Chapter 124: Chapter 123: Strong Replenishment in Space (1)

She couldn’t tell whether it was the “violence” of her slashing at the snake with a knife that scared it last time, or the “desserts” she brought for it this time.

Su Shu tentatively brought in two chickens to frolic in front of it, but it lounged lazily on one side, completely ignoring them, so she felt relieved.

All the goods were collected into her space; since there was no chicken coop at the moment, the poultry were let loose inside the space. After tidying up the storeroom, she then stepped out of the space.

After being busy all night, when she came out, the dawn was just beginning to show outside the window.

She massaged her sore shoulders, feeling much more relaxed, and headed to the kitchen to make breakfast.

As the sun gradually rose, the morning light shone through the kitchen window as breakfast was ready.

Before the storm arrived, Su Shu had less than a month left.

The earthquake in the Peng Mountain Region had shown Su Shu how crises could unexpectedly arise when they hit.

In the following days, she became increasingly aware of this fact from the news broadcasts; from north to south, from west to east, a succession of crises both big and small had begun to show clear signs of an impending change in the world.

The government was ceaselessly rescuing people everywhere, and occasionally, the news anchors would use “This is a tough year for us all” to encourage everyone.

In the city, there was a subtle sense of rising prices, and as she made herself a cup of coffee and sat in front of the computer, she felt that some people might have already noticed.

Half a month ago, after asking around, she finally found a reliable channel to sell the gem spat out by Little Red Snake. After deducting the intermediary fee, she was left with about six million three hundred thousand, far exceeding all her savings.

Because of this, she had prepared lots of delicious food for it in the past half month. Its life in her space was flavorful; either basking in the sun or strolling among chickens, ducks and geese every day.

As long as it didn’t touch the supplies in her reserve storeroom, Su Shu couldn’t be bothered with it.

She also found time to set up a chicken coop within the space, having it made and then collected it inside.

Over that half month, she had spent almost all her money, converting it into supplies necessary for surviving in the Apocalypse.

Limited by her financial means in the past, she had many things she wanted to buy and do but couldn’t afford to. Now with several million more, things suddenly seemed a bit easier.

Food, clean water, medicine, weapons for self-defense… anything she could think of that might be needed later, she had stocked up on, more or less.

After experiencing the unpredictability of Peng Mountain, she no longer thought about simply stocking enough to last through the few years of the Apocalypse. She was concerned about unforeseen events that might happen later, so the more supplies, the better.

Once her perspective had shifted, Su Shu put all her energy into this.

After the Apocalypse began, systems like electricity and finance collapsed very quickly.

She purchased two high-power generators and several smaller ones as a precaution.

She ordered about a dozen hard drives, downloading many movies and educational courses that she found useful, both for herself and for Xiao’ai.

Xiao’ai was still young and needed an education, so she bought many educational supplies to keep for her use.

Everyday life boiled down to concerns over money and the basics like oil, salt, soy sauce, vinegar, and tea, but hygiene was especially critical amidst the crisis, so she also prepared appropriate sanitary products.

Pots, pans, dishes, bowls, whether they were made of porcelain, terra cotta, plastic or even disposable paper, she had prepared some of each type.

The most important sanitary napkins, she had almost built up half a storeroom’s worth of boxes in her backyard.
