Chapter 5 Chapter 5
If there are no channels, they have to be created. Ye Xun pondered and soon came up with an idea, "I will go to Myanmar after the New Year. Guns are legal there. I'll see if I can get a few then. Other things like grenades should also be prepared. They will always be useful." After all, don't underestimate the evil of human nature.
Since his son had a solution, Ye's father stopped worrying, but he was a little curious, "Are these pet supplies wrong? No one in our family has a pet."
"That's right. Survival of the fittest. Animals are much more adaptable than humans. Their physical fitness will be greatly improved in this environment. I have already contacted a kennel that sells Central Asian Shepherd Dogs. I will go to take a look at their kennel on the first day of the new year. When the dogs grow up, they can protect themselves from some people with ulterior motives."
I have to say that people in Province Z really love money. They even dare to sell banned dogs like Central Asian dogs openly. Ye Xun likes such courageous people.
Having said that, how could Ye's father not agree? Anyway, most of the time, the dog is raised by his son, and he probably won't see it on weekdays. Funny thing is, Ye's father has always been afraid of dogs. When he was a child, he was playing with a local dog in the countryside and was bitten on the butt. So he would take a detour when he saw a dog, especially a short-haired one.
Ye Xun made a simple assignment for the list. Medicines, food and daily necessities, which were easy to buy, were given to Ye's father. He didn't want him to work hard at his age. Some things that required someone to check and choose, such as power generation equipment and some high-tech products, were left to him.
Ye's mother's responsibility was even easier, which was to supervise the work.
This was also something Ye Xun had not had the time to tell them.
After using the space to clear everything on the table, Ye Xun took out a map of Xia Country from the space and spread it flat on the table.
Some marks were made on the map. The stars were their locations, and the triangle was province Y.
Ye Xun pointed to the star and said, "This is H City, on the coast," and then pointed to the triangle, "This is Y Province, inland, with high terrain and a pleasant climate, suitable for living."
"After the extreme cold, the extreme heat will come soon. Not only will the snow melt, but the icebergs on the sea will also melt, the sea level will rise, and tsunamis will be triggered in coastal areas. By then, all coastal cities in Province Z will be submerged, and the southern part of Xia Country will be flooded all the way to Province F. The East China region is no longer suitable for living. We must prepare a place to stay in Province Y in advance. Dad, you and Mom go there first, and we will go to find you after my cousin finishes her exchange student studies."
She was called a cousin, but in fact, she was the child of Ye's parents' friend, named Wang Yu. When Wang Yu was two years old, her parents had a plane crash, leaving only her young daughter. Ye's mother couldn't bear to let such a young child face the jackal-like relatives at home, so she took her home to raise her, and told everyone that she was a cousin's daughter. Her household registration was also moved out and registered with the Ye family.
When Wang Yu's parents had the accident, Ye Xun was already four years old and had started to remember things. Naturally, he knew that this cousin had no blood relationship with him, but since his mother liked her, he also liked her. After eighteen years of getting along, she had become like his own sister to him.
Ye's father and mother completely obeyed their son's arrangements, except that Ye's father was assigned a job, but Ye's mother was not. So the choice of person to go to Province Y in advance became clear at once.
"Axun wants me to go to Y Province first, right?" asked Ye's mother.
Ye Xun nodded. This was indeed his plan. "Yes. But I will go with you first. We will choose a neighborhood first. Then I will go with you to the decoration market. After you have chosen the materials, I will go and do my own thing."
To prevent some unscrupulous businessmen from cheating middle-aged women. Losing money is a small matter, but this can affect the future life of their family.
Ye's mother nodded, "Okay, then when are we going there?"
Ye Xun told his mother not to worry, at least to wait until after the Chinese New Year. He would first select the Central Asian Shepherd Dog before setting off. The air tickets and hotels could be booked in advance. Now was the off-season, the prices were very low, and no one was rushing to buy them.
"Don't let your cousin know what we talked about today. I'm worried that she can't control her mouth and will tell others about it," Ye's father, who was sitting nearby, interjected.
Ye Xun certainly agreed. He had no intention of mentioning this to Wang Yu, and would wait until she returned to China before making any plans.
The discussion was like a small meeting. After everyone decided what to do, they dispersed immediately. Ye Xun wanted to go to the mall in the afternoon. His father was responsible for cleaning the table and washing the dishes, while his mother turned on her phone to look at air tickets and hotels.
As the year draws to a close, every household is purchasing New Year's goods. Even if Ye Xun buys a lot of things, it will not attract attention. It will only make them think that this family is large and has a lot of food and things.
So when I go out, I drive an SUV with all the back seats folded down to store things.
The first destination was a clothing store. After the first heavy rain, the lower floors of these shopping malls were flooded, and the clothes happened to be on the first floor.
The mall no longer had summer clothes for sale, so Ye Xun planned to shop online when express delivery resumed after the Chinese New Year. He came here to buy some winter clothes and some camping equipment, and there happened to be a store selling camping equipment in this mall.
In the future, the lowest temperature in extreme cold weather may reach minus 70 degrees Celsius, and this is only in the northern regions. No one knows the temperature in the northernmost part of the earth because no one can survive there.
Each person bought five sets of Densibo down jackets, two short sets and three long sets, white for women and black for men. Each person also bought five pairs of down trousers, all in black to resist dirt. Snow boots were also bought in black, because the warmth performance will decrease if you wear them too much, unlike clothes that can be added in multiples, so each person bought ten pairs of snow boots. Each person also bought three sets of scarves, hats, and gloves.
Such a large purchase immediately attracted the store manager. It could be said to be a rare big order recently. The store manager was a business man. He used his authority to get a discount and then had people deliver these things directly to the parking lot.
When Ye Xun got some free time, he went to the camping store.
If you want to buy something like this, you have to buy the best quality. I chose a military tent that can accommodate 6 people. It has reliable quality. Considering the extreme environment and man-made damage, I bought 5 of them, and also 5 moisture-proof mats.
I bought 8 large-capacity mountaineering bags, one for each person and one as a spare. I bought three rechargeable flashlights and three hand-cranked flashlights, and outdoor UFO lights, which are also consumables, so I bought 10 at a time.
When the Internet disappears and there is no navigation, I will need some compasses. This one is cheap and takes up little space, so I bought 20 of them.
There is also a solar power bank, which is a good thing. It can be placed in the open as a power source. Buy 20 of the maximum storage capacity.
Camping stoves are also needed. Since it is related to meals, it is always a good idea to buy more. Ye Xun also ordered 10.
There will be polar nights in the later stages of the apocalypse, so we need to prepare some night vision goggles. Ye Xun only bought four, and plans to buy the rest online because normal people would not buy dozens at a time.
After paying the money, Ye Xun called the curious clerk who was leaning his head nearby, asked him to help deliver the things to the underground garage, and transferred two hundred yuan to him as errand fee.
The shop assistants who received the money were naturally very happy. They could easily earn 200 yuan by doing this job, and they would be foolish not to do it.
Next, Ye Xun planned to go to the cosmetics store to prepare some skin care products for the two women in the family. As for himself and his father, they would just apply some facial cream and sunscreen. One was to prevent frostbite on the face in extreme cold, and the other was to prevent sunburn in extreme heat.
Ye's mother and cousin Wang Yu are of different ages and have particular preferences for skin care products. Ye Xun bought five sets of products for each of them according to the guide's introduction, and then bought 10 bottles of Vaseline cream and 20 bottles of sunscreen for himself and his father. When passing by the lip balm shelf, he thought that lips can also get frostbite, so he put 40 lip balms in the shopping cart.
When checking out and leaving the store, all the store clerks came out to see Ye Xun off, making him feel like they were seeing the emperor off from the palace.
Ye Xun couldn't help laughing out loud because he found his own metaphor humorous.
Today's shopping in this mall is finished, and next he will move on to the farmers' market.
When he arrived at the underground garage, the car was filled with shopping bags and cartons of all sizes. Ye Xun opened the trunk and pretended to move things into the car, but in fact, they were all put into the space. Only empty bags and empty cartons were put in.
At the farmers' market, Ye Xun mainly purchased fruit tree seedlings and seeds, all of which had to be stored in the space. Whether he could eat fresh fruits in the future depended on these, so he basically bought fruit trees that could bear fruit. But there were some exceptions, such as melons, for which he bought seeds, which had a short growth cycle and could ripen several times a year in the space.
After buying fruits, I went to look at vegetables. I just bought seeds for vegetables, and I also bought 20 foam boxes, 1 meter long and 50 centimeters wide, for indoor planting. In the event of a natural disaster, when others can't eat, they still have vegetables to eat, which is really eye-catching. If they grow them themselves, it makes sense.
In addition to plants, there are also animals in the farmers' market. Ye Xun saw a stall on the side of the road selling meat rabbits.
Thinking of the tender taste of rabbit meat, Ye Xun has already imagined eating eighteen servings of rabbit meat in his mind. Rabbits are so cute, you must eat more!
Ye Xun did not hesitate and directly bought a male rabbit and three female rabbits. There was no need to buy more. According to the reproductive capacity of rabbits, three months was enough to give birth to several football teams.
After buying the rabbit, Ye Xun walked into the nearest pet shop.
Tomorrow is New Year's Eve, and I will be able to take my Central Asian Shepherd home the day after tomorrow. How can I not prepare some dog supplies?
This pet shop called Miaowangwushu has a wide variety of merchandise. After Ye Xun entered, he started to raid it like Japanese invaders entering a village.
I'll buy 10 bags of 10kg puppy food to ensure that the dog has enough nutrition during its childhood. I heard that large dogs need calcium supplements, so I'll buy all the calcium supplements on the shelf. If they're not enough, I'll buy them online. These canned snacks look delicious, so I'll buy some to improve the diet. Oh, the clerk said deworming is also important, otherwise it's easy for parasites to grow? Then I'll take all these boxes of deworming medicine.
There are also these teething toys that other dogs have and his dog must have them too, so he packed them all up.
Will it need adult dog food when it grows up? Then I'll take 10 bags of 10kg. And these fish oils are good for the dog's health, right? Then I'll take all of them.
In the end, Ye Xun almost emptied the store.
It was not practical to move so many things into the car by manpower, so Ye Xun drove the car directly to the door, and then the store owner and employees worked together to move all the things into the car.
After paying a huge sum of money, Ye Xun stepped on the accelerator and started for home.
