Su Yao's hoarding spree continues, as she knows that the abundance of supplies will directly determine the quality of her survival in the apocalypse.
She walked into a sporting goods store, her eyes immediately drawn to the various athletic shoes. In the post-apocalyptic world, constant movement and running are essential, and good athletic shoes can reduce the risk of injury. She selected running shoes with good shock absorption, slip resistance, and durability, available in various sizes to ensure her family and any survivors she might encounter had suitable footwear. Hiking boots were also indispensable, adaptable to complex terrain, providing ample support for the feet whether on rugged mountain trails or through ruined city streets.
Sports backpacks were also a key purchase. Su Yao chose a large-capacity backpack with a good carrying system, which would allow her to distribute her belongings and easily carry essentials during activities. She also selected some small waist packs to hold frequently used small items, such as knives and fire starters, for quick access in emergencies. In addition, she packed various knee and elbow pads into her shopping bags; these items would protect her joints during prolonged activities or in dangerous situations.
Next, Su Yao went to an auto parts store. She knew that transportation might be paralyzed in the apocalypse, but a well-maintained car would still be very useful in the early stages. She bought a large quantity of tires, including spare tires of different models and sizes, to deal with possible tire blowouts. She also purchased a large quantity of car maintenance supplies such as engine oil and filters to ensure the vehicle could run for a long time. She also bought some car repair tools, such as a jack, wrenches, and socket wrenches, so that she could repair the vehicle promptly if it broke down.
Su Yao also had her own plans regarding the vehicle's fuel. Within legal limits, she stockpiled some gasoline and diesel, and also purchased fuel additives to extend the fuel's lifespan. Knowing that fuel was a precious and limited resource, she also prepared some manual fuel extractors and fuel storage containers to obtain fuel from abandoned vehicles.
Su Yao went to a pet supply store again. Although pets seemed like a burden in the apocalypse, she knew that some pets had special abilities. For example, dogs could act as watchdogs, detecting danger in advance. So, she bought a large amount of dog food, dog beds, and leashes. At the same time, to keep the dogs healthy, she also bought some common pet medicines and vaccines.
Communication equipment is also crucial in the apocalypse. Su Yao purchased walkie-talkies, radio transceivers, and other equipment from an electronics store. These devices could play a key role in team operations or contacting other survivors. She also bought spare batteries and charging equipment to ensure the continued use of communication devices. Additionally, she selected some simple binoculars for observing the environment and searching for resources from a distance.
Su Yao didn't forget the importance of entertainment. In the high-pressure environment of the apocalypse, people's mental state could easily collapse. She bought some simple entertainment items such as playing cards and board games, which could relieve tension and maintain mental health during leisure time. She also selected some books, including practical books such as survival guides, agricultural knowledge, and medical knowledge, as well as some literary works, so that people could have some spiritual sustenance amidst the difficult survival.
At a seafood market, Su Yao purchased a large quantity of dried seafood, such as dried fish, dried shrimp, and seaweed. These seafood products are rich in protein and nutrients, easy to preserve, and offer a variety of dietary options. She also bought some salted foods, such as salted kelp and salted radishes; these traditional preservation methods allow food to be stored for extended periods without refrigeration.
Afterwards, Su Yao went to a workwear store. She selected a large number of durable and waterproof work clothes. These work clothes had multiple pockets, making it convenient to carry tools and small items. Moreover, the thick fabric could provide some protection against zombie bites and the harsh environment. She also bought some rain gear, including high-quality raincoats and rain boots, which not only had to be waterproof but also durable and comfortable.
At a stationery store, Su Yao purchased a large quantity of notebooks, pens, and paper. These can be used to record information, such as supply lists, itinerary records, and locations of discovered resources. In the absence of electronic devices or when electronic devices are broken, pen and paper are the most reliable method of recording. She also selected some drawing tools, such as compasses and maps, to facilitate determining direction and planning routes when outdoors.
Finally, Su Yao went to a chemical raw material store. She bought some simple chemical reagents and tools, such as sodium hydroxide and hydrochloric acid. These chemical reagents might be useful in dealing with some special situations, such as purifying water sources and making simple protective equipment. However, she was well aware of the dangers of these chemical reagents, so she was extra careful during the purchase and storage process.
With each purchase and each type of supply, Su Yao was weaving a meticulously crafted web of survival. She left no stone unturned in her efforts to ensure her survival, making the most thorough preparations for the impending apocalypse.
