shopping and hoarding

Zhang Yi's attitude towards Fang Yuqing was extremely cold, which Fang Yuqing and Lin Cainin both noticed. However, after mistakenly believing Zhang Yi to be a hidden second-generation rich, the two didn't get upset over Zhang Yi's demeanor. Instead, they voluntarily approached him.

So what if rich people have a bit of an attitude? That's called having class!

"Oh, Zhang Yi, were you just dining at this restaurant?" Lin Cainin asked nonchalantly.

Zhang Yi furrowed his brow slightly. This woman wasn't any better than Fang Yuqing; they were cut from the same cloth. She had played a part in his misfortune and death as well, having been involved in tricking him with food.

"Yeah," Zhang Yi replied coldly, then shoved his hands into his pockets and turned to walk toward the supermarket.

Fang Yuqing and Lin Cainin hurried to catch up.

"Zhang Yi, where are you heading?" Fang Yuqing asked with a gentle smile.

"To the supermarket," Zhang Yi replied, still with a cold tone and a hint of impatience. If it weren't for his intention to let her experience the despair of the apocalypse, Zhang Yi would have immediately killed her.

Fang Yuqing signaled to Lin Cainin with her eyes and quickly said, "What a coincidence, we're also planning to buy some things. It's on our way!"

Zhang Yi had figured out what was going on by now. They must have seen him dining lavishly at the Michelin three-star restaurant and mistakenly thought he was some kind of hidden second-generation rich. Hence their sudden enthusiasm toward him.

He couldn't be bothered to explain anything to them and continued walking straight to the supermarket. However, the more aloof he acted, the more Fang Yuqing and Lin Cainin believed he was a rich second-generation. Otherwise, why would he act so arrogantly?

The two followed Zhang Yi closely, with Fang Yuqing even positioning herself next to him, sometimes intentionally brushing against him. When Zhang Yi glanced at her, she would shyly turn her head away, her face blushing as if she were extremely bashful.

Zhang Yi sneered inwardly. Seductive vixen, you sure know how to act. If you went into acting, you'd definitely win an Oscar for Best Actress.

Inside the supermarket, Zhang Yi grabbed a shopping cart and headed towards the food section. Fang Yuqing and Lin Cainin quickly followed suit.

"Zhang Yi, were you dining with someone earlier?" Fang Yuqing asked with a smile.

Zhang Yi walked on, indifferent, and replied, "Can't I eat alone?"

Fang Yuqing's eyes lit up, and she quickly explained, "Oh no, I didn't mean that. It's just that the food there is quite expensive, so I thought you were treating someone to a meal!"

Unable to hold back, Lin Cainin asked, "Zhang Yi, isn't your monthly salary just over ten thousand? This meal would cost you half a year's salary."

"It seems like your family gives you quite a bit of money," she added.Fang Yuqing quickly shot Lin Cainin a fierce glare. Fool, how could you ask such a question casually? As a top-tier seductress, the most important rule is: talk about emotions with the rich and talk about money with the poor!

Realizing her mistake, Lin Cainin quickly tried to cover it up. "Haha, I was just joking. We're all good friends here, so money really doesn't matter."

However, Zhang Yi completely ignored them. He approached the food section and looked at the shelves filled with a variety of products, feeling like he had entered a treasure trove. In his past life, he had experienced the feeling of eating instant noodles for two days straight. So, he had an endless desire for food.

Zhang Yi went straight to the shelves and started putting all sorts of food into his shopping cart without hesitation. Ham sausages, instant noodles, self-heating hot pots, and seasonings – he bought them all in bulk.

This move left Fang Yuqing and Lin Cainin dumbfounded. "Zhang Yi, why are you buying so much food? Are you going camping?" Fang Yuqing asked.

"Yeah," Zhang Yi replied plainly.

Lin Cainin became suspicious and whispered to Fang Yuqing, "Would a second-generation rich go camping and eat these things?"

Fang Yuqing was also puzzled, but thinking back to the lavish meal at the Michelin three-star restaurant, she was unwilling to give up the idea that Zhang Yi might be a rich second-generation.

She approached Zhang Yi and asked eagerly, "Do you need any help?"

With free labor available, Zhang Yi had no reason not to use it. Plus, seeing Fang Yuqing's overly polite and innocent smile, Zhang Yi felt a vengeful thought arise within him.

He still had a month to prepare for the apocalypse. Building a perfect refuge to ensure his safety wasn't difficult. As for supplies, he could obtain them from the Walmart warehouse. This way, he could guarantee his absolute safety and comfortable living conditions during the apocalypse.

Why not deliberately let Fang Yuqing know that he had stored a certain amount of supplies and then let her come begging to him later? As for Fang Yuqing leaking his information and attracting attacks from those scumbag neighbors, that could be easily dealt with. As long as his safe house was built sturdy enough, he wouldn't have to worry about being attacked. Instead, he could effectively counter-attack those scumbag neighbors!

Just the thought of them being desperate and powerless while he had the upper hand made Zhang Yi's smile seem somewhat twisted.

Yes, this is indeed an option worth considering.

Zhang Yi planned to find a security company and create such a safe house. If feasible, he would proceed with this plan. If not, he would move away from the city and find a remote wilderness to build an underground shelter. This was a contingency plan.Zhang Yi's lips curved into a slight smile. "Then help me push the carts," he said.

Fang Yuqing nodded eagerly in agreement. Zhang Yi then instructed Lin Cainin to push another cart.

Though both women were filled with suspicion, they obeyed his orders.

Zhang Yi purchased a variety of perishable and non-perishable food items, including instant noodles, ham sausages, cured meats, canned goods, fresh meat, fruits, vegetables, and live fish. He wanted to test whether his dimensional space had any special effects on storing perishable items.

With three carts filled to the brim, Zhang Yi assigned the one loaded with meat and canned goods specifically to the two women. It must have weighed at least four to five hundred pounds, leaving them sweating profusely.

Fang Yuqing complained, pouting, "Zhang Yi, how many people are going to eat all of this? Do you have some event planned that you didn't tell me about?"

Zhang Yi chuckled coldly and replied, "There are unexpected changes in the world. What if doomsday comes? I'm just stocking up to survive!"

Despite Zhang Yi speaking the truth, it was unlikely anyone would believe him. A doctor named Li had confirmed this once.

Fang Yuqing thought Zhang Yi was joking and laughed, saying, "Oh, forget it if you don't want to say! Why make such jokes? But remember, you owe me a meal for the favor I did today!"

Her eyes were full of implication, hoping Zhang Yi would take her to the Michelin three-star restaurant.

Zhang Yi's lips curled slightly. "Sure, but I'm pretty busy lately. Maybe next month."

Fang Yuqing happily exclaimed, "Deal!"

Lin Cainin chimed in, "Yeah, let's do it together!"

She was delighted at the prospect of eating a lavish meal just for helping push a cart.

Seeing Lin Cainin's lack of foresight, Fang Yuqing shot her another glare, but Lin Cainin pretended not to notice.

After paying for the goods, Zhang Yi spent over ten thousand yuan on supplies. He didn't even bat an eye. In the apocalypse, the value of these supplies would increase by tens of thousands of times, if not more. Because at that time, no matter how much money you had, you might not be able to buy any food.

Since Zhang Yi had bought a lot, the supermarket happily lent him the carts. He then bossed the two women around, instructing them to help him transport the goods home.

Although he had his own car and could have easily driven the items home, having free labor was too good to pass up. Despite the women complaining about being tired, Zhang Yi's promise to treat them to a meal immediately revived their spirits.

Thus, the three of them pushed the three carts of supplies back to the residential area.
