I'm Hoarding for the Apocalypse

Water Supply

Therefore, Du Yue bought each kind in bulk quantities that could last her two lifetimes. Even if she extravagantly used five or six disposable containers for every meal, she would still never run out.

There was still one more thing that was very important, which was clean, potable water. In the apocalyptic world, clean and potable water was sometimes even scarcer than food, and infinitely more important. The first year of the apocalypse was an unendingly hot summer, and it never rained. As such, water was vital to one’s survival during this period.

Du Yue looked up a factory and ordered 2,000 water tanks and 2,000 water containers. Each water tank could hold three tons of water, and there was a water dispensing valve at the bottom of the water tank.

The containers were the ones commonly used to hold mountain spring water. Du Yue was prepared to fill them up with filtered water.

Du Yue’s current house was equipped with the most advanced water filtration system. The purified water easily met the standards for drinking water.

During these three months before the apocalypse, she had to fill them up.

Just in case, Du Yue also bought bottled water and a variety of drinks, such as milk and yogurt, that she usually drank.

There were also energy bars, chocolate, and all kinds of protein bars and powder, which had been very popular recently. Du Yue bought dozens of boxes of each.

Du Yue even bought large batches of tobacco, alcohol, and tea leaves. Although she did not smoke or drink, they were still very important resources in the apocalyptic world. She would stock up on whatever supplies she could get her hands on as much as she could, in case she needed them in the future.

It took Du Yue two days to buy all these items. On the third day, she drove to the warehouse and waited there to receive the items she had ordered.

As promised by the merchant, they worked overtime to get the factory to rush out the shelves and sent them to the warehouse early.

Du Yue looked at the disassembled shelves and could not help but worry. If she had to assemble the shelves herself, she would probably not be able to finish them by the time the apocalypse arrived.

She noticed a group of drivers who were delivering the goods. She negotiated a price with the leader and paid them to assemble the shelves.

Since Du Yue was giving them a lot of money, and even transferred the money very quickly, these drivers were naturally very willing to help.

These people were used to doing this kind of work, and there were many of them, so it only took them four hours to assemble all the shelves.

After the workers were done with their work and tidied up, they left the warehouse. Du Yue followed them out to take a look. The sky had already turned completely dark.

Du Yue shut the warehouse door and turned off the lights. She put all of the assembled shelves into her own storage space before she locked the door and left.

In order to avoid being discovered, Du Yue decided to rent a larger vehicle tomorrow. She would drive to the warehouse every morning and night and pretend to transport the goods somewhere.

By the time Du Yue drove home, it was already past eight in the evening. Du Yue ate the snacks she had brought back from the food street yesterday while she scrolled through various shops online.

Du Yue immediately found a famous clothing store and ordered a large batch of daily wear clothes for spring, summer, autumn, and winter. Not only did the store have a variety of styles, but it was also much cheaper to get the goods directly online than to buy them in the mall.

Du Yue also bought a lot of windbreakers and jackets that could be worn in extreme weather. After a year of extremely hot weather, it became extremely cold the next year. The temperatures fell to -60 degrees celsius every day, so a down jacket made of good materials to keep warm was essential. Du Yue did not care if it looked good or not. She only cared about its practicality. Thus, she bought a hundred of such jackets that were filled with the warmest goose down feathers and that draped down to her ankles. She also bought dozens of all kinds of sweaters, wool pants, wool pants, and wool coats.

Du Yue avoided tight-fitting clothes, choosing to buy clothes that were two sizes larger. This was so that she could put on multiple layers to ward off the cold. She also picked dark colors, as they were more low-profile and practical.

There were also army jackets, which looked quite ugly and out-of-place in the city, but would be useful outdoors. Du Yue also bought 200 sets of these.
