Chapter 6 Why not stock up on some garlic?
Maybe it was because we were living in the last days and everyone was too nervous. Everyone was in a highly nervous mental state.
After having a full meal at noon, I lay on the soft big bed, stretching my body, feeling indescribably comfortable.
Before they knew it, they all overslept. It was grandma who first woke Cheng Yaoyao up, "Yaoyao, wake up, our chicken is missing, and we can't even find the bag. Was it stolen by the neighbor?"
"There are rich people living in luxurious villas around here, who would steal our chicken?" Cheng Yaoyao was half asleep. She touched her phone to check the time and it was already two o'clock.
She quickly ran upstairs and woke everyone up. She also took out all the live chickens in the space and slaughtered them together to save grandma from worrying about losing them.
The three of them washed their faces, took their car keys and went out.
The first thing to look for in the afternoon is the shelves. Things cannot be placed randomly, as that would waste space and cause things to squeeze each other, making the place a mess.
The three of them first went to the factory to buy a batch of load-bearing shelves, all made of steel, which were very sturdy. They also bought twenty sorting robots to save their own energy.
Luo Jiu told Cheng Yaoyao to wait for the delivery and rushed to the water plant to order water. But when he calculated the quantity, he was a little confused.
Normally, a family's annual water consumption is more than 100 tons. If you order for 50 years, that would be 5,000 tons, which would take up a lot of space!
Zhong Jialing said: "It's okay. When the end of the world comes, we will implement a water conservation plan and use the stored water for drinking. There is no need to store so much water, right?"
Feng Qi didn't believe it. "I can do it, but don't you feel uncomfortable if you don't take a shower for a day? Can you bear it?"
Luo Jiu scratched his head. "Well, let's stock up on 3,000 tons of drinking water first, and then buy a few more water purification equipment. Once the water supply is cut off, we can get our own water for daily use."
In this way, they stockpiled 3,000 tons of Wahaha drinking water and bought three sets of large-scale water purification equipment.
After solving the water problem, we need to solve the electricity problem.
Generators are indispensable, including diesel generators, wind turbines, hydroelectric generators, and thermal generators, ten of each, to ensure that no matter what happens, everyone has electricity.
At the same time, a large amount of fuel was purchased, including 20 tons of coal and 20 tons of firewood.
Diesel is a problem because relevant regulations do not allow private individuals to hold more than 1,000 liters of diesel. If you want to buy in large quantities, you have to go through procedures and also need a certificate issued by the local authorities.
Zhong Jialing: "Can you make a fake certificate?"
"No, once it's discovered, we will be held legally responsible. By then, not only will we lose time in stockpiling, but we will also be locked up."
Luo Jiu thought for a moment and said, "Let's buy some empty barrels first and then think of a solution after the apocalypse."
After the apocalypse, the world will enter a period of disorder, and no one will care about rules and laws. However, there will be zombies everywhere, and if you want to go out, you must prepare enough equipment first.
The three of them searched for usable equipment in a large outdoor chain store. There were waterproof, fireproof, and everything else, except for any anti-zombie equipment.
Feng Qi was a little discouraged. "It seems like these are useless. Why don't we just stock up on some more garlic?"
Luo Jiu smiled helplessly, "It's a zombie, not a zombie. Garlic is useful, and the cafeteria won't fall. You can buy dozens of these things. The end of the world is usually accompanied by extreme weather, so it's always right to be waterproof and fireproof."
"That's right," Zhong Jialing also said, "After being bitten by a zombie, you will mutate in seconds. But I don't want to be drowned or burned to death, it's so painful."
Luo Jiu suddenly had an idea in his mind, "You guys buy it here, I'll be back later."
Luo Jiu went out in a hurry, not knowing where to go. Zhong Jialing looked around and started placing orders frantically.
Fifty sets of tents, inflatable mattresses, sleeping bags and windproof blankets for camping.
Feng Qi was puzzled: "Are we going to go out into the wild and fight guerrilla warfare with those things?"
"Don't worry about it. What if it comes in handy? I'm just prepared."
Zhong Jialing didn’t have any plans and just hoarded whatever she saw.
Windproof lighters, 20 boxes. Fire blankets, 500. Fire extinguishers, 400. Life ropes, 400. Gas masks, 1,000.
Outdoor survival kits, 100 pieces. Night vision helmets, 400 pieces. Outdoor lights, 100 pieces. Stab-proof suits, 500 sets.
Feng Qi picked up a stab-proof suit and tried it on. "This thing is called a stab-proof suit, but it's actually just a vest. It protects the heart, but the key is that we have to protect the whole body, not even a little bit of flesh can be exposed."
The clerk heard the conversation between the two and said hurriedly, "Do you want airtight protective gear? Yes, please follow me."
The two were overjoyed. There was actually equipment that could protect the whole body? How come I had never heard of it before? If there was such useful equipment, why did the official only provide bulletproof vests and bulletproof helmets?
The two of them thought about it randomly, and walked to the place where the clerk led them, and were stunned for a moment. This protection is not that protection.
It was a set of protective clothing specially designed for beekeepers. It really covered from head to toe, and it was one-piece. Not even a small bee could fly into it. But the problem was, wasn't it too bulky?
Feng Qi volunteered to try it on, and after wearing it for only three minutes he walked around the store and was almost suffocated.
The only thing on her body that was not there was a mesh ventilation valve on her back. When she took it off, her face was covered in sweat and her whole body was wet. She was so tired that she lay on the ground gasping for breath.
"Forget it," Feng Qi said breathlessly, "I think we should focus on offense instead of just defending. It's hard to move in this, it's no different from lying in a coffin and waiting to die."
Zhong Jialing held her chin up and came up with a bold idea, "Hey, how about we buy a real coffin? Cut some ventilation holes on the coffin and hide it inside."
Feng Qi couldn't help laughing, "You are really smart. Imagine, we hide in the coffin and play hide-and-seek with the zombies. They can smell and there is no way they can't find us. Once they find us, the zombies will block us in the coffin and we won't be able to escape."
She patted Zhong Jialing on the shoulder and said, "With our IQs, we should not use tricks. I think it's better to use brute force."
Feng Qi got up and took out a hammer and a military shovel from the display stand. "How about this? As long as I'm full, I'll shovel it's head off with this one."
Zhong Jialing thought about it and thought it was possible. In their previous life, they had experience in close combat with zombies.
Although this thing is scary and disgusting, it is not immortal. The head will immediately wither after falling off, and the remaining part will lie on the ground waiting to be infested with maggots. It has no attack power at all.
Once, a zombie grabbed Luo Jiu's neck and opened his mouth to bite him. Feng Qi flew up holding a pillar and kicked the zombie, actually breaking his neck.
If you think about it carefully, they had killed three or four zombies in their previous lives, so they had some combat experience. But the problem was that they had no food or water at that time. If they hadn't relied on instant noodles, bread, and water cups found in the desks of each class to maintain their physical strength, they wouldn't have lasted even fifteen days.
Moreover, 99% of the people caught by the zombies will be assimilated and mutated into new zombies. The four of them were getting weaker and weaker, and the enemies were increasing at a terrifying rate, so it was getting harder and harder to bear in the later stages.
Zhong Jialing glanced at the bustling crowd on the street and couldn't help but sigh.
She couldn't even imagine how they could win if all these people turned into zombies in ten days.
Feng Qi selected various weapons, including daggers, bows and arrows, baseball bats, and large iron balls with chains.
Feng Qi said that she would practice the meteor iron ball well, and could smash one with one ball, and two with two balls.
These things are only available in large outdoor stores. If the boss wasn't a military fan, he wouldn't have bought them at all. There wasn't much stock, less than a hundred of each, and the two of them bought them all.
Weapons are available, but once the apocalypse begins, zombies will swarm in endlessly. These weapons are too crude, will they really work?
Zhong Jialing was just thinking about it when Luo Jiu came back from outside with a happy face, "How's the shopping going?"
"Almost. This beekeeper's protective suit is very bulky. Do you want it?"
Luo Jiu touched the thickness of the protective suit, which was about three or four centimeters. No wonder the store sold it for a thousand yuan a set, it was indeed super thick, and the quality should be reliable.
"Yes, we can improve it later. We need 40 sets of this. In addition, rubber boots and gloves must be thicker. One thousand pairs of gloves, three hundred pairs of size 38 rubber boots, and one hundred pairs of size 40.
She, Zhong Jialing and Cheng Yaoyao all wear size 38 shoes. "You are size 40, right?"
Feng Qi nodded vigorously, "That's right."
After paying the bill, Luo Jiu took their arms and went out happily.
Feng Qi was surprised. "Why are you so happy to go out? What happened?"
"Jia Ling's casual remark just now gave me a new idea. I went to the factory next door and stocked up on a lot of good stuff. Let's find a store to eat something and take a rest. I'll tell you slowly."
The three of them entered a western restaurant. It was the apocalyptic future and everything was peaceful.
Melodious classical music was playing in the restaurant, and the aroma of food was everywhere.
It was a weekday and there were not many customers, so the three of them found a table near the window and sat down. They ordered Australian steak, vegetable salad, signature Spanish ham and cheese pizza, tiramisu, strawberry juice and coffee.
As soon as the waiter left, Luo Jiu waved her hand. The three of them put their heads together and she whispered, "I just bought a hundred chainsaws, two hundred electric batons, and... two hundred flamethrowers."
Zhong Jialing's eyes lit up, "Flamethrower? You want to burn the zombies?"
"Yes, although they are a mutant species, they also have weaknesses. For example, they will die immediately if they lose their heads, and they cannot inject venom into humans without teeth. For another example, fire can burn them. You have such a big swimming pool in your backyard. I think we can make use of it. It might come in handy."
Feng Qi: "Do you want to drown the zombies in the swimming pool?"
"No, the logic of drowning is that people cannot breathe air and drown. But zombies function differently from humans. They do not rely on cardiopulmonary function and do not need to breathe air. Therefore, flooding may not work. However, we can put fuel in the swimming pool. If the yard is breached by zombies one day, we can lure them in and then..."
Feng Qi slammed the table excitedly, "Burn the zombies!"
The people around him frowned and looked over. Feng Qi lowered his head quickly and said, "Sorry, sorry, I got too excited talking about a movie."
Luo Jiu and Zhong Jialing buried their heads in the table and laughed secretly until they felt that the people around them were no longer paying attention to them.
Feng Qi touched his nose and said, "So, we have a great chance of survival this time?"
"Of course, with a solid fortress, sufficient food, and good weapons, we can certainly survive for a long time. Not to mention zombies, we are not afraid of natural disasters. Let's go and buy equipment to prevent earthquakes, extreme heat and extreme cold, and we can sleep peacefully until we are a hundred years old."
The steak and pizza were served quickly. Each of the three people grabbed a large, crispy pizza topped with shredded cheese and salty, fresh Spanish ham.
After taking a bite, Zhong Jialing immediately raised her hand and asked the waiter to add another one for their table and make another 1,000 and send them to No. 88 Fengshan Road.
While eating, Zhong Jialing suddenly thought of a question, "We have enough money, but I don't know if we have enough space."
Luo Jiu calculated in his mind, "We will go and stock up on daily necessities later, and see how much space is left after that. The space shows that the upgrade function will be enabled in ten days. Perhaps, after the upgrade, the space will become a few sizes larger."
The space will indeed become larger after the upgrade, but a very rigid condition needs to be met. However, now they have no idea what will happen in ten days.
