Chapter 4 Confession
The name Crazy Takeaway Plan was thought up by Ye Xun himself.
He planned to order a lot of takeout while it was still available, then store it in the space, and take it out when the end of the world comes, and it will still be as fresh and hot as if it had just come out of the pot.
Takeout not only includes food but also drinks, all the popular takeouts in City S are included in the plan.
After ordering the dinner he wanted to eat today, Ye Xun started placing the order on the Choutuan food delivery app.
He had eaten this fried chicken last time and it tasted very good. He wanted 10.
The crayfish there are big and fresh, and taste good. The 8-pound set meal comes with 10 servings of each flavor.
The boiled fish and pickled fish at X's are both signature dishes, and they rank among the top three on the food list of S city. So let's order more, 30 servings of each.
There are also 30 cups of milk tea, 30 cups of coffee, 50 buckets of fried skewers, and 50 servings of barbecue.
Although the number of these is large, it only makes people curious and does not make people think too much. In the next three months, Ye Xun plans to stock up on supplies in different cities. He is not in a hurry to stock up too much at one time, as this will be too big a target.
The ordered takeouts were delivered one after another and were immediately collected by Ye Xun into the storage area of the space and placed on the food shelves.
This kind of work requires a lot of brainpower, and you can even do it while eating.
Ye Xun quickly finished the last bite of fried rice, put the garbage into the takeaway bag, and then threw it into the trash can.
Now it is only three days away from the Chinese New Year. Ye Xun told his family that he would go home tomorrow, and he probably won't come back to this apartment again. When he rented the apartment, except for the hard furnishings, everything else was added by him slowly later. Now that he has confirmed that he will not be coming back, it is natural to put all of them into the space. After all, they were all bought with money.
The two-meter-wide bed in the bedroom was specially customized at that time, so I took it away. The projector I bought in my sophomore year was quite expensive at that time, but after two years, its performance is still better than similar products on the market, so I took it away!
The air conditioning in the apartment is not very useful and will be completely unusable in future extreme weather conditions, so it will be left to the landlord.
When I bought the refrigerator in the kitchen, I asked for the best quality. There is a lot of food in it, so I put it away!
Rice cookers, induction cookers, and microwave ovens are definitely used for cooking, and the tableware and knives in the cupboard are also placed in the space.
The sofas, carpets, tables and chairs in the living room were also packed up and put away.
After putting these things away, the apartment became empty in an instant.
In order to avoid wasting anything, he even took away the curtains. Now, through the window glass, he could directly see the black sky outside. He also had no tools, otherwise Ye Xun would have pried away the tiles, doors of each room, and ceiling lights.
The emptied room was no longer suitable for sleeping, so Ye Xun simply washed up and went straight into the space to sleep.
The light and darkness in space follow the rising and setting of the sun and moon on Earth. What is different is that the day and night here are divided into 12 hours on average, and the night falls and the day comes directly without any signs.
It was night when Ye Xun entered the space. The chickens and ducks in the pen were already asleep. The huge space was quiet, without the sounds of people and cars in the bustling city. Ye Xun fell asleep soon after lying down in the quilt. It was a rare sound sleep.
It was bright in the morning and Ye Xun couldn't even stay in bed anymore, so he had to get up.
"It seems that I need to put a house in the space." Ye Xun thought to himself while brushing his teeth.
After washing up, Ye Xun opened the food delivery app again and bought 300 vegetable buns, 300 meat buns, and 200 tea eggs directly from a nearby breakfast shop.
Before leaving, I walked around the apartment again to make sure nothing was forgotten before going out.
The warehouse is in the suburbs. There are no gas stations along the road before getting on the highway and entering the service area, so before leaving the city, I filled up the gas at the gas station and bought a few cigarettes and a bottle of water at the convenience store.
He drank water when he was thirsty on the road, and Ye Xun didn't smoke, because he was saving it for the end-of-the-world transaction.
The current class gap will not disappear in the end times but will become wider. The value of tobacco, alcohol and tea in the end times is unimaginable for people in a peaceful society.
After the train started, Ye Xun went straight to the warehouse without stopping.
Fortunately, it is winter now, and the sellers cannot put in a lot of ice, so some frozen foods have not spoiled after being left overnight, they are just a little softened. So when Ye Xun collects things, he picks out the perishable ones first, preferably the ones that can be stored for a longer time.
Condoms and sanitary napkins are placed on the shelves where supplies are stored.
Now only the medicine shelves are left empty.
The frozen foods in the space will be put in the freezer when they return to H City. Speaking of freezers, there are none at home. Ye Xun plans to buy 10 large freezers, because in addition to frozen foods, some vaccines and medicines also need to be frozen. Of course, there are also delicious ice cream and popsicles.
After collecting the things in the warehouse, Ye Xun set off for City H.
Although City S and City H are in the same province, they are neighbors. It only takes less than an hour to travel by high-speed rail and about two hours by car.
During the Spring Festival travel rush, the time doubles.
Poor Ye Xun bought some water but didn't dare to drink too much. After all, there were so many cars stuck on the road and if he had to pee urgently, there wasn't even enough space between the cars for him to drive down.
At this time, Ye Xun could only feel lucky that he had considered this issue before setting off and went to the toilet in advance. It was not like the first time he drove home by himself, when his face turned blue from holding it in the car. It was all lessons learned from experience.
As we drove on and off, raindrops began to fall sparsely, splashing on the glass.
When he got bored of waiting, Ye Xun counted the raindrops falling on the car in front of him.
We stopped and walked along the way and finally arrived home at lunch time.
They arrived at the home of Ye's parents. After Ye Xun was admitted to university, the couple gave him a sum of money and asked him to buy an apartment and move out so as not to disturb their world of two.
Normally, as long as he was in H City, Ye Xun would come once a week to have a meal and interrupt the two of them's time to spend together. In the words of Ye's father, giving birth to a son was to collect debts.
That being said, every time Ye Xun came back, he cooked the dishes that Ye Xun loved to eat. Speaking of cooking, the tradition of the Ye family is that men cook and women cannot cook, including housework. But when it comes to Ye Xun's generation, after the accident of Ye Xun, cooking can only be said to be enough to keep you from starving, but it is far from delicious. Doing housework is not good either, because her hands and feet are not nimble enough, and she is disliked inside and out.
Even Ye's mother said that she didn't know which girl would be so unlucky to marry Ye Xun in the future.
Whenever this happened, Ye Xun would just smile and say nothing, then change the subject to other topics.
Even this time, Ye Xun was used to it. He talked about everything under the sun, saying that his father's cooking was delicious and that his mother looked a year younger, but he just didn't respond.
However, the couple are not feudal parents who want their children to get married and start a family after finishing their studies. Since the child is unwilling, then so be it.
For a moment, there was no other sound on the table except the sound of chewing and the sound of chopsticks touching the plate.
After eating and drinking, Ye Xun started to talk about business.
"Mom and Dad, I want to tell you something. Don't tell anyone else. Only the three of us know about this." Ye Xun put down his chopsticks, wiped his mouth and said.
Seeing Ye Xun's serious expression, Ye's father and mother thought that he had caused trouble outside, and nodded quickly to promise not to tell anyone. When the couple saw the dining table in front of them disappear out of thin air and reappear, they could no longer hold back, and their expressions were a little out of control for a while.
After all, Ye's father had been through a lot and had a lot of experience. He quickly calmed down and said, "Xun, you don't just want to talk about this matter." There must be something more serious that would make his son expose such a skill. Because he knew that Ye Xun had always had his own ideas since he was a child, and he would definitely keep things secret if he didn't want them to know.
Ye Xun picked up the water cup on the table, took a few sips, and then began to talk about his dream. "I have been having recurring dreams since the beginning of the month. I dreamed of torrential rain and floods, extreme heat and drought, extreme cold, and other disasters. Countless people died in the disasters, either starved to death or were killed by others. There was even cannibalism."
Recalling the scene in the dream, Ye Xun couldn't help but take a deep breath, and then continued, "I thought it was just an ordinary nightmare, until last week I suddenly found that I had an extra space. The space was divided into two halves. One half is a space where time stands still, where you can store items to ensure they don't break, and the other half is a space that can store life." After saying that, he grabbed a chick from the space and handed it to Ye's father.
Father Ye took the chick and looked at it carefully, and couldn't help but marvel at its magic.
Ye Xun continued: "According to the time in the dream, the natural disaster occurred around mid-April, which is less than three months from now. The duration of the natural disaster cannot be estimated, but it is certain that it will not be less than five years. If this is really the case, it will really be the end of the world. You can imagine what the world will be like in the future."
What will it be like? Ye's father was born in the last world. At that time, the environment was not good. Some provinces were in chaos. There was no order there. Murder and arson were everywhere. This was only regional. When the world ends and order collapses, humans will do anything to survive.
Although everything was deduced based on Ye Xun's dream, inexplicably, Ye's father believed it. Businessmen all have a gambling nature. If everything goes well in the future, the worst that can happen is that they will lose some money. But what if it is true? That means they will lose their lives.
Mother Ye was so surprised that she couldn't speak, but her mind was still working. After Ye Xun showed her how to transform a chicken into a living chicken, she actually believed it. Is there anything more mysterious than space? Natural disasters have always existed on Earth, but this is the first time I've seen space.
Now that the couple believed what he said, Ye Xun took out a list from the space, which contained all the supplies that needed to be prepared, and placed it in front of them for them to see.
Ye's father can basically get the things listed above, except for hot weapons. Having been a good citizen all his life, he really has no channels in this regard.
It's a bit difficult for him as a good citizen.
