Shopping Frenzy

July 24, 2022, not long before the apocalypse on November 21st.

There were 120 days left.

Li Yu ran five kilometers in the forest and went home to take a shower. After coming back from the apocalypse, he really couldn't stand his current weak constitution.

Actually, Li Yu's physical fitness was quite good.

He was 183 centimeters tall and weighed 150 pounds. One could vaguely see his six-pack abs.

However, in the eyes of Li Yu, who had been reborn, he was still a little weak. This also caused him to be unable to do many difficult moves.

Therefore, he had been improving his physical fitness since he was reborn.

After taking a shower and having breakfast, Li Yu ran to the base to check.

Looking at the basement and house in front of him that had been built, Li Yu's mood became a little happy.

Now that the house was in the renovation stage, the water and electricity had been laid.

In addition, Li Yu spent three million yuan to buy photovoltaic solar panels. He was afraid that it would be troublesome to repair them later, so he bought a few more sets.

In addition, he arranged for his younger brother, Li Hang, to study the entire process during the installation.

Although it was definitely not enough to learn it from scratch now, the lifespan of the photovoltaic panel was as long as 30 years. If the few sets he bought were preserved well, they would be enough for a long time.

The photovoltaic power system had been laid down. According to the power generated by this equipment, it could generate nearly 100,000 units of electricity a year.

After the basic construction was completed, there were some things that he had to improve on.

Hoarding resources!

In the past two months, Li Yu had also bought some supplies online. According to the records in the manual he had written previously, he bought them one after another.

However, he did not buy it wantonly. There was no place to put it down.

Previously, the underground warehouse had not been built and there was no electricity, so they could only buy it on a small scale.

The supplies could be placed in the three-story building they were living in now, but they would still have to move to the base when the time came. It was too troublesome.

Therefore, Li Yu had been waiting for the underground warehouse to be built and transported over again.

It was worth mentioning that the cement road near National Highway 319 was less than two kilometers away from the place that was currently under construction.

The base was connected to the village road. Li Yu had built a concrete field that was less than five meters wide. He deliberately chose to build it in a place with more trees. This way, under the cover of the layers of trees, no one could see what was going on in the village road.

Moreover, this path turned a few corners and was even more hidden.

100 meters down the lane, a gate made of steel double-layer welding can be seen.

It is approximately 5 meters high, 8 meters wide, and nearly 30 centimeters thick.

There was no grouting on this door to repair the top, so even the highest things could be transported in now.

This size was also the conclusion that Li Yu came up with after comprehensive consideration. According to the size of the car, he added some spare space.

Just this door alone cost Li Yu hundreds of thousands of yuan.

Next to the door, Li Yu opened a small door that was only 2.5 meters tall and 1.5 meters wide. The small door was also made of steel.

Li Yu stood in the spacious underground warehouse and looked at the 2,000-square-meter empty space in front of him.

His heart was filled with pride.

He had to fill this place up within two months.

The meticulous Li Yu classified the 2,000 square meters according to food, medicine, clothes, hygiene supplies, fuel, exchange items, tools, and so on.

One by one, they were divided into regions. It was clear and organized.

It was also extremely convenient to find it later.

According to Li Yu's budget, he had won a total of 30 million yuan from the lottery and borrowed 20 million yuan through the loan. That was a total of 50 million yuan.

He planned to spend 25 million on the construction of the base and 25 million on purchasing supplies.

He opened the list of items that he had prepared beforehand.

o( ̄ヘ ̄o#)

With a wave of his hand, he tapped on his phone and contacted all the major wholesalers! (Don't ask why they're wholesalers. If you ask, it's about saving money!)

Shopping frenzy mode activated!!!

Buy, buy, buy!

All the living supplies purchased were calculated according to the usage of 50 people for 20 years.

He even specially called his younger sister and asked her which of the 10 things she wanted to buy the most.

Then, he added them one by one.

What was worth mentioning was that Li Yu brought his uncle, Li Hongcheng, and his brother, Li Hang, to the car dealership and bought three Ford pickup trucks and two six-seater SUVs.

However, they didn't buy a truck because their family already had two trucks in their management business, including delivery cars.

Of course, the five cars they bought were all loaned out for the longest period.

It was almost the end of the world. Wouldn't it be a waste not to fleece?

There was only one voice in Li Yu's heart: Give it to me!

All the materials bought were on installment for as long as possible.

On the way back, he bumped into his father on the road.

When Li Hongyuan saw the cars and heard that they were all bought by Li Yu, he was a little dumbfounded. "Yu, other people buy cars one by one. Are you buying them wholesale?"

Li Yu didn't explain much. This was just the beginning. There were still tons of supplies coming in. Li Hongyuan would probably find it even harder to accept.

On the other hand, Li Hang was quite excited. He narrowed his clever little eyes and said to his big brother with a smile, "Big Brother, did you buy anything for me inside?"

Li Yu smiled when he saw Li Hang's expression.

He said, "Yes, there's something for you. I'll give you that SUV."

Li Hang shouted excitedly, "Oh yeah, you're the best! I haven't touched a car since I got my driver's license."

Li Yu looked at his brother's happy expression and recalled how he had beaten him up when he was young.

He thought to himself, 'He's still a child.'

Li Hongcheng, who had followed them over, was also very surprised to see so many cars, but he didn't say anything.

Li Yu then handed a bottle of water to the staff of the car dealership and gave each of them a 100 yuan red packet. Although helping with the delivery of cars was also one of their jobs, it was normal for them to give some tips.

The staff happily took the money and praised Li Yu for being a good person.

One of the staff asked, "President Li, why did you buy so many cars?"

When Li Yu heard that, he replied vaguely, "There are a lot of people at home too. We usually have to transport goods, so we bought them together." Then, he prepared to get into the car and drive away.

The staff seemed to be able to tell that Li Yu was going to be busy, so he left after saying a few words.

That's right. Li Yu didn't put those workers into the base. He didn't even let them see the base.

The fewer people knew about the base, the better, in case someone had designs on this place in the future.

Li Yu brought his brother and uncle, Li Hongcheng, into the base several times.

The next day, he took Li Yu to the city. The "weapons" that he had ordered previously had contacted him in the past two days and said that they were ready. He asked him to go and get them.

There was a shop that specialized in making swords, sabers, and crossbows. Li Yu searched for a long time and even spent some money to find someone who was willing to help him buy these.

This was someone who specialized in the black market. He was not afraid of breaking the law, but he was afraid of getting insufficient money.

First, it was the king of cold weapons against terrorism—20 modern composite crossbows, each priced at 19,888 yuan, coupled with 30 arrows.

As per Li Yu's request, he added another 270 arrows to each crossbow.

There were a total of 20 crossbows and 6,000 arrows.

In addition, he bought 40 swords, sabers, tachi, curved sabers, and some protective armor.

Despite his constant requests, the shopkeeper was still unwilling to sharpen them.

In the end, Li Yu said that he wouldn't buy any of them if they weren't sharpened. He gave the seller a small push.

Then, he immediately said that he would give the shopkeeper another 100,000 yuan for the sharpening fee, dangling a big sweet carrot.

In the end, the shopkeeper finally agreed to start.

However, when Li Yu was paying, the shopkeeper looked like he was looking at a lunatic.

It was just like how a normal person would not write a diary for no reason. How could a normal person buy so many sabers and swords? And they were even f*cking sharpened!

Next, he brought his brother to the city and finally moved them to the pickup truck after a few trips.

On the way back, they did not get on the highway. They returned to the base in fear.

Fortunately, there were no police officers stopping the car. Otherwise, it would be too difficult to explain the situation under investigation.

After the two of them finished moving these things, they were drenched in sweat.

His brother didn't ask anything. Instead, he looked excited.

Li Yu reminded him not to tell his parents or anyone else.

The little brother had an understanding expression as he wandered off to take a shower.

Seeing his brother like this, Li Yu didn't even have the time to explain to him. It seemed like he didn't have to.

This guy was too innocent.

Looking at the weapons he had bought, Li Yu put them in a secluded corner of the warehouse and locked them with a big lock. He kept the key with him all the time.

...….

That night, Li Yu brought up some food suppliers that he had learned about before, including rice, oil, salt, soy sauce, vinegar, tea, and so on.

He contacted them one by one and agreed on a time to visit.

Then, he turned on his computer and downloaded all the movies, movies, television dramas, documentaries, variety shows, and so on.

In order to download these videos, Li Yu bought a total of 100 solid-state hard disks and 100 mechanical hard disks. Each hard disk was as high as 10TB. The total capacity was nearly 2,000TB.

If a video was 1GB, he could download two million videos.

Of course, there were also those thousands of necessary adult videos that he carefully stored.

With his many years of experience as a bachelor, there were simply too many websites. The main purpose of downloading this was to cultivate one's emotions. Occasionally, he would watch action movies by famous Japanese celebrities. It was still beneficial to one's body and mind.

At the same time, he had also downloaded some books on various industries, from nine years of compulsory education to agriculture, forestry, animal husbandry, and fishing.

From the humanities of history to geography, from chemical physics to political ethics, there is also the electronic reader Kindle.

At the same time, he also bought some old VCD discs, which were in a music disc shop that was about to go bankrupt. Li Yu spent 150,000 yuan in one go.

Looking at the five computers that were downloading at the same time in front of him, he looked down and saw hundreds of neatly arranged computers and hundreds of newly released Huawei phones, tablets, and other electronic products.

He slapped his forehead. This thing was a little difficult to deal with.

.....

Li Yu went to the old bookstore again and pulled three truckloads of books in batches.

By the way, after Li Yu's classmates who worked in interior design in M City received the designs she gave them, he simply modified a few places, mainly because the safety and sturdiness aspects had been greatly improved.

In the largest 300 square meters villa in the middle, a small family cinema of nearly 30 square meters was built in the basement of the first floor.

There was also a gym, a card room, and other leisure spaces.

Li Yu had spent the most effort on this house, spending nearly two million yuan.

As for the other four villas, they had only been renovated briefly.

Time flew by like a white steed.

The construction of the base progressed day by day.

When nearly 40 heavy trucks entered the underground warehouse, Li Hongyuan was shocked.

He scolded Li Yu for spending money recklessly.

Would he be able to eat so many supplies?

Li Yu was very stubborn in this. He told his father to stay out of it. Li Hongyuan was so angry that he gritted his teeth.

Most of these supplies were transported from other provinces.

By increasing the price, Li Yu persuaded these suppliers to transport them over and bring the porters with them.

This had indeed cost Li Yu a lot of money.

This was to prevent the surrounding people from knowing what they were transporting. After the apocalypse, it would be difficult for these drivers to find this place.

Even if they wanted to find this place, they had to cross provinces.

During the apocalypse where zombies roamed freely, it was still a big problem whether these people could come over.
