Stockpiling (7)

Recalling her experience in the early days of the apocalypse, Yao Ran decisively placed a big order. She ordered 300,000 bottles of the 10-liter size and 200,000 boxes each of the 1.5-liter, 1-liter, 750ml, 500ml, 350ml, and 250ml sizes.

After ordering mineral water, Yao Ran called the water tank company. After thinking about it, she bought 50 water towers, 5,000 water storage tanks that can store 20,000 liters, 5,000 gallons used for water dispensers, and 5,000 extra-large buckets.

When she has time later, she can visit the water reservoir and fill those water towers, tanks, gallons, and buckets. Although there is a lake in her space, it is not known whether the lake water can be restored since she didn't find any water source inside the space. 

Her water ability will take a long time to improve. At her current level, she can only fill two buckets of water every day, which is far from enough for her daily use.

After settling the water problem, Yao Ran contacted companies and factories that sell instant foods, such as instant noodles, meals, dry food, dried fruits, compressed biscuits, instant soup, self-heating rice, self-heating dishes, etc.

Yao Ran then called other companies and bought canned food. Hundreds of thousands of boxes of canned vegetables, fruits, legumes, meats, beans, soups, ready meals, and dairy products were purchased. She bought everything in the companies and factories, enough to last her for several lifetimes.

In addition, Yao Ran also placed a large order for energy bars, chocolates, energy drinks, and Snickers bars to replenish energy in an emergency.

She also ordered tea, coffee, alcohol, cigarettes, and even a small umbrella. These items could be used as hard currency after the end of the world.

Thinking about children and babies born after the end of the world, she bought some baby supplies such as milk powder, diapers, rash cream, baby wipes, baby clothes, baby shoes, etc.

Shen then bought water purification tablets, water purifiers, and daily necessities– washing powder, laundry detergent, soap, shampoo, shower gel, conditioner, toothbrush, ointment, dishwashing liquid, lotion, sunscreen, etc. 

She also bought toilet paper, wet wipes, disinfectant wipes, sanitary napkins, disinfectant, insect repellent, snake repellent powder, and other items that could last her several lifetimes.

After thinking about it, she decided to stock up on a lot of cheap daily necessities. If she can't use them all, she can trade them for other supplies after the end of the world. These things cannot be produced anymore, and the price will only get higher and higher in the future.

Considering that there was no electricity after the torrential rain, Yao Ran decided to buy solar panels, solar generators, kerosene, gas bottles, gas stoves, bottled gas cylinders, and liquefied gas cylinders. 

She then placed another large order for wood stoves, coal stoves, alcohol stoves, and alcohol blocks. Candles, matches, lighters, flints, flashlights, and fire starters are also on the list.

She might need to go out after heavy rains and floods, so she bought inflatable boats, motorboats, and kayaks, as well as life jackets, raincoats, lifebuoys, fishing nets, fishing rods, fish-catching equipment, moisture-proof mats, diving suits, diving equipment, and other necessities.

Yao Ran also ordered various blankets, such as down blankets, silk blankets, wool blankets, cashmere blankets, etc.; she bought 500 each. 

At the end of the world, clothes are consumable. She needed to prepare more, ordering 10,000 outfits for every season. 

In addition, she ordered 300 sets of heat-resistant clothes, cold-resistant clothes, assault clothing, and military combat clothing. She even spent a lot of money to prepare 200 sets of clothes and 300 rolls of nano fabrics that can stabilize the temperature at 25 degrees Celsius.

For short-sleeves and shorts, Yao Ran didn't care about the style and only chose the simplest black and gray colors. She ordered more than three thousand sets of each color at once.

To increase the variety, Yao Ran ordered 2,000 more military jackets, leather jackets, and cotton jackets. She also bought a thousand sets of expensive warm clothes.

Compared with the various styles of clothes, the styles of shoes are relatively simple. Yao Ran didn't think much and ordered two hundred pairs of hiking boots, sports shoes, rain boots, slippers, and thick military shoes. She bought two hundred pairs of each style and size.

Thinking that she might be able to exchange these items for other supplies in the future, Yao Ran added some items for men and children. 

Even if she can't use it herself, maybe she can find someone she likes and have a family of her own in the future. Although she had no hope, she still had to make some preparations.

When extreme cold comes, the lowest temperature can reach minus eighty degrees Celsius. After thinking about it, she decided to order the equipment used by scientists in Antarctica, including snowmobiles, thermal clothing, skates, snow boots, etc.

Not forgetting the trouble of going to the toilet, Yao Ran contacted a cat litter company and purchased 200 tons of cat litter.

In order to prepare for earthquakes, Yao Ran called the construction factory to order cement, steel bars, sand, bricks, etc. She may need to build a house after the earthquake.

In addition to these daily necessities, Yao Ran also contacted several scientific research teams and ordered their products– radiation protection suits, air purification masks, portable toilets, space capsule houses, escape pods for tsunamis and earthquakes, home planting kits, etc.

She bought everything they made, spending three billion on high-technology products. When she transferred the down payment, the scientists were so happy that they nearly called her Daddy.

Two hours later, by the time she was done, she had spent more than five billion, and the first delivery of the day had arrived. Yao Ran put away her phone and went to receive the goods. 

She spent days stocking up on supplies and accepting deliveries that filled up half the space and the small villa.

Six days later, Yao Ran received a call from Grandpa Xu. She answered the phone and smiled, "Grandpa Xu, has what I wanted arrived?"
