Hua Mi reached out and tapped one of the buildings. A small dialog box immediately popped up: [Activating a Level 1 factory requires Yuan.]
So expensive?
She thought about the hundreds of thousands of yuan she had in her bank account, so she decided to deposit 10,000 yuan to try and see what kind of factory she could build.
Result notification: [This is not a source of profit for the supermarket and does not meet the requirements.]
Does this mean you have to sell everything in the supermarket to unlock this strange building?
Hua Mi had a headache. In the apocalypse, money was worthless. Who would use money to buy things?
At first, everyone would steal supplies, but later on, they would use the crystal cores from the brains of mutated beasts and zombies as currency.
Hua Mi didn't have time to think much before her phone rang.
Caller ID: Fang Xin.
"That bitch!" Hua Mi hung up on Fang Xin's call immediately.
As a result, Fang Xin called again, and called several more times in a row.
Hua Mi answered the phone impatiently, but before she could speak, she heard Fang Xin's affected crying.
"Sister, sister, are you alright? I saw on the news that your neighborhood collapsed in the earthquake because of shoddy construction. I'm so worried about you, sister."
"Sister, Ziran and I have been calling you, but we can't get through to your phone. Are you okay? Please say something."
Immediately afterwards, a male voice came from the phone.
"Ami, are you alright? We were all so worried about you. Listen to me, I really haven't been with another woman behind your back."
These words reminded Hua Mi of a very distant memory.
At this time in her past life, Qin Ziran was her boyfriend. On one occasion, she discovered that Qin Ziran had checked into a hotel with another woman.
The records are kept quite frequently.
So Hua Mi broke up with him, went out to spend money on drinking, and even spent a lot of money to find a man.
At the time, she did not know that Qin Ziran's affair was with Fang Xin, and she even complained to Fang Xin for more than half a month.
Several years after the apocalypse, she ran into one of Qin Ziran's friends, who told her that Qin Ziran and Fang Xin had actually been together for a long time.
After saying this, during a mission, Fang Xin pushed Hua Mi into a horde of zombies.
At this point, Qin Ziran is still unwilling to accept the breakup.
Hua Mi said coldly into the phone:
"Haven't we already broken up? Do you have other women? I have no feelings for you anymore. Don't call me again, I'm very busy right now."
After saying that, she hung up Fang Xin's phone and blocked her number.
After a while, Hua Mi started browsing shopping websites on her phone. When she was in the ruins, there was no network or communication signal.
The network should be gradually being restored now. As Hua Mi browsed her phone, the internet speed gradually increased.
She made several more phone calls to the supplier and ordered 20,000 bottles of mineral water.
The supplier asked with a smile:
"I heard your neighborhood collapsed with just a slight tremor. Are you buying so much bottled water for disaster relief?"
"No, I'm planning to sell."
Hua Mi thought for a moment and said to the supplier:
"Look, we're in such an inactive tectonic zone, and we still got an earthquake. Who knows what we'll get next? Maybe there will be more and more earthquakes, and the weather will get colder and colder. So we should stock up on more goods and sell them slowly. If we can't sell them, we can still use them ourselves."
She tried to make it sound casual, but it still served as a reminder.
After all, today it's just the houses in this one neighborhood that are being demolished, but tomorrow it might be something else entirely.
The supplier seemed thoughtful, responding but it was unclear whether he believed Hua Mi's words or not. Following the usual supply process, an hour later, he arranged for a large truck to deliver 20,000 bottles of mineral water to Hua Mi.
The residential area behind Hua Mi was a complete ruin. The rescue team sealed off the entire collapsed area and sent everyone who was rescued to a nearby park as a refuge.
In an instant, apart from Hua Mi's small supermarket, there was not a single person left in this vast expanse of ruins.
The roads were in terrible condition, tall buildings had collapsed, and there were rubble, scattered furniture, and broken daily necessities everywhere... Trucks couldn't drive directly to Hua Mi's supermarket entrance.
So the supplier thoughtfully provided Hua Mi with a team of workers to manually move the 20,000 bottles of mineral water into the supermarket in the ruins.
After the workers left, Hua Mi slowly moved the bottled water piled up in front of the supermarket into the Level 1 warehouse.
As she moved things, she complained about this "post-apocalyptic supermarket."
In the novels she read before, people had a spatial dimension where they could simply wave their hand and scan the screen to automatically store their goods. But with hers, she had to go through the trouble of moving everything herself.
The moment that thought crossed my mind, the heavy case of bottled water in my hand vanished.
The transparent panel reappeared.
[Level 1 Warehouse: 52 Bottled Mineral Waters]
Hua Mi: "???"
So all that hard work she put in for over ten hours to move everything from the supermarket into the Level 1 warehouse was for nothing?
After pounding her chest and stamping her feet for a while, Hua Mi rallied and quickly began to put the bottled water piled up at the supermarket entrance into the Level 1 warehouse.
By then it was getting dark, and several men dressed in rescue team uniforms walked over.
One of the men pointed to Hua Mi's small supermarket.
"Captain, the supermarket I was talking about is right there."
The team leader nodded and led the lifeguards forward. Just as he was about to speak, Hua Mi turned around, carrying a case of bottled water.
Upon seeing Hua Mi's face, the rescue team leader paused for a moment.
It's the woman from last night...
He narrowed his eyes slightly, removed his helmet, and stood there, giving Hua Mi a half-smile:
"What a coincidence."
Hua Mi looked at the lifeguard captain with a puzzled expression, feeling that he looked very familiar, but she couldn't remember where she had seen him before.
She must have met someone once in a past life, but because so much time has passed, she has forgotten them in the ocean of her memory.
After waiting a while and confirming that Hua Mi had no further reaction, the man frowned slightly, held his helmet with one arm, took two steps towards Hua Mi, and asked:
Don't you remember me?
Hua Mi nodded honestly, admitting that she really didn't remember.
So, what's the matter now? Can we get down to business?
The rescue team leader's handsome, bronze face began to sour. He snorted and glanced at the small pile of bottled water remaining beside Hua Mi.
"We've come to buy some water. The supplies haven't arrived yet, and our teammates are all very thirsty."
Too many people are buried under this building. The rescue team, which is usually quick to procure supplies, has inexplicably failed this time.
So the bottled water that was supposed to be supplied to the rescue team and survivors was not delivered.
