Chapter 534: Chapter 415: Hoarding a Myriad of Supplies for a Disaster, I’m Slacking Off on Raising My Kid 3_2
Aside from that, there were also gas stoves, gas furnaces, and coal and wood.
Wind power generating equipment, power-generating bicycles, filters, diesel, wood, matchboxes, indoor heaters, oxygen tanks…
As well as some daily necessities.
Su Zhiruan had purchased many of these items, even enough to be stored separately in three garages.
Towels, toilet paper, trash bags, soap and laundry detergent, toothbrushes and toothpaste, Florida water, blades, lighters, scissors and tweezers, thermometers, disposable gloves and the like.
To prevent anyone from breaking in halfway, she had also acquired quite a few tools.
Truncheons, shovels, daggers, scissors, kitchen knives, nylon ropes, flashlights, telescopes, window breakers, gas masks, anti-stab vests, and various others, such as glow sticks, fire blankets, night vision goggles, folding pots, compasses, slingshots, manure forks, mosquito coils, radios, crossbows, door blockers, drill bits…
After completing these tasks, the time had reached half past three in the afternoon.
When she passed by a pharmacy, Su Zhiruan remembered that she should stock up on some medicines.
Antibiotics, burn medication, iodine, gauze, alcohol swabs, bandages, as well as cold medicine, glucose, anti-inflammatory drugs, and so on—she virtually swept through the place.
The salesgirl was so astonished that she even forgot to ask Su Zhiruan if she had a health insurance card, watching as she bought several packs of medicines, paid briskly, and left, taking three or four trips to carry everything away.
Passing by a supermarket, she bought wet wipes, soap, laundry pods, sanitary pads, more towels, toilet paper, hot water bottles, quilts, fishing gear, and more.
To avoid boredom from potentially long days, Su Zhiruan also went to a bookstore to purchase a lot of books.
She thought about it and, according to the original plot, the Catastrophe Apocalypse would last at least five years. In the beginning, electricity would still be available, but later on, there would be power outages leading to water cut-offs, and by then, without a working cellphone, she would need something to pass the time.
She selected numerous novels and magazines, even buying up the romance magazine stock that hadn’t been sold in the bookstore for years. Besides that, she bought several gardening handbooks as well as cookbooks of various categories.
Considering she might need to travel, Su Zhiruan also bought some vehicles and spare vehicles, along with a sufficient quantity of fuel, bicycles or motorcycles, in case of the need for alternative transportation, fuel such as barrels of gasoline or gas tanks.
“Welcome back anytime!” It had been a challenge to find such a generous customer, and they all seemed quite happy.
Su Zhiruan had been bustling about the entire day and only when it got dark did she realize how exhausted she was.
However, doing all this was useful; she felt very satisfied in her heart.
That night, she drove to inspect the cleaning work done by the cleaning ladies and was satisfied with everything.
The previously useless rusted medical equipment had been happily taken away by junk collectors, leaving behind only the tidy, cleaned empty rooms.
She briefly inspected everything and felt quite pleased.
“I really put you through a lot today. This is your pay.” After inspecting the place, Su Zhiruan waved her hand and gave the cleaning ladies double their salary. They were overjoyed, and before leaving, they even helped trim the lawn for Su Zhiruan.
Less than a day remained until the apocalypse.
Su Zhiruan calculated the time and decided to start storing water tomorrow, purchasing a few water tanks as well as bottled water.
Soon, she drove back to the city center and checked into the presidential suite she had stayed in the night before.
After freshening up, she sprawled on the bed.
“So, you mean to say, if I use that item, I can transfer the supplies in the garage to the mental hospital, right?” she inquired mentally to the System.
While browsing the System Mall, she had found a very useful item that could transport things through space.
[Yes, Host. These supplies belong to this world, and you can use this item. Apart from people, everything can be transported,] the System replied, knowing she had been eyeing that system item for a while and thus explained its usage once more.
[When you activate me and define the area, I can transport everything. However, note that after transporting these items, you will need to organize them yourself,] the System added.
“Organizing is a trivial matter,” Su Zhiruan waved her hand and said, quite contented, “There’s still plenty of time; I can slowly tidy up when the time comes.”
She quite liked this Small World—it required no scheming, no work, just stockpiling supplies and waiting for the apocalypse to arrive, then she could spend her days eating, drinking, and reading novels. It was simply the perfect life for someone who loves peace and quiet.
