Snatching Supplies

Those with foresight had already begun to use their own connections to buy generators and solar panels.

After the power shortage, the white-collar workers who used to work from home lost their jobs. Many small companies also closed down at this time. More than half of the people in the city lost their source of income.

Those who had savings were better off, while those who were living paycheck to paycheck struggled to survive. After all, they had no income, but the prices of goods had begun to rise sharply.

The weather was getting hotter and hotter, and it had not rained for a long time. The discussion about the coming of the apocalypse on the internet was taking a more serious turn. People with a little bit of savings began to stock up on supplies like crazy, causing the price of goods to rise by leaps and bounds.

The prices of almost all the commodities had nearly doubled. Pork, which was originally about 20 per 500 grams, had now been sold for more than 40.

In the hot summer, the price of green vegetables and fruits had risen even more outrageously, around four or five times.

During this period, Du Yue would make use of the time after sunset to go to the supermarket. Other than snacks, she would also buy some other things.

When she was packing up the food, she bought a lot of instant food products, such as instant noodles, hot and sour noodles, and seasoning powder, but she still left out one thing, which was dried noodles.

After Du Yue recalled this, she would put dozens of packets of ramen in her shopping cart every time she went to the supermarket. The city Du Yue was living in was one of the few municipality-level cities in Huaxia. It was a first-tier city.

Therefore, the scale of the supermarkets and shopping malls here were very large, and there were many of them. Du Yue usually went to a different supermarket to buy things every day. Every time she bought something, she would mix it up with a variety of items. She tried not to buy too much of one item to avoid attracting attention.

After she returned to her car, Du Yue put most of her things into her storage space, but she would still leave one or two shopping bags for herself to carry home, so that no one suspected anything.

After all, at this point in time, everyone was frantically hoarding supplies. Many people went to the supermarket several times a day to buy things, so Du Yue did not stand out among them.

Very quickly, September 15th arrived.

In the past, by this time, the merchants would have already stored their summer clothes into the warehouse and started selling their autumn clothes. However, now, whether it was the pedestrians on the road or in the shopping mall, almost all of them were wearing shorts, a tank top, and slippers. When she went out at night, Du Yue noticed that many shops in the mall had put up autumn and winter clothing on discounted sale prices.

Although Du Yue had enough clothes in her storage space, she still bought some in her own size.

Looking at the various styles of autumn and winter clothing in the store, Du Yue thought for a moment before walking in.

In his previous life, Du Yue had struggled through the apocalyptic world alone. Although there were men who tried to get close to her, they all had various ulterior motives.

Du Yue understood that. Naturally, she would not have had too much contact with those people. That was why she had remained alone until the time of her death.

This life was different. Du Yue had already made almost all the preparations, but she was not sure if she would still have to fight alone during the apocalypse.

Anyway, she still had space in her storage space and a lot of money, so it would be a waste not to buy stuff.

If he really met the person who could travel with her in the future, these clothes would not be a waste.

Of course, even if she never encountered such a person, these clothes would not go to waste. She could still wear them herself!

With that thought in mind, Du Yue walked into the store and bought a lot of men’s clothes. They were all according to her standards of choosing a partner, which was 180 cm tall and 160 kg.

Du Yue felt that even if she risked spending the rest of her life alone, she could not just randomly find just anybody. Her future partner had to at least meet the two requirements of height and weight. Otherwise, given how dangerous the apocalyptic world was, she did not want to find a man that would drag her down.

Du Yue’s car was parked outside the mall. After paying the bill, she and the three shop assistants made four to five trips before they managed to load all the clothes into the car.

Fortunately, the bed of her pickup was big enough, otherwise, it would not have been able to fit.

Du Yue drove back to her neighborhood. After parking the car in the underground garage, she took a plastic bag filled with snacks and went into the elevator.

As for the clothes, shoes, and socks, Du Yue had already stored them in her storage space once she was in the underground parking lot.
