"Today will be cloudy turning sunny, with a high of 35 degrees Celsius and a low of 32 degrees Celsius..."
According to the latest news from Xinhua News Agency, 21 gas stations belonging to Shell Oil Company, a world-renowned multinational oil company founded in 1907, and its research and development center in California, USA, mysteriously disappeared yesterday. It is reported that the gasoline reserves at these 21 gas stations...
Li Yao listened to the news while washing up. It was very hot today, so she braided her hair into two pigtails. This would make it easier to wear the invisible cloak, and more importantly, it wouldn't be too hot.
Li Yao woke up at 7:30 this morning. Her body seemed to have developed a habit of taking out a seafood porridge, a basket of shrimp dumplings, a basket of custard buns, and a plate of oyster sauce lettuce from the [Infinite Space]. She turned on the variety show she had been watching and started to enjoy her breakfast.
"Master, please pick up your meal at the office building at 8:15. There are 5 minutes left until the pick-up time." At 8:10, Dazhuang's voice rang out in the room.
This was set up by Dazhuang to remind Li Yao that the connected speaker was the TV stereo in the house, so Li Yao could hear it while eating in the dining room. After replying to Dazhuang, Li Yao teleported back to the bedroom, took out her invisibility cloak, and began changing clothes.
Li Yao was already very skilled at wearing the invisibility cloak. Its fastening was in the front, making it very convenient, and it would automatically adjust to fit the body's curves after being put on.
Li Yao got dressed, checked the time—8:14—and teleported to the living room. Sitting on the sofa, she opened the [Teleportation Door]. Before her was the office building's breakfast storage area. Without getting up, she used [Spatial Conversion], her hand appearing on the breakfast boxes. With a thought, all the boxes were stored in the [Infinite Space]. After storing the office building's breakfast, Li Yao reset the [Teleportation Door]'s destination. She found her usual location on the door, selected the warehouse address in G City, and just like before, stored 200 servings of seafood porridge and 1000 servings of various Hong Kong-style dim sum.
After that, Li Yao kept changing locations, opening doors, and packing things up. She was busy until 10 o'clock. After finishing packing up breakfast, Li Yao went to the office building to discuss the issue of stockpiling goods in the "travel" category with Da Zhuang.
All the computers in the office building were still running at high speed. Dazhuang would occasionally move between the computers to replace their hard drives. Actually, Li Yao could communicate with Dazhuang on a tablet at home, but Li Yao always felt that face-to-face interaction was more atmospheric, mainly because it wouldn't be much trouble for Li Yao to come over.
Regarding the "travel" aspect, Li Yao mainly considered some unforeseen circumstances. For example, if the latitude and longitude of the place she wanted to go were inaccurate and could only be roughly located, then Li Yao would need to drive to find it. Or, if the location of an island on the sea was affected by network problems and the teleportation portal could not reach its exact location, then Li Yao would have to use a boat to find it. A motorhome is also an essential mobile home in the apocalypse. Although it is not as comfortable as a villa that Li Yao can take out and live in at any time, it always feels like something is missing without it, so it is also essential. In addition, Li Yao plans to go abroad to get some armored vehicles, tanks, airplanes, etc., which Da Zhuang can operate and drive. He is the best driver.
Regarding off-road vehicles, Dazhuang provided some performance data for cars currently on the market. Li Yao didn't quite understand these, so she told Dazhuang to choose the one with the best performance that wouldn't break down in extreme weather.
Dazhuang chose a Mercedes-Benz Unimok, an ORV (Off-Road Vehicle) designed specifically for off-road driving. Originally designed as a small general-purpose truck, the Unimok is compact enough to tow a flatbed trailer ten times its own weight. With a power range of 40 to 177 kilowatts, this off-road vehicle can easily traverse both icy and humid environments.
Li Yao thought it was a good idea. Since there were no cars available in China, she used Da Zhuang's location to go to the Mercedes-Benz headquarters and bought the car, as well as a Unimog U5023 off-road RV. This way, Da Zhuang could drive while Li Yao could rest in the back. She also bought a Mercedes-Benz Unimog 8x8 off-road RV, a Centurion 2000 (12 meters long, 5.4 meters high, and 2.5 meters wide). Li Yao felt that buying only the RVs would be too revealing, so she bought the Mercedes-Benz dealership, its repair warehouse, spare parts warehouse, and the entire dealership.
This Mercedes-Benz dealership is one of the larger ones in New York, mainly selling Unimog models, so there was still quite a bit of stock in the warehouse. Li Yao finally counted them: a total of 23 Unimog series vehicles and 3 Centurion trucks.
Back in her office, Li Yao had the system check, and the repair shop had the tire parts models for her RVs and SUVs. Li Yao thought this would save her a lot of trouble.
In addition, Dazhuang also chose a Hummer H1, whose body is constructed from aluminum alloy, steel, and fiberglass, primarily for maintaining high stability on uneven roads. Although it has a 6,500cc displacement, it consumes relatively little fuel; it features a 6.5-liter V8 diesel engine from General Motors, producing 170 horsepower and an impressive 40.1 kgm of torque. There is also a 6.5-liter turbocharged diesel engine, producing 190 horsepower and an even higher 53.3 kgm of torque, with a towing capacity exceeding four tons. Both engines are electronically fuel-injected, providing stable and smooth power output.
Li Yao thought the car was great, so she decided to buy it for free overseas. It was still a Hummer store. Da Zhuang specially chose a store with a repair shop and parts warehouse. There were 6 cars in stock. Li Yao took the car, the house, and the warehouse together.
Both Hummer and Mercedes are quite eye-catching, so Li Yao chose the Chrysler Wrangler based on the other options Da Zhuang listed, which has advantages such as a spacious body, novel design, agile handling, powerful engine, and strong adaptability.
There's also the Land Rover Range Rover, known for its durability and excellent off-road performance.
