"Old fat woman, if you keep talking nonsense, I'll beat your mouth to pieces!"
Arthur knew that it was impossible to argue with such an unreasonable person. He glared at them fiercely, stretched out his hand and pushed the 100kg fat woman back a few steps, and then walked away.
A dying person. I don't know if it will become a roasted pig under the high temperature of 60℃.
"You… you dare to push me, wait and see!" The fat woman was also a bully. Seeing that Arthur was so reckless, she didn't dare to stop Arthur anymore, but she still said harsh words and threatened him.
Arthur ignored it. What can a fat dumb@ss do? Catching a rich man to avenge him? He was not in the mood to stay here to eat. Holding the "Lightning Miu", he went all the way back home and ordered takeout and some cat food on the way. Sitting on the sofa, Arthur held the tabby cat by her armpits, lifted her up high, and looked at her carefully again.
It was indeed a female cat.
Her fur was brown and black, and it weighed nearly ten kilograms, so it was quite heavy to hold. The most obvious feature was that there was a white patch at the end of its tail, which looked like a lightning bolt pattern.
Almost the same as the rumored "Lightning Miu"!
Arthur was excited when he thought that he would have a cat with electrical powers in the outbreak. However, this cat was very fierce and vindictive, so he had to subdue her first.
"From now on, I am your master, do you know it?"
"Meow."
Lmiu meowed, curled up her tail, and attached it to herself.
It seemed to say: I am a female cat, is it really polite for you to stare at me like this?
Arthur didn't understand at all, and thought that Lmiu agreed, and excitedly took out cat food: "Come here, have a nice meal, and travel with me alongside in the future."
Seeing the tuna cat food can, Lmiu showed off, and meowed in her mouth.
Lmiu: Forget it, for the sake of cat food, I'll do it with you.
One young man and one cat reached a friendly agreement.
The next day, Arthur left Lmiu at home and prepared to go to the loan in order to get his money.
His house is more than 130 square meters, and according to the housing prices in Los Angeles, it is worth about 4 million(cny). The bank can lend Arthur 3 million(cny), but because he requires the loan to be released within 3 days, the interest rate is also one point higher than normal, but Arthur doesn't care at all.
After borrowing money from the bank, he began to inquire about private lending.
In Los Angeles, there are a total of 3 relatively large private lending organizations and several small organizations.
However, the interest rate of private lending is higher. If calculated according to the annual interest rate, the interest rate starts at 200%, which is simply robbing money.
Moreover, they all use violence to collect debts. They are not afraid that you will not pay back the money, but they are afraid that you will not lend from them.
When Arthur went to a loan company, he saw a man who had no money to pay back his debts, and he was beaten to a bloody mess.
"I told you to pay back the debt! Where is the money?"
Those people were still looking at Arthur, as if telling him that this would be the end of not paying back the debt.
However, Arthur didn't panic at all.
It was almost the end of the world, and it was unclear whether they could survive. Even if they survived and found him, he would not be afraid.
When that time came, Lmiu could just electrocute them to death with a single meow.
Arthur borrowed from all the private loans in Los Angeles,from big to small companies.
Unfortunately, when Arthur asked them if he could get a naked loan, everyone gave him a blank look.
In the end, he only borrowed more than 6 million.
Arthur was a little dissatisfied. Why couldn't men get a naked loan? It was naked gender discrimination.
He counted his own funds.
Adding the 3 million bank loan before and the original 1 million, Arthur now has about 10 million.
"I don't know if it's enough."
It was almost three days after he borrowed the money.
"Ding-ling-ling…"
After not going to work for a few days, Cathy, the department head of the company, called him.
"Arthur, you didn't come to work today. Do you still want to work? Come to my office quickly."
Cathy was Arthur's leader. She was in her 40s and still had lustful intentions. Seeing that Arthur is handsome, she wants to take advantage of him.
She always asks Arthur to serve tea and water. She calls him into the office and asks Arthur to give her a massage.
She hinted that he would be promoted and get a raise if he agreed to her.
Arthur couldn't stand it anymore.
"Go to work? Send your daughter here and I'll do it."
It's going to be the end of the world. Who the hell wants to go to work?
Arthur hung up directly.
Cathy was stunned. How dare Arthur become so tough and talk to her like this? Didn't he usually swallow his anger?
Cathy was furious and continued to call Arthur, but found that she had been blocked by him.
So, she angrily criticized Arthur in the work group.
Arthur wanted to laugh. Who the hell would want the position of a team leader.
He left the group chat directly.
After being tired for a few days, Arthur laid comfortably on the sofa, holding Lmiu in his arms and petting the cat.
There are only 6 days left until the end of the world…
"Ding-ling-ling…"
After a while, Arthur received another call.
It turned out that the cold storage had been completed.
Arthur was delighted and went to inspect it immediately.
The 300-square-meter cold storage has three times the number of equipment as a normal cold storage, and the refrigeration effect is first-class.
"Boss, what goods are you going to store? I have experience in this area and can help you debug the equipment." Oliver was still intentionally or unintentionally asking what Arthur was using the cold storage to store.
Arthur glanced at him: "Do you know why dogs don't catch mice?"
"Because dogs don't eat mice?" Oliver was a little confused, but Arthur ignored him at all. When Arthur walked away, he realized that Arthur was saying that he was meddling in other people's business.
"Huh, you think I won't understand unless you tell me?" Oliver sneered at Arthur's back as he left.
The cold storage was built.
The next step is to stock up on supplies and strengthen the safety of the cold storage.
Powerful zombies will appear after the apocalypse.
These zombies are extremely destructive, and ordinary houses cannot withstand the zombies' attacks.
Although Arthur has spatial abilities, he has not learned how to attack yet.
Therefore, Arthur contacted a security company and asked them to design a set of protective facilities for him based on his freeze storage.
Moreover, he helped himself to isolate several spaces, which could be used as bathrooms, living rooms, etc.
The security company's people came to inspect it immediately.
"Mr. Arthur, there is no problem in building a bathroom, but your cold storage has a lot of safety risks and is easy to be stolen." Leo, the captain of the security company, said.
He did not ask Arthur why he built a bathroom. People in their line of work are only responsible for doing it and will not ask the employer's purpose.
"What do you mean?"
Arthur immediately became serious.
"Come up here, behind this device, there is an invisible iron door, which can be opened at will outside the cold storage at any time. And there is a special buckle under this device. It only needs to be equipped with specific wheels to move it easily. At that time, people outside can come in at their will..."
Leo pointed out the defects of the cold storage. He was a special soldier before and had rich experience in reconnaissance.
Arthur was shocked.
Fortunately, he found a security company and prepared to reinforce the cold storage. If this is not discovered, then not only everyone can enter my cold storage, but there will also be no safety during the outbreak.
No need to think more about it—this must be the entrance deliberately left by Oliver from the refrigeration equipment company.
I felt something was wrong when I saw his eyes before.
He must have seen that I was generous and in urgent need of this high-end cold storage, and thought that I was hoarding some precious materials, so he wanted to come in and steal.
Arthur suddenly felt murderous.
"Thank you, come back tomorrow to do the construction." Arthur thanked Leo from his heart.
"No problem, Mr. Arthur, but the time is a bit tight to complete the project within 3 days."
"There will be abundant rewards for you and the workers! By the way, find me some more weapons."
Arthur gave the security company 5 million and asked them to strengthen his cold storage within 3 days, because there are only 6 days left before the apocalypse.
By the way, Arthur also bought some weapons such as daggers, electric batons, and explosion-proof shields from the security company .
As for why the construction did not start today, Arthur has his own plan.
The next step is to stock up on supplies.
When the outbreak begins, the first thing is the high temperature of up to 60℃ for 30 days. In that environment, if you don't drink water for a day, it will basically be fatal enough.
Among the deaths in the previous life, the largest proportion was people who died due to thirst.
Therefore, Arthur directly ordered 10 million worth of mineral water from Esco.
Because Arthur bought a lot, the unit price was much cheaper, about 20 million bottles in total, 0.5(cny)/bottle. As before, Arthur paid a deposit of 3 million first.
Then there is the need for food.
Chicken, duck, fish, pig, cattle, sheep, rice, flour, and various seasonal fresh vegetables, Arthur bought them all from wholesalers. A total of 5 million was purchased, and every staff member in Vons supermarket was shocked.
Is there an error in the order???
The two wholesalers also paid a part of the down payment first, about 2 million.
Only Ten million…
It would be spent in just one single breath.
But he still had a lot of supplies to buy.
I have to find a way to make money.
The wholesalers delivered the goods very quickly, especially the mineral water. There is a mineral water company in Los Angeles that ranks among the top in the country. It was directly shipped locally and delivered to the cold storage in the evening. There are several semi-trailer heavy trucks.
"Mr. Arthur, your goods have been delivered, please sign for it." The leading driver named Ken walked towards Arthur with a cigarette on his yellow teeth.
"Okay, help me deliver it to the warehouse."
"We are only responsible for delivery, not unloading, sir." Ken refused.
"But when I bought it, the boss told me that unloading is free." Arthur frowned slightly.
"Then you ask the boss to unload."
Ken curled his lips and said with an expression that he had taken control of Arthur: "You can unload, but you have to pay for the unloading fee."
Their fleet often does this. When they encounter people who need goods urgently, they will make all kinds of excuses and deliberately not unload the goods.
Most people can't wait, so they have to pay the unloading fee separately. Through this method, he bought two houses in Los Angeles.
"How much is for the unloading fee?" Arthur asked.
Arthur didn't want to waste more time on that.
He actually had the ability to collect the goods into his own space area with his special ability. But using the space ability might arouse suspicion, and he didn't want to be exposed.
"You have a lot of stuff, 10,000(cny)." Ken saw Arthur so straightforward, he grinned, and opened his stinky mouth and said directly.
Arthur's eyes immediately turned cold.
These people are deliberately pitting themselves.
It's a pity that Arthur doesn't have time to entangle with these jumping clowns now.
He has more important things to do.
Otherwise...
Humph, 10,000(cny), I don't know if you will be alive to spend it by then.
"Boss is so generous!"
After receiving the money transfer, Ken's eyes lit up with greed, and he immediately told the others to move the supplies into the cold storage.
After unloading the goods, Arthur didn't rush to leave, but secretly hid in the cold storage, as if waiting for something or someone.
Sure enough.
In the early morning, there was a rustling sound outside the cold storage. Then, the cold storage facility that the security company pointed out as having a security vulnerability today suddenly began to move.
"I saw something being delivered today. The guy was so secretive about it. It must be some treasure. Let's move it out quickly."
