Liu Kai didn't have time to sit in his office drinking tea any longer.
Time is of the essence; he needs to scout out locations for the "zero-yuan purchase" as soon as possible.
He signed an outing form in the office and left in a hurry.
Our first stop was the No. 3 tobacco warehouse, which was under the jurisdiction of our unit.
The doomsday bunker only contained some cigars and liquor, the kind of stuff even dogs wouldn't eat.
As a country bumpkin, Liu Kai prefers cigarettes and draft beer.
They made a show of inspecting the tobacco warehouse and planning their "route" for May 6th before leaving.
Liu Kai then followed the same method.
I went to the market and offered cigarettes to the vendors one by one, chatting with them for a while.
After the conversation, he realized how wrong he was: the large cold storage here was full of frozen meat, mainly pork.
The warehouses for fresh vegetables and fruits are not located here at all, but in a fruit and vegetable distribution center in the suburbs 10 kilometers away.
Having obtained the answer he wanted, he then went to the main warehouse of RT-Mart supermarket in Fenghai City.
This large warehouse covers an area of 60,000 square meters and is said to store nearly 200 million yuan worth of goods.
Unfortunately, the warehouse is a restricted area and unauthorized personnel are not allowed to enter.
Before they could even see the magnificent Liu Kai inside, they were stopped by the dutiful gatekeeper.
Finally, he went to the fruit and vegetable distribution center the vegetable vendor had told him about, and a craft beer brewery not far from there.
Fortunately, there aren't as many rules at the distribution center and the fresh beer factory.
Liu Kai, posing as a customer, quickly completed the site visit and reconnaissance.
He originally planned to include the warehousing center of "Miaoshou Pharmaceutical Trading Co., Ltd." in Fenghai City in his site visit.
In the end, I gave up on the idea.
The bunker contained a wide range of commonly used medications, and enough for him to use for many years.
Under these circumstances, it would be extremely unwise to rob a medical warehouse.
Moreover, there are many special police officers guarding the medical warehouse around the clock, armed and on duty.
After the apocalypse, most of the medicines here were assets that the government saved immediately.
They certainly wouldn't let it sit in the warehouse and go to waste.
Back in his car, he opened his phone, marked the five locations on the map, and began planning his route.
Although the fruit and vegetable distribution center is located in the farthest place, its operating hours are quite unique.
Fruits and vegetables from nearby towns are gradually brought in for storage between 1 a.m. and 3 a.m., and many vegetable vendors come to purchase goods around 4 a.m.
The gap in the middle is only 1 hour.
So the first stop was chosen here, and the plan was to come and empty the warehouse at 3:30 a.m. on May 6th.
The second stop was a craft beer brewery, which was also the time when the security guards were most tired in the early morning.
The third stop was the main warehouse of RT-Mart supermarket in the city center. The supermarket would pick up the goods from the warehouse before 5 o'clock.
The fourth stop was the frozen meat warehouse at the vegetable market, and the fifth stop was the tobacco company warehouse.
The plan is complete, and it's now 3 PM, the hottest time of the day.
Anyway, he signed the travel permit, and no one at his workplace asked him where he was going.
Liu Kai hasn't eaten a single bite of food so far, all because he's been scouting locations.
I put the densely filled notebook into the storage space for safekeeping, and just buy a boxed lunch to tide me over.
The text message notification of the advance salary payment arrived.
He smiled with relief as he looked at his account balance of 1,024,500 yuan.
With the "zero-yuan purchase" bonus, this amount of money, though not much, is enough.
...
Liu Kai felt even busier in the afternoon.
First, they arrived at a deserted wilderness and, after confirming that no one was around, they threw the skeletons they had stored in their storage space the night before onto the open ground.
Then they dumped all the mud, bricks, and ill-fitting clothes out and piled them firmly on the bones.
This can be considered a way to give this once powerful leader in the provincial government a peaceful rest in peace.
After finishing all this, he rushed to the city center without stopping.
We soon arrived at the Ralph Lauren clothing store.
This brand is considered high-end to some extent; the saying goes, "A farmer riding a horse and swinging a pickaxe, I sell one for three thousand eight."
Normally, buying a piece of clothing requires gritting one's teeth, but now one can splurge.
With a wave of his hand, he bought 20 sets of autumn/winter casual clothes, plus 5 sets of pajamas.
When it came time to buy underwear and socks, the saleswoman was dumbfounded.
"Excuse me, sir, I didn't quite hear you when you said how many underwear and socks you wanted."
"Ten pounds of underwear and twenty pounds of socks, what's wrong?"
She took a few careful glances at the young man in front of her, and then recalled how generous he was when he swiped his card to buy clothes.
The saleswoman suppressed her doubts and the urge to call a mental hospital.
Pick up the walkie-talkie and notify the warehouse to send over the goods.
The warehouse staff were also confused, and they had to double-check several times before they dared to believe it: it turns out that people really do buy clothes by weight!
Liu Kai doesn't plan to do "zero-yuan purchases" for things like clothes.
Because the prerequisite for "zero-yuan purchase" is to scout out the location and plan the route.
Each additional destination means that the route and time need to be readjusted.
The temperature dropped rapidly on May 6th, and there was a risk of being trapped in the freezing cold if one was not careful.
He also doesn't plan to shop online, because who knows if those unreliable delivery services will cause delays on the way.
Soon, the sales clerks came out of the clothing store carrying large and small bags and warmly helped him put the clothes he bought into his car.
Balance: 910,000
Next, we'll go to an outdoor gear store.
The clothes I just bought are all thin casual wear, which I can only wear briefly inside the bunker.
What you really need to wear in freezing weather is genuine, warm clothing and hats.
We arrived at a fairly well-known large chain outdoor equipment store.
Under the boss's look of utter disbelief, he blurted out that he wanted to buy 10 sets of winter clothing that could withstand temperatures as low as -60°C.
