"The Cambrian Storm will last at least a few decades; I need to be fully prepared."
Fortunately, Zhang Yi's connections in Tianhai City were quite decent.
After all, as a storage manager, he knew some of the staff in hospital warehouses.
As long as he was willing to pay enough money, he could get his hands on any kind of medicine.
Having resolved these issues, Zhang Yi tapped his ballpoint pen on his notebook.
"Next, there's one last issue I need to address."
His gaze became sharp.
"And that is weapons!"
When the apocalypse arrives, and human nature is lost, battles over resources will be commonplace.
Human life will be cheap, and to stay alive, one must have sufficient firepower.
Zhang Yi was no martial arts master, but no matter how skillful one is, even the best martial artist fears a kitchen knife.
He simply needed to prepare weapons that were strong enough to nullify such concerns.
"Machetes, crowbars, and axes are easy to get a hold of."
"I also have channels for crossbows, air guns, and composite bows."
"But the most powerful ones, of course, are the American-style katanas. These can only be acquired through the black market."
Zhang Yi stroked his chin; this issue was not yet resolved.
But he still had a month's time, and as long as he was willing to spend money, he would likely find a way.
After spending three hours crafting a perfect plan, he happily took a hot shower before lying down in his comfortable bed to sleep.
...
The next morning, Zhang Yi got out of bed.
He hadn't slept well, waking up several times due to nightmares.
Upon awakening and finding himself still in the warm, cozy bed of his home, he sighed with relief.
His experiences during the apocalypse had inflicted substantial trauma on his psyche.
To avoid repeating past mistakes, Zhang Yi was even more determined to take every precaution!
After getting up, Zhang Yi made himself breakfast.
Then he opened his unique space to check on the changes in the supplies he had stored there.
To his delight, he found that the meat, fruits, and vegetables he left overnight had not changed at all.
You can't tell much about meat in a short period, but fruits and vegetables tend to lose their freshness overnight.
However, after being placed in the unique space, they remained as fresh as when he had just bought them.
"My unique space exists independent of this world; perhaps the rules of time are different here."
"It might be that time flows more slowly, or is even at a standstill. This is great news!"
"With this, I can place various items inside without any worries."
However, when Zhang Yi checked on the fish he had placed inside, he found that they had died.
Though they appeared lifelike even in death, there was no sign of spoilage.
Zhang Yi rubbed his chin, understanding more rules about using his unique space.
"Living things can't survive long inside; looks like my idea of living in there isn't too realistic."
It wasn't a big problem, the unique space was a blank expanse, far from as comfortable as Zhang Yi's home.
As long as he could store items in it, that was all that mattered.
With that thought, Zhang Yi had many ideas.
Since he could preserve fresh meat and vegetables, how about cooked meals?
While Zhang Yi could cook, he still wasn't as good as a professional chef.
Relying solely on his own cooking would eventually get tiresome for him.
So, without further ado, Zhang Yi immediately made a phone call to the largest five-star hotel in Tianhai City.
"Hello, this is the Honorable Globe Hotel. How may I assist you?"
Zhang Yi didn't beat around the bush: "I am hosting guests at my home and need to arrange a banquet that runs for three days and nights. I would like to order meals for 500 tables!"
The person on the other end of the line was taken aback.
Preparing 500 tables of food, even for them, would take quite some time.
Moreover, they were a five-star hotel where the cheapest banquet would cost a few thousand per table.
For 500 tables, that would indeed amount to over a million yuan!
The employee didn't dare to make a decision and quickly said, "Please hold a moment; I will consult with our manager."
After a short wait, another person took over the call.
"Good day, sir. I am Chen Dingfang, the manager of the Honorable Globe Hotel. May I know how to address you?"
