Reborn: I Stock Up and Bully the Trash to Dominate the Apocalypse

Before leaving, Qi Mingyu stuffed some bulging things into Zhou Shuwan's space, which looked like hot weapons.

Zhou Shuwan suppressed his curiosity and didn't ask until they were on the road: "I never asked you, where did you get all those weapons?"

Qi Mingyucai smiled faintly. "Actually, I didn't have much time to stockpile supplies, but I made a list of them when I decided to leave the army. After so many years of missions, I have over a million yuan in my account, and with my grandmother's savings, it's probably close to two million yuan. I met a guy in a neighboring city who specializes in running errands for people. He's involved in both the legitimate and criminal worlds, and he has several people under him. He got into trouble back then, and I helped him out, so we have a good relationship.

I gave him full authority to purchase various supplies for me, buying them wholesale directly from the manufacturers and shipping them to a warehouse in our city. When I returned, I rented a small truck and hauled them away at night. I only wanted food that could be stored for a long time, and I didn't have a wide variety, so it would be easier to stockpile.

This saves a lot of time and frees up hands to prepare other materials, such as energy, new technologies, etc.

I don't buy much coal, just enough to last for two years.

As for the iron ore, I also contacted this errand boy. When the floods began and people panicked, he brought a dozen people with him to the iron ore mine. At that time, the water level was not high, and the machinery in the mine was still functioning normally. He easily pulled out more than 20 carts of ore. I took a small portion and stored it in a cave, waiting to be used again in the future.

Qi Mingyu told the story while driving.

Zhou Shuwan was stunned and couldn't help but ask, "Is this errand boy you're talking about similar to people like Achang? Are they both middlemen?"

Qi Mingyu shook his head. "There's a bit of a similarity, but the helpers he brings with him are more like thugs. They're loan sharks, they help people collect debts, and they're hired as bodyguards for high salaries when companies are in trouble. They're not good people, but they're also loyal. Some things are difficult to handle, and people like them are more likely to have connections. That's why he and I interacted more often. When the end of the world approached, he learned from me that floods might be coming, so he and his men focused on getting supplies."

Zhou Shuwan nodded and continued to stare at him with sparkling eyes.

Qi Mingyu's voice was very low. "As for the weapons, it was the division commander I told you about. After my application for discharge was approved, he asked me to help him transfer a large number of weapons. He said he only trusted me and agreed to reward me after the weapons were safely delivered. I was told to use them with caution. Actually, now that I think about it, I already believed the prophet's words and made various arrangements.

At that time, I also thought about the importance of weapons, so I took the opportunity to pick up some cold weapons and hot weapons, hid some, and put some in the trunk of the car and brought back some.

Zhou Shuwan was amazed. "It's easy to be an official when you have connections in the court. You can freely choose weapons that ordinary people only dream of. It's really enviable. But your teacher, is he also worried about the apocalypse and stockpiling weapons in advance?"

Qi Mingyu revealed a secretive expression: "For things like this, the less you know, the safer it is. I never asked any questions from the beginning to the end. I just completed the task as required."

Transporting weapons was the last mission for him and his team. After delivering the weapons, he said goodbye to his team members and went home. He has not been in contact with them since.

I don’t know what happened to them!

Zhou Shuwan nodded, showing her understanding, and smiled again: "Anyway, it's a reward for you, so why not take it? Now our family is also benefiting from it."

Qi Mingyu looked at her with a smile and said something in a low voice.

Zhou Shuwan didn't hear clearly and leaned forward: "What?"

Qi Mingyu raised his voice again: "I mean, what's mine is not yours, it's not just luck."

He suddenly said such seductive words in a serious manner, and Zhou Shuwan's face turned red and she didn't come back to her senses for a long time.

They went out this time with a purpose.

I have actually stockpiled most of the common supplies in life, such as food, drink and daily necessities.

What we need to stockpile now are resources that ordinary people don’t have easy access to, but which will be used in the future when building bases to restore social order.

For example, they are going to a steel market now.

J City mainly produces coal and aluminum, with smaller amounts of other energy metals.

Some large factories, mines and manufacturing industries are located around the provincial capital.

Fortunately, J City is not far from the provincial capital, and it only takes an hour and a half to drive there.

Zhou Shuwan and Qi Mingyu had made plans before setting off. They took out a paper map, marked the large factories and mines near the provincial capital and J City, and then went to them one by one according to distance.

The steel market they were going to for the first time was very close to J City, at the intersection of J City and the provincial capital.

These steels will later become the most commonly used building material in construction, but no one sees its importance now.

It takes an hour and a half to drive on the highway, but after the apocalypse, many roadbeds have been washed away, so you need to stop after driving for a while, put the car into the space, and walk carefully along the side.

However, when they got on the highway, the two men found several large cracks on the road, which were filled with soil and gravel, and it seemed that they had been specially repaired.

It’s normal to think about it. Air-conditioned clothes, cacti, new tires, etc. are all distributed and transported layer by layer.

Therefore, it is necessary to build a smooth road.

The road condition was bad, and we had to stop and go from time to time, so the journey was quite slow.

It was supposed to be an hour and a half drive, but ended up being two and a half hours walking.

They set out at eight in the morning and arrived at half past ten.

The two did not get out of the car, but took advantage of the air conditioning in the car to eat something to replenish their energy.

Seeing Zhou Shuwan take out a few pieces of chocolate, Qi Mingyu couldn't help but admire: "It's great to have space. In this weather, you can still eat fresh chocolate. Although I stocked up carefully to preserve it, it got damp and melted. It's no longer in good shape."

Zhou Shuwan handed him another bottle of iced Red Bull. The latter raised his eyebrows, took it and drank it all in one gulp.

After eating, the two put on air-conditioned clothes and got out of the car.

This is considered the largest steel plant in the provincial capital city. The plant area is very large, covering more than 1500 acres.

They parked their car in Area 2. Not long after walking in, they saw piles of steel neatly stacked. Zhou Shuwan walked over and put them all into the space.

After collecting all the steel they saw in Area 2, the two drove to Area 3, where steel was also produced. Not only was there steel in the factory, but there was also a long production line inside the area.

Zhou Shuwan stared at the long production line before walking over and putting his hand on the sophisticated instrument. Soon, the entire production line entered the space.

Qi Mingyu on the side was very shocked.
