Zhang Yi had a delivery person bring 100 huge water buckets to his house. Then he started to open all the taps at home, filling up the buckets with water. At this rate, it would take at most a week to fill all 100 buckets.
As the days passed, Zhang Yi did not idle for even a moment. He spent every penny he had without a second thought: dining at the finest restaurants daily and then purchasing large quantities of meals from top-tier establishments to store in his other-dimensional space.
He also visited the shooting range in Tianhai City every day to practice archery and firearms, working hard to improve his skills. It was unrealistic to expect to become a combat expert within a month, but with bows, guns, and a super-safe house encased in full metal, he wouldn't fear any potential dangers that might come.
Naturally, such behavior did not go unnoticed by everyone around him. But everyone, including Fang Yuqing, took Zhang Yi as a joke, thinking he had lost his mind and mocked him behind his back.
Days went by, and soon more than twenty days had elapsed, with the doomsday drawing near. Zhang Yi had amassed a massive supply of resources, including food, weapons, and heating equipment. However, this still did not give him enough of a sense of security.
He decided to target the giant warehouse owned by Walmart. By taking over the warehouse, he could obtain a vast amount of resources that he wouldn't be able to exhaust in ten lifetimes!
So, Zhang Yi returned to the warehouse to resume his normal work schedule. Walmart's warehouse was staffed 24 hours a day, but at night, there were only 10 people on duty. Zhang Yi decided to use the simplest and most brutal method, which was to add sleeping pills to their tea. With less than a week left before the apocalypse, he wasn't afraid of being discovered.
Since he was familiar with everyone there, it was very easy for him to carry out his plan. Once the drug took effect and everyone was sound asleep, Zhang Yi went to the control room and shut down the warehouse's surveillance cameras!
After he had done this, he quickly went to the warehouse. Looking at the huge warehouse in front of him, Zhang Yi took a deep breath and then started collecting the supplies.
As long as he glanced over a shelf with his right eye and gave it a thought, the entire shelf's contents would appear in his other-dimensional space.
First, Zhang Yi headed to the beverage section, containing hundreds of thousands of tons of mineral water, drinks, including many high-end wines and spirits. Zhang Yi didn't discriminate, scooping everything into his storage space.
Soon, thousands of cubic meters of beverages and alcohol disappeared into thin air.
The next area was the living supplies and fuel section, holding loads of smokeless coal and barrelled gasoline, alcohol - all intended for home storage or use during camping trips. There were thousands of boxes of smokeless coal, not to mention solid alcohol and barrelled gasoline. The quantity here was so vast that Zhang Yi could not use it all in a hundred years!
Zhang Yi did not hesitate to take them all and then, using his many years of professional knowledge in warehouse management, organized them in his other-dimensional space for easy access.
His third stop was the food section, which was even larger, amassing tens of thousands of tons!
Canned food, packaged roast chicken, roast duck; puffed food, instant food, high-end snacks… Zhang Yi was not picky and took whatever he could grab.
After taking the food, Zhang Yi moved on to the sports equipment. Exercise equipment was also essential for his safety house. Even though the space in the safety house was limited, he was not shy to take what he could since the space in his other-dimensional area was infinite – it was all free for the taking.
Among them, there were some especially useful items. Baseball bats and fencing equipment, for instance, became particularly good weapons. During his collection process, Zhang Yi found some other particularly useful items, such as skiing and climbing equipment, which included professional cold-resistant suits used by national athletes. These could withstand temperatures as low as minus one hundred degrees!
Zhang Yi's eyes lit up at these findings; such gear would be top-level protective equipment after the arrival of an ice age apocalypse!
He made no hesitations, rapidly taking dozens of top-quality cold-resistant suits and sleeping bags from the warehouse.
After about two hours, Zhang Yi alone had emptied the Walmart warehouse that spanned millions of square meters!
After all this, looking at the immense and empty warehouse, Zhang Yi's heart filled with indescribable satisfaction. With this, even against the coldest of ice ages, he was confident he could live comfortably!
Zhang Yi returned to his post and drank a sip of the tea laced with sleeping pills before lying down on the table and drifting off to sleep.
After some unknown time, he was urgently shaken awake.
"Supervisor, supervisor, something big happened, wake up!"
Zhang Yi slowly opened his eyes, looking bewildered at the few colleagues in front of him.
"What's the matter?"
A warehouse employee, trembling, pointed towards the warehouse and said, "The devil must have taken it! Our warehouse has been emptied!"
"What?!"
Zhang Yi shot up, pretending to be shocked and smacked the desk as he stood.
He went to the warehouse as if he was unaware of what had happened and, of course, was met with an empty sight.
Nobody knew what had happened better than Zhang Yi himself.
Yet, he still collapsed to his knees, saying in a quivering voice, "What on earth happened? How can all the supplies in the warehouse just vanish?"
The employees around him were also tense.
"Yes, the supplies here are worth billions! Even if someone used big trucks, it would take days to move them. How could everything disappear in the blink of an eye?"
About falling asleep earlier, they said nothing.
After all, it was common to doze off occasionally during the night shift.
Zhang Yi put on a worried façade and walked back and forth.
He then told everyone, "This matter is too bizarre, we can't handle it. Better call and notify our superiors!"
Although everyone was tense, they were not overly scared.
Big trouble meant they would bear less responsibility.
The goods in the whole warehouse worth billions disappeared in just two hours; obviously, that was not something they could do.
Earning only a few thousand a month, they did not have to risk their lives for the company.
So when Zhang Yi suggested this, they all nodded their heads in agreement.
Let the higher-ups worry about this mess!
Zhang Yi immediately called the warehouse manager to report the incident.
The manager, upon hearing the news, was dumbfounded and even thought for a moment that Zhang Yi was joking.
