Reborn in the Apocalypse: A Commoner's Survival Log

Unfortunately, Zhou Yang, busy with his work, failed to sense the shop owner's resentment.

He drove to a secluded spot, went into his spatial dimension, and first removed the gasoline can and oil extractor, planning to start purchasing a batch of gasoline and diesel from several nearby gas stations today.

As for the other packages, I'll unpack them slowly when I get back to the hotel.

At 10 a.m., as agreed, Zhou Yang arrived at the real estate agency and met with the buyer.

Neither party had any other objections, and the contract was quickly signed.

After Zhou Yang received half of the deposit, the group went together to complete the transfer of ownership. The buyer was also very cooperative and immediately paid the remaining balance.

After deducting taxes and fees, the total amount received was approximately 420 million.

Upon receiving the money, Zhou Yang's first action was to buy oil and medicine.

First, they found a secluded spot and used an oil extractor to drain the gasoline from the car until it was almost empty. Then, they took out two empty gasoline cans and put them in the trunk. Next, they drove the car to the nearest gas station, filled up the gas tank, and then had the gas station staff fill one can each with 92-octane gasoline and diesel before taking the car away.

If the gas station attendant asks, just say you're going on a road trip with your car club, the gasoline is for your own use, and the diesel is for someone else.

Gas station staff have seen this kind of thing many times, so they didn't suspect anything and readily filled the tank.

After leaving the gas station, Zhou Yang found a secluded corner and repeated the process, checking all seven gas stations of varying sizes in the area. He now had seven 100L containers of gasoline and seven 100L containers of diesel in his storage space.

After filling up the gas tank, Zhou Yang continued his search of various pharmacies in the area. Whenever anyone asked, he would say that he was going on a long road trip and needed to prepare some common medications.

Zhou Yang was busy until sunset before heading to the hotel he had booked.

By the time we finished checking in, it was already past 7 p.m.

He hadn't eaten dinner yet.

Fortunately, Zhou Yang had all kinds of food in his space, so he wasn't worried.

Take out a plate of steamed egg dumplings with black fungus and salted pork, a plate of lettuce with oyster sauce, and a bowl of white rice.

One dinner was all it took.

After finishing their meal and tidying up briefly, Zhou Yang began to take stock of what he had accomplished that day.

They bought over 20 yuan worth of oil and medicine, but it was still far from Zhou Yang's target, so they could only continue to collect more slowly later.

After taking stock, Zhou Yang had a clear idea of ​​what was going on, so she went straight to wash up.

Afterwards, Zhou Yang went into the space again, unpacked the remaining packages, and sorted and stored them.

Then he watered the vegetable garden and fed the poultry and livestock before going to sleep peacefully.

The next day, Zhou Yang did the same thing again, going to several other districts to buy oil and medicine.

While passing by an appliance market in the northern part of the city, Zhou Yang suddenly realized that he seemed to have forgotten to buy a generator, so he went in to ask if they had any small outdoor or household generators.

Surprisingly, they actually exist, and there are quite a few models, including those that burn gasoline or diesel, hand-cranked or foot-operated, and even solar-powered ones.

Zhou Yang bought the highest power version of each item, and also bought several small portable ones in various styles.

However, these can only generate a limited amount of electricity, enough to power some small appliances, so I asked the sales assistant if they had any larger ones.

The sales associate, seeing that this was a big customer and that his commission for the month was secured, enthusiastically introduced several large commercial generators. However, because they were relatively large, they weren't displayed in the store but were all kept in the warehouse, though pictures and information were available for reference.

Zhou Yang then looked at the pictures and said he wanted one of each. The sales assistant was all smiles, immediately wrote out the order, and said that home delivery was available.

After giving the sales assistant the warehouse address and arranging to pick up the goods at 5 pm, Zhou Yang left immediately after paying and rushed to the next gas station.

With plenty of time today, Zhou Yang managed to buy more than twice the amount of oil and medicine he did yesterday.

Zhou Yang had originally planned to go to a medical equipment store to buy some medical instruments that might be useful for fractures and external injuries, but when she asked, they were quite expensive, so she gave up and decided to wait until after the apocalypse.

Buying something for free is better than anything else.

After driving through several districts, Zhou Yang checked the time and estimated that by the time he drove back to the warehouse it would be almost time to pick up the goods, so he hurriedly drove back.

When I arrived at the warehouse, it was just past 5 o'clock, and the delivery driver had been waiting there since early morning.

After signing for the generators, Zhou Yang was exhausted and finally headed home.

Back at the hotel, after dinner, Zhou Yang took stock of the existing supplies and remaining funds.

Currently, all the food we have combined is enough to last for about sixty years, which seems sufficient for now. However, this is the total amount of all food; staple foods like rice and flour, as well as highly nutritious vegetables and fruits, are clearly still insufficient.

Although the space can be used for planting, Zhou Yang is not very good at farming. He can only grow some simple vegetables and fruits now, and he can't do anything more difficult. He really doesn't know how to grow rice and wheat, and he needs to store enough to last him a lifetime.

However, he's not in a hurry about food right now. He can just buy it for free at various supermarkets when the apocalypse begins, and there will be plenty then.

However, it's still necessary to purchase a batch of various improved varieties in advance and keep them as a reserve. Although he doesn't know how to farm, he wants to have some in case of need. Besides, even if he doesn't know how to farm, there's always someone else who might. He can trade them with the base later and let them find a way to cultivate them, which is also a way to give hope for the future.

The most pressing needs right now are gasoline and medicine, as well as other fuels such as gas and coal.

Zhou Yang thought for a moment and decided that after the house in Baijishan was renovated, he would rent a warehouse there and then purchase a batch of supplies from suppliers under the pretense of opening a small supermarket.

Right now, we still need to address the water issue first, as well as the medicine and gasoline.

Zhou Yang plans to set off early tomorrow morning, first going to a certain spring's water source in Qiandao Lake to fill some of the water tanks, and then going to another place to continue. He plans to visit several water sources that are not too far apart, and also to sample the local delicacies along the way.

Starting from Qiandao Lake, the route goes south to Guangdong and Guangxi, then north to Sichuan, then to neighboring Guizhou, then north to Hubei, and finally around Jiangsu and Shanghai.

By then, he figured the house in Baijishan would be almost ready, so he went straight back to Baijishan.

Zhou Yang had already researched and recorded the food and supplies he needed to buy online, filling several pages with information about each province he passed through.

He didn't plan to stay in a hotel to rest; when he got tired, he would find a secluded spot to park and go straight into his spatial dimension to sleep. Once he woke up and had rested enough, he would continue his journey.

This saves time and also saves a considerable amount of money.
