Chapter 17: End of Stockpiling



It is said that the taste of instant noodles varies from region to region in R country, so the two ordered another 5 million worth of instant noodles.

Nissin, Ichiran, Sapporo Ichiban, Ippudo, Tori... I have every brand and flavor of noodles. When I have time, I can slowly try which brand and flavor is the best.

I also ordered some snacks: Shiroi Koibito cookies, matcha chocolate-filled cat tongue cookies, Three Brothers potato chips, Meiji chocolate, leTao cake, Kameda persimmon seeds, fruit juice gummies, milk pudding...

Seasonings: mirin, Kanto soy sauce, curry powder, sushi vinegar, three-cup vinegar, bibimbap sauce, white miso, sashimi soy sauce, wasabi, matcha...

We definitely can't pass up the wine.

Dassai, Hakutsuru, Gekkeikan, Kikumasamune, Ozeki, Nihonsei, Shochikubai, Asaka, Kikunoka, Umenodori... I didn't miss any of the brands of sake, some with thousands of bottles, some with as few as five hundred.

The most essential element is the local cuisine.

Kaiseki cuisine, soba noodles, udon noodles, somen noodles, sushi, sashimi, Ishikari nabe, bento boxes;

Pickles, pastries, rice balls, ramen, tempura, grilled eel, croquettes, pork patties, shrimp cakes;

Crab meat and cream croquettes, fried oysters, tonkatsu rice, pufferfish, takoyaki, Japanese fried rice, omelet rice, Japanese stone pot rice...

Each store ordered 500 portions, resulting in a very considerable quantity of finished products.

After buying food, the two held hands and strolled around the street.

Figurines, dolls, anime DVDs...

Banxia wished she could buy ten portions of each.

When Country R is gone, these will be collector's items!

The two spent a week in R country before flying directly to M country.

After arriving in Country M, the two first asked the car dealership manager to send all ten SUVs to the warehouse. After everyone left, they carefully checked the surveillance footage again before Banxia started packing up.

First, the large off-road vehicle was stored in the space, followed by the medicine and medical equipment.

Antipyretics, anti-inflammatory drugs, painkillers, frostbite cream, burn cream, antibiotics, and antihypertensive drugs;

Antidepressants, sleeping pills, stomach medicines, antidiarrheals, allergy medications, birth control pills, alcohol;

Iodine solution, mercurochrome, Huoxiang Zhengqi Water (a traditional Chinese medicine), vitamins, glucose, floral water, insect repellent, plasters, etc.

Anesthetics, bandages, gauze, adhesive bandages, medical tape, thermometers, masks, protective clothing, disposable infusion needles;

Cotton swabs, tweezers, suture needles and thread, scalpels, blood pressure monitors, blood glucose meters, oxygen concentrators, etc.

Banxia once again marveled at Miss Lilith's competence. If she and Nanxing had bought these things themselves, they probably wouldn't have been able to buy such a complete set, and they might even have been arrested and taken to the police station for a day.

After receiving the goods, Nanxing readily transferred the remaining commission to Lilith, who replied that she looked forward to the next collaboration.

Cooperation is impossible now, and who knows if we'll ever have another chance to meet again.

The villa in the countryside, as well as the airplane and sports car, have all been sold, so the two of them can only stay in a hotel.

After washing up in the evening, Nanxing turned on her computer and began calculating the remaining assets.

Recently, villas, airplanes, sports cars, and RVs in China sold for a total of 110 million, while villas, airplanes, sports cars, and RVs in the countryside of the United States sold for 70 million. Adding this to the original 1.21 billion in their accounts, they have a total of 1.39 billion.

The country spent 110 million, the country spent 1.1 billion, the country spent 50 million, the country spent 30 million, and the country spent 50 million.

So they still have 50 million left.

Banxia and Nanxing couldn't help but look at each other in disbelief. They hadn't expected to have so much money left over after buying everything on the list.

The two of them carefully checked the list again, but they really couldn't remember anything else they hadn't bought.

Finally, Banxia suggested exchanging 30 million gold at the bank. Gold is an important material for many sectors such as electronics, modern communications, and aerospace. It may not be needed in the early stages of the apocalypse, but it will be absolutely indispensable in the future as long as technology develops!

Besides, if the apocalypse ends someday, they will still need money to live.

As for the remaining twenty million—

After returning to China, they planned to openly stockpile supplies to justify the things that had appeared in their home.

The next day, Banxia and Nanxing took a car to the largest waterfall in M ​​country. The water here is clear and free of sediment, making it very suitable for use as drinking water.

With the Devouring Tree as a source of labor, Banxia doesn't need to do anything herself; she just needs to throw it into the water.

After the Devouring Tree filled the water tower and stainless steel bucket, it still tried to water the White Fish Space, but no matter how much water it poured, the land in the White Fish Space remained dry, cracked, and sandy.

However, there was one thing to be happy about: it caught quite a few fish while fetching water.

Banxia was speechless. She never expected that her first zero-yuan purchase would be collecting water and fish from a lake. Who would believe it if she told others?

Since it was free anyway, Banxia let it continue to collect fish, but after only two days, the fish stopped coming to the shore.

Time quickly came to November 20th.

Banxia woke up before dawn that day. She nuzzled against Nanxing's chest, tiptoed out of bed, and walked to the window, looking at the waterfall not far away with an unreadable expression.

According to staff at the former base, on November 20th, a huge meteorite fell into the lake below the waterfall.

Ten days later, a mutated fish with four legs and countless eyes crawled out of the lake. After biting several tourists, the fish fled, but the bitten tourists turned into zombies within fifteen minutes and attacked the surrounding crowd...

Upon learning the news, Country M quickly dispatched soldiers to capture the zombies alive and detained all tourists under various pretexts, forcibly suppressing news of the zombies. A few days later, they began purchasing supplies from neighboring countries.

However, the other Guo Jia were not stupid. At first, they thought that the United States was preparing for war. After realizing that the situation was not right, they also followed the United States in stockpiling supplies. However, they did not have enough time, and many people still died when the apocalypse finally arrived.

Banxia suggested coming here to fetch water because she wanted to personally verify the accuracy of this news.

If a meteorite were to fall here today, she would stay here for the next ten days to wait for the mutated fish to come ashore and send the video of it biting people back to the relevant departments. As for what happens after that, there is nothing she can do.

Some say that man can conquer nature, but Banxia's past experience tells her that when facing nature, man is like an ant trying to fight a category 10 hurricane, so insignificant that he has no power to fight back.

“Wife,” Nanxing hugged her from behind, “what are you worried about?”

He sensed something was off about her yesterday, but she didn't offer any explanation, so he didn't press her further.

But now, the chill emanating from Banxia's body was about to solidify into a tangible form!

Banxia looked at him blankly, unable to explain what she was worried about.

Logically speaking, she had made all the necessary preparations, and even if the apocalypse had come earlier than expected, she and Nanxing wouldn't have been in any real trouble. But she just couldn't help feeling panicked.

Finally, she thought that this was probably a normal human reaction when faced with something beyond our control.
