Chapter 17
Shen Cong didn't know how long she had slept. She was awakened by a crackling sound in her head.
The sound was not loud at first, just like someone setting off a string of small firecrackers far away.
But soon, the sound became louder and louder, and finally turned into a thrilling explosion!
What followed was an indescribable feeling of being torn apart, as if a pair of huge hands had torn her in half!
Chen Cong lay limp on the sleeping bag, unable to move, and even breathing felt difficult.
Fortunately, this period of time is not long.
Before she felt she was about to suffocate, the noise and tearing sensation finally stopped.
Then--
Shen Cong discovered that his space had expanded again!
The expansion area this time is a bit exaggerated.
It looks like it’s as big as a school playground, right?!
Shen Cong's heart was pounding with excitement, and he was so excited that he felt like he was dreaming!
The last time it was upgraded, the space area increased from twenty to two hundred, a full ten times increase.
At that time, she fantasized about it and wondered, "Will the next upgrade increase to 2,000?"
As soon as this thought came to my mind, I couldn't help but laugh. I felt that I was simply too greedy.
But now——
Shen Cong jumped up, ran to the pile of supplies he had just taken out, rummaged through them, and found a large leather measuring tape.
The measuring tape was specially bought for verification when my family bought the land. Its length is one hundred meters.
At that time she never imagined that one day she would use it to measure space!
The measurement results came out quickly: 50 meters long, 40 meters wide, and 7 meters high.
It really has expanded tenfold.
The current area of the space is exactly two thousand square meters, not including the previous two hundred and twenty square meters.
Shen Cong walked around in circles in the warehouse.
She really couldn't express her joy and couldn't help but shout three times in the warehouse!
Fortunately, it was noon and there was no one in the warehouse, otherwise people would have thought that something big had happened here.
With such a large space, what is the use of a warehouse?
Shen Cong was completely floating.
She quickly put all the supplies in stock into the new space, even remembering to take down the installed water purifier.
With so many things put in, it only takes up a very small space, not even filling up a corner.
This made Shen Cong feel rich and powerful!
The storage problem that had troubled her for a long time was finally solved.
Who doesn’t want to buy more delicious food?
Who doesn’t want to prepare some of their favorite things while there’s still time, so that the difficult days ahead will be a little more bearable?
But because of the small space, Shen Cong had never dared to have such extravagant hopes before.
Not to mention delicious food, she doesn't even dare to buy too much fresh fruits and vegetables.
Because the limited space should be used to store the most useful things, such as seeds, seedlings, life-saving drinking water and medicine.
Those fried chicken, French fries, cola and ice cream...she just fantasized about them at most and never dared to place an order.
But now it’s different!
The more Shen Cong thought about it, the more excited he became. He didn't want to stay here for even a minute longer. After packing up his things, he prepared to head straight to the largest warehouse supermarket in the city.
There are a lot of things there, the goods are complete, and the prices are affordable. It is really a must-go place for shopping.
Fortunately, she still had a trace of rationality left, and before driving away, she remembered to send a message to Gu Kai:
"Honey, my ## has expanded again!!!"
Although she didn't say it explicitly, she knew that Gu Kai would definitely understand.
In order to express her excitement at the moment, she added three exclamation marks in a row.
It was a pity that Gu Kai did not have the same thoughts with her at this moment, and after waiting for a long time, there was no reply from the other side.
Shen Cong knew that he had gone to get medicine for his father-in-law today. There was a batch of anti-inflammatory drugs that were limited in purchase, and he needed to use connections to get them.
Not replying to messages clearly means he is busy.
Unwilling to give up, she sent another message: "You can't guess how much it has expanded this time."
He also added a smug expression at the end.
After exiting WeChat, Chen Cong opened the local group-buying app and started the first batch of crazy purchases according to his own route.
She first went into the nearest coffee shop and ordered everything in the order of the menu without any consideration:
Americano, Coconut Latte, Oreo (20 cups each, hot/ice): 17.5 x 60 = 1,050 yuan;
Sparkling Orange, Coconut Ice Extract (20 cups each): 16×40=640 yuan;
Total: 1,690 yuan.
After placing the order, she specifically wrote in the notes: "Urgent need, pick up myself", and then placed the order decisively.
After buying the coffee, Chen Cong entered the mini app of the fried chicken shop closest to the coffee shop.
This time she saved herself the trouble and placed an order directly: 20 family buckets and 20 children's meals: 160×20+35×20=3,900 yuan.
Also remember to mark at the back: "Pick up if in urgent need."
In this way, Chen Cong bought 200 cups of various cold drinks and 200 servings of soft ice cream in one go; he also bought fried yogurt, cheesecake, puffs, various sushi, rice skin, cold skin, and rolled noodles...
She also wanted to buy a variety of classic snacks, but unfortunately the ones she liked were not on the same route, so she had to wait until another day.
After all this shopping and taking, it was almost three o'clock when Chen Cong drove the car to the supermarket.
Remembering her mother's instructions to go home early, she immediately ran inside at the speed of a 100-meter sprint.
The first place Chen Cong went to was the fresh food area.
Because the family's large wealth had already been converted into cash, and her sister also transferred 150,000 euros, under Ms. Cheng's overall arrangement, although a lot of money had been spent, the remaining funds were not a small amount.
At least the more than 200,000 yuan in Chen Cong's account was basically not moved.
Therefore, this big purchase was the most enjoyable one that Chen Cong had ever experienced, because——
No, no, just look at the price!
Just add it to the shopping cart if you like it!
Prawns, abalone, oysters, scallops;
Black tiger shrimp, grilled eel;
Croaker, salmon, octopus;
Fish maw chicken, Buddha jumps over the wall, fresh sea cucumber...
After walking around for a while, the shopping cart popped up.
Push the cart to checkout and put it in your car.
After getting in the car, he quickly put the things into the space and walked back again.
Various steaks;
Roast chicken, grilled chicken, salt-baked chicken;
Tangyuan, Shaomai, glutinous rice cakes...
Grapes, mangosteen, lychee, dragon fruit;
Kiwi, peach, mango, lemon, bayberry;
And the cantaloupe that my mother likes to eat...
It is summer now, when there are the most varieties of fruits and vegetables.
Chen Cong was very satisfied with what he got.
At the beginning, she remembered to keep a low profile, but as she kept doing it, she became very excited.
In addition, today was a weekday and there were not many people in the supermarket, so it was not easy for her not to attract attention.
So when you get it later, there is no need to do it in a hurry.
The person in charge of the supermarket regarded her as an important customer and directly sent two shopping guides to follow her.
Not only that, the two men were also pushing a large flatbed cart for tallying goods.
As long as Chen Cong took a fancy to something, he just moved his fingers and someone would help him take it down and push it from behind.
Fortunately, with Ms. Cheng, the "goddess", in mind, Chen Cong knew that he would be scolded if he bought too much.
So even though she chose more types, the quantity was still controlled to the point where her mother would get angry.
She asked the supermarket staff to help deliver the goods to her at the parking lot. Seeing that the things almost burst the car, Chen Cong secretly sighed in her heart, "That was a close call!"
Fortunately, I am still calm.
After waiting for the staff to leave, he put the things into the space as quickly as possible, and then Chen Cong left with a feeling of being unsatisfied.
The harvest this afternoon was really huge. The shelves she had specially customized were now all full.
But the number on the bank card only went down by half.
After making a phone call with her mother and confirming that her sister and the others had not returned yet, Chen Cong decided not to rush home.
Today is July 6th, and there are less than ten days left until the doomsday on the 15th. Every minute becomes extremely precious.
Chen Cong went through in his mind the various restaurants that he and his family liked to go to, and then looked for their contact information online.
The morning and evening teas her parents loved to eat, the Hunan cuisine restaurant she and Gu Kai liked to go to, the rice noodles her sister loved to eat since she was a child, and the beef ramen that Tongtong fell in love with when she came back that year;
There is also the braised pork elbow that my father-in-law likes, and the hot pot restaurant that my colleagues love to go to...
If the goods can be picked up directly, place an order immediately. If the goods cannot be delivered immediately, pay a deposit and arrange a pick-up time.
After a round, the murky warehouse was filled with a large batch of steaming and fragrant delicacies, and she returned home satisfied.
-
Chen Xi and his friends didn’t come back until midnight.
Gu Zhengchu had a regular schedule and went back to his room to sleep early. Chen Cong and his wife waited in the living room with Cheng Ru.
Hearing the sound of a car, they went out to greet it together.
It was obvious that Shen Jianyi had told Shen Xi about what had happened recently on the way, which could be seen from her tired and confused expression.
In fact, this is also expected.
After all, she came back in a hurry just to see her critically ill father. After many twists and turns, she finally returned home. Not only was her father fine, but he also brought her the shocking news that "the end of the world is coming."
Who else can accept it all at once?
Several people worked together to put the two children who had already fallen asleep and the large and small bags of luggage to rest, and then went back to the living room and sat down.
Cheng Ru hugged her daughter distressedly and asked, "Xixi, are you tired? Why don't you go to bed first and we can talk tomorrow?"
Chen Xi shook his head: "Tell me now, if you don't explain it clearly, I won't be able to sleep no matter how tired I am!"
After enduring for several days in a row, she was actually almost at her limit. She was so exhausted both physically and mentally that she felt like she would faint at any moment.
But no matter how sleepy he was, it was nothing compared to the various shocks he had received today. Chen Xi had to get to the bottom of it no matter what.
Seeing that his sister was sleepy, Chen Cong didn't beat around the bush and told her what happened in his previous life in the simplest words.
Of course, there was also another "magic trick" to show off the space.
This time, in full view of everyone, she took out a bowl of hot mushroom and beef rice noodles and placed it in front of Shen Xi.
"Sister, I bought this for you today. Try it and see if it still tastes the same as before."
Chen Xi stared at the bowl of rice noodles that appeared out of thin air, as if they had just come out of the pot, with an expression so complicated that it was hard to describe.
If she still had doubts when her father told her on the way back that the end of the world was approaching, she had no choice but to believe it now.
The author has something to say:
I have read everyone's comments, let me explain a few words.
First of all, thank you for your reminder. I didn't calculate it clearly before, so I adjusted the quantity and price of drinks and food. Thanks, refill!
Let me also talk about why I didn’t go to the wholesale market and bought so many things that were not very useful.
I know everyone is worried about our heroine, so I want to thank the little cuties on her behalf, and then I will do the math for them on everyone's behalf:
First of all, their houses were sold. The Shen family's house was sold for 5 million, and Mr. Gu's house was sold for 1.3 million, which is more than 6 million yuan. This does not include everyone's savings. Both families have a well-off standard of living (one runs a clinic and was the hospital director before, and the other can afford a villa). The savings of the two families added up must be more than one million, right?
The 150,000 euros that Chen Xi sent back was worth more than one million after conversion, which added up to almost nine million.
Reinforcing two houses, digging cellars, building steel frame houses, and laying walls... these are all basic hard installations, which are not very expensive. In addition to solar energy and supporting power transformation equipment, a total of three million is enough. The remaining six million is more than enough to buy supplies for eight people.
Therefore, with only a few days left before the end of the world, I personally think it is understandable that the heroine indulges in a little extravagance and satisfies her shopping desire. This is already the last carnival, and it will be too late if she doesn't indulge herself.
Thank you for your likes. Your comments are the greatest support and encouragement to me. My friends, please feel free to speak your mind.
There is one more chapter today, and it will be on the shelves tomorrow. I hope you will continue to support me. I really need your company. Thank you!
