Chapter 6 Suicheng
On the black mini notebook, the color of the previous line of text changed from dark black to light gray, as if the task had been completed.
At the bottom, a new line of words appeared: [Company punch-in task completed, get 5% progress bar of raft level 2; get extra progress bar bonus 5%. (Current progress of raft level 2: 10%)]
An extra 5%! ?
This gave Shu Fu a bit of a surprise, but at the same time, it also gave her a hint.
She pressed the "book" icon for a long time and closed her notebook. Considering everything that had happened before, could it be that the focus of this task was on - Zheng Feifei?
Because she dropped her phone, Zheng Feifei was slowed down and thus escaped the disaster. On the other hand, if there had not been this 5% progress bar task, she would have asked for leave today according to her original plan, and Zheng Feifei would not have turned back because of her, and might have been hit by the falling glass.
So a new question arises: what will happen if she doesn’t punch in to work today to complete this task?
Is it simply that I can't get the 5% progress bar, or will there be some irreversible consequences?
At present, she prefers the former, because if there will be irreversible consequences if the task is not completed, a corresponding prompt should have appeared when the task appeared before.
The scene was tragic. Among the people who were hit, one died and two were injured. Zheng Feifei witnessed the scene up close. She was frightened and had psychological and physiological reactions. She was unable to eat anything at noon and finally pulled Shu Fu back to the company.
In the afternoon, everyone in the building was talking about this incident, and those in the building who were lucky enough to escape the disaster were all scared.
Every building in the commercial district has a signboard, which is usually made of special materials, light and corrosion-resistant. There are always special people to check and repair it at fixed times. I didn’t expect such a tragedy to happen this time. It is said that the signboard fell off together with the metal rod fixed at the back. I can only say that I was really unlucky...
This high-altitude falling object incident was quickly posted on the Internet. There were many people near the scene at the time, and the video could not be contained. People who followed this incident online discovered that this was not the only high-altitude falling object incident that occurred today.
Some residential buildings have sliding windows that are not closed tightly and are made of ordinary glass. When strong winds blow, the window frames hit the wall and the glass shatters and falls off.
It just so happened that there were few pedestrians in other places, and the fall of the heavy object only scared the people passing by nearby. Only here, because it was lunch time for the employees of various companies in the building, there was a dense flow of people.
Although Shu Fu did not witness the scene up close, he was also frightened. This was different from the disasters that would happen in the future. It was full of unpredictability and unknowns. Life and death were only a matter of a moment, and it was impossible to guard against it at all.
She stayed in the company for an hour and finally decided to take the afternoon off.
The 5% progress bar task has been completed, and she doesn't want to stay here and waste time.
Because of the accident, many employees in the building who witnessed the scene had stress reactions to varying degrees, and other people also took leave. Zheng Feifei was the same. She even called her boyfriend and asked him to pick her up.
**
After she left the company, she drove straight to the west of the city. When she passed a gas station, she went in and filled up her car with gas. She also bought five 30L portable oil drums. Then, naturally, she filled up all five portable oil drums at the gas station. There was more than enough space in the trunk for the oil drums.
After that, the car passed by a large auto repair shop. The car she was driving now was rented on a monthly basis, which was much cheaper than daily rental. Because the car was a bit old and it was a hatchback, it only cost 2,000 yuan a month.
She really needs a car now, but doesn't want to waste money on buying one, so she plans to lease this car for a long time.
After considering it, she drove the car to the auto repair shop and asked them to put one-way film on the car windows.
If only the car window film is applied, the whole work will take about an hour and cost more than 1,900 yuan.
If this type of expenditure exceeds a certain amount, it can be paid in installments. She chooses the longest installment period for all of them. Although she has to pay some interest, compared with the cost of stockpiling large quantities of goods, it is definitely more cost-effective to use installment payments.
If it was really Zhuang Zhou in the butterfly dream, and the end of the world had not come a year later, she would be willing to pay the interest and debt.
Shu Fu arrived at the electronics store at 3:42 p.m. She had already stored all five portable oil drums in the trunk into the space on her bracelet under the cover of a one-way membrane.
The first thing she bought was a gasoline generator. She found the corresponding brand according to the guide she had made earlier. This camping generator is famous for its low noise. When she listened to it in the video yesterday, she thought the sound was very quiet. Today, she asked the store owner to try it out on the spot, and the quietness effect was better than she imagined.
She originally planned to buy two generators, but the situation is different now. She has more time to live, and considering the service life of the generator, which is about 15 years, and the possibility of malfunctions, she calculated the price and bought four generators directly.
Afterwards, I bought four hot pot and barbecue machines that are convenient for making cooked food.
Then, two energy-saving self-cooking pots that can cook and make soup, three stewing cups, four induction cookers, ten energy-saving lamps that can be charged and plugged in, a small double-door refrigerator, two microwave ovens, two ovens, a drum washing machine and a pulsator washing machine, two mobile phones with extra-large memory, three tablets with extra-large memory, ten extension cords, twenty large-capacity power banks, three heaters, twenty explosion-proof electric water bottles, and ten hand warmers...
She already has some of these home appliances at home, which were all newly purchased. She is buying them now as backup.
For these electrical appliances, she would move the smaller ones directly into the car, and for the larger ones, she would leave her address for delivery. Of course, the address she left was the battery garage.
She hesitated when passing by the air-conditioning shop. The cabin seemed to be able to maintain a constant temperature that was comfortable for the human body, but the raft could only be used for 5 hours a day. Even if it was upgraded to level 2, it might not be able to be used all day.
In low-temperature conditions, you can put on more clothes and use a kerosene stove for heating, but if you encounter extremely hot weather, you will have to rely on air conditioning.
But the problem is that for a modern person like her with average skills, it is really impossible for her to install an air conditioner on her own...
And she couldn't guarantee that she would be alone when she temporarily sought a shelter. When others were drinking water because of the heat, she would take out an air conditioner...was she pretending?
In the end, Shu Fu gave up. There was a cabinet and a floor-standing air conditioner in the living room and bedroom, both of which were newly bought. At worst, she could just dismantle them and take them away. She planned to store more ice cubes in the space to prolong her life.
With this thought in mind, she turned back to the refrigerator and freezer area and bought four household ice makers. The machines were not big and not expensive, costing just over 300 yuan each, for a total of 1,300 yuan.
The heat problem has been solved, but she needs cold-resistant supplies for the low temperatures, so she will have to go to the wholesale market to buy some later.
After coming out of the electronics store, she was starving. Thinking that she hadn't had lunch yet, she went to the nearby food city first.
The food city is about ten minutes’ drive from the electronics city. As soon as she stepped into the food city, she was greeted by all kinds of overbearing aromas. In an instant, she had only one thought in her mind: she wanted to stock up on delicious food!
She wants to store all the delicious food here in her space!
Of course she knew that this idea was unrealistic. It would be okay to buy a dozen or twenty copies from a dozen stores, but if she really bought them all here, it would still attract attention.
Shu Fu didn't have lunch, and now that it was almost time for lunch, she felt a little hungry. She found a nearby rice noodle restaurant and ordered a bowl of spicy beef rice noodles and a fried chicken steak to fill herself up first.
Although it is a small shop in the food city, the rice noodle soup is fresh, the beef is crispy and tasty, and the fried chicken steak is crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. It is surprisingly delicious.
When she left, she took away ten servings of spicy beef rice noodles, twenty servings of fried chicken fillets, and twenty servings of fried chicken wings.
The food city and parking lot are both on the underground floor. The food city not only has restaurants, but also sells all kinds of food from all over the world. The second and third floors are commodity wholesale markets. The floors are not high, but the single-story areas are large, and people who come here for the first time will get lost after walking around for a while.
So when she is stocking up on food, she just needs to be careful not to pick stores that are too close, and there will basically be no problem.
On the way to unload the food from the first store, she passed by a branded milk tea shop. Modern office workers have two life-saving magic weapons: milk tea and coffee.
In her original world, she worked a lot at home, so she bought a coffee machine and usually only drank freshly ground coffee. After coming to this world, she was considered a "poor student" in the past few years, so she drank more milk tea and instant coffee.
Milk tea tastes good only when it is made from whole leaf tea and fresh milk, and it also has to have 0-calorie healthy sugar. This milk tea shop happened to meet all of these requirements, so she bought three different flavors according to her usual taste, ten cups of each, the largest cup size.
Of course, 30 cups are far from enough, and the flavors of different brands of milk tea shops are slightly different. Whenever she has the chance, she will stock up.
According to her lifestyle habits, no matter how much milk tea she stockpiles, it will never be enough to drink. However, space is limited and she cannot stockpile all the milk tea, so she included tea leaves, fresh milk, and milk powder without any additives in her shopping list.
Green tea is suitable for making tea, while black tea is suitable for making fresh milk tea. Moreover, tea can provide nutrients and trace elements for the human body, does not take up much space, and can be stockpiled in large quantities.
She borrowed the car to put the rice noodles and fried chicken into the space, and then returned to the food city again. This time, she chose a different door to enter. As soon as she turned a corner, she saw a tea shop by chance. There were several tea shops in a row, selling both green tea and black tea, and each one represented a different brand.
She picked and chose, and bought Biluochun, Longjing, Dahongpao, Jasmine Green Tea... a few of her favorite types, and bought 20 cans of each.
A newly opened bakery was offering a 50% discount on all items as an opening promotion, and its specialty was handmade toasts with a variety of fresh and sweet flavors: coconut toast, pork floss toast, salted egg yolk cheese toast... One toast could be enough for an average person to eat for three or four meals, but she directly took away thirty large toasts with six flavors.
It was a candy store that sold soft candies, hard candies, and lollipops in various shapes and flavors. Shu Fu was attracted by the sweet smell when she passed by. She went in and weighed five or six kinds of candies at different prices. Candies of the same price but different colors and shapes were packed in large transparent bags, ten bags in total, which looked very beautiful.
When she saw the coffee shop, she remembered that she should stock up on two coffee machines. She would just buy an ordinary Italian coffee machine. Italian espresso can be manually brewed with all kinds of coffee. The shelf life of roasted coffee beans is very short. They will not taste good after a long time, so she used to buy more machines after finishing the coffee beans.
But now that she has space, she can stock up a few boxes and hide in the Drifting Island house with a cup of coffee when it's stormy outside. It's a pleasant thought.
She tried the coffee from this store and found it tasty, so she immediately bought ten bags of coffee beans of different flavors. The other party then gave her the address of the online store, saying that she could buy directly online in the future, and it would be delivered to her door. This online store even sells coffee machines, which are also delivered to her door.
Not long after Shu Fu left the coffee shop, he placed an order online for two fully automatic espresso machines and twenty boxes of coffee beans of different flavors, with ten large bags of coffee beans in each box.
She also bought a lot of 0-calorie healthy candies in this store. This kind of candy is very sweet, one gram per stick, half a stick is enough for coffee, and it can also be used for cooking. There are 40 sticks in each box, which is small and does not take up much space. She bought a box with 100 boxes in it.
The beef and mutton specialty store, in addition to basic meats such as fresh lamb chops, mutton, lamb ribs, steaks, original cuts of beef, oxtail bones, and beef shanks, there are also processed meats such as beef and mutton rolls, lamb tripe, beef balls, and lamb skewers.
This store also has an online store. She bought some of each type and then placed a larger order online. Just like the coffee beans, they were delivered to her garage the next day.
After that, she visited a fresh fruit store, a spicy hot pot store, a pizza store, a hamburger store, a fried food store, a curry rice store, a hand-made lemon tea store, a chocolate store, a chicken, duck, poultry, meat, and egg store... and bought the maximum amount of food in each store that she could carry with two hands.
For some things that can be bought online, you can just find the online store and place an order immediately, such as different kinds of fruits and fresh produce such as chicken, duck, poultry, meat, eggs and milk. In an era of national prosperity and strong people, you don't have to worry about not buying enough, but you only have to worry about not having enough money. As long as the money is in place, you can buy as much as you want, and they will be delivered to your door the next day.
She placed an order for 40 boxes of chicken, duck, meat, eggs, dairy products and 30 boxes of different kinds of fruit, and deliberately avoided other orders for home delivery the next day.
In order to save time, she never hesitated when choosing things. She just bought and left. After going back and forth several times, she used the car as a cover to find a thin, long-sleeved, hooded sweatshirt that she had picked up in the supermarket yesterday, changed her denim jacket, let her long hair that was originally tied into a bun down, changed the color of the mask, and then entered the wholesale market upstairs from another entrance.
The wholesale market is two or three times the size of the food city, and there are long corridors between the shops that stretch as far as you can see.
Because this wholesale market is located in the city, it can be used for both wholesale and retail. Carts of various sizes are available for rent at the entrance. No matter how much a woman buys here, it will not attract attention because other people will just buy more than her.
With such a big place and so many kinds of goods, it was impossible for her to buy everything she needed today, and she also had to rush back to sign for the local supplies she bought online yesterday. However, she planned to come here to stock up whenever she had the chance, as it would be more convenient to have everything complete.
She definitely can't attend class properly, and stockpiling things is her main job now.
She looked through the notes on her phone and first bought a gas stove, replacement gas cans, alcohol cans, solid alcohol, and matching pots. These pots are actually camping cooking utensils. Cups and soup pots all have handles or hooks. They can be used as bowls or pots for cooking soup, which is suitable for her empty drifting house.
She also took a windproof, waterproof and warm tent. She also had an ordinary small tent at home, so this one was a backup and was enough.
Portable ignition tools are also very important. The lighters in the survival backpack are just accessories and there are too few of them. She saw a windproof ignition spray gun here. It is hand-held and has a lock. It can burn through cans in two or three seconds. The spray gun is not expensive. The more you buy, the more discounts you get. She directly took a box with 100 bottles in it.
After buying the spray gun, she thought about batteries. Although she bought a generator, many small devices cannot do without batteries, which are also consumables.
Commonly used batteries are smaller in size. Based on the daily battery usage habits of her home devices, she combined the quantities of several commonly used batteries and bought a box, which contains about 500 batteries. In addition, she also bought 100 rechargeable batteries that come with a charging box. This type of battery can be recharged and reused, but the effect is not as good as the original battery.
Next came the cold-resistant clothing, including a down jacket that could withstand temperatures as low as minus fifty degrees Celsius, down pants, waterproof warm boots, and waterproof warm gloves, which were considered the basic set for keeping warm. She calculated the price of the full set and bought two sets.
Then she bought three to five sets of fleece coats, thermal underwear, and waterproof jackets and pants according to her needs. These clothes can be layered, and together with the winter clothes she already had at home, they were enough.
After all, she was prepared to survive, and as long as she stockpiled enough supplies, there was no way she would leave the shelter.
Finally, she bought a large box of heating packs. Unlike rechargeable hand warmers, these are disposable heating packs. They automatically heat up for 8 to 10 hours after you tear open the package. You can throw them away after use. They are very convenient. Each pack is small and thin. There are 1,000 packs in a box.
Then came the stockpiling of various daily necessities, including towels, underwear, sanitary napkins, tampons, tissue rolls, bath shampoo, toothpaste, toothbrushes, laundry detergent, dishwashing liquid, disinfectant, ordinary wet wipes, alcohol wet wipes, alcohol spray, hand sanitizer, hand washing gel...
She had a lot of these things at home. She had bought some at the supermarket before and had also placed orders online for a lot of them. But because they were all consumables, she continued to buy them whenever she saw them.
Later, I bought some simple curtains that can be installed manually, including blinds, cloth curtains and gauze curtains, which were prepared for the drifting island house.
The last thing she stocked up on before leaving that night was rain gear: a hooded poncho, a button-down raincoat, an umbrella, rain boots, a waterproof backpack, waterproof pants, and finally she bought several large rolls of transparent waterproof plastic sheeting so she could DIY it when needed.
She drove away at around seven in the evening. The wholesale market was still very busy. It was raining heavily outside, but it was just rain. The weather was neither too cold nor too hot, which did not hinder the original life plans of the city dwellers.
A large number of people come here to buy goods every day, and Shu Fu's car is also filled with various items that can be temporarily placed outside. She has put all the instant food or frozen fresh food into the space.
As she drove, she sensed the supplies in the space, then reached out and touched the passenger seat which was piled with supplies. She was once again surrounded by a full sense of security.
Shu Fu was in a good mood, and even the heavy rain and traffic jams couldn't affect her mood.
She listened to the crackling sound of rain falling on the roof of the car and turned on the car radio. The host was talking about daily life related to the weather, popularizing some safety precautions on rainy days, mentioning last night's hail, analyzing the future weather, and telling a joke from time to time.
Shu Fu took out a cup of pearl peach gum milk tea from the space, and drank it while listening to the radio. When she was listening with gusto, she felt her bracelet vibrate again.
While waiting for a long red light, she turned on her bracelet, and the "book" icon on it started flashing again.
New fonts appeared in the black mini notebook.
[Check the group message at 18:04 within half an hour, accept the invitation, and you will get a 10% progress bar for level 2 of the raft. (Current progress of level 2 of the raft: 10%)
Note: Failure to complete this task will deduct 15% of the progress bar. 】
Shu Fu: ...
This is outrageous. Can the percentage progress bar be deducted to a negative number?
