Chapter 25: Supplies Are Power
The man thought for a while and said, "We have arctic cold-proof clothing and mummy sleeping bags, which can withstand extreme cold when used together. But the price is a bit expensive."
Yao Ran said, "I want twenty sets of them."
"All right."n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
Yao Ran spent more than 400,000 yuan on the outdoor supply store. When she left, her small truck was filled with goods, which she put into her space when no one was looking.
After leaving the outdoor supply store, Yao Ran drove to the largest electrical appliance store. There, she bought air conditioners, ice-maker machines, portable coolers, fans, heaters, humidifiers, air purifiers, and other things.
By the time she walked out of the store, it was lunchtime. Seeing the mobile phone and computer store next to the outdoor supply store, Yao Ran decided to buy some mobile phones, laptops, SSDs, HDDs, and USBs.
After coming back, she will download some movies, TV series, practical knowledge videos, and e-books. When she is bored in the future, she can watch videos or read books to improve her survival skills.
When she left the store, Yao Ran frowned slightly as she looked at the gloomy sky covered with rain clouds. From now on, the intensity of the rain will increase day by day.
She looked away from the gloomy sky and drove to a store selling doors and windows. To save time, Yao Ran had measured the doors and windows of her apartment this morning.
She gave the sizes to the store owner and said, "I would like to order three metal doors with this size and windows of this size made of triple-layer bulletproof glass. Also, please cover the outer layer of the windows with tempered glass."
The store owner was stunned when he heard her request and asked, "Miss, do you want to build a fortress?"
Yao Ran smiled slightly, "I live alone, so safety is my priority."
The store owner looked at Yao Ran's cute and sweet face and said, "Since you want safety, what about using this newly launched metal to make the door? The material is made of tungsten carbide. This material is so strong that not even bombs can damage it."
Yao Ran looked at the sample handed over by the store owner and agreed.
"All right. Please prepare the doors with this material and prepare ten additional doors. In addition to the windows I ordered, I also want 500 pieces of tempered glass and 500 pieces of bulletproof glass."
The shop owner was very happy to get this big order and smiled, "Since you bought a lot, I will help you install the doors and windows for free. However, I need two days to prepare your order, and you need to pay half of the money as a deposit."
Yao Ran agreed and paid the money. After running around for hours, she felt hungry, so she drove to a nearby restaurant for lunch.
Before leaving, she ordered three hundred portions of every dish on the menu. After lunch, she drove to the factory area.
Her farmland has expanded twice and is now too big for her to grow and care for the crops manually. Yao Ran needs to buy some farm machines to facilitate farming in the future. She has electricity and water in her space and has no problem using the machines.
When she arrived at the factory area, Yao Ran asked around and quickly found a factory selling agricultural machinery.
Tractors, combine harvesters, trashing machines, sprayers, balers, fertilizer spreaders, harrows, mowers, seed drills, skid loaders, tillers, harvesting equipment for different crops, planters, etc.
Yao Ran bought all the necessary agricultural machinery and equipment. Thinking there was no way to deliver these machines to her apartment, she quickly rented a warehouse. After leaving the warehouse address with the factory owner, she went to another factory.
There are two military bases in Juncheng City. The army was stationed near the city, and a factory specializing in the production of military canned food and army rations was also located in this factory area.
Military canned food has a long shelf life, with an average of more than 100 years. When she died in her previous life, there was no news about when the natural disaster would end. She plans to buy military rations and military canned food in case she needs them in the future.
Before she was sold to the organization, she heard that a group of survivors had stumbled upon a warehouse full of military canned food. Eight years had passed since the beginning of the end of the world when they discovered the food, but it was still edible and had a shelf life of 48 years remaining.
When they sell the food to the market, one can military canned food could be exchanged for 50 kilograms of compressed biscuits. Although the price is high, powerful bosses and wealthy people are still willing to buy it.
At the end of the world, food, weapons, oils, and rare commodities are limited. For survivors, supplies are power.
Since You Ran wants to take revenge on the organization, she needs strength and power, and preparing these foods will give her more leverage in the future.
Yao Ran drove for half an hour before she arrived at the factory. She parked her truck in front of the small office and walked inside.
The middle-aged man working behind a table saw her. He smiled, "Welcome. What can I help you with?"
Yao Ran greeted him and replied, "I want to buy military canned food and military rations."
It is not unusual for ordinary people to buy military canned food and military rations. As online streaming becomes increasingly popular, many people buy these foods and record videos to gain popularity.
The middle-aged man has several repeat customers working for the live broadcast platforms, and he thinks Yao Ran is one of them.
The middle-aged man motioned for Yao Ran to take a seat and said, "There are many varieties of military canned food and military rations. You can take a look at this list first."
