The first stop was the Water Companies.
In the disaster days, the bodies of water either dried up or got contaminated by amoebas.
People became dehydrated and suffered from gastrointestinal diseases, causing the hospitals to be crammed by patients.
Even after the disaster, the water problem became worse because the remaining water sources were guarded by herds of alien beasts.
People could only depend on pre-apocalyptic bottled water and water-based Mental Power awakeners for supply.
For the water containers, she bought 500 thickened stainless steel water tank with a storage capacity of 30 tons.
Lu Nanzhi specially asked the several mineral water factories to fill them up. Once done, it will be delivered to the factory warehouse.
She bought 2000 separate plastic and steel containers of 20 gallons to 20 tons capacities to store water for household use.
She also purchased 5000 boxes of 5 gallons of water and 3000 boxes of 12 in 1 of 500 ml purified water and paid 2 million yuan for the container and water.
In addition to drinking water, Lu Nanzhi also plans to hoard a batch of ice cubes for the extremely hot weather.
So she found an ice-processing company and ordered 2000 large-sized one-cubic-meter bricks and 2000 small 10-cubic-meter ice cubes for another 140, 000 yuan.
When Lu Nanzhi saw the big machines, she thought of buying water filtration machines.
The manager was very happy with Lu Nanzhi's large spending and said to her that he knows someone with a water treatment facility because, because of the lack of funds, the factory had been abandoned.
"Customer, if you want to, I can call him for you."
Lu Nanzhi was particularly interested.
She doesn't know if the water machines would survive the disasters; it would be a waste to leave them be.
Or should she just go for zero-dollar shopping?
(A/N: Zero-dollar shopping is Chinese slang for looting.)
This place is only an 8-hour' drive away from home.
At the last moment, the virtual farm came to her mind.
Would there be a function that can produce water too? She contemplated.
"I'll think about it."
Because three days were up, Lu Nanzhi had to drive back to the Grand Central Market to collect the prior orders she made.
After paying the rest of the deposits, the foods were loaded onto the shelves of the truck before Lu Nanzhi stored them in the inventory space.
For a span of a week, she went straight to the optimal production areas in various cities.
The first on the route were the textile, garment, and bedding factories.
Using the excuse of opening a department store, she placed an order of 1000 sets of dark and grey sportswear, assault suits with the best scratch-resistant, stab-resistant, and water-proof effects, 1000 sets of breathable spring, summer clothes of pure cotton material, and thick cashmere winter clothes, 1000 sets of female underwear of her size, 50 sets each of thick cashmere and fleece blankets with excellent warmth, white duck down quilts, high-quality summer cool quilts each, 50 pieces of electric blankets, and 50 sets of pillows, spending 470, 000 yuan.
Just in case, ten copies of manual and electric sewing machines, 100 boxes of different colored threads, sewing tools, and rolls of the same textile material used to make the assault suits.
After the end of the world, there is not only a shortage of food but also a shortage of paper.
Lu Nanzhi drove to the paper mill and stationary factories and bought 2, 000 boxes of paper rolls, toilet papers, tissues, A4 papers, and 100 boxes of pens, pencils, and markers.
On the way, she also visited dozens of pharmaceutical companies.
"My company is planning to conduct a charity event, and we wanted to donate medicines to clinics in impoverished mountainous areas. I wonder if you can help me gather the ones on the list."
The managers prepared the medicines on the list, and because one company cannot provide all the medicine, she had to travel non-stop.
200 boxes each of various medicines for colds, anti-inflammation, pain relief, diarrhea, cough, as well as laxatives, antipyretics and antipyretic plasters, hemostatic drugs, burns, mosquito bites, dermatitis, eczema, acne, scar removal, vitamin supplements for calcium, iron, and zinc deficiencies, and 500 bottles of anti-radiation medicines.
Five boxes of 10,000 N-95 masks, 250 boxes of medical absorbent cotton, widely used dressings, 100 sets of isolation protective clothing, 500 gas mask filters, 100 disposable surgical gowns, and 20 sets of surgical instruments.
Fighting would be inevitable in the future.
Lu Nanzhi also included medicines for treating bruises, removing blood stain, improving blood circulation, various bandages, injectable and oral antibiotics, alcohol, medicine sprays, powders, medical disinfection wipes, and trauma sutures used to stop bleeding.
"Manager, can you please prepare the ones proven with the best efficacy and have the latest date of manufacture and prepare both types for adults and children? My performance for the month depends on this, and if I receive a bonus, I will come back to your company every time we organize charity events."
The manager glanced at the 5, 000 yuan the customer stuffed in his pocket secretly and happily complied since the request wasn't too much and it was beneficial to him. "Don't worry, Miss. I will personally see to it so that there will be no problem."
Lu Nanzhio also found a pharmacy selling oxygen cylinders and hoarded 100 of them.
She spent a total of 30 million Yuan.
Exhausted from driving non-stop, Lu Nanzhi decided to take a break and drive back to the city, not knowing someone was waiting for her by the door of her apartment.
"Sister!"
Lu Nanzhi: "..."
