Chapter 2 Hoarding and Islands
【2】
Now that there is a star house warehouse with a quiet time, Youxi decided to stock up more things that had not been stocked before.
The space of 180 cubic meters is not big, but it is not small. Because the time-flowing static items appear hovering after entering, they can be stacked. If the space is arranged reasonably, you can stock up a lot of things.
Escape from L Island and having to spend three months thereafter, conservatively estimated that she would have to stay in the end world for about a hundred days. If she only ate convenience foods, she would probably vomit.
She had to fill in the Star House Warehouse with some fresh vegetables, fruit, flesh, eggs, fish, shrimps, etc. - try to make herself feel more comfortable if she had the conditions.
With six days left, she is not sure whether she has the conditions to stock up after entering the end of the world, so she has to prepare in advance. There are a lot of things to prepare, and she has made another purchase list before going to bed.
She listed clothes and supplies according to the equipment she went to Antarctica. It doesn’t matter whether it looks good or not. She focuses on windproof and waterproofing and keep warm. In addition, she has tent sleeping bags, windproof solid alcohol stoves, camping pots, and self-cooking pots. Because she likes to go outdoor camping, she has them at home.
In terms of self-defense, she plans to buy a few more bottles of anti-wolf sprays. At her current level, she is not very suitable for use. She is afraid that when she shines her knife, she will be taken off and hurt herself. She can consider getting a few self-defense sticks, such as three-section telescopic, and two electric shock sticks.
The next day she got up early and went to the car rental store to pick up the car she had rented before. She rented the car for six days, and specially picked one-way filmed windows to facilitate stocking and shopping in the past few days.
Her first stop was to buy cold-proof clothing, several sets of sweat-absorbing and sweat-absorbing and sweat-absorbing and warm fleece clothes, several sets of lightweight and warm down jackets, several sets of windproof and waterproof fleece jackets, cashmere hats, cashmere scarves, fleece finger-parting gloves, waterproof finger-proof gloves, cashmere socks, and waterproof boots.
From the inside out, from the top to the bottom, armed to the teeth.
This part costs her a lot of money, and the tsunami can hide inland and highlands, but the low temperature has nowhere to hide. The main reason is that she doesn't know how low the low temperature is, so she all depends on the coldest resistance.
The clothes she purchased filled the entire car. She turned several roads and came to a warehouse-style shopping supermarket half a city. She parked in an inconspicuous corner of the underground garage. She quickly took the clothes on the car to the Xingwu warehouse before getting off the car.
The difference between this storage supermarket and an ordinary large supermarket is that the quantity of all products is five to ten times that of other supermarkets. People who come here to buy things are lazy or rich people who don’t often go to supermarkets. If you buy supplies from a large shopping cart, you can eat and use them for a long time.
In such a shopping environment, it would not seem strange even if she buys a lot of goods.
The convenient food at home is temporarily enough. This time she chose foods that are more likely to be broken: pig big chop pork ribs pork ribs pork pine bone pork tenderloin shredded pork, steak steak squid beef rolls, lamb chop mutton rolls, chicken wings and chicken legs, various river fish base shrimps, river shrimps, Taiwanese shrimps, various sea fish, oyster scallops, swift crab peel shrimps, blue crabs, black tiger shrimps, clams, razor snails, various types of appropriate amounts, various hot pot meatballs, yellow throat duck blood, tripe, vermicelli konjac, various green leafy vegetables, mushrooms, vegetables, roots and vegetables.
Various canned and bottled salt, chicken essence, pepper, cumin powder, dark soy sauce, light soy sauce, vinegar, rice wine, onion, ginger, garlic, millet pepper, pickled cucumber, meals, olive vegetables, salted duck eggs, fresh milk, eggs, sausage, yogurt, noodles, quick frozen dumplings, hand-catch cakes, and apples, banana pears that make you easy to eat.
Rice is 5 kg x5, edible oil is 5 liters x5, 24 bags are instant noodles x5 boxes, 24 barrels are convenient for fans x2 boxes.
Two boxes of 5lx8 barrel water, two boxes of 500mlx48 bottle water, several boxes of bottled coffee, several boxes of 40 packed paper and several bags of 20 rolled paper, and two boxes of 100gx200 blocks of solid alcohol.
I also bought two more windproof solid alcohol stoves. I also bought a plaid baking tray that can be used on the solid alcohol stove...
You Xi was buying and buying, but she became addicted to shopping. She wanted to fill in the shopping cart when she saw anything. The shopping cart in the warehouse supermarket was specially made, and the upper and lower floors were very large, but she couldn't stand it like this, so she brought her a little bit of rationality.
In the end, because there were too many things, such as water, drinks, rice and oil, she had to ask supermarket employees to help her. The other party had a good working attitude and pushed the cart directly to her car and helped her move it into the trunk.
She had someone put the rear seats of the SUV flat when renting a car. Now, except for the front seats, the rear space can be used to store things.
After leaving the supermarket parking lot, she drove through half a city as usual, and quietly moved all the supplies in the car into the star house space in the corner of a secluded underground garage.
You Xi closed his eyes and used his consciousness to view the current inventory in the space, which made him feel a little more secure.
Although these things cost her a lot of money today, compared to life, this money is really nothing.
While having dinner at a beef noodle restaurant, she suddenly had inspiration. Before leaving, she packed five portions of red soup beef noodles and five portions of spicy beef noodles, all with beef and coriander. She carried ten portions of noodles in the car and put them in the space after getting on the car.
The flow is still in the space, and the things look like when they are put in, and when they are taken out, it is still the same. When it is inconvenient to cook, you can also eat fresh and delicious food in one second.
She was so blessed that she sat in the car and started placing orders on takeaway online using her mobile phone.
Commonly bought milk tea shops: coconut and coconut herbs x5 cups, black brick milk tea with pearls x5 cups, honey grapefruit tea x5 cups.
Fresh chicken shops I often buy: Double-spoke boneless chicken nuggets 1 person set x 5 servings, chicken legs and chicken wings set x 5 servings.
I often buy braised vegetable shops: 10 boxes of duck wings, 10 boxes of duck claws, and 10 boxes of pig trotters.
I often buy roast duck shop: 10 boxes of crispy roast duck (one box is cut into pieces).
Commonly bought sushi restaurants: thick cut salmon x 5 parts, low heat seven tang x 5 parts, seafood cheese thick roll x 5 parts, fresh shrimp avocado roll x 5 parts, salmon paella x 5 parts, king crab meat Caesar salad x 5 parts.
Pizza shops I often buy: 10-inch potato hells, bacon, zixin pizza x2, 10-inch roasted beef, zixin pizza x2, 10-inch cream spinach chicken pizza x2, fried squid beard, potato latte, and roasted wings.
The crayfish shop I often buy - wait! She has to calm down. What she wants to go to now is the end of the world, mainly for escaping life. Forget those things before, they taste quite convenient. Crayfish are too troublesome to eat, so let’s forget it!
Youxi tried hard to control himself, and finally ordered: black fish fillets of sauerkraut, Mao Xuewang, spicy fat beef pot, spicy chicken, spicy bullfrog, Mapo tofu, spicy and sour potato shredded potatoes, dry pot cabbage, stir-fried green beans, rice x10, tomato and egg soup.
【…】
Although the Star House system did not open, You Xi inexplicably felt a state of being willing to speak but stopping. This feeling is quite strange. Logically speaking, it is just a central processor and a system, and it should not have such emotions similar to organic living organisms.
However, the system didn't open, and You Xi was too lazy to pay attention to it.
She put down her cell phone and drove back to the apartment. When she passed by the large pharmacy outside the community, she got off the car and took some common medicines for headaches and fever, such as antibiotics, wind oil essence and cooling oil, alcohol iodine, disinfectant gauze, Yunnan Baiyao and warm treasure stickers, etc.
The takeaways I ordered before were delivered one after another every one and a half hours. She deliberately staggered the time to avoid the rider from hitting him.
She ordered a lot of things, but it was not enough to be exaggerated. With five days left, she could continue to make up for something she wanted to eat every day.
After You Xi returned home, she packed up some dishes and tableware and put them in the star room. The camping equipment in the tent was at her parents' home. She had to go back to get things tomorrow.
She had a busy day, but she didn't cook at night, so she took a portion of Mao Xuewang and dry pot cabbage, steamed a bowl of rice herself, and ate it with satisfaction.
After dinner, she went online to Taobao to place an order of two boxes of self-heating hotpot, both of which were 24 boxes, one box of spicy fat beef and tomato brisket each. Then she added three boxes of compressed biscuits, which were also 24 packs, one box of cheese, sesame, and original.
She also browsed the self-heating rice, but she had eaten this thing once, and the taste was really not satisfactory, so she still didn't buy it after considering it.
Finally, she found several online stores in our city and bought a few three-section sticks and electric shock sticks. The other party promised to arrive the next day.
Afterwards, the takeaways were delivered one after another. She asked the rider to ring the doorbell and put it outside the apartment door. She only opened the door to pick it up when the other party entered the elevator, and then put it into the Star House warehouse one by one.
The apartment building she lives in has eight units, most of which are busy single company employees, renting or buying such a split-level single apartment.
Compared to You Xi, who works at home most of the time, the others are basically not seen all day long, and the neighbors are not as familiar with each other as her parents, and they will greet each other and chat a few times. The relationship is very unfamiliar, and no one cares about other people's business. It is because of this that she can order various takeaways with confidence.
That night, You Xi sat on the cold ground of the star room, opened a warehouse entrance on the wall, began to organize and allocate space reasonably.
Although there is no time to flow or gravity inside, she has a bit of obsessive-compulsive disorder and a little cleanliness obsessed with it, and she doesn't want to take out steaks or slut crabs from warm clothes.
Therefore, eating and using separate food, daily necessities and warm clothing, and lettuce and cooked food.
Various fresh meat ingredients such as pigs, sheep, beef, chicken, etc. are placed in a whole box, seafood and aquatic products are placed in a whole box, vegetable mushroom seasonings are filled in a whole box, fruits are placed in a whole box, fresh milk, yogurt, sausages and various quick-frozen foods are not bought in a large amount, put them in a whole box together...
After that, the boxes are stacked, which is both neat and clear. Anyway, you can pick up the items directly and think about it, so you don’t have to move them away and look for them one by one.
The material accumulation is quite large, and the sense of security has increased a little.
For the remaining days, she learned swimming for half a day and went to the boxing gym that she often went to practice self-defense during extra classes.
She has been studying Aikido in this boxing gym for more than a year, and the advice she gave to her was given by her father. Because she moved from her home more than a year ago, she bought a small apartment she bought, and her father was worried that she would live alone, so the condition given was to learn some martial arts that could protect herself.
Aikido is good at throwing, and the movements are not large, but the joint skills are very strong and complicated, but they can fight against strong with weak, which is very suitable for girls.
In the five days, Youxi ordered some small wontons, soup buns, fried dough sticks, noodle soup, egg cakes, tea eggs and other takeouts in the morning, learned to swim in the morning, went to the boxing gym in the afternoon, and went home in the evening to receive some delicious food takeout: Sichuan-Hunan cuisine, Cantonese cuisine, Subang cuisine, Northeast cuisine, sushi pizza fried chicken, and various dessert milk tea... Takeout twice a day in the morning and evening, and the meat and vegetables are all placed in the Xingwu Warehouse.
Looking at the takeaway that was still in the corner of the Star House warehouse at various angles, Youxi suffered from obsessive-compulsive disorder again.
She took the time to go to the hardware door and window shop and asked the boss to work for her six aluminum alloy racks, two meters high, one meter wide and thirty centimeters deep. After the things were delivered to her, she put six racks into the Star House warehouse and lined up next to one side of the warehouse. The six racks were narrow and six meters long and had just occupied a full length, but the height was only one-third.
Each shelf has seven layers. In addition to various takeaways, some open snacks, beverages, pots, pans, tableware and other scattered items can be placed on it, with clear classification and clear at a glance.
Every night, she would search for information about tsunamis and low temperatures online, and finally spend time to finish the last drawing of the same series of original design drafts she had received before, submit the draft before the last day, and then get a 30% advance payment.
These advance payments just offset her expenses over the past few days, and it is considered a balance between income and expenditure.
Half an hour before midnight six days later, You Xi pressed the alarm clock, got up, washed up and entered the star house.
[The world will open in five minutes.]
You Xi suppressed his nervous mood and confirmed again: "Can Xingwu Warehouse be used normally in the end world?"
【Yes, host.】
"Why do tasks, what are the meaning and purpose?"
[This question will be answered after the host completes a certain number of end-of-life tasks.]
"If you want to give a definition, are you good or evil?"
[Host, Star House is just a tool and medium.]
"..." sounded like an answer, but in fact there was nothing.
Five minutes passed quickly, and You Xi reached out and held the handle of the gate of the star room under the signal of Xingwu. The cold feeling once again invaded the whole body. The door panel turned into star dots and disappeared. You Xi felt his body sinking and lost consciousness.
When You Xi regained consciousness, she found herself in a semi-open-air cafeteria by the sea. She was sitting near the fence at the long table of eight people. Outside the fence on the left was sunny coconut shadow beach sea breeze. Through the shade of the trees, she could see the endless blue sea.
Around them are travelers wearing cool clothes, holding plates to pick up food on the buffet table, with a happy expression and laughing and chatting constantly.
Everything around her seemed extremely real. She remembered that the Star House System said that this end-of-day world merged into pieces of the two worlds, so is the world where she is now in the real world?
She called the system to ask in her heart, but the system did not answer her.
She calmed down and found that there were more information about herself in this world, or settings in her mind.
This world is slightly lower than its native world, equivalent to the level ten to fifteen years ago, and the planetary countries are roughly the same, similar to parallel worlds.
She is from Jingguoshu and an ordinary employee who comes to Haiguoshu for vacation with the company's team building activities.
The Haiguo is located in the Southeast Asian waters of the Beijing Kingdom. It is a small country. The L Island is one of the many islands of the Haiguo Kingdom. It is far from the Capital Island and other islands. Although the scenery is good, the location is cheap because the travel expenses are cheap, so the company chose the address here.
The company was built in groups in batches. This time there were 30 people coming to L Island together. She lived in a room with another female employee named Xiaolu in the company.
Currently, they are not on the main island of L Island, but on the Coral Island, which has many snorkeling activities and water projects. The boat journey is about two hours from L Island.
They came here yesterday and planned to have two days and one night activities. She still had a beach wooden house with Xiaolu, including some luggage, one passport, wallet and mobile phone.
The Coral Island is not large in size, with bright sunshine, clear sea water, and beautiful white sand beaches. Because the hotel rooms are limited, you must make an appointment to go to the island.
The island is full of beach wooden houses, villas, and a few water houses. The tallest building is the restaurant where she is now, two stories high and one rooftop.
You Xi didn't know which direction the tsunami came from, but at such a height, no matter which direction the tsunami came from, it could not hide.
The best way to do it is to take a boat back to Island L, then go directly to the airport, and take the fastest flight to leave.
But You Xi felt that the task would not be that simple. After all, it would only cost 30 star coins for three months in survival under the low temperature disaster, and you could get 10 star coins by just escaping from Island 1.
Sure enough, when she used her mobile phone to check the fastest flight to book tickets on L Island, she found that the departure time was 11:30 pm.
It is 9:05 am now, and the tsunami will hit five hours later, that is, around 2:00 pm. If the plane misses the point, the half-hour time difference is too dangerous. If the tsunami comes, if she is at the airport, she is likely to be involved in the flood due to terrain.
It is impossible to leave this road by plane, and it is even more impossible to take a boat, because the distance is too far, and there is no direct shipping to other large islands and land.
So, she has only five hours now to find a safe place to hide from the tsunami.
Chapter completed!
