Thinking about this, Hua Mi checked the time and realized she had just arrived on Singles' Day (November 11th)!
She hurriedly opened the online shopping website and found the cheapest bagged instant noodles, estimating that the average price was only eight or nine cents.
The price is about the same as the supplier's.
She immediately and painfully opened a money-saving card, which saved her a few dollars for every few hundred dollars spent. Plus, with Singles' Day, there was an additional 30 yuan off for cross-store purchases of 300 yuan or more. She meticulously calculated for a long time...
Finally, she was able to save the price of bagged instant noodles down to 50 cents per pack.
She ordered 1,000 yuan worth of braised beef flavored instant noodles online.
They also ordered 1,000 yuan worth of pickled cabbage, pork bone and seaweed, and pork bone broth flavors...
Not far from the supermarket where Hua Mi works, a small earthquake recently struck, causing a mineral water bottle factory to collapse.
Before all the people trapped underground in the residential area had been rescued, Gong Yi led the rescue team on their way to the factory to rescue more people.
Hua Mi waited all night in the supermarket, but the supplier still didn't deliver the 10,000 packs of instant noodles.
She called again to ask, only to find out that another earthquake had occurred nearby, and the truck could not get close to the supermarket at all; it had to be parked far away.
This time, the workers were unwilling to walk such a long distance to carry the loads.
Hua Mi sighed, then simply pulled down the supermarket door and walked out of the ruins to see what was going on outside.
Upon exiting, they discovered that houses along several streets in the vicinity had collapsed, and everyone had been evacuated to a nearby park by the rescue team.
It took Hua Mi more than an hour to walk through the entire ruins.
Occasionally, you might encounter a survivor moving around freely on the road, and they would all sigh, lamenting how powerful the aftershocks were.
Someone was scavenging for usable items amidst the ruins of their house, occasionally shouting loudly.
“Our house was damaged like this by the earthquake, the government must spend money to build us a big villa.”
The remaining people who were searching for their belongings nodded, their minds constantly calculating the amount of compensation they would receive.
Hua Mi walked by without saying a word, only shaking her head silently.
This is just the beginning. Soon the government buildings will be buried in the snow. What kind of compensation can be given then?
"Miss Hua."
The driver of a truck ahead waved vigorously at her; he was the truck driver who delivered instant noodles to Hua Mi on behalf of the supplier.
His truck was stuck in the rubble, unable to move forward or backward.
As Hua Mi ran over, stepping on the gravel, the truck driver immediately cried out in dismay.
"The road ahead was also damaged by the earthquake, and the road behind was also damaged by the earthquake. It's really too difficult for such a big truck to get out."
Hua Mi took two boxes of instant noodles out of the truck and stuffed them directly into the driver's arms.
"Thank you for your hard work, driver. Here's some food for you. Take it back and leave the truck here for now. I'll call you again once the municipal road clearing team has cleared the road."
That's what she said, but Hua Mi knew that this phone call would probably never be made.
She remembered that after the snow disaster in her previous life, there was an earthquake, first a small-scale tremor, and finally the destruction of an entire city.
Not only will her city, X, be shattered, but other cities will be too.
So this truck is stuck here, and it's likely it will stay stuck here forever, with no road available for it to drive on.
The truck driver, carrying two boxes of instant noodles, muttered something to himself for a while, then gave instructions to Hua Mi.
"Call me after the road clearing team has cleared the road."
"Don't worry, don't worry."
Hua Mi smiled and gave the driver another instruction.
"Keep the instant noodles safe, don't give them to anyone else."
It can save lives in critical moments.
The truck driver didn't even turn his head, and it's unclear whether he heard what he was saying. He simply picked up the two boxes of instant noodles and left.
He even forgot to take the car keys out of the ignition.
Hua Mi shook her head, climbed onto the truck bed, and began to try to move the truckload of instant noodles into her Level 1 warehouse from a distance.
It's amazing.
She seemed very happy and quickly put all 10,000 packs of instant noodles into the Level 1 warehouse.
He jumped out of the car again and looked at the large truck.
Wow, what a pity, her Level 1 warehouse is already full, otherwise she could have put this truck into her Level 1 warehouse as well.
This inevitably reminded Hua Mi of the conditions for upgrading to Level 2 storage. She couldn't upgrade to Level 2 storage because she didn't have enough stock.
This warehouse must be packed full, leaving no empty corner, to be considered to have sufficient stock.
Hua Mi immediately called the source supplier again and asked for 40,000 bottles of mineral water.
Amidst the noisy background sounds on the other end of the phone, the supplier was shouting.
"It's no use, I can't ship that many goods here. We don't have enough mineral water bottles, so we can't produce bottled mineral water."
At first glance, Hua Mi felt a little regretful, but then she remembered that her "Apocalypse Factory" could produce mineral water bottles.
"I have a mineral water bottle, wait a moment."
After hanging up the phone, Hua Mi immediately brought up her [Management Panel].
This is a new feature that Hua Mi discovered. In fact, she doesn't necessarily have to stay in the supermarket to use these amazing features of the [Apocalypse Supermarket].
For example, right now, she's standing in the truck bed and has brought up her [Management Panel] directly.
After browsing the panel, I found a level 1 factory and clicked on "Produce Mineral Water Bottles X".
A green energy bar appeared on the Level 1 factory icon, slowly decreasing little by little.
Hua Mi glanced at it, but didn't know what it was, so she didn't pay any attention to it.
A little while later, her Level 1 warehouse notified her...
[Level 1 Warehouse: Adds 1000 mineral water bottles. Once the stockpiling conditions are met, it will be upgraded to Level 2 Warehouse (2x1 space)]
It turns out that as long as you fill up her storage space, her storage will be upgraded.
Then what are we waiting for? Let's just keep producing mineral water bottles and stockpile supplies!
In a moment of joy, Hua Mi issued another order to the Level 1 factory to produce [Mineral Water Bottle X].
Looking again at the green energy bar above the level 1 factory, it was steadily decreasing, and in a short while, it had already dropped significantly.
Hua Mi remained unconcerned, standing in the empty truck bed. With a wave of her hand, she neatly stacked 1,000 empty mineral water bottles that had been stored in the warehouse in the corner.
Therefore, she can not only store supplies in the warehouse from a distance, but also retrieve supplies from a distance.
So, taking advantage of the fact that the Level 1 factory was still producing mineral water bottles and that there was still 100 square meters of space in the Level 2 warehouse, Hua Mi decisively put the truck stuck in the ruins into the warehouse.
I got a free truck! Yay!
Hua Mi walked out of the ruins. Only after the Level 1 factory finished producing an empty mineral water bottle did she call the mineral water supplier.
“I have 40,000 empty mineral water bottles here. I’ll bring them to your water treatment plant now. Give me an address.”
