The helper was very excited, like he'd been injected with adrenaline:
"Boss, should we follow her? Let's find out who she is and who's behind her?"
The shop owner snorted: "Go ahead if you're not afraid of death."
Could someone who dared to single-handedly storm Licheng with jade worth 2 billion yuan, not only escape unscathed but also reappear in Stone City, be an ordinary person?
If you dare to probe her secrets, you probably have a death wish.
Unaware of the incident behind her, Zuo Ling learned that the jade gambling convention had people specifically assigned to help with loading, unloading, and transporting the stones.
After paying the shipping fee, the stones were delivered to the rented warehouse.
No sooner had the loader left than Zuo Ling put the stone into her spatial dimension and quickly drove away from the stone gambling convention.
They hadn't gone far when they realized they were being followed, and by quite a few people—three cars.
Zuo Ling wasn't in a hurry to leave Stone City. She wandered around the city, turning left twice and right three times.
Going up and down the bridge... shaking off two cars, then another.
Upon reaching a secluded and deserted spot, the Tank 300 was thrown into storage space, and in exchange, a Pyu-Korean Range Rover was brought out.
He stepped on the gas and sped off towards the outskirts of Stone City.
Zuo Ling's bank account was swiped, and the money in it was reduced to just a few cents.
The bank account is of utmost importance; Pei Nansheng couldn't hide it from them even if he wanted to.
After Zuo Ling disappeared in Xinzhou, the entire Ding family assumed she was dead.
It's very strange that a dead person suddenly appeared in Stone City.
Ding Fengguo sent Ding Jiaojiao and Pei Nansheng to Stone City to investigate clues about Zuo Ling.
Even now, the Ding family doesn't believe Zuo Ling is still alive; they believe her bank card has been stolen and used fraudulently.
After arriving in Stone City, Ding Jiaojiao contacted the Ning family, who were also hermit families.
Stone City is Ning family territory; their ability to find clues there is far superior to that of Ding Jiaojiao, an outsider.
The Ning family took Ding Jiaojiao and Pei Nansheng to check the surveillance footage of the jade gambling event.
Strangely, there was no one named Zuo Ling in the database of participants in the jade gambling conference, nor was Zuo Ling seen in the surveillance footage.
Ding Jiaojiao had no choice but to go to the stone shop owner. The account records showed that Zuo Ling's card had indeed been emptied at this shop.
The shop owner said it was a young woman whose face was covered by a headscarf, making it impossible to see her features, but for some reason, she concealed the fact that Zuo Ling had a pet rabbit.
The young woman, whose face was covered and whose eyebrows and eyes were obscured, could not be identified as Zuo Ling.
At this point, the trail went cold again.
After Ding Jiaojiao and her group left, the shop owner warned the helper who saw Zuo Ling: "Watch your mouth, don't cause me any trouble."
The helper shrank back, repeatedly saying he dared not.
The countdown to the end of the world has reached day 58.
Zuo Ling is buying tempered glass at a glass factory in Yuxiang.
In addition to the ones currently being loaded onto the vehicles, the space already holds five truckloads of tempered glass of varying thicknesses and sizes, including both flat and curved surfaces.
In the apocalypse, when acid rain fell from the sky, all she could think of was stockpiling some corrosion-resistant tempered glass.
The estimated cost is 20 million yuan, averaging 100 yuan per square meter, which can be used to stockpile 200,000 square meters.
Tempered glass cannot be cut once it has been formed.
Zuo Ling bought five sets each of tempered glass cutting machine, cutting blade, cutting pliers, and drilling machine, as well as a lot of materials such as connecting hinges for tempered glass.
The glass factory manager had never seen Zuo Ling buy tempered glass like this before.
Tempered glass is not cheap. Before purchasing, we will measure the dimensions, plan the intended use, and determine the thickness of the glass.
Zuo Ling is fine; the size and thickness are all decided on a whim. The person in charge feels like he might have encountered a rich lunatic.
He was polite but wary, keeping at least three steps away from Zuo Ling, afraid that Zuo Ling would have an attack and affect him.
Zuo Ling had no idea where she would live in the future, so taking measurements was out of the question.
Aside from having some money, he knew nothing about building materials and had no idea how much or how thick the glass should be used in which place.
Being able to come up with ideas on a whim is already the highest level of intelligence she can demonstrate.
The results were poor; I was being sneaky and was seen as crazy.
After buying the glass, I planned to buy some cement, but I gave up halfway there.
Oh well, I'll use it even if I buy it.
It's better to stock up on food, drinks, and other necessities. With supplies in hand, you won't have trouble finding a place to stay.
Building materials and similar supplies can be purchased for free after the apocalypse.
Given Zuo Ling's cautious nature, if he discovers someone is following him, he should immediately leave the area of Fish Village.
But the fishing village has a thriving industry and commerce, and I really couldn't bear to leave without having stocked up on anything.
Once outside the Stone City area, they switched to secondhand goods and stockpiled them along the way.
The first place we went was a large warehouse supermarket in the urban-rural fringe area.
In her past life, Zuo Ling lived in poverty. When shopping at the supermarket, she would first consider items priced under 20 or 30 yuan, and only consider items priced above that if she needed them.
Even so, they still compared prices from three different stores, hesitated repeatedly, and reluctantly put the items into their shopping cart.
After being reborn, my financial situation improved, and I was busy traveling around, so I haven't had time to go grocery shopping yet.
Shopping at the supermarket with a huge sum of money, my feelings are completely different from those in my previous life.
The goods in warehouse supermarkets are mostly in large packages, and for women, sensory perception is very important when choosing things.
Exquisitely packaged and attractively presented items always win their favor, and Zuo Ling is no exception.
Large buckets of popcorn, large packages of shrimp chips and potato chips, huge turkeys, large pizzas, large packages of Wagyu beef, large packages of snack gift sets...
In her past life, she wanted to buy things but was too poor to afford them, so she put them all into her shopping cart.
The trolleys in the warehouse supermarket were much larger than those in regular supermarkets, and they weren't big enough for her to carry everything.
In less than 5 minutes, the two-tiered shopping cart was full.
After checking out and returning, I've learned from experience and now I put everything in both shopping carts at once.
Lotus root powder, kudzu root powder, sesame paste, nutritious fruit and vegetable powder, rice paste, oatmeal porridge, and fruit and cereal crisps.
Various kinds of dried meat, dried fruit, spicy strips, pickled chicken feet, beef jerky, dried fish, and dried tofu.
