data servers cannot be activated or are difficult to activate for some special reasons.
In addition, although most people initially regarded this doomsday theory as the same boring prophecies as before, it was extremely boring and impossible.
But in real life, there is always a group of doomsday survival enthusiasts with a strong sense of crisis behind the mobile phone network.
Compared to other people who try to avoid it, these people are shouting on the Internet every day, saying that they don’t want to live anymore and that they wish the end of the world would come soon, preferably one with zombies, which would be more exciting.
They were like animals with a keen sense of smell. Once they smelled the scent of doomsday, they immediately took action excitedly.
Especially when they discovered that there really were wisps of red mist in the sky, and that it became thicker and thicker as time went by, they became even more convinced of it.
They are crazy about hoarding all kinds of supplies, including rice, salt and dry food. It is not enough for them to hoard them by themselves, they also send messages to various friend groups, relatives and friends groups and netizens' comment sections, notifying everyone to hoard them together and not to ignore it.
Generally speaking, people under the age of 45 don't take these things seriously.
People under the age of 20 are powerless, have no money in their pockets, and no power in their families...
Only the middle-aged and elderly people over 45 years old have the strongest initiative and are the most likely to follow the crowd.
Especially some old men and women, who chatted after dinner and shared what they had at the mahjong table, soon started another stockpiling boom after a lapse of five years.
Jiang Rong could also feel it clearly.
And because she had bought so many things here before, it was somewhat of a conspicuous bag among conspicuous bags.
So she stopped stockpiling, but she had basically stockpiled everything she needed.
But there was still a balance of nearly 20 million left in the card.
Jiang Rong was afraid that he would not be able to spend it all, so he gave another 5 million to Xin Jue and Cai'er each.
Hoarding, hoarding openly.
Compared to Jiang Rong, the two of them have relatively clean backgrounds, so they can openly follow the hoarding army and stockpile together.
In addition, Cai'er's medical collection had been completed long ago, and she had now returned home safely with the items.
Jiang Rong is rushing back now not only to avoid attracting attention and being affected by the stockpiling craze, but also to rush back to receive the goods to avoid any further complications.
Who knows how this matter will develop into.
All she can feel now are the overwhelming doomsday debates and hoarding topics on the Internet, as well as the warehouse man who quit his job and went back to do renovations.
I heard that his son and daughter-in-law asked him to go home and find a decorator to reinforce the house. Also, the son and daughter-in-law, who originally did not plan to go home this year, have now booked high-speed rail tickets to go home.
