Zhang Yi had the delivery man send the 100 giant water barrels to his home. Then, he began to turn on all the faucets in the house and fill the barrels with water. At this rate, it would take at most a week to fill all 100 barrels.
Day by day passed. Zhang Yi hadn't been idle for a single day. He spent every penny in his hand without hesitation. Every day, he dined at the finest restaurants. He also purchased large quantities of meals from top - tier restaurants and stored them in his alternate space.
During this period, he went to the shooting range in Tianhai City every day to practice shooting with bows, crossbows, and guns, striving to improve his skills. In a month's time, it was unrealistic to train himself into a martial arts master. However, with bows, crossbows, guns, and a super - safe house with a full - metal shell, he wouldn't fear any potential danger that might come.
Naturally, such actions couldn't escape everyone's notice. But everyone around regarded Zhang Yi as a laughingstock. They thought he had mental problems and ridiculed him in private. Even Fang Yuqing deliberately distanced herself from Zhang Yi and was unwilling to communicate with him.
In this way, days passed one after another. Soon, more than twenty days had passed, and the apocalypse was drawing near. Zhang Yi had already collected a vast amount of supplies, including food, weapons, and heating equipment. However, these didn't provide him with sufficient sense of security.
He decided to target the giant Walmart warehouse. As long as he took over this warehouse, he could obtain an enormous amount of supplies that he couldn't use up in ten lifetimes!
So, Zhang Yi returned to the warehouse and went to work as usual. The Walmart warehouse had people on duty 24 hours a day. But at night, there were only 10 people on duty. Zhang Yi decided to adopt the simplest and most straightforward method, which was to add sleeping pills to their tea. Anyway, there was less than a week until the apocalypse, and he wasn't afraid of being found out. Since these people were all old acquaintances of Zhang Yi, he succeeded easily.
After the drugs took effect and they fell into a deep sleep, Zhang Yi went to the monitoring room and turned off all the cameras in the warehouse!
After doing all this, he quickly rushed to the warehouse.
Looking at the huge warehouse in front of him, Zhang Yi took a deep breath and then began to collect the supplies. As long as his right eye scanned the shelves, with just a thought, the entire shelf would appear in his alternate space.
Zhang Yi first went to the beverage area. Tens of thousands of tons of mineral water, beverages, and alcoholic drinks were stored here, including many high - end red wines and foreign liquors. Zhang Yi didn't make distinctions and stuffed them all into his warehouse. Soon, the thousands of cubic meters of beverages in front of him disappeared.
Next was the fuel area for daily necessities. There were a large number of anthracite coals, barreled gasoline, and alcohol here. They were all for household use, either for family reserves or for travel and picnics. There were tens of thousands of boxes of anthracite coal alone, not to mention the solid alcohol and barreled gasoline. The amount here was so large that Zhang Yi couldn't use it up in a hundred years! Zhang Yi didn't hesitate to collect them all. Then, using his professional knowledge of warehousing accumulated over the years, he allocated areas for them in the alternate space. Only in this way would it be convenient for him to use them.
The third step was that he came to the food area. The quantity here was even larger, reaching tens of thousands of tons! Canned food, packaged roast chickens, roast ducks, puffed food, convenience food, high - end snacks... Zhang Yi wasn't picky at all and took whatever was there.
After taking the food, Zhang Yi came to the sports equipment area. In his safe house, sports equipment was also essential. Although the space in the safe house was limited, he wouldn't be polite about what he could take. Anyway, the area of the alternate space was infinite. It would be a waste not to take them. Among them, there were some particularly useful things. For example, baseball bats and fencing swords were all excellent weapons.
During the collection process, Zhang Yi found some other particularly useful things. For example, skiing and mountaineering equipment, among which there were professional cold - proof suits of national - athlete - level. These could resist extremely cold temperatures of minus 100 degrees Celsius! Zhang Yi's eyes lit up. These were top - notch cold - proof equipment after the ice - age apocalypse! He didn't hesitate and immediately collected all the dozens of top - notch cold - proof suits and sleeping bags in the warehouse.
After a full two hours, Zhang Yi emptied the Walmart warehouse covering an area of several million square meters all by himself!
After finishing these, looking at the huge and empty warehouse, Zhang Yi felt an indescribable sense of satisfaction in his heart. Now, even in the coldest ice age, he was confident that he could live comfortably all the time!
Zhang Yi returned to his post, drank a mouthful of the tea with sleeping pills himself, and then lay on the table and fell into a deep sleep.
After an unknown period of time, he was shaken awake urgently by someone.
"Supervisor, supervisor, something terrible has happened. Wake up quickly!"
Zhang Yi slowly opened his eyes and looked at the several colleagues in front of him with a confused expression.
"What's going on?"
A warehouse employee pointed at the warehouse tremblingly and said, "It's crazy! Our warehouse has been emptied!"
"What!"
Zhang Yi stood up in surprise, slapping the table. He pretended to come to the warehouse and, as expected, saw the empty scene. Of course, Zhang Yi knew better than anyone what had happened. However, he still pretended to be weak - kneed and said in a trembling voice, "What on earth happened? How did all the supplies in the warehouse disappear!"
The surrounding employees also had nervous expressions.
"Yes. The supplies in this warehouse are worth at least tens of billions! Even if they were transported by large trucks, it would take several days to finish. How could they all disappear in the blink of an eye?"
They didn't mention the fact that they had just been sleeping. After all, it was common for them to be lazy and take a nap during the night shift.
Zhang Yi had a solemn expression and pretended to be anxious, pacing back and forth a couple of times.
Then he said to everyone, "This matter is too strange. We can't solve it. Let's call the people above and inform them!"
Although everyone was very nervous in their hearts, they weren't too scared. Because if the matter became a big issue, they wouldn't bear much responsibility. The supplies worth tens of billions in the entire warehouse disappeared in just two hours. Obviously, this wasn't something they could have done. With a monthly salary of just a few thousand yuan, they didn't have to risk their lives for the company.
So when Zhang Yi said this, everyone nodded in agreement. Let the people above worry about this mess!
Zhang Yi immediately called the warehouse manager to inform him of this matter. When the manager heard the news, he was completely shocked and even thought Zhang Yi was joking with him.
