With the gun situation sorted out, Zhang Yi felt considerably relieved. In the apocalypse, having this tool provided immense confidence when encountering both humans and non-humans.
The next day, Zhang Yi packed some important items from home into his space. Since his house was going to be turned into a safe house, he needed to temporarily move to a hotel.
Early in the morning, three black vans entered Yuelu Community. A large group of workers from the War Dragon Company, dressed in work uniforms, got out of the vans and began measuring the data of Zhang Yi's house.
Many neighbors witnessed this scene, their eyes filled with curiosity.
"Has Zhang Yi taken the wrong medicine recently? Why does he keep doing all these strange things?"
"Exactly! The other day at the supermarket, I saw him buying groceries with three shopping carts!"
"Hahaha! If you didn't know any better, you'd think the apocalypse was coming, hoarding all that food. Isn't it all going to waste when it expires?"
"Maybe he's having some mental issues!"
Despite the collective misunderstanding of Zhang Yi's unusual behavior, nobody cared. They just saw him as a joke.
Even Fang Yuqing and Lin Cainin thought Zhang Yi had lost his mind. Lin Cainin suddenly exclaimed, "I get it now! No wonder he went to that Michelin three-star restaurant for dinner. His brain must have gone bad!"
Fang Yuqing frowned, feeling particularly disgruntled. She remembered the day when she approached Zhang Yi, helping him carry so many things home until her feet were sore. She was filled with anger.
"What is Zhang Yi up to, anyway?" she murmured.
Lin Cainin, on the other hand, expressed some concern. "But didn't he promise to treat us to a big meal? He won't forget, will he? I've been looking forward to dining at the Michelin three-star restaurant!"
Fang Yuqing chuckled, "Forget it! Considering his recent abnormal behavior, even if he invites me, I won't go. Imagine being seen eating with him, how embarrassing!"
She was determined to marry into wealth; she couldn't afford to ruin her reputation.
Though Lin Cainin felt reluctant, she had no choice but to give up.
Meanwhile, Zhang Yi couldn't care less about how the neighbors perceived him. In a month's time, they would realize who the real joke was.
Zhang Yi left his house and drove to the Walmart warehouse. Since it was Monday and he had to go to work, he decided to investigate the warehouse thoroughly, making it convenient for him to act later.
The Walmart warehouse was located in the economic development zone, on the outskirts of Tianhai City. Due to the relatively cheap land prices there, many large corporate warehouses were concentrated in this area, including those of pharmaceutical companies.
Certainly, here's the text with proper paragraph formatting:
This made it convenient for Zhang Yi to acquire some special medicines.
Upon arriving at the Walmart warehouse, Zhang Yi clocked in for work as usual. As the supervisor of the warehouse, Zhang Yi was extremely familiar with the place. It could be said that he knew every warehouse and even every shelf like the back of his hand. Usually, he found it quite boring to be here. However, today, seeing these enormous warehouses and the goods worth tens or even hundreds of billions, his heart was filled with uncontrollable excitement. Because soon, all these things would be taken by him, becoming his most important resources in the apocalypse.
As Walmart's South China regional warehouse, the amount of goods here was beyond anyone's imagination. There were tens of thousands of cans of cola alone! The entire warehouse covered millions of square meters, filled to the brim with all kinds of daily necessities.
Apart from food, clothing, hardware tools, and other daily necessities, there were even cars, drones, diesel generators, and barrels of gasoline. It could be said that as long as it was allowed to be sold in supermarkets, you could definitely buy it here.
Zhang Yi had been working here for many years and knew exactly what was on every shelf. He was also very clear about the scheduling and camera positions here. Although the surveillance here was very tight, he, who was familiar with its loopholes, could disable the entire monitoring system within ten minutes.
Then, utilizing the ability of the system space, he could take away everything here! But now, Zhang Yi was not in a hurry to act. There was still plenty of time, and he didn't want to alert anyone. After taking a stroll around the warehouse, he left.
Carrying a pack of Huanghelou cigarettes, he came to the adjacent warehouse of Ruining Pharmaceutical Company. Since they worked in the same vicinity on weekdays, he was quite familiar with the staff here too. After arriving, Zhang Yi found the manager of their warehouse, Zhou Hairun.
Everyone knew each other well on weekdays. In a large corporation's warehouse, there were inevitably people who were eating from the warehouse. This Zhou Hairun, whose sister was the vice president of the Ruining Group, often stole some drugs from the warehouse to sell.
After finding Zhou Hairun, Zhang Yi chatted with him for a while, then indirectly stated his purpose. He hoped to acquire several boxes of special medicines for treating urgent illnesses. Zhou Hairun was initially cautious.
However, later, when Zhang Yi mentioned that he could offer double the market price as long as the drugs were obtained, Zhou Hairun couldn't hold back his excitement.In the end, the two parties settled on a price of 3 million for five large boxes of medicine.
If measured by the standards of an average person, the number of times they would fall sick in their lifetime wouldn't even amount to half of what was obtained.
With the medicines sorted out, Zhang Yi had essentially prepared all the supplies he needed for the apocalypse.
With less than a month left until doomsday, he naturally didn't have the mood to continue working.
So, he went to the warehouse manager's office, fabricating a story that his grandfather from the same ancestral lineage in his hometown had passed away, and he needed to return for the funeral, requesting a twenty-day leave.
Zhang Yi had good relations with people on regular days, and his relationship with the manager was also good.
So even though the requested leave seemed a bit outlandish, he wasn't met with any difficulties and easily obtained the leave.
For the next period, Zhang Yi planned to lounge comfortably in a five-star hotel, waiting for his purchased supplies to arrive and for the construction of his safe house to be completed.
As he walked out of the manager's office, he happened to see Fang Yuqing bending over at the coffee machine, pouring herself a cup.
It had to be said, this woman indeed possessed some assets that attracted attention, exuding a certain allure.
Pouring coffee, she still didn't forget to sway her hips a little.
Sure enough, it attracted some young men to come over and offer their flattery.
A guy next to her grinned and invited Fang Yuqing to go see Jay Chou's concert together, waving his ticket in a showy manner.
This guy was named Zhou Peng, and Zhang Yi had a rather deep impression of him.
Because they also lived in the same neighborhood.
Moreover, he was Fang Yuqing's loyal follower, and in the past life, among the people who caused trouble for Zhang Yi, he was one of them.
